When Won are exhausted by overwork Of head

thing, whether under the name OF Btters or other-
wise. Such articles give just as much strength
to your weary body and mind as the wnip gives
to the jaded horse, and no more. Alcononc SUM
ulants are injurious to nerve health, and are al
ways followed by depressing reaction.

Montgomery Market.

MONTGOMERY, october 2.-CoTroN- Since our
last review there has been considerable decline
in cotton, this market losing fully TX cents.
The receipts at the ports are growing larger
daily, and the stock on hand Is rapidly accumu-
lating. The season for picking has been unpre-
cedentedly good throughout the cotton States.
This has enabled planters to gather very rapidly,
and thus far the quality is better than for several
seasons.

The bill before tho Senate Of Nebraska for
the abolition of capital punishment ost the 27th
ult., by vote OF Yeas, q; Nays, ..
A meeting of native Virginians, including
farmers, traders and professional men, was held In
Notoway County, the other day which passed resolu-
lions ndorsng the movement, doprecating further
resistance to tho Reconstruction acts OF Congress- and
finally resolving itself into political organization under
the name Of the Republican party.
The Hon. Alexander Ii. III. Stuart, In re-
cent speech at Stanton Va stated that Gen. Robert f.
Lee not only heartily agrees with tho NEW movement
but that che was among tho first to suggest the ideas
which control ito The Norfolk Journal thinks the sup
port of Gen. Lee more than Offset to all the old oges
who oppose the movement-thlnks 1t worth more even
than five epstles several columns each which we pre-
sume IA intended as hit at vaorous and volumlnous
though not very luminous Gen. Wise.
A dispatch from our correspondent at Harris
bure PENN dated Feb. 4, says: The Republican State
Central Committee met here to-day. The attendance Of
tho Committee unusually full and after ami

that the state Convention for the nomination of cand

THE INCOME TAX.

The House of Representatives has been at
work on Gen. Schenck's venerable bill revising
and codifying our Internal Revenue system,
and has concluded to let the Income Tax stand
as it is. We regret this. The Income Tax Is
the most odious vexatious, inquisitorial, and
UNEQUAL, of all our taxes. Here, for instance,
are two brothers, of whom one lives on farm
in Iowa, the other in the heart of this City
the former having an income of $4,000, the
latter ono of $4,000. The Iowa farmer is far
better off than his City brother, lives more
freely, keeps his horse and wagon, which his
brother cannot begin to afford; yet the former
pays $50 Income Tax and the latter $3.50
You cannot frame an Income Tax that will not
operate thus unequally
An Income Tax is a tax on honesty, and inst
the reverse of Protective. 1t tends to tax the
quality out of existence. Many who pay in full
are provoked and tempted by seeing their
richer neighbors get off by the payment OF
trife or without paying at all. 1t does gall one
who has just paid an Income Tax of $500 to see
his richer neighbor come chuckling out OF the
collectors Office with a receipt in full for 500.
We are not grumbling at this tax. We
grumble at no necessary tax; and we Deileve
this is, for the present, necessary. we only
insist that it shall be fairly levied and sternly
collected. This is one of the many good things
we expect from the rule that is soon to be.
To insure it, the widest publicity is essential
and this is what we ask Congress to secure.
Provide that every person above the rank of
day -laborer be assessed the full amount OF
his probable income, and let every one swear
his assessment down if he honestly can. But
let his affidavit to this end be rendered in
writing and filed among the public records of
the office and let a full mot partially list of the
tax payers and the sums paid by the mrespect-
lively be always open to public inspection and
TO publication. Let it be understood that every
list will be published. with the names of all
who swore that they had no income above
81 900 per annum, and we shall realize this year
twice the amount collected last year. Next
year, or the year after, we trust that this tax
may be dispensed with altogether.

The action of the House yesterday in pro-
tecting its dignity 10y consuming delegate who
said substantially that Gen. Butler had uttered
deliberate falsehOods in debate, was very well.
We only regret that it should be so incon-
sistent, and that so obscure person should
have been pounced upon, while higher game,
albeit carrion, has again and again
been permitted to fly untouched. Has this
virtuous House forgotten the disgraceful
scene in its chamber one evening during the
progress of the Impeachment Trial last Spring 7
Has it forgotten later performances scarcely
less creditable2 Censure for such offenses is
good, but House that really respects itself
might better have made an earlier beginning
somewhere else than upon an obscure and de
fenceless Territorial delegate.

OF course, we know that our late Civil war

that all must expect to bear portion OF them.
Neither Capital, Labor, nor LOaferlsm' can

two things-Grst, his duty to the people, and
second, his obligations as man OF honor

The higher education of women seems,
strange to say, to make quicker and more re-
markable progress in Russia than in countries
of an older civilization where it has had an
earlier start. But all over the world 1t is
law of nature that growth is rapid wherever
the Spring is late. John Stuart Mill has writ
ten letter of congratulation to some ladies
at st Petersburg, who are organizing scheme
for the education Of their sex in medicine and
the other sciences, and in it he makes this
wise remark: 81 am profoundly convinced
=" that the moral and intellectual progress OF
90 the male sex runs q great risk of stopping
" if not of recedng, as long as that of the
women remains behind, and that, not only
because nothing can replace the mother for
" the education of children, but also because
the influence upon man himself of the char
acter and ideas of the companion of his life
cannot be insignificant; woman must either
push him forward or hold him back" There
was a funny commentary on this letter, how
ever, few weeks ago at the Medico- Chirurgi-
cal Academy of st. Petersburg, where for the
first time in Russia the. degree of Nj. ID. was
conferred upon woman. The successful can
didate, Madame Kaschewarow, was cheered
by the students and lifted upon a chair, in
which they set out to bear her with shouts
around tho hall. But i'll the midst OF her
triumph the tickle men, espyng Pauline Lucca,
the opera singer, among the audience, de-
throned the new doctor, and raised up the

Howard University, given in our Washington

great public building so constructed that one
architect thinks it may possibly be used year
or two if no weights are allowed on any but the
lower floors and no jars are permitted. An
other thinks it might stand through the Winter
provided the bricks are soaked with oil and
then painted, to keep the water from crumbling
them down; but that frame building should
be put up inside its walls, to hold up the
floors and roof! Finally, after further tests,

comparative safety! Was there ever more
