to the city to hang all the traitors in row, with
Jefferson Davis at the head. Every Radical upon
his arrival here, pushes to the White House with
the inquiry, 20 Why don't you try JEFF. Davis and

REPLIES OF THE PREsIDENT-rffE SUPREME COURT.
The President replies to these opportunities that
he is not public executioner; that there some
five hundred of the accused perhaps, some of
whom are now awaiting trial by order OF Congress
or of the United States Courts. Take them, he
says and hang them if you Will but you won't

TRIAL OF MIR. DAVIS IN VIRGINIA.
Chief Justice Chase cannot now object that Vir-

Congress is now about to be brought, by Mr..
Raymond's resolution, to a decision upon the sub

the Presidents friends to cxonerate him from AL

RADICAL DIFFERENTIATION. TO EEEp THEIR POWER.
Congress, as it appears from the speeches made
by Republican members at the Indiana demon

of the President TO thwart their policy. So, hay

UNITED STATES REVENUE.

In June last, and in accordance with an
act of congress, President johnson appointed
commission. consisting of David A. Wells,
of New York; Stephen Colwell, of Pennsyl-
vania and Samuel Snowden Hayes, of Hill
nois, with E. B. Elliott, of Massachusetts, as
secretary, ito enquire and report on the best
and most efficient means of raising and COL
lecting the revenue" The committee have
made their report to congress. Ii is very
long. We find nine columns gift in the Chi
cage Times, together with the following brief
but comprehensive reference:
The whole subject of taxation has been
carefully investigated by the commission,
whose suggestions are of vital importance to
the business interests of the country. Nu-
merous, important, and radical notifications
are recommended. Among them are the fol-
owing:
reduction of the tax on distilled liquors from
s. to 81 per gallon;
An exemption from tax of all incomes less
than 81 ,000,-the tax to he FIVE per cent, on all
incomes above that sum
an increase of the tax On raw cotton from two
TO five cents per pound;
4 repeal of the taxes now levied on pig-iron
(s2 40 per ton y coal (6 cents per ton J and
crude petroleum Isl per gallon ,
Such revision of the revenue system as will
look to the entire exemption from ell direct taxa
ton of the manufacturing industry of the coun-
try;
a repeal of the tax upon leaf tobacco;
continuation of the existing tax on fermen-
ted liquors;
4 reduction of the tax on brokers' sales Of
stocks from So per 81 900 to 81 per 81 900;

Whether this bank was ever fully organized as

When some of the stockholders discovered,
over a week ago, that drafts were protested, they
commenced Investigations as TO the real condi-

iency, although none appeared on the face OF his
books, and stated that he would visit his friends
and obtain the money to meet it, and left osten-
sibly for that purpose. The majority of the
stockholders proposed to contribute funds to pay
depositors, and would have done so, had the de-
fict been as small as at first represented.
Drafts to the amount of 81, 200 have been re-
turned from st. Louis protested. A draft to the
amount of 81 100, and another of 81 600, were
returned from Chicago under protest. In all

that he was swindI;ng the parties to whom he sold
