4lndt Ciounty taxes wiereo levied nupon
thiril goods for the fisca.l year 18302.
Th'Ii validity of tho am.ouint taxed
was disputed ulpom vanuious grounds,
m.d, amiong others, that a ftortion of
w'ho goods had nlready been un previous
iissedsmets. Thue can s was heard

was rendered agiainst thtom to tho
al mount of $1,15 2 iinud costs, "ench jndg

cmoini aflhe Uniite.d States."
An apipen1 was5 taiken to'tie Supreme
Courit of the Te'rritory of' Nvada, wvhero
the jutdgement was afirired.
Friomu thence the case was carried upl
for error to tihe .ttpromo Court, of the
. United States, who oni Monday last
r'everso.1 tito dlecision on this gsoinit. The
Court, says "thu judgment, of~ii Iheistrict
C.ourt was err'oneous in boing reondored
for gold and silver coin of cho United
St es. The obje'ct ion to paving the
tax, if a subject or'suit, as it, is stated in
this case, is a debt and falls within the
Act of Congress of Feubruary 25th,
'1802, making the Treasury notes issued
ni pursuanee of it a legal tender in pay-.
meats of debts. The judgmnent was in
direct coniliet with the Act., a. in re
quirmig the ppiyment of' coin, it-denied
the rightof pay mont in legalised paper
curroncy."
It will be observed that the debt in
tis case wvas contracted after the-pas
sage of the Act, and this deoision, there.

judgment on theo part of the Supreme
Court that the Act coistitutional, -and
that U ted States Treasury Notes are i

TIoN.-O-o of the chief topics of dis
cussion in Radical circles just now is
the arrivai ot John it. 6urratt, who
loft AlOxandria morie .than a month
since, on board the steamer 1watara.
The vessel is now fully a week over

Is known to be able. to carry but coal
enough to last her but thirty days.
This, however. need cause no anxiety ;
for, oven should her supply of coal l
exhausted, she, cotld easily sa il under

by some severo storm, may be looked
for at aity hour at Fortress Monroo.
The secret of this approbeision, hew
over, has yet to be toll. It is desigit.
od to have the trial of Surratt play an
important part inl the impeachment
business; and lu this way : Some
leading Radical lawyor (probably Mr.
Bingham, of Ohilo; who fgured in tho
proseoution of tho other alleged con
spirators,) is to be retained to assist
inl the prosecution of Surratt, who will
avail himself of this opportunity to
rehash all the horriblo circumstancs
connected with the death of the late -
laitnonted Lincoln. This, it is belicv
ed, will revive the Intonse popular
fooling which prevailed at the tiie,
and by a series of well-turned inneit
does arouse a projudiceo against his suc

impeachment matter will be pushed

has not the .Union been restored ?
The war was fought to restore it, and
the war being over, all resistaneo to
the (overnment having ceaied, why is
the Union still unrestored ? Ill the
very beginning of the war, op0res4
unanimousl y dCelired that whnol the
robellions Statos ceased their opposi
tion to the Government and re'urned
to obodience to tire Comstitutim)n, they
should be restoretl to their ilace in
the lnion. Why has not this been
done 1 What is the solo obstacle in
the way of tha-t desira-ble end ? it is
the sato that stoOKd persistently in the
way. of all patriotic efforts to- avert the
war ; the same that deluged the land
in blood, covered it with mourning for
its lost sons, and burthened the people
with unparalleled debt and taxation ;
it is the Radical party. But for the'
selfish, factious and mercenary course
of that paity; the Union would never
have been broken, and I it for that
faction it could be rei tored in a day.
The Radical part-y alono stands in
the way of such a consuninat ion. The
loaders of the party are oppos-d to a
Union of all the States. With quch a
union they would be in minority. A
minority Congress could not then rule
the majority, threaten thle President,
and bully and insult the Supreme
Court. The election of a Presidentr
would then be partieipatod in by all
the States, and the Rtadical candidate
would he defeated by an ovorwhelm

be the (eath blew to Radicalism, and

earth is covored vith snow. When

his nose 'etath thu chilly bed clothes;

woes ; and wi tl al's I and with oh's I
with his limbs . to dispose, so tlat
noeither his toes nor his nose may be
froze, to his slueinbr in silonuo thu
bachclor goos. Jn the morn when
the cook crows, and the sun has just
rose, from beneath the bed clothes
pops the bachelor's nose, and as you
may supposo, when ha larg; how the
w ind blaons, sees the windows all froze,
why back 'noath the clothes, pops the
poor follow's nose, for full well lie
knows, if from that bod ho rose to put
