JOURNALISTIC sLAYIsHNEss.

The New York Journal Of Commerce,
which is truly Independent paper, La
ments the decay of the fearless and
honest spirit that ought to character
ize the press in free country Its
structures are, in the main, Just. Joar.
nalism has changed its character folthe
better in many respects since twenty-five
years ago. 1t has more enterprise so>
called, but in entering more thoroughly
into business, it has become two much an
article of commerce itself The fact is too
true that selfshness has degraded it into
slayish degradation to party, and DISPOSE
ton to dieker and chatter in the market
and sell its influence, be it much brittle, to
the rising man for the Presidency, the
ruler of the stock board, or whatever may
prove advantageous to the interests Of its
conductors. 1t is not IN impartial cab
stract and brief chronicle of the time, -
and an Independent and high-toned com
mentator on current events Where is
the evil and what is the remedy? We are
prone to think that until some other evils
are corrected, the dependency of journal
ism is remedies.
The Journal Of Commerce says:
"The independence of the newspaper
press of this country has been woefnlly
broken down within the last few years.
Under the1aTty lash, one after another has
yielded, REtii we scarcely know whether
to wonder ii OF admire the audacity of the
few who dare to speak the truth. The in.
auences at work to effect this change, and
the processes by which it comes about, are
transparent 10 any careful observer. News
paper readers can scarcely have failed to
notice that a certain class of journalists
throw off much of their accustomed reserve
while important measures are pending in
Congress, or are otherwise publicly dis
cussed. They will at such times condemn
unsparingly measures which their better |
judgment repudiates; but no sooner are the
measures in question adopted by their party |
majority than these same editors humbly |
acquiesce, and with astonishing efrontery |
vie with all their fellows in sustaining that |
which they openly condemned. When the |
press sacrifices its independence, |
then it ceases to be the guardian of popular |
liberty, proves recreant to its highest duty,
and no longer deserves respect. The cow
ardice sometimes manifested under the in
of an arrogant political faction |
becomes in its relations nothing less than |

REFERRINe to the teIegraphic gossip
sent out from Washington a few days
since, that the AUTHORIZATION bill weuld
probably meet with an Executive veto,
the money column Of the New York
Tribune contains the following:
@The statement is too good to be true. A
few spectators would be hurt by resuming
and steadily pursuing the contraction of
the legal tenders, but the country at large
would reap great benefits. While money
goes begging at 4(95 per cent. is the time
to cancel legal tenders"
The rate of money in Wall and Will
liam streets, New York, is the verge of
the financial horizon to the class Of men
Of whom the financial editors in that city
are the representatives. Money, to capis
talists in their speculations, may 90 beg
ging at 4 to 5 per cent in that great overs
worked hive, but among the great mass
of people spread over the continent it is
very scarce at any price. They would
have legislation intended for forty mil
lions of people predieated upon, and va
ried according to the fluctuations of the
money market in that centre, They will
find to their cost after a while. if indeed
they have not already, that this sort OF
legislation is ruin to themselves as we'll
as everybody else.

RADICAL yINDICTIYENEss ILLUS

Gen. Butler recently recommended
that to the category of s'Rebel'' disabili-
ties be added exclusion from the control
or management Of railroad and other
chartered corporations He would haze
the influence Of moneyed Organizations
in the Southern States welded exclusive.
" by loyal hands. But perhaps the
most significant Indication Of the Radical
purposes toward the South has developed
itself in the course which ii is proposed
Congress shall pursue in regard to certain
grants Of land in aid of railroad enter
prises in the Southern States. Mr. Julian,
of Indiana, has made himself the cham>
pion Of this measure, which is designed to
punish the unreconstructed railroad men
Of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Florida by FORGETTING Congressional land
grants to uneompleted railroad enter
prises in those States. Advantage is to
be taken of the fact that the periods
originally prescribed for the construction
Of the roads have expired, and that,
therefore, the grants have become techni-
cally imperative The delay in the work
of the companies was one of the incis
dents Of the war and the confession is
frankly made, that the proposed forfeiture
is intended TO break down the corpora
tions because Southern citizens form the
great proportion Of the ineorporators.
The New York Times moderate Re-
pnblican) candidly admits that the pro-
posal is rendered especially inyidious by
the course pursued by the House during
the present session in the case Of a Vest
ern railroad whose title to liberal land
grant had lapsed by the expiration of the
specified time In this case the Dubuque
and Sioux City railroad-the grant was
renewed for "a term satisfactory to the
company, Notwithstanding the charge of
bad faith which has been preferred
against its management by the Governor
of Iowa And the general tone of the
House evinced a readiness to act similar
ly toward other Western projects, based
upon donations Of public lands, although
the projectors may have hitherto failed
to comply with the requirements of the
law.
This is a singing commentary upon
the yindictive course which the Radicals
in Congress are pursuing toward the
South. These men who TINS seek to
punish the Southern people, seem never
to reflect upon the inconsistency in
which they are continually involving
themselves. 1t is remarkable with what
vindictive hate these ultra Radicals have
pursued the Southern people since the
close of the war in field They have
never permitted the war to finally close,
and fearing a return Of the era of good
feeling, Ley have transferred the war
from the tented field to the halls of Con-
gress, and it has there been pursued
with relentless vindictiyeness that is
without parallel in the history of any
similar contest.

THE INCOME TAx.

The repeal Of the tax upon private ins
comes is beginning to be agitated. If the
rigid economical system, contemplated
under a republican form of government,
were pursued, many Of the special forms
Of taxatian now in practice would be nm
necessary to its support The govern
nent, for the past six or seven years, has
been undergoinga change of form. lthas
been aggrandizing itself at the expense
of the people Under an impending dan.
ger to the integrity of its soil, Juror
(patriOtic if you please) seized upon the
people, that INSCRIPTIONS and artful
demagogues have successfully used to the
complete perversion of It's spirit They
have erected the government into stu-
pendOus hydraulic apparatus to pump
into general reservoir the substance of
the people. Edmund Burke celebrated
portraiture of English taxation falls short
Of the spectacle presented to-day in the
United States. In the name of a bastard
loyalty, every species of expense is in-
Cured, and every form of monopoly is
fostered that can be made to minister to
the interests Of those who fill the public
purse and manipulate the purse strings.
The evil of Capitalization is supported
by the system of taxation which il estab-
lished. The only successful resistance
that can be made to it, will be to curtail
the supplies Upon this principle we
heartily indorse the views of the New
York San, as given in the following ex-
tract in regard to the income tax:
eff we have any financiers in Congress,
let them either give a satisfactory reason
for maintaining this tax in its present
form, or al once amend the manner of col.
lecting il. II may be well enough to re-
quire payment Of it from the banks, rail.
roads, and other stock companies, hut more
than this is unnecessary and impolitic.
That the tax eoaid be dispensed with, to
the extent we mention, will be apparent
from the fact that of the S265, 100000 of
internal revenue collected during the last
fiscal year, only $57, 000,0O was from in-
comes, and of this, s., 100000 was from
bank, railroad and insurance dividends |
alone. Now, "a our annual national ex
peuses are TO be only $500, 900, of which |
one-half will be derived from customs, the |
withdrawal of the income tax would sill |
leave us surplus of $50, GOO, 600 over and
above all our needs. Even upon the re-
duced estimates of internal revenue for the \
year, which, according 70 Commits
sioner Rollins, will be 1925, 100000, Ihere
will still be considerable surplus. Indeed,
if the whisky distillers alone were only
made TO pay the amount they should pay,
The whole of the income tax aud many
other revenue exactions might be entirely |
done away with

whose name is urged with so much in

resolution declaring TO the people of South
Carolina and the world against the dispo-

that the investment of the funds Of estates

Bitter discussion followed in the ordi-

The Mobile Times is one Of the few
papers in the South that came out for
General Grant for President before he
had acted with such utter disregard of
his plighted faith to President Johnson.
Since this exhibition of perfdy on the

down its eolOrs with the following ex-

The world has never witnessed more
useless sacrifice of personal popularity than
that exhibited by the self>ordained suicide
OF General Grant. With every chance in
his favor to become the savior--the second
father of his country-he seems to have
been only inspired by the evil genius of
Reorganization, and to have bartered the
highest chances of legitimate fame for the
qualification of petty temporary power"
