The Federal Tax Biii---Swarm
h. ell of New OaieerS. HssF sI

The Boston Post says that one Of
the most Objectionable features in the
proposed new tax bill is the provision
for the appointment of collectors. Tc
have the country covered with these
men as the frogs covered Egypt will
be most Objectionable burden. The
expense will be enormous, and as du-
rable as the necessity for taxation. II
the whole duty of collection was left
entirely with the States, the assess
ments would be paid more cheerfully,
the exaction seem less onerous, an i'm.
mense expense saved, and a horde Of
unpopular ofice-holders avoided. We
hope this subject will be carefully con-
sidered when the bill comes under dis.
custom, and that some way will be de-
vised to save us from the sight of the
ugly countenances of a smarm of un-
necessary ofice-holding tax-gatherers.

Brilliant Democratic Victory I'm
Rochester,, N. ". iD,J

The city of Rochester, New York,
which, at the Presidential election in
1860, gave Lincoln nearly a thousand
majority over Douglas, Bell and Breck-
inriege combined, has just elected q
Democratic Mayor by forty-two of a
majority, eight Democratic Aldermen
out of twelve, and seven Supervisors
out of twelve. The whole city govern
ment has passed into the hands of the
Democrats. The voters of Rochester
are not prepared to second the scheme
of President Lincoln to saddle the
North with an immense debt, in order
to give the negro slave of the South
his freedom.-Cincinna Enquirer.
