The Richmond Wing does not like
the rebel tax bill, by which S150,000,-
900 are to be raised this year. 1t
says the taxes are to be paid by 6
portion only of the States. The seven
Atlantic and Gulf States will have to
bear the principal portion, and large
tracts of them are overrun by the
Federal enemy, and can pay nothing.
1t thinks it only decent that the rep
resentatives Of Kentucky, Missouri,
and Tennessee should not vote on the
bill, as their STATES will contribute
little or nothing. The Wing adds -
s'The narrow belt first adverted to is
to pay all, and at the same time feed
the army. With Major Rufin's or
the War Departments scale of prices
of agricultural products, the thing will
be simply Impossible, except at such a
sacrifice of property by the farmers,
for the benefit Of spectators and ex-
tortioners, as will be lntolerable.' =

"A Queer ~Comparisen.

The editor Of the court organ occasionally
compares our Government with that OF JKsr-
DAVIS. and because il is not ss oppressive u the
citizen be therefore claims that the people Of the
United States have no cause or right to complain
Of the Observation-Disclosures. corruption and de-
spotic acts of the party in power. The argument
amounts 20 this. The lesser crimes should be toler.
sted because larger are committed. Re
publicans may. but Democrats do not
propose TO make the Southern Confed
eracy the standard by which our own
Government shall be judged. The rebel taxation
may be double OF treble our own, but because it
is 90 that is no justification for the parry in power
imposing unnecessary burdens upon the people.
The President IN bis recent letter to Gov SEr-
nouR falls into ssimilar error. Hessys. I'VE are
icontendiug with an enemy who. as I understand.
drives ever able bodied man he can reach into
his ranks. very much as a butcher drives
buIlocks into a slaughter peu." And because
our enemy commits these acts Of conceded
wrong, hence We must drive our
own people very much as a butcher drives
bullocks into q slaughter pen. We are fighting
for the overthrov of the rebellion not merely to
msintain the boundaries of the old Union, but
because we believe that the government upon
which that Union was based is the hest calculated
for individual happiness. personal liberty and ma
tionsl prosperity. IL the rebel Government lie
despotic and oppressive. it is no excuse for the
exercise Of arbitrary power or the imposition
Of oppressive taxation by our own. But the
editor of the court organ proclaims to the
people that they must not object TO
The corruptioLs of the party in power. even If
they do tall with a heavy hand upon them. for
;he reason that if they lived under the iron rule
OF JEFF. DAVIS they would have still greater
burdens TO bear. Such comparisons may suit the
men who are f~atteniDg upon the corruptions Of
the party in power, but the plain people OF the
country can not appreciate the argument.

Now, sir, the case of Ableman W.. Booth,

II only decides that where persons are held under

sentatives in Congress 10 be admitted from these
