We have often wished that illegible writ
ing were made Unable offense. 1t would
be capital source Of revenue to
State, and as the radical Congress has
taxed nearly everything else to raise funds
for their reconstruction schemes and to
support four millions of colored freedmen
in indleness, if they will not support them
selves, we recommend the chairman OF the
committee of ways and means in the two
houses to bring in bill levying penal
tax on every citizen who writes SO badly
that his manuscript is unreadable by ordi-
nary people. Our attention is called to
this subject by observing that an English
court has declined to punish constable for
non-service of a writ of summons on the
simple ground that the writing was 50 bad
that the officer could not read the address.
The Judge excused the delinquent. One
of the barristers, as Amicus Cu'rios. said
that the party who superseded the pro-
cess ought to be made to pay the fine, re-
marking in addition, that he had repeat
edly heard the judges say that they could
EOS, in many cases, read the dispositions.

The BoNpHoLDERs AGAIN.-~The cry
againt the bondholders raised by the Den.
ocrats some time since has almost died
out. There is no mystery about it, for
the subject ha. been thoroughly yentilat.
ed. II has been found that the war was
not against the rich. but the poor. The
following accurate statement Of the char.
acter and condition of the bondholders in
Cincinnati, taken from published list,
shows that it is not the rich alone that are
favored by the exemption of [ nitcd States
bonds from taxation
The whole number of bondholders is
seven hundred and twenty-eight, of whom
only ninety-four hold sums of over one
thousand dollars each, and only four over
ten thousand each. The highest single
amount is Sl1,420, belonging to the es-
tate of A. Hardness. Six hundred and
thirty persons hold sums of less than one
thousand dollars each. The names of a
large portion of these "bloated aristocrats"
indicate that they are of German and
Irish extraction. We do not doubt that a
similar investigation would reveal a pro-
portionately similar list of "aristoeratic
oondholders' in every locality The rich
doh invest largely in bonds, because they
can do better. Government is the poor
