Taxation I'm the Future.
The Chicago Times saws:

The Chicago Times says:
Hitherto the most onerous taxes have
besn for State. county, and local purpos-
es. The taxes for Federal uses have been
imperceptible. because they we're indirect.
This will not be 80 hereafter. To meet
the future permanent wants Of the Gov
ernment, the Secretary Of the Treasury
estimates that at least two hundred and
ten millions Of dollars will be necessary,
only forty millions of which will be from
indirect taxes. The remaining one hun
dred and seventy millions must be raised
by direct taxes. and it is proposed that
this shall be done by levy of one per
cent on all real and personal property and
six per cent. on domestic manufactures
In addition. it is suggested that. for con
tingencies. poll tax of one dolar On each
voter shall be levied Taxes will, altogeth-
er. be something to think of in the fu
ture.'

how fortunate it will have turned out that

when our rebellion broke out, to hasten TO
foreign powers and beg of them to permit

The Michigan Senator Elect.

The Hon. j. NJ Howard, the newly
elected Senator from Michigan. upon being
nominated by the republican Legislative
caucus, addressed the body, in part, as
follows:
"Should the two houses of the Legisla.
tion see fit 10 ratify your action, elevating
me to the Senate of the United States, |
shall ever strive to do my duty faithfully,
unllinchingly and truly. What that duty
may be we cannot foresee. We cannot
penetrate the future and see what will be the
appropriate line Of action to pursue We
are engaged in a struggle the like of which
has never before been presented on this
continent. nor hardly. indeed. in the world
We are struggling for national existence,
and if the American people still possess
tor their country that courage, patriotism
and abiding love for which they have ever
been famed, they will have come out tri
umphantly and saved the Ark of Cove
nant which good God has given them.
[ Applause. If that good ship. the Con-
stitution of the United States. which has
weathered the storms and tempests of over
eighty years, making our nation at once
the glory and the envy of the world. be
destined to be destroyed, desire that my
bones may go TO the bottom with her."
Applause.
The fact that Mr.. Howard did not, in
his brief speech. trot out the 'nigger,
but did mention the constitution of the
United States, created some feeling among
the ultra republicans.

ANOTHER HUMBUG.

The Indiana Journal lately published
an expose of what it declared to be Sc
cret political organization, which had for
is object the mutual protection Of its
mambers in opposition to the payment OF
.he war tax, &c. Although the SO called
exposition carried on its face the most con-
clusivs evidence of falsity and humbug
gerry, nearly all the republican papers
have copied the article. The utter impos-
sibility of carrying out the objects of such
n society as the Journal speaks of. should
be sufficient evidence for candid minds to
reject the whole thing as an arrant hum
bug. The Journal has been called upon
for The names of those at the head OF the
society. any of the members. but has
thus far failed TO give them thustacitly ad-
mitting its statement to be false.
The N. C. Republican, whose editor
probably hailed This expose with JOY. as it
is of a piece with that which he generally
publishes. promises to copy the article
this week, and on il made the following
comments:
John G. Davis, who has gone TO Rich.
mond or some mission, and one Of whose
speeches Nc Donald published few
months since, is said TO be the High Priest
of the NJ. P. S. Every traitor in the North
is Democrat
To prove how false the above statement
is. together with similar one made by
the Journal, it is only necessary to pub
lish the following card from Mr.. Davis:
