U. 8. Senator from Tennessee, passed
through Lynchburg, Va, on his way
from Washington to his home in Tennes
see, large crowd instigatcd by secession
Tennesseeans, assembled around the de-
pot and attempted to get Mr.. johnson of
the cars that they might wreak ven.
geance on him because of his firm adhe
renee to the Union. Groans and. oaths
filled the air. Every possible indignity
was offered to the noble Senator, includ

great difficulty that the crowd was re-
strained and his life saved.
Whose nose will be pulled now?

The Last Test of Republication.

The Last Test OF Republtcanlsms
The fact that the death, by assassina.
ton At the hands of political enemy, of
the Chief Magistrate Of tho United
States while the country is still strug-
Cling with gigantic rebellion, has not
Jared our national securities by so much
a. the half of one per cent, though the
whole loyal people loved our late Presi.
dent more deeply than ever a President
sincs Washington was loved, forms the
.culminating evidence of the wisdom Of
our Constitution and the stability of our
republican institutions.
Had Louis Napoleon been assassin ated
. heavy decline in rentes and a certain at
tempt ct revolution would have been
made. Europe understands perfectly
we'll that France has no institutions Of
government in one sense of the word, but
sdapts her institutions to the man who
happens to be in power. If he be weak
like Louis Philippe, her constitution is
limited monarchy; if he be great like
the 6rst Napoleon, or cunninely subtle
like the second, (called the third) he is
au absolute popular despot. So 10 Eng
land, even tie death of the Queen con.
sort, Prince Albert, caused decline in
consols, and such an event as the assas-
sination of the Queen by the hand of
political enomie', accompanied by the At.
tempted assassination Of the Prince of
Wales and tho Cabinet would bring down
consols on the rus. Stable as the Brit
ish government claims to be il has never
seen tho day when such an event as that
which has just occurred in this country
could take plaee without = depression Of
their government securities, if not indeed
q more widespread panic in business
But within four hours after the President
expired all grounds of constitutional diff.
fculty we're removed by the entrance Of
his successor upon the duties of the Office.
Greatly as the President was beloved,
yet so much stronger are institutions than
men in this country that the financial
thermometer of public confidence varies
not one per cent, even when in the midst
of . great civil war, the heart Of the en-
tire nation bleeds under the severest ma
tioual bereavement which has ever befal-
len it. The President is dead but the
great Republic lives.

Inc0me Tax Of Fa9mefss

WASHINGTON, March IL, 1895. (

Income Tax Of Farmers.
TKxAa DsPr, Orr1cs or INr.RNAL REARxur,
WAsnINoroS, March II, 1866.
SIR: Your letter of March 9Th in 70.
gard to farmers income returns 10 70.
ceived.
I reply that tho act of July l, 1862,
under which returns we're made to tho
snnual income taxes Of 1862 and 1868,
required farmers to return each year the
entire crop harvested. 81.
But the act of June 80, 1864, now in
force, under which tho returns for the
special income tax of 1868 were made,
requires farmers to return each year ths
amount of produce sold. .aat
It will bs found that fslmsrs' income
rsturns for 1864 will include some por-
tion Of the crop of 1868, and which Was
taxed Is income for that year. There 10
an apparent injustice in subj bjecting the
same income to tax in two different years,
the year when raised and the year whom
sold, bus . consideration Of the question
will show that IL is only an apparent one.
For, suppose the income of farmer to
be the same every year, and tho rate of
tax the same, it is plain that the amount
Of tax should be also the same Now the
farmer does not sell the whole crop each
year within that year, and if he is taxed
in 1864 on such produce on y as he rais-
ed and sold within that year, it is clear
that he will not pay the full tax due on
his real income. Supposing the yearly
crop to be the same, the farmer will, in
the last year of the tax, raise q certain
amount of produce on which he will pay
no tax, because unsold, and such produce
will, on an average, be fair Offset against
the produce raised in 1868, but sold in
1864, and which, consequently, pays
two taxes.
1t is true that in particular cases hard
ships will arise, from the fact that the
practice of farmers is not uniform in re.
gard to selling or storing produce. And
in other cases, farmers will escape their
just share of tax for the same reason But
tho same occasional inequality will occur
under any general provision of law, and
cannot be avoided.
The entire amount, therefore, of pro-
ducc sold in 1864, must be returned as
income by farmers, without regard to any
taxes previously paid on any such pro.
duce.
Very respectfully.
