My attention has been called to tclc-
graph dispatch from Washington, contained
In late copy of the New York Tribune, to
the effect, in substance, that: dispatches had
been received at the sfice Of the Indian
Bureau in Washington, from Fort Larned,
stating that several thousand Indians were
congrcgating in that vicinity with hostile in
tentions; that 3dr. Commissioner Dole had
quieted them By the distribution Of $500, ,00o,
and that be urges the Secretary Of War to al
low these Indians to be mustered into the
military service Of the Government, as the
only means by which they could be controlled.
It is somewhat curious that the press, usually
so sharp On the scent Of sham or specnla
ton, has not smelt the very fagacious Ingun

THE INCOME TAX LAW.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Lew
is, proposes various amendments to the in
terval revenue Law, with the view of max
ing it yield more revenue. 1t seems that
the. amount derived is vastly below the
estimates made when the law was passed
It was then predicted that it would yield
one hundred and fifty millions, whereas it
does not produce more than half that
amount It is necessary that one hundred
and twenty-five millions, at the very low
est, shall be derived from internal taxes, in
order to maintain the credit Of the nation
on sound footing.
~. There is one change that ought to be
made in the income tax part Of the law.
As It now stands, if a man returns one dol
lar less than $4,000 Of profits, he is taxed
thereon three cents less than $500; but If
he shall return dollar more than $4,000.
he is taxed $500,05. The difference Of two
dollars in his income increases his taxes
$200,o2. The effect Of this unjust and in
equitable clause is to tempt men to commit
frauds On the revenue by making false re-
turns
The five per cent should be levied On the
excess over $40, coo, and not on the whole
$4,000, in which case people would be
.saa,sficd- ;. VIC would proposetAe following
schedule for income tax in lieu Of the pres
ent one, bclieving that it would yield twice
as much revenue, and I've satisfactory to the
great body Of the people. Men do not OBJ
ject 10 paying money to help put down the
rebellion to save the Union, but they
want the burden laid equitably and justly.
- rst-Tax the excess Of all incomes
over 5000 and under $8, 900 three per cent.
Second, tax incomes exceeding $4,000 on
the ezccss Of that sum four per cent up to
$4,000, and five per cent on all excess
above that sum. For example, fa mans
income he $500, Lis tax should be three
per cent. ON $500, OF six dollars. 1fhis in
CONC he $1,000 his tax would be $162-on
the first fl, 600, less the 5000 exempted,
and $50 On the next s., 900; total $s43 on
the whole. Hhis income be $4,000 his
taxes would be three per cent on $5,4o0,
four per cent on $4,000, and FIVE per cent
on $4,000. This would be much more
satisfactory scale than the present one, and
would yield fur more revenue
Again, the exemption Of six hundred dol
lars ought to cover al that should be al
lowed. At present vast sums are exempted
under the head Of necessary repairs"
and Estate, county and municipal taxes"
~, The Federal Government ought not to
bother itself about the repairs man may
nut on his house or the amount of local
taxes he pays. The sum Of 5000 it was
estimated, would support tic families Of the
:4aboring classes, and that it was about all,
or rather more, than the bulk Of labor
ing men earned IN year. 1t was the in

A FACT WITH A MORAL.

A celebrated artist in one of his ramblei
met with the most beautiful and interesting
child that he had ever seen. Il will paint
the portrait of this child" he said, and
keep it for my own; for I may never look
upon it's like again." He painted it; and
when trouble came, and evil passions moved
his spirit to rebel, he gazed upon the like
ness of the boy, and passion fed, and holier
thoughts entranced his soul. Years passed
away, and at length, within prisons walls
