The National Board Of Trade, which
has been in session in Buffalo Tor several
days past, had an interesting discussion
on Saturday, on the question of the re-
sumption of specie payments. We are
pleased to note from the report Of the
discussion that nearly all Of the speak
ers agreed that resumption is necessary
to the prosperity and stability of our
business interests, and differed only as
to the time and method Of resuming 1t
is not long since there Were hundreds of

that were arguing that there is no neces.

NHE WAR.

We condense the following from the
last two days dispatches concerning
the European war:
MEUNG, Dec. S,-The Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg defeated the Third French
Army Corps here to-day. The German
losses were severe, but those Of the
French were still heavier The Ger

A squadron of French gunboats has
been sent to protect shipping entering
the port Of St Nazire, at the mouth of
the Loire.
Tours, Dec. Sit is said that the
Tours Government will 60 to Bordeaux

the personnel and officers 90 on te>night
Gambetta and the Ministry Bureau will
not leave until they are obliged to do SO
LONDON, Dec. 9.-The La Citizen, of
.his city, in an editorial to-day, has the
following: Further resistance on the
part of the French will end in anarchy
or the permanent occupation of the coun,
try by the conquerers, or the armed in
PREVENTION of neutrals. Intervention
would be worse than either anarchy or
foreign occupation. The guilt of further
resistance would not be on men of the
4th of September; but opon the counsel
ors of the Emperor who prevented the
Empress from making terms after the
surrender of Sedan The Senators of
the Empire, the Empress presiding, must
now meet and make peace with the con-
queror.'
LONDON Dec. l0--The Times has re-
ceivej n telegram from Berlin, which
says King William will return to Berlin
after the equalization Of Paris, even if
the war is continued after that time.
The German terms of peace are likely to
DO more oppressive the longer the French
hold out
1t is reported Counsel of War at
Versailles has decided to lombard Paris.
BRUSSELS, Dec. l0--A report has been
received here that Hayre has been occu-
pied by the Germans Great ekcitement
prevailed, and troops were arriving in

WASHINGTON dispatches represent the
President as very severe upon Senator
Schurz for his course in the Missouri
campaign, claiming that his conduct lost
the Republican party the State. Efforts
are making .o heal the breach between
these two distinguished gentlemen, but
the prospects Of their success are not
fattering There is no doubt that &hurz
has done the Republican party good
deal of damage in Missouri. and it is not
surprising that leading Republicans are
severe upon him. We believe, however,
that Schurz is good Republican, and
that his course in Missouri was not die
tated by desire to injure the party.

The annual talk has again coMWe nced
and the Income Tax is q prominent subs
iect. Of course there is proposition
to repeal it. 1t IL pretty safe se'say in q
Washington dispatch or letter that it i
under discussion, and it is always safe
to say, at any time of day or night, that
it is opposed by q gentleman ssned
SoE ner.
The tax as it now stands is very light.
People are required TO pay q per cent.
on that part Of their income exceeding
two thousand dollars year 1t will be
seen at once why this tax should be re-
pealed, because
|. 1t taxes those who have money and
are able to pay, instead Of taxing the
poor man who 10 not able to pay.

of his income.

Senator and Congressman seyenty-fve
dollars a year
4. The talking and the writing men,
the manufacturers of public opinion
nearly all pay this tax.
There are other reasons, bnt these are
enough to show that the tax is doomed if
powerful interests can obtain its repeal
1t is gratifying to know that its abolition
met with strong opposition last session,
and we believe that the backbone shown
by Senators and Representatives has not
softened into gristle since that time. The
law sheuld be allowed to stand until it
expires by its own limitation, in June,
2S12 We must raise money by taxing
somebody and until the debt is funded
and our financial affairs are in a more
satisfactory condition than at present, we
submit that this method of taxation should
not be abandoned 1t would be infinitely
better to devise ways to reduce the
amount to be paid out yearly, than to re-
peal laws framed to raise the funds nec-
essary to pay interest and settle our
debt.-State Joa4naL
