One OF the great objections to the Tar
Bill now before Congrsss, Ia thai IL ere.
atss legion Of tax assassorsa and lax coll
lsasors, when all this might be avoided
by single provision authorizing the as
sessEneuE aud collection Of the Federal
taxes to be done By the State and county
ofhceFs who assesa and collect State,
County aud Other taxes, f.
We have in lawa asy hundred eoun-
ties, and on al average there are sixteen
townships in q county. Nov il the fed
eral taxes should be assessed and collect
ed by separate class OF officers, we shall
have In this State at least SIXTEEN
HUNDRED FEDERAL TAX ASSES
suR.S and SIXTEEN HUNDRED MORE
FEDERAL TAX COLLECTORS, making
ga increase for this State alone Of THREE
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED moxe
ol6cers than ths State haa at present.
The lowest pay of taasa olfscers 10 pat at
two dollars day, 20 our readers and the
people of the State aud all the States
have al opportunity TO bring their Arish-
metical knowledge into aeQnisition to
ascertain what the cost will be Of asses
sing and collecting the Federal MaE t&x
Tha greater part Of this cost CAD be and
ought to be, the people should say MUST
BE avoided by authorizing the Federal
tax to be assessed and collected by the
ordinary Assessors and collectors OF State
and county Revenue. The politicians in
Congress want to create tens of thousands
of new officers for the greedy eormorants
who have not yet had chance TO feast on
the carcass of the Government, bat this
nefarious design should be throtEled at
its birth by the people who will have to
bear burdens enormous enough without
supeTading these which are unnecessary
TO their already too heavy load.
We suggest that petitions be sent to
Congress Immediately demonstrating ip
sturdy terms against she creation Of these
new tax 0tboaFs, and that Congress he
told plainly that the people will not bear
unnecessary burdena. Congress has al
ready well nigh destroyed the country by
refusing year ago to paas o simple res
oluGion declaraterg Of the spirit Of tbs
Constitution. That body should nos be
permitted to search hyeas.l like among the
ruins which it has been O means of max
ing, for whatever might b. left prey
which escape destruction. II Congress
cannot or viii not mitigate the evils it
has helped to bring upon ths country, let
ii not aggravate them 20 aneh degree as
TO become intolerable and anendurabie,

We exposed Yesterday eeTtAin absnrsli-
ties al the tax bill which the Committee
Of Ways and Means have reported 10 the
House at Washington. We had not in.
yeasigassd, and felt In no haste TO invasti-
gate, tho provisions Of tho bill especially
affecting ourselves, because il struck IA
thai In respect 10 80 universal an interest
IS newspapers the commiftse bad observed
common fairness and justice and deceney
in assessing the taxes. Some Of our co.
tenporaries, however, have not been so
conhding as ourselves, but hare analysed
the bill a. relating to themselves, one Of
whose analysis 10 "a foIlsws:
"n il were net for the imputasioa Of
speaking from motives Of personal inter-
est We should object TO some of the vari-
Gus modes of taxing newspapers proposed
by the bill. Ii is right that ths preprie-
tors Of public journals should bear their
part In the general contribution 70 the
needs OF the treasury, but II may De doubt
cd whether it 10 good policy to make news-
papers dear, the effect Of which 10 TO take
them out OF the hands of the poorer cIass.
By the eject of tbe bill the publisher of
. newspaper is taxed on his saco9as and
~ other toays like everybody else. Then
comes the taxes which beisr particularly
on his vocation. He is taxed on the paper
he employs three mills q pound, which
they say is about fifteen cents q reaua. He
is next taxed three per cent. on the Ualus
Of all the HssaapGpsrs he prints. In the
third place be il taxed hve per cent. On
all the money he receives for ddrerfiSs-
naents. In the fourth place he is charged
d oasy Of thrae cents on al messages sent
or received by telegraph. In the ffth
place be Is required to pay tax Of three
per. cent, on the value Of the printers
iTak used By him. Here ara Ave distinct
ways in which the publisher Of naxs-
paper, after paving bis proportion Of the
general taxes like other persons, is taxed
on his special branch Of business. We
are nos sure that these are all, fur the tax
bill Is surprisingly mutifarioas, aud we
have not bad time 10 examine ii as closely
Us it requires. We doubt whether any
other branch Of business is made to con-
tribute in SO many difereat ways and so
largely"
With moFniug papers the article of gas
light is 40 ineonsiderabAe item; our own
gas bills are in the vioinsty of one huu-
dred dollars peg month and gas Is taxed
heavily. =
Without having critically examined
the bill, we venture the assertion that
the taxes upon the newspapers are vast
ty heavier than upon any ether interest
whatever.
Under their iaaietion one bali of all the
newspapers Ia the eouatry uld not sur
give.
They would not be ia the nature OF tax
- for Tevemae, but taxes for the suppress
In of news papers.
If the bill throughout is as crude aud
'El-contrised as in the swo respects which
We have exposed, the committee who
| have framed it bad better suppress their
banttinZ as soon aB possible, and thu
/ whole subject should be handed over TO
some other COMMITTEES who have some
