The Income T0T-Biltnd DER
INN


A dispatch from Washington in
Inmates that the attention of the
Government is called to the present
system of collecting income tax from
Government employees, both in tho
civil and military service, by which
the latter have undoubtedly paid
into the Treasury at least twenty
millions Of dollars, since the passage
Of the income tax act, more than
they are requird to do by the reve-
nue. laws. II is explained that the
blundcr is occasioned by deducting
the income tax from army and ma
Wy officers and civil employees at
the time Of the payment Of thoir
monthly salaries, without giving
them the opportunities which other
income taxpayers have Of making
deduction for house rent, losses in
business, dc. 1t is further claimed
that the system is wrong, because
it has frequently happened this
year, government employees dis.
charged before completing a years
work, and before receiving tho
thousand dollars exempted by law,
are unable to obtain employment
for the remainder of the year
They have nevertheless paid pro
rata monthly, when in fact they
are not, under the law, required to
pay any tax Whatever. 1t is also
claimed that monthly collections Of
taxes are not authorized by law,
which provides for regular assess
mcnts by duly appointed assessors.

DEATH OF GEORGE PEABODY.

A man untitled, but gIorious-a sim
pie citizen, but with beautiful fame
throughout Christendom, and honors
beyond those of Princes, George Pea
body, died last night near midnight, at
his London residence. His health has
been rapidly failing during the last
year and when, after his trip to this
country, to try whether the air of his
native land would not restore his
strength, he grew worse and was con-
fined to his house, the most serious ap-
prehensions were entertained. We
heard the other day that the Queen of
England had inquired by telegraph as
to his health, expressing the tenderest
anxiety for his welfare. The outlines
of his history are familiar to every
schooIboy. He was born in Danvers,
Massachusetts,, and became in his ma
ture years a banker in London. His
sagacity and integrity in business gave
him great wealth. A bachelor, he de-
voted his fortune to benevolent OBJ
iects, and secured, more than any 9TH
er man of this generation, the uniYer-
sal esteem of mankind. 1t was the
felicity of his career to bestow his
wealth in his own time and way in the
benevolent and educational enter
prises that mis- judgment most COM
mended. His gifts have been of as
tonishing magnitude. Long ago he
was remarkable for them. Each year
he has added to them hundreds OF
thousands, and sometimes millions.
His prosperity has been as wonderful
as hfs benevolence. His age exceeded
the allotted span of three-score and
| ten. His example will be of inestim,
able value in impressing those who
| contemplate works of charity to dc
/ them while they can see them well
done. He has enjoyed the celebrity o.
his virtues, and win be remembered
| with affectionate reverence when the
warriors and monarchs of the time are
forgotten, or but lightly esteemed. Nc
words that the Cable has ever flashed
at midnight through the Atlantic have
touched as many hearts with sorrow
and at the same time called up as many
kindly and grateful recollections o
generous deeds as these; George Pea
| body is dead Cincinnati Commercial O
tte 5th tgsst.
