Income Tax.

Editor Belmont Chronicle:
Hasty judgments founded on the tax
list may do great injustice.
One worth twenty thousand in produc-
tive property, such as stocks and notes,
may perhaps get an income therefrom of
$1,000. From which is exempt 5000.
Taxes 5000. House rent 500. Total
deduction 5000. Leaves subject to In
come Tax $70O.
Another worth one hundred and eighty
thousand, in slightly improved lands, may
got an income theTeirom OF only $1,000. He
may own also, stocks and. notes to the
amount Of twenty thousand, on which his
income is $1,000. from which is exempt
5000. And taxes at the rate above stated
$1,000. Total deduction $4,000.
Leaves nothing subject to Income Tax. -
Thus the richer man ofthe two, in the case
supposed escapes the Income Tax; but he
does not escape taxation. His whole in
come, except the exempt 5000, has been
absorbed by the taxes. His income tax is
small, or nothing, because he has paid tax.
es on the other things that are almost un-
productive of income, and is not much ia.
yored especially, wherd he has paid the
Government two hundred dollars per quar-.
ter and just afterwards the Government
sells TO the settler at ten dollars por quar-
ter AllrightIthough--let the poor get home
---steads, and capitalists make more judi.
cous investments.

The Profits of Jay Cooke T. Co.

A correspondent Of the Tribune, in Civ
ing an account of the business of the Office
Of Jay Cooke Il Co., in Philadelphia, in
connection with the popular loan, demon.
strates that their contract with the Gov
ermcnt does not leave avery large margin
for profit, as many suppose. He says
Here is his account with the loan and
the machinery thereof, and it is noteworthy.
The Gevcrament pays him I Of per cent.
for the first fifty millions he sells, and 4 of
per cont. for the second fifty millions, and
the residue. The Government puts on him
all the losses, all tho risks, and all the ex.
penses. Now out Of that small commission
OF first, and atterward !, he pays to the
sub agent banks and brokers, 4 of per
cent Then he pays for all of the telegraph
ing incidental to the business, and it is aw-
fully costly. Then he pays all the expenses
OF the travelling agents--pays all the ex-
expenses Of advertising land nearly every
paper in the country ''display heads the
7-30,) all the expenses Of clerk hire, ex-
press charges. blanks, circulars, and the
distribution and posting of hand bills. Lass
than one eighth of one per cent. remains in
his hands at tho end, with the immense
risk and the enormous care and labor Of SO
vast and driving business. In Europe, on
the other hand, the banker that opens his
doors as medium of negotiations for a
Government loan, is paid from one to two
and half per cent. take it that the ex-
pensiveness Of this 7-30 Loan is feature
IT 1t, as we'll as its popularity.

Hunter on the Negro Arming
Rflf.

In the debate on the bill to arm ths ne.
gross, Mr.. Hunter, of Virginia, said as he
had been instructed by the Virginia Legis.
lature to vote against his convictions, it was
proper that be should give his opinions.--
When we left the old Government he
thought we had gotten rid forever OF slav-
cry agitation; that we were entering into
new Confederacy whero the agitation Of the
slavery question, which had become intol-
cradle under the old Union, was to have no
place. TO his surprise he fnds this Govern
nept assumes the power to arm the slaves,
which involves also the power Of emancipa
ton. To this assumption he attributed the
origin of the gloom which now everspreads
the people. 81 So
Tbey knew that if our liberties we're to
be achieved it was to be done by the hearts
and hands Of freemeu. 1t also injured us
abroad. Ii was regarded as confession of
despair and the abandonment Of the ground
upon which we started from the old Union.
We had insisted that Congress had noright
to interfere with slavery. We also conten-
ded that whenever two races were thrown
together one must be the master and the
other the slave, and We vindicated ourselves
against the accusation of abolitionsts, by
asserting slavery was the best and happiest
condition Of the negroes. This proposition
admits the right of the Central Government
to put slaves into the military service, and
to emancipate as many as shall be placed in
the military service. '-....
1t is a clear claim Of the Central Govern
ment to emancipste slaves. If we are right
in passing this measure, we wero wrong in
denying to the old Government tho right to
interfere with the institution Of slavery,
and to omancipate the slaves besides. II
we offer the slaves their freedom, We con.
fess that we were insincerein in asserting slav-
cry the best state for the negroes themselves.
He had been sincere ip declaring that the
Central Government had no power over the
institution Of slavery, and that freedom
would be no boon to the negro. He be-
lieved the arming Lnd emancipating of the
slaves was the abaadonment Of this contest
aud the grounds on which it was underta
ken. Not for the gold in California would
he have put his name to such a measure
unless obliged to do it by instructions Mr..
Hunter argued the necessity OF freeing the
negroes if they were made soldiers Some
thing in the human heart tells us that wher
they come out SCARED from the conflict they
must be free. IF we could make them sol
diers we could mako them officers perhaps
to command white men.

Intoxioation i'm Office,

Mr.. Andrew johnson, our new Vice
Pro sident, is said to have been demented
by liquor when sworn into Office, and to
have made a senseless and dscreditable
harangue inconsequence. And it is reported
that he has fallen into habits which disGualify
him for the. high position to which lie has
been chosen.
We fervently hope that at lsast the latter
and worse half Of this scandal will prove
untrue; for. if it should not, the country will
be subjected to the pain and scandal and
Mr.. johnson to the modification inseparable
from his expulsion from Office If he has
become drunkard, and does not promptly
and thoroughly reform, he certainly cannot
remain Vice President the United States;
and, 1t he has any earnest and intimate
friend, he will be so assured forthwith -
Ihe People may pity as well as mourn his
tall but they cannot abide drunkard in
his present high position.
Certain Opposition journals seek to make
party capital out Of his alleged fall: lot us
see how ttly:
Throughout the late session of Congress,
tive Senators, and two only, have been con
spicuously and psrsistentIy intemperato. -
Both Of thom are of the Opposition. One
Of them has frequently interrupted and
disturbed the proceedings of the Senate by

them has ever been publicly rebuked by any
journal Of his party. On the contrary, one
has just been reelected for full term of six
years by the whole strength of that party in
his State, without whisper of Democratic
dissent.from any quarter. And now the
very journal that is most noisly assailing
the friends of the Administration because of
Mr. Johnson's lapse is simultaneously
denouncing as proscriptive and outrageous
the omission by the majority of the Senate Of

THE SITUATION.

There is nothing definite from Sher.
man yet From the Cincinnati Ca
sette Of Monday we clip the following
on the situation: Bragg claims vic
tory in North Carolina. He probably
gained one, and out of it the Richmond
papers try to make all possible and
and much impossible capital. The
party that the rebels encountered was
force that has been repairing the
railroad to Kingston from Newbern.-
And it appears to have taken the whole
of Draggs forces to accomplish this.
Meantime portion Of Schofeld's army,
in connection with the gunboats, were
working their way up the Cape Fear
river, and news was received at Will
mington on Wednesday the Sth, of the
capture Of Fayetteville, ut which point
Sherman was daily expected. There
he would be supplied, and, re enforced
by Schofield Bragg's little victory
would have no moro effect upon his
movements than fly would upon the
revolutions Of coach wheel. fisher
man succeeds in getting to Fayette-
vile, he will have achieved q great
victory, and the rebels will have suf-
fered an irreparable disaster. II, with
all their efforts, they fail to check his
march through North Crrolina, what
can they expect to accomplish against
him whom, supplied and re- enforced,
he moves forward again? They have
already admitted that everything de-
pended upon the defeat of our army in
the interior. To this end they have
been bending all their means; and, fail
Ing in this, they surrender the strong
est hopes of success in further resist
ance to which they have been clinging.
The Richmond papers, it has been
observed, have given us no news of
Sheridan's operations in the Valley
THY now say, however, they have good
news from the Valley. 1t is this
They expect their cavalry to re capture
the prisoners taken by Sheridan! But
We have heard from that cavalry. They
attacked the escort conducting tho
prisoners TO Winchester, and were re-
pulsed. If they made another attack,
and had any better result, it has not
been heard OF on either side. Lee ap-
pears to have been sending forces to
Lynchburg He will probably succeed
in holding that place for the present
against Sheridan, but If he can not
hold Lynchburg and check Sherman
too, he can not save Richmond. In
this event Lynchburgh may serve him
as hole to crawl out through, but it
will be difficult for him to make any
better use.
Since writing the above the fol.
lowing dispatch has been received.
GOOD NEWS DIRECT FROM SHERMAN.
WASHINGTON, March IA, IL, AM
Major General Dir:-Dlspatches di-
rect from Sherman and Schoheld have
been received this morning. Sher-
mans dispatch 10 dated March Sth, at
Laurel Hill, North Carolina. He says:
1--WE are all well, and have done
finely. Details are, for obvious rsa-
cons, omitted"
Gen. SchoGeld in dispatch dated
Nswbern, March II, states that on the
night Of the 10th, near South West
creek, Bragg was fairly beatcn that
during the night he retreated across
Neuse river at Kinston, and now holds
the bank Of the river at that place.
