General Sheridan, who commands the
Union forces in the Southwest, has issued
an order, at New Orleans, requiring all
persons emigrating to Mexico to provide
themselves with passports. This order is
interpreted to be for the purpose Of stop
ping late rebels from going to Mexico to
in the colonizing schemes Of Maury and
other prominent lights Of the late Confed-
eracy. If that solution is correct, we
would like to see the passport restriction
removed without delay. Instead Of pre-
venting the Southern implacables from
going to Mexico. il would be far better to
give them encouragement to SO there. It
is desirable, for two or three reasons, that
the class in question should have ample
facilities for getting o u of the country.
They are not workers, md therefore their
absence would cause no loss to the pro-
ductive interests Of the South. Sensible
Southern men have resumed their old
vocations, but these fellows who are not
willing to live under Yankee rule never
did anything but foment trouble, and their
absence would therefore be a good thing.
Then again they would, of course, carry
on their old practices in Mexico, doing no
work, but plotting rebellion in the land Of
Macmillan. In that way, they would
give Max. q great deal Of trouble, and
perhaps induce that digui,ary to hasten
his departure for his old home in Austria.
The better way is to leave the gates Of
emigration open, so that all who want to
try the colonization business in Mexico
may have ample opportunity. There is
no danger that desirable Southern citizens
will leave the country, but If an occasional
one should be induced to 90 to Mexico, he
would very soon be glad to get back. We
hope General Sheridan will let down the
bars, and allow the black sheep to pass
over into the Mexican pasture.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says
that the Commonwealth and some less OBJ
scure paper have pretended to discredis
the statement of the Republican, that Gen.
Howard had denied the report that he
read the Freedmen's Bureau Bill to the
President, and obtained his approval Of it
before its passage by Congress. General
Howard has now written a letter to Gen.
eral Fiske, repeating this denial, which he
had before made privately. This public
denial is called out BY the repetition Of
the story by Governor Brownlow, in a
speech at Knoxville, and General Howard
says:
MANY papers have said that I read the
bill to the President. Now the Governor
asserts that you and I read it to him Sec
ton by section. BE (the Governor) has
been misinformed. I sent my report to
the President recommending substantially
many things embraced in Senator Trum-
bulls bill. I did onvers with the Presi.
dent with regard to these recommends.
tons, but never read or discussed the said
bill with him before its passage. 1t is due
to the President and to truth to correct
the statements that are now so currently
reported"

INouIslroRIAL TAxEs.-Professor Gold
win Smith, Of England, has written q letter
to a friend in the United States, in which
he gives the history Of the English income
tax, and condemns its inquisi,orial nature.
Prof. Smith says the tax was FIRST resorted
to BY Mr.. Pitt, in 1897, but was consider
ed only as q war measure, being repeated
during the short intervals of peace in the
long course Of wars with Napoleon. At
the termination Of these wars the English
Government attempted to retain the tax,
but was defeated in Parliament. Until
1912, England was without an income
tax, when Sir Rober, Peel resorted to il
in q financial emergency TO supply a deficit
in the revenue caused by reducing some
Of the duties on imports. Since then it
has been continued. but the Professor says
a large party have opposed is-because it
pressed unfairly upon different kinds OF
incomes because Of its inquisitorial char
aeter and the arbitrary power given the
the E~xchequer in assessing it; and because
it demoralized the people BY inducing
them to make false returns. In England,
the rate Of income tax is sixpence IN the
pound, or two and one-half per cent. In
the United States the tax is from FIVE to
ten per cent. Income taxes, besides being
open to the objections mentioned above,
have another great fault. They press
more heavily than any other tax upon
persons with small incomes. The tax on
sugar or coffee or wearing apparel is d.
vided throughout the year. Each time an
article is bought a small portion Of tax is
paid ; so small that the consume scarcely
feels it. The income tax, however, Is al
paid at once, and the man with q small
income feels far more keenly the payment
of twenty-five or thirty dollars income
tax, all at once, than he does the payment
Of perhaps twice the amount, distributed
in ,nnumerable small expenditures, paid
throughout the year.

TIE BLAsDEL PARrY.-On Tuesday

reply:
ScHBLL CREEK, May IS, 1866.

BALTIMORE CONFERENCE, Na e. CHURCH

BALTIMORE CONFERENCE, M E. CHURCH.
Saturday Conference resu1pd an examina-
ton Of effective elders OF heVirginia Dis
trict, John Lanahan, presiding elder, gave an
account of his interview with i number Of
preachers of his district, who haze since with
drawn from the connection, aud aBo acted with
insincerity as preachers. Some q the leaders
of them indulged in unfounded aid false rep
reservations about the Baltimore Conference,
and did all they could to prevent tie return of
them to the Baltimore Conference He soon
found that all hope Of reconciliation with
them was groundless. He gave detailed ac-
count Of the difficulty which occurAd in the
church at Winchester, which was heard with
much interest. He said that the military off :
Ger in command merely notified one OSthe dis
contented preachers that he must notinterfere
with the worship in that church on the coca
sion Of the next service. He also said that in
another church in the Virginia District a.
preacher entered it with some OF Mosby's
men, interrupted the service, sang. hymns
boisterousy, drank whiskey or something else
from bottles, and gave cheers for Jeff: Davis.
Many preachers opposed return to thBsCo
ference, acting in opposition to large majority
of the people. AS their great Idol OF slavery
had fallen, he was disposed to be tender with
their feelings It had been said that he hoped
the day would soon come when he could walk
arm In arm with negro to the polls and sacra
ment; and but for his regard for the character
of Methodism, he would open basket Of facts
that, no matter how heavily they may bear i'm
mediately around him, would vindicate his en-
tire course In the Virginia District
The general question Of admission of min.
isters'' was taken, up and the Rey. Thomas H.
Haynes, of the Southern Church; Rev. Mr..
Grant, Of the Eastern Virginia district; and
Rev. George Crossfeld, of the Niagara &C..
