REDUCTION IN TAXES,

One of the most hopeful features of Con
gressional legislation at present (after the
impeachment Is the disposition to reduce
the load Of taxes, laid ufon US by Demo
cratic rebellion, as far as the condition Of
the National finances viii permit. A bill
making large reductions of the taxes on all
domestic manufactures has been under con
sideration for some time and now seems to
be near completion, so chat we may expect
its passage at an early day. The immedi-
ate result of the passage of the bill viii be
the infusion of increased activity into all the
leading branches of manufacture, bringing
down the prices Of all manufactured goods
and giving employment, food and clothing
to thousands who have for months been
idle, suffering and starving. There is nc
legislation Of the present session likely to
have so beneficial an effect on the general
prosperity of the country and the welfare Of
the people. The ability thus to tighten the
burthens Of the people has been attained By
the determination of the Republican major
ity to retreneh in every branch of public
expenditure Extraordinary efforts have
been made to obtain increase Of pay for va
rious officers and special classes of clerks as
well as the exemption Of certain lnonopoiies
from taxation for the benefit of private par
ties or rich corporations, but they have thus
far been deseryedly unsuccessful. OF this
class the whiskey ring is one of the most
powerful as well as importunate. Efforts
are stil being made to have the tax largely
reduced upon whiskey, but we sincerely
hope they may not succeed. There is nc
article Of manufacture that can bear 50
heavy tax nor that Of itself imposes 50
heavy tax on the people, in crime and
poverty. 1t fills our jails with criminals,
our poor houses with paupers, and occupies
our courts with tedious and costly litigation.
As long as there is an Internal Revenue tax
to be imposed let it be laid heavily on such
articles as this. If they are taxed out Of
existence the country viii gain greatly, and
The happiness of our people be greatly pro-
NOTED. With the contemplated reduction
Of taxes and the removal of the stumbling
block in the way Of reconstruction, we have
reason to anticipate a speedy restoration Of
the whole country to its wonted peace and
prosperity. Let not our Congressman and
Senators falter in their good work, nor the
people in their support, until both objects
are fully accomplished. There are many per.
plexities and difficulties besetting these
questions, causing delay in action and requir-
ing long, patient and careful investigation;
the people often become impatient, and think
hings move entirely too slowly, but if they

JUDGE WOODWARD threatens the Ma
tionaI Banks that they shall be blotted out
if they don t throw their influence in favor
of the Copperhead party.
This is amusing The Copporheads op-
posed the adoption of the whole financial
policy Of which the Banks are part; and
they are its natural enemies, because the
Banks help to keep up the credit Of the ma
ton. As they were powerless to prevent
the creation Of the system, they will be pow
erless to destroy it, for the men 11ho saUed
the country are the men ,5do are to rule It.
Judge Woodward tried to stop the War
By stopping the draft, but the draft went
on, and the War ended in glorious victory
He also tried to stop the War by declaring
illegal the greenback currency Of the coun-
try; but the currency was sustained and the
country by 1.-THE Judge is after third
victim for his rage, and has selected the

DEMOCRATIC THREATS OF AssAssINA.
moN. The Rev. c. Chauneey Burr
editor Of the Old Guard, openly advocates
in that magazine the assassination Of the
Radical members Of Congress as the readiest
way of solving the problem of reconstruction.
A hundred men, he says, ''of the pluck
and patriotism Of Wilkes Booth, at the
start of these terrible despotisms, would
have saved our country" &c. Butt Is
not vet too late, if the Democratic party
have the sagacity and pluck to call upon
the people to arm and muster for the saliva
ton of the country" The sanguinary ex-
clergyman has no doubt of the justice of the
policy he advocates THE moment any
man begins to play the despot, he forfeits
his right to life. Just as many days as
these Infamous tyrants Grant, Sherman,
Schofeld, and the Radical members OF
Congress have lived since they began their
despotism, hare tEey Tired too long. The
