The Income Tax.

is Mr., Casserly drove nail into the Re-
publican coffin yesterday. when he COM
PEELED that party to confront a. square
vote on the repeal of the income tax,
which he offered as an amendment to
the House bill for increasing the duty
raw sugars quarter ofa cent per pound.
Various attempts were made to evade a
direct test, andgte dodge, the real issue
by disingenuousi explanations, but they
all failed to meet the real point. MIR.
Sherman, as usual, fought for the tax,
upon the ground that it, would deprive
the Government of sufficient means to
meet the current expenses : but he was
promptly and crushingly answered by
Mr., Trumbull, who told him that, Che
same argument had been used atthe last
session, when 1t was notorious that, on
ly few months afterwards, the Repub-
licaus claimed. as an extraordinary merit
that the Administration was redeeming
the public debt at the rate of ten or
twelve millions per month, thus proving
the faIsity of the allegation, that the rev
enue from income was needed. y efa
He also cited the fact that an hun
tlred millions of gold, drawing no lin
terest, were lying idle in the Treasury
while thus and other 0nerous taxes were
imposed on the people without a color
of justice After this exposure, Mr.
Sherman was constrained to apply his
remark to next years revenue, for which
There is just as much foundation as there
was for similar statement last July. ap
lplicable TO the present time q s9'ass y
When the income tax was originally
Imposed, it was with the distinct con
dition that it would,expire on the 30tl
of June, 1870. And when that tim,
came it was renewed, without theleas
respect to either the legal or the NOR

to move for an allowance of costs in the

E%T The Radical majority in the Uni

Grant-San Domingo papers, will refuse
to admit Governor Vance to seat as
Senator from North Carolina, becausea
Governor Vance, after the Secession Or,

into rebellion. The same men in the
Senate who will refuse Vance a seat, vo-
ted to cohtirm Akerman, who was on
General Toombs' staff in the Confeder-
ate army, as Attorney General of the
United States; General Longstreet,
whose garments fairly reeked with the

Amnesty.


The New York Evening Post Repuh-

favor of q general amnesty when i
says: -s
ION the question Of general amnesty,
the people are, we believe, with General
Schurz. 1t is more than five years since
the war ceased. the men who dropped
their citizenship in 1861 have had time
since the war closed to reacqpire it, in
regular form, had g., suggestion which,
we think, first came from General Grant,
been adopted that all who engaged in
the rebellion should be required to be;
come citizens under the naturalization
law, just as FOREIGNERS do"
Notwithstanding the justice of this,
it is certain that the men in power will
not extend to the Southern people the
same privileges they give to foreigners
until they receive some more hard
knocks such as they got lately in Miss
-ouri and West Virginia. The policy Is
to ALLEVIATE andrepel the South instead
ot concliating it. IS; ....t
