influences that now find such easy approach
to all the subordinate agencies of our Gov
ernment. It is on this comparative exemp
tion from temptation, that our trust in a
Presidential veto is founded. For our part,
we had j'ust as soon have the people lapse
into a pure Democracy at once, and assem
ble at the ring of the bell in the market
place to decide questions of public weal, as
to leave our federal legislation entirely to
the two Houses of Congress. And wc would
levy a tax of not exceeding one half of one
per ecu’, upon the value of all (he property ”
in Atlanta, “of whatever kind, which is or
may be subject to taxation by the laws of
this State,” and repealing “all laws and
parts of laws militating against this Act.”
Now, I-contend that this last act contains
an express prohibition to tax any property
more than one half of one per cent. The
expression-—not exceeding one half of one
per cent.—must clearly means that the tax
infinitely prefer to see the vote of the federal j (U1 property altogether shall not exceed that
legislature taken by Slates, allowing in both
branches an equal vote to each S r .ate, than
to see the powers of the numerical majority
increased one jot or tittle. M c may be
wrong in saying that our system of taxation
by customs, and the exclusion of an cqttr. 1
vote between the States in the House o:
Representatives, were the two great blun
ders made in framing our Constitution: but
if wo are, the practical workings of our
Federal system do not prove it. As things
are going in these days, we look for “wis
dom, moderation ard justice, ’ in our cuun-
e, though the Cuuncil may, perhaps, ap
propriate the sum collected to the various
objects contemplated by the charter, accord
ing to their discretion.
The powers of corporate bodies are usu
ally arranged into three classes: First.—
Those powers which are necessarily inci
dental to tho very existence of the corpora
tion, without any express legal provision.—
This class, however, has become, in these
days, practically obsolete, inasmuch as it is
now customary to specify all these powers
n tho charter. Hence we may confine our
oils, in no inverse ratio to tho number of the ! (inquiries to the second and third classes of
men that are called on by the people to dis
pense these virtues.
Prentice of the Louisville Journal,
Messrs. Davis Thompson, and F. P. Red
mond are both out in cards, which wc find
in the Memphis Appeal, and they say things
of the old Editorial Joker that arc tart and
hard to take. Prentice said of Thompson, j
that he had been very inveterate against ;
him, “but he (Thompson) was recently in- ,
dieted at Little R ick for a penitentiary of- •
fence, and if he had not precipitately lied j
he would, probably, ere this have received !
his sentence.” It made us laugh on leading ;
Thompson’s explanation of this charge, to j
see that tho "penitentiary” offence was ti;<- i
hearing a note from a friend of Thompson |
to Prentice, which Prentice refused on a>- j
count of “conscientious scruples.” This, to j
our minds, is one of the must finished in ,
stances of what logicians call “suppie-sii j
veri,” and a heautifid illustration of the \
fact that a man may lie barely by telling •
the naked truth, lie e Prentice stripped the j
fair Goddess too naked altogether.
Redmond says: " That to utter a s’,an jet ;
on the base paltroon who was ridden on n ,
rail for defamation of females was a task
which even the father of lies liiiiueli »:ou!<i .
not accomplish.” What a pity it is ihut wc
are compelled to construe fine vcir-c? by the
light of the characters that compose them.
To read some tilings that Prentice has wri - '
ten in the last twenty years, one would think !
that he would have been mightily out ot '
plat e, straddling a sharp rail that was mev- j
jtig about with the ends of it resting on two j
men’s shoulders.
Boston, Fell. £0.—The hearing of the pe- |
t'tions for the removal of Judge Luring |
was held before the Legislature committee j
this ufertioon. It was contended by the I
counsel for the petitioners, J. Webb. Jr., j
Wendell Phillips and C. M. Ellis, that it i
was necessary under the constitution to al
lege misconduct in office as cause for remcv \

upon the demand of public opinion and the !
interests of the community. Lorings dis- j

FROM THE CRIMEA.
Telegraphic dispatches to the 13th of Jan

the French batteries had received orders to
be ready and re-open their fire on the city,
and for some days the Russians had ceased
to make sorties.
It is said the preparations for the assault
are commenced.
The Russian army was in want of sup
plies.
In sorties made on the 23d great los3 was
sustained by the French.
The reputed rumor of a mutiny among
the Zoaves is not credited. It is said they
demanded a retreat from tho Crimea.

She murmered “As You Like It.”
After a “Love Chase” long and hard,
She probably relented,
And to “Tho Follies of a Night,”
Right willingly consented.

mstke the be a t of all pills— one which should liavt !
none of the objections, but all the advantages, of j
every other. This has been attempted here, ant* I
with what success we would respectfully submit tc ;
the public decision. It has been unfortunate foi |
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative j
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow- '
eis. This is not. Many of them produce so much
griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pais,
unless it arise from a previously existing obstruc
tion er derangement in the bowels. Being purely |
vegetable, no h.trm can arise from their use in any j
quantity ; but it is better that any medicine should 1
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their j
use in the several diseases to which thev are ap- j
piic ible are given on the box. Among the com- i
plaints which have been speedily cured by them, we j
mav mention liver Complaint, in its various forms !
?i Jaundice. Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Ap- j
wtitc, Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache, i
iiil-'ous Fever. Fever and Agile, Pain in the Side j
ipd l.iiius; for, in truth, all these are hut the con- j
seqtietice of diseased action in the liver. As an '
■ peric.nt, they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos-
tness. Piles, Colic. Dysentery, Humors. Scrof-
tr.-l Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body.
''leers and impurity of ti c blood ; in short, any
md everv case where a purgative is required.
They hare also produced some singularly suc
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy. Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, aud Side. They should he freely J
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood j
md prepare the system for the change of seasons, j
Au occasional dose stimulates the stomach and ;
Dowels into healthy action, and restores the appe- !
tite and vigor. They purify the blond, and, by their j
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno- j
v; te tin- strength n! rbe bmlv. and restore the j
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism j
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even ;
though no serious derangement exists; but un- ,
necessary dosing should never be carried too far, j
as every purgative medicine reduces Hie strength, |
when taken to execs-. The thousand cases in which |
a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but i DENTAL
they suggest themselves to the reason of every I
nody; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purpose than any tiling which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need ol a
cathartic medicine.
