This innocentlooking proviso is intend
ed to cover telegraph teire. The present
tax on telegrnph wiro is IS per cent, and
the cost abroad is cents per pound. The
committee propose to increase it to Q
cents per pound and u per cent Cd rdlo-
rem. The difference in the ta1 will be
seen BY comparison: 1000 pounds wire,
costing $40, at S. per cent 1nates = ta1 of
9l4. The same wire, at the same cost, will, il
this amendment be adopted, pay tar Of
S26, or ut the rata Of G5 per cant. The tax
is nearly doubled. And for what urpose
is this increase Of tsx7 Not for revenue,
because tho tai isprohibitory. The truth
is, this .wire is made exclusively by one
manufacturer, who has grown rich BY the
monopoly. The proposition is simply to
enable him TO demand and receive 424
per ton Of 600 pounds On his wise, in
addition TO his present prices.

The Chicago Times has pub1ishedseEeral

City Railway Company, referring myate1i-
ously in one instance to the ninety-nine-
year bill, which The Times itaeH advocated
whan it waa before the Legislatute..
The Iimet canuot be ignorant Of the
fact that Judge Ae1llister, and not Afr.
Hitchcock, was the attorney of the South
and West Division Railways when that bill
was passed. In point Of fact, Judge
McAllister drew the original act Of
incorporation Of the city rail8ays
and all the an,cndatozy acts,
including the ninety-nine-Jear bill, and also
al the city ordinances relating to hozsa- rail-
ways that are now in force, with, perhaps,
one exception, which ordinances ars aB full

The spectacle Of the President of the
United 6tatea promising the Secretary Of
State of San Domingo, privately, to use all
bis influence over the United States Senate
to secure certain measure, Is new and
peculiar one. It was regarded 81 one of
the strong points OF General Grant as q
candidate, that he made no promises and
would tramme1 himself By no pledges to
the people of the United States a. to tho
course he would pu,spe. And get, while
the dignity of the candidate scared far
above the wishes Of the people
whose yotee were to elect him, the
urbanity Of the President permits
him to tie up his official conduct by
pledges to the unknown Secretary Of Nj.
Baez, in such mnnner as to give that
individual the power 10 charge him
with dishonor if he should find change
of policy in the San Domingo matter
necessary The President Of the United
States, in his individual capacity, is not a
treaty-making power. Charles the Second

who ventured to enter into private bargains
with other uoyers which were kent secret
from Parliament and the nation. Natu~

agreements. But, whether he did OF not
was Of email consequence to the welfare of
