We find the following in the
Washington correspondence of the
New York Tribune:
The manner in which partisan
telegrams from the South have been
manufactured and published in the
North, to further the personal de-
signs Of unscrupulous and ambitious
men, was well shown up in the de-
velopments brought o 1t in reference
to the Washington Chronicle during
the recent Georgia investigation.
The same game is now going on
with reference to the internal affairs
of other Southern States. 1t is be-
lieved that the ensuing elections in
the South will result,in some instan-
ces, not perhaps in the defeat of the
Republican party, but in the defeat
of the certain individuals who are
and have been using that party as a
means only to their own selfish ad-
vancement. Foreseeing this, the
effort is to get up an excuse to de-
declare martial law, and local news
papers in the interest OF the men al
luded to teeming with accounts of
outrages. This is particularly the
case in North Carolina, and no sur
prise need be felt at a daily dish of
horrors from that State, served up
in the Chronicle, .'for," said one of
the North Carolina Senators, 1--WE
intend to use the military, and, in
justification, we must get these state
ments disemii ated through the
North"
We have little doubt of the entire
truth of this statement but it is a
little surprising TO find it in the Trib
une, which not SO very long since
served up daily dishes of such hor-
rors without questioning their gen,
ulneness. We never took much
stock in the "Southern outrage
business, and now it is time for it to
an end.-C. Herald,

The New York Herald of Monday
says of the inauguration to this
country from Europe duriug the
past week: "The cry of Still they
come" does not adequately express
the overflow of the people from Eu-
rope on our shores for they come
more freely than ever. Two thou
sand day was the average of last
week, making for six days a fair
figure over twelve thousand. Two
incoming ships brought upward of
fifteen hundred each.''

Frida, Morning, July 1,
The Abolition of the Income Tax.


There are many features in this
Government which renders it par
ticularly dear to those who depend
upon hard physical toll for their
living. Among these features fav-
orable to the poor, is their exempt
ion from paying any income tax.
He, whose annual income does not
exceed one thousand dollars, is not
called upon to pay cent of income
tax. The income tax is laid ex-
clusively upon those whose income
is large. Under the present law it is
five per cent on all an individual
makes over thousand dollars. He
who is so fortunate as to make over
a thousand year can we'll afford to
pay small per cent tax to support
the Government under which he en-
joyes his prosperity. The income
tax, then is borne by class ofpeo-
pie who can best afford to pay it.
Indeed, it may very properly be
styled tax upon wealth and pros
perity.
Well, on last Friday, the Tax and
Tariff bill was under consideration
in the Senate and a vote on the sec
tions to continue the income tax
was had, resulting 81 for its aboH
ton and % for it's retention.
Senator Sherman, strenuously
opposed the abolition of this tax, as
his recent speech which we published
showed, and he recorded his vote
against abolition; but Senator Thur
man voted for it's abolition. This
vote of S enator Thurman may suit
his Democratic constituency, but as
its actual effect is to take burden
from the shoulders of the prosper
GUS and wealthy of the nation and
imposes the same upon the poor,
whose income consists of few
hundred dollars a year,the action of
Mr.. Thurman seems to us like very
curious Democracy. 1t should be
remembered in this connection that
the friends of the retention of the
income tax proposed to reduce the
tariff on coffee, sugar, tea, but if the
House concurs in the doctrine of the
Senate, the tariff On these luxuries
of the poor, remain the same. At
all events, the Government is
obliged to have SO much revenue to
pay its expenses and it must come
from somewhere.
We regret the action of the Senate
because we believe that the income
tax is the least oppressive of all
taxes, it being borne by those most
able to afford it. We dispise license
tax and the whole revenue stamp
business, but look back to those
years when we had some income tax
to pay as prospero ones, but not
so upon the other years. We don't
object to pay five per cent. on all we
can make over a thousand. The
trouble is to make something to pay
tax on.

The Flow of Wheat to Europe.

The sudden and extraordinary
rise in wheat, and the tremendous
demand now being made on the
navigation of the lakes and the At
lantic for transportation abroad, are
so market as to have some important
meaning. In two weeks, wheat rose
twenty three cents in Milwaukee, and
since the 9Th inst. it has uniformly
ruled about forty cents above the
prices of last winter and spring
This rise started the immence sur
plus in the hands of the farme and
in a few days Chicago and Milwau-
kee were deluged with grain in such
quantities that the lake vessels were
wholly unable to move it. The same
desperate demand tor ocean freight
age exists in New York and Boston.
1t was recently announced at the
New York board of trade that two
n w steamers would be added to a
certain line for Liverpoole, and the
freighting capacity of both was bid
up and taken within ten minutes.
While our farmers and grain n-dealers
are rejoicing over the rise.its causes
are worth studying. The cable an
nounces an alliance between Russia
and Egypt against Turkey. The
Gar is moving the first pawns in his
deep Laid game against the Sultan,
and no one can tell where it will end.
The wheat of Asia Minor, the Crimea
and the Southern steppes of Russia
will be therefore an uncertain and
hazardous source of supply. Long
continued drought in France and
England has nearly cut off the cereal
crops of those countries. The
French government is already a
buyer of grain at the wharves of
Liverpool. America is overstocked
with wheat. Millions and millions
ofbushels are now wanting market
The result has been natural. Grain
has bounded upward, and the vast
overplus of wheat that has hung SO
heavily on our hands for the past
year is now thrown into the gap
made by drouth and impending war
in Europe. In our own country,
too, fears of an unfavorable season
have added to the buoyancy of the
market but the copions rains Of the
past fortnight have come to our re-
Left in ample season, and the coun-
try now looks forward to another
which, if. not equal to that of last
L e, L.
equal to it's own necessities. The rise
has come at time when freights
are low and all the lake and canal
lines in full activity, and there will
oe seen this season such a pouring
of grain eastward as must make glad
the pockets Of those who have been
content to SOW broadly and await the
cominga of profitable market

The Salt Robbery.

The New York Evening Post
says the Cincinnati Gazette, thus de
scribes q contrivance for cutting the
throats of American people under
the swindling pretense ofprotection.
We ask the Western farmer and
meat packer how much better this
practice is upon him than stealing,
and how much more friendly TO him
are the paid organs that support this
than the thieves that rob his hen
roosts and smoke house:
At Syracuse is situated power
full monopoly, which, by the use of
the basest arts, has secured laws
from the State and from the United
States, which enables it to lay a
heavy burden upon one of the chief
necessaries of life, salt. Read here
the story of the salt fraud: Former
ly the State allowed any one who
would, to erect salt works; under
this free and liberal policy, any one
could have a salt lot set apart for
him, and on erecting works,no mat
ter how rude or small the State
furnished him brine. Many poor
men thus became masters of such
work. In 1859, the present salt mo-
nopolists induced the Legislature to
ssrepeal the statute declaring it a
misdemeanorfo for individuals to con
spire or combine for the purpose of
restricting, regulating, or in any
manner interfering with the free
manufacture of salt on the States
salt reservation, or fixing. or regu-
lating the price; also, the law en-
couraging manufacturer to sink
wells and supply themselves with
brine, by abating two fifths of the
duty; and enacting in effect that
thereafter all the brine the State
could furnish should be given ex-
clusively to the salt works then in
existence"
Having thus by act of the Legis
lature stopped the increase of salt
works, the next act of these mono
polists was to lease all the salt works
then existing, which they did at a
rate equal to twenty-five per cent.
per aHnum on their just value. Hav-
ing thus perfected their plot, they
induced Congress to lay duty Of
over one hundred per cent Oh for
eign salt; and thus guarded against
competition, both at home and
abroad, by monstrous and unjust
laws, they began to descrease the
supply of salt in order to increase
the price.
There are three hundred and six
teen fine salt works on the reserva-
ton, capable Of making twenty mil
lions of bushels of salt per year !;
their average annual product for ten
years has been but five and a-half
m lions.
By thus monopolizing and re-
stricting the production of salt, these
conspirators did in two years, on a
capital of only 100000, declare
dividends to the amount ofS942, ,000
besides multiplying the value of
their works.
Now, to retain their possession of
this monopoly, they found it advis
able to have representative in Con-
gress. They have sent there one of
their own stockholders, Dennis Nc.
Carty, who has regularly voted, of
course, to keep the duty on salt
and to persuade others to vote with
him, has eagerly supported all other
monopolies.

The Presidents Cuban message
probably determined the action of
the House upon the subjuct. Both
the majority and minority reports
were set aside. Cuba was not rec
ognized as a belligerent, and the
nutrality laws were not changed in
favor of the island; but the Presi-
dent was instructed to use his infu-
ence with both parties to moderate
the ferocity with which the war is
waged. Yet, but for the very plain
and positive statement of the mes
sage, the House, in its present con,
dition Of general Indifference, and
mindful of the tradition of manifest
destiny, would very possibly have
supported General Banks proposal,
which is conceived in the spirit of
that tradition. The propriety of
the Presidents conduct in sending
the message has been questioned.
But nothing IS planer than the con-
stitutional power and duty of an
executive communication upon pub
lie affairs of Congress, cas- he shall
see necessary and expedient." And
the perfect vindication of the Presi-
dents course upon this occasion lies
in the fact that it undoubtedly pro-
duce the result which the best judg-
ment of the country approves, and
which was otherwise very doubtful

! Suggestion-County infirmary

Our readers are well aware, that
from the beginning we supported
the proposition for the building of
an Infirmary for the unfortunate of
our county. We have always look
ed upon the question as one devoid
of any political bearing. Politics
should have nothing to do with it
The poor must be properly cared
for, the people foot the bill; hence,
this institution should be placed
under the control of men
who will do justice to the
unfortunate committed to
their care, and exercise such pru-
dence and economy, in the man
agement of the instution, as will
command the appreciation of the
tax payers of the county. To the
end, then, that this most desirable
object may be attained, we suggest
that at the approaching election,
fer Directors of said Infirmary, no
regard be had to politics, but that
men distinguished for their eficien-
cy, in the management Of their own
business, and favorable to the iustl-
ton, be taken from both parties
and elected unanimously.
1t was our intention to make the
above suggestion last week, but
could not find time to write it. We
would say that meanwhile We
have made known our intention to
do this to number of influential
| gentleman of both parties and are
pleased to state that 1t has been
well received.
A dispatch from Columbus, to
the Cincinnati Gazette of the 25th
inst, says:
General l. M. Kirby, while here
to day, positively declined to allow
his name to be used as a candidate
for Secretary of State. This leaves
Sherwood the only candidate now
on the track.
