censternaaion Among the Spies

Gonsternaaa0n Among the Spies.gTs sas
The remarkable energy and terrible
rnestnesssof the new Secretary of War,
Stanton, has caused such quaking
among the pro:slatery rebel sympathi-
sers in Office oyer. the patriotic ,yolun-
teers as was neserabefere known His
appointment, we verify believe, will be
the speedy suppression of the rebellion
That he is, by virtue of talent, energy,
and true loyalty, the right man in the
right place, we have no doubt. But, in
addition to this, his position as a life
long Democrat, enables him to do what
a Republican of equal ability could not
do safely. If one of the traitorous crew
we're touched heretofore, perfect howl
was sent up from Washington and was
echoed by every dirty partisan sheet in
the country, that it was the ."Black Re-
publican, Abolition, Administration
striking at Democrats All that is
happily changed. They dare not charge
Stanton with prejudices against Demo
erals. And the country owes him
thousand thanks, and perhaps Its very
existence in the future, that he is show
ing himself infinitely above party. So
much SO that treason dares not come into
his presence and claim immunity for its
crimes, under the cloak of Democracy.

Another Arrest at Washing
il'5 %A'f f+' =fnT1

The notorious Henry Wykoff has
been arrested BY order of Congress for
contempt of gthe House. 1t somehow
has strangely happened for long time,
as all the world knows, that every plan
and purpose of the Administration has
been transmitted to the rebels the mo-
ment it.was determined upon at Wash
ington.! That some person, or persons,
in the most intimate relations with those
high in authority, are guilty of this per-
sistent treason, is universally known,
but as yet, the guilty parties have es-
capped detection. But it is thoug BIT the
arrest Of this man, Wykoff, may lead to
some Developments. 1t is known that
the President refused to bet even his
most intimate friends see his Message
before il. was sent into Congress. Yet,
this Wykof, by some unknown means,
procured copy, and sent it to the N.
Y. Herald for publication, before it was
delivered in Congress. The Congress
sional Committee, appointed to hunt up
the traitors in Office about Washington,
summoned Wykoff before them; and re-
quirsd him to testify. from whom he re-
csiyed this message Of the President SO
sacredly kept from all loyal men. It is
evident that if Congress can get at the
parties who could give to the rebels an
advance copy of this most important
State paper, which was in the sole custody
Of sAs: Rsesiasas kimsef, it would lead
yerynaturally to the detection of of"leaks'
through which the secrets of the other
Departments find their way to the head
quarters of jeff Davis. But Wykof
absolutely refused to testify before the
Committee. The subject was thereupon
brought before the House, and . reselu-
tion passed ordering him into prison un-
til he would answer lie was accord
ingly imprisoned, and them Y. Herald
has thereby. for the present, at least, lest

The Proposed Tax on News
papers, ~

There is a proposition before Con-
gress to levy special tax upon news
papers, of half cent upon each paper
printed. We certainly have NO objec.
tion to paying any amount of tax that
may be necessary to sustain the Govern.
ment, provided it is levied in reason
! ably equitable manner. But surely, no
man in his senses will pretend tha,
there is any equity in such q scheme as
, this.
A newspapers si,nply manufactured

paper, the ink, tho type, the presses,
and pay mechanics for converting the
blank paper into the printed Telegraph
This Telegraph, when SO manufactured
we sell to whoever wants it for little
less than thsee cents. And the wise meu
in Congress propose to make Us pay a
half cent of this to the Government

would be said Of a proposition TO tax
every three cent stick Of candy one hali

property Of the manufactured And the
same principle holds good throug gh
every branch of manuf; cturies. ButEit
don't stop at mechanics and manufactu-
rers we mean the principle--for equity
would require the same principle to be
applied to the merchant and the farmer
What would be thought of PROPOSE:
tion to tax the farmer on his farm, his
stock, and everything else, and then, a.
a special tur, one half cent on every
three cents tco,ah of his produce? Fol
every bushel of wheat sold for dollar

for every bushel of corn or oats ten
cents. for every chicken, one cent a

cents, and SO on for everything produced
Is anybody SO stupid as not to SEQ that
such a scheme of taxation would not be
thought of for moment? But we DEFY

should be SO taxed and everybody else

But the sshemeswould necessarily de

ready been crushed by the natural eff
