Publishing INCOMES The New York
Tribune has the following on this subject,
which will apply in CALIFORNIA;
So long as income tax shall be required and
levied, We are satisfied that it is best for all
who are honestly concerned therein that there
should be no restriction on giving publicity to
the items. We have not the slightest objection
to any one or more ascertaining how much in
come We return and Judging whether that
return is foil and fair or otherwise. II we
have not returned enough let complaint be
duly made aod correction enforced. Aud how
can this be If the lists are TO be shrouded in
secrecy? Why shun the light, if there be
nothing that breads it? If there be men Tor
women) who wish to pass for rich when they
are not, or to live in state on the plunder of
their creditors and tradesmen, why not expose
them? And it there be men living al the rate
of FIVE TO ten thousand year who swear their
incomes down TO 81 900 or 81 500, why not
let the world see and scorn their unpatriotic
knavery? We regard any incoIe tax as Pc
culiarly onerons, and only 10 be justified by the
sterneSt necessity. But, so long as one is i'm
posed. let il be fairly assessed and paid. We
know that this will not be, if the returns are 10
be kept secret. We know that some have re
turned and paid tax on incomes OF $4,000 to
$4,000, who are actually less wealthy than
Others who have returned few hundreds, and
even no incomes at all. We want this straight
ened; and publishing the returns will help
so We go in for it.

The INDIAN DIFFICuLIEs.- Salt Lake
Nedette says it is forced, reluctantly, 10 the
conclusion that the Indians of Colorado, Ne
braska and Southern Dakota will have affairs
pretty much their own way for some time to
come. They number, from all accounts re-
ceived, from twenty FIVE hundred to four thou.
sand warriors. They are well mounted and
are armed with rifles, carbines and revolvers.
There are not soldiers sufficient, on the Platte
river and in the country adjacent, 10 success
fully cope with them. The fact Of hundred
men being compelled to pursue and engage a
body of Indians estimated at not less than Eve
hundred, certainly indicates lack Of necessa
ry military force. The Indians appear to have
lost their dread for the lightning talker = bu,
we more than half suspect that white men are
in league with them Unless they are speedily
brought to terms by vigorous campaign, We
will be compelled TO abandon all hope of any
emigration from the East during the coming
season. We must prepare ourselves to pay
very high prices for everything we may re-
quire-probably not be able to procure many
articles required at any price. A vigorous
campaign cannot be conducted to successful
termination unless more soldiers are placed iu
the field.

SIcKLEs' MIssIoS.-An item in the telegraph
news, taken 10 connection with another fact,
says the Bee, seems TO make clear the object
of General Sickles' mission TO Bogota That
place is the seat of the Government Of New
Grenada. which controls the Isthmus. The
dispatch item says the Government Of Bogota
has decided not to allow foreign troops, those
of the United States excepted, to cross the
Is,hmus. Not long since, that Government
refused to allow the pirates captured 10 the
Bay of Panama to be taken across the Isthmus.
Sickles' mission was undoubtedly in connection
with these matters, and it may be set down as
pretty certain that be was sent to Bogota 10
enter into treaty that will allow our Govern
meut at any time to transport troops and mu-
nitions OF war across the Islhmus. Events
seem TO point TO troublous times on this coast,
10 connection with proceedings in Mexico, ard
hence the necessity for the United States to
obtain the right of free transit for its troops
across the Isshmus to the exclusion of oil other
powers.
