CARPET. DAG RULERS. I'VE have never
seen anything about the oarpet-bag gen.,
try more pointed or severe than the fol-
lowing, taken from the New York Sun, q
Republican journal, edited by Charles e.
Dana, formerly of the Tribune, and more
recently Assistant Secretary of War
under Stanton. That paper says that
the overwhelming defeat Of Gen. Grants
administration in North Carolina, fore
shadows it's downfall in all the former
slave-holding States. The fruits of the
carpet-bag reign of the last five years are
what might have been expected. The
world may be searched in vain for go
vernments 80 immoral, 30 shamelessly
corrupt, so hopelessly rotten. as those
now prevailing in the South. Politically,
they may be changed; but this cannot
cure one of the sorest evils already in
ficted. These scamps have run the
States they rule ruinously into debt. The
Legislatures controlled by them have
pledged the States to the discharge of
pecuniary obligations of crushing weight,
to the future redemption of an enormous
amount of bonds, and to tho imposition
of onerous taxes, through series of
years.
This has been done in furtheranco of
all sorts of schemes whereby the authors
reap present wealth and anticipate larger
gains in the immediate future. These
burdens have already seriously embar-
rassed all of these States, and we'll nigh
bankrupted some of them; and to save
them from ruin, the reign of the carpet
bag robbers must be speedily brought to
an end. There would seem to be no
good reason Why the honest men in these
sorely plundered States should not band
together, irrespective of past political
differences, and wrest them out of the
hands of the thieves that despoil them.
All the issues which made their advent
even q possibility hnve been settled.
Let the better class of old citizens accept
the situation in good faith, and assure
the negroes that there is no disposition
to deprive them of their newborn privi-
leges, and there will be an uprising of
the people that will drive out these
ravenous villains, and restore to the
States what they have not had since they
plunged into rebellion nine years ago,
stable, thrifty respectable governments"

vERIFICATION OF INCOME RETURNS.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT., OFFICE OF INTERVAL
REXENUE. WASHINGTON. Aprll %. 1870. J


SIR: Your attention is requested to the letter
of - -, OF which inclose copy. l have
answered to Mr.. - that income returns should be
verified before the Assistant Assessor to whom they
made. 1t appears, however from his letter, that some
Assistant Assessors accept ~ regular returns Yered
before "A Notary Public. This practice is certainly CON
rary to the spirit and intention OF the law, and, THINK
inconsistent with its letter, and should not be permitted
Some exceptions to this rule should doubtless be
allowed, in cases, for instance, Of Members OF
Congress and state Legislatures, and others,
whose public duties personal business require
them to be absent from home at the time when the IN
come returns required by law TO be rendered, Ill
whose cases would to be proper TO allow the
turns to be verified before Assessor or Assistant As
OF the place in which the party may be when me
stant could ask the questions appended in the
form OF return as prescribed.
This letter is written you that you may cause As
stut and the public at largo In your district
to be informed OF the Illegally OF the practice referred
to. Respectfully yours, e. DEIANo, C9Hlnllsslouer'
