The Round Table, in oaustc review of the Allan
tic Monthly article on the separation of Lord and
Lady Byron confesses that the general rebuke it has
received and deserved far it affects New Eng
lands love Of morbid literature will be thrown away
both on Mrs Stowe, the offending caterer, and the
New England appetite, but that it may prove so far
good-it may hereafter prevent those who stand at
the key-hoe from rushing to the housetop to reveal
the eavesdroppings This rebuke has been universal
so far as we have seen in both England and America
with the solitary exception of the New York Tribune
whose editor is philantbropist and was bound to be-
lieve the scandal His belief in human perfectibity
seems to be precisely proporoned to his credulity in
its weaknesses We take for granted that this gross
and indecae scandal will be believed, geographically,
only in New England, whose philanthropic sons and
mascunish daughters seek, beyond the sterile fields
of their own land the btterest proofs of human wrong
and the fereest displays Of human passion Their
hearts, cices like their hyperborean climate are too
pure for either

MISUNDERSTANDING the meanest Of the atrocities
of the present internal revenue system is the provision
which requires that working mechanics, like shoema-
kers, who take work home to complete, no matter
how small portion of the work may be done at their
homes, shall pay the special United States of $40
manufacturers provided the work taken home dur
ing the year exceeds $1,000 in value it leaves the
workman's hands. Thus the poor aborer pays not
only upon his earnings through the income tax law,
but rapaeious Government compels him to pay a
ten,doar levy for the poor privilege of toiling to
his bread. And this while more than two thou
sand millions Of capital accumulated in the hands of
wealthy non-producers, escapes with taxation so in
significant to be only visible under microscope

IMPORTANT DEcIsros-The New Orleans Times of
the 22d, states that the Supreme Court of Louisiana
has recently decided at its sitting in Opeousas, on an
appeal from the District Court Of st. Landry, very
important question relating to the construction of the
l4th amendment of the Federal Constitution. The
that Of the State in the relation of Amrin vs.
A. Gorrique, and the decision Of the Supreme Court
is that when has taken oath Of office before the
war to support the Constitution Of the United States
and during the war held Office in State in rebellion
which required him to take oath to support the Con-
ederate States, such person cannot be said to have
engaged in insurrection and rebellion against the
United States, or given aid comfort to the enemies
thereof in the meaning of section 8, 18th Amendment
This decision will be found very important and Of large
scope in reducing and limiting the scope Of the dis
anehising clauses of the Constitution and acts of
Congress.
