The scolding OF Mr.. SUMNER in the United
States Senate-his peevish petulance seeking
relief in gross personal abuse Of The PREsr.
DENT-not only betray his irate temper, but
that disregard of the ordinary courtesics ol
official discussion which sinks him to the
grade Of n reckless calumnator. II is easy
for him to load the pages Of his written
speeches with yituperation and shameless &C,
cusations respecting an individual, or third
part of the population of the country; but
he only stamps himself as calumniator
whose narrow prejudice and bitter emnity
find vent in the gross abuse and unsustNined
assertion familiar to common slanderers
National interests are not paramount in the
eyes Of such Senator to personal spleen
instead of regarding the welfare Of the wholt
people-their peace-their security-thei
Union-their business-he drivels denuncia
ton. The burdens of his constituents hav,
no thought where only passion reigns ant
egotism and venom I'LL every crevice of thI
heart. Boston Post.

The Income Tax.

The New York Times makes the following
observations upon the income tax:
at is satisfactory to know that the Ways
and Means Committee has not allowed the
income tax question to go by default In
comes below 81 900 the committee recon-
mend shall be exempted from the tax. This
is good SO far as II goes But the whole
scheme Of taxation on Incomes calls for re-
vision. As now applied It is clumsy and
unjust-taking no note ofthe difference in re-
sources and value Of income, and falling most
heavy upon shoulders that are the least able
to endure it. II the committee would work
thoroughly they should revise the system in
its principles and details, SO graduating and
classifying the percentages Of taxation that
labor shall not be burdened as heavily as
capital, nor the profits Of trade as heavily as
the receipts from accumulated wealth The
present tax is both cruel and odious. But
Il we cannot altogether reform it, by all
means let the small improvement recon.
mended by the committee be carried into
practice"

Tho Game OF RIuH.

The bluster and threats made by Northern
copperheadS, who encouraged the South to
go into the rebellion and then skulked out Of
II itthemselves, about an armed organization
Of the Democratic party, is meeting with a
fitting response at the South. The Macon
journal and Messenger says: .
"Blufiing may be very good practice in
SO reckless game as is now going on /; but
we beg leave to suggest that II there's going
TO be any more fighting on this side OF the
Potomac, we must turn IL over TO the North
ern brethren exclusively, and be counted
out. There's SO many Of them, that only
small proportion were able to take hand in
the war Of the rebellion, and II is not wonder
fal, therefore. that they should be spelling
for another opportunity. Not SO with the
people on this side Of the Potomac. Every
man who wanted to fight was provided with
the fullest opportunity for the qualification
Of his appetite, and the result is we want no
more Just now. We had much rather raise
corn, meat and cotton, and do what we can
to repair our dilapidated fortunes, than take
a hand In any new revolution"

The Potato.

The following statement in relation 70 n
subject that, among other 'weightier matters
Of the law" ofa decidedly radical tendency,
has recently occupied the attention Of Con
gress-the potato having at one time been
regarded as "a pernicious root, altogether
unfit for q Christians stomach"-is taken
from " Parkers History Of Londonderry, N.
H." In referring TO the early inhabitants Of
that town, who we're descendants Of q colony
from Argyleshire, in Scotland, who settled
in the North OF Ireland about the middle Of
the seventeenth century, and came to Lon.
donderry in 17l9, he says, "they introduced
the culture Of the potato, which they brought
with them from Ireland. Until their arrival,
this valuable vegetable, now regarded as one
Of the necessaries Of life, II not wholly un.
known, was not cultivated in New England.
To them belongs the credit OF It's introduc.
ton 70 general use. Although highly priced
by this company Of settlers, 4 was for long
time but little regarded by their English
neighborsi q barrel or two being considered
a supply for family. But It's value as food
for man and for beast became ut length
more generally known; and who can now
estimate the full advantage Of It's cultivation
to this countryi The following well authen-
ticated fact will show how little known TO
the community at large the potato must have
been:
"'Afew Of the settlers had passed the winter
previous to their establishment here in An
dover, Mass. On taking their departure from
one Of the families, with whom they had re-
sided, they left few potatoes for seed. The
potatoes were accordingly planted; came up
and fourished we'll blossomed and produced
balls, which the family supposed were the
fruit to be eaten. They cooked the balls in
various ways, but could not make them pal
atable, and pronounced them unfit for food
The next spring, while ploughing their gar
den, the plough passed through where the
potatoes had grown, and turned out some Of
great size, by which means they discovered
their mistake"

YESTERDAY MORNING, young lady while
going on board Of the steamer Hartford, which
was moored at one Of the upper wharyes Of
the city, and accompanied by her mother,
was blown overheard by the heavy wind from
the northwest. A colored man, connected
with the steamer, Immediately jumped over
board and rescued her from drowning as well
as freezing. Supporting the lady with one
arm, and swimming with the other, the
worthy seaman reached the wheel, and held
on until both were drawn up from the frees-

IS RESPONSE 10 the resolution Of Congress,
the Postmaster General has made a report
Of the appointments Of postmasters since
the last session Of the Senate, from which
it appears that he appointed ten persons who
had been nominated to and rejected by the
Senate, and twenty-five whose nominations
had not been acted upon. Each Of these re-
appointments were merely temporarily
made, says the Postmaster General, because
Of the necessity to place some one in charge
Of the several Offices.
The national Republican., 1867-01-24

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL has sent to the
Senate and House Committees on the Post
Office and Post Roads communication re-
questing an investigation into the charges
made by the correspondent of a Cincinnati
paper, who alleges, substantially, that the
Postmaster General signed SlS0,000 con-
tract in the Ohio mail service, which con-
tract was SO corrupt that the contract clerks
refused to sign it, and the postmaster was
therefore compelled to sign the agreement.
Gov. RANDALL says the contract referred to
was determined by his predecessor, Gov.
DESKrsoS; that there was no corruption in
the affair, and that the contract clerks did
not refuse to sign it, and had nothing what
ever to do with its execution.
