Our readers will remember I hat some |' weeks since we published the text ??t" Mr. i Whittouiore's bill to enforce the payment of!, the poll tax. The bill made it a misdemea- ; uor. punishable with tine and imprisonment | tor a person to fail or refuse to pay the poll j tax. We do not know the exact shape in which i1 the bill passed, but if it is similar in its pro- j visions to the one introduced, it becomes a I matter of grave importance that the information be made public. As soon as we are able to obfain a copy of the bill as it passed, we will jfliblish it entire for the benefit of those whom it may con?crn. Hitherto the poll tax has been uncollectible l?v any process of law, and many per j fcou- availed themselves <>t that laet to avoid ; its payment. Now. however, it will he otherwise The Double I'osiuge Exaction Abun- i rioiietK. The Washington correspondent of the New York 7ou/ ?o</?'/ ('"ntJio't'c' says: The Hostmaster-Heneral having submitted tnrlip Attovnev-t icucral the question, "Should letter* not fully prepaid be charged at the office of delivery with double the deficient postage or only with the balance not pre-j paid." the Attorney-t leneral has. after a full j consideration of the different sections of the ' "Act to revise, consolidate and amend the ! statutes relating to the Postoffice Department," given his opinion that letters not fully prepaid at the time of mailing should not Le charged with double deficient postage, but only with the actual balance not prepaid. Immediately upon the receipt of the opinion, the Postmastcr-CIencral gave directions that the Postoffice Department should conform therewith. Our Attorney tieurral. Wc see by our Columbia exchanges that < AM orney-deneral Melton i- about to open [' fire on some of the fatted calves." Judge Melton has fine abilities, and if lie sees fit ' to use them in the right way, he will gain ] the lasting esteem and gratitude of those of , our people who love right and justice, and 1 he seems to be beginning in the right way. We copy a part of the procedings with a brief summary of the facts, so that our readers may see what is going on : , ? 1? /I CiL ,M ANDA.Ml.'S.? l lio case ul u. v . .^mver, | . petitioner, for a mandamus against the State ? Treasurer, to compel him to pay a warrant < issued by the ex-Couitroller General to the ' m Superintendent of the penitentiary lor the i ,.uu. ?a> uearxt oeiore Judge 1\. ( B. Carpenter, sitting in chambers. It is an ' interesting one. and promises to develope j some new principles of law not yet generally i recognized. { Some time since we gave the statement in c reference to these warrants, and repeat the J same here for the benefit of those who may ] have forgotten the facts in the case. Last \ summer the Coudroller General issued twelve . warrants at one time of $5000 each. Six J? of these warrants were paid by the Treasurer. 1 The remaining six were deposited as c collaterals with Governor Scott for 815.000. a 1 ess ninety days interest at one and one-half ti per cent, a month. 1'esides these collaterals o General Stolbrand gave his individual note, a Governor Scott refusing to take his note as ii Superintendent. As soon as General Strol- ; t brand obtained any money of the Treasurer, ! I this winter ho tendered the Mh.uuu, and demanded his note and the collaterals. 1 Governor Scott said the note was paid by j Mr. Baldwin, he having received three of the warrants Ibr the same, and Governor Scott refused to cive up the remaining three, ' amounting to $15,000, claiming that they d had passed out of his possession. ! tl One of these warrants has turned up in the ; >j possession of Mr. It. ('. Shiver, and he brings j n a suit of mandamus against the Treasurer to ' ai compel payment. General .Stolbrand having 11( stopped the payment of the three warrants m last named at the treasury. ? \, At the hearing Attorney General Melton u appeared for State Treasurer t'urdozo. The ,,1 first point he made was to the law in refer- i h etrrc to the payment of appropriations, that 1 y money collected this year could not be paid ? out on old accounts llis further remarks. j< as reported in the / .'. < <tiny Ib ruhl, were as tl follows: J (. The Attorney General took occasion to h say that in every instance where the State a Treasurer or unity ticasurers have, in viola- (l tion of the provision- of ilu* constitution, di- J| verted funds in their hands n un the purposes J. for whieh'thev were levied.jlic^ should hold }, them responsible under their official bonds and make thcui answerable before flio courts, j, both eivil atid criminal. ,-i IJut even if the treasury were in funds to meet this warrant, tin; Attorney tienernl I argued with irroat earnestness that the war- ^ rant can only he paid at the counter of the < treasury upon the presentation of it by the t< superintendent himself. or his authorized a ajjent; that alien the warrant is issued, for p instance, to pay the salary of an officer it he- u comes the property of the officer, and he w may possibly dispose < f it oil the market: h but when a warrant i> i?siie i to a public officer authorizing him ( < draw money from .-i the treasury t<* < \j. ud f r public purposes, h he acquires no owe. ? hip or property in the p paper; he ha- ineieiv the possession of it d< for the purpose d.-'-ind and can neither II sell, negotiate. ] :* 1 ui>r di-poso of it in a? any other manner whatsoever.

H'iisliiiii?lou*N llirt lidu.v. This event was celebrated with great eclat and demonstrations of delight, in Charleston. The white -melish." beg pardon, the "rifle clubs," paraded through the prinr.in.1 fhniiioht'ivcs and listened to one of! "I f - those old time, long and eulogistic, though tasteful and eloquent harangues, such as used to be indulged in on Fourth of July celebrations, lite Hon. W. I>. Porter was the orator of the occasion, ami the speech was delivered in the Academy of Music, which was crowded from pit to dome.? Among the honorary members of the Washington Light Infantry seated on the stage, we notice the name of their "perpetual Secretary,"our worthy citizen. Donald McQueen. IN CAMDKN the celebration was confined to the trimming of some choice peach trees in a gentleman's orchard by three of his sons, who had heard their immediate paternal ancestor narrate the anecdote of the "Father of his Country" doing his duty to his father's cherry tree, with his little hatchet, tlm only difference being that the boys unfolded a narrative in which they made ingenious use of circumstantial evidence which did not strictly conform to the facts of the case, and were therefor ignominious))* thrashed by tlu-ir hardhearted father. ? Apart from this, unless the fact bad been otherwise known, no one would have supposed that Washington or any other man had first "seen light" on that day. Tlie Seven Wontler* of the World. As many of our readers use this expression or have heard it. we reproduce here an enumeration of the seven wonders, knowing that they are new to many of them. The seven wonders of the world arc among the traditions of childhood, and yet it is a remarkable fact that 00 persons out of 100 who might be asked the tjuestinn could not name them They are the pyramids?the mystery of the past?the enigma of the present ?and the enduring for the future ages of this world. The temple, the walls and hanging gardens of Babylon, the most celebrated city )f Assyria, and the residence of the king that country alter the destruction of Nineveh.

Mr. Ames' case will come up first. It is not known what course tho Committee will adopt. The impression is very prevalent that there will be no expulsions, as it requires a two-third vote. COI.EAX IMPEACHMENT. Iiittl?j did Mr. Colfax think when he was Speaker in the House, and cast his vote for the impeachment of Andrew Johnson with such a flourish of trumpets that he would so soon be placed in a like position, with the difference that president Johnson was the victim of partizan malignity and political csped iency, while lie (Colfax) is charged with criminal practices by an old personal and party friend. Alas! what a change' has come over the scene. Even though the Judiciary Committoo, presided over by Demi-John A. Dingham, one of the Credit Mobilier lame ducks, should not find sufficient evidence before the Poland Cominiitce to prefer articles of impeachment against any j>ublic ajfieew, as the resolution reads, the fact that Mr. Colfax was screened by the vote of Dawes, Garfield.

THE VALUE OF THE l'RESS AND ITS ABUSE. It is only the observer here that can have a correct idea of the influence of the press upon Congress; generally it is salutatry? though sometimes it is the reverse. This power has been strikingly illustrated in stirring up investigations, and especially the Credit Mobilier fraud, and the New York Stock Exchange Expose. While we lind uiuoh to commend in the independence and fidelity to the profession, there are many among the craft, if I may so term it. who prostitute their pens to slander or blackinuiling purposes. A NOTABLE INSTANCE of this kind was nipped in the hud by the President of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York, who at once brought suit for libel against a writer who had attacked its management as fraudulent; the result was the ambitious scribbler was lodged in jail. As an answer to the charge made, the company. the largest in the world, issued its regular annual statement, which is a complete and satisfactory vindication of its management, showing it to be a model of economy and financial success, and one that might not only be an example for corporations generally, but for our government, as its expenses for the past year were only 7 per cent, of its receipts. The prompt action of the Mutual in bringing the question he< ..?? ?u. t.ijituuui snrinking irom the breath of the detainer, is worthy of imitation in similar cases which would have the effect of deterring venal and malicious scribblers from the work of bringing discredit on the profession.
