Internal Revenue Ratios.

The table of internal revenue derived
from the different States, recently published
shows tho proportion OF woalth to tho pop
u!ation which exists in each State, and
hence tho proportional profits OF capital to
each. Contrary to expectation, Now York
does not exhibit the highest ratio, for its
twenty-four millions os taxes. divided among
its population of noarly four million, give a
tax of only ss6 25 to each individual. Pom.
sylvania with nearly thirteen million taxes,
divided among about three millions of pop.
uIation, gives $46O to each person. Mass.

According to these ratios, Rhode Island is
richer per capital than any other State in
the Union, or, in other words, capital there
is moro remunerative, and wealth more ac-

TIE LAST VOICES for slavery in the Con.
gress of tho United States were raised by
Benjamin and Fernando Wood, A writor
in commenting upon tho passage of the
anti-slavery amendment to tho Constitu-
tion. thus alludes TO the fact:
1T seemed fitting thing that, in this
last struggle for its life. slavery should have
no loyal men to wage battle for il. and OF
all its supporters il was eminently appro-
priato that Fernando Wood and BrDjamin
Wood should cast the last votes in the Uni-
ted States Congress, to save. the life of the
demon which has 30 nearly destroyed our
national existence. When the yeas and
nays were taken on that hnal vote which
virtually abolished slavery, these names
came last on the list of tho opposition, and
as their replies came, mo, ,""No. the corpse
of slavery was lowered to its grave, and ihe
echo of their sulleu voices went With it to
the tomb"
