EgThe 1Asl,cdukee Sentinel has

British government has just now en-
tirely declined to exercise further
clemeney in the ease of Robert
Lynch" of Milwaukee, sentenced to
death, afterwards to Imprisonment
tor life, for alleged participation in

State Aid to Railroads.

A correspondent of the STATE Jour
nal furnishes the following reply to
the figure work of Wisconsin,, whose
article appeared in the Herald last
week
"Wisconsin" makes a ponderous
array of figures, which we are no,
prepared to dispute, but we do deny
the legitimacy of his argument con
nected with the resources to be de-
rived from the roads built in pursu
ance Of the plan which he faVors.-
He proposes TO set aside the 3 per
cent. tax upon the gross earnings TO
pay The interest upon the bonds, and
to create sinking fund to Ultimate
" cxtinguish the debt; but he does
not intimate that the amount OF tax
which would thus be diverted from
the general fund account, would have
to be supplied by ogeneral tax upon
the people. He would, in effect make
the $4,000 per mile paid by the state
not a donation according TO the ten-
OF OI lnG IcSOlullOu III QdScItObi w !
loan to be repaid. Again, the rail
roads of the state as the most favor>
ed in the matter of public taxation
Of all The industrial interests upon
which taxes are imposed. The aver
age rate Of taxation throughout the
state cannot be less than 3 per cent.
upon so per cent valuation OF the
property, but the thee per cent. OF
the gross earnings Of the railroads is
equivalent on an average to only
about one half of one per cent. upon
their capital, and much less than that
upon their actual cost. Were the
Milwaukee and Prairie du Chen road
subjected to the common rule of tax
alton, it would have been obliged &c
pay for the taxes Of 1867 about $3.50,
600, whereas, it only paid, as pen
Secretary of States Report, about
100000. The Chicago and North
western road shows much greater
disparity. We discover, then, that
the peculiar consideration urged by
leWiscons in referred to, admits o
some qualification.

The UPPER THOUSANDS The nick.
name OF F" Upper Ten Thousand ;"
seems to involve numerical mistake.
1t appears from some tables just pre-.
scented TO the Statistical Society by
Mr.. D. Baxter, tables based pom in.
come tax returns, that 1854 persons
posses e112, 100000 a year, being
one.seventh Of the whole national in
come as returned, perhaps one-ffth
of the whole real income-much in
come being returned twice, as that of
the State employes-and one-fourth
of all the income derived from props
erty. The entire income of the ST.
$50, 900 families which pay less than
$500 a year is not equal to that of
these upper 1000. There are, more-
over, only II, 564 households in Eng
land returning more than $1,000 a
year.
twill be remembered also that only
$4,000 persons possess in Great Brit
ain more than ten acres q piece
The deduction from all these facts is.
that there are but 1000 families in
England deserving to be called rich,
that is, witt more than G5, 900 a year,
and less than $4,000 who are COM
