FoBTLEEH CONGRESS-.

On Thursday, IN the House, the death
Of the late Congressman Hamilton, Of
Ohio, was officially announced, and
anlogies were delivered by AIessrs. Nor
gan, Buekland Wellzer.....,Mr. Banks,
rom the COMMITTEES on Foreign Affairs,
has prepared q bill for the projections of
American citizens abroad. An almost
imnumerable number of new bills, res
oIutionst d1e.s were presented in the
House, few Of which were of general
or viii ever come from the
COMMITTEES rooms, to which they were
consigned,....-In the Senate Mr.. Ed
muudss of Vermont, introduced a bill
for regulating proceedings in impeach-
menE cases...... Representative EggIes-
ton, of Ohio, had read by the Secretary,
as a question of privilege, the an
nouncement that General Beatty had
been elected by 1000 majority IN the
Eighth District of this State. Mr.. POM
eroy, of New York, from the Committee
on Banking and Currency, reported two
bills-one providing for the taxation by
State laws Of shares of National Bank
stock, and the other providing that Ma
btonal Banks should not be made de-
positories Of public money when there
is a United States Treasurer or Sub
Treasurer within fifty miles, both of
which passed without a division.

Union viot0Ey in ths Eighth Distriot

IT cannot be denied that a Republican
defeat in the important Congressional
election in the adjoining district would
have disheartened Republicans
throughout the Union. 1t would have
been taken as an indication that the re-
action that seemed to have set in favor
of the peace Democracy on the return Of
peace, still continued to operate with
full force and effect. Our defeat in the
Eighth District under the cirCumsban-
ces would have cast doubt in the minds
of some upon our ability to carry even
Ohio for the Chicago nominee.
But the reaction at length reacts. The
people of this loyal State object to be
handed over to the tender mercies of un-
repentant traitors in the South and
North, who decided when they had the
power that the proper treatment of a
Union man was to hang him. They do
not wish men to become the makers of
the laws who ought to be the subjects
of the laws, and feel the weight of the
law. They do not wish that all distine-
tiOu between treason and loyalty shall
yet be broken down. They are not pre-
pared to say that all the privileges and
immunities belonging the Constitution
to citizens of the United States shall be.
taken away by any half-dozen men who
happen to constitute the government of
a dislOyal State.
As between johnson representing the
rebellion and Congress representing the
Union, the people of the Eighth District
have decided In favor of the latter.
Whether the South shall be governed or
sEall govern as, has been settled on the
basis that those who fought to preserve.
rather than those who fought to destroy
the Republic, should rule iE, These gIIu
other questions the people, at this spec
ial election, have decided, and have de-
cided right. aar4
But we had intended to speak Of the
principle causes to which we owe this
cheering result. First of all, the Repub-
heaHs of the District generally, sinking
all local claims and personal interests
endeayored to. select as their candidate
their best and most popular man. In
choosing General Beatty they were IN
duenced by the highest and WOrthiest
motives that govern men. And then
there was most cOmmendable acqui-
esCenee in the nomination on the part
of all the gentlemen whose names had
been mentioned for the honor, and
none labored more ZealousIy in the
cause than Gen. Beatty's most formida-
ble competitors in the convention. Sue
cess is due also to the fact that every
county, town and township of the Dis
tEict was thoroughly and systematical-
" organized. And so admirable was
of the District some days prior to the
election made Beatty's majority eight
hundred, which is but little modified by
the official result. In short, the Repub-
leans felt that the eyes of the
Union were upon them, for they were
opening the great campaign of 1858.
They fought as true soldiers who real
lied the i'm portance of routing the enc
my in the first Onslaught.-CO Journal

T But alas for Democratic arguments as
Weu as hopes. The circumstances
which have Besa cited By the Eighth
District Democracy as entirely disquaI-
flying General Beatty for public trust

day, the Republican voters acquitted
themselves handsomely. The Democ-
racy,- encouraged by their successes last

carry the day, and entered the canvass
with the discrimination to elect Col.
Burns to the vacant seat of the lanaent-

Republicans at first feared the enemy
might be able to succeed, but as the
canvass progressed, and the earnestness
Of the people manifested itself it be-

Union would triumph. But the hand

Gen, Beatty has astonished our friends

could not be turned in tiHae to prevent
the election Of their candidate for Pres

IN his report on the United States
revenue Commissioner Wells makes
the following gratifying statements
which ought to confound the dema-
gogues who shrek for Reputation and
assert that the Republican party has
extravagantly administered the Gov
ernment io
"The United States is the only one
of the leading natic1s of the world
which Is at present materially dimin-
ishing its debt and reducing its taxes /;
aud the only one moreover, which Of
fers any substantial evidence of its
ability TO pay its debt within any def
mite period, or even anticipates the
probability of any such occurrence. "
In proof of these statements Mr..
Wells adduees statistics showing that
'The United States, from the 31st of
August, 1865, to the 31st Of October,
1867, substantially reduced its liabih-
ties by the sum of over two hundred
and sixty-siz millions Of dollars, or at
an average rate of over ten millions
per month for the whole included
period and that during the year end
ing June 30, 1867, tQDatio1 1oas re-

sTHE INCOME Tax The New York
Post thinks Congress would do well to
see if the internal revenue cannot be
raised without tax on incomes, as
the Massachusetts, Manufacturers
Convention proposes. The editor says:
AS at present laid this tax is clearly
unjust, for it ezacts the same percent
age from the incomes of realized prop
erty and from incomes obtained by
daily labor. Moreover, it is odiOus
because Beoessarily inquisitoriai, be-
cause it forces every man to lay bare to
the public annually statement of his
affairs, and it is oppressive to the great
majority, who 1--we more or less from
hand to mouth, because it may be eX-
acted in time of sudden depression up
on incomes made at another season.
These views are practical and just,
and We see that other leading Republi-
can Journals accord with them. The
New York Times calls attention also
10 the distinction beEweSHinComes from
property and that from labor and en-
tsrpTise, and thinks the Way and MeaDs
Committee ought at least to report in
favor of a reduction of the onerous in
come tax.

The Eighth District Republican
Victory.


The special election in the Eighth Con-
gressionaI District, yesterday, resulted
in a very decided and gratifying Repub-
Hcau victory. The vote for Governor
IN October was close, the Repu blican
majority in the counties composing the
District being. Oaly, ,247. Yesterday there
WIS a Republican gain on the October
vote in every county, and General Beat
tys was elected by a majority of 1000.
The Democrats attached great impor-
tance to this contest, and confidently y
expected to elect their candidate, Mr..
Burns. The Republicans also regarded
it as q very important election. Both
parties, therefore, worked hard, and
were led bV representative men.
This election shows that the reaction
against the DemOcra has already set
in Ohio. As it was in 1852, so tits in 1853.
The Democrats carried Ohio that year,
by false pretenses. The election over,
the clOven foot was exhibited, and in
1858 John Brough was elected Governor
by over 100000 majority Already in
1868 the Democrats, encouraged by the
fall the elections, have indicated what
they would do it restored fully to pow
er, and already have the people taken
the alarm, and are prepared to give the
party that sustained the rebellion, and
would now restore rebels to power, a
back seat once more. This special cleo
tion is, therefore, one of great signifi-
cance. Tt fairly foreshadows the vote
of November, and insures a sweeping
majority for the Republican candidate
for the Presidency.
1t will have a good effect, too, in
fastening reconstruction, by cOnvin-
cling the disloyal people of the South,
that the Democratic party of the North
will not be able to carry them into pow
er while it VIII encourage the loyal
people Of the suspended States to pre-
serve in the work of reconstruction. In
another respect the election will do
good. Tt viii serve as an intimation to
the President that his policy is not pop
uIar in Ohio.
The loyal people of the nation have
been placed under obligations TO the
Republicans of the Eighth District, who
so vigorously fought and so gIoriously
won this short, but decisive battle for
pTinciples.- Cincinnati Gdzette

ANOTHER REAcTIoN.-The special
election in the Eighth District resulted
in the triumph of General Beatty, the
Republican candidate, BY q handsome
majority, gaining some hundreds on the
majority Of Hayes. The canvass of the
district on both sides has been vigorous.
The speeches Of the candidates have
been fully reported in this paper, and
our readers understand the issues pre-
sented and discussed, and upon which
a popular verdict has been had. If Con-
gress will give the Repn pnblieans half a
chance, the reactiOnary tendencies Of
the last year VIII not 60 further. In this
transition period the people Of the
Eight District have voted that they
would rather trust Republican than a
Democrat. General Beatty is in every
way worthy of his success.-Ci7l. Com

Taxation of National Banks-G. II.
Pendleton as "BlOatod Bond
hnlder.n

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes,
with the following preliminary re-
marks, list Of the shareholders of Ma
tional Banks In that city who have not
paid their taxes;
The Republican Legislature Of Ohio,
at its last session, passed a law taxing
National and State Banks alike on their
capital and surplus earnings. The
shareholders in State Banks have paid
their taxes under this law but the Ma
tiOnal Bank stockholders, to a large ex-
tent, refuse to pay because they are
taxed differently from private bankers.
Last year they contested the law be-
cause they were taxed differently from
State Banks. They seem to want a law
that won't tax them at all. The most
curious feature in this exhibit is the
display Of the names Of large num-
ber of Sound" Democrats, including
the t'greenbaclz1 candidate for the Pres
idency, Mr. Geo ii. Pendleton. Il
