Reconstruction--A New Scheme.

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, under date
February Sd, says:
The highly important consultations
which the President and his Cabinet
have been holding with leading South
ern men on new plan for reconstruc-
ton, and alluded to last week in the
dispatches, ended last night in an agree
ment that series of resolutions, drawn
up at the conference, in favor of suf-
frage based on reading and writing and
property qualifications of $3.50, should
be submitted for adoption to the South
ern Legislatures to pave the way for
the submission of the question by the
President in his message to the Fortieth
Congress.
These resolutions were sent to the
Governors of several of the Southern
States to-day, accompanied by an ad-
visory letter stating that they met the
Presidents approval.
The question of amnesty does not
appear to have been an essential fea-
ture of the proposed plan.
The Governor of North Carolina was
telegraphed tonight to keep the Legis
lature in session to consider the propo-
sitions, and similar dispatches were
sent to the Executives of Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi.
Governor Orr, of South Carolina,
left tonight to submit the plan to the
Legislature of his own State.

Impending War in Enrone.


With ell our domestic troubles, we
may at least be thankful that an
ocean separates as from those gov
ernments which are continually On
the alert lest the balance of power
be unsettled. and some one of them
grow to such proportions as to over
shadow and dominate its less thrifty
neighbors. So long as the conditions
of the Holy Alliance were observed,
it was possible to maintain friendly
relations and prevent those jealousies
whichslead to exhaustive ornaments
on all sides. But that alliance has
been broken up, and we now see eve
ry respectable power in Europe arm
ing to defend its territory. Never
was the maxim "In time of peace
prepare for war" so vigorously prac
ticed in Europe as now. Spain,
France, Prussia, italy, Austria, Rus
sia and Turkey have in hand armies
that for numbers and efficient disci-
pline and equipment would have as
tonished the first Napoleon.
The surface calm.is deceitful, and
will be of short duration. Such is
the prevailing opinion of Continental
Europe. In what quarter the storm
will burst no one seems TO know, but
that it Is impending in the immediate
future seems to be universally con-
ceded. The apprehension of it is
confessed in the energetic prepara-
tions to meet it.
The efforts of one power 10 increase
its means of defense and offense is
made pretext by its neighbor for a
corresponding augmentation of mill
tary force. The resources of the
respective governments are taxed to
the utmost limit to meet the conse
quent vast expenditures, and hardly
one Of them, with the exception of
Prussia, is able to present satisfac
tory budget, though taxation has been
rarely SO severely or so ingeniously
applied to extract the ultimate dollar.
An end must come to this state of
things. No government, however
favored financially, can long con-
tinue such predigal outlay and accu-
mulate such mountain of indebted
ness.
Either there must come war, the
result of which Will be new defini-
ton of boundaries, corresponding to
affinities of race, religion and lam
guage, or there must be q general
and unanimous disarmament. Aus
tria will not consent to this while
Prussia maintains a powerful stand
ing army, and Prussia can not well
do it while Napoleon holds near a
million of trained soldiers The del
icate relations of these States, til e
threatening aspect of affairs in the
East, the unsettled, vexatious con
ditien of the Papal States, the immi-
nence of revolution in Spain, the
ambitious designs of Russia, the
fierce temper of Austria, all tend to
prevent the establishment of that
confidence which would justify re
duction of the armies. And, to sum
it up in word, at no time since the
termination of the long and desela
ting wars of the first Napoleon have
affairs in Europe presented so threat
ming an aspect.-Cin. Com.

Fraud On the Revenue.

The Congressional committee, that
has been investigating various Gus
tomhouse and other frauds in New
York, have developed the startling
fact that a system Of wholesale rob-
berry of the Government is going on
in that city, by evasion of the taxes
levied under the internal Revenue
laws. During the three summer
months of last year the Government
received in taxes from the distiller-
les of New York and Brooklyn only
S21,61S; whereas it should have re-
ceived st least one million and a
quarter. The late report of Com
missioner Wells shows that while the
Government should have received
last year revenue of eighty mill
ions of dollars from the tax on dis
titled spirits, the actual receipts from
that source were less than thirty
millions. The fifty millions went
into the pockets of the distillers and
dishonest Government officers thus
bribed to assist in the fraud. The
people, the consumers, paid the tax,
but it never reached the Govern
ment. With tax of two dollars on
a gallon in 1866, the Government re.
ceived only S776,7S0 more than in
1864, when the tax was only from
twenty to sixty cents. Yet the pro.
duction has not decreased, and this
result caE, therefore, be accounted
for only upon the ground of robbery
and fraud Nor is the fraud confined
to this one article. The same is
equally true with tobacco and almost
every subject of taxation. These
facts demonstrate, that if the reve-
nue. laws were faithfully and honest
ly complied with, the present rates
of taxation weuld produce a revenue
at least one third larger than that
now actually realized. A faithful
compliance with the law would at
once enable Congress to materially
reduce the rates of taxation, and yet
in fact realize as large a revenue as
now. In ether words, the honest
men of the country are paying heavy
taxes in order to make up the diff
ciencies eccasioned by the false re-
turns and frauds of the dishonest
Every dollar Of which your neighbor
defrands the Government in the way
of taxation, is SO much more added
to the weight of your own taxes.
The Government may do much to-
wards tile detection of these frauds,
but the people themselves can and
must do more. In every community
there are more or less of this class of
men whe think it no crime to cheat
and rob the Government. Let the
honest tax payers ofeach community
see to it that all such are exposed,
and subjected to the full penalty of
she law.

and then be cheaper than IL
lands of Pennsylvania. Then

itself increase the tolls from SIN

That the Covington and Ohio
Railroad will be built, and that at no
very distant day, we have great con-
fidence. That completed, rail trans
portation will lie at the very door OF
these vast coal deposits, giving them
easy access to the Eastern and South
Eastern markets. Upon this point
Mr.. Swami adds:
Again: when the Covington & Ohio
Railroad is completed, the distance
from the Kanawha Coal-field to the
Ohio River by railroad will be go
miles; the point Of contact, 140 miles
above Cincinnati, and below all the
shoals and shadows of that river, as
well as below the ice which so much
impedes the navigation OF the Upper
Ohio. Now the average cost of
transportation of coal. per ton, per
mile. on the railroads of the United
States, (De Bows Review, October,
1866, is II cents. The cost on this
road. owing to its low grade, would
not exceed one cent per ton, per
mile, or two and one-seventh cents
per bushel, to the Ohio river, 140
miles above Cincinnati; at which
point navigation is rarely interrupted
by ice. To ship coal to Richmond,
Va, we could ship by railroad to
Ccvington, 100 miles, at ! cents per
ton. 81 so, thence by canal to Rich
mond, 244 miles, at 13 mills per ton,
per mile, 50 l3; total cost to Rich
mond, 81 63 per ton, or 163 cents
per bushel. Now, camel coal is
selling to-day in New York at $2l
per ton, or IS cents per bushel.
If space permitted, we should be
glad to give further extracts from
Mr.. Swann's truly interesting and
valuable letter. Enough has been
said, however, to warrant the asser-
ton that the Kanawha Valley has
future before it. 1t is an historical
fact that mineral wealth is the surest
foundation Of material prosperity.
The Kanawhs Valley has that wealth
in inexhaustable quantities-at pres
ent unproductive tor want of outlet,
but an outlet it must and will, sooner
or later, find.

~ The matter of the Indian trou
bles is beginning to claim the atten-

Both gentlemen indicate that the
present management of Ind ian af-

R An important bill is pending
in the Senate of the United States in
relation to polygamy in Utah. 1t
prohibits the solemnization OF mat

his wife woman married to him by
a Mormon priest. The bill, if passed
as it now stands, will speedily put an

for another long and late session to

Mr.. Fessen3en is determined to
get vote to night. He appealed to

want to load it to death.
The impl ession is gaining ground
that the bill will be either killed in

the Senate to-day, and seemed to be
quite an object of interest.
In the House to day long debate
took place on the proposition to

all that some reform was needed in
the management OF our Indian affairs
but some favor inspection boards, in

last night.

supervisionary control of the Bureau
from the Interior to the War Depart

of IA to II, a majority of three.
