THE COTTON TAX. •
Twelve Millions Involved in a Ten
nessee Suit.
The case of Andrew Hamilton and
others vs. John R. Dillin, appealed
from the United States Circuit Court
for the Middle District of Tennessee,
and set for argument in the United
States Supreme Court on Monday next,
is one of much interest and importance.
Dillin was acting Surveyor of Customs
at Nashville during 1863 and 1864, and
collected taxes at the rate of four cents
• per pound on the raw cotton of Hamil
ton & Cos. When shipped, the cotton
amounted to the sum of $281,000, the
said cotton being purchased under the
United States trade regulations, and
the tax. being exacted by the Surveyor
pursuant to the trade regulations of
the Treasury Department under act
July 13,1861. The suit was brought
originally against Dillin In the Circuit
Court of Davidson county, Tenn., and
was thence transferred to the Federal
Court, where Judgment was found for
defendant.
The court ruled that the act of July,
1861, conferred the power to make the
trado regulations and exact the tax,
and, whether the act of July, 1861, con
ferred such power or not, the action of
the Secretary in making the regula
tions, aud of the Surveyor in exacting
the tax, were made valid by the act of
J uly 2, 1864. The plaintiffs excepted
to botli rulings, and also contended, if
such acts be construed as so inteiding,
that tl ey were, to that extent, uncon*
stitutional. There is a large array of
counsel for the plaintiff, namely : *Mr.
H. H. Harrison, of Tennessee; T. D.
Lincoln, of Cincinnati; Edward Jordan,
of New York ; late United States Solici
tor; C. Cole, of California, and the Hon.
William Evarts, of New York, who
fignred in the impeachment trial of
Andrew Johnson. The Attorney Gen
eral appears for the Government. It
is estimated that the tax on cotton col
lected under these regulations amounts
to as much as twelve million of dollars,
and that if the present suit goes against
the Government the principle decided
will cover the whole sum. Some assert
that a New Y'ork ring has been formed,
and that the claims have been gobbled
up, but the proof for the assertion,
however, probably is not yet furnished.

FRED GRANT’S WEDDING.
The Bride and Her Family-How
the Lovers Met by Chance —The
Usual Way.
Chicago, October 15,1874.
The marriage of Lieutenant Colonel
Frederick Grant, eldest son of Ulysses
8. Grant, President of the United
States, with Ida, second daughter of
Mr. Henry H. Honore, of this city, will
be solemnized on Tuesday next, at the
residence of the bride’s father. The
above sentence announces a matrimo
nial alliance that has created consider
able excitement in fashionable circles
in this city. Chicago people, as a rule,
are contented that the eldest son of the
President has selected a bride from
among them, and, on the whole, they
are pleased with his choice, as Miss Ida
Honore is one of the most elegant and
accomplished young ladies in the West,
and will reflect credit on the city in
which she has been brought up. There
are, of course, numberless mammas
that give their ostrich plumes and
corkscrew ringlets an indignant toss
when questioned on the subject,
and say they think the young man
might have done better. They have
all some fault to find in the bride, and
will tell you, with the sweetest smile,
she would have been pretty but for
that cast in her left eye ; her dentist
told me confidentially that half her
teeth are false; Mrs. Shoddy’s corset
maker works for the family, and told
her the other day that it takes a deal
of wadding to give her any shape ; I
have been told privately by an intimate
friend of the family that all her hair is
false; we all feel so sorry for that
young man’s sainted mother, as it is
well known the young lady has a tern-1
per of her own, &c., to the end of tho
chapter. Of course every young lady
in Chicago cannot be furnished with a
son of a President, ready made to or
der, and consequently fond mamas look
jealously on the young woman who
has captured this prize and left Mary
Jane and Matilda —who, between you
and me, will never see twenty-five
again—to angle another season in the
matrimonial sea. The unbiased (those
untrammelled by domestic cherubim
of their own) all appear to be of the
opinion that the match is appropriate
in every respect, and that Lieutenant
Colonel Fred Grant is very lucky to
win such a charming girl.
THE BRIDE,
Miss Ida Honore, belongs to an old
Southern family that emigrated to
Chicago in 1854, and although born in
Louisville, Ky., arrived here in her
mother’s arms and attired in the lon
gest kind of baby wearing apparel.—
Her ancestors, as the name would in
dicate, were Parisians, and somewhere
about 1790 her great-grandfather left
his native land, coming to this country,
settled first in Baltimore, but finally
made his home in Louisville, Ky. Some
fifty or sixty years ago her grandfather
married a Miss Lockwood, the daugh
ter of a captain Lockwood, of the regu
lar army, who was then serving at Fort
Dearborn, on the site of this city. Mr.
Henry H. Honore, the father of the
bride, was born in Louisville, Ky., and
there married Miss Carr, of Oldham
county, Kentucky. Mr. Honore was
engaged for some years in the hard
ware trade, doing business in his na
tive city, where ho was known as a
shrewd, energetic man, and when, in
1854, a large number of Kentuckians
moved to the new city of Chicago, he
sold out his business and came along
with them, bringing his wife, two sons
and two daughters with' him. The
family now consists of the eldest son,
Mr. Adrian Honore, Mrs. Potter Palmer
(the eldest daughter), Miss Ida Honore
and two sons, younger.
When Mr. Honore first arrived in
Chicago he, like other Kentuckians,
launched into large speculations in real
estate, and represented the company in
the firm of Sharp, Smith & Cos. In a
short time, however, Sharp retired, and
the firm became Honore, Bradley &
Cos., and afterward H. H. Honore & Cos.
Tho panic of 1857 came, and during the
extraordinary tightness of the money
market that succeeded the panic, Mr.
Honore displayed his indomitable
pluck in straitened circumstances, as
he succeeded iu holding his real estate
during the hard times, and when busi
ness improved and property advanced
in value, was a wealthy man. In the
meantime his two daughters, Bertha
and Ida, were sent to the Convent of
the Visitation, Georgetown, D. C.,
where they received a finished educa
tion. In 1869 the eldest daughter, Ber
tha, finished her studies and returned
homo, aud in August of the following
year was married to Mr. Potter Pal
mer, one of the leading business men
of the West.
THE GREAT FIRE
of 1871 struck Mr. Honore, sweeping
away the work of years in a few short
hours ; but he proved equal to tho oc
casion, as before two days had elapsed
he had telegraphed to Cleveland for
the stone with wfiich ho built the blocks
of buildings known as Honore Blocks,
and now leased to the government for
the use of the Post Office Department.
Mr. Honore had buildings erected on
over 1,200 feet front within nine months
after the fire. It was such mbn as
Potter, Palmer and Henry H. Honore
that cheered the people of Chicago
through the terrible business prostra
tion that followed the fire of 1871. Mr.
Honore’s private residence on Michi
gan avenue was destroyed in that fire
and with it many valuable family por
traits and old family relics. Miss Ida
Honore graduated from the Convent
of the visitation iu 1871, but returned
for another year in order to finish her
musical and vocal education.
THE MEETING.
For the past fow years Mrs. Potter
Palmer, assisted by unlimited wealth,
a finishod education and a fascinating
beauty, has led the best society iu this
Western metropolis, and in the Spring
of 1873 gave a small dinner party to
Gen. Sheridan and staff. The dinner
was given at their Summer residence,
on Vincennes avenue and Forty-sixth
street, but which has since been pur
chased from Mr. Palmer by Mr. Honore.
It was not a large party, consisting
simply of Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer,
Miss Irene Rucker, Miss Louise Ruck
er, Miss Mary Hall, Miss Ida Honore,
Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Forsyth, Lieut.
Col. Fred Grant and Mr. Adrian Ho
nore. It was at this dinner that Col.
Grant was first introduced to Miss Ida
Honore. During the succeeding win
ter the Colonel was very devoted in his
attentions, and in the Spring of the
present year, before he joined Gen.
Custer’s expedition, proposed and was
accepted, It was entirely une affaire
du coeur, as no fond parents were con
sulted in the matter until the contract
ing parties had decided for themselves.

How Dry it Was. —An honest old
faimer from the country gave his re
collections of the late hot spell as fol
lows :
“ It was so dry we couldn’t spare wa
ter to put in our whiskey. The grass
was so dry that every time the wind
blew it flew around like so much ashes.
There wasn’t a tear shed at a funeral
for a month. Tho sun dried up all the
cattle, aud burnt off the hair till they
looked like Mexican dogs, and the
sheep all like poodle puppies, they
shrank up so. Wo had to soak all our
hogs to make ’em hold swill, and if any
cattle were killed in the morning,
they’d be dried beef at dark. The
woods dried up so that the farmers
chopped seasoned timber all through
August, and there ain’t a match through
all tho country—in fact, no wedding
since the widow Glenn married old Ba
ker, three months ago. What few
grasshoppers are left are all skin and
legs, and I didn’t hear a teakettle sing
for six weeks. We ate our potatoes
baked, they being all ready, and we
couldn’t spare water to boil ’em. All
tho red-headed girls were afraid to stir
out of the houses in daylight, and I
tell you I was afraid the devil had
moved out of his old home aud set
tled down with us for lifo. Why we
had to haul water all summer to keep
the ferry running and—say, it’s gettin’
dry ; let’s take suthin.”

Love’s Young Dream.
The vagaries of lovers are curious,
aud remarks an exchango :
There are more ways than one for a
discarded lover to console himself.—
Out in Michigan, the other day, for in
stance, a young man who had become
enamored of a young widow’s daughter
was refused her hand, whereupon, not
being willing to give up without at
least a relic of remembrance of tho
fair one, he visited the clothes line and
purloined some miscellaneous articles
of apparel belonging to her, which he
stuffed and hung up in his bedroom,
making a full effigial representation of
his adored by adding a stuffed head
and feet. It was found by officers who
were searching for the lost appa-el,
who heartlessly disemboweled it aud
carried home tho stolen garments.

A Good One. —We have private but
reliable information that Jack Averett,
the dusky civil rights champion who
has gone to the Chattanooga “ Conven
tion,” raised tho necessary funds for
the expedition in a novel but charac
teristic manner. He was not appointed
or authorized to go, by any power,
sacred or profane ; but, it is said, stated
to his church that Gen. Grant had ap
pointed him to represent Lynchburg,
and demanded that the money neces
sary to defray his expenses should be
made up. It was done, and the im
mortal Jack pocketed the " spondulics ”
and struck a bee-line for Chattanooga.

The Christian A{re,
a weekly Journal of 1G pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unsectarian, a record
of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families throughout the enuntry just
such a metropolitan papor as they 'need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D’ D. f
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the
ability, that tiisname is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation in asserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, we shall publish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predecessor.
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture by Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from different parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repro
duction of some other discourse from tho
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year, and to each sub
scriber is given the groat Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in all parts of the world, and in all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of tho drawing
room.
Wo want only active Agents, those who
will do the work thoroughly. We givo ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to wasto our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a Strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as niuch money, in theso times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
and give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circular’s, eto.
sent to any address.
