DEATH OF Hon. WIN, P. DANIELS,
following obituary notice of the late
VIM. P. Daniels, who died on the I'd
inst, is from the Lockport, N. Y. Daily
Bee and Union, and has been sent to US
for publication. Mr.. Daniels was born
in Leicester, Vt, Dec. 25th, 1903, and
for many years resided in the adjoining
town Of Whiting He resided for time
in Toledo, Ohio, where he erected a
large hotel and many other fine build
ings, and contributed largely to public
improvements in that city
'In the death Of William P. Daniels
our town loses another Of its pioneers,
and the community is deprived of one
Of its most useful and honored men,
bers. 1t is public and private loss.
which will be deeply felt and sincerely
deplored by large circle of friends.
No man amongst us was more univer-
sally or more Justly esteemed. Mr..
Daniels was born in Vermont in 1903.
and was nearly So years of age at the
time Of his death. He came to Lock
port at an early age--in 1822-soon
after the commencement of the Erie
canal, and nearly three years before it's
completion. At that time the site of
the town presented an almost unbroken
wilderness. From that beginning he
had seen it advance TO it's present posi-
tion as city, For forty years he has
borne an honorable part in it's annals,
and contributed largely to its growth
and prosperity. He was man Of true
public spirit, and always among the
foremost in all measures for the i'm
provement of our local advantages.
From an early period he has been
specially identified with our manufac-
turing progress.
Not to speak of other mills in which
he had been concerned as builder or
proprietor, he was the principal founder
lin connection with Messrs. Race e.
Mathews) of the present Niagara Manu-
featuring Company, and an active
trustee of the Lockport Hydraulic Com
pany and the Manufacturers Building
Company. In these and in all useful
enterprises he was ever ready, in a
liberal spirit, to cooperate with his
means, his efforts and his valuable
counsels. He found his highest pleas
ure in contributing to the prosperity
OF those around him, and in watching
the steady growth of both town and
county. In all the relations of life his
character was pure and unblemished.
de was genial AMI large-hearted, de-
voted to his family, generous to the
poor, ardent in his friendships, a true
lover Of his whole country, and above
all, Just in his dealings-"an honest

Taxation of Government Securities.

The question as to the power of
state to tax the national securities is an
old one. 1t has been decided by the Su-
preme Court OF the United States. It
has been settled question for years The
state cannot do it in violation of the
Congressional exemption. The Supreme
Court decided Weston VS.. The City Of
Charleston, 81 Peters, 449) that tax
imposed by law of any state, or under
the authority of such law, ION stock
issued for loans to the United States, is
unconstitutional. The reason is that
the United States government in the
exercise of its constitutional powers
cannot be interfered with by the state
governments; otherwise it could be
crippled, If not destroyed, at any time
by state action. 1t is not difficult to
see that if the states, North or South,
can now impose the smallest tax on
these government bonds, they can tax
them to an unlimited extent; they can
tax them out Of existence" and thus
virtually repudiate the national debt
and destroy the national credit.
State legislatures, then, can do moth
ing in the premises, and it is useless to
agitate the matter there with a view to
any valid action they can take. Con-
gress alone can repeal the exemption
and authorize state taxation Of the ma
tional bonds. Can Congress now do it?
1t is difficult to see how it can, without
such breach of faith as would greatly
damage the national credit and honor
A national necessity created the exemp-
tion. The bonds were sold at higher
figure than they would have been with
out the exemption; here the nation
reaped the benefit of the exemption; the
national debt is less than it would 9TH
erwise have been; the purchasers of the
bonds paid for the exemption, or as one
writer expresses 1t, were then taxed for
it, and the bonds passed into the hands
not only of monied men, but also Of
men and women of small means, labor
ers, widows, etc.
We repeat what we have before said.
that if these bonds could now be taxed
TO the same extent as other property,
without breach of contract or faith be-
tween the government and the purchas-
ers, we should be glad to see 1t done and
it ought to be done. But in that off"
lies the difficulty. ..f ...
But whatever may be done with these
bonds, the national necessity which
called for their exemption no longer ex-
lists with reference to any new issues
that may be authorized, and the taxa
lion of further issues, at the same rate
as other property, should be permitted.

Members of the last House.

This would make the popular pro-
slavery majority in the State about 1000.
Other returns, however are better than
this. A Cincinnati dispatch of the 18th
says that Randalls majority in the 8th
district will go over 5000. The Chica-
go Tribune says that eighty-two out Of
the one hundred and ten counties in the
State give pro-slavery majority Of only
242. A Lexington, KY, dispatch Of the
10th says that the Union men so far have
gained thirteen on joint ballot in the
Legislature. If the remaining returns
continue to come in as well for the
Emancipationists as the more recent
ones, the State will be so close that the
official vote will be needed to decide it.

II am satisfied, after careful and

repeated statement that organized bands
of rebel soldiers, under some general
officer or officer Of prominence in the
rebel service, have crossed the Rio
Grande with the intention of offering
their services to the imperial govern
ment, is not correct. No such bands
have crossed the river, and if any num-
Der of the late rebel soldiers have done
so it has been without organization, and
only for fear of punishment for out
