mandcd his sympathy. The Popes have always been
prompt to exercise clemency, the most precious OF
their sovereign prerogatiyes; but they have acted
from the dictates OF their own hearts, not by the
commendaton or under the influence OF others, aud
his Holiness will never depart from the example of
his predecessors. Nor can he refrain from expostu-
lating with the King Of SARDINIA for lending himself
TO the designs OF the revolution and even prejudic
ing his authority by interceding for rebels,
especially after obtaining SO many concessions from
the Holy see.

While the war lasted, the most Onerous
taxation was borne cheerfully; aud if, to
day, there was an actual necessity for its
continuance, it would be submitted to I'M
grudgingly. But there is neither financial
wisdom nor equity in keeping up war
taxation years after peace has been re-
stored. On the contrary, there is folly
as well as wrong in the attempt to
peIpetuate excessive burdens for the re-
demptionof bonds long in advance of their
maturity, or for the carrying out of any
/ financial theory which the Secretary may
have formed, predicated upon possible
funding in the future, or any similar CON
tingency. 1t may be applied, under pres
| sure, to the extent of the bonds deposited
by the national banks; but otherwise, it
viii be impracticable until after the re-
sumption of specie payments, and that,
as most of uslknow, requires much patient
waiting.
We object, then, to the continuation of
the present taxation during the period
which must elapse before resumption or
funding can be effected. The country
cannot sustain the load, and neither the
public credit nor the exigencies of the
public service require it. The admins
tration prides itself on its measures of re-
trenchment, and Congress processes a de-
sire to promote it. But the prime pur-
pose of retrenchment is relief to the peo-
pie; and the only practical shape which
relief can take is the largest possible re-
duction of taxes. VIII Congress or the
administration assume the responsibility

SOME time since Commissioner Dclano
decided that farmers who sell their pro
duce from the curbstone along the market
or any other place not already occupied,
should be regarded as brokers. Farmers
are exempt from special tax when selling
their produce at the place Of production
or in the manner Of peddlers, but selling
at the market place, even though a differ
ent stand or station is taken every day, is
not selling in the manner Of a peddler
An examination of the law, page 90, sub
division IS, establishes that farmers who
sell their own produce are not produce
brokers. Again, from page g, It appears
that farmers are not peddlers. Page IS
clearly establishes the fact that farmers
are not liable to pay the tax Of produce
broker at all Section 81 says: ''Nor
shall farmers he taxed as manufacturers
or producers for making butter or cheese,
with milk from their own COWS, or fol-
any other farm products. 1t will thus
be seen that Mr.. Dclano has been too has'y
in his efforts to get few dollars out Of
the farmers.

SENATOR RROWNLOW

The Washington correspondent of the
New York World gives us the following
pen portrait of Gov. Brownlow, as he ap-
pears in the United States Senate:
GAS regular as the noon the almost
completely helpless old man is assisted to
his seat-a hair-cloth easy chair on the
left of the Speaker-in which he reclines,
trembling all over, and constantly, like a
shaken jelly. Seen from the gallery, his
swarthy face looks like that of malig-
nant Indian. His lips comfort themselves
unpleasantly, and his hands, twitching in
every finger, remind one of couple of
enormous spiders crawling over his
legs and along the arms of
his chair. Once in a while the right
hand makes tremulous expedition TO the
desk in front, and returns with handker-
chief dangling between thumb and fingers.
Sometimes, with great effort, it carries a
a glass of water from the ridge of the
desk to the cid mans mouth. Part of the
time he sits with leg hOisted on a corner
of the desk, or crossed over the opposite
knee. He is never motiOnless. His eyes
spires. Whenever the debate is earnest,
or an interesting question is uppermost-
particularly if it concerns the South, or
his own State of Tennessee-he lis
tens to it as it were through every pore :;
the big dark veins on his temples grow
bigger and darker; the desk shakes with
the shaking of his leg; his hands clutch
venOmously at his trowsers, and the
peculiar writing of his lips makes it ap-
pear as if he would give up all his life
after that one moment, if for the moment
he had strength to get on his feet, and
pour forth as of old flood of vitupera-
tiCn upon his enemies. But he has no
strength left to speak, and was compelled
the other day to have the person
al explanation of his course in
regard to recent political events in
Tennessee, which he had prepared
in manuscript read by the clerk. Some
expressions in it were abusive of Butler
and other members of the House, and
the Vice President stopped the reading.
The emotion Of the dying man in the
easy char so racked him at this juncture,
that another Senator, plying him, re-
quested that solely on account of his fee
bic condition, the reading might lie suf-
fered to proceed. This was assented to.
Had it been otherwise, perhaps the anger
of the Parson would have consumed him
