The Mongrels are tearing
each other to pieces whenever
they can get an opportunity;
OF like wolves, if they find a
sick subject, they let him in,
and rend him limp from limp.
Public Printer Clapp, is now a
sick Subject He has been
made the object of serious as
saults by enemies in his own
party, and they are bound to
oust him from his fat berth,
and give some other hungry
fellow the place. Clapp is
known in Buffalo, New York;
he has been a resident of that
place from boyhood, and, from
his repudiation there, it may be
inferred that he is head and
shoulders in point of respecta-
bility and business talent, above
any of his assailants, He goes
in strong for the niggers with
his white employees, and is at
least consistent. Ifthe men be
gives work to belive in the
Fifteenth Amendment" and
they must, or he would not en-
ploy them, then he is correct
in stuffing his Office full of
sinking darkies, and making
the white trash fraternize with
them. If he has rendered him
self obnoxious by "too much
nigger," he is all right. Go it,
Clapp, and give your party
nigger to its|ill. 1t will help
our side amazingly by and by.

The Signs Multiply.

White supremacy is looming
up. Niger equality is sinking
deeper and deeper daily. In a
year or two it will have gone
out of sight. The Fifteenth
Amendment" bill is purging
the, nation. Three cheers for
Doctor Grant, who has prescri-
bed the very dose Democracy
hoped for. The hair of the dog
will cure the poison of his bite.
Last fall the county of Sum-
merville, New Jersey, without
any niggers to help the white
trash of the Mongrel party,g gave
Democratic majority Of 80.
This spring the niggers voted
to the number Of 70, and as a
body, with their political mas.
ters the dirty Mongrels, and
what was the result Of the con.
test? The Democratic major
ity of 30, with a nigger vote
to help the Mongrels, has been
increased to one hundred and
one; 70 woolly heads voted all
they knew how, and to a frac-
tion, for their Mongrel keepers,
and here we see another mys-
terious mathematico-polltical
enigma. A Democratic ma
jority of 80 is increased to 1Ol,
by the addition of 70 nigger
votes to the strength of the en-
emies of Democracy! This is
a miracle as stupendous as any
of the past ages, but these mod
ern miracles are taking place
now IN sundry and divers spots
all over the country. Every
timea gang of woolly heads is
triumphantly marched to the
polls, and made to vote as a
unit with their own party,some-
how the political strength of
that party is lessened, and that
of the white mans party in
creases. All right. The
amendment works. 1t is a po-
litical blessing in Disguise
Pile it on, Grant & Co., pile it
on. 1t is bound to redeem the
shackled white race.

An Army of 25,OOO Men.

Senator Wilson, of Mass
achusetts, from the Military
Committee, has introduced a
bill into the United States
Senate which directs the PreSi-
dent to reduce the number of
enlisted men in the army to 25,-
600 before July l, 1871. Now,
what in the world do we want
with a regular force of $4,000
soldiers? What good can they
do? What are they but a
needless bill of expense? Be
fore the war we managed to
get along with an army not
half that number. At that
time we had no National debt,
and our expenses were not one
fourth Of what they are now
We do not require for garrison
and frontier warfare more than
ten thousand soldiers, and every
one over that number is an un-
mitigated outrage. 1t is simply
a squandering of the public
funds to have them. Twenty
five thouslpd men is not a
force upon the peace basis. 1t
is a large standing army, which
is utterly incompatible with
the existence of q republic
We hope, in the election to
the next Congress, that spec.
ial stress will be laid upon a
wholesale reduction of the re-
gular army and navy. In case
OF war we can always rely up
on the brave volunteers Of the
country.

U. S. Grant, we notice, has
just got it through his by no
means brilliant head that under
the legal tender decision of the
Supreme Court the soldiers and
sailors who enlisted in the war
before the passage of the legal
tender act will be entitled to
call upon the Government for
the balance of their payment in
gold. Certainly they will, and
is itnot an equitable call? But,
in order to head off these sol
dierS and sailors, Grant is anx-
ious that the Supreme Court
should reverse its decision, and
take an adverse position. Here
is gratitude that the soldiers
and sailors will appreciate. He
who has himself been made
by them-who has become a
millionaire President-would
now back the United States Su.
prehe Court with Judges, be-
cause otherwise the soldiers
might obtain that which the
country agreed to give them,

How the Tariff Works.

1t is stated by one who has
analysed the tariff that under
the present scale of duties some
important. chemicals, like sui
phur and the phosphates, of
which so enormousa deposit
has been discovered on the
South Carolina coast, can be
sent to England to be reduced
into proper manures, and ship
ped back to this country more
cheaply than they can be re-
duccd on the spot where they
are dug out. This is protect
ing home industry with a ven
geance.' Yet there is not the
least probability that this tariff
will be changed.

The Military above the Civil
Power.

Even under the military bill
of Senator Wilson, which we
are asked to look upon as a re.
form, the salaries of the Cen
eral and Lieutenant General OF
the Army are fixed at $4,000
and $4,000 a year. There
are perquisites and rations that
will add thousands Of dollars
more to each salary. In the
mean time the Secretary Of
State and all the Cabinet off
icers receive but $4,000 per
annum. The Vice President
has $4,000. The Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court has $6,-
900. The idea, therefore, is to
reward military men more
than civilians. To give to
General Sherman, who fills q
useless Office, thousands of dol
lars more than we pay to the
highest civil dignitaries of the
Government, shows an evil
sign. A soldier takes prece-
dence in emoluments to the
Chief Justice.

that the result of their deliber-
atoms will be to strengthen the

ence among the industrial class.
When the attention Of intel

the incongruity of a political
alliance between Radical mil
lioneries and the producing in
dustry of the country-an al
lance the chief fruit of which
thus far has been to impose al
most all the burdens of taxa
ton upon labor, while accu-
mulated capital goes free-we
can not be disappointed in the
expectation that the alliance
will come to a speedy end.-

from their Radical rulers, they
must make it themselves.

MI. Voorhees, OH the Income


L rom IllG UlODe OF MOnQay
we copy the following remarks
of Hon. ID. w. Voorhees,, o.
Indiana, on the income tax.
1 represent a large agricult
ural district, populous and in
good circumstances. I think,
however, l should be faithless
to their wishes on this subject
if I voted here to relieve that
class Of people who are best
able to pay tax upon their in.
comes. The tax falls on that
class of people, who, the very
term oft, have an income to
be assessed. The gentleman
from New York (Mr. Wood
says that this tax is inquisitor.
ial. The tariff on the articles
which enter into the ordinary
consumption of a household is
still more inquisitorial in its
character than this tax. There
is nothing that goes upon a
mans person, nothing that he
lives upon, nothing that cloth
es his family, but is visited with
the inquisition of taxation.
According to my view of the
situation of affairs, taxation is
quite unequal enough now, and
should not be made more un.
equal by relieving the wealthier
and better able classes Of the
payment Of this tax. Instead
Of this being an unpopular tax,
[ would say to this House
that the most unpopular act
it could commit would be, in
my judgment, to repeal the in
come tax. On whom does this
tax fall? On bondholders, an
though not half so heavily as [
would make it fall on them if
| had the power. On bankers,
though not to the extent it
ought. On the wealthy man,
ufacturers and merchants, and
on aggregated capital in what.
ever hands it may be found
Instead of this being too in
quisitorial a tax, l would make
it more SO ifhad the power for
under the law as it now is men
evade their taxes. 1t is a con.
slant complaint in the various
collection district that men, by
false returns, by untrue ac-
counts, evade paying the prop
er tax on their incomes. And
why should not wealthy men
pay this tax? Is it inquisitorial
ito impose a tax upon incomes,
which are better able to pay
taxes than any thing else?
This is a complaint which I
can not comprehend, especial
ly when the taxgatherer goes
into every household and lays
his hungry hand on the person
of every laborer, every farmer,
every mechanic, and every
member of a mans family,
visiting them with an inquisi-
ton which has no limit or re-
straint, in order to raise the
revenue under our system of
tariff taxation. And if 1 had
the power, instead of removing
the system Of inquisition which
executes the income tax, [
would make it still more bind
ing, | would make those who
executes the law fulfill their
obligations more carefully and
morh fully than they do now.
