and TO pay strict obedience to law. 1t
delivers its views in the following Ian
guage:

ready to respond to IFS suggestions with lit

abundant proof of this in almost daily oc-

The EncoNsa Tax 0sl Officials.

We published, sometime since, arcommu-
nication from Asses or Prcsbery, jn reply to
an article from the Rochester InfOA which
asserted that the incomes of G0yerncnt Of
fcials we're exempt from taxtion. The t'n-
ion accepted Mr.. Prtsbe,ys elucidation of
the law, but claimed that under one section
of it all persons are taxed five per cent. on
sums on not exceeding So, 900. and ten per
cent. on every thing over that amount; that
under another section office holders are
wholly exempted; and that under a third
section office holders are taxed simply five
per cent, no matter how large thcirincomes
so that office holders with incomes over So
600 have the advantage over the rest of
mankind to the tune of five per cent This
exposition is confirmed in letter from Com
Lewis to the Lnioa editor, as fol
lows, : -.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT., OFFICE OF
INTERNAL REvENUE, WASHINGTON April
3, ISG5.--SIR: In reply to yours Of the u0th
uJt, inclosing slip from newspaper, ]
have to say that the law does provide for
the deduction from income of all salary re-
ccivcd from the United States, so that the
tax Of FIVE per cent. is all that can be collec-
ted from income derived from that source.
Very respectfully,
"JOSEPH j. LEWIS. Commissioner.
"NViIliam Purcell, Rochester, N. W
Thus Mr.. johnson, for instance, enjoys
the privilege of having a tax Of but FIVE
per cent, or 81 coo levied upon his $50, 900
above the $4,000, while a private citizen
with a similar income must pay temper cent.
or 81. 900. Several dozen foreign ministers
enjoy Il similar privilege in proportion to
their excess-numbers of them receiving
even larger salary than the President, if
paid, as formerly, in gold, as we believe
they are. So also with the members of the
the Justices of the Supreme
Court the Speaker of the House, such
Senators and Representatives in Congress as
the largest bills for mileage, and all
persons in Government service whose sala-
iies exceed $4,000.

Gerritt Smith to President john
S1DF,.

Gerritt Smith, the well-known Abolition
nh.lanthropist I'VE say philanthropist in con-
tradistinction to politician has written a re-
lnarkable letter to President Johnston, urg-
ing the President to carry out the concilia-
tory and humane policy towards the South
attributed to the late President Lincoln,-
Mr., Smith fears that the snfterings under
gone by the President, his family and friends
may induce him to extend the seyercst pun
ishment to the rebel leaders.
We quote the following from Dir. Smith $
letter: '-'
while Mr.. Lincoln was yet alive, gov
ernment was inccssantly called on by presses
and public meetings, By sermons saturated
by the vindictive aud lIsad thirsty spirit OF
the Jcwish theology, ana by v0loGs innu-
lnerable, not to spare these leading rebels,
No wonder, then, that the mannsr of his
death is made use of to increase the thirst
Tor their blood. For, absurd as is the
charge, that the assassin was their t@sl, it
nevertheless gains extended credencc. They
all knew Mr.. Lincoln $ Characteristic elem
ency, and that the terms of peoce lie had
agreed on were exceedingly mild. Hence,
how insane il the supposition that any ol
them sought his death"
As to the policy of ihficting severe rnrEt-
shment on the rebel leaders, Mr.. Smith
sayF;
II cannot doubt that peace is quite re-
mote, the severe policy toward the conquer
.cd rebels, which so many are calling for,
shall be adopted. For once let it be known
that the leading rebels who fall into our
hands will be doomed to punishment, be it
death, Imprisonment or exile, and imniedi-
ately, amongst their followers, sympathy
with them and rage against US will know no
bounds. Tens of thousands will burn for
vengeance, and will care for nothing but to
crafty it. In that state Of things guer-
rilla warfare would cnsue which, il not pacl-
fed by concessions, and such concessions,
too, as would fatally invade national and hui
man rights, might run through. many years,
harrassiRg and wasting our armies, and ad-
ding feariuliy, if not fatally, to our already
vast debt. 1t must not be forgotten that 1t

Then the South woSid be at peace with the

A Timely Verdict.

The friends and admirers of Mob Law, J"
altoget her too numerous Il class, Just now,
we are sorry to say, are respectfully invited
10 mediate upon aBoston telegram announ-
eng that a Supreme Court jury there have
returned verdict Of $50, 400 in favor of a
Mr.. Allen, whc on some frivolous trump
ed-up charge of 'diSloyalty,' had been
thrown into jail there, during the earlier
stages of the war, when accusations were
bat too often accepted as proof of guilt
This verdict comes at a very orportune
moment. 1t will do good. 1t will give a
certain class of noisy peoplc-who seem to
think that patriotism consists in club
bing and stoning individuals whose opinions
are not cast precisely in the same mold with
their own--to understand that, if they will
indulge in that sort of pastime, they must
expect, sooner or later to pay for it, as in
the case under consideration, in exemplary
damages. Justice, in such cases, seems to
be slow, sometimes, but it is sure.
Thirty-tw thousand five hundred dollars
is pretty big verdict-and yet we have an
idea, that, if all the false and cruel inpris-
onments, resulting from malicious and uil-
founded allegations Of ''disloyalty", ere to
have pccunlary indemnity now, it would
take as much money as JEFF Davis is re-
ported to have carried off with him, from
Richmond, to satisfy the claim. However,
it is a good thing tc know that settlement
at lasris beginning, and that. tho scene of
that beginning is a legal tribunal Of Massa-

"JOSEPH j. LEWIS. Commissioner.

EDWARD BATES, late United States At
torncy General, is writing a series Of articles
in the Missouri Democrat for the rostora-
ton of law and order in that State. He
says that all that has been done under pre-
tense Of martial law in the State is personal
wrong and punishable. usurpation; that
the provost marshals have assumed civil
functions without authority, and that the
late State convention was revolutionary in
its origin, character and proceedings, and
its acts are illegal and void, There is no
doubt that great crimes, and even monstrous
crimes, have been committed in Missouri
under the shield of loyalty and radicalism
and it will be well if the people Of the State
follow the advice given them by Presi-
dent Jincoln in his recent letter to Governor
Fletcher, and combine together to the
laws and suppress disorder and violence. -

A SINGULAR INCIDENT OF THE WAR.-A
letter from the Army of the Potomac, speak
ing Of the death Of Gen. Reed, chief Of
Gen. Ord staff, says:
In charge made last Friday, he was in
front of his men, when the rebel General
bearing, in an attempt to cut his way thro'
Ord's lines, was discovered by Cen. Reed,
who, recognizing an old acquaintance, be
engaged him in a hand o-hand conflict -
Before the infantry could get shot at him,
they had exchanged several shots with their
rcvolvers, and Reed fell from his horse,
dead, and DeaIing MORALLY wounded. The
fight was seen by several thousand men, be-
ing in the open field, and is one Of the most
singular incidents of the war. .

The journal Of commerce makes the fol-
lowing point
Those who approve Of mob law encour-
age assassination. This is too plain to need
demonstration. 1t seems inexplicable that
newspaper which is honest and sincerely
lamonted the death Of the late President by
the murder6ns hand of an assassin should be
so blind to the laws of mortality aud Of con-
sistency as to commend in the same columns

nate their fellow mem For the work Of d
mob when it lashes itself to fury is simply
