TAXATION OF UNITED STATES BoNDs.-The Con-
stitution-loving party-a party, by the way,
which contains among its members every one of
the rebels who sought to destroy the Constitu-
ton, aad the country with it-have been terribly
exercised about the unconstitutionality of the
law which exempts United States bonds from
State taxation In the Assembly, last winter, q
Democratic member introduced bill to tax the
bonds held in this State but his bill failed to
repeal the law of Congress it did not quite sue
ceed
The National Legislature years ago exercised
its right to exempt certain kinds of property from
State taxation, and the constitutionalty OF the
law was not questioned-probably because 1T
was the act of a Democratic Congress. When
the public lands in some of the Western States
were surveyed and put in market, it was pro-
vided that the land should not be subject to tax
atioE for period of FIVE years after it had been
"entered." The great argument in favor of this
provision was that it would facilitate and en-
courage the settlement of the districts thus
thrown into market. This, being the act of a
Democratic Congress, was of course highly COM
mendable. But, when a Republican Congress
orders an issue of bonds to raise money to crush
reoeillon, and that its bonds may bring higher
price in the market, exempts them from State
and municipal taxation, the act becomes uucon-
sttutlonal and unjust. In some parts of this
State the rate of taxation is as hioh os 6ve nor
cent, nearly equal to the annual interest on the
bonds.
The true reason of Democratic hostility to the
bonds being exemp: from taxation can be found
in the use to which the money resulting from the
sale was applied. Had it been used to paw the
Confederate debt, o.s in payment of the slaves
emancipated during the war, we should hear but
little from the Copperhead leaders upon this
point.

POLITICAL DEMoNIsM.-As q sample of the re-
finement, taste and decency of the leading DEM
ocratic organs in this State, we shall make few
extracts from an article entitled " Thaddeus Ste
vens," which appeared in the State Capital Re
porter of the 13th-the day after that lamented
patriot had passed from earth The writer de-
clares that " if there lives upon the face of earth
a man who justly deserves the contempt, the con-
demnation ard hatred of q free American peo-
pie, it is the old political dotard whose name
heads this article" The vulgar brute then pro-
ceeds to compare the veteran statesman to Judas
Iscarot and Nero, and pronounces Old Thad.
the greatest sinner of the three, and g con-
temptible old perjurer." The article concludes
with the following infamous sentence:
eff there be future, according
to the deeds poor old bewildered Thad has excellent
chance for very incongenal climate which read of
in the Bible set apart for unrepentant sinners"
AS another exhibition of the blackguard tai
ent INDUCED in by members of that party who
exul. over the death of Thad Stevens even as
they did over the death of Abraham Lincoln,
the Sacramento Record says jubilant Democrat
of that city gave utterance to this blasphemous
to hell to try and impeach Christ" The editor
and the citizen above quoted are fair samples
of the class referred to by the Oakland Transcript
in an article from which we make the following
extract:

The Prospect.

Too great confidence in the success of Grant
and CoIfax we especially deprecate. That they
will be elected, we do most heartily believe
and we would warn every friend of our cause
and ;ts representatives against the deluson. If
we should generally conclude that we cannot be
beaten. and thereupon confne our exertions to
shouting over our anticipated victory, we shall
awake, when too late, to find ourselves badly
beaten.
What we do believe is this 1t is at least
twice as easy to elect Grant and Colfax as it
would be to elect Seymour and Blair. If the
efforts put forth on either hand shall be equal,
we believe the Chicago nominees will receive
fully two-thirds of the electoral votes cast And
such is the result that we confidently expect to
work for and secure.
The World attempts to show good front for
its candidates as follows:
