struck out, simply for the purpose o.

sums below $4,000, thus materially
reducing the size of the list In some

The New York Sun, from whose col,

"The government has instituted lc.

Masten, Halstead and Van Voorhis,
for the recovery of the amounts set
opposite their names. Others have,
since their retirement from Office, en-.

TAEiFF.-On the subject of Tariff
in the west, the St. Anthony's Falls
Democrat has the following: "lft
men wero TO form a colony and settle
in Colorado; and some were rich and
some were poor. If a tax was levied
on the property, then each man would
pay for the support of the govern
ment according TO this means But
if instead OF laying a tax on the prop
erty. 1t were enacted that so many
cents should be paid on every pound
of sugar, so many on every yard OF
cloth, so many on every pound Of salt
then the workingman, who had not n
dollar in the world, would pay as
much as the man worth ten thousand
So it is with the tariff ID is a
scheme TO get out Of workingmen
moro than their share Of the expense
They must eat as well as The rich
They must be clothed. BY taxing
articles Of consumption instead Of
property, The poor man is robbed
without perceiving IL. Under the
plea Of protection TO home Industry,
the operative pays for the fue road
over which the manufacturer drives
his coach and four. When the people
get their eyes open they will open the
country TO free trade.

stating that he had some relations OF

up by the Legislature next winter it
will have cost the taxpayers of the

will soon have to meet the same ques

the demand, and the politician will
submit in order to securev votes. If the
Radicals are continued in power, ne

Congress, having ~ II supposes, ar
ranged tho Constitution and the cleo.
ton laws, soas to osccure the negro vote,
has gone to work on the naturalization
laws, In ordcrto disiranchise the white
foreigner Mr., Conkling, from the
Judiciary Committee, last week re.
ported in the Senate substitute for
the bill regulating and making uni
form the system of naturalization
The bill deserves tho tito rather of
"a bill to discourage naturalization"
1t takes the power of naturalization
out of the hands of the State courts
and puts it in the hands of the United
States Judicial authorities. This will
have the effect Of discouraging emf.
grants from taking out their papers,
In the country United States courts
are few and far between, and the for.
eigners will find these provisions so
many difficulties thrown in their way.
In fact Congress has for five years
pa st, exhausted all its talents in en-
deavoring to enfrdnchise tho negro
race, now however, it has taken new
departure and is laboring just as zeal.
ously to disfrdnchise the white race,
whose votes and labor are likely to
come in competition with the "gentle-
man from Africa" and Radicalism in
particular. The white man must be a
fool, or blind, who cannot see the
drift of Radicalsm at this day. Their
object is as visible as the sun at noon.
The time and talents of the leaders in
Congress and tho State Legislatures
in which they have a majority, is
wholly consumed in the interest of the
negro and for the benefit of their own
pockets, and against the interests Of
the white man and the country.

SENsIBLE.-The Senate army bill
prohibits officers and others on the ac
tive ar retired list, from holding civil
Office. We hope that the House may
concur in this prohibition. Until the
advent of Radicalism, the detailing of
officers of the army for Official civil
duty was scarcely known in the histo-
ry of our government. Even "the
late lamcnted" managed to get along
without being surrounded by a squad
Of stars and straps Il has been re-
served for the stolid Grant TO make
innovations on the honest practices Of

The Public Record the new penny
paper In Philadelphia, while main.
taining complete independence of
parties, deals some telling blows at
existing abuses. Under the above
caption 1t has the following editorial
remarks:
Somo Frcnch Minister, Richclicu, II
we remember right, used to give di.
rections TO his thx gathcrers, when
they went out among the people Ia
gather tho revenues, "not pluck the
goose so closely as to make Il squeak"
Apparently there is no American e.
nancier, who has sense enough, or, il
no has sense, who has strength enough
to enforcesuch instructions on our tax
gathcrcrs. That patient goose, our
good public, does "squeak" most
plaintively under its taxes, and with,
out relief Yet, il is not so much the
closeness of the plucking as the man.
nor of it, that makes the American
public dissatisfied with the operation
Of the revenue system. We have q
grea. debt, contracted in long and
desperate war The people are con
ten. to pay that debt in any just and
proper way, and will make reasonable
sacrifices TO that end but when they
see, as they have seen for years, an
expensive machinery for the collection
on the one hand, and a multitude OF
"itching palms" in those who run the
machinery, on the other hand, il is nc
wonder that the people complain
The case may bo likened to some ol
those foreign charitable societies,
whose purpose is highly commenda
BILE, and whose money, if it ever reach
es the bene6ciaries, does great deaI
of good, but who yet lose in the trans
mission so great part of the charity
through the percentages and salaries
of agents as to make the affair doub
w expensive one to the charitable
givers. Nor is this all Other Gle
ments besides expensive machinery
come in to diminish the amount OF
the taxes wrung out of the hard earn
ings of the people. If any class Of
officers should be not only above the
charge of corruption, but above sus
picion Of it, surely it should be those
who assess and collect the revenues
Even the judicial officers of the gov.
ernment ought not to be more up
right, or incapable of dishonesty
And yet we habitnally find revenue
officers distributed as the spoils o.
party triumph to men whose chic
recommendation is their past party
service. If our readers think we over
state the evil, they have only tC
glance through the following ofiicia

DEvILIsH.-At the Radical meeting
on Saturday evening last, DR.. Bayne,
the colored orator, thanked God for
the great calamity that killed about
seventy-fve persons, and wounded
double that number in Richmond
three weeks ago Bayne regarded
this awfal and appalling accident as a
visitation of Providence upon the
white race in Virginia These senti.
ments were warmly and loudly APP
plauded by the mass of sable listeners,
and strange to say, there were whites
who acquiesced in Bayne's sentiment
and in the applause which followed
its ntterance, without attempting to
correct or reprove this worse than
eannibal feeling, which gloated over
the destruction Of the lives of so many
human beings.-Norfoik Va. journal

STRANGE DEMocRAoY.-The Elk
Democrat, or other Democratic jour
nails, must be hard up for patronage
when it comes down so low as to ad-
vertise Hdrper's Weekly, one of the
vilest sheets in the country. 1t is
constantly libeling the Democratic
party and doing its best to destroy
the institutions of this country. Why
a Democratic newspaper should so fat
forget its duty to the country and its
party as to puff such satanic publica-
tions, is beyond our conception.

tee for several weeks past. The frauds

his paper and stationary contracts,

original rebel, turned Radical, would

being in the hands of statesmen, are
really controlled by a set of mere pc.

Nor Much DIFFERENcE.-A heavy
controversy has been going on be-
tween Loncoln's old law partner and
his late private Secretary, as to
whether "the late lamented" was a
Christian or an Iufdel. We do not
suppose that it makes much difference
now which he was, as his account has
been settled. We know there was a
great deal of praying done for him by
the '4oil MILLIONS" while he was per
petrating bis smutty jokes in Wash.
ington, but the fact that he died in a
Theatre on Good Friday should put a
guietus on his christianity. Few
christians die in such places.
