The New Town or Julesburg.

From the LedrenWortt Kansas Times
The new town of Julesourg is another in
stance OF the way things are rushed out West.
The Omaha Herald describes IT as having every
trade and occupation represented. Has got
l2O whisky shops, several gambling bells, and
few other dens of vice. It's population Is
about 5000.
The principal amusements are getting tight,
lighting, and occasionally shooting each other
down Tor pastime. Money is very plenCifuI,
and the evils of which it is the root spring up
in ITS path
The great national question debated there ls,
where Is Julesburg? Is it in the State of Ne.
braska? the Territory of Wyoming? the Terri
tory of Dakotah or is it in Colorado?
For the past few days, the first of its exist
ence, the city was ruled Oy an extempore Vigi-
lentes, who amused themselves by the exercise
of the Cowhide, halter, and revolver
At recent meeting of the citizens it was
agreed TO folm a civic government, and to adopt
the charter, laws, and ordinances of Omaha.
They have elected a Mayor and City Council.
The Mayor is only five days. resident of the
place, and none OF the Council have been there
over ten days.
Rents are enormously high. One man pays
500 day for a tent, for gambling and billiard
hall with one table. Another rents part shed,
part canvas structure, for $1,000 week.

POSTAL CONVENTIONS.
Important Statement by tho British
Chancellor OF tho E1ohequer.


In the House of Commons Mr.. Hadheld ask ed
the Chancellor OF the Exchequer whether the
Government had considered the policy of ex-
tending the system OF cheap postage to all
foreign and friendly governments willing to
Teciprocate in this convenience, and to bear
their proportion OF the cost of the same; and
whether any measures were being taken for such
an arrangement.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer-The i'm
portant subject upon which the honorable gen.
tleman has asked a question has very much
engaged the attention OF the Government and
OF their predecessors. Within these few weeks
we have signed q postal convention with the
United States, under which, after the lst of
January, the postage between the two countries
Will be reduced from Is. to Cd. for each half.
ounce letter. (Cheers.l may also say that of
the numerous proposals made for the reduction
OF foreign postage, the vast majority have ema-
mated iron this country, and there has been no
proposal made upon tolerably fair basis that has
ever been refused by US. (Hear, hear.) Negotia-
tions with Peru, Chilli, and other western States of
America are at this moment going on, with the
object Of reducing the postage but cannot say
that anything very definite has been concluded
in these cases. Within the last two or three
years the postage between this country and
sweden has been reduced from Id to 6t., with
Denmark from Sd. to 4d., and with holland
from Sd. 10 Sd. That viii show that the subject
has very much engaged the attention OF tue
Government, and there are at this moment
before us, and under the consideration OF other
Governments, proposals which may lead to still
more extensive results (Hear hear.)

TEX APPEAL or THE REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEES.
"A few days since we published an appeal
from the Republican Executive Committee,
which should receive the immediate attention
Of all true friends of freedom. Of the work
already done by the Committee they speak
themselves. The Committee have already ex-
pended nearly 5000, mainly derived from
the private contributions of Senators and
Representatives, and their purse is now empty.
They have sent more than seventy active and
intelligent speakers and organizers through
the South; they have distributed an immense
number of Documents they have formed Re-
publican Clubs and Committees in every State;
and they express the unhesitating conviction
that with reasonable persistence and energy
on our part we may carry the whole South at
the next elections. But the Southern loyaIists
are poor; they can give little except their votes
to the cause of the country the necessary ex-
penses of the campaign must be betrayed
mainly by the Union party of the North.
One hundred dollars now, say the Committee,
will accomplish far more than $4,000 year
hence. The attention Of the friends of the
cause is most earnestly called to the appeal
All contributions and communications should
be addressed to Hon. I. L. Tulloch, Wash
ington, ID. G..

The Present system of Taxation IneHi
Giant.

The Present system of Taxation Ineffi-
cient.
THE report of the Congressional Committee on
the Management of the Revenue and the Mode
of its Collection has established officially what
was known before to every one, that the
present system of raising revenue is totally
inefficient; that under it the Government is
defrauded of millions upon millions of dollars
annually; that the officers of the United States
are, many of them, corrupt; that their agents
are worse; that the dealers, with few excep-
tions, are dishonest when an opportunity
affords; and that, unless a change is brought
about, taxation will be ruinous to the honest,
and compel them to Join the crowd of de-
frauders. The article Of whisky alone evil
dences the magnitude of the deceptions prac-
tised. Liquor can be bought for less than the
Government tax, and the daily return of almost
all the distillers is one of deception and
theft. 1t has been proposed, in view of the
necessity of reform, and the impraotioability
Of effecting it with the manufacturers, that
he great weight of taxation be made to fall
rather upon the buyer than on the seller, and
hat the retailer be charged directly, and not
the producer. But we doubt if the remedy
would effect very good results. 1t is subject
which merits the most earnest and per-
sistent attention of the Treasury Department.
There is no subject towards which official at
tentiOn should be more constantly directed for
there is none of more vital value to the ma
ton. On it depends the safety of our credit, a
jewel to be priced above all others. In addi-
ton to the pecuniary loss, the facility for fraud
causes a degradation of the morals of the peo-
pie, and we are in danger of experiencing the
sad effects depicted by Sydney Smith, which
he predicted would result from our public debt:
"The habit of dealing with large sums will
make the Government avaricious and profuse,
and the system itself will infallibly generate
the vermin of spies and informers and still
more peStilent of political tools and retdiners
Of the meaneSt and most odiouS description-whil
the prodigious patronage which the collection
of this splendid revenue will throw into the
hands of Government, will invest it with SO
vast an influence, and hold out such means
and temptations to corruption, as all the virtue
and public spirit even of republicanism will
be unable to resist"
Heeding, then, the warning given by the
reverend gentleman nearly fifty years ago. let
the Government devote its energies to devise
of honesty. The present plan is offensive to
all right-thinking citizens who understand its
workings.

Trial Trip Of New Steamship Ontario

Boston, July 29.-The new steamship Ontario
pany's line from Boston to Liverpool, returned
to this port this afternoon, after an absence of
twenty-five hours on trial trip at sea, for the
purpose of testing her machinery and getting
her engines in working order. The steamer ran
outside of Cape Cod, and after standing off and
on during the night, returned by circutous
route through the Bay. About afty gentlemen,
including the executive officer of the Company,
constructor, nautical, and mercantile mer,
were on board. The vessel behaved admirably,
and her engines worked successfully. ThougG
the trial was not Tor speed, she attained a rate
of ia knots, with four-ffths of her power
applied. The Ontario is of 5000 tons burden,
and she has engines of 100 horse power,

STRAIGHTFORWARD ADvIoE."- Regarding the
idea of calling the five Southern Military Dis
trict Commanders to Washington, the New York
Tribune furnishes the following vlew:-"Mr.
Johuson's plan of calling the five District Com
manders together in Washington and comforting
with them respecting the proper execution of
the Reconstruction act is very good one, and
If it is only conceived and carried out in an
honest spirit, we shall hardly fail to preccive
benefit from it. A little straightforward advice
from Sheridan and Sickles would be of immense
service to Mr.. Johnson. But does he mean to
takeit? We have our miSgivings. 1t is not the
Presidents way. If the object of the conference
is 10 attempt to throw upon the Military Com
manders a joint responsibility for the policy
which Mr.. johnson has already fixed upon, the
plan had better be abandoned at once. In the
first place, the people will not be deceived by it,
and in the second place, they would not accept
the reconstruction policy of the Executive even
if all the military commanders in the universe
approved it,"

THE REPORTED MASSACRE Of Bishop and
several Sisters of Charity by the Indians proving
to be without foundation. the New York Tribune
of this morning says:-''The special despatch to
the Herald announcing the massacre of Bishop
Lamay and ten Sisters of Charity by the Indians
proves, like three-fourths of the Indian news to
be utterly without foundation. In fact the
Indian news, as well as the Indian war, is in the
main manufactured by dishonest spectators,
who make profit out of the military movements
on the Plains. There is nothing they dread more
than peace. There is nothing for which they
scheme and maneuvre and lie so eagerly as for a
good, long, bloody war. The Indian Peace Com
missioners appointed under the recent act of
Congress are about entering upon their duties,
and we trust they will devote good share OF
attention 10 the deviltry of the Government con-
tractors and other speculative scamps who have
brought upon US most of the present troubles,
and are trying TO bring more"

'"THB APPLICATION OF IT."-The National In
teuigencer had an inspired utterance yesterday.
The President, ii itappears, promises to cheerfuly
execute the wishes of Congress; but to this
promise he appends few oracular remarks
which may be interpreted almost any way, and
will read forward and backward alike. He
holds that he has no power Ito exonerate him
self from ultimate responsibility for all Execu-
tive action under the Government to the extent
that he shall take care the laws are faithfully
eXecuted;'" in which opinion we most heartily
agree with him. The article in the Iptehtgencer
thus continues" Should an occasion unfortu-
nately force itself or be forced upon him, in
which he must consent to be disOOeyed or sup
planted from his constitutional jurisdiction, or
else require his commands under the law to be
implicitly obeyed by the po wer of the army and
navy, If necessary, there is, we are satisfied, no
authority for saying what line of action the
Administration would adopt" This sentence
comes in like lion and goes out like lamb.
1t is a good deal in the style of one of Jack
Bunsby's opinions; and we might say oft, too,
in the words OF Captain Cutie, "the bearings
OF this here observation lies in the application
of it." II something happen, it is not clear
what. Mr.. johnson will either do or not DO
something which nobody can toresee. The
statement may not be very assuring, but II Is

Fifteen-Cent Fractional Currencv.

despatch from Washington announces
that the Treasury Department will soon issue
an additional fractional currency note of the
denomination of fifteen cents. The principal
embellishments on the face of this note are an
engraved likeness of General Grant on the
right hand, and opposite, on the left, like
ness of Lieutenant General Sherman. The
back of the note, like all other late issues of
Government money, will be green, with the
number "l5' on each side of the note. The
bronze figures which have thus far been placed
upon the various denominations of the United
States currency will be omitted on this new
issue, and, for safety, peculiar kind of paper
will be substituted.

President clings to his assumption Of unoOnsti-
tutional power, and would preserve the fruits
Of his illegal acts. Congress, ON the other
hand, is proceeding, as rapidly as the oiroum =
stances of the case will admit, to replace Mr.
Johnson's unconstitutional State Governments
with legal and valid ones. This is the whole
case in a nutshell, and IL shows that Mr.. John
son, in his Veto Message, has totally failed to
meet the great question involved He has
merely made one more dodge.
