The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1867-12-19

A most horrible stabbing affair
occurred in Mt. Blanchard, on Sat
urday last. The parties engaged in
it were drinking in saloon, in that
place, when some little misunder-
standing or drunken prejudice
common to the dram shop-about
their mode Of winning their drinks
arose, whereupon sharp words and
blows ensued, followed by Mr.. Adj
am Myers springing at his antag-
onist, William Castor, stabbing him
most numerically six or seven
times in different parts of the body

THE Cleveland Leader concludes
an editorial On the death Of impeach-
ment thus:
We know of but one leading Re
publican paper-the Cincinnati &C.
sette-which favored impeachment.
The Republican voters are four or
five to one against it. The party
has suffered considerably during the
recent political campaigns by this
impeachment talk; but the sequel
proves that it ought to gain credit
by the history of the movement It
has shown that though our party has
the numerical strength in both
branches of Congress, to carry thro'
an impeachment prosecution to con-
viction, were it made party mat
ter, it has steadily refused to abuse
its power, and prefers to tolerate,
even under the gravest provocation,
the President who has turned traitor
to it, rather than to romove him un-
less in method un 1oubtedly legal
and constitutional.

The Remaining Work of Recon
structicn.

The Remaining YORK OF EsecOn-
structicn.
We transfer the following eaito.
rial, on the above subject, from the
Cleveland Leader:
The Speaker of the House has
announced the select House Commit
tee on Reconstruction. 1t contains
the names of three members Of the
old Joint Committee Of the Thirty
ninth Congress-Messrs. Stevens,
Boutwell, and Bingham. The other
members, Messrs. Farnsworth, HUI
burd, Beaman and Paine, Republi-
cans, and Brooks and Beck, Demo
Gratis are new to the peculiar work
Of the committee. We regret that
the Speaker has seen fit to place
Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens at the head
of this committee. Not only his
age and i'll health unfit him for its
arduous duties, but the chronic as
peFity Of his temper, his spirit of
hostility to the South, and the foibles
and weakness consequent upon ex-
treme old age, are unfortunate char
acteristics in the leader Of Recon-
struetion in this new era. We-s say
a neW era, for with the enactment
and attainment Of Equal Suffrage in
the necessity for harsh and restrict
i've measures passed entirely away.
AS Eqeal Suffrage was the essential
guarantee for future safety, SO it is
the sole guarantee necessary. That
once assured, the speediest and most
liberal method of Reconstruction is
the best method. Measures of con
fiscation, of disfranchisement, of
disability, are. useless, and worse
than useless-they are mischievous
and ruinous. We want neither re-
venge nor punishment, we ask only
security for the future-and that
security is guaranteed by the votes
of the blacks. Therefore we could
have wished that more liberal and
moderate man than Mr.. Stevens
could have been made the leader OF
this most important committee.
While the great measure to be at
tanned was yet nnreached, Mr. Ste
vens was the best possible leader
now that it reached, and liberality
and moderation are the qualities
most needed, it would be well fol
this most Roman and Catonian OF
modern statesmen to yield to an
other. But the choice has been
made. The other members Of the
committee are men of recognized
ability, experience and influence in
the House, and well competent to
deal with the knotty- subjects which
will come before it.

THE HOUSE.

THE HOUSE.
Was not very interesting to-day
A test vote was taken on the subject
granting public lands to railroad
companies. The subject came up in
the shape Of bill reported from the
Committee on Public Lands bY blr.
briggs. renewing a grant of public
lands to railroad companies in Mich
igan and Wisconsin.
Mr. e. B. Washburn, of Illinois,
opposed either the renewal of old
land grants or giving new ones. He
said he wanted the House to decide
the question now, as he understood
that numerous applications would
be made this winter ofa similar char
acter and the people had right to
know whether Congress intended to
pursue the policy Of giving away the
public lands which belong to the pco-
pie to railroad monopolies.
The vote Oh the question was ta-
ken by yeas and nays, and stood 10S
yeas to 30 nays. which was not very
significant in favor Of retrench-
ment.
The Committee on Reconstruct
ion was announced, with Thad. Ste
vens as chairman, and Brooks of New
York, appointed to represent the
| Democrats.
A two hours debate in written
speeches wound up the day procee,

The new internal revenue bill, upon
which Congress may be expected to act
when ii has nothing else to do, proposes &
radical change in the system of levying the
income tax. Instead of a sliding scale of
duties, it provides for a uniform tax of five
per cent upon incomes, and extends the
exemption to one thousand dollars. Under
the existing law, the sun of six hundred
dollars is exempted; all sums below five
thousand dollars are taxed at the rate of
five per cent, and all above ten thousand
dollars pay ten per cent.
The simpliication 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
legislation, and it will also carry comfort
to the bosom of salaricd men, to whom an
additional exemption Of four hundred dol>
lars is a subject of vital interest. During
the initiation Of values, the cost Of living is
more than double, and persons whose in>
comes are limited-clerks drawing salaries,
officers of companies, merchants in the re-
tail trade who do not count their income
by the thousand, and many others-fnd it
difficult to pay any tax; and the proposed
measure ofrelief should be carried through.
Attic best an income tax is an oncrous
Requirement, but Dur people bear it with
exemplary patience, and will continue to pay
with great cheerfulness so long as the me-
cessity exists, but their representatives in
Congress can not be too careful in the ad-
justment of the burdcn.-New York Post.

IIOUSE.

More than the usual hubbub and excl. C.
ment marked the re-assembling of the
House.
The Speaker at noon called the House
to order, api the rollot members was called.
During the progress message was receiv-
ed from the Senate announcing that 1t had
a quorum. The announcement was loudly
applauded.
The Speaker stated that hundred and
twenty members were present, aud desired
the clerk to notify the Senate that quo
rum of the House was in session.
Rev. DIR. Boynton, chaplain, offered
prayer.
The Speaker stated Chat the first busi-
ness in order was administering the oath
of office to members elect who had rot
been sworn, the members from Kentucky
having presented themselves for that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Schenck, rising to the question of
privilege, objected to the oath being ad-
ministered to j. ID. EouHg, and presented
protest from Samuel Mckee, member
OF the House, taking he ground generally
