Shnll the Income Tax be Abolished. .

From the tone Of the discussion by the press
on the subject of the income tax, we infer tha:
Congress is not likely to repeal that impost
entirelv aud. therefore, it becomes us to rem
der it less odious and oppressive. Our own
suggestions. of raising the exemption TO 81
GOO, and reducing the tax to three per cent.
instead of five, meet with the favor of all
thoughtful minds, having any regard to the
equaligng of the onerCus burdens Of taxa
tion. 1t is idle for us to 60 demanding the
absolute repeal of this tax. We have oil been
inveghing against it for the last four years,
without the least effect. Every successive
head Of the Treasury has obstiaately clung to
it, because it was really one Of the largest and
most reliable sources Of revenue, and could
not be abolished without either leaving n de-
fict or causing the substitution Of other taxes
for it.
1t is believed that the effect of reducing the
five per cent. income tax to three per cent,
will be the same rs the reduction of the two
dollar tax on whisky; that is, to cause the
payment on large amounts of taxable values
that have escaped because Of tho popular be-
lief in theiniustce of the impost; and we have
ourselves no doubt that this is true. The ef-
feet in the case of whisky is indisputable.
The revenue is far better collected under the
! Fifty cent tax thuu it ever was under the two
dollar tax. Il is suggeated that. with the ex-
empton raised to s.. 900. and the tax reduced
to three per cent, the popular sentiment, now
so strongly arrayed against the tax, would
become modified, and that the yield would be
nearly as great as before in consequence of
the false returns and evasions becoming few
er. We believe that the product of tie in
come tax could easily have been kept up to
the highest standard had the ir,post been
steadily lightened every year, so as to make
a proper concession to the public sentiment,
and to encourage it to maintain pressure
| against all evasions.
| In the case of the whisky tax every imagin-
able device to secure its enforcement was re-
sorted to in vain. AT each successive session
of Congress new and more stringent safe
guards were adonted ard each year turned
out failure. The tax was too great to he
collected, and only q very small part of the
whisky ever paid the tax. During the last
year of the two-dollar tax The Department on
ly succeeded in collecting the revenue from six
or seven millions Of gallons, while under the
fifty cent tax the revenue comes in mt the
rate of eighty million gallons of taxable whisky
per annum. The evasons Of the income tax
have become fully as notorious. and indeed.
the opportunity fer evasion is so great that.
the loss of revenue from this source must be-
qnte equal to that bv the non-collection oe'
the whisky tax. s. Gazette.

SORcsIS-

The shades Of night were falling ast,
As through an eastern city passed.
A blooming maid in hioomers dressed,
With this device NJ n her crest,
SoIosis
Tier hrows were knit beneath her veil
Her eyes blaEed like comets tail,
And like martial bugle rang
The tones OF that outlanGish tongue,
Sorosis
In happy homes she saw the light.
Where hope and love made all things bright
Without the night was dresr ami bleak,
And from her lips escaped the shriek-
Sorosis
''Try rot the polls maid beware
The scheming politicians snare"
Twas all In vain the obi man cried,
For still that ringing voice replied,
Sorosis

Thy water .ali upon m. vest. :"
A IL; r stole down her painted cheek.
But still she answered with y squeak,

"Beware the balefdl company
OF Francis Traiu and Susan B!'
This was old Greeiey's warming knell,
voice replied. you SO to-wel,

At break Of dav. as through the street,
The wstchman walked his lonely beat,
With heavy ewes and sleepy yawn.
A voice cried through the purple dawn,

Next evening. on rostrum high,
The maiden stood with blazing eye,
While from her lips serene but pale,
A voice ealie. like northeast gale,

Fisher wrote to Mr.. Dalzell year ago
that his divorce would surely be obtain ed
within thirty days. Mr.. D. then despatched
a message to his present wife to join him in
San Francisco without delay. and they would
on her arrival he married. She went to San
Francisco. hut Mr.. Fisher failed to secure the
divorce as he had promised. The young wo-
man remained in San Francisco until Janu-
airy. Then she returned. Mr.. Fisher again
sent word that the divorce was soon to be
granted. and importuned Mr.. Dalzell to come
to New York and get married Mr.. y. came.
the wedding day was appointed. frousseau
was arranged. and other heavy expenditures
were incurred but again the divorce was
wanting. Pressing business arrans sements
called Mr.. Dalzell back to San Francisco.
The relatives and friends of the present Mrs.
Dalzell were disappointed. and thought Mr.

for his abrupt return to the Golden CITY. thew

THE DIVORCE,
Petitioned for by Augustus s. Dalzell. an Eng
lishman, if not of rank, of ftrmer great
wealth, and closely allied to an English coro-
net, was granted by the Supreme Court of
Brooklyn last April. by the decision of S. Y.
Lowell, whom the Supreme Court appointed
referee. The application was made in the
Superior Court of New York nearly three
years ago. Mr. Dalzell sued for it on the
ground of incompatibility of temper and de-
sertion, his wife, Emma Dalzell, having be-
come confirmed opium eater, and having
band here four years, during which time they
lived in the same house, vet as strangers to
each other Mrs Emma Dalzell was young
English widow with a daughter when Mr..
Dalzell married her, Her people ere of the

tremely attractive young American widow,
having a young daughter as the fruit of her
first marriage. Mr.. Dalzel enjoyed the pos
session of large fortune, the bulk of which
he had accumulated in British Guinea as a
planter. Mr.. D. s excuse for forming this at
tachment was the utter incompatibility of
temper between his wife, Emma nalzell. and
himself; and after having the promise of Mrs.
Minrie Dalzell. his present wife, that she
would marry him. providing he obtained an
honorable divorce from Mrs Emma Dalzell.
he Instituted proceedings to that end. Mean
time his business dropped off, and after Sc
we're losses he gathered the debris Of his for
tune, went to California and embarked in
the grain trade with Liverpool, having asso-
ciated himself with a Mr.. King. under the
name of King & Co., house which became

business prosrered under his direction. lie
gave his case into the hands of William J.
Fisher. n lawyer nt 800 Broadway, with
promised fee Of $4,000. PAYABLE whenever the

ward appears that the promise of such

means which have resulted in his arrest and
trial for stealing judgment roll Of the Su-
preme Court.
