tives Of the great Republican party, with
large majorities in each branch Of Congress,
should have so neglected the legitimate busi-
ness Of the country for which they were sent
to the national capital as is shown above,
and frittered away the time in making abus-
i've speeches against TIE President; in con-
cocting charges that have no foundation in
truth; in framing resolutions Of inquiry that
only produced evidence Of their own folly
and blindness and wickedness; in sending
committees over the country to investigate
murders and riots, the reports Of which have
only confounded the inventors and vindicated
The PRESIDENT, whom they intended to strike
down. To crowd upon The President the
mass Of financial measures mentioned above
for his examination, within the few remain.

Of in the history Of the American Congress.
Let the people take note Of it.

Stupendous Frauds,

Mr.. DARLING, of New York, from the
special committee of investigation on frauds
in the payment and collection Of the internal
revenue on distilled spirits, tobacco, and
cigars, reported yesterday that the most
stupendous frauds are practiced in the collec-
ton of the revenue on the articles named,
especially spirits. 1t is believed that seven
eighths Of the entire amount of spirits manu-.
factured, under the present law, have es-
capped taxation, and that few, if any, of the
large distilleries in the United States now in
operation are doing legitimate business.
The tax on distilled spirits is so per gallon,
while it is sold openly in the market at
prices ranging from Sl.50 to $l.80 per gallon.
The evidence taken by the committee also
shows much evasion Of the tax on cigars 1t
appears that the authorized practice of
stamping cigars without the actual payment
Of the tax is q means Of fraud. Various rec
concentrations are made by the committee
for the remedy of the evils set forth in the
report and accompanying evidence.
The committee recommend reorganiza-
tion Of the revenue force in New York, Phil
adelphia, and Brooklyn, and conclude by
saying: 1T is manifest that frauds cannot
be practiced so generally and so openly with.
out either connivance or gross inefficiency
on the part of large number of the revenue
officers"

The Income Tax.

The changes made in the income tax, or
proposed to be made in it, are praised, but
hey amount to nothing as relief to the poor,
while they do relieve the rich by exempting
arge incomes from taxation. Instead Of the
5000 exemption, 81 900 will be exempted;
but as this includes all exemptions, while
under the old mode other exemptions were
allowed, the relief is nominal, not real Ac.
;ording to one account other exemptions are
made. 1t is possible that some persons will
save $40 year through the change and a
arger number S5-but this is by no means
,ertain. On the other hand, the abolition Of
The 10 per cent. tax above $4,000 affords q
great deal OF relief to the suffering rich, the
very people who do not need relief A man
With an income of 900 year, on s2O,O 900
II which 10 per cent. is levied, will, should
he change be made, pay $1,000, instead of
$1,000. He will save thousand dollars an
nually. We are not for taxing rich men
merely because they are rich; but the coun-
,ry needs money terribly, and il taxation
lust be severe, it is better that it should
ear hard upon the rich than upon the poor
because the poor man who pays large tax
ut Of small income really makes a sacri-
'ce, whereas the rich man who is highly
lxed makes no sacrifice that can harm him
Ie does not save so much money as he
Sould under a moderate system Of taxation,
ut he parts with none of the comforts or
IXuries Of life because his tax bills are
heavy. Prorerty's protection is the cause of
most of the cost of government, and hence it
fair that properly should pay handsomely
oward making up the funds necessary to
protect it. The income tax ought to be
'bOlished, for it is an impost that properly
'elongs only to time of war.-Boston

Surratt.

In the beautiful city OF Naples Surratt
went boldly and declared himself to the
British Consul, The perfdious sympathy of
the attaches of the country that wishes us
no success gave him relief and dispatched
him to Malta Here he would probably have
enlisted as q British soldier, the natural po.
sition for an American assassin. The light
ming, as Of heaven pursuing, followed him
through the bottoms Of the sea. British fear
and gall could not shelter him, but would
not give him up. So he continued to Alex
andria, and when the walls and battlements
broke into view, the tall shaft of Pompeys
Pillar, CleOpatra's beautiful needle, the cam
els and dragomans, and oriental sails, the
far pyramids, much that Abraham and Jo-
seph had looked upon, justice came out to
take the murderer at last, and the long hunt
was over.

VIM. Tell.

q. G. HAzEwELL, in the Boston Traveller,
writes as follows:
A gentleman of the name of Gould has
written book to show that the tale of VIM.
Tell is nothing but q story, something like
that in which an amiable she.wolr, with the
sentiment of maternity strongly developed,
gave suck to Romulus and Remus, whom she
should have eaten, for her own good and the
worlds. The journals are speaking of this
as if il were something new, whereas it is an
old story, that of crticising Tell out Of his
tory, and relegating him to the company Of
Jack the Giant Queller, the Babes in the
Woods, Little Red Riding Hood, Old King
Cole, and the Green Bird of France. Ages
ago the tale that is told of Tell was called in
question, and the very objections made to it
by Mr.. Gould were pointed out long before
Mr.. Gould, or even his grandmother, was
born or thought Of.
IN the last generation a book on the sub
ject was published in Switzerland Good
critics, nevertheless, still hold to the story,
and there is nothing impossible, and very
little that is improbable, in it. Probably IL
is substantially true, but not so in all its
parts; that is to say, Tell may not have shot
the apple from his sons head, there may have
been no Geisler, the hat on the pole may
have been mythical hat, and generally the
romantic incidents of the affair may be in
ventions, and yet Tell have led the way in
the work attributed to him. Nothing is more
common than to find gathered about the
great facts Of carly history number oflesser
statements which are not facts, but poetical
additions, or embellishments. Criticism
leads to the rejection of these embellish-
ments, and then it is assumed that the whole
thing is an invention.
OF Tells existence, and Of his actively pa
triotic character, there seems to be no room
for doubt, but we can give up the apple, the
hat, the pole, the Austrian tyrant, and SO
forth, without being much afflicted, for though
they are nice enough things in their way,
always excepting the Austrian,) they are
not necessary to the establishment Of Tells
place in history. We feel that Tell was equal
to all that was attributed to him, and SO the
embellishments aforesaid are in keeping with
his real history, and no more out Of place in
it than are misplaced the ornaments which q
beautiful woman wears, though such orna-
ments are not necessary to her existence.
