Taxes by Implication.

Every able jurist has held that laws
which take private property for the public
benefit should be rigidly constr ued, and in
all cases of doubt the leaning should be
toward the side of the property owner
When the internal revenue system was first
established heavy tax was laid on the
publication of advertisements. Every
newspaper proprietor paid it, as tar as we
know, without grumbling. q i-9 -
z, Subsequently, Congress made great
flourish in debate about "a free press" and
took off the tax on advertisements. Last
year changeof phraseology was made in
the tax on manufactures, intended to re-
Iieve manufacturing establishments from
the heaviest portion oftheir tax. Mr.. Roll
L1Ns, Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
seizes on this as a pretext for applying the
law to newspapers. So far as publishers
make Gales of papers already produced,
this application of. the act may be legal,
although it was never designed. Mr.. Roll
L1Ns goes further, and insists that
every subscription received by a
newsnsper. in advance is q manufacturers
sale, There can be no legal sale of an ar
ticle the like of which is not in existence.
A subscription to copies of a newspaper,
materials for which lie all unwrought in
the brain of the editor, is in the nature OF
a contract for work and labor to be per-
formed, and is not in any proper sense q
sale, any more than the carpenters con-
tract tomake a row of houses of given
pattern is a manufacturers sale of tene-
If Congress wishes to reimpose the tax
on newspapers, let it do SO fairly and
sauarely, Ours is the largest circulation
in Central. Ohio, but we will not object
to levy by the square inch, if that. is

y The "Miss LUCY STONE, of former years,
but now Mrs. Lucy STONE BLAcKwELL,
made a, 7woman's5 voting speech in, the
House of Representatives, yesterday,
which, unlike most speeches in that body,
was listened to with marked attention. Z.
Mrs. LpeY took as, the foundation of her
argumt mt that the powers of the Govern
ment of this country are inherent in the
people-that women are as much people as
the men. They, are taxed, and are not al
lowed to aid in the selection OF their law
makers, and hence, as they are taxed, it is
tax without, representation. Women have
an inherent right to yote, and if they are
deprived of that right, they, are placed on
the same footing, and in the same category,
with children, criminals, lunatios sand
IDIOTS. all of which Mrs. Lucy Thought
highly wrong. 4z.s9s1 s Z
The speaking power of woman Is highly
developed in Mrs. Lucy. A better talker
is hard to find. She is not an orator, in the
strict sense of the term, but simply a fine

In stature. Mrs, Lucy is below the middle
size--is of that uncertain age which might
pass for thirty, and might be taken for
many years older--and is rather squarely
built for beauty, thing by-the-by, to
which she makes no pretence. She was
plainly dressed in black alpaca, with neat
worked collar around her notalbaster, nor
yet swan like neck, and had it not been for
rent in that portion of the dress which
was intended to cover the left elbow,
Mrs. LUCY would have looked neat
and intresting. While speaking we
thought that her woman's mission ought to
have been using needle to mend the rent
which envious time lad made. Its appear
ance detracted much from the force of her
argument. But in her high mission she
thought not of dress, and might well ex-
claim, "Let 'er rip, and it did rip" much
to the disadvantage of her good looks.

A LOYAL Sheet ON Negro Suffrage

A Loyal Sheet ON Negro Suffrage.
The Cincinnati Chronicle, albeit Re-
publican sheet, SO far differs from the party
leaders, as to think that the platform on
which Gen. GRANT was nomin ed, ought
to have binding effect upon the leaders
in Congress and out of it. 1t calls upon
e those Republicans who are strenuously
urging an amendment of the Constitution
to deprive the States of control over the
suffrage question, to refresh their. memory
by reading the following plank from the
platform on which the late Presidential
election was carried: is-91 'ii7 t''y 'iH
"The guarantee by Congress of equal
suffrage to all loyal men at the South was
demanded by every consideration, of pub
lie safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and
must be maintained; while, the question Of
suffrage in an the loyal States property Pelong-
to the people of those States" ..i,,i, &.
In Ohio, as the Chronicle found to its
sorrow, the people to whom property be-
longs' in the "question of suffrage" decided
against negro voting by over fifty thous-
and majority. AS in Ohio, soft has been
in every Northern State where, unmixed
with Presidential contest, the people had
a chance to decide the question. The plank
in the Chicago Platform which the Chroni-
Gle quotes, denounced the issue of negro
suffrage being again made in Ohio. for if
made, none can doubt that the result will
be similar to that tof two years since, ~
Itis not because the Chronicle. opposes
negro suffrage that 1t gives forthits warm
ing note, but because Of the unpopularity
of the measure in Ohio. Favoring negro
voting, almost to the. exclusion of voting
by the whites in the States of the South,
that sheet would force it upon the people
South OF Mason and Dixon's line, where it
is notorious that the black race are less fit.
for its exercise than in the North, while
the "loyal States" are acknowledged to be
equal to the task of doing their own yot-
ing. 2j2I te {iTrE 3 "a II d
At the election in 1857, the ssmanhoods''
were promised free suffrage in Ohio. The
Radical party placed itself on that plat!
form, and the poor darkies contri-
buted their money to aid in carrying
the State for, the Republican party. The
darkies were badly sold blythe Central
Committee of that party, and by the other
party leaders. In their anxiety, to save
themselves from entire defeat, negro suf-
,frage was thrown overload, as the JONAH
who was sinking the concern. And now,
the editor of the Chronicle, one of the few
who remained true to the negro allies,
accepts the situation and is willing to let
the darky and his right to vote in the
Northern States be among the things not to
be touched hereafter, 81 Il fi--jf " =

and proclaimed himself Dictator, on account
Of an alleged attempt TO assassinate him. We
are not told what Melgaredos did to invite a
visit from the assassin, but his conduct since
in setting aside the Constitution and assum-
ing the Dictatorship, shows that the assassin
was not mistaken in the character of the man,
though he was probably as to the proper way
to rid the country Of him. Violent measures
assassinations, revolutions, military execu-
tions, overthrow Of constitutions AID usurpa-
ton Of power are the characteristics Of mon
grel peoples. There can be no real progress
under such governments, since there can be
no security for persons or property. And
yet the Fifteenth Amendment is in full force
in all the mongrel Republics Of South Amer
