SIGNIFICANT.

The action of the Republican State
Convention in endorsing President John
son aud most cordially sustaining his re
construction policy is a most significant
indication. Kansas, too, last week
through Senator Lane, sends forth her
words Of hearty cheer and earnest sup
port Of President johnson and so all
over the country. The people wan. to
treat the rebels as traitors, aud rot as
foreign foes they want treason against
the nations life made odious, and all
such pernicious doctrines like State Rights
Secession and other played out dogmas
stamped as subsersive Of the Constitution
and destructive to the Union. Let Us
treat JEFF. Davis as a traitor, aud when
he is convicted, hang him high as Hannah
as an example for all coming time tina,
''treason is a crime" But let, US dc
all this under the broad shield Of our flag,
with all its stars and stripes shining re-
splendent glory, and not cut up to suit
capricious tastes ana dogmatic principles
Of a lev ~erratic Statesmen.
The people want all the States under
the Constitution ; they want a Union
every where in the country, with no for
eisn nation like the conquered Southern
Copfederacy polluting the land. Tins
the people think and in New Hampshire
and Kansas, at the first opportunity they
tell US so by endorsing the President, sus.
tanning his reconstruction policy, and
proclaiming their faith that Secession is
not a. right to be exercised at will or
that any State can 90 out of the Union
at pleasure.

FOREIGN NEW $,

Detailed account Of the capture OF
Bagdad have been received from Browns
Vile but they need further confirmation
before they can be fully credited. They
assert that tie party capturing the town
consisted of 123, mostly colored soldiers,
belonging to the 18th U. S, Colored
Infantry. The report that a detachment
of United States troops, was sent over to
protect the American citizens is confirm
ed. New difficulties have arisen between
Gen. Weitzel and Gen. .Mejia.
The latest accounts from the City of
Mexico, though coming from 1mperialist
sources. are untavorable to the cause OF
the Empire. The Imperial garrison in
Acapulco are starving. The native pop
~ulstion have all abandoned the city, after
destroying or inutulizing the wells. AL
varez is indefatigable in harrassing the
French, and the rocky ground allows him
to infict large damages without receiving
any. 1t is admitted that be has induced
a considerable number Of lmperialists to
desert. 800 men have been sent
in a Fren CHI man of.war to Bagdad, and
it was supposed that the Imperialis,s
would soon re occupy the place.
The Captain General of Cuba has fit
ted up his country seat for Mr.. Stewards

Tax on Sales,

The Internal Revenue taxes, combined
with the high prices Of labor, more than
counterhalance the protection derived by
many of our manufacturers from the ex-
listing tariff, and the benelits which would
otherwise flow from it are thus in some
cases neutralized. Among the measures
proposed for their relief, and for the gen.
eral benefit of the industrial interests of
the country. a tax on sales has been sug
gested as a new mode of raising reveuuo,
which might be advantageously substituted
for the present taxes on manufacture and
incomes. The commercial transactions Of
this country are so extensive that a very
slight tax upon them would yield an euor.
nous revenue. A large proportion OF our
annual agricultural products, manufactures
aud foreign imports are sold repeatedly
before they reach their consumers, and the
sales of real estate and stocks mount in
he aggregate to very large sum. The
returns CT the clearing houses of a few
leading cities afford an index to the vol
ume of the commercial movement of the
whole Union. One OF the FIRST necessities
of such a tax would be that it should be
light, so that it would not seriously check
the frequency of transactions. The prop
o%sition will no doubt receive careful con-
sideration before it is adopted !; but if it
shall clearly appear that the financial ne
e~ess'tes Of the nation can be provided for
by substituting for a portion of our pres
ent internal revenue system, a slight tax
on all sales or receipts, the suggestion may
prove worthy of practical test. 1t is said
that the Congressional Committee N Ways
and Means is now discussing the propriety
of such a tax as we have described, not to
exceed three quarters Of one per cent
