Taxing Government Bonds.

ME4sRs, EpIroRs Il have been think
ing that there has not been reason and ar
gumeut placed i'll the public prints. Is
there should have been, to show the pro-
priety as well as the necessity of the gov
ernmcnt bonds being exempted from tax
alton, and the injustice of the Democratic
party in the course it takes in relation 10
the bonds being exempt from taxation,
and the great cry about nnegHW taxation.

occurred, which illustrates the whole sub
iect. 4 man living in large town had a
hundred thousand dollars (Sl00,o00I, i'll

broke out, and he was alarmed about his
money mot his country; he was afraid
of all securities, and he talked with every
man he met about what was safe. \
large majority advised him to invest in
government bonds but he said no, for
the rebels would never be put down by Co
ercion. and the bonds would not be good.
Finslly he met with farmer who owned
farm out of town worth one hundred
thousand dollars he says to Mr. farmer
what shall do with money and have It
safe The farmer replies put II te
bonds-that's the best security III the
world; then you won't have any taxes to
pay, your interest will come twice year,
and you can live as easy as you please
But the man that had the money says no
| won't risk it, l want my money where
can command it, and if had it in good
farm, the radicals could not steal it, and
| should feel comparatively safe. But the
farmer says to him, then you will have to
pay very heavy taxes. I'll risk that, says
he, for they can't run away with the
farm. Well, the farmer says, If that's
your mind, l will shift round with
you, and you may have my farm,
and | will take the hundred thousand
and invest it in government bonds
It's a bargain, says the man; give
me a deed, and here's the money
For convenience sake / will call the man
that sold the farm Jones, and the one that
bought Redfeld, mot I. ?. Jones, decided
his farm, took the money and invested II
in bonds; sold off what personal property
he didn't want to take into city with
him, with which he bought respectable
homestead, where he lived quiet and
easy life, read the papers, and got his in
terest twice year, 'and bought NOR,
bonds. Redfeld went on to his farm ant
made money, while, in the mean time, th'
constable would call on him occasionail,
for large tax. He was perfectly able t
pay it, though he disliked to very much
though there was no escape. He woult
look on the tax book and see very small
tax against Jones' name, and after Will
began to whine about paying so mucl

A Son BEATS his MOTHER To DEATH.
The Troy Evening Press gives the FOL,
lowing account of the beating Of mother
to death by her son, at Stephentown, n. Y
We have the particulars Of an outrage,
resulting in the death Of the victim, which
occurred in Stephentown last week. The
facts in the ease as we learn them seem
TO be about as follows: Edward Swami, Q
somewhat dissolute character, had been
residing with his mother in house situ'
ated about mile west Of Stephcntown
Flats. Mrs. Swami is quite aged and fee
BILE. The sou is about thirty years Of ag'
and unmarried. On the night of the out
rage which resulted in the death of the
mother, Swami went home, it is supposed
in an intoxicated condition. He quar-
relied with his mother, and beat her in
most brutal and shameful manner. Afte,
he had beaten her, the fiend drove th'
woman out of doors in the midst of
heavy snow storm and a chilling atmos
phere She proceeded about six rods fron
/ her home in order 10 escape her inhumal
sons wrath, when she fell exhausted Z
the ground Her remains were not foun,
until two days after the occurrence
Swami has since been arrested.
