Mr. Geo. A. Griswold, called out by the
letter which appeared in our columns
the other day in relation to the case Of
c. H. Gowran. Mr.. Griswold says,
among other things, that he had no
means of knowing at the time he caused
the arrest that Gowran was on his way to
deliver himself upunder the Presidents
proclamation, and that the arrest was
made at the request Of several citizens
of Washington county, N. " where
GOwran resided. This being the case,

PEACE EFFORTS.

Tie Ner- York Tmts has certainly swallowed
wrong-end foremost its story about "terms OF
peace and adjustment" suggested by us last
Summer, and brings it up so transformed as to
bear but slight resemblance to its proper self.
We made some suggestions for the consideration
Of the President of the United States, and for
no one else unless and until approved and
adopted by him, with such notifications as he
should see fit to make; and, so far from being
nrocluded from submitting them, or having
them submitted, by the Presidents with
holding his needed assent" we have since
learned with surprise that the President ex'
pooted that we ,coutd submit them informally to
certain Rebel agents in Canada. and was disap'
pointed that we did not Ue had no thought
of doing anything Of the KIND.
The Times evnces "anxiety and alarm III
view Of our inference from the fact OF Nh
Blair's repeated journeys Richmond-ward
that the President does not insist on unoon'
ditional surrender by the Rebels, and says:
"Ifi be true that our Government Is prepared tC
accent conditional surrender at the hands of the ebe
authorities the country would Ike to know uhoi con
dtons ii is prepared to grant, and we applied to The
quarter most likely to be well informed upon thai
point"
No, Sir that "quarter" is the Government
itself, which 1--WE presume) is quite able to KEEP
its own counsel. We do not see how it could
make public proclamation of "what condi
tons it is prepared to grant" pending their con
sideration and possible modification. W
neither know nor seek to know them, but rest
in the confident trust that the Executive j;
equal to the high trust reposed in him by Tho
People.

who are honestly concerned therein that there
should be no restriction on giving publicity to
the items. We.baye not the slightest objection
to any one or more ascertaining how much In

is full and fair or otherwise. five haYe not
returned enough, let complaint be duly made
and correction enforced. And how car this be
if the lists ore to be shrouded in secrecyl Why
shuu the light if there be nothing that breads it ?
If there be men (or women) who wish to pass
for rich VIXEN they are not, or to live in state
on the plumber Of their creditors and tradesmen,
why not expose them7 And if there be men
living at the rate Of five to ten thousand year
who swear their incomes down to $1,000 or
$500, why not let the world see and scorn
their unpatIiotic knaveryl
We regard any Income Tax as peculiarly
onerous, and only to be justified by the stern
est necessity. But, so long as one is imposed,
let it be fairly assessed and paid. We know
that this will not be if the returns are to be kept

paid tax on incomes of $4,000 to $4,000 who
are actually less wealthy than others who have
