An IMPORTANT Bounty DECIsIoN.-The fol-
lowing communication from Hon, J. Brodhead
Second Comptroller, was addressed to the
Paymaster General on the Both of last month:
at has been brought to my notice that GER
tain claim agerts are advertising that they are
engaged iU the collection Of 'ertra boonty' from
two to three hundred dollars for soldiers who
enlisted in 1861 and '62 and all other times
wher only $l0O was paid, and are thus fraud
ulently obtaining possession Of soldiers dis
charges. In no case except that OF Veterans,
has the extra bounty referred to been author
lied, nor can it be paid without further legis-
lation, and 1t is very important that soldiers
should not part with their discharges through
misrepresentation of their rights. Iwould,
therefore, respectfully suggest the propriety
of giving official notice that in no case except
as above, is soldier who enlisted prior to
June 25th, 1863, entitled to more than 500
bounty"

Ajax ON Cotton.

The Comptroller of the currency warmly
advocates, in the report he recently trans
mitted to Congress, tax on cotton and
tobacco for the purpose of laying portion
OF the burdens of our public debt upon
foreign countries. He says that "lt Is
estimated that the cotton crop the pext
year will amout to between two and halt
and three millions of bales tax OF ten
----.s Po. pousIu 'vu -snn, 600 Ia r.
duce 100000. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that the annual crop of cotton,
after two or three years, will equal In
amount the average of the crop for few
years pevious to 1861, which was abont
four aud half millions of bales. A tax
of eight cents per pound on that quantity
would produce Sls0,G00,O00. x
Tbree-fourthsss of the crops of cotton and
tobacco are exported that proportion,
therefore, of the tax on those articles
would be paid by foreign countries, and
to that extent contribute to the liquidation
of the public dept and relief OF our owr
people" Our readers will remember that
some months ago we repeatedly urged 10
our columns, the adoption Of the policy
idicated above, and we are glad that the
attention of Congress has been oficially
directed to it, Foreign particu
larly Great Britaiu-have been pluudering
Us very effectively during the last few
years, because by the imitation of our cur
rency our market has been one of the best
in the world to sell their fabrics, and one
of the poorest to by,in, and besides Con-
tederate cruisers have crippld our COM
merce and Canada has been made a grand
depot for smuggling operatioDs'to defraud
our revenue laws. By a tax on cotton and
tobacco we should be enabled to give them
a Rowland for their Oliver and eventually
TO obtain full compensation for all the
losses they have inflicted upon US.

HORRIBLE SCENE AT AN EXECUTION.
A frightful story comes from Bauteen
Saxony concerning the execution of man
named BotuDe, who had been sentenced
to death for murder. Arriving at the top
Of the steps of guillotine, Botune, instead
of submitting to the attention of the exc
cutiouer, engaged in frightful struggle
with him and his assistant. He bit all
who came near him, and fought furiousiy

A fresh batch of men came to the assist

was impossible to get the condemned man
under the fatal knife. At last, after a
quarter of an hour passed in vehement
struggles, an exceptionally strong 6edau
dc justt e seized him by the hair and threw
him down. He was tied with the leath-
.r thongs usually employed for that pur,
pose, but more than once broke them to
pieces At last he was secured, after a

HrGE PRICE OF PAPER.-Again the combi-
nations among unprincipled spectators has
the price of paper up to the highest
point tonched during the war. When gold
was at nearly three hundred per cent, paper
was no higher than now. 1t is simply an
unnecessary and unyielding combination
among manufacturers, which keeps up the
price. No publisher of a paper can afford to
supply his subscribers at the price which they
now pay, and, unless the prices for materials
comes down, the price of subscription must
go up. Those publishers who fastened to
decrease the price as soon as the war was
over, now find themselves in An embarrassed
condition. One thing is certain; no sub
scriber should expect to receive paper un-
less it is paid in advance. -Wsst Braaeh

Removal OF the Tax ON Real Estate,

The report of the State Treasurer con-
cludes with the following important sug-
gestions, which Will meet with hearty
response, from every citizen, and which
it is hoped will be deemed by the Legls'
lature as of sufficient consequence to be
embodied into law.
Ry the estimate, hercunto annexed, of
our receipts and expenditures for the
coming year, it will be seen that our re-
ceipts are expected to reach the sum of
S5,426,0 900, and our expenditures during
the same period, be sun of S3,523 ,006.
By levying tax of one per cent, on the
ths capital of banks, and the exercise of
proper diligence in collecting our taxes
Da corporations, licenses; &c, the receipts
can readily be made TO reach So, oo0 COOS
while the expenditures. with the least
possible effort, can be reduced to S3,3O0,-
600. Under these circumstances, 1t is
worthy of serious inquiry whether the
finances Of the State are not now in a
eoDdision to dispense altogether with tnr
on real estate, leaving it to be taxed only
for county aud township purposes. 1t
should be the endeavor of the State, as
far as possible, to collect her revenue
from sources that cannot be reached by
counties and towns. At the time of
creating the last war loan, the first thing
seized upon for its repayment was real
estate and now, the war is over, why
should it not be the first to receive the
benefits of peace2 From all parts of the
country we hear the cry of high rents ;
and much of the necessity for this ad
vance arises from the high local taxation
rendered necessary to liquidate debts in
cuned By counties aud towns to pay
bounties for the war. Presuming that our
receipts will be S5,426,000 90
Our expenses 100000 90
There would be balance of 2,l26;00O 90
From which deduct tax on ...
real estate .... 100000 90
Leaving a balance of 526,O00 0O
We will still have balance in the
Treasury of S526,000 over and above all
necessary expenditures. If we add to
this a tax on banks, of 0,000, it will
give us S996, ,000-nearly a million OF
dollars to be appropriated to the redemp-
tion of the public debt. From this state,
ment, it seems clear to me that we could
get along without ievying one dollar OF
tax on the real estate of the Common
wealth. We can, at least, suspend Its
collection for year or two, until we have
tried the experiment.

Democratic Greed.

The Chicago Republican thus sums up the DEM
ocratic creed as espoused by them now. 1t says
The anxiety of the Democratic party on the sub
ject of reconstruction is not anxiety for the
maintenance of any principle, but purely for the
admission to the right of suffrage of class of their
own partizans, and for and exclusion from the suf-
frags of class who not their partizans. The
Democratic policy of reconstruction, if embodied
in the form of act of Legislature, should be
titled, Gan act to admit to the Senate and House
of Representatives certain persons who may be
elected by Democratic votes, and to prohibit all
Others, There has always :been an undisguised
contempt expressed by the Democratic party for the
term "loyalty." There has always been rea son
for this. Loyalty implied hostility to treason and
rebellion, and to make loyalty test for political
privileges would be to exclude the Democratic par
ty entirely of fifteen States and large proportion
of it in all the other States. Therefore it is that
that party struggling to maintain its numerical
strength has Indignantly repudiated the doctrine
that any man who has been armed traitor against
his country has thereby forfeited the right of being
officer Of choosing the officers of the Govern
ment he has sought to destroy.

The President and Colonel Stokes. of
Tennessee,

The whole copperhead and secession pack has
been let loose upon the intrepid Col VIM. b. Stokes
of Tennessee, because he refuses to surrender bis
judgment to "my policy" After Andrew johnson
became President. he directed that Colonel Stokes
and the other gentlemen who had been elected to
the Senate and House from Tennessee should be au-
thorzed to appoint collectors and assessors under
the internal law for the State at large and
for their respective districts Colonel Stokes accor-
dinghy named two persons, and they were duly
appointed Subsequently one of these men, who
when he was selected was, like Andeew Johnson
a radical Unicnist, became worse than a copper
head-in fact regular Tennessee secessiOnist. At
ter the Presidents order expressing his determina-
tion to prefer soldiers in his future appointments,
Colonel Stokes recommended gallant soldier in
the place Of the porson alluded TO- but he rea-
lized that he had fallen into disgrace and that his
22d Of February speech at Nashville made stimuli
taneous with the harangue of the President, on the
same day, and talking, as he supposed, in concord
with the President-wthOut knowing that johnson
had entirely changed his views-had given great
offence at the White House, not only was his recon-
mendation of the soldier in question disregarded
but two persons appointed assessor and collector
his district, in utter contempt Of his recommends
tion. This noble representative of true principles
having fought all through the war, and having
steadily co-operated with Andrew johnson, is thus
sought be made victim, for the purpose of graf
flying the revengeful enemies of the Government
in Tennessee. l understand that Colonel Stokes
is about to make statement of his relation to An
drew johnson, which will doubtless be one of the
richest revelations of the season. Washington

BFeckinridge Indicted.

wood, one was against General John C. Breckin-
ridge This is an ascertained fact and the indict-

against Mr. Davis, except that for the words Jeer-
son Davis are substituted John c. Breckinridge.-
The overt act is alleged in both instruments to have
been committed on the same day, the 18th of June,
1854. The object sought to be attained by the in
dIctment of General Breckenridge who is now in
Ganads, is to prevent his being psrdoned by the
PRESIDENT and his return to his home in the United
