The United Bute* Court has recently, in the caw of Ward against the State of Maryland, denied the right of any State to lory a diserim- uating tax against non-resident trader*. The Supreme Court of Ohio, bare, in a similar eaae, made the same denial, and the Diatriel Court to Washington has followed suit. Ciucaoo.—Sixty thousand load* of refuse material from the fire hare been thrown into [..v.

SaasToa Tacvarru. talked like a good man and a patriot in response to the taunt* of Mor ton, that he waa unfaithful to hi* party topreae- ing toreatigationa into official corruption.

Now, we utterly disclaim any such Illiberal sentiment*, and cannot be reaponaible for all that may find its way into those oolomna through the news agent* of the ooooern. In an enterprise of such magnitude, many bead* and many hand* are required to run tho machinery, and occaaionally it ia not surprising that a eog should jump out of gear and disturb the equilibrium. But we are al ways ready to make the amende eqniuble. The ancient and choaen people of God have figured too largely to the annala of Hacred and profane history, to be regarded with contumely or disrespect. In tba English peerage and cab inet ; in the armies and council* of tho Confed eracy, and to all the monetary transactions of the world, they occupy prominent and conspic uous position*. Many of our best families and moat useful cltiaen* also, are of Hebrew ex traction ; and far be it from us to say anght against our Jewish citixens.

Verdant and lovely in the season of the sing ing birds and budding flowers, it ia hardly leas attractive and beautiful, in the hyperborean aspect whioh now greets the vision. We never pass within bearing of the plash of that fountain, or aoan the miniature lake and grass-bordered flowerbeds of “the Spring Gar den,” without thanking the tasty author of this sylvan soane for the happiness he has conferred without money and without price. Such men are publio benefactors. The Moulton Kutertnlniuent. We are not suffloiently au fait to the vocab ulary of the art divine whioh tames the serpent and charms the savage, to enter into any detail of the brilliant musical treat at Balaton’s Hall but night. The Ait* of Maoon greeted the fair eantatrioe with a perfeot ovation. Not a word too mnoh has been written of Mrs. Moulton. Her voioe ia aa clear aa the matutinal thrill of of the meadow lark, while its compass ia al most unlimited. The modulations, too, rivaled the flexibility of the ventriloquist, and for ■weeUuee were never surpassed by the bewitch, ing strains of the JEolian harp. Beautiful in parson there is something inexpressibly bewitch ing in the audio and gtaoeful bearing of this gifted lady. Hor male associate* also, Messrs.

This ia deairabl* that the remits of the year’s work may be at tit, and that plans for future opera tions ^y be more intelligently devised and faithfully executed.

In expo*ing their mutual rasoaUtie* to the gaz* of the world, Bowen and Hoott are proba bly doing the only good they ever did to their lima, and th* only good they are capable of do- ing. Let the whole race of Radio* 1 amiamrie*. plea, familiars, skinners, and plunderers, who tare bean sent Sooth to organize and lead the blacks in raids upon the Southern taxpayer* nail each other by the ears aa scare-crows to their leas guilty confederate* and adherent*. It cannot fail to have a good moral effect on th# deluded negro politician* who have been created, corrupted, misled and deceived by such men, to see them charge and prove upon eaob other that all their truested devotion to the political and social equality of tho raoea. had no other sug gestion or foundation than a settled purpose to uae the negroes aa eatopaw* in the business of public robbery;—to aee them tear from «acb others' faoea the mask of generous brotherhood, irrespective .if color, race or previous condi tion, and stand self-expoaed a band of thieves, tiara, mischief makers and social incendiaries, whose only object has been to glut their greed to the spoliation of the whites and negroes, too, wherever it wa# possible, and to secrete and carry off the public plunder aa their subservient African tool* presented it to their dutch. Bowen, in the report of his committee of in vestigation makes abort work of Scott s defen sive pleas. Ha proves by figures that S00U has put on tho market *6,314,000 in South Car olina bonds not authorized in any way by law, and an Ohio paper hailing from Scott's stamp ing ground, sacs that this adventurer wont into the war In 1861, not worth one dollar, but sinoe he has been Governor of South Carolina, has bought property in Ohio valued by the hundred thousand. Thia and all tho other T*at amount# of plun der carried off by these scurry adventurers will not be altogether loat if the example shall teach the negroes, if they will go into politics, to go into them on their own aooount, and to turn a deaf ear to the wretched and depraved white intriguant* who oome sneaking around them with the whine of equality and brother hood. If the negroes prefer to steal, let them steal on their own acoount and apend the money in the country where they may possible get a second chance at it. But at any rate, let them take the offices themselves, if they can; and rely upon it, that, be aa dishoneat aa they may, they will not do *0 mnoh harm aa these white fuglemen on the universal equality basis. The Seating ofSenntor Norwood, Aa waa remarked yesterday, we regard thia act of justice as a happy augury for the future, and eongratnlate the people of Georgia, that for the first time within a deeade of years, the legiti mate voioe of their noble State will be heard upon the floors of the Federal Senate. Nor will the aonnd be feeble or uncertain. Mr. Norwood is possessed of eminent talents, end moreover is a Christian gentleman of un blemished reputation, and unswerving integrity. The writer has known him as an intimate friend for many years, and would trust him aa Boon aa any man in Georgia. Neser fear that he will bow to the Baal of Radicalism, or fail to throw himself in the breach when tho righto of his native State arc invaded. Mr. Norwood possesses a dear and discrimina ting Intellect, and ia a fluent and agreeable speaker. His advent in the Senate will form a startling episode to the dull routine of Federal wrong and usurpation.

Vance advising him to return his credential* aa Sena tor to the North Carolina Legislature, and al low them to select some other man who coutd get the seat, oommends the pluck of that Leg islature in “stopping the bail of tyranny at the first hop”—thst is, by electing Gov. Vance.— That teat stopping the ball with a vengeance. Tyranny, with ample power to enforce its edict*, decreed that only a speciflo class of men should hold offioe in its domain*. Thia waa the ball they set rolling. Straightway a body of legislators selected as their repre tentative in a high station one of these very proscribed class. This was stopping the ball, according to the Snn. That kind of stoppage works worse than a boomerang. If wears any judge of such things.

Governor Wnlkrr of Vir*lnlo-IIow He 1.001* •«, mid How bo *0 be a nil sen or Virginia. The Cincinnati Commercial of a late date has a letter from Richmond which we mutilate to the following extent: To see a man who had been so fortunate in welding discordant elements together, and bringing peace to a “State lately in rebellion, I called upon the Governor in his Executive office. I found him to be what all those who know him say he is—a very handsome man— tall, graoefnl, and commanding, without a pound too much flesh or a pound too little; aa straight aa an arrow, and symmetrical in body and limb; a fine head, oovered with hair gray almost to whiteness; a clear, bluish-gray eye, beaming geniality and good humor; a finely chiselled nose and month; a moustache jet black, and skin as fair and white aa that of a woman a. Such ia a brief ontline of the personal appear- anoe of Gilbert C. Walker, modern Governor of the ancient Dominion. . . He ia a man of wonderful tact, and that, added to his handsome address snd genial man ners, is among the Cannes of his popularity. In the coarse of conversation be told me bow it happened that he came to Virginia. “It shows/’ said he, •‘upon what trivial incidents a ■nan's whole destiny may hang. About the time of the dese of the war I was practicing law to Chicago. My brother in California wrote me to take the deposition of a man here in Virginia in a certain oaee. After some hesitation I con sented, and oame to Norfolk. While in Chicago I had been troubled with catarrh, but after spending a few days in Norfolk I notioed to my surprise thst my disease began to get better. The longer I stayed to the State, the better I got, but upon returning to Chicago all my old symp toms came back, and I was aa bad off aa ever. Solely on account of the disease, and to get rid of it, I moved to Norfolk about the rime of the dose of the wor. But for having to take the deposition of a man in Virginia in a California law-suit, I should not now have been here. It was all accidental.” Andy Johnson ou lire Times. In a reoent intervirw with a Herald reporter the Ex-President lets himself loose upon tho besetting sin of the times, in form and manner following: THE •OrTHXEM BOBBIES. ^ “I read your letter from Georgia,” continued Mr. Johnson, “giving the reason why Bollock ran away. It all looked reasonable enough. He and his gang had robbed until they could not get hold of another dollar, and then run like thieves to die night. It will be so in other of the Southern States. Th* whole oountry seems 'to have gone crazy to a grab after money. Cor ruption stalks unchecked to every department of the Government. Even the church ia not exempt. In New York I see there have been frands to the Methodist Book Concern. Money devoted to the spread of the gospel is stolen and invested to fast hones. Most lamentable of all is THE UTCXED EXAMPLE we have in the highest officer of the Govern ment. When be devotee hi* energies to the aooumnlation e f wealth and fast hones, lesser lights will be influenced by the exempts, and although they may not get as much aa the great hone jockey and present-taker, they will get aa near aa possible. It ia reported that even our Minister to England has been prosti tuting hia high office to mercenary purposes.

Bnt Mr. Hill should speak out and put the matter beyond doubt: Heretofore It was thought that Judge HeCay was the “garnish of brama” for Gov.

The report of his intimacy with the Governor ia, nodonbt, well founded. He seems to lead a moat isolated life here, and goes about as a ff«" with the ban of hia brethren and of society npon him.

The Atlanta San of yesterday says: A bust or James Setles.—Thursday ovening McKenrie Nichols, of Dado, arrived here with a warrant for the arrest of Captain Skyles, u ho ia oalled, who figured eo conspicuously in tho lata unlawful arrests of the Dade county priso ners. He is charged with false imprisonment Yesterday morning he was arrested by Captain G. Wait Anderson. Wo learn that he waived an examination; that a gentleman who was counsel for the Dade oounty prisoners vouched for his appearance when called for, whereupon he was allowed to go out of the custody of the Sheriff. We were told that he went to the bar racks snd claimed military protection, to avoid investigation and trial before the civil tribunals, but do not know how true thia report is. The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Wednesday, has the following account of t reoent robbery on a railway train: Robbery oh the Rail.—Bobbery on a railway seems to be a favorite occupation just at pres ent On yesterday there arrived in this city from Atlanta three parties, Messrs. — Madison, John Kelly and James A. Hook. They were on their way to South Oarolina, in which State they reside, and Btated that they were robbed on Sunday night last, between Huntsville. Alaba ma, and Atlanta. They were in the second-class car, and sitting next to them were four men and a woman, who got on the train at Huntsville. Soon sf terwrada fts Carolinians went to sleep and did not wake np for several hours. When they woke np Mr. Madison fonnd that he had been robbed of all the money he had, Mr, Kelly had lost sixty two dollars, and Mr. Hook forty. The woman and men before alluded to bad been put off for unbecoming oondnefc. The victims think thst this crowd got their money. Fortunately Mr. Kelly had money enough elsewhere on his person to pay his own and friends' traveling ex penses. It is thought that the guilty parties n* ay come this way, to quest of fresh plunder.

We find the followihg in the Bainbridge Democrat, of Wednesday: A Neoeo Man Mubdebxd bt Radical Kd- xlcx, and ms Child Accidentally Bushed to Death.—Last Thursday night, the 14th instant, in this county, ou Spring Creek, and near Sam O'Neal's plantation, a most brutal attack was mads on a negro man named Jordan Zekc, during which he was terribly wounded in the bowels with bnckshot The parties, it seems, were disguised, and made off after committing the crime. On Satnrday night last, at 12 o'clock, the negro died, and on Sunday night a post mortem examination and a coroner’s inqneat were held under Coroner Hahn, Dr. W. J. Har rell conducting the former. The post mortem examination discovered the cause of Jordan Zeke'a death to be the gun shot wound in the bowels, and the evidenoe rendered before the jury plainly pointed ont one William Hatcher, a white man, as e perpetrator of the mnrder, and a white man named Williams, aa bis acces sory. Hatcher and Williams are both mem bers of the Republican party, so there will pro bably be very little said about the affair in the Radical newspaper*. Sad to relate, while Zske Jordan was lying helpless, almost in the em brace of death, his little son was accidentally burned to death before hia eyes.
