While the President was in
Chicago, recently, the radicals
sent committee to Gen. Grant
imploring him not to compromise
himself by accompanying the presi-
dent on his tour any farther, but
MO. With pathcra cool reception and
dropped the project. On the evening
after the arrival of Gen. Grant at
Cincinnati while at theater the
radicals went through the same pro-
yrammc but with what success the
following extract will explain.
To the chairman of the com. Gen.
Grant said:
''SlR-I am no politician The
president of the United States is

er this demonstration in opposit-
ion to the president of the United
Statcs-Andrew Johnson. If YOU

says
"fhe wisest apprehend that Johnson
not only menaces, but means civil war.
We know that he has rere atedly de-
clared that he would arrest congress if
impeachment were threatened Even
MS we write his rebel employers have
called meeting to organize new state
government in Tennessee! Will he please
to try on any one of these new fashions!
We think he would find rather u tight
/. or tit than the eel cbrated shirt of Mes
sus. And whenever he intends. IL coup
d' eiot or coupF grace, he will be &C
commodated to fair trial, alike of his
experiment and himself. The Ameri-
can people were never in So rare a hui
NOR to deal with Il new rebel or a now
civil war;
The venomous apostate uncon-
sciously discloses that the wish ly-
ing nearest his own heart is the one
which he charges the president with
entertaining. The concluding SEN
tencc of the extract, truly interpret
ted, means: The abolition party
were never so DESTROYS to inhict VEN
geance on president opposing it or
to precipitate civil war The pres
ident will be gladly accommodated,
says Forncy, if he wants a civil war
Who will accommodate him? VIII
Forney shoulder his musket? If he
pleads age as an excuse, perhaps
his son who was lately dismissed in
disgrace from the army will volun-
tecr in his behalf.
If the black republican party does
not intend to provoke war, there is
no reason nor consistency in the
manner in which they are conducting
the present political campaign. 1t
is certain that their tactics are en-
tirely consistent with such purpose
and can only be explained by such a
suppositicn. The president has
never sought conflict with them
He has merely repcllcd their assaults.
This he will continue to do. Should
they come in the shape of unlawful
violence. he will know how to meet
them. The time is, perhaps, not
far distant when he will prove both
his disposition and capacity to pun
ish traitors. Chicago Times.

The UnCOmstitutiOnality Of
the Income Tax.

A case is being prepared by a
citizen of Springfield, ILL.,, to test,
before the United States Supreme
Court, the constitutionality of the
income tax. This per son reports an
income of $50, 900, but, protesting
against the legality of the tax, de-
clines to pay it, and will, when the
usual compulsory action is brought,
ask an injunction from Judge Davis,
of the United States Court, restrain
ing the rev enue collectors from act
ing. BY this means the question
will ultimately be brought before the
highest judicial tribunal for adjudi-
cation.
The counsel who is engaged in
preparing the movement against the
income tax, makes the following
points:
1. The Federal Constitution pro-
vides (article 1, section 2, paragraph
3, that representatives and direct
taxes shall be apportioned among the
several states according to their res
pective numbers.
2. An income tax is a direct tax.
3. 1t must, therefore, be appor-
toned among the several states &C.
cording to their numbers.
4. The income tax, as now in-

blood upon every battlefield Of the

ofan immediate repeal or modif-

and is inconsistent with the revenue
laws of the United States, we are
therefore in favor of the immediate
repeal of said law, and the enact

clared their several ordinances Of

Sional ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the Union.
AS the question of the restora ton of
the states to political rights is the
only issue in the present canvass.
we shall give to Mr.. Noble our sup
port.
In his address before the conven-
ton which put him in nomination
Mr. Noble denied the radical assump-
ton of congress and it's friends. that
the south had succeeded in its efforts
TO get out Of the federal Union. In
proof of this denial, it may be asked
Of this radical Congress, when the
success ofthe rebellion was achieved.
if it was success That it was
during the time our brave soldiers
were in the field we most positively
deny, for during all this time Con-
gress permitted some of these states
to be represented in both houses of
Congress. immediately upon the
withdrawal of our forces from the
South, upon the surrender and dis
bandmcnt of the confederate armies.
Congress refuses representation to
the southern states by the very men
who were loyal enough to represent
them during the rebellion.
And during all the period that has
since elapsed, it has persisted in
declaring them to be out of the In
ion, and not entitled to recognition,
except upon the terms Congress may
exact upon their rc-admission. If
the states arc not out of the Union,
in the opinion of Congress, why does
the members Of that body, and its
representatives in every part of the
land, talk of their re-a admission?
And if they are out, when did they
succeed, but when Congress come
to act upon the work of restoration
entrusted to that body by the de-
tenders Of the flag upon thousand
battle fields?
