The Tax Law.

Ii is plain TO see that the tax law will
sooner or later effect a social revolution in
this country. Hitherto we nave paid nc
taxes and have lived more e~xtravagantly
than any ether people on the face of the
earth. We spent twice us much for rent.
food, servants, and clothing, as people do
in the dearest country in Europe. 1t has
cost. hitherto, nearly twice as much to
live in New York as in London, and near
" three times as much as in Paris or
Berlin; simply because we have all of Us
established an expensive standard of liv-
ing and adhere 10 it We have agreed,
for instance, that ordinary dwelling hous-
es in New York shall be worth from $500
to $500 n year: that u wives shall dress
in S25 or $50 dresses; that our servants
shall be PAID from S. to SIS a month
These prices are of course utterly ficti-
.tious, but as every n agrees to them,
they are the established rule.
The tax law will have some effect upon
these prices. When n man who realizes
an income of $4,000 a year 10y manufaetur-
ing $1,000 worth of goods finds that
under this law. he has to pay over to the
Government a sum of $500, he will object
to paying as much rs usual for rent, dry
goods. and servants wages. When a
lawyer whose income is 5000 finds he
must pay over 1882 every year to the
General Government besides city, county,
and State tax and license-he will begin
to inquire about the feasibility Of econo
mics. When a farmer who makes $1,000
a year discovers that he is expected to
pay $40 every May-day L the Govern
ment. he, in like manner, will at least in
vestigate the grand question of cutting
down expenses.
In this light the tax law will do US
a great deal of good. We in this country
at least the new generation-have grown
up in utter ignorance of and with some
contempt for economy. Every body ex-
poets TO make a great fortune in a short
time, and no one thinks of saving money.
Oar fathers lived on fewer hundreds than
their sons require thousands, and when
they made more than they needed, saved
the balance. The unexampled prosperi-
-ty which this country has derived from
the settlement of the fertile prairies of the
West, from the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia. and FROM the industry in the old
en- States, have blinded most of our peo-
pie to the first principles of political econ
omy-namely that wealth is far oftener
the product of economy than of enter
prise. The tax occurs OPPORTUNITY to
correct this defect. A couple of years
experience viii work a decided change
in cur habits. Under the law, the Gov
eminent will just take from prosperous
men the sum they have been accustomed
to ~squander, or to expend in unnecessary
comforts or luxuries; and the result will
necessarily be that lavish and needless
expenditures will be curtailed.-HdrpsT's

Amazing Development of Horrible
Treason.

A respectable and perfectly honorable
citizen of Plain township, in this county,
having a son drafted, passed Friday night
in a bunk, in the barracks at Camp Mans
field. Outside the tent. a groop ofmilitia-
men, from Wayne, Crawford and other
counties talked without restraint. The
minds of these soldiers had been poisoned
by the butternut traitors.
From the conversation he Overhes rd,
he ascertained that these men understood,
and believed it to be a general agreement
amongthe men opposed to the war, through
out the Northern States. that there
should be a universal uprising and rebel
lion against the Government, the draft
being the pretext for inaugurating open
hostilities.
Farther than that. these men had been
induced to believe that their interest and
those of the rebels were precisely identi-
cal: in other words, that they were only
rebels in allegiance. and that by their pro
posed general fare-up, they would so dis
tract the Federal army, that their breth-
ern of the South could, by sharp decisive
onset. take possession ofthe Government,
They had swore yehemently at their com
rades who had failed to stand bravely up
to the agreement; and had they all done
so they declared that. what they called
the democrat party" might have had
undisputed control, and their opponent:
would he made to feel a terrible revenge
for supposed grievances.-Sdrk County

Kentucky War Items.

In the recent raid upon Lexington we
killed from 5 to Is rebels and wounded u,
among whom was Major Samuel Morgan,
of Nashville, cousin to John, who was
shot through the neck and will die. We
captured and paroled 1870.
John Morgan left 1awrenceburg y~ester-

pursued by Dumont's forces. which capt

Three or four hundred Of Morgan's men

a Federal train of 81 wagons, 81 of which
were loaded. They carried oil the wagons
and those having charge Of the train, ex-

and coming towards Louisville.
Morgan then went towards B~lrdstown.
and about daylight captured another fed

How the Rebels were Piloted
through Pennsylvania.

A IIarrisburgh correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press mentions the following
facts 10 show how the Confederates were
so ~skillfully plotted through Pennsylva-
mia: II appears now that the men who
piloted The rebels so safely through our
State during the recent raid were Penn
sylvanians, Breckenridge Democrats, and
notorious rascals. Their names are Logan.
Wilson. Shines and Brian. The latter is
believed to be the man who a~pprehended
Cook. of John Browns Army of Inva-
sion" These traitors have beer in Frank
lin county for seventeen years. where
they have prosrered, and being infinitely
acquainted with every road and by-path
of the region, could easily pioneer the
rebels in any direction. 1t is said that
they sought an interview with Hampton.
and cheerfully volunteered their services.
Gen. j. 7. b. Stuart was for a long time
in command of Carlisle Barracks when in
the service of the United States. and
several OF his field officers were stationed
there at different times, so that these
rebels were probably as familiar with the
country through which they passed re-
Gently as they were with fine topography
of their own States.

GRADUATES OF WEST PoINT ~ Il UNION
AND REBEL ARMIES.-The Mobile Evening
News, in a paragraph about West Point
graduates, has the following:
From Il list before US of the West
Point graduates, who are officers in the
armies of the United States and Confed-
crate States, we find in the o. S. army
seventeen major generals and twenty-lour
brigadier generals; in the Confederate
States army, five generals besides A. 5.
Johnston, killed at Shiloh thirteen ma
ior generals, forty-one brigadier generals.
From the list, which ends with 1915, 1t
appears we have sixty-four generals from
West Point in ourarmy, while the United
States have but forty-one. 1t was no idle
or unmeaning boast of President Davis
that he had pick and choice of the Off
GERS of the old army
The actual number of West Pointers
who hold generals commission in u ar
is one hundred and twenty-five, thir-
ty of whom are major generals and nine
ty-two brigadier generals, so that in the
matter of West Point generals we out
number the rebels by fifty-eight.
