POSTPONED TILL 1870.

The profound and brilliant fnanciers of
the radical persuasion in Congress, who
expect to make Gen. Grant President, are
evidently determined to put off to a more
convenient season the task of introducing
economy to which they are pledged by the
platform on which their Presidential candi-
date is running. 1t is admitted on all hands
to be indispensable to this work that the
whole system, or rather chaos, of revenue
laws should be revised. The general charac-
ter and effect Of these laws are thus mildly
depicted by Republican paper, the New
York Post:
They form a medley-not system. They con
sist Of long series Of acts, by successive national
legislatures, each repeating portions Of those
which preceded il, aud each eoBfounding and
ptrpiexiDg the meaning Of all the rest. And the
administration is worthy Of the laws. II has no
responsible head. Its chief Offcers-the secre-
taIy of the treasury and the commissioner-seem
TO spend most Of their time in writing letters for
tie newspapers. each TO throw the blame of the
iDt fhcieDt aud corrupt service under them upon
The other, or upon the president and Senate.
They seem 10 agree in nothing except that they
are themselves The innocent captains of q gre Al
gang Of thieves, who are pl1ndering the people
without mercy. and that not one half of the taxes
imposed by law ever find their way into the
treasury.
And we have the testimony of the same
journal that the effect of the vote by which
the Republican majority declined to act on,
or to call for, any bill from the ways and
means committee intended to cover the whole
tax system, is to postpone revision of the tax
laws and reform of the revenue service to
time not earlier, and possibly later, than the
spring of 1870. For two years, then, these
financial reformers, represented in the presi-
dental canvass by that enthusiastic but
recondite economist, Ulysses S. Grant, are to
give full swing to a system which combines
confusion and corruption, criminality and i'm
punity, fraud upon honest taxpayers and
plunder of the government By such post
ponement, these reformers confess that
they cannot dispense with this public
sin tor the present; that they must let the dis
ease exhaust itself or the country before they
apply a remedy. What then is the. value of
the pledge of economy in the Grant platform?
Why do not the Congressional supporters of
this platform commence at once the perform
ance of the pledge? There is but one answer
The pledge is insincere, and can no more be
depended on than that of an incorrigible
drunkard. Even degree of reform by pro-
figate party on the eve of an election, gives as
little assurance of permanent improvement as
the amended life of bad man and hot lover
before marriage. The real character of a
party is to be known from the tenor of its acts
unaffected by the exigencies of an election, as
the real character of lover by the general
course of his life previous to marriage.

Paper from Wood.

Many kinds of vegetable materials
have been successfully used in making
paper. and of late forest trees have been
converted into this useful material. At
first the bark of the Eastwood was tax
en-, but now the trunk of the poplar is
used. Second growth trees are the best /;
they are sawed into blocks about foot
long, then split into halves and all the
bark and knots removed, then put into
bath of pure water and allowed to re-
main here until thoroughly soaked.
The machine to reduce the wood into
pulp is nothing more than commo n
grindstone we'll elevated in the room.
The blocks are placed upon the stone
cross wise and a good supply of water
kept on. A very swift motion of the
stone wears awsy the wood quite rapid
", which mingles with the wa
ter and runs down through several
screens which separate all sltyers and
grit and the pulp is deposited in vat
free from all refuse matter; here the
water is drained off and the paper ma
teriaI left in cake. The pulp is then
put into cloth and placed in press tc
remove all the water, after which 1t Is
ready for shipment or for use.
Poplar wood is by nature so pure anc
white that no chemicals or bleaches are
required to make fit material for man
ufacturing printing paper. Three part
of the wood pulp is usually mixed will
one part rags, to give the paper
strength and snloothness.
