REpUpIATIoN.--On the first page of to-day's
paper we publish communication signed
Bona Fides, written by gentleman for whose
opinions we in common with all other citizens
of Portland entertain the greatest possible re-
spect. In this case, however, he treats of bond
taxation in a manner that eompels our most
emphatic and almost indignant dissent. We
are inclined to believe that he speaks ironically
when'he comes to the defence of those whom
we had denounced for voting for Cobb's lnfa-
nous resolution, declaring that "they stand as
squarely on the Chicago platform as the strait
est of us, and calling them there's and repudi-
Gtors does not make them So but does make US
sc0lds and cdlunniatorS." We have never
called the Democrats and the Pike, Stevens
and Butler Republicans who voted for the res
olution to tax the coup ons ten per cent, thieves,
but so many of them is voted for it in good
faith, and not for the purpose of moving
consideration, (Mr Bingham and many others
were subsequently glad to avail themselves of
that loop-hoe to escape the castigation they at
once received from the entire Republican press)
we shall feel bound to call repudiators until a
new code of ethics, unlike any yet recognized
In any civilized country whatever, shall be
tabljshed. The case is too plain for argument
even from Bona Fides' own statements. He
says that "the United States in a time Of dire
necessity asked loan from its citizens 1t
promised them in solemn statute to pay for
the sum loaned interest at tiue and si1 per cent
in coin" The Republican platfolm insists
upon "the payment OF the public Indebtedness,
in the utmost good faith to creditors at home
and abroad, not only according to the letter
but the spirit of the law under which it was
contracted" The resolution reported from the
Committee on Ways and Means in obedience
to the Cobb resolution is in the Sc terms: "The
amount of interest hereafter paid on any bonds
or other securities of the United States, bear
ing interest at sir per cent shall be at the rate of
only fve and Jour-tenths per cent" &c. traF
1t is the feeblest sophi stry to endeavor to
conceal this "gross, open and palpable' seques-
tration of the interest promi sed by "a solemn
stateute" by declaring it to be mere extern
sion OF the principle of the income tax. The
income from government securities, like all
all other income, if of sufficient amount, is
subject to taxation, but it is after it loses
its identity as interest, and as part of the
debt, and becomes absorbed in the mass of the
citizens property. To tax coupons, 60 nonai,se,
and at an unjustly discriminating rate, retain
ing the tax at the Treasury, is altogether
another matter. Austria and Italy have just
set the example OF imposing such a tax, but it
is there regarded as q confession of national
insolvency, this "heroic treatment" being iusti-
fled only on the ground that the credit of those
governments is SO low that they can no longer
negotiate loans and their poverty SO great that
they can hope to realize nothing from legiti-
mate taxation.

AoTHER CARPET BAGGER."-Mr Dawes of
Congress administered very just reproof to
Mr.. James Brooks, member OF Congress from
this city. When the delegation from Alabama
was sworn in yesterday, Mr. Brooks took occa-
sion to denominate them "carpet- baggers" Mr.
Dawes replied that such a sheer came with bad
grace from the gentleman, who was himself a
carpet-bagger from the State of Maine, who
had been sent to Congress from New York.
The hit was most palpable, for Mr. Brooks was,
as our readers know from letters of his which
have been published in the Evening Post
strong anti-slavery man in Maine, but changed
his opinions when he came to New York. He
was, perhaps, the original "carpet-bagger. -

EXCURSION OF THE BAPTIST SOCIETIES.
We understand that the excursion party of
these societies, arranged for Tuesday next has
been changed, inasmuch as the destination is
to be Little Chebeague Island instead of Harps-
we'll. This is done to allow two trips from the
city. The most liberal arrangements are made
for good time mammoth chowder, free
to all, will be served up and among the
games will be base ball and foot ball, with
archery, croquet, and swings for the young
ladies and children. The boat is capacious
and can carry large number of people, and
everybody knows the beauties of the island.

her career at the White House during his life.

old clothes business in New York under an

THE Argus defends Thurman's living speecb

very plainly mere typographical error in our
editorial on that subject, and by declaring that
the speaker referred to state of things exist

referred to no such thing His speech was
made at a Democratic convention in West
virginia weeks after both taxes had been re-
peaied. He spoke of them as existing at the
present time as anyone may see by referring
to the extract published in the Press and Ar
gus. The case against him is even stronger
than we first stated it, for of the eight hundred
million which he declared had been expended
on the army and nary alone since the war, sir
hundred and twenty-five million was devoted to
the payment of sums due those branches of
