An Inquiry.


The Portsmouth (New Hampshlre)
States and Union makes the following
admirable query, which we would like
to see some friend Of General Grant
answer. 1t says:
"But in spite of all their frauds ard
rascalities they have lost ground.
They put General Grant into the con-
test to help them out, but their ma
jority has gone down 600 votes and
they have lost twenty-five members OF
the Legislature. They will have
about fifty majority in the House, a.
gAinsJ seventy-five last iyenr. How
much did this Grant hurrah help
them2 The Democracy have increas-
ed their vote over 1000 IN this State"
We hopo the trouble it may put
them to will not prevent the "Grant
men,, from cypherinS out favorable

The Enormous Weight Of Taxa
tIOn.

A sensible country correspondent Of
the Chicago Times thus alludes TO the
enormous taxation which is now
weighing tho people TO the earth. 10
says:
The tax gatherera are now passing
around, astonishing the people with
the enormous amounts they are de-
manded to pay. 1t Is not uncommon
for ordinary farmers in Illinois 10 have
10 pay from 800 TO $500 tax. Now, if
financial affairs should produce such u
change as TO bring produce down to old
prices, say corn to 10c. por bushel,
wheat 40c. and pork 81 so per hund-
red, our farmers could not possibly
pay their taxes, and have a support
left for their families, especially at the
present high prices they have to pay
for clothing and every thing they have
to buy. In that event, our Leoplo
would be driven to bankruptcy and
ruin, A failure in crops in the West
for one year, as matters now stand.
would produce the same effect and,
, in either event, inevitable ruin must
be the result.
The only chance for security against
such danger exists, first, in retrench-
ment of public expenditures and sec
ondly, in establishing a sound fnan.
clal policy, that will equRlize the
amount of currency in the country
with the amount of business necessary
TO De carried on.

for the Sena.e. After Spinner was APP

on the avenue one fine afternoon and

Mrs. Wade asked him how they were

piled that he was not in Congress any

A slight criticism upon Butler.

Tho New York Times (Republican,)
in ITS notice of General Buffers I'm.
peachment effort before the Senate,
thus throws in an alloy of criticism. 1t
says:
He frequently weakens the force Of
his statement by unnecessary violence
of language; he occasionally descends
TO sophiStrles that are disgraceful to
his reason; he attempts to bolster up
slim points that had better have been
passOd over; he is guilty of perver-
sions that are more ingenious than
honorable; he makes appeals that
might be very effective in stump
speech, but are grossly offensive in a
legal argument addressed to such q
body as the Senate: and he indulges
IN vituperation that il entirely mis-
placed at the opening Of such trial.

The High Farce of Impench-
ment.

Macaulay, in his essay on tho life of
Warren Hastings, says Of ,mpeach-
ment in general:
In truth, 1t IS impossible TO deny
that impeachment, though it is fine
ceremony, and though 1t may have
been useful in the 18th century, Is not
n proceeding from which much good
can be expected. Whatever conf
dence may be placed in the decision Of
tho Peers on On appeal arising out of
ordinary litigation, it is certain that no
man has the least confidence IN their
impartiality, when great public func.
tionary, charged with great crime, is
brought to their bar. They arc all
politicians. There is hardly one
among them whose vote ON an inns
parchment may not be confidently pre-.
dl1ted before a witness has been exam
Ined.
