The share of the President and Mem.
bEfh Of the Cabinet In the Income


From the National Inselligtncet.I
The tax payers naturally begin to Inquire
what proportion each one is to bear OF the
twenty millions direct tax about to be imposed
under the recent act Of Congress. Taking it
for granted that but little Ii any Of it will be
gathered from the disloyal States, we may SIM
plify the matter by supposing that it will ope
rate upon only about tWenty millions of peo-
pie. Yhe result, therefore, will be about one
dcl!ar for each man, woman and child In the
States which stand by the Union. This is q
mere triae when compared With the ends to
be attained BY the burden. L will fall pf1nei-
pal1y upon these best able to bear it, audupon
articles OF luxury. It is true that the indirect
tax upon les, sugar and coffee touches the
humble as well as the wealthy, but tho effect
will be to induce curtan Of other expenses
in matters not essential to either health OF
comfort. The President Of the Uuited States
will psy eeven hundred and twenty-si1 dollars,
and each member Of the Cabinet two hundred
and sixteen dollars. Clerks of the fret-elass
($1 ,2cO( will pay twelve dollars Per annum,
ard the $2, 200 clerks forty-two dollars.

At this point most Of thag.ragglera were in

was Gesiroua Of forming STRONG rear guard,

While at Washington we met W.
r. Hepburn, Esq, Of Marshal County,
who was engaged in the prosecution
of the Swamp Land Claims Of several
of the counties of this State. He had
met with great success and it was set
tied that he would soon adjust all the
claims that had been confided to him.
Others have tried to settle these
claims, but without success. "Pete "
is the first man in Iowa who has sue
ceeded in threading his way into the
inner recesses of the General Land
Department, where these claims have
SO long reposed that their very exist

Hostile Demonstrations at Washington.

Tho Dubuque Herald calls for an
anti-civil-war meeting in this city, and
iusinuatcs that the military operations
at Washington are designed to pro.
yoke a collision with the seceders.
It speaks of "the military terrorism
inaugurated at Washington" as some
thing which ought to be frowned
down! 1t even has the effrontcry to
call upon Union men to get up a
meeting to protest against the move
ments at the National Capital !
Now it is we'll known that Ben.
McCulloch has been recruiting troops
for some time, with the intention of
Selling the Capital and transferring it
to the hands of jeff. Davis. The
President is advised of this movement
of the traitors, and because he is pre-
pairing to protect the City of Washing
ton from such an assault, he is, for
sooth, inaugurating system of mill
tary terrorism! No patriot, no true
Union man, can breathe such senti-
ments as are now rank in the columns
Of our contemporary.
"Our motto" says the Herald,
"should be, no fraternal blood shed
no civil war-but peace and concilia-
tion.' The policy of the present Ad-
ministration was and still is peace
and Cancellation. For one whole
month the President looked calmly
over the field, and did nothing but
hold out the olive branch to the rebels
They, meantime, kept moving stadily
forward in their acts of high-handed
outrage, holding on to stolen govern
ment property threatening to take
more and plotting to capture the
National Capital. And now, because
the President is preparing to protect
the forts of the Government from the
assaults of rebel invaders; to feed
our furnishing soldiers, and perhaps
to save defenceless people on the from
tiers of Texas from merciless savages,
the military operations at Washington
are denounced in the Democratic jour
nal Of this city, and meeting to pro-
test against them is suggested T!
Mr.. Lincoln has no desire to see
fraternal blood shed; ;" no desire for
"civil war" He has made no move
ment that should create rupture !;
but he will defend the Capital he
will surrender no forts at the dictation
of rebels neither will he permit any
soldiers who are protecting the gov
eminent property to go hungry. He
will give them bread /; and if he has
to give others ball, it will he in rccip-
rocation Of favors. And bastard is
the man. North or South, who will not
uphold him in such a policy.-Dubuqne

NEGRO STAMPEDE Chicago Times saws
that III fugitive negroes left that city for
Canada on Sunday night. Their white SYM
pathizers had chartered special train of four
cars for them. 1t was expected another stam-
pede would occur the next day These move
ments are in consequence Of the rendition of
some fugitives, recently. The private detec-
tive, Hays, who had betrayed a number of fu-
gitive slaves and thus secured their arrest and
return, has learned that the bitter sometimes
is bitten. He was himself fugitive slave,
and has since been arrested as such 1t is
supposed there will be no objection in Chicago
to remand him to slavery

DiScredited Banks Of Illinois and Wis.

The brokers have fixed the rate of discount
on all of the discredited hanks, except the Mer-
chants and Drovers' Bank at Joliet, at 90 per
cent. The Merchants and Drovers' Bank is
30 per cent. discount Business will be brisk
with the brokers' In times like these sort
ofpanlc seizes upon the community. and every
one strives to get rid of the money he holds,
at the best rate he can get. Goodness never is
exercised in money panic 1t is unlike pan
les in anything else. When any article of
merchandise suddenly falls in price, holders
generally are 10th to sell. They hold on for
an improvement in price, and business in that
particular line becomes stagnant. Not so,
however, in the matter of currency, for when
there is depression, the market becomes
active, and the brokers reap harvest. When
that have a market value a mere depression
in that value should not lead the holder of the
bills to rush heedlessly into the hands Of the
brokers. As general thing, those who are
in hurry to sell make greater sacrifices than
thise who wait little. Under the old bank
ing system, where the bill-holders had no Sc
curity beyond that of any other creditor, when
a bank became dscredited those who sold first
generally did the best, for under that system
the failure of bank generally resulted in a
total loss to the biil-holder, and matters
almost always grew worse upon investigation.
In this case, the redemption of the currency
being dependent upon the conversion of stocks
into money for that purpose, every one has
the means of judging of the value of the cur.
rency. Better not be in too great hurry to |
