that in a number of districta eontetae of
such a nature ravc been instituted thai
t neither th lepubloan nor Democratic

i of eotion from the Governor, In all
{I uoh cases the name of neither is placed
a upn the roll: and as the Republicans
claim to have carried nearly all of
A thUes districts, and the questions
a involved are principally technical
, ones, of course, the result is to
a give to the Democrats a larger-majority
than they otherwise would have. It is
now reported that the roll.as made up
by Clerk Adams will show the Demo
cratio majority to beal,oub 17. Leading
Iteptibliean members of the next House
now in Washington have held an in
formal consultation upon the subject,
the object being to devise some means
to prevent any arbitrary of unusual pro.
oeeding. They are unanimously of the
opinion that to refuse to place upon the
list the name of any Republican whose
certifloato of election is forwarded to the
Clerk would be arbitrary and illegal,
- and measures will be taken to make a
I protest against it of such a natute as to
be effective.

A fores of Deputy rolleetors to Aid In the
Entforerment of the Laws.
N . Y. Bun
WAnIIoNCTow, March 14.-The Commis
sloner of Internal Revenue has issued
a circular to collectors in the South,
in which he says that the frauds against
the revenues and the determined re
siltance to the enforcement of the
laws in portions of the States of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir
ginta, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee,
have become so extensive that the
ordinary means for the collection of the
revenue have, to a very 'great extent,
been set at defiance, and it has become
necessary, in certain places, to call upon
the military arm of the government to
protect the civil ofioers in the perfor
mance of their duties. The use of a
military force for the collection of the
revehue is not desirable when it can be
avoided, and should not be long contin
uod; and the object now is to so
strengthen the hands of collectors with
a large force of deputy collectors to aid
In the enforcement of the laws that at
an early day the military force may be
withdrawn.
The Commissioner says it is the de
termination of the government to break
up all frauds against the revenues, and
to that end the efforts now being put
forth for that purpose will continue
with unabated vigor until that object Is
accomplished, and collectors and depu
ties will be required to give their whole
time and attention diligently and faith
fully to the performance of their duties.
Allowanýtes will be made for the pay of
three additional deputies for each SBoth
ern district. These deputies are de
signed speoially for the duty of sup
pressing the illicit manufacture, sale
and shipment of spirits and tobaooo in
said distriots.

[ The Supremo Court through its organ,
Chief Justice Manning, this morning
decided the came of Jacob 1lawkins vs.
The I'lcayuno Publishing (Company ad
versely to Hawkins. The decision is
characterized throughout by dignifled
and able enunciations of the law and is
very severe on Judge Lynch, before
whom the ease was tried, on aecount of
his rulings.
The suit, it will be remembered, was
for $10,000 for libel, based upon an
article publishe1d in the J'laetynu. , alleg
Ing Hawkins to lbe a corrupt judge.
The Court, commenting on the action
of the dlntllff. says:
In thin case the testihmony of the
Crier fr Iho ecourt was offered
to prove hiis own suceossful bribery of
one or the jnrorI, 1in1l upon ascelt aniIng

while the olficer was aconlllpan.ying

The refusal of the judgeo to, grant a
new trial under Ilh's ci rcu(ll tances is
not merely an error in law. It .1 N Ili

quiro the interposition of counsel to
move the judge promptly to repair an
Injury to his own condemnation of jus
tice, effectedl by such foul means. The
knowledge of the stain on that day and
by that act stam pod upon his court, was
brought home to him by pirotracted
and repeatedl appeals for its
removal. ll s own knowldge of

Yosterdalny the levee bill originating in
the Coumnittee on Lands and ILovAns in
the House, which has been the subject
of considerable labor, finally assumed a,
satisfactory shape and was adopted see
tion by section, after, however, several
important alterations had been made
relating to the division of those tarts
of the State subject to Inundation into
enaineer distriocts and sub districts.
Besuids this feature, the bill, whilst
remaining hsleqt regarding the three
mill general tax now imposed for levee
purposes provides for Boards of Levee
ommitls oners in the parishes subject
to inundation, who are authorized to
determine what protection works, not
provided for, shall be performed as they
may become nhcessary, and the boards
are besides authorized to levee a tax not
to exceed one mroll on the dollar, to be
used for the proteotion of the sub-dise
trict In whloh It Is levied. This is the
general purport of the bill, the particu
lars of which are not given now, because
of the possibility of
A MATERIAL fcHANOR
to-morrow- when it comes up again --as
will be seen by the following:
(en. Young took the floor when the
bill had been adop ted through its nu
merous sections. He said that although
he represented a hill parish, not subject
to inundation, he understood well
enough thatt the improvement of thleo
alluvial lands would Improve their
value, Ithterby decreasing the general
taxation on the uplands. Therefore, he
would have no objection to ageneral tax
of one andti a half mills for levee pur
poses on all property in the State, in
lieu of that which was imposed by theo
act creating the Levee Corqpany, and
offered an amendment.
Mr. Lyons, of East Feliclana, took
occasion to say that, when the amend
ment of Geoneral Young was offered, he
had just begun to prepare a bill provid
ing for the repeal of the threoe mill tax
referred to. The tax could be repealed
and this subsidy to the Levee Company
stopped. By passing such an act, If the
Levee Company so chose to do, they
could begin suit against the State, and
the courts would decide.
Mr. Hill, of Orleans, at this juncture
introduced
AN ADDITIONAL SEf'IFON
providing for an investigation of the
affairs of the Levee Company, which
was referred to the Judiciary Cornlrit
tee, and will be reported upon to-day.
This importfant bill, with the exceltion
mentioned above, meets with the appro
bation of the House, and will probably
lhe put in a shape to-day to allow it to
go to the Senato for concurrence.
The absence of the State Treasurer
from the State House and his persist
once to rremainr at the Packard Inflirma
ry, causedt the ]-outse to concur in thel
Senate bill providing for the appo.rint
mont by the (lovornor of an Assistant
Treasurer, who is vested with all thi
duties and emrolnuments of the Stat.ut
Treasurer, anti will in a short time hI,
ready to receive the moneyw paid to the,
tax collectors.
THE WAT;IIRWO.K5 ILL
came back from the Senate with an I
amendment relating to the perlod with
in which the company shall begin to
supply an additional quantity of water ,
to the city. The amoendment can only
meet the unanimous concurrence or the r
House.
Mr. Jonas introduced In the House a t
bill requiring persons applying to the i
Supreme Court to practice law, to give
evidence of having studied for threo c
years under a respectable attorney at .1
law. The bill does not apply to the 8
University students.
We understand that it is the inten
tion of Mr. Delavigne, liepresentativo
from the Ninth Ward, to make a
ANOTUEIt EFFORTrI
to obtain an exemption from the licennse
tax of persons who sell articles of their
own product and manuftacture, 'ncuh as
gardeners, fl.rists and the like.
In this connection we learn that, the a
poor people who sell flowers at the ca'r
nor of (Canal and Royal streets have, for,
the first time, bostn compelled by the,
city to pay a license o' flive dollars for
the privilege.

that the Governor of the Mtate Is Gen.

The case arose as follows: The prop
