The Prospects Of the Crops.

The Commissioner of Agriculture SAWS
of the crops that the statements relative
to their present condition are, as is usual
at this time of the year, conflicting. But
it is believed that while the severe cold
has killed the tops Of the wheat unpro-
tected generally by snow, the roots have
not been killed, nor subjected to leaving
out to the extent usual in severe winters,
as apprehended by many persons.
The Ohio FGTT1er says: As the spring
advances, the fact is clearly developed
that tee wheat crop throughout the entire
country has suffered severely-perhaps
quite rs severely in Ohio as in any
other State. Farmers are everywhere
ploughing up the fields and preparing
them for spring grains. Our own obser-
walton, confirmed by gentlemen from all
parts Of the state, leads US to the conclu-
sion that the crop in Ohio will fall below
one-half At average one. In the interior
towns, the local wheat and flour markets
have already begun 70 feel the effects of a
prospective short crop, and the towns-peo-
pie complain of the strong advance
which Is demanded from them bv the
dealers and millers The supply Of old
MHeat : toAhPaittNe shoItr anu TIE
prospect Is that We must all make up our
minds 10 eat high priced wheat bread.
Putting all reports together, and max
ing due allowance for the annual season
Of c~rop-croaking, We are led to believe
that the yield PER sore, throughout the
whole wheat region of the country, viii
fall below an average, and that a short
crop Of fall wheat must be set down as a
fact to be faced this year.

The Plain Dealer, after copying the ex-
bibit of the advertising business of the
LEADER fer the last nine months, as COM
pared with that of the Herald and Plain
Dealer combined, makes the following
remarks. The exhibit which the Plain
Dealer makes is certainly very creditable,
and, although not as large as that of its
contemporaries, shows, in consideration of
the unfavorable circumstances under
which it has started, CREST enterprise, and
gives the brightest promise Of future bust
ness success. The politics Of the Plain
Dealer are detestable. butt business man
agement is excellent:
just one year ago this day, the Plain
Dealer passed into The hands Of the pres
emf management. At that time its pub
LEGATION had been suspended for several
weeks. Its obituary notice had been writ
ten, and the Plain Dealer was thought to
be numbered among the things that were.
We purchased the establishment, and
found it in such q shape that to have com
menced anew would have been more ben
efcial 10 Us. We Immediately commenced
the work of breathing life into the con
Germ. How We have succeeded the public
know, for the fact is now well established
that the Daily, Tri-Weekly and Weekly
Plain Dealer has as large Il subscription
rs l. enjoyed in its palmy days, under the
control of its former sprightly and talen-
ted proprietor, j. W. Gray. The fact
that business men see that it is TO their
advantage to use its columns as q medium
of communication with the public is shown
by the steady increase Of its advertising
patronage. We subjoin a statement OF
our cash advertising receipts for the sew
eral months the paper has been in our
hands, which will indicate to the public
the steady and reliable growlhof the Plain
| Dealers business.

Thc EnRnInn In

1t should be remembered by taxpayers
that the LIST of May is the time fixed by
the Internal Revenue law for the return
of schedules of incomes to the Assistant
Assessors. The amended law of March
3, 1865, is still in force, and it is officially
announced that the assessment of this
year will be made in accordance with its
provisions, regardless of any action OF
Congress on the new Tax bill Just report
ed to the House. The Senate refused to
concur in the House resolution providing
for an extension of time for two months,
in order to permit the new law to 20 into
operation. Taxpayers, therefore, are re-
quired to furnish their schedules TO the
Assistant Assessors in their respective dis
tricts on or before Tuesday next. The
Assessor is under no legal obligation to
send blank forms he may do so as an act
of courtesy, obtain the blanks, fill them
up and return them. In case of neglect
or refusal, the Assessors are empowered
to make the return and to add Il penalty
of twenty-five per cent, or, in case OF
fraud, to ada one hundred per cent. to the
amount ascertained tc be due.
The duties on incomes are payable with
III SlALy udNb dlIGI LIZ ICIlLL VI lllc EtutQ'
ule TO the assessor-that is, on or before
the 3Oth day of June. The income must
be reckoned for the year ending Deem
Der 81, 1865, and the tax is ) per cent. on
all sums between 5000 and $4,000, aud 10
per cent. on excess e $4,000. The de-
auctions permitted are /. The sum o.
5000 from all incomes; 2. All national,
state, county and municipal taxes paid
within the year, Including the income
tax paid last summer ;. The amount
paid for rent, or the rental value Of any
homestead occupied by the taxpayer Of
his family, in his own right orin the right
of his wife; 4. The amount paid for usual
or ordinary repairs, taking the average Q.
the preceding five years. These are al
the deductions that can be made.
The income tax is q lien upon property
if not paid within the time fixed by law.
and the collectors are invested with full
powers to take legal proceedings for dis
traint and collection. The pro~pcrObsecv
anee of the time and manner of payment
will therefore save the taxpayer muci
trouble.

The proposition before the Iowa Legis-
lature to amend the constitution, by eras-
ing the word Hwhite7 from the article or
sIfrage, has passed both houses Of the
Legislature.
General Gary, of Cincinnati, the would
be Internal Revenue Collector OF the Sec
ond Ohio District, publishes a card deny
ing that he ever made a speech accusing
Andrew johnson Of being a drunkard.
That may all be very true but, notwith-

to both Clymer and Geary.
]. W. Throckmorton and George W.
Jones have been invited by a number OF
influential citizens of Texas, headed by
John Hancock, TO stand as the johnson
candidates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor.
Governor FairchiId, of Wisconsin, Is in
Washington TO push the appointment of a
radical postmaster for Fon du Lac, which
Office will soon be vacated by resignation.
The appointment was lately made in &C.
cordance with the Governors views, but
was subsequently withdraw at the urgent
| request of Wisconsin johnson Republi-
cans, on the ground that the aPpointee

James P. Luse, Esqu editor Of the La

from the Office of postmaster of that city
for not supporting amy policy Mr..
Luse, (who is brother-in-law Of Dan
Voorhees,, but not tho slightest kin politi-

Of the staunchest and most persistent I'm

ence, regardless of his official safety, to the
principles which carried the country
through the war, and upon which the
hopes Of our future tranquility depend,

moval.
Colonel Taggart, of Philadelphia, a SOL

of Collector of Internal Revenue, simply
ecause he insisted that a johnson paper

using our columns.
The advertising receipts of both our CO.

ceipts Of the Plain Dealer, but tho fact
that they publish tD0 editions 90 our one
both being morning and evening dai
lies-takes away TO scwe extent, the pres
/ tge OF their success. We do not mention
this fact in any spirit Of envy, for We are
heartily glad to see our neighbors pros
pering in business, but TO indicate our
surprise that the Plain Dealer is making
-1ch rapid strides toward equality with
its competitors, who have the advantage
D.. being more fully in accJri WITH the yU-
itieal views Of a majority Of our business
men than is the Plain Dealer. It affords
US, in this connection, much pleasure 20
tate that most Of our business men are
free from the bigotry which would COM
pei them to ostracise a paper from
their patronage, because it diff
fers from their political views.
They know that through the Pain Dealer
they can reach thousands Of people, who
10 not take either of the other city

are glad 70 see that cur business men APP

that of the PLaia Dealer. Advertising
has brought business 10 our city, and we
nope that advertisers will continue TO use
the columns Of all our city papers literally
md freely, and thus, not only in
crease their efficiency, but bring to our
sity additional trade, thus beneftting all

We do not desire TO appear b~oastful,

o. THE CUBAN TELEGRAPH BILL
During a brief debate in the Senate
this morning, on the House amendment
to the Cuban Telegraph Bill, limiting the
time for the construction of the proposed
line, Mr.. Sherman said it was evident
that there must soon be a revolution in
the method Of managing the telegraph
lines of the country, which are now max
ing immense profits, their annual receipts
equaling the entire cost Of ibe lines. Ex-
perience had shown that this mode of
communication was cheaper, and required
the employment of less capital, than any
mode before known. Within a year or
two the tariff of charges must be greatly
reduced, perhaps by the Government as
the control Of all the lines, in
which event the rates would diminish as
postal rates have diminished. The Sen
Ate non-eoncurred in the House anend-
ment, and asked for a Committee of Con-
ference.
