what father and mother and Mary aud
Henry and Edgar would think of all
this. IT they could only understand it,
they would not blame me, for Philip
placed tie subject before me in the

Tom opened the duor seftly and bent

NEW YORK.

NEW York, November l0.-The Times
says that Com missioner Delsno has re-
solved that the income returns Of last
year shall have thorough overhauling,
aud to this end officers have been de-
tailed to do special duty. and are now at
work in the leading cities of the country.
Their advent in this city is creating
quito sensation among those who have
learned to live in brown stone houses
and keep handsome equippsges without
possessing sny income. We trust the
investigations will be thorough and ex-
haustive. The merchant or banker who
deliberately defrauds the Government on
his income return is no better than one
who defrauds it on whisky or tobacco
When il comes to be understood that
every doubtful return is to be investi-
gated, and that the inquiry will not
necessarily end with the fling of the re-
turn in the Assessors Office, the re-
eeipts OF the Government from this
sourcewill be largely increased. We have
no doubt next year will see an increase
Of revenue from incomes Of no less than
ten millions Of dollars.

fields have brought forth abundant erops;
our barns are full; our live stock sleek
and highly pampered; and our cotton
crou is large and the price high. Nearly
every vantry is richly stored with pro-
visions for the winter; money matters
are easy; the r;eb are rolling in luxury
the poor are comfortable and contented'
and all might sing psalms OF Joy, so uni'
versal is our prosperity.
But beyond all these blessings we have
some special reasons for being thankful.
A great political revolution has been
wrought, through gracious deliverance
most unexpected; some strange infu-
ence has put it into the heart OF B'own-
low TO change bis ways and advocate
some of the rights of the down-trodden
white race; .disseusions were created IN
the ranks of our Radical enemies, and
their hosts, after exhausdug their
strepqth. were scattered. Good men
have been sent to fill our legislative
halls; some obnoxious laws have been
repealed, and many measures OF poIih-
cal reform and general relief have been
set on foot. Andy johnson, who dssired
20 foment further strife and vex the peo'
ple again, was defeated for the United
States Senate, and has turned his
attention to good dinners. 10 Davidson
and Shelby counties, the Boards OF
County Commissioners have been re-
moved and honest men put in their
places; law and order everywhere pre-
vail. A wisely constructed charter for
the city of Memphis is about 10 be
adopted; and the penitsDtiary is full OF
convicts, showing how active are tha offi
GERS who guard public peace. No epi'
demic has visited the State during the
year; the old gas monopoly in this city
is about to be reduced; the necessities OF
life are abundant and cheap, and the
luxuries are within the reach Of all
classes. Several scslswsg newspapers
have died for want of support and read
ers since the withdrawal of State cup
port; there is some prospect OF reduced
taxes, and the establishment of good
school system; and many greedy adven-
turers from other parts. who made
a convenience of loyalty and took
advantage Of our misfortunes, have
packed their paper collars in their
seedy carpet-bags and as quietly glided
away as owls from hen-roost on the APP
proach of day. They have gone glim-
mering and shivering and gnashing their
teeth, and very few of them will ever
send back their postoffice address.
These are some of the extraordinary
reasons why we should be thankful to
that merciful Providence who has vouch-
safed us SO many general and specific
blessings. Then let US slsy the fstted
calf, and bring down from the highest
limb the Wanting turkey gobbler, who
has been holding Thanksgiving himself
the last eight years because be was not
called for at such an occasion.
