Washington Municipal Election.

The Radicals, black and white, carried
the municipal elections in Washington city,
on Monday, by a majority of about five
hundred, as we are advised by telegraph,
though the Republican" of yesterday
morning conceded them q majority of 1900.
The "Chronicle," of course exults in very
large capitals over the triumph of its party,
through the aid of their colored auxiliaries,
and it claims the election of the entire city
ticket-of thirteen out of twenty-one
Councilmen, and four out of seven mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen. 1t is very
significant fact-and one to which we call
the especial attention of the colored men
of Richmond, and of Virginia-there was
not q single col0red man elected on tile Rddi-
cal ticket.
The papers say the election passed off
without any disturbance, which was owing,
in great measure, perhaps, to the active,
vigilance of the police. The usual dodges
of counterfeit tickets, and all that sort of
thing, were resorted to, and it appears to
have had all the elements of an election in
the most corrupt days of the Republic
that is, if there ever were any days more
corrupt than the present.

TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF PREsI-
DENT TYLER.
BY MRS. CHARLES NJ. WALLACE, OF RICHMOND, VA.

e1ftIy the grass waves, brightly the flowers blow,
Sweetly the birds sing, above thee;
Far down the waters roll roll on the reedy shore,
Soothing the sad hearts that love thee
Harkl on the morning air rises the distant num-
Voices and footsteps come nearer
Bright is the day and glad, dear Is the spring time,
but
Brighter these heroes and dearer,
Who calmly sleep round thee ON hillside and val
ley;
The sad willows over them bending,
And dreamIess, they reck not of fetters now bind
ing,
The land which, while vainly defending,
They poured out their young lives like streams
from the fountain,
With devotion so great! yet so frultIess
Oh why vast thou called away, called in the hour
of need,
just as this struggle, so bootless,
Had come and this Southern land needed thy
counsel sage,
Needed thy wise moderation,
Thy firmness unyieldipg, thy skill so unerrlng,
To make of our people nation?
To guide with our pure patriot, Davis, in Senate
hall,
While young hearts in fields faced the danger.
With these hearts at home to guide, Lee to plan,
Jackson lead
Virginia would still be stranger
To the heavy tramp on her soil, tramp OF the arm
ed foe,
Sounding so sad and so dreary!
But God knoweth all the best; some day ythero VIII
Rest from the lone heart weary;
And mean time We bring thee here cotors our
country wore,
With flowers we repeat the sad story;
Ger the graves of our heroes we'll spread our
hearts tributes,
Then leave them alone in their glory!''

A Startling Decrease I'm che Reyenue-A
Fad Prospect hhead.

According to the best information that
car be gathered there will be a falling off
in the internal revenue income for the cur
rent year to an amount more than double
the estimate of Secretary McCulloch in his
last annual report. We publish elsewhere in
to-day's Herald list of the taxes assessed
upon manufactures and productions, for
March and April, in nearly all the districts
in New York, and in Il great part of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. AS
compared with the corresponding months
of last year, these returns show falling off
from thts source of revenue of over forty
The new tax law, with reduced rates and
large additions to the free list, went into
operation March 2, 1867, and the returns
for March and April, therefore, show it's
first results. Although the list is only par
tial, the uniformity in the decrease and its
rate is sufficient evidence that the same
condition of affairs exist throughout the
country, and justiies the estimate that the
aggregate decrease from this source of rev.
enue will reach forty per cent
In the receipts from the tax upon in
comes there is q yet greater falling off; but,
assuming decline of forty per cent. all
round we have q total decrease in the re-
compared with last year, of one hundred
and twenty-five millions of dollars. This
throws the calculations of Secretary Nc
CullOch into confusion, his estimate of the
decrease of the present year, based upon
the reduction in the rates, being about for
ty millions. In addition to this the expen-
ditures will be largely IN excess OF the Sc
cretary's estimates, in consequence of the
expenses of the Reconstruction act and the
Indian troubles in the West.
This is startling exhibition and shows
the utter incompetency of Congress and
the Secretary OF the Treasury. They are
struggling and foundering about III wa
ter out OF their depth, and, as they are
ignorant how to swim, they must go to
the bottom. By their blunders and OBJ
stinacy they will increase the public debt
this year one hundred and fifty millions
When these facts are known in Europe
our stocks and securities will go down !;
and it will not be the fault of the Secre-
tary or Of Congress if we do not have a
terrible panic all over the country. And
what have they gained by bringing all
this financial trouble upon the country ?
Six niggers in Congress, and perhaps a
niger on the ticket for Vice President in
the next Presidential election, according
to the programme of their pioneer, Wen
dell Phillips The people will soon ask
the question whether six good, fat mig
gers, fit for members of Congress-, are
worth what they will cost-fve hundred
millions apiece.

The first six students in the graduating
class at West Point are put down in the
list as Southerners-two from Virginia, two
from Georgia, one from Alabama, and one
from North Carolina. Uninformed persons
might regard this as sign of restored
Union, but when they learn that these ca
diets we're appointed in the height of the
war, a strong suspicion is aroused that not
only these six young men, but the greater
proportion of those who are credited to
Southern States, are good Yankees who
were appointed by Northern congressman.
