1t is claimed by the Democracy that
all the property in the United States,
invested in Government Bonds, is en-
tireIy exempt from taxation. This false
hood is well calculated to deceive those
who are not familiar with the facts of
the business. It is true that the Gener-
al Government levies no tax on the
bonds, and what sense would there be
in it's doing so, since by SO doing it
would only reduce the value of the
bonds in the amour. of tax. Nothing
would be gained. Nor can the States
tax the bonds directly, for similar rea
son. Although there is nc direct tax
on the bonded debt, it is yet the fact
that there is only about one-fourth of
the bonded debt which is not subject to
taxation indirectly. The reports of Gov
amount of per cent $40 bonds is 81,
goo, 000,0 900. Of this sum there are held in
Europe, and of course no. subject to
taxation by our government, $650,00O,
which can be indirectly taxed, being
held mainly by corporations as security
for their stocks. OF this amount the
National Banks hold S425. 900, 600, and
no form Of property in the whole Uni
ted States pays SO large tax, both local
and general, as these banks. The stock,
repositories, and deposites, which these
four hundred and twenty five millions
of bonds represent, pay full local tax at
the highest rates, besides National tax
averaging two and half per cent
Deducting from the full amount of
taxable bonds the amount held by the
National Banks and we have 1926, O00,-
900 left. From this sum we must also
deduct the amount of bonds held by
Insurance Companies, Savings Banks
and other corporations, whose stocks
are either heavily taxed or exempted,
as in the case of Savings Banks, by
State laws. These amount to $3.50, 900
900. This leaves the amount of untaxed
bonds at $495, O00,O 900, which are scat
tered among the people in quantities
averaging from fifty to hundred dol
lars. They are also subject to an indi-
riot tax upon the income derived from
them. So that it appears that, while
there is no direct tax upon the bonds,
there is no portion of taem, except
those held in Europe, which are not
yielding daily something toward defray-
ing the expenses and paying the debt of
the Nation. Notwithstanding these
facts, the Democrats will continue to
cry aloud that the bonds are not taxed.
They are compelled to resort to false
hood, by stubborn necessity, as they
have no argument founded on facts to
justify their claims to power.

DIvCRcEs.-The facility with which
divorces are granted in the State of
Indiana, is blight and a mildew upon
her good name. If the next Legislature
would only put proviso to the present
law, making it penitentiaxy offence for
either party (male or female) procuring
a divorce, ever marrying any body else,
during their natural lives, we verify be-
tlieve a less number of divorces would
be applied fort would effectually put
a stop to so many applications for di-
vorcement, and take away the reproach
from our State. The religious sanctity
of the marriage ceremony, should be
engrafted on the law "what God
has joined together, let no man put
asunder."

GEN, NATHAN KIMBALL.

This brave and accomplished soldier,
and the present efficient Treasurer OF
State, was in our city on Friday night
last, and. at Phillips Hall delivered a
speech rcplete with facts and fortified
with figures, and full of righteous and
indignant denunciations of the South
ern traitors Who inaugurated the rebell-
ion, and those so-calIed stDemocrats" in
the North who gave laid and comfort to
the enemy" and thus assisted them in
trying to destroy the life Of the Nation.
We have not room to follow General
Kim ball, if we were able to do so,
which we are not, throughout his i'm
pressive speech; bat there was one thing
he illustrated to the satisfaction of his
numerous auditors; and that was on the
bond question. He instanced Bond
holder, with az income derived from
interest on his Bonds, of $4,000. He
is allowed to deduct $1,000, and the
government tax on the balance ,G00)
amounts to S2G0. Now, says the Gen
eral, here is a farmer, whose income is
precisely that of the Bond holder, and,
same and the tax he would pay to Uncle
Sam would be the same (S200) were it
not for the fact that he is permitted to
deduct from the $4,000, his farm repairs
the cost of his labor in producing his
crops = his State, County, Township,
Municipal, School, and Road Taxes
all these expenses are taken from the
$4,000 income, and it leaves the farmer
very small sum, if any, to pay into the
hands of the u. S. Collector: III e showed
conclusively, that unless a man HAD an
income Of over thousand dollars, he
paid no tax, and if he had that much,
he could not be considered poor man,
and ought to pay something for the sup
port Of good government and the pro-
lection it afforded him.
:. Phillips Hall was densely crowded
present-and, at least another thousand
could not get into the Hall.
| Between sixty and seventy Of the
''Fighting Boys ia rlue,' with their
torches, and under the command of the
gallant Major John Sim, were met at
the National Bridge by crowd of our
citizens and the Richmond Band, and
escorted up Main street to the Hail.
The appearance Of the soldier boys,
with their neat uniform, and armed and
equipped with LIGHTED LAMPS, infused
life into our boys, who are determined
to return the compliment of their Cen
treville brethren with interest, and show

after passing the act granting it to

not certified up to the Secretary of State,

That plank of the New York platform
ton should be paid according to their
letter and spirit, is no Quixotic excess
of honor. Many Of the bonds were is
sued when no other currency than gold
existed All the Five wenties were is
sued or authorized before it was dreamed
that this clamor for paying them in de-
preciated currency would obtain to dan
gerous proportions. It was not stipu.
lated in any acts authorizing these loans
prior to the Ten Forties, that they should
be payable in gold. First, because no
other medium of payment was thought
of; and secondly, because no other med
ium of payment would have complied
with the terms. They call for the paw
ment of dollars and tsdollar'' is
plainly defined by the statutes of the
| United States as a coin of a certain
weight and fineness. No act of the Uni
ted States has ever made greenback a
dollar, or anything more than a note
promising to pay dollar. II is declar
ed .slawful money" and q legal tender
sin payment Of debts but none of the
Five Twenties are payable in lawful
money! or legal tender They are all
expressly payable in dollars and hence
the Democratic platform, in declaring
that bonds payable in dollars shall not
be paid in dollars, but in deprecated
paper notes, or promises, whether of the
United States, or Patagonia, or John
Smith, is reputation both of the spirit
and the letter. Our platform is pervaded
by tone of earnestness and sincerity
in the language in which it vindicates
the national faith, which shows that it
| means what it says.

The BURGLARs.--Th burglars have not
accomplished much for several nights past.
Everybody is OF the lookout for them.
One of them, in trying to break into the
house of Geo. Thompson. corner of High
street and Cumberland alley Sunday night,
was fred upon by Mr.. Charlie Thompson,
bat succeeding in getting away before the
police came up. The shooting led to an
absurd report yesterday that a dead man
had been found on Broad street
A second attempt was made to enter the
house of Mrs. Polk on Saturday night, bat
the family becoming aroused, and the po-
lice arriving, the providers made of.
Yesterday morning q burglar in attempt
ing to make his way into the house w. Hy.
Smith, South Spruce street. made too
much noise, and was compelled to beat a
retreat before accomplishing anything.
Several shots were fired at burglar on
Sunday night, from the house of Mrs.
Woods, 80 North High street.
Late Sunday hight, the attention Of two
policemen in the vicinity of Nauxhall
street was attracted by the screams of two
Young ladies, who, on the arrival Of the
officers, declared there were burglars in the
house. Raising the window, the police
quickly gained the inside of the building,
but after close search of every nook and
corner, could find nothing. Both the ladies
were armed with pistols, and were greatly
relieved on finding themselves safe, one Of
them demurely remarking: "WeIl, ]
reckon il must have been the wind p The
officers guessed 81" and got out

Walker, the alleged murderer of John
Bieknell, the young man whose dead body
was found upon the highway, ten miles
from Mount Pleasant, on Friday last, was
captured on Saturday by party Of the
Ku-Klux Khan, near Shelbyville. He was
from thence taken to Columbia and lodged
in jail on Sunday. The feeling against
him at Columbia, where Bicknell lived,
was most intense, and il was feared a mob
would take him from the Jail and hang
him.
The evidence against him was conclu-
siye, as the horse he road, and a pocket
book which he had, were readily identified
"a BicknelPs, and pistol as one which
Bicknell had borrowed from Mr.. Pickett
on leaving Columbia.
The funeral of Bicknell took place yes
terday morning at Columbia, and was
largely attended. A body Of twenty of the
Ku-Klux, mounted, with their horses ap-
propriately caparisoned, were in the pro-
cession which followed the remains of the
murdered man to the grave.

Question Of ITS Limitation.
There seems to be an opinion prevalent

afer that date cannot get discharge IN.
less they pay City per cent. OF their indebt.
ness. We think both Of these supposition.
are erroneous, and that petitioners who Gle
their cases with the Clerk before the fjrsl
Of June, 1868, will not be required TO nav
fifty per cent. in order to obtain their dis
charge. The provisions Of the bankrupt
law relating 10 this point are contained In
sections Ihirty-three and fifty, and are as
follows:
Section 80. And be il further enacted.
That 10 debt created by the fraud or en-
bezzleinent Of the bankrupt, or by his de-
ialcaiion as public officer. or while acting
in hduciary character, shall be discharged
under this act but the debt NAV be proved
and the diyidened thereon shall be a pay
ment on account of said debt, and no dis
charge granted under this act shall release.
discharge or affect any person liable for the
same debtor or with the bankrupt, either as
partner, joint contractor, indorser, surety, or
otherwise. And in all proceedings in bank
ruptcy, commenced after one year from the
time this act shall go into operation, no
discharge shall be granted to a debtor
whose assets do not pay fifty per centum of
the claims against his estate, unless the
assent, in writing, Of majority in number
and value OF his creditors who have proved
their claims, is filed in the case at or before
the time of application for discharge.
Sec. 80. And be it further enacted, That
this act shall commence and take effect, as
TO the appointment Of the officers created
hereby, and the PRONUNCIATION Of rules and
general orders, from and after the date Of
its approval; provided, that no petition or
other proceeding under this act shall be
filed, received, or commenced before the
hrst day Of June, Anao D0miai eighteen
hundred and sixty-seyen.'
II would seem from the terms used in
the above sections that the intention was
clearly to allow those persons who were in
iailtng circumstances one year in which to
avail themselves Of the benefit of the act,
and not nine months, and the words "from
the time this act shall 60 into operation"
must be construed to refer TO the period
from which operations under the act by
parties interested might be commenced,
namely, June lsty as before this time the
act had only a very limited effect, and was
