that no monument intended to commemo-
rate the late rebellion shall be erected
within the limits Of. this military Divi-

dissolved and prohibited, whether held III

Rrxn1sa. Pa. JULY l9.-The Democrats

RExD1No, Pa, July 19.-The Democrats
held great meeting yesterday, which
was addressed BY Montgomery Blair, Geo.
Fl. Pendleton, and others. Blair predict
ed that should the Radicals carry the Oc-
|tober elections there would the establish
lment of two Presidents and two Con-
crosses, for the Radicals would immedi-
ately impeAch President johnson and turn
him out, while ON the other hand the Dem
~ocratic members of Congress would unite
with the regularly elected members from
the South. He also warned bis hearers
that they were on the eve of another civil
war. The battlefield would be in the
North, while the South would remain q
unit.
This prediction seems to bear some
weight, coming as it does from 50 respon.
sible a source. But suppose President
johnson, in such a case, should call upon
the South for assistance, would it be Civ.
en-? Certainly, it is a delicate question
to answer, but it is very fair to presume
that the President with the Northern dem
ocrats could not cope alone with the Rad.
icals !; hence the strong probability Of
calling in assistance from the South.

DEATH OF A RE,lARKAB1E Old M

Death OF A REMARKABLE OLD Ne
GRo.--The Norfolk Day Book says:
"Tony Nelson, an old negro man,
died, near Suffolk, and was buried,
on the 4th instant, in the ninety
fourth year OF his age This old man
was formerly servant i'll the Wash
ington family, and helped to cut
what is known as the Washington
ditch, canal leading from the
Western margin Of the Dismal Swamp
to Drummond's Lake, an enterprise
which was projected by Gen. Wash
ington. Tony had never lived during
his life two miles from the Dismal
Swamp, and most OF his time in the
swamp. He has been the husband Of
twcnty-one wives, six of whom are
now living, and yet. in his extreme
old age and last sickness, no one Of
them would nurse him. Being freed
by the proclamation of the Presi-
dent, and subsequent action Of the
State, he died in extreme poverty"

\ grumbler explains the present
system of raising revenue as follows:
''Now, you see, in the first place, they
get the hang of feller's business.
That is taxed. Then they find out
how much he earns every month,
and that's taxed. Then they find out
all about his profits, and on that they
lay their tax. Then they manage to
get some tax on what he owes. Next
comes what they call income, and
that's taxed. Then, if anything is
left, the preachers calls around and
get it to sustain the church and con-
vert the heathen."

The Homcstead Ln.y.

The Homestead Law.
In our article on the reckless dona-
ton of the public lands by Congress,
we referred to what is called She
tEhomesteadla law, which has been passed
by Congress, and, we regret TO say,
approved by the President. AS our
readers may not be aware of its OBJ
jectionable features, we will, there
fore notice some of them.
1t appropriates public lands in five
Soutke,m States, viz: Arkansas, Ala
bama, Florida, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, to the extent of 46, 1893, 54S
acres. These lands are Withdrawn
from the market, and, until the first
of January, 1867, are open only to
loyal settlers; and, after that, they
will be open to all. The bill prohi-
bits all who participated in the rebel
lion from setting their foot on this
domain until the date above named.
This, we presume, is making trea-
son odious," and is intended as a
modified punishment on unrepentant
md unreconstr,lcted rebels!
This is great wrong concep-
ton of radical malignity towards the
Southern people-and how the Pre-
sident, who has stood between the
Southern people and our adversaries,
was induced to give his assent to this
indignity and injury, inflicted on the
people of the South by his own as
we'll as our enemies, we cannot ina
gine. 1t gives the occupancy Of 4
rich domain, lying in the Southern
States, to a parcel of Northern land
sharks, and to the freedme n-the lat
ter of whom, it may be readily
guessed, will not receive the lion s
share in this princely donation.
It is plain that, before the expira-
tion of the time specified, every acre
of this vast territory will be taken
up by either the one class or the
other to whom we have alluded. In
deed, it is stated that the clause ex-
Guiding rebels for six months, was
inserted ION the assurance of the
managers of the Freelmen's Bureau,
that this space of time would be suf-
ficient to accomplish the oljec1 IF tie
biU"
Such is the legislation to which the
South is subjected, and there is no
remedy to suggested. Her people,
excluded from having any part in
that legislation, are powerless to ac-
complish anything in defence of their
own rights under the Constitution
and, until faction and fanaticism are
overthrown in the halls of Congress,
they must continue to endure and
suffer.

ing, and q third with petit larceny.
A refreshing rain fell over large
portion Of this District on Tuesday.
The visitation was timely, as the nm
usually poor crops must have been
still further damaged without it.
We have never seen set of men
more completely disheartened than
the majority of the farmers of this
District appear to he in regard to
their crops. Our own observation
convinces us that they have reason to
be so. The soil has not been properly
titled, and we much fear will not be,
until we can again regulate the labor
OF the country, and extort work from
it.

The TAX on INCOMES. Although
the revenue of the Government
amounted to $500, 900, 600 last wear
thus largely exceeding the official
estimates, Congress has not relieved
the people of any portion of their
income tax. Those who make more
than 5000 a year must still pay five
per cent. lax upon the excess. Even
in tax ridden England, the income
tax is reduced when the revenue is
larger than the estimates.
