Tho Radicals and the Germans.

The radical demagogues who sought
to make party capital ont of their SYM
pathy for the Germans, in the war now
going on in Europe, have involved them
selves and their party in an embarrass-
ing dilemma. AS long as the Germans
were all united in the prosecution of the
war, and the parties thereto were King
William and Louis Napoleon, it was
quite cheap and profitable display of
sympathy to hurrah for the German side.
But now, since the downfall of Napoleon
and the organization Of republic, and
its recognition by President Grant, the
issue becomes apparently one between
King invading and a republic defending
it's people, and the radicals find their
position quite difficult one. They are
between the Soylla of offending the Ger
mans and the Charybdis Of placing
themselves in antagonism with repub-
lie, and in favor of tho strongest and
most absolute monarch "by tho grace of
God" in Europe. How can they run
with King William and hold with the
French Republic? Several of tho New
York journals of the radical persuasion
have essayed to extricate themselves
from this perplexity, by tentatively su2-
costing that tho German people would
not justify King Williom in prosecuting
the war against tho French Republic and
people. But the Teuton response is not
encouraging. Meetings have been held
in New York by the Germans, ut which
they declare that they will approve and
support tho war as ardently against the
people of Franco MS they did when it
was waged against Louis Napoleon. They
will not be blarneycd away from their
original position, but stick to King Will
liam. With them, it is war of race
against race Even tho old Kings rcfu-
sui to treat with the Republic, and his
offer to accept and consider propositions
from the Emperor and the Regency, ap-
pear to have the approval OF his German
followers. They announced at tho begin
ming that the war was against the ruler
who provoked it, and not against the poo
pie of France. Yet, when that ruler is n
captive. they propose to reinstate him or
his dynasty, and to treat with one or the
other for peace. This, at least, is the
last version of King Williams position.
Wo trust it is an erroneous one, how
muchsoevor we should rejoice over the
embarrassments it would bring upon the
radical demagogues who have so dishon-
estly sought, by false pretences, to ap-
propriate German votes and influence in
our political contests, by hollow profess
sions and demagogical demonstrations.

A TRAGEDY IN INDIANA-PRoBABLE
DOUBLE MURDER AND SUIC1DE.-A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
writing from Indianapolis, 18th instant,
says:
1t seems that young man named
Long in other days had paid his ad-
dresses to Miss Winship, the daughter
OF Mr.. Jesse Winship, who lives on a
farm near the village of Nlilroy. He
had made proposals of marriage. but was
rejected through the influence of the
mother. The daughter subsequently
married Mr.. Jackman, and the newly
married couple were living in the neigh
borhood. On last Friday night Long
came to the residence of Jnckman, and
giving u false name, wanted adnlittance.
The family, fearing there was no good
will in his request, refused his entrance.
Finding that he was determined to break
in, Jackman and his wife ran over to
MIR. Rice's, near by. Rice and Jnckman
then returned to Jackmnn's residence,
and seeing no one, entered the house and
got down rifle, which they began to
load, when Long rushed in on them with
II revolver, and firing, shot Jackman
through the arm. Then turning to Rice
he said: "You are Jackman's friend, are
You? l will kill you" He fred,
and shot Rice through the neck, and
seeing him fall, he then escaped. but his
devilish work was not yet done. He
went over to jesse Winship's, and rous-
ing up tho family he shot Mrs. Winship,
and then left. Going home to his
fathers, he told them what he had done,
and then turning his revolver to his
head, ho blew out his own brains. 1t
was thought very doubtful whether Mrs.
Winship or Rice would survive. The
whole country is wild with excitement,
and hundreds are running to see the
wounded and learn the particulars of
the terrible affair. Tho families are all
Of tho first respcctability, and the Win
ship family is among the wealthicst in
the County.

The Republicans of Illinois refuse to
work quietly in the party traces on the
tariff question. They have, in convcn-
ton assembled, passed resolution de-
olaring that Congress has no right to
impose taxes ''except for tho mninto-
nance of the Government, the payment
Of its debts. and the promotion of the
general welfarc;" and that it is wrong
full and oppressive" to "enact revenue
laws for the special advantage of one
branch of business Mt the expense Of
another" This looks as if the people
OF the West were coming to their senses.

SIR: Capt. F. W. Dawson and others
of the Union Reform Party have spoken
to me on the subject of the ensuing
election in this State, setting forth their
desire to have joint committees appoint
ed for each polling precinct throughout
tho State, say two from each party,
whose duty it will be to see that fair play
is had at the polls and in the canvassing
of the votes, to which I heartily agree
Mr.. Oartlozo, Mr.. Mackey and Mr.. Nash,
of the Republican Executive Committee,
to whom I have spoken, concur.
OF course it will be matter for tho
decision of tho County canvassers, as to
whether or not these committees will be,
as such, permitted to witness inquisito-
rally the canvassing of the votes. In
my judgment the plan ought to recon-
mend itself to both parties. In any
case shall do what I can in this and
every other way legitimately to secure q
fair election. Though candidate my
self, should spurn from me the thought
of occupying an Office that has been Sc
cured by fraud or violence.
do not think that the Reform party
need fear, whether this plan is adopted
or not that the Republican party intend
to elect its candidates by any other than
fair and legitimate means.

take pleasure in acknowledging the com
munication of the 22d inst, addressed
to Major z. w. Seibels, the Secretary of
the Committee. communicating the
assent of the Executive Committee of
the Republican Party, to the appoint
mcnt of joint committee of two per-
sons from each party, nt each polling
precinct in the State, "to see that fair
play is had ut the polls and in the can
vassing of the votes," at the ensuing
election.
Though, as you suggest, the proposed
arrangement might not be acceded to by
the Managers and Commissioners, yet
the plan is 80 just, and so admirably
calculated to allay tho apprehensions of
the people, already so greatly excited,
and to satisfy oil of the fairness of the
election, that it is scarcely to be expect
ed that any will refuse their accord with
the very commendable views contained
in your letter.
In the present temper of the people,
it is not only necessary that the cleo
tions should be fairly conducted, but
that oil should know that they had been
SO conducted.
We therefore willingly agree to your
proposition, and will take proper mea-
sures to carry it into operation on our
part. l am, sir, respectfully, &C..

The Income Tax.

The system Of taxation IN this coun
tfy, as : general thing, falls heaviest uf on
the laboring Glasses and those Who are
the least able to pay II is so with i'm
port tariffs, which are placed so high ,ha,
Eastern manufactures can place whatever
price they wish upon their productions,
thus imposing upon the consumers, fear
less Of foreign competition. + A large ma
jority OF the consumers arc laboriug peo
pie. The effect Of the income tax is
equally unjust. 1t cxcmpts one thou
sand dollars from taxation each year; on
all over that tax of FIVE per cent. must
be paid to the government. IL matosss
not whether this overplus is the earni iegs
Of labor or the successful spcculations Of
capital, |. is taxed and any ono cen see
at a glance that the man who makes all
his money by l,bor cannot as well afford
10 pay this tax as the man who has money
to invest in speculations. II, as the
Ohio Statesman says, the law could be 30
amended as to make distinction between
the earnings of Tabor and the earnings Of
capital. then the law would be less repre-.
hcnsiblc.
The exempt une thousand is barely
enough to support shc families OF large
number Of the laborint men Of the eoun.
try, and yet Of every dollar that they by
exertion earn over that amount, five per
cent must go to the government. This
is certainly discouraging; but the bond
holder who has bis thousands invested in
bonds bearing gold interest, upon which
taere is no oUuneys State or government
tax, can ve.y veil afford to pay back to
the government Ave cents for every gold
dollar he receives as interest on his bonds.
,f the law can be so amended as to make
a just distinction between capital and la.
boz, it might do to let is stand otherwise
it should be repealed.
The NV York Day Book says that Of
the 272,s43 individuals who pay this
tax, l07 OeO pay less tnsa twenty dollars.
Those who pay between twenty and City
number 10000. The heavier patrons,
reaching between fifty and one hundred,
foot up al 900, and those who pay over
two hun red dollars arc less than 10000.
Now, if the income law ~cre repealed,
and 8 reasonable tax placed upon bonds,
is would be more just aud the govern.
ment would not be loser. 1t is useless to
talk Of the possibility of such lus,
however, while we have go corrupt o
Congress and SO many capitalists to bribe
the members.
