Secretary MoCulloch and His Internal
Revenue Omcers.
We call the attention Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, whom we believe 10 be q
prompt and ready business man, TO the
troubles caused in this city by the bIundering
blockheadedness Of his oficials In the Internal
Revenue Department 1t might be supposed
that these men were chosen for their stupidity,
and that upon examination each man was ap-
pointed only upon its being found utterly i'm
possible to drive an idea into him. The tax
collector is never welcome visitant, and hence
If to bis naturally unpleasant character he adds
arrogance Of manner, ignorance Of bis duties
and the general doltishness offs mule, any one
can see how easy It is for him to utterly disgust
the people with the whole system under which
he comes to them, and how he himself will
stimulate the taxpayer to strain every hair
against the purposes and objects Of his depart
ment
The following letter Is one Of several that
we have received from the same source:-

these two others we pay our taxes. One is the

district that includes our residence. At these
two points, when called upon, we pay promptly
all proper demands made upon us. We have
not, nor never had, any desire to avoid the pay
ment Of our taxes-and we pay large sum
the heaviest tax laid upon any newspaper in
this country, perhaps in the world. And while
we do this we desire to be exempt from the
annoyance Of ignorant assessors who have no
business with us whatever We suppose that
this also Is the desire Of every man in the COM
munity, and we hope that the Secretary will
look after these subordinates, and confer
benefit upon the whole country by the removal
of every assessor who does not know his busi-
ness and will not learn it.
It is one more virtue In our proposition for
the payment Of the national debt that it may
be the means of relieving the country Of this
intolerable nuisance at no distant day. We
are receiving all the time the names of those
who desire to take part in this grand enter
prise. As many persons desire to subscribe
who cannot give twenty thousand, but will
give ten, we accept the proposition to modify
the idea In that way and make il in ten thou
sand dollar shares. The following is this great
roll Of honor with the additions to last night.

in this nefarous business are for the most part
the same (or q similar class) as those who car
ried on so extensive and profitable . trade
during the war as bounty brokers and recruit
ing agents. Now that the rebellion is over
their occupation is gone; but the Mexican ex-
element having come up In the nick Of time,
they have seized upon it with all possible avid
ity as another chance for feathering their nests.
1t is, therefore, the duty OF all persons afflicted
with the Mexican emigration fever-especially
newly arrived emigrants and soldiers out of
employment-to look out for themselves, and
to avoid the sharpers that are prepared to
swindle them. 1t is not by the efforts of such
fellows as these that the Mexican question is to
be settled. When the proper time arrives the
United States government will dispose Of it
without their advice or assistance. In the
meanwhile all persons who ore credulous
enough to believe the representations Of these
sharpers, and to throw themselves into their
power, will be swindled without doubt and If
they are victimized In the face Of the warning
they have received, they will richly deserve
their fate

three hundred thousand soldiers and sailors are
about to be restored from the destructive busi-
ness Of war TO the productive employment Of
peace. Make room for them, fellow citizens.
The general government and the authorities
Of the loyal States will doubtless adopt large
and liberal measures for the benefit Of our sick,
wounded and disabled beroes, soldiers and
sailors, and for the care of the mothers, widows
and orphans of those who have given up their
lives on the altar Of their country. We are as
sured, TOO, that, 80 far rs the honors and Offices
of the federal government are concerned, the
claims OF the Union soldier and sailor will
not be overlooked, but will be considered as .
pre-empdou title to civil pre'erment; and yet
there will be large numbers OF men from our
fleets and armies who will be thrown upon tho
chances Of luck for employment In their
behalf We would suggest % our financial men

We would suggest that the Secretary Of the
Treasury take this business in hand and give it
an official shape in his next report From sta
tistics in his possession he win be able to see
how many men there are In the country who
can enter into this plan, and TO whom, indeed,
IT would be, taking period of five years toge-
ther, an actual economy to do so. He may
make those statistics the basis Of proposition
that would render absolutely certain the success
Of this measure. That proposition would be
that every man who subscribes to one or more
shares, in proportion TO his taxable wealth,
shall, from the very hour Of his subscription, be
free from all internal revenue taxes.
That proposal, rightly made, would hurry
the matter immensely, and under its influence
as q grand commutation scheme we believe
the debt would be paid at once.

The Mexican Emigration Excftement-
What IL Really Means.
For several weeks past public attention has
been attracted by considerable noise and ex-
citement concerning an imaginary scheme for
emigration to Mexico. Within very brief pc
riod thousands of over credulous people have
become wild over the matter, and from day 10
day have been madiy rushing about in search
Of impossible information, especially how and
when they are to be paid indefinite sums Of
money. As usual, in cases Of this kind, num-
ber Of clever sharpers have at once risen TO the
surface, and have begun 10 look about them for
the spoils-that is, for chances TO pilfer and
swindle the ignorant and unwary. Since the
beginning Of the movement there have

and we'll mstured rascality. Their pro-
ceedings, as q general thing, have been
very widely circulated, and they do not fail
regularly 10 inform the public that their
scheme is progressing swimmingly. One
individual boldly comes out over bis own
signature, asserting his authority" not only 10

learn, has already raised two regiments, and Is
busily recruiting for athird. What is TO be the
ultimate fate OF the unfortunate recruits, and
whether they are ever TO receive one cent Of
money in exchange for their wonderful conf
dence, are questions which II Is entirely impos-
sible To resolve.
The truth, simply and plainly, is that all the
fuss and excitement about recruiting for emf

A vRTuous FrT.-Every now and then the
Common Council take virtuous &c and pass
ordinances for the suppression Of concert sa-
looms, hard drinking places and other pre-
cincts Of an unquestioBable character, and
give the public the impression that the Police
Commissioners have TO execute eli their orders,
whether based on sound law or otherwise. A
morning sheet yesterday conveyed the infor-
nation that the Police Commissioners had
decided 70 close The concert saloons, on ac-
count OF the numerous robberies committed
therein A vote in the Council was probably
the only foundation for the report The mat
ter Of authority TO close these saloons has
heretofore been tested, and II has been decided
by magistrates that the power of he Commis-
sioners extends only 10 the suppression Of
places where theatrical performances or con-
certs are given without license, or where dis
orderly saloons are kept The question as

missioners extends ever the novelty known %

tested The fact ID there are but Few econ
cert" saloons known practically a. such now
in existence IN the city, but lager beer saloons,
with young girls as attendants, multiply
with alarming rapidity, even within the per-
fumed and aristocratic curbstones Of the Fifth
avenue. A Partisan Theresa might awaken a
lively sensation in these quarters and tbe
Police Commissioners be not required 70 sup
press the exhibition as unlawful.

\. JEFF. DAVIS IN IRoNs.-Therc is a sensation
story published in one Of the Philadelphia
papers that JEFF. Davis has been put in irons;
that he resisted terribly when the manacles
were put on; that he first raved and then wept,
and wanted the guards to shoot him. There is
probably not word of truth in the statement.
If true, the act is certainly without the sanction
Of the President, and will not be tolerated by
him. There Is no need Of any such mode Of
securing the rebel chief All accounts show
that be cannot escape from the casemate which
has been prepared for his confinement No
good and strong government does an unncces-
sary act. This, If true, bad as JEFF Davis is,
would come under this head. 1t is, therefore,
fair to believe that the whole story was made
up to sell, regardless Of all other considera-
items.

WASHINGTON, November d.
The President has evidently suspended
the pardoning process, with view to at'-
fording Congress AN opportunity to sug
gest some general policy upon the subject.
The abuse of the amnesty specially granted
has occurred in only few cases. and is not
chargeabe to any considerable portion of
over 10000 of paI'loned rebels. This, there
fore, is not the cause of the suspension of
special pardOns, but as there has been no
meeting of Congress since the advent of
Mr.. johnson to the Presidency he regards
il simply matter of respectful Difference
to that body 10 await an expression of
opinion upon important subjects for En-
ecutive action. H'H. Hr".lta
Mexican affairs were of the Monroe doe
trine, and will be finally asserted. Its I'M
mediate practical enforcement in the case
of Mexico will not be recommended by
Congress, but will be left TO its own action
under consideration. tu
There was II full meeting of the Cabinet
to-day. The result will tianspire In the
forthcoming Presidential message. Il Is
whispered that while the principal wise
decision rs to what course shall be adopted,
the War department Is preparing to
abandon, or, at least, unite the proper
tlons of some of its features, which were
barely tolerated as q military necessity
during the war, but are regarded with de-
eided aversion IN these -plping times of
peace. . q.
A wholesome fear of Investigating com
missions induces this preparation TO set
our military house in order IN view OF Il
resumption of civil authority throughout
the land. TH
As the Senators and members of Congress
begin TO thieken at the capital, the ques-
tion of the admission Of southern members
elect assumes more definite shape daily.
l The expressed determination of the Pres
ident Is TO see justice done; and his policy
will he warmly advocated by many OF the
strongest and ablest men in both Houses OF
Congress. The Radicals except few OF
the extreme ultraists, show evident signs of
weakening in their assault on the Admin
istration. They are not ready To thrust
themselves out into the cold, and lose their
identity with the Administrations.
They find already that the can not drive
