rne 1ncop,e TAX uucUusrttutionaf,

That we arc patient and submissive pco-
pie is made clearer every day Most of our
readers have, doubtless, paid their income tax,
as ordered by the law, not, perhaps, without
grumbling, but without thinking to call it in
question. Do they consider that the Consti-
tuition is dead letter, and has been violated
so often and in so many ways during the last
seven years that it no longer stands as tho su-
prcmc law of the land? Do they consider
this tax act, as we'll as that making paper
money substitute and legal tender for
gold and silver, still binding as military ne
oessity. Let us see what the much neglected
and half forgotten Constitution says
In section I'd, clause Sd, we road: .Rep-
resentatives and direct taxes shall be appor-
toned among tho several States which may
be included within this Union, according to
their respective numbers"
In section 9th, clause 1st, it says: "All
duties, imports and excises shall be uniform
throughout the United States"
Section 9th, clause 4th, provides that mo
capitation or other direct tax shall be laid,
unless in proportion to the census, or enumer-
alton hereinbefore directed To be taken"
Nov, il needs no lawyer to see that our
whole system Of direct taxation, and especial
ly the income tax, isin utter violation of the
Constitution. There. is no equivocation or
ambiguity in the expressions which we quote,
and they are founded upon reason and cxpe.
ricncc; whore this privilege Of suffrage is
FREQ, it was wise to provide that taxes should
fall where tho voting docs, and thus hold all
sections and all classes responsible.
1t has been said that some strong and
wealthy people (good Republicans, and loyal,
of coursc) have never made return Of their
incomes, defying the assessors to test the law,
and that the test has mover been made. This
fact was stated last year in tho Now York
journa.. c. Commerce." without, SO fas as
wo know, icing denied. It is very natural
that while tho littlo fish are caught in the
taxing net, tho big oncs broak through and
60 clear.
AS tho people at lurgc arc not very flush Of
money about this time, we may expcc. .hst
some attention will be given to these matters.
The burthon chiefly falls upon what is com
monty called tho middling interest.

A WABnIYdToHrAT SHOT iH NORPOL&.-
Yesterday afternoon, about 0 o'clock, a man
named Lorenzo Brown-prlvate Waterman at
Reid's stave yard on India wharf-shot a
young man named Thomas Allen. 1t appears
that Allen and asparty Of young men were
passing through Cowdery's lane, from Main
street to Bermuda, when they met Brown, very
drunk, staggering through the lane towards
Main street, from Bermuda. Some remarks
were passed by the party, when Brown turned
suddenly and fired into the party, shooting
Allen in the abdomen, The wounded man was
carried by his comrades to the residence Of his
brotherin.law, Jos. Gully, and medical assist
ance sent for. Brown shot the second time at
by Rabbit Frost and WIN. Ramsey, who ar
rested him, took him to the watch. house, and
delivered him over to Detective Taylor, who
locked him up. Brown shows no Contrition
for his deed, but in 4 drunken spirit of bravado
regrets The had not killed two or three of the
lOafeTs," as he sees proper to call the party
with whom he came IN conflict. II Is our opin.
ion that 1t is more the fault of the whisky
Brown had imbibcd than the pistol he used.
Both are dangerous weapons, and we think
whisky is by far the worst one.-NorJON Jour-
nal, 18Th.
The Norfolk DGybook says "ThOmas lien,
day, was, we regret to announce, much worse
yesterday afternoon. The ball is stiil In him;
his abdomen Is much swollenj he passes blood
through his bowels; his suiferings are intense,
and but slight hopes OF his recovery are enter.
tanned"
Thomas Allen is said to he Washingtonian,
and brother of Dr. Charles Allen. The rela.
tivcs have been informed by letter that he is
in dying condition.
