Apart from the devotion of the recent meeting
of tax reformers to free trade, fact not re-
markabe since none but free traders were IN
vited, the meeting proposed but one policy
relative to taxation. 1t condemned the prOpo-
sition that taxation should DO rated accord
"ing TO the ability of the taxpayer to bear
"itr and urged the reduction of the number
of articles to be taxed after the manner OF
England, which, it was enormously stated, had
reduced the articles subject to tax from 1900 to
IS. These two propositions will be found to be
practically one, for a taxation which rests on ten
or fifteen articles will be found in practice to
rest almost wholly on the poor. In England,
where but OBe-seventh of the people govern,
such policies of simplifying taxation by collect
ing the whole revenue of the Government from
articles of which poor man or family uses the
same quantity rs rich man or family can be
maintained. Here they cannot. Such are the
taxes on articles of food, drink, and wearing APP
parel. We can stand some taxes which are
like poll-tax, the poor paying as much indi-
vidually and thousand times as much collec-
lively as the rich But we must have some
taxes which rest upon wealth and income,
and are paid according to ability.

While England is passing through one OF the
most momentous crises in her history, and the
Tory Ministers may any day deem it neces-
sary TO tender their resignation, the Queen, as
though she were altogether unconcerned in the
transformation of the country, is on sudden
going to Balmoral. 1t is natural that the En-
glish press is shocked by this indifference to
important State affairs. Victoria is admired as
woman, a wife, and mother, but as a
Queen she does not strengthen the attachment
of the English people to her dynasty, and to
mOnarclism in general.

For The AmeTIcan CII
NO HARM IN KISSING.

When the ocean wave in fury doth roar,
With anger both naughty and wild,
kiss it imprints on the rock bound shore,
And soothes it to rest like child.
The gIstening snow, in feathery tiakes,
Makes love to the hard-frozen ground
If its kiss of love no passion awakes,
In its own sad tears it is drown'd.
At the early gray dawn, the bright sunbeam'
Their kisses bestow upon earth;
And thro' tears of dew how softly there CLEANS
The sparkIes of JOY and of mirth,
Howcould the green leaves on the forest trees
Through summers hot season exist,
Were the spreading boushs, by the passing breeze
Not kindly and lovingly kissed =?
The lily of snow, so spoless and pure,
Would sadly the summer winds miss;
1t offers its soft, white petals to lure
The zephyrs to stay with kiss.
Wise nature ordained, by the laws she gave,
That none be deprived of this bliss;
Why refuse me, then, the boon that crave
Why will you deny me kiss I

THE CASE OF HEWITT AND NICKNAME

We invite the attention of our read
erS to an article on the first page of
our paper, says the Nicksburg Times,
III which the outrage recently com
mittel on Messrs. Hewitt and Nell
waine, by a set of boobies collected
into gathering known as a military
commission, is considered from a
legal standpoint. The article is
from the pen Of legal gentleman,
who is familiar alike with the facts
and the law, and his points are made
clear and conclusive. For a simple
misdemeanor, a mere assault, lot
of ignorant shoulder strapped donk
eys, have visited upon two young
gentlemen the Infamous punishment
accorded to felony. The outrage
is infamous and will disgrace all who
have had any part in the matter, and
it shall be no fault of ours, if the
parties to this fiendish and malig-
nant wrong are not held up to the
scOrn, the lOathing, and the abhor-
ence Of every honorable man in all
this broad land.
We are in possession of some facts
in regard to the falSehood, coward.
ice and villainy of this so,called mil
itary commission, which would dis
hOIOT the viIest male factor that was
ever sent to Botany Bay. 1t was
determined beforehand to convict
Hewitt and McIIwaine, and with such
cowardly scoundrel as Dudley to
furnish evidence, and such court to
try the prisoners, the task was easy !
Hewitt and McIIwane have been sent
to the Penitentiary, hut that lnstitu
ton was never yet polluted with the
presence of such degraded criminals
and maletactOrs as are those who
sent them there. We shall take up
this case at our leisure, and if we do
not prove that the gang of military
telOns who committed this outrage
on Hewitt and McIlwaine are the
men who deserve to occupy fe!on'S
cells, and wear the garb of telons,
we will promise never to write an,
other line.

WHY THEY OPPOSE BUTLER.

1t is mistake to suppose, says
the Vicksburg Times, that the oppo
sition to Ben Butler, as Represent.
alive in Cong ress from Massachu
sets; grows out of his viIlainous pc.
litcal opinions entirely. The moral
obliquity OF the man, or rather, the
absence of moral principle in the
composition of his character, con
stitutes the serious objection with
men who have any regard for hon.
esty or decency.
The honorable Mr.. Abbott, who
presided over the Convention that
nominated Mr.. Dana, in opposition
to the great spoon thief, administer
ed scathing hagellation to Butler,
and to give force to some of the OBJ
.iections against him, Mr.. Abbott re-
duced them to writing, and read
them for greater emphasis, as fol
lows:
Because he is self-willed, arrogant,
head strong, domineering, Of violent
temper and bitter hatred, intracta-
bic, implacable, unconciliatory. His
great governing passion seems to be
either to rule or ruin-a friend if
you submit, an enemy if you resist.
He is persisting, unyielding, bold,
bent upon his own way at all haz-
ards. Artful and adroit, i'll private
