The House Of Representatives ON
Monday gave very striking evidence
that the Democratic doctrine of and
demand for equal taxation are work
ing themselves into popular favor

gress now stands, "all bonds, coupons,
national currency, United States notes,
Treasury notes, iractionalnotes, checks

United States, certificates of indebted
ness, certificates of deposit, stamps,
and other representatives OF value of
whatever denomination, which have
been or may be issued under any net of
Congress, "aare exempt from taxation,
by or under State or municipal author

resolution was introduced, proposing
that this act shall not be so construed
as to exempt from taxation, by or
under State or municipal authority,
United States notes or certificates of
indebtedness not bearing interest
Thad. Stcyvns rose and cracked his
whip, and, declaring the resolution

FnErmAN CLARK. the Controller of
the Currency, who like all radical
financiers, cannot bear honesty, has
made nm issue with Secretary McCUL-
Locn's ), monthly statements and made
an ass, and vicious one, Of himself
His letter attests for himself the
grossest Ignorance, or an utter per-
version of facts to create in the COM
mercial and financial circles an un-
easiness as to the correctness and
honesty of the Secretary of the Treas
p,ry. He alleges that the monthly
statements of balances on hand have
been more than $50, 100000 short. of
the truth each month, and to prove it
states that the Secretary does not in
clude balances in depositoris and nd
tional banks. This he thinks he
establishes by stating the balance on
deposit in the city Of New York
and an estimate of that in other cities,
aud claiming that it all should appear
to the credit of the treasury in the
monthly statement. This is very
quietly and very effectually disposed
of by the Secretary, not in reply to
Mr.. Clark. whom he declines TO notice
as subordinate, but in statement
to the House of Representatives, in
which he shows that balances on
deposit, IN the various cities, although
in the banks credited TO the United
States, may not be actually TO the
credit, as many days may elapse be-
tween the drawing of draft on them
to pay some indebtedness and its pre-
sentation. Consequently during this
time the books of the treasury would
show money expended which the books
of the bank would show on hand. -
What would be thought of a man,
who, in making a statement OF his
affairs, stated his debts paid to the
extent he had given checks for them,
and then reported as cash credit to
himself the very money in bank that
he had checked for? This is Just what
Mr. Clark wants the Secretary to do
for whatY TO show larger balance OF
resources in this statement at the end
of each month--in other words to
make false return.
We are glad to see that Cabinet
meeting for the removal of this Free
man Clarke was considered, and that
the general impression has obtained
that he is either ignorant or wicked

stage, but because the diarrhea is
usually painless il is neglected or tri-
fed with. No one with even slight
diarrhea cholera prevailing) should
attempt TO pursue his ordinary avoca-
tons. He should go 30 bed, or at
least maintain a recumbent position,
should be covered up warm, and
should take no food, or but little, and
that very digestible. Should the di-
arrhea continue he should at once
consult his physician. Nearly every
one may have, through his medical
adviser, some simple preparation that
will check or arrest the diarrhea until
the physicians personal attendance
can be secured Nostrums either to
cure or prevent should not be taken.
Cathartics of every description should
be avoided. If cholera is communi-
cable it is probably SO through the
stools, hence all excavations of diar-
rhea or cholera should he at once re-
moved from within doors, and privies
and water closets should be kept So
diously clean and covered. A cheap
and effectual disinfectant is found in
copperas (sulphate of iron) Of this,
one pound dissolved in large pail OF
water, may be emptied occasionally
in out houses, drains and cesspools. =
No dirty water should be allowed &c
stand in tubs or slop pals, nor, if pos
sible, in streets or cutters. No exca.
vations of soil should be made, and
no privies, drains or dirt heaps should
be disturbed in warm weather. AL
this shonld be done prior to May
Many persons, in cholera epidemics
use ardent spirits more or less freely
as supposed preventative. This is
great error. Drunkards and intern.
perate persons are much more apt tc
be attacked than those of contrary
habits. 1t has been observed that
independently Of the influence of at
mospheric conditions cholera has not
ably been more prevalent on Sunday
nights and on Mondays, than on any
other nights and days Of the week.
this is undoubtedly rightly ascribef
to the intemperance and dissipation il
which many are in the habit of in
dulging on Sundays. Another error
into which many are apt to fall is t.
place themselves upon very restrict
ed diet. This is believed to be no
only unnecessary, but unjudicious.-
Plain, substantial, well-cooked meals
in which fresh animal and vegetable
food both enter, are better than a di
etary of bread, rice and salted meats
Fresh and ripe fruits and vegetable
in their season are healthful, but thu
same when crude, wilted or fermented
are at all times pernicious. The abov'
statement, it is believed, covers thu
material points pertaining to the pre-
vention and mitigation of epidcmi
cholera.

Projection FOR SALT.-The present
tariff which SO beautifully encourages
Eastern manufactures, fails entirely
as measure of protection to the salt
manufacturing interests Of this Coun-
try which are moreintimately identified
with the prosperity of the "plain peo-
pie" in the localities of Syracuse, Ka-
nawha, Saginaw and other points
where it is made than are those ariz-
ing from the production of any other
article. AS illustrating the position
OF tho salt interost i~ete tho fol-
lowing notice from a Utica, N. ".
Journal:
The NEED OF HIGHER PROTECTIVE
TARIFF FOR SALT OF the twenty eight
millions of bushels of salt annually
consumed in this country, half is i'm
ported. Most of this importation
eighty per cent, in 1864 is from
Great Britain aud her colonies. In
the event of rupture with that pow
err, the supply of this staple would,
therefore, be seriously embarrassed
But aside from the unsound policy of
being thus dependent on foreign
power, the industry of the country
and the capital already invested call
urgently for further protection. AT
the present rates of tariff and excise,
the competition of our producers with
the English is very unfavorable.-
Imported salt simply pays a tariff of
eighteen cents per hundred pounds,
when imported in bulk, and twenty
four cents when in bags. Domestic
salt pays an excise of nearly eight
cents per hundred pounds, aside from
State, county, and municipal taxation.
The different public Treasures receive
eight per cent. Of the value of the salt
produced in New York. The protec-
ton TO domestic salt, by the present
tariff, is really reduced to ten cents
per hundred pounds. In addition to
this we must consider the facts, that
the English salteries pay seventy-five
cents per day for labor, while ours
pay over two dollars; the fuel used at
the English manufactures, consider
ing its evaporation power, costs only
one-seventh as much as ours; salt is q
desirable cargo for vessels coming to
America for heavy return freights,
and is thus transported at merely a
nominal cost. This combination of
facts proves ruinous to the profits Of
salt enterprises in this country. The
protection afforded by the high pre-
MUM on gold is now gone. Exten-
sive works in mansof the States have
been abandond on account of foreign
salt controlling the market.
The capacity of the country for this
enterprise is unlimited; and with suffi-
cient protection, native works can
supply our consumption. The tax up
on Salt is now the smallest paid by
the American people, and can easily
bemade source ofrevenue. tits esti-
mated that doubling the present rate
of tariff, would diminish the importa-
ton two millions of bushels, not only
afiording a fair degree of protection,
but increasing the revenue by mil
! lion and a half Of dollars. The pro-
duction of salt employs thousands of
laborers and millions of capital, while
its transportation furnishes a large
proportion of the business of our State
canals. All the interests involved de-
mand further protection.

Farming in South America.

A correspondent of the N. Y.
Times gives an account of farm, in
the neighborhood of Buenos Ayres,
which is a province itself. 1t is
owned and managed by Senior Don
Jose de UrguIza, and contains five
hundred and seventy-six thousand
acres. This is all in one body, but
he has other farms besides this in
other sections of the country. On
approaching the residence of the
proprietor an avenue, eleven miles
long. shaded with trees, is passed
through = the land on each side
being in high state of cultivation
The grounds in the immediate vicin-
ity of the home mansion are stocked
with apples, pears, apricots, necta-
rines, grapes, pomegrannates, quinc-
es, figs, bananas, oranges, and lem
ons in rich profusioR. The vegeta-
BILE grounds. are On corresponding
scale and equally varied in their
products. The animals sent to the
hcme slaughter house annually aver
age fifty thousand head of cattle,
and sheep in proportion. His focks
are so numerous as to require sever
al vessels to convey the wool to the
English market each year. His stud
is on corresponding scale, having
horses enough on hand to mount the
cavalry of large army. So numer-
Gus are his employees or dependents
that he can place in the field at once
an army of twenty thousand men
anxious to execute his commands
This is probably the most extensive
individual agricultural establishment
on the Western Continent.
