INSTRUMENTATION.

At last the abolition papers, alarmed at
the rapid depreciation of the currency, call
loudly for taxation. The war has been car
ried on thus far by 4" due bills" and Mr..
Chase has evidently about reached the limit
in that direction. Nothing will answer the
purposes but taxation; taxes upon every
thing we see, hear, taste, or smell taxes
upon light and locomotion; taxes when we
lie down and taxes when we sit up; taxes
when we are born and taxes when we die.
This is the only policy to restore anything
like public credit. But then must the peo-
pie be awakened from the insanity that now
fills their souls ? Must they be made to re-
alize that war is severe and expensive bus
mess, and that whether they count the cost
or not, it follows them like spectre? We
have had our dance Of joy; we have seen
the gorgeous display of blue coats and gilt
buttons; we have feted and toasted the
mushroom generals whom the peoples
money has lifted out of deserved obscurity,
and now the pay day is coming How little
do the giddy throng imagine as the eyes Of
thousands strain at regiment equipped
for the field, that that body of men carry
away with them the very life blood of the
people who vacantly and stupidity stare at
them? Every dollar, every cent it costs to
send them forth ON their mission Of destruc-
ton must be paid, if paid at all, by the
sweat. toll and very life blood of the masses
who cheer them on.
They have no right, therefore, to COM
plain of taxes, Of high prices of any kind.
Two millions of people withdrawn from the
position of producers of wealth and turned
into destroyers of it, must, of necessity,
require large outlays for their support
Every man in favor of the war, should
cheerfuly welcome the tax necessary for its
support. If any can be allowed to grumble
| it is only those who have condemned the
entire war policy from the beginning. We
notice, however, disposition in certain
Democratic war journals, to growl about
the war expenses, while at the same time
urging on the giving of more men and more
money. Do those editors suppose that the
war can be carried on without paying for it?
The simple truth is, no nation has ever had
such immense armies as we have, and it is
not astounding that the debt is enormous.
There are, therefore, but two alternatives
before us, taxation or reputation. Con-
gress has at last, under the spur of the alb
clifton journals, brought forward tax bill,
the principal features of which we give in
another column. 1t will be seen that moth
ing is to escape the scrutiny of the tax gath
erer. The few articles heretofore exempted
are now included, and there is no possibili-
ty of turning around without encountering
a tax. This is the only remedy for down
right bankruptcy. The people will be forced
to face it, The fiddling has been DONE
The tifer must be paid. The day-dream OF
fictitious wealth is over. The reality be-
gins, and the sooner the better.-Day

The World.

There is more sunshine than rain-more
Joy than pain--more love than hate-more
smiles than tears, in the world. Those who
say to the contrary, we would not choose
for our friends or companions. The good
heart, the tender feelings, and the pleasant
dispositions, make smiles, love and sunshine
everywhere. A word spoken pleasantly is
a large spot of sunshine on the sad heart
who has not seen its effect? A smile is like
the bursting out of the sun behind cloud,
to him who thought he had no friend in the
wide world. The tear of affection, how
bright it shines along the dark path of life!
A thousand gems make a milky-way, on
earth, more glorious than the glorious clus-
ter over our heads.

Beware.

Beware of listening to the man who says
he will not detain you FIVE minutes.
Beware, if you are in hurry, of getting
into an empty omnibus.
Beware Of shop that deals in Awful
Failures
Beware of interfering in any quarrel;
more particularly matrimonial one.
Beware of marrying woman who has
"great expectations"
Beware of short cuts when you are trav-
elling.
Beware of buying horse from friend.
Beware Of living near ire-work gal
lery.
Above all, beware of putting your name
on stamped piece of paper, as much as
you would beware of steel traps and spring
guns, or putting your fingers in the fire.

Lincoln,s Louisiana PIanta-
tiOns.

"on the Old Hickory plantation 4l3 negroes
were placed on the 3D. of June, 1868, of whom 2l
had died by the llth day Of the following Sept.
"of 300 placed on White Castle plantation onl,
~ were found living on the 10th OF September.
"on the Andes plantation, only l7s were left
out of four hundred.
"And a proportionate mortality was found OF
the Vintress plantation, Magnolia plantation
plantation, and the Miles Taylor"
Harx the shrill cries of woe
Are borne on every gale:
From desert fields once fair
From every sunny vale;
Those piercing cries, with horror drear,
Appall the heart and pain the car.
The sable sons of want
Distracted fly and roam,
Protection cannot find;
Compelied& p to to leave s.ay, their h I,fIfS. hfomfe.
But not from CALLING woes set free.
In hunger, cold and pain,
Sorrow that welcomes death:
Poor, homeless, fanished, lone
The Afric race have freedom found,
Its blessings come low under ground.
An Abolition host
In christian garb, oppressed;
Nicegerents they of hell,
All meekncSs still profess
With rapine, lust viii torch and fame
Devour the land in Free iom's name.
Ye frenzied party priests
OF Beecher's motley train,
This is your hendish work.
Denial is in vain.
tyrant's rule you each would have
Despotic power is what you crave.
Ye dcmagogues abhorr'd!
Ye Sumner-Greely bands!
Survey your deeds of hate
Look at your bloody hands
For party ends in party strife,
The slave Is robbed of home and life

The Bible.

Out of it have come all the pure morali-
ties. From it have sprung all the sweet
charities. 1t has been the motive power
of regeneration and reformation to millions
of men. 1t has comforted the humble,
consoled the mourning, sustained the suf-
fering, and given trust and triumph to the
dying. The wise old man has fallen asleep
with it folded upon his breast. The simple
cottager has used it for dying pillow; ana
last happy sigh with his fingers between its
nromise freighted leaves.

The Union Democracy.

know them now in their waning strength.
do not know possible disunionist among

to the Union now as in by gone days when
their ranks were full, and their challenge
to the contest was always the war cry of
victory. "-WM. II. SEWARD, 1861

On the Brink.

On the brink of well to stand and hear
The sweet cool water bubbling near;
With parching lip and straining eye
And frame all thirst, to pant and die;
Gazing down with hopeless pain
On the snnken cup and broken chain.
Oh! tits harder still to stand on the brink
OF Loves own spring, and dare not drink
When the waves run high and the blast is loud
And the seaman's head with fear is bowed,
To see from the bow a bright, still bay,
Where your storm-driven bark might safely lay
And that haven toknow in the foreman's hand
Where tits ruin to anchor and death to land.
Yet, It's harder to stand on the brink
or Loves own spring, and dare not drink!
With faltering step and heaving breast,
Wayworn and longing for peace and rest
To cross on your path shady dell,
In whose deep cal Inn 'twere JOY to dwell,
Yet know that bright refreshing green
Is the deadly Upas' fatal screen.
On! It's harder still when you dare not rest
Your weared head on the loved ones breast

CORRUPTION IN THE TREAS
URY DEPARTMENT.
Fraud in the Greenback Factory
The Treasury Harem.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
WASHINGTON, April 30.
The main sensation to-day is created by
a partial development of Gil cumstances up
on which charges are made against the
Treasury Department. A Committee con-
sisting of five Republicans and four Demo-
Gratis, was appointed by the House to-day
to investigate the cause.
The alleged corruption is in the printing
department, where the greenbacks are turn
ed out by steam engine and machinery,
and done up to suit the pressing demands of
the Treasury. This branch of the service is
under the management of one S. M. Clark,
against whom curious rumors have been
afloat for two or three months, Efforts have
been made to have Mr.. Chase remove this
man Clark, but without avail, as he seemed
to have hold ON the Secretary that could
not be loosened. What the spell was, with
which he beguiled the father of greenbacks,
no one could exactly tell, though there were
some curious conjectures. .t
Among the rumors now floating, and
which believe are embodied in the
charges, is mentioned discrepancy in the
fractional currency account, there being
variance of about twenty millions-a mere
fraction of the great aggregate-from the
amount which is required to be kept in cir
culation, and reported by the Secretary as
actually in circulation.
1t is also charged that among the females
employed in the greenback factory, Mr..
Clark has employed women of easy virtue,
and that the most bare-faced treachery is
practiced in the department with these wo-
men. 1t is even said this branch of the SER
vice has a few rooms fitted up in oriental
style of splendor, and that regular harem
is kept under the control of leading Off
Ger, for the benefit of persons high in the
confidence of the President. In fine, the
charges amount to this: that the greenback
factory is place of easy virtue for the ben
eft of parties of easy morals.
There has been much of unhappy jarring
in the Cabinet family recently, and each de-
partment has suspected the others of cor
ruption. This led to the appointment of
certain detectives who ferreted out and
made known the matters above stated
The depositions of the females and others
were taken, and most of the proofs, there
fore, already prepared for the committee.

Nntice to Subscribers.

THE DAILY STATESMAN will continue to
be delivered to subscribers in the city
and country at the usual rates of FIFTEEN
CENTS PER WEEK. No agent is authorized
to charge more for the paper. Other pub
fishers are increasing the price of their pa
pers and reducing the amount of reading
matter, we are increasing the amount Of
reading matter, at the old price, and expect
to publish the cheapest as well as the best
newspaper in the State.
We hope the friends of The STATESMAN
and of the cause which it seeks to advance,
will bestir themselves energetically, and
see that it receives the support which, our
efforts to give them large, live and cheap
paper, would seem to merit. This is
most excellent time to work for increasing
the circulation of both the Daily and Week
ly editions of THE STATESMAN, and we hope
1t will be well improved.
