The Fenians Again.

The following is the substance of
the news from Ireland The telegraph
wires in the insurrectionsry districts of
Ireland have been cut in all directions
and meagre news is received from that
quarter and is suppressed by the authori-
ties for prudential reasons. A large
Fenian party, has been surrounded by
national troops in TONNES woods. The
chances for escape look exceedingly
small. The band of 500 which retreat
ed to the hills near Killarney is still at
large. The uprising thus far is confined
to Kerry and Cork counties, and it is
not believed the trouble will spread fur
ther The authorities in Ireland have
assured the British Government that the
present rising is totally stopped. The
Chief Organizer, Stephens, is there, but
the danger seems past. TONNES woods,
where the Fenians took refuge when
closely pressed, has been secured by the
British troops and the insurrectionary
bands dispersed. t--tst

Negotiations with the Presi-
6anf


The following are the rumors, sur
mises and criticisms of Washington
specials in regard to the efforts which
have been making, whether wisely or
not is yet to be determined) to bring
about compromise between Congress
and the President:
For the last week or ten days, some very
vigorous efforts have been made by few in.
dividuals, who are infatuated with the idea Of
negotiating peace between the President and
Congress TO bring this about. Its promised
by johnson TO the Mi.sourians that he will
hereafter appoint none but Radicals; that no
more naughty Democrats shall have any fod-
der from the public crib; thai he will, cease
his war il Congress will not pass any more
bad bills. but win tender him the olive
branch, by passing the hill giving apy rebel
State admission to Congress as soon as they
adopt the Constitutional Amendment and 90
nothing to upturn his present governments
in the South. It is alleged that he is will
ling to reconstruct his Cabinet by the remo-
val of Secretary Seward
To all this the Republican members say his
Overtures are made by Irresponsible men, and
if he is not going to any longer thrust him
self in between the people and their will, as
being carried into Office by Congress, he has
only to quietly acquiesce in the Legislation
they deem proper. Notwithstanding the
fact that Raymond, Banks Delsno and BiDg-
ham, and perhaps twenty others, have faith
in it is regarded by a majority of the Re-
publicans as q mere farce and an effort to
gain time and slave of any impeachment
But in all this msnevre johnson does moth
ing to inspire any confidence in his integri-
ty. He continues to appoint Breckenridge
Democrats to office and the same lead
ing men are still in his confidence.

The Tax on Incomes.

The new Internal Revenue bill, upon
which Congress may be expected to act when
it has nothing else TO do, proposes a radical
change in the system of levying the income
tax. Instead of a sliding scale of duties, it
provides for uniform tax of five per cent.
upon incomes, and extends the exemption TO
one thousand dollars. Under the existing
law the sum Of six hundred dollars is ex-
empted; all suns below five thousand dol
lars are t. xed at the rate of five per cent,
and all above ten thousand dollars pay ten
per cent.
The simplifcation of this and other taxes
in the new bill will warm the hearts Of the
revenue assessors, whose heads spin when
they try to understand the mazes OF tax leg
isIation; and it will also carry comfort to the
bosoms of salaried mou. TO whom an addi-
tional exemption of four bundled dollars is
subject of vital interest During the infa-
ton of values, The cost of living IS more than
doubled. and persons whose incomes are
limited-clerks drawing salaries, officers of
companies, merchants in the retail trade who
do not count their income bY Inc thousand, +,
aud many Others-6nd it diff sit to pay any
tsx; aud the proposed messlre of relief
should be carried through.
At the best, an income tax is an onerOus
requirement, butour people beaI iG with ex-
emplary patience, ard will contis ne to pay
with great cheerfulness so long IS the nee
sssity exists; but their representatives in
Congress cannot be too careful in he adjust
ment of the burden.-N 7. Ere. Post.
