year taxation in time of peace, and three
years after the war closed, is burden as un.
necessary as it i, appalling
+. And who is to blame? First, our cxtray.
.Rgant and reckless Congress, which has done
;sllttlo else than legislato to swell the cxpendi

,ment of the finances by the Secretary of the
Treasury. With the enormous means in the
hands Of Mr.. MoCullooh during three years
ofpcaee he might have reduced the debt
several hundred millions below it's present
,ilgufo. Instead of that tho debt has actually
been bee mado heavier by the manipulation of it
lln the interest of spectators and bondholdcrs
Inc non-intercst bearing debtswhich has not
burden, has been paid as far as tho, -Sccrc.
tary was permitted to 60 in such stupid pol
ICY, and the debt bearing gold and the highest
interest has boon enormously increased. The
consequence is that the total interest to be
raised annually is greater than it was when
tho debt was larger. Mr.. McCulloch seems
to have had but one idea, and that is to draw
as much from the people as possible, and to
increase the incnmcs of the bondholdcrs ns
muoil rs possible. lie is not the servant of
the people or government; he is merely the
agent OF the bondhoders and spcculptors.
Will the people endure this state Of things !?
1t is unreasonable to think they. will. Their
eyes are being opened, and they will soon
demand both reduction of tho burden of
the debt and an economical administration of
the government. If this should not be done
we warn the government and the bondhodcrs
to prepare for repudiatiou and general dis.
turbancc such as this country has never known
before. ". T. He,ald, dug. III.

State, county and municipal taxes, the bur.

According to the letter Of Mr. Wells Spec.
ial Commissioner Of Revenue, published in
the Herald July 20, the total receipts Of the
government for the year ending juno 80,

however, one hundred and sixty. y.thTcc million
five huudrcd thousand was in gold from Gus

One Of the grand errors which the people
Of the North have committed since the close

construction policy, and is independent Of any
question Of The constitutional power to deal
with tho Southern Statos os they have been
dealt with 1t has co;sistcd in the assump.
tiou ofa necessity for protecting tho negroes
agains. the whites. The general belief in
zach necessity has led the people OF the
North to acquicscc in measures which they
certainly would otherwise have condemned,
and Of which they arc now begin ing to sec
the mischcvous fruits The error his cx-
tended to Che moara % we'll q, 20 ahc end

But wise or unwiso, constitutional or uncon-
stitutional, the action Of Congrcss towards the
Southern States has been founded on a mon
strous assumption. Tho whole social history
OF the South for period of fifty years pre-
oeeding tho rebellion shows that the relations
between the two raoos had in general been
kindly and harmonious. Thorc were OWLS
enough attendant upon slavery, and it was
certainly blot upon tho cscutchcon of such

thankful for it's removal, and this We bclicve
is the opinion of niucty-nine in every hundred
of tho former maDscrs. But whethor it arose
from the nature Of tho negro, from the fact
chat for so many generations he had been a

Talk Among the People In
 Washington.

The talk is that Wm. E. Robinson, "Richelieu" Robinson, or Sausage" Robinson, of Kings; has hit the nail on the head that Richelieu says Con- gress and the Senate are like the two boys under the tree in a thunderstorm. As the thunder increased and the frightened, Jim said to Jack, Gan you pray ?" "No,' replied Jack. "Well," remarked Jirn, something's got to be done-quick too, tell you.' The talk is that Richelieu don't say whether the Senate is Jim or Jack, and that he don't mean anything parliamentary, and apologies on the spot 10 all the Sena- tors and all the Congrcssmen. The talk is that Cabinet officer called Gen. Grant liar and sneak; that General Grant is drunk half the time, and has been seen steadying himself on anoth- CTS arm in Pennsylvania Avenue that stanton and Washburne have hum bugged him, and that he feels his deg relation, and don't look anybody in the face. The talk is that Stanton holds on to the War office under or ders from Seward and Thurlow Weed !; that the contract jobs of Lord Thurlow with Stanton won't bear daylight The talk is that Senators and others who requested Stanton not to resign have their fingers in the public purse. The talk is that nothing can be got through Congress unless there is cash in it for somebody; that Generals Lo- gan and Hurlburt pnll wires for Wall street. The talk is that Jay Cooke is in favor of killing Gen. Grant and nom mating Chase.
