action for the early repeal by Con-

THE strong grounds taken by the
various Chambers of Commerce and
Boards of Trade in different parts of
the country, in favor of the repeal of
the tax on CLIFTON, warrant the belief
that Congress will carry out their
wishes in this particular. Itseems to
us that articles of prime necessity,
which are consumed alike by all
classes of the community, ought to be
exempt from taxation. The luxuries
consumed in this country, if properly
taxed, will yield a revenue sufficient
for all the wants of the Government.
People who are able to indulge in
these luxuries are fully able to stand
liberal amount Of taxing. ~ 4

In the matter of paying the nation
al debt in redeemable paper, STEVENS
goes farther than General BUTLER, but
not so far as Mr.. PENDLEToN. Hence,
with these who are in favor of repu-
diation, he will be better candidate
for the Presidency than the former,
and a worse one than the latter. He
has already been nominated for that
Office, by WENDELL PHILLIPS, who ex-
tolls him as the Great Radical. and
says that one year of Mr.. STEVENS in
the Presidential chair would be bet
ter than a full term of anybody else.
In no case would Mr.. STEVENS suit the
Republicans.

We have had occasion, heretofore,
to speak of the frauds by which the
Copperhead majority was largely in
creased in New York City. 1t seems
that Mr.. CONNOLLY, the candidate of
the Mozart Democracy for Sheriff, is
dissatisfied with the result, and has
published his intention to contest the
election. of his Tammany opponent.
He says he will be able TO show that
in number of Wards fraudulent
voting, most vile and fragrant, was
permitted, and that spurious voters
were rushed into the city from Bali

Jersey City, all without the State, as

adjacent to, New York. When it is

and Tammany factions voted the

same from all sources were over $31,

number of departures.
The New York Tribune doubts the
soundness of a system which allows

LATE HoURs.-An eminent author
says that the present custom of haying
our heurs of business and meals later
than our fathers, especially late even
ing visits, whether to our friends or
public places, is mischievous TO per-
sOnal and family order. It's true. and
by no means the whole truth. Keep
ing late hours is pernicious practice.
physically and intellectually, as we'll
as morally. The old adage is correct
which assumes health, wealth and wis
dom 10 be dependent largely upon early
rising. Fashionable dissipation in the
shape of balls, parties, and so forth,
with the attendant loss of sleep, and
eating at irregular intervals, is respon-
stble for a vast proportion of the all
ments that afflict society, including
lassitude, dyspepsia and innumerR BILE
other complains. Persistence in such
a mode on living, for Il single season,
is enough to impair the most robust
health and bring pzlor to the rosiest
