Ihus the taxes will reform the government By
reforming the people. Half Of the newspapers
will be killed by the tax, and those which re-
main will assume higher, moro digniGed and
patriotic tone, or become exceedingly uu.
popular. More than ever the people will in
cline to an independent press, and will no
longer sustain and endorse mere party organs
and fanatioal sheets. The necessities of per-
sonal economy will make the people terribly
in earnest in regard to national economy, and
extremely sensitive in regard to the utterances
Of the press which processes to be the organ of
the people. When people who now wear seve-
raj coats year can afford only one Or two;
when ladies who now wear half dozen silk
dresses year get along nicely with one, and
ladies who have one get alorg nicely
with muslins; when people who now
have dozen dishes for dinner can afford
but simple fare; when hotels are compelled
to give more comfort and less luxury;
when restaurants are obliged to cut down their
bills of fare when those who now ride in cars
and stages prefer to walk when those who
now roll in their own carriages patronize the
cars and stages /; when fine ladies reduce both
the size and the number Of their bonnets and
adorn themselves more with natures roses and
less with jewels and lsces whom persons who
now reside in large houses move into smaller
ones when persons who now live in palatial
mansions exchange brown stone and marble
for plain brick-then every man, woman and
child will have . personal interest in the gov
ernment and in the war, and we may be assured
that the government will be more respected
aud better administered, and tbaxwar more
energetically and viotoriously conducted.
None value q thing so uoach ~ they who pay
dearly for it.
We have no doabt, then, that the effect of
taxation will be most beneficial to the national
character and the national welfare. The Ameri-
cans are very adaptive people. and very sell

we have begged to be taxed, and now we shall
astonish Europe still mere by paying our taxes
as readily and supporting them as easily and
turning them to our own advantage as speedily

and humDugglng the public by means of that
new tangled device to heeco innocent people,
called the Substitute Insurance Company. H
1t is very evident that such companies, even
il reliable, would hinder enlistments because
they compete with the enlistment offices
for recruits, and because they give men
who intend to become recruits an exaggerated
idea Of their importance, and lead them
to wait for the draft in order to sell themselves
- substitutes for enormous sums to wealthy
citizens who may be drafted In France, where
substitute associations are lsgaiized, there are
comparatively no enlistments for the army, and
the draft is annual and universal. Therefore,
even il genuine, such companies should be sup
pressed here until the draft actually begins
The strong probability is, however, that such
companies here are only swindling concerns.
You see their advertisements in the papers
you 60 down 10 one of their Offices; you pay
your one hundred dollars insurance money;
and, after all this, what guarantee have you
that they will find you =. substitute il you are
drafted. What guarantee have you that the
managers Of the associations, having collected
two or three hundred thousand dollars in
premiums, will nOt skedaddls when the draft
begins and leave you in the lurch! What qua
rantee have you that after you are drafted, the
substitute brokers may not laugh at you, jingle
your money in their pockets and defy you to
arrest them, in the brief time you have to ar
range your afairs!. You have no guarantee
whatever.
To prevent ealistments from being hindered
and the public from being swindled, therefore,
we think that Secretary Stanton and Provost
Marshall Kennedy did perfectly right in arrest
ing the substitute brokers. Undoubtedly some
OF these brokers were honest and loyal men,
but probably many others who organized these
substitute insurance companies wero profess
sional swindlers. That even these swindlers
are loyal may be true but this has nothing to
do with the matter, ior q swindler is not neces-
sariiy secessionist In this city, where every
day brings its new roguery, men cannot be too
much upon their guard against such associations
AZ those just suppressed, which, ii genuine, are
illegal and irresponsible, and many oil which,
like the charity balls some time ago, or the gold
pen (ns alluson to the 1ribtne), strawberry
plant (no allnsion to the 1fibeu,s) and other gift
enterprises (n0 allusion 10 the 1,ibuae), are
most probably gotten up only to benefit tho
managers and cheat the public.

Voiunteering and Drafting.

As some appear to think there is but
little difference in these two ways o.
joining Ihearmy, saying, 81 don'lin;ond
to volunteer, but if am draitei | will
co. lei us for a moment holi the mat
ter up and take view Of each side of il.
For example if The war should last six
months longer, the volunteer in our
county will receive the first months pay
in advance (sl9) the recruiting fee (S2)
one fourth of the government bounty
(S25) as soon as mustered, amounting
with the rogulor pay (sl3 per month
to the sum Of sixty FIVE dollars that he
receives before he leaves home, and the
seyenty-dve dollars (the balance of the
Government bounty at his discharge,
aud besides all this (S2O5) he will get
his proportion Of the subscription fund.-
which amounts already to So With the
assurance of having his family provided
for during his absence The volunteer
will in addition to all this receive his
his land bounty of 100 acres Of
land. Now after looking at that side.
turn il over and look at the other. The
man that is forced to go to his country's
defence, and is drafted receives only the
regular militia pay ($ll) per month,
amounting to $66, The one is sure of
S905, the other only 500, less than one
third, and no land bounty. May the
men of Mason Comfy be wise in time,
and volunteer by accepting of the three
dollars so profusely offered instead Of the
proportionate one dollar yielded by a
draft. Take in consideration the land
bounty, the volpnteer will getmgch polc
than three times the Pay lAat the drafte d
man will, and far moro than any volun-
tecr ever received in this war or any
other war in this country. This is the
last call for volunteers for the war
Rally Ireemen, once more around our
glorious flag, anil this hideous rebellion
will ere another sumner be crushed for
