The Income Tax.

Those who are now engaged in preparing
their returns Of Income for taxation, says
the Lancaster Daily Insenigeneer, should
remember that the whole product Of the
income tax does not pay one-half of the
cost Of the standing army; and that the
sole employment Of the army is to keep the
people Of the South in subsection to negroes
and Yankee adventurers.
tits for this purpose only that the odious,
inquisitorial and oppressive income tax is
continued. Being peculiarly war tax, it
should have ended with the war; but it is
prolonged because the expenses Of the war
are extended into period Of peace. This
grinding tax is assessed upon the product Of
labor as well as of capital. Itislevied upon
the living Of the people, and tolls the food
that enters the mouth Of the citizen. It
confscates the gross product Of the twentieth
year Of every mans life to the government.
The citizen must work one year Of every
twenty for the government, and find himself.
And he must do this to contribute to the
despotism in the South. The income tax is
needed for no other purpose.
1t has also been recently shown, by the
opinion of an eminent New York lawyer,
that this tax is unconstitutional. 1t is, if
possible, even more clearly 50 than the Le-
gal Tender, Reconstruction and Tenure-of-
Office Iniquities. 1t is quite ss useless,
inconvenient and burthensome" to the peo-
pie of the country. The fact is, that under
an economical administration of government
we should need no taxes, except customs,
excises on liquors and tobacco, and stamps.
These would furnish ample means to pay
the interest on the debt and support the
government as the fathers left it.

" Impeachment"


1t is to be hoped that neither VIC nor our
readers will much longer be distressed with
the above heading. The grand farce at
Washington is nearly at an end. With the
close Of the present week tho curtain will
probably fall; and be the result what it may,
future generations will look upon the dis
graceful drama which has been enacted up
on the boards Of National Theatre with
wonder, at least, and, We fear, with disgust,
if not horror. For, viewing the matter Of
the impeachment Of the President in any Of
its aspects, we, are disgraccd people.
There is obvious Weakness in high quarters; !;
or else all this conld not have happened.
Imagine a Washington, a Jefferson, q Jack
son "impcached':!by by a faction styling itself
the House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States, comsS1d of such men as
Stevens, Bingham, 2 Butlerl The sugges-
tion is sufficient; t6spictpre which the im-
piled contrast exhibiss speaks for ITSELF 1t
tells us that there is weakness as well as
wickedness in high quarters; and the only
hope Of rational men is, that the American
people will profit by'this woari;qes, sicken-
ing display Of wretched imbedlity, and
brazen-faoed political villainy,,'jsthd return to
the customs of the fathers Of the Republic,
who saw to it that none but men with men
almusclcs Of iron, and nerves Of steel, and
with minds as pure as they were strong,
should occupy tn" halls Of Legislation, o,
the chair Of the chief magistrate Of the
Nation. No matter what the result Of this
trial may be, the lesson is the same. Lei
US profit byit.
On Saturday last the evidence for thu
President virtually closed. On that day al
effort was made by his counsel to introduce
the testimony of the Cabinet officers to prove
that Mr.. johnson had consulted them OF
the subject Of the tenure.ofofice.bill, and
as to how far Mr.. Stanton came within III
provisions the object on the part Of the
President being to show that he had not act
cd unadvisedly in the matter Of the removal
of Stanton, but with the full concurrence
Of all his constitutional advisers, Stanton
himself of course excepted. This evidence
was ruled out, by vote Of 20 to 20, thui
shutting of the light which might have
been thrown upon the motives and intent Of
the President in tho removal of Stanton
This ruling was in perfect accord with the
previous conduct Of the Radical Senate in
tho trial of this cause. No fair, open in
query into Ell tho circumstances Of the
case. No manly willingness that grave
and reverend Senators should hear the
truth, the whole truth, aud nothing but the

Grant as q Gardner.

Grant is decidedly great man. He has
seen much Of the world; and among other
sights he has had the good fortune to wit
ness, was the vast array Of dead "boys in
blue" streaching from the Rapidan to, and
swinging around Richmond, which greet
ed his vision four short years ago. Grant
has q peculiar love for the soldier. He
knows the "boys in blue" are brave, for
didn't he, on various and sundry occasions,
tell them to assail impcnetrablerobel breast
works, and didn't they do SO, to the delight
Of himself, and of Moloch, the prince Of
blood2 True, hundred went, and ten came
back, but this was generalship. But then,
the wives and children Of these. dead men.
How they would be grati6ed to know that
their husbands aud fathers went to their
death ut the command Of this great and
wise General 1t is so sweet to die for ones
especially When told to put yourself
in position to do so by an Illinois tanner
who smokes cigars and talks hoss the while.
But Grant is now given to peaceful ways.
He, or rather his soldiers, are to take to
gardening. By an order recently issued by
the dear. delightful, humane, gentlemanly
General, the young men who went from US
to put on the Eagles and the Blue Of a
United States Soldier are to be set to raising
turnips and hoeing cabbages! Your young
brother who expected that, although he
would have to endure the hardships and
fatigue incident to camps and marches, yet
he would be allowed, nay expected to carry
his musket, proudly in the presence Of his
friends, dedantly in the face Of his enemies,
saying to himself in the spirit Of true man,
am an American soldier-this brother Of
yours is to hoo cabbagesl
Not that there is Anything disgraceful in
the employment itself, but for several rca.
sons, it is disgraceful that such task should
be imposed on an American soldier. The
soldiers life is, for all he IL compelled to
endure in the way of fatigue, and filth, to
say nothing Of submission to imperious au-
thority, proud life. He is to do no mcnial
service. He can work at an entrenchment,
or in the construction Of fort, for these
are within the line Of soldiers duty. But
to hoe cabbagesl Bahl And this in the
presence Of thousands Of lazy negroes, who,
when not eating the rations furnished by the
Freedman's Bureau, are standing around
with their hands in their pockets! It will be
a query with many white soldier whether
it is more the intention Of the Lieutenant
General to degrade him than elevate the
negro. Co.,. t. t.. -e

Tuesday Of last week, petition signed by
1000 freedmen Of South Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama, asking the government to aid
them in immigrating to Liberia. The peti.
ton sets forth that the petitioners cannot
obtain employment, that there is no hope
of being able to overcome the prejudice
that exists against their race, and therefore
they desire to accept the advantages offered
by Liberia to persons Of color. The peti.
ton was referred to the Finance Committee
A resolution was adopted directing the

country labor hard to show that Andrew
johnson has been and is endeavoring to car
ry out Z" the lamented" Lincoln's policy ant
plan Of reconstruction. Should this be tht
case would that entitle johnson to the sup
port of the Democratic party? Where il
the Democrat who approved Of and sup
porh d the reconstruction plan Of Lincoln
We should like to see him. The fact is, i
matters nothing to the Democratsas . part!
whether johnson is holding to Lincoln
plans or not; and it Is, in our opinion, use
less for the press to endeavor to prove tina
he is. If johnson stands upon the plat
form Of "the lamentsd" second Christ, j
| is very Inconsistent in the Abolition part!
