The Greenback Question I'm New
~ York.

The principle Of paying the ive-twen-
ty bonds in Greenbacks is gradually
gaining ground in the East. The White.
hall Times, pablished in Washington
county, New York, thus. says:
"During the war il was claimed by
the fathers of the financial policy, that
greenbacks werelas good as gold, and SC
Congress, in fit of loyalty, passed law
declaring thatpaper was, the value ofgold
and that water must run up hill. Citi-
zens were incarcerated in Federal bas-
tile because they questioned the divinity
Of greenbaeks. Now it is proposed to
pay the Government debt in the legal
currency Of the country, upon which is
engraved the following words:
"This note is legal tender for all
debts, public or private, except duties on
imports and interest on the public debt,
and is receivable in payment of ALL
LOANS MADE TO THE UNITED STATES" /"
"Lo, and beholdl The country is
startled with this proposition of repu-
diaion. Radicals cannot receive the le-
gal currency of the country in payment
Of bonds. Ali theyillians have invent
ed a new rule Of infamy. They now
want gold.-the pound of flesh and q
quart Of Christian blood. Taxation of
the laborer's cottage is right and just,
and SO is the taxation of bonds. One
principal must govern this question:
Equality of taxation and one currency
for all the debts. The people demand it
1.-The people will have it "

1@ The beautiful murderess, Baroness
Ebergenyi, in Jail in Vienna, was recent
ly caught bribing one of the keepers to
take letter from her to her relatives
For this attempt to violate the prison
rules, she was sentenced to forty eight
hours in the dark cell, on bread and water.
Up to that time she had always main
tanned the most surprising self-possession
but when she was taken to the dark cell,
and saw the straw on which she was to
lie for two days, she burst into violent
fit of weeping and sob5ing, and then, get
ting desperate, she resisted the jailors,
who finally, after tearing her whole dress
hurled her headlong into the cell. Only
FIVE months since, she was still admitted
to the most aristocratic circles, and gen.
orally admired for her beauty and grace.

s@- The Glasgow (Mo) Times gives a
"bit Of political history" to show how
Lincoln was nominated in 1860, and how
Greeley kept Seward out of the Presi-
dental chair. The story is related on
the authority Of former resident Of
Wisconsin, who claims to be party to
the transaction, and who states that
Greeley, being actively opposed to Sew
ard, published in his New York Tribune
the minutes Of convention purporting
to have been held in Texas, appointing
three men to the National Republican
Convention in Chicago. 81. G. had seen
their names in report of Republican
meeting in Wisconsin, and "to those men
he wrote, inclosing a certificate accredi-
ting them as delegaS, and also check
for S100 each." The consequence was,
according to the Times, that, when on
the final ballot the vote was close be-
tween Seward and Lincoln, the Texas
delegations composed Of obscure Wis
consin saw-millers, voted in body for
Old Abe, and he was nominated.

CaIhoun's Prediction.

The Charleston papers republish Cal
houn's prediction Of 1926. It is as fol-
lows:
The blacks and the profigate whites
that might unite with them, would be-
come the principal recipi ents of the Fed.
eral officers. and would in consequence
be raised above the whites of the South
in the political and social scale. We
would, ina word, change conditions with
Them, a degradation greater than has yet
fallen to the lot Of a free and enlighten-
ed people, and one from which we could
not escape, should emancipation take
place (Which it certainly will do if not
prevented) but by fleeing the homes. Of
ourselves and our ancestors, and by aban-
doning our country to our former slaves,
to become the permanent abode Of dis
order, anarchy, poverty, misery and
wretchedness.

BEN FISHER.
Ben Fisher had Just finished his hard days


Ben Fisher had Just finished his hard day
work,
And sat at his cottage door;
His good wife, Kate, sat by his side.
And the moonlight danced on the floor
The moonlight danced on the cottage floor,
Her beams were clear and bright
As when he and Kate, twelve years before,
Talked love in her mellow light,
Ben Fisher had never a pipe Of clay,
And never dram had he;
So at home with his wife he loved to stay,
And they chatted right merrily-
Right merrily they ohattsd all the while
Her babe did sweetly rest,
While chubby rogue with a rosy smile,
On his fathers knee found rest.
Ben told her how fast the potatoes grew,
The corn in the lower field,
The wheat on the hill was growing to seed,
And promised aglorious yield
A glorious yield in the harvest time;
His orchard was doing fair,
His sheep and his stock were in their prime,
And his house in good repair.
Kate said her garden looked beautiful;
Her fowls and her calves were fat,
While the butter that Tommy that morning
had churned
Would buy him Sunday hat;
That Jenny for Pa new shirt had made,
And it was done by the rule;
That Neddy the garden could nicely spade,
And Ann was ahead at school.
Ben slowly raised his toil-worn hands,
Through his locks OF grayish brown:
al tell you, Kate, what think" said he,
aWe're the happies, folks in town."
81 know" says Kate, 1--WE all work hard;
Work and health go together, rve found;
For there's Mrs. Bell, who don't work at all,
And she's sick the whole year round.
'They're worth their thousands, SO people
say,
But meier saw them happy yet;
'Twould not be me would take their gold,
And live in a constant fret.
My humble home has light within
Mrs. Bells gold could not buy
Six healthy children, a merry heart,
And husbands love-tit eye.'
fancied a tear was in Ben's eye;
The moon shone brighter and clearer;
couldn't tell why the man should cry,
But he hitched up to Kate still nearer;
He leaned his head on her shoulder there,
And took her hand in his;
And guess. though l looked at the moon
just then,
That he left on her lips kiss.

Tobacco Tax LEGISLATION.

What provisions the House Committee
of Ways and Means have inserted in the
new bill respecting tobacco, we know not,
but if their character may be determined
by analogy we have no doubt they will
not meet the requirements Of the case.--
The case is briefly this: Last year the en-.
tire consumption was upwards Of 130,-
100000 pounds-tax due $4,000, 900,
tax received SIS, ,250, 900; difference in fa-
vor of fraud, $26,750,000. Now, premi.
sing that the Committee will this year
leave open the same doors for fraud that
it has left open in each of the past five
years, and being sensible that all attempts
to close them must be made in the House,
while the new bill is up for passage, we
are induced 10 offer some suggestions
which should commend themselves to
those who have the interest of the reye-
nue. sincerely at heart.
To begin, then. let the tax on all kinds
Of tobacco, without respect Of grade or
method of manufacture, be uniform in
rate; let no person enter upon the manu-
facture or preparation of the article for
use without license. and without fur
nishing valid bond of $4,000 as q min
imum-to be increased according to the
productive capacity Of the factory; let
plug tobacco Gin which heavy frauds are
committed) not be allowed to 60 on the
market in packages weighing less than
ten pounds; let fine cut and smoking to-
bacco be put up and sold in packages of
one, two, four and sixteen ounces only;
let proper stamps be issued adapted to
the various packages, to besold solely by
collectors; let every package have stamp
affixed before leaving the factory or bon
ded warehouse for consumption; let the
factories in each district be so registered
at the collectors Office, and the produc-
tion Of each be SO marked that tobacco
wherever found can readily be traced to
the place of manufacture-all tobacco
found in the market without such marks
to be seized, forfeited, and sold as fraud
lent, for the public benefit; let reworking
by one factory of the product of another
factory be prohibited under heavy penal
ties, manufacturers only to be permitted
to rework their own production; let in
spectors, giving bonds Of not less than
$4,000, be appointed for proper inspec-
tion, marking, &C., such inspectors to re-
ceive regular salary, and in no case to
receive compensation from manufacturers;
finally, let violation of the law and Off
cial collusior be made punishable by fine
and imprisonment. eG
We venture to say thatif the law we're
framed upon some such basis as is indi.
Gated in these suggestions the revenue
for the year following its passage would
be much nearer $50, 900, 600 from tobacco
than it has ever. yet been. Some kinds
of fraud, at least, would disappear like

Brooklyn tobacco, which is kno,on to cost
upwards Of 70 cents per pound, if tax be
paid, would not be found selling in this
market for go cents, and in the Boston
market for the same price. You would
not then see, as you now do, two factories
within two rods of each other-one of
which can SO undersell the other as to
break up its trade, both buying raw ma
terial from the same parties at the same
price, aHd both under the same amount of
expenses; yet this thing is openly done
here and when the attention of the re7e.
nue. authorities at Washington is directed

character going on at this very moment.

proper time We may give them..

which is what the trade calls fine-cut
