The Difference.

For the four years past, Democratic
editors have been arrested and their pa
pers suppressed at the instance of Jacobin
editors. Now the tables are turned.
Postoffices are taken from Radical edi-
tors by the President, at the request Of
Democratic editors, and given to true
Union men-at leat, our experience JUS
tifes such conclusions. We called the
other day upon President Johnson and
requested the removal from the Postofiice
in this city of Mr. Emery, editor of the
Radical organ, and the appointment Of
Hon. Isaac Underhill in his stead, who
is true Union man, sound patriot, and
with all good johnson man. This is
the beginning in this District, but not
the ending. Every Radical Federal
Office holder will be called upon to vacate
in similar manner before the setting
of an August sun. We now give notice
to our Radical friends that our day is
coming, and while we propose to be
lenient with them, extending in all cases
the full freedom of speech and the press,
but one thing they cant do, and that is,
use the cream drawn from the public teat
to smite the hand that milks it in their
mouth Take notice, gentlemen, and
be governed accordingly. Peoria Demo

The Income Tax.

The New York Post, of Friday, 'gives
the following valuable and pertinent con-
densation of the law and the facts on
this interesting subject
1t should be remembered by tax
payers that the lst 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 assess
ment of this year will be made in accord
ance with its provisions, regardless of
any action of Congress on the new Tax
bill just reported to the House The SEN
ate refuses to concur in the House reso-
luton providing for an extension of time
for two months, in order to permit the
new law to 60 into operation. Tax-pay-
ers, therefore, are required to furnish
their schedules to the Assistant Asses
sors in their respective districts 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,
but it is the business of the taxpayers to
find his office, 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 penalty
of twenty-five per cent, or, in case OF
fraud, to add one hundred per cent. to
the amount ascertained to be due.
The duties on incomes are payabl
within sixty days after the return Of the
schedule to the Assessor-that is, on or
before the Both day of June The income
must be reckoned for the year end
ing December 81, 1865, and the tax is 5
per cent on all sums between 5000 and
$4,000, and 10 per cent on the excess
over $4,000. The deductions permitted
are !: /. The sum of 5000 from all incomes;
q All National, State, county and mum
cipal taxes paid within the year (includ-
ing the income tax paid last summer)
3. The amount paid for rent, or the
rental value of any homestead occupied
by the taxpayer or his family, in his own
right or the right Of his wife; A. The
amount paid for usual or ordinary re-
pairs, taking the average of the preced-
ing FIVE years. These are all the deduc-
tions that can be made.
The income tax is 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 proper OBJ
servance of the time and manner of
payment wlltherefore save the taxpayer
much trouble.

had better turn Brownlow out Of
Office, and elect some such man as Trigg
or East in his place. All the Radicals
from Sumner TO Horace Greeley de-
nounce Brownlow as o mere time-server
whose Radicalism springs from a hope
that it will keep him in his pleasant GU
bernatorial berth.
The President regards the fracas in
the General Assembly as unfortunate.
He was bitterly opposed to the secession
of any part of the members-particularly
of his own friends. He is against the
project Of Brownlow for the establish
ment of separate State out of East
Tennessee. At the same time he thinks
that it is for the people to DECIDE for
themselves, not for him, as to what is
best to be done. He is no longer Gov
ernor of Tennessee, but President of all
the States. There is no doubt, | think,
that if the people in their primary ca
pacity, should hold Convention and
reform their Government, that he would
refuse to sustain Brownlow in suppress
ing such movement by force. As far
as the majority in the Legislature is con
cerned, he regards it as an ignorant rab.
BILE who ceuld be easily disposed of by
the right means. But he is very taci-
turn, and rightly so, on this subject, and
does not wish to be drawn into its dis
cussion

An ElsctrO-Magustie Car Brake.

The French Academy has awarded a
prize of twenty-five hundred francs to NJ
Achard, an engineer of Paris, for an
electro magnetic brake, but refrains
from recommending its adoption. IL it
were worth a prize it ought to have been
worth a trial
Important experiments with this in
vention were recently tried on the South
western Railway, in England On the
train we're numerous directors and Off
GERS Of the principal companies, and a
printed programme was furnished 10
each, to enable him TO understand the
various signals, and the rapidity and &C
curacy with with which they would be
obeyed. The experiments proved en-
tirely successful, and the rapidity in the
transmission Of the signals was scarcely
more admired than the accuracy Of their
Interpretation. The original cost of the
apparatus for each car was fifteen dol
lars, and the expense Of keeping 1t up
was represented as only triaing. The
magnetic circuit is completed by wire
extending outside Of the car, and the

Get Over the Scare.

John Mitchell, in his last letter from
Paris to the New York NepS, gives the
following information, which will be
grateful to the lovers and dealers in hog
meat
hope you are not troubling yourselves
over there about the h'ichin0Sis. 1t is a
matter of little or no consequence. The
French Government lately sent two
learned commissioners to Germany TO
examine into the affair and make a report
They were Monsieurs Delpech, Professor
Of the Faculty of Medicine at Paris, and
Regnal, Professor in the great Veterinary
establishment at Abort They have re-
turned and published their report 1t ap-
pears by this report that the cases Of
disease produced by trichines in the hog
population itself are a very small per
centage For example, in Hanover, dur
ing twenty-one months, of 10000 hogs
there were but eleven affected. In
Brunswick the proportion was greater
l6 out of l4,000 The cases of human
beings attacked by the trichine are also,
it seems, very few on the whole The
causes of these latter, say the commits
sioners may be traced to the dirty habit
common in Germany of devouring raw
bacon, or sausages imperfectly cooked.
They report against any particular gov
ernmental measure being taken IN
France on the subject; because here,
they say, people are in the habit of cook
ing their bacon we'll And apropos of
bacon, the great ham fair of the Fau-
bourg St Antoine has just taken place
here, and there were plenty Of buyers and
sellers-nobody thought of the little
trichines. So pyramids of hams from
