As Queen Victoria to-day be-
gins the fortiet h year of her reign
it may be interest to some of
our readers to be reminded that
she has now attained a very
high rank on the roll of,(our
Kings for length of reign. Hav-
ing lately passed Henry the VIII
a,ud Henry VI., she now stands
fifth in order, being still junior
or inferior only^to Elizabeth, and
t hree long Thirds—Edward, Hen
ry and George. Of our eaily
English, or anti-Norman Kings,
as Ethel red the Unready, but
his 38 years are already exceed-
ed by our present sovereign’s 30
years. Elizabeth’s reign, from
the death of Mary, November 17,
1558, to her own death, March
24,1603, lasted 44 years and 126
days: so Victoria has to reign 5
.years and 126 days beyond to
day before she will equal her
great foreruuuer. Then will re-
main ahead only Edward III.,
59 years and nearly 5 months;
Henry III 56 years and 19 days;
Gfidrge III, 59 years and tour
months. Bat of ccfiiree these
long reigns look short by..the 72
years of Louis XIV of France.
Probably not two successive
Kings of any other Country feign
ed over so long si space of time
between them as Louis the XIV
and Louis the XV, who from
1.643 to 1774 made up together
131 years, dr an average rather
of more than 65 years per reign.
How long will it be before France
enjoys of suffers 131 consecu-
tive years of rule under two per-
sons, or even two forms of gov-
ern in Cut!—Denison Daily News

The Robbers Caught.
A Bad Trade.
A couple of gentlemen of our
j town called round, at the shop,
I kept by the man, whom the boys
| call “ArkanSaw?” the other day
! and asked lor ten cents worth of
| candy. It was given them, but
; their taste suddenly changed,
j and they swapped their candy
| back to“Arfeansaw”f'or peanuts,
After eating the nUtS they start-
ed off, when “Arkansaw”instant-
ly demanded pay for his goods.
The gentlemen seemed surprised
and told him that they had giv-
eri liiiti the candy for his pea-
nuts, “But,” replied “Arkan
Saw,”“I want pay lor my candy.”
“Why you fool” they answered,
“liavn’t you got your candy
yet?” This was a “settler” to
“Arkansaw?” and after scratch-
ing bis head he gave it up. As
they started off he said “gentle-
men that was a fair trade and
yori’Ye acted honest about it,but
I’ll just be darned if it don’t
seem to Me that I’m ou teti cents
some how Or other.”
D. II. Mitchell, of Leaven-
worth, Kas., had $19,350 to his
credit in a bank in that city on
the 28th of February. On that
day, to avoid paying tax on it,
: he drew the money in the shape
of U. S. legal-tender notes from!
the bank, on his check, placed
the notes in an envelope, sealed
it up, and deposited it in the
vault of the bank as a special
deposit for safe keeping. Three
days afterwards he withdrew
the package and redeposited the
notes as an ordinary credit.
The County Commissioners
heard of the transaction, and ad-
ded $9,000 to his assessment as
a penalty, and he was taxed on
the increased amount. He filed
a bill of equity against the Com-
missioners ,to‘ restrain the col-
lection of the tax, alleging that,-
as his bank balance had been con-
verted into U. S. notes which
are riot taxable, and were held
in that form on the day his prop-
rety was listed, he could not be
taxed on them. The Superior
Court of. Kansas dismissed the
hill, for the reason that & court,
of justice sitting as a, court of
equity will not lend its aid for
the accomplishment of any such
purposes as escaping taxation.
The case went to the U. S. Su-
preme Court, and that tribunal
affirms the decision of the Corirt
below. It says: “United States
notes are exempt Irom taxation
by or under State or municipal
authority, bnt a court of equity
will ndt knowingly use its pow-
er to proffidte any such scheme
as the plaintiff devised to escape
his proportionate share of the
burdens of taxation.”

Radical Rascality.
As one among the numberless
evidences of the utter venality
of the Radical-press, and of their
lack of legitimate material to
use against Mr. Tilden, we will
cite the fact that for weeks after
the St. Louis convention, and up
to this time, for aught we knriw,
the Cincinnati Gazette, one of
the leading Radical papers in
the West, and in excellent stand-
ing with the party of high moral
ideas, kept at the head of its ed-
itorial column this paragraph,
with the name of Mr, Augfist
Belmont, of New York, as the
author ? “Those who claim that
Tilden is Unassailable do not
know him, or, if they do, then
they are quite as dishonest as he
is. He has been counsel for all
the broken down' corporations
with which New York has beeu
afflicted for a long term of years,
and out of them he has not come
with clean hands.”
A friend wrote to Mr. Bel-
mont, asking him if he had ever
given expression to such a sen-
timent. He replied in indignant
terms that he had not; that Mr.
Tilden was a personal friend of
his, and for whose honesty, sa-
gacity and patriotism, he has the
very highest regard. Yet, even
after this letter of emphatic de-
nial, the Gazette continued to
flaunt the brazen lie.
Equally infamous with the
above is the publication in the
Radical press, (the organ ot
Shreveport of course re-produ-
cing it,) of a pretended speech of
—The following is a fair syn-
opsis of the: bill allowing fees to’
magistrates, sheriffs and Orinsta-
blns in committing courts *
Where justices sit as commit-
ting magistrates they shall be
allowed such fees as are fixed by
law, and 20 cents of each 10O
words for writing down the vol-
untary statement of the defend-
ant and for taking down the tes-
timony, to be paifi by defendant,
upon conviction for an offense
less than a felony, as in cases of
appeal from justices’ courts. If
convicted of a felony, such jus-
tice shall be entitled to and re-
ceive only 10 cents for each 100
words ot such evidence and vol-
nutaiy Statement, not to exceed
inanf one'case for all his fees
more than $5 ; to be paid by the
State upon the comptroller’s
warrant, to be issued upon the
bill of costs, duly sworn to by
such justice of the peace, arid
attested by the clerk of thri court
before which the case was final-
ly tried.-
The sheriff or constable who
may arrest the defendant, and
attend the court during the in-
vestigation, shall be allowed the
sarrie fees allowed them for sim-
ilar services in cases tried in the
justices’ court, to be paid by the
defendant or the state, as the
case may be, in like manner as
prescribed in the preceeding
section, upon the conviction of
the defendant.
