Important Internal Revenue Decision.—
The following le'.ter from Mr. Rollins, the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, explains
itself:
Treasury Department,
Office of Internal Revenue,
Washington, June 17, 1868.
Sir:—In reply to the questions contained
in your letter of the 19th ultimo, that the
only sa'es made by wholesale declares which
are not required to be returned for tax as
though made at the dealer’s place of busi
ness, are those sales made through other
“wholesale dealers” on commission. Under
the provisious of the law, as construed by
this office, all sales made for wholesale deal
ers, by brokers, on commission, are required
to be returned for tax as though made by the
dealer at his stated place of business.
Very respectfully,
E. A. Rollins, Commissioner.

The Dill Murder.—The following are‘the
names of the persons confined at the Citadel,
iu Charleston, upon suspicion of being con
nected with the Dill murder : Emanuel Parker,
W, E. Parker, Dr. John A. Glenn, Gardiner
Kelley, William Kelley, Henry Boykin, A. A.
Boykin, Burrell Albert, (whites) and George
Bowen (colored.)
Grant and Butler.—Grant and Butler, by
“the intercession of friends,’’ have buried the
hatchet. They dined together for the first time
Friday, and report says were very merry over
their wine. Colfax was the go-between. The
idea is that Butler is to have a foreign mission
if Grant is elected, and, in the event of the
refusal of the court to which he may be as
signed, to receive him, which is likely, he is to
be made Collector of New York. All this
counting of chickens is absurd, but is believed
to be entirely reliable.
A Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazette relates the following : One
of the disfranchised Boys in Bine, a sol
dier of the 12th infantry, now stationed in
Washington city, was complaining very bit
terly the other day of haviDg been deprived
of his vote by the Radicals. He said his poor
old mother, who had dandled him on her
knee, would be sorely grieved to learn that
he bad shed his blood only that the lazy ne
groes might be elevated above him. He
then commenced criticising Grant as a Gen
eral, when a comrade interropted, “but
friend, Grant whipped Lee.” “Faith and he
did, under the inspiring song of * We’re
coming, Father Abraham, with three bun
dred thousand more.’ When yet a boy my
father told me a swarm of bees could kill a
horse.” Silence reigned in Warsaw.
The Washington correspondent of the
Worcester Spy says hespeakB what he knows
■when he says that ever since the passage of
the Reconstruction acts, Mr. Chase has di
rectly employed all possible agencies to get
the Republican party (until recent events),
and more especially tbe new vote of the
*c5DUtiC "committed to him. One of ihe sufr
rosa difficulties against which the Congres
sional Republican Committee has had to con
tend with in the management of the South
ern campaigns, has been the untiring energy
of Mr. Chase’s friends to use its machinery
for the advancement of their favorite. Tbe

South, not canvass for any special Presiden
tial candidate. The correspondent then de
tails some of the methods which were used,
with the previous expresa sanction of Judge
Chase, to obtain his nomination at Chicago,
and, failing in that, to secure the negro vote
of the South for him as an independent can
didate.
The Conservative soldiers and sailors of
Connecticut was called upon to send dele
gates to f^State Convention, in New Haven,
ou Wednesday, 24th instant, to appoint
twelve delegates to the National Convention.
The call says:
“For our comrades who so freely yielded
up their live ou every battle-held of the re
bellion, as well as for ourselves, their surviv
ors, we owe to the dominant party in Con
gress a respectful though decided protest
against its wicked, partisan and wholly re
vengeful spirit of legislation! and should de
mand, as we have a right to do, as a merited
reward for faithful service in the held, that
every State shall be fully represented in the
National Senate and House of Represent
atives by loyal Senators and members of
Congress of their own choosing—each State
guaranteed the right to regulate its own do
mestic affairs, including tbe privilege of suf
frage, in its own way; and that the Union
shall be a Republic of coequal States,.the
only constitutional Union and the only Gov
ernment that can give prosperity and happi
ness to our people, or preserve and perpetu-
tionanty.”
SOUTH IN THE NEW YORK
tONVESTlOV.
The following extract from ft private letter
written to the editor of the Augusta Chroni
cle by one of the ablest and most distin
guished and experienced statesmen of Penn
sylvania, will be read with interest. It will
be seen, says the Chronicle, that the writer
completely ignores the idea that the pre
tended State Governments fastened upon the
people of the South by the Reconstruction
acts of Congress, are legal or binding upon
us, and that it will become tbe duty of the
Federal Government to relieve us from their
intolerable exactions and degrading disfran
chisements. He is also clearly of the opinion
that the Southern delegates to the New York
Convention should enter that body clothed
with powers, as full, aud privileges as com
plete as those from the Northern States.
But to the extract:
I believe the delegates from the South
ou^ht to present themselves and take part
in the National Convention as Representa
tives. not of the Reconstructed States, but
of the original States as they existed ante
bdtum. I would ignore Reconstruction ub
t >rly. I believe all that legislation to be null
and void, and that the judicial tribunals will,
some day, declare it so.”
The Chronicle gives another extract from
a letter received from one of the ablest Dem
ocratic members of the present Congress,
an acknowledged leader of the House of
Representatives for several yeara, who has
been a strong, firm, able and consistent Dem
ocrat, always acting upon principle, through
good and evil report, and who is now un
willing to surrender principle for availability.
The writer says:
T am decidedly of the opinion that the
delegates Irom the Southern States ought to
go into the Convention, and take part from
the beginning to the end, aidiDg, by their
counsel, in bringing the Convention to a ju
dicious result.
'I agree with you fully in your choice.
Pendleton is my first choice. At the same
time I would not have the Southern delt
gates so act in the Convention as to force, by
their action, a nomination upon the Conven
tion. I think it would be unwise to giye to
the Radicals the opportunity to charge that
our nomination was made by ‘Southern re
bels,’as they will not fail to style all those
who act with the Northern Democracy.
“Grant can be beaten, if we can harmo
niously agree upon our candidates—upon
frank, short and plainly-to be-understood
platlorm. I wish we might make the ticket
‘Pendleton and Hancock.’ ”
These opinions from leading Northern
Democrats are encouraging, and give aasu
ranee not only of harmony in the Conven
tion, but that its deliberations will result in
the adoption of a platform of sound National
Democratic principles, and the selection ol
a nominee who will command the cordial
support of the patriotic Conservative men of
all parties and all sections of the Union.
Ia it Incipient Rebellion !
[From the Mobile Tribune ]
We learn from a gentleman just from Ten
nessee that the Democracy of that State in
tend going armed to the polls in the coming
election to enforce, if necessary, their right
to vote in spite of the disfranchising acts of
Brownlow’s mongrel legislature.
While it would not probably be necessary
for the white men of this State to adopt such
measures we ought to be prepared to cast
our votes just as we have always done,
without acknowledging the existence of the
mongrel government that will be in opera
tion at the time. Let the polls be opened all
over the State in accordance with the lawful
State constitution, aud tbe returns placed iu
the hands of the proper authority. Every
white man should vote without regard to the
attempt of lawless registrars to disfranchise
him.
If the military or the mongrel State gov
ernment breaks up such an arrangement it
will be all the better for the cause.
It is the creed of the Democratic party
that all the legislation of the liump Congress
in regard to the reconstruction of the South
ern Slates is unconstitutional, and therefore
to be dic'ared null and void the moment ihe
Democracy gets into power. In case ot
disputed election at the North the fact that
the Democratic voters of the South had been
driven from the polls would add greatly to
the complication.
Oat-Flanked Again.
We notice in a Macon paper the statement
that passenger trains are now to run
through from Montgomery to Macon and
Savannah, without change or stoppage, and
that freight trains will also be run through
without breaking bulk, while between Mont
gomery and Atlanta there will be two
changes of cars.
While tbe President and Directors have
been quietly sitting in their office parlor
sucking their fingers and playing the part of
a mutual admiration society, the Central
Railroad has gone to work, after rebuilding
and making new the whole of the line of
their road, at a cost of over a million of dol
lars, and have bought up a sufficient amount
4>f the stock of the Montgomery and West
Point Road to enable them to get complete
control of it. As soon as this little pui-
chasiDg job is accomplished, we find the
line from Montgomery to Columbus made
the main trunk, and the portion which leads
to West Point made a branch of the Savan
nah line.
If the stock which the Georgia Railroad
owns in the Atlanta and LaGrange Railroad
—nearly a half a million of dollars—had
been sold, and the proceeds appropriated to
the purchase of the Montgomery and West
Point stock, the Central Railroad would
never have been able to get absolute control
of that important connection. But, while
we are fast asleep, dreaming about our past
importance, a rival road, wide-awake to the
importance of continued activity and en
ergy, steps in and bears off the prize. Sic

It i9 an old ruse in polities in -propofiiig a
candidate of more than doubtful pretensions,
and even of absolute vices and disqualifica
tions, to claim for him the most absolute and
unquestionable characteristics, which every
body knows he does not possess, and to
which they have net, in fact, the shadow of
claim. Oh what other ground can the high
commeudations of Chief Justice Chaee for
boldness, independence and fearlessness in the
discharge of his official duties be attributed.
Have we no knowledge of his official mis
conduct in the eyes of the nation and of the
world within the past six months, of his base
truckling to the Radical Congress in the de
crees of the Supreme Court, either averted,
postponed or denied for their benefit ? If
we have such short memories let us call upon
our late virtuous and upright Governor Jen
kins, who was turned out of office and the
State revenues from our railroad seized and
misappropriated by arbitrary military pow
er, to prevent which the Governor applied to
the Chief Justice for an inunction to re
strain the wrong, and, as in all cases of ln-
jUDOtion, sought a speedy interposition of
the law for that purpose. Did this bold, in
dependent and fearless Judge do any meas
ure of his duty? Oa the contrary, after
baffling subterfuges and unreasonable de
lays, and unheard of practices iu &Dy Court
of Justice, did he not defer the case till De
cember next, and leave the funds of tbe
State at the will of the carpet-bag and soala-
wag Constitutional tinkers to pay themselves?
Was hia c inrse of conduct any more hon
est and independent in the McArdle case
from Mississippi, who invoked the Chief Jus
tice to release him from the imprisoned ven
geance of a military despot, whose conduct
he had examined in his paper, and called
him by his right name ? Compelled to mike
a decree in the case, the promulgation of it
was delayed till next December, lest the
principles of the Constitution thus evoked,
and which he could not controvert before
his Associate Justices, might bo rendered
available to shield aod protect other victims
ot military tyranny, either in actual or in
tended custody.
Did he not dery Dr. Mudd the right of
Habeas Corpus, to deliver bim from the de
cr-eeB of a military judicial murderous tribu
nal, which he and all his Associates on the
bench had declared to be unconstitutional
and illegal ?
And last, though not least, (and bat ger-
main to many other cases that could be enu
merated wherein he trailed the ermine made
illustrious by Jay, Marshall and Taney, in

Tbe Eataw Prisoner*—Their—Arrival In
Sew Orleans.
[From the New Orleans Picayune, 21st. j
We had the pleasure of an interview yes
terday with two of the unfortunate gentle
men known to a sympathizing public as the
Eutaw prisoners, who, with their campanions
in misfortune, have just arrived here from
Galveston. Their sufferings are known on
ly in part to the public. They were arrested
on a frivolous charge, hurried Irom their
homes to the Dry Tortugas—the Cayenne of
Amerioa—guarded like desperate malefac
tors, and treated with indignities by petty
despots both en route and at tbe Tortugas.
Graciously pardoned and released, they were
put ashore at Key West to seek their homes
as best they could, unprovided with money
or transportation. Generous friends paid
their passage to Galveston, where they were
received with true Texan hospitality, and
funds provided for their transportation to
our city by the steamship Harlan, Captain
Lewis. We need not tell our readers how
they were entertained aboard the Harlan.
Messrs. C. A. Whitney & Co., the agentB of
the Morgan Line of Steamships, not only
returned the “prisoners” their passage mo
ney, but tendered them the hospitalities of
the Harlan while they remained in our city,
and free passage to Mobile. They have ac
cepted the latter generous offer, and leave
by the Mobile boat this afternoon; but
the hospitalities of the Harlan were declined,
and the City Hotel selected as their abiding
place while in our city.
The following are the names of these vic
tims of military despotism-. Thos. W. Rob
erts, James A. Steele, F. H. Monday, J.
Cullen, W. M. Pittigrew, S. Strayhom aod
H. L, White.
What are his titles to this splendid record
It is easy to prove that he has none, but, on
the contrary, that he exercised no iudepend
ence, no fearlessness and no uprightness
whatever, and so far a? he was concerned,
and so far as the precedent established in
that case, he dishonored and debased and
degraded his high office, for which he him
self justly merits impeachment and deposi
tion.
The Constitution provides that iu all im
peachments before the Senate “the Chief
Justice shall preside." What was the rea
son for this provision ? Was it that the Sen
ators (in which there was no provision that
there should at any time be a single lawyer
to expound the law of the cases to be tried
to his co-Senators) should expound the law
to the Chief Justice; or was it not that the
Chief Justice, the highest legal dignitary of
the country, should expound the law to the
Senators; and not only so, was it not his
duty aud his prerogative too, like all other
Judges presiding iu Courts, to have charged
the Senators ou the law, at Ihe conclusion of
ihe arguments of the counsel of the accused
and of the Managers of the House of Rep
resentatives ? Lawyers may, as they gener
ally do on all legal questions, hold different
opinions on these points. But men of com
mon sense, unaccustomed to oauiislryand
sophistry, whether lawyers or not, can have
but one opinion ou so plaia a question.
How then did Chief Justice Chase, pre
sidiog on the impeachment, allow the Sen
ators to overrule his legal decisions as they
did, and to exc ude evidence essential to the
accused, to which he had decided, it was
legal to admits. Was that a manifestation of
his independence and uprightness ? and with
Messrs. Bailer and Bingham and Sumner,
et id omne genus, meo&c ng him both before
and alter, with rules and orders for his gov
ernment, was it an exhibition of his courage
and firmness, iu the faiibful discharge of the
duties of his high positions.
Foi tunately for the country, tbe infamy in
the origin, conduct and conclusion of tbe
impeachment trial, will justly sink it so low
in pub ic detestation, that none but the
meanest and basest of mankind, will ever
refer to any portion of it as a precedent to
be followed, otherwise the criDging coward
ly deportment of the Chief J ustice, might
be transmitted to posterity, fraught with all
tbe evil of his official baseness for an ex
ample.
Among the alterations in the Constitu
lion, the conduct of Chief Justice Chase, so
much lu contrast of that of all his predeces
sors, would enjoin one, by which the three
departments of the Government should be
more absolutely aud permanently separated
by rendering any of the members of any one
of them ineligible to office in either of the
other two. Once a Judge, always a Judge—
once a Legislator, always a Legislator—and
once an Executive officer, always m that
department.
The Radical Congress still more strongly
demands such provision against its many
usurpations. When the legislature has in
due form enacted a law, it should follow it
no farther; it then becomes the right and
duty of the executive to carry it into effect.
In doing so, the judicial sanction may be ne
ccssary, and either the persons interested # or
the executive may inyqjcaJfc* decree, "if" the
executive fail to perform his duty, let him be
impeached, which is the only legitimate in
terposition thejlegislative branch of the gov
ernment should ever make.
Each department thus confined to the
proper liue of its constitutional duties,
would operate harmoniously and beneficial
ly, and constitnte one government, and each
by long and constant experience in the line
of its sole duties, wpuld be the better qnaili-
fied to discharge them, and neither be in
clined to interfere with the other. And we
would be no longer annoyed and injured,
and disgraced and degraded by a Chief Jus
tice preaching negro equality and African
suffrage, in order to make himself the Chief
Magistrate of the nation.
The little giant said, “damn Squatter Sov
ereignty; it has rained my prospects.” Tbe
Chief Justice may also damn negro equality
as the stone that will grind bim to powder,
despite all his truckling, and despite all the
false pretences of his employees*

The Savannah Gas Light Company, wishing to sup
ply Gas to its patrons on as cheap terms as may be
consistent with s fair return for the capital and labor
applied in its manufacture, and believing that the
active business which may be reasonably expected
during the coming winter in this city, will cause an
increased demand; and farther, that a diminution in
price will induco many to burn Qas that have hitherto
had recourse to other means of illumination, which
are more dangerous and less cleanly and convenient:
and that the consequent increase will lessen the cost
of manufacture, and thus justify the Company in
making a reduction in price.
Tuorefore, it has been determined that from and
after the FIRST OF NOVEMBER next, consumers
will be supplied at the rate of
FIVE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER THOU
SAND CUBIC FEET,
and that a further reduction of Fifty Cents per Thou
sand Feet will be made to all who shall pay their bills
at thia office within FIVE DAYS after presentation.
