We observe in the recent proceedings Of the

introduced. looking TO inquiries as to the expe-
sisuey Of taxing the incomes Of extortioners aud
others receiving large profits. With the Au-
ousta coasttaaraaiist we agree, that At fFst
sight the thing looks plausible, and perhaps
even just, and is, at al events, most captivating

the matter due consideration. We think now

eonable. Trade and commeyce viii govern
themselves. No exception should be made, ex-
cert as TO the amount necessary TO support the
average Of families. To 90 tais may in some
cases work against some interests but upon the
whole. it viii be acquiesced in. Give US q tax
law Of general effect, and it viii be submitted to.
As the Journal referred 10 says, q a law Of the
kind Droposed would be most difficult Of proper
