A "PosrULATUM for the Jews
has been presented to the Pope,
signed by over 500 Bishops, re-
questing the Gcumenical Council
to extend a "paternal invitation TO
the unfortunate people Of Israel"
that they may recognize Messiah

To this an answer is returned, in

TIE reason why the deduction
Of Ave per cent. from coupons and
dividends continues to be made,
Notwithstanding the expiration OF
the income tax, is to be found in
the peculiar wording Of the Inter
nal Revenue act. While 1t is said
that the tax on incomes shall be
collected ION or before the 3Oth
day Of June in each year, until
and including the year 1870, and
no longer" no such limitation is
contained in the sections of the
act relating to dividends and in-
terest. In those sections it is
simply said that "there shall be
levied aud collected a tax of FIVE
per centum on all dividends Of
any bank, trust company, savings
institution, and of any fire, ma
rine, life or inland insurance COM
pany, and that any railroad, canal,
turnpike, canal navigation, or
slack-water company, which has
issued bonds or other evidences Of
debt bearing interest "shall be
subject to pay q tax Of five per
centum on the amount Of such
interest, or COUPONS or dividends"
and are at the same time author
lied to deduct and withhold the
tax from the payees. As matter
ofcourse until these sections arc
amendad or repealed, the holders
Of stocks and bonds Of the class
Of companies described must sub.
NIT to the loss of FIVE per cent.
while others will be exempt. ST
long as all incomes were liable Il
tax Of five per cent. there wa
no hardship In this discrimination
but IL the income tax q not to b
maintained at the old rate, Their
viii be an injustice which Con
@ess should not omit to remedy

TAG Coal TRADE. The
Miners journal focal mOnopo-
lists organ in Pennsylvania adj
dresses a proclamation ''to the
press abroad" declaring that the
supply Of coal will be above q
million of tons more than last
year, whether the strikes continue
or not, and advising consumers
abroad not to rush into the market
and "cause q iuctuation in prices
which is not beneficial to, and
which il not desired by, the trade"
The Journal says:
Notwithstanding the suspension
in a portion Of the anthracite re-
gions, which has lasted here for
three months, the supply Of coal
this year to date, from those re-
gions, 10 9s4,910 tons ahead Of the
supply from the same regions up
to the same date last year.
At the same period last year
the supply was j25,l37 tons be.
mind that Of 1868 up to the same
date. Yet when the collieries get
to work that deficiency was moi
only made up and prices broken
down, but a surplus Of 573,137 tons
was thrown into the market
The shipments from July
Sd up to December aver
aged 100000 tons q week, ant
when all of the collieries got tt
work last year the shipments aver
aged $4,000 tons per week 70
FIVE successive weeks. And yet
with about three-fourths of tn
collieries in Schuylkill county sus
pended, and q portion in Lehigl
and Shamokin, the regions ar
Z now shipping as much per week a
the average shipments of last yea
at this time, as they averaged las
year $4,000 tons for the balance o
the season.
When the collierieS all resume
we can ship at least 4lj,0OO ton
, 4 week, and can throw into thu
market 100000 tons over anC
r above the shipments Of last year
e Should that be done it would Civ
q an increase of l,7S4,0O0 tons thi
year over last.
Even if the present collierie
= should stand idle for the rest o
this season, which is not at al
probable, as a large portion Of tn
o men are tired and DESTROYS Of 60
ing to work, there will be an in
: crease Of o million Of tons of COZ
this year. But VIC do not believ
that the men will remain idle niue
Longer, and that it will be but
short time before they will go I
IS work, as a large portion are losin
u onfdence in their leaders.

The SeuthePn Pacific RatIFOad =
Who Should Built &C.
From the Memphis Appeal.

A late number of the Appeal
contained an article, which has
been very widely copied, taken
from the Cincinnati Railroad Rec.
ord, in regard to the Southern
Pacific Railroad. While the wri.
ter of that article processes to he
in favor Of a Southern Pacific
road, is he not taking the most
effectual means to defeat Il? We
would be glad to see the Southern
Pacific road built under the auspi-
ces Of Jefferson Davis, Robert E.
Lee or Wade Hampton" or Of
NJ. E. Maury, who has been its
great advocate, but does not the
writer in the Record know that
there is no probability, not even
the slightest, that this or any fu.
ture Congress will place the South.

agement of these men, and is moi
the advocacy of that policy equiv.
alent to opposition to the road
If we secure the road through thu
Southern country, we are satisfied
for it to be built by New York Of
Boston, London or Paris, though
our individual preferences would
of course, be for such men as thos'
mentioned by the Record.

and it seems the South should be
anxious to have this road built,
aud If Northern men aid US We
should not reject their assistance.
Il is very easy to denounce men
engaged In great works as specu-
lators, but perhaps the very men
who denounce them wish to specu-
late. If General Fremont or Mr..
Stanton, If New York or Boston
eau secure the construction Of the
Southern Pacific railroad, they
will deserve the thanks Of the
South, and no doubt Jefferson
Davis, Robert E. Lee or Wade
Hampton" would bid them 60
forward in the great "work Of su-
preme practical benifcence. VI
may we'll be suspicious when
Northern writers demand more
for the South than Southern peo-
pie for themselves, and when va
find Northern writer's willing to
see the Southern Pacific road built,
under the auspices and manage
ment Of Southern men alone, We
suspect that such opponents Of
Northern opinion are not very
anxious to see it built at all. A
highway common to the Southern
States will be built from San Die
go, California, to some point IL
Texas, and thence connecting
roads will diverge to Memphis
Vicksburg, New Orleans, ant
Cairo. 1t is earnestly to be de
sired that all conflicting Southern
interests may be reconciled an'
the road placed in the hands o
men who will build it with tn
greatest speed and in the bes
manner.

SILK Raising at salt Lake city.

The culture of silkworms in
California, which has already adj
vanced from an experiment into
an established business, is ex-
tending to Utah. The Salt Lake
Herald gives q description of q
cocoonery in that place, seventy
feet long, by twenty in width, in
which there are at present 100000
worms, varying in size from 9
mere speck, to two and three
quarters inches in length. They
consume thirty bushels ofmulbery
leaves o day. AS they grow larger
they will require more. Some
fears have been entertained at one
time that the ravages ofthe grass
hoppers among the mulberry treel
would deprive the worms Of theil
accustomed food, but the grass
hoppers are now disappearing
and this danger is passed. Al
the trials made in California prov
that the worms multiply rapidly

q IN0OmE TAX.

jority Of ten not TO re enact the
income tax, and now the
New York Tribune reminds It's
readers that when this resolu-
ton was reconsidered on the 1st
inst, only three Senators were
found to have changed their
minds, viz: Messrs Abbott, An
thony aud Wilson. What else,
then, asks the Tribune, can we
call the re.enactment, in a thin
house, Of q law which has a clear
majority against 1t, but q legisla-
tive trick2 The three converts
and the five absent supporters of
the tax added together are not
enough to COunterbalance the pre-.
viOus majority against the law.
It appears that it was given out by
Mr.. Sherman, as chairman Of the
Committee on Ways aud Means,
that he considered the vote Of
discontinuance as a fnality that
he had no hope it would be
changed, and that the question
being thus decided, it was necess.
airy to make some alterations in
the revenue bills to meet the de.
fciency in receipts which, he al
legged must ensue. These declara.
tions were regarded as settling
the income tax, so tar as the
Senate was concerned. On the
1st inst, however, when the tax
tariff bill was reported to the
Senate from the Committee Of the
Whole, a separate vote was asked
on the resolutions striking out the
sections relating to the income tax,
and motion was made to continue
it two years longer at two and
a-half per cent. The motion
was rejected, But, at the evening
session, when only forty-eight
members were present, a motion
to reconsider was adopted, and
the continuance of the tax at two
and a half per cent, instead Of five
per cent, was agreed to. Wher
the resolution to strike out the in
come tax was passed BY the Sen
ate, on the oath of the last month
ffty.seven members were present
Of these, thirty.four voted for it
discontinuance. Three only o
the latter on the 1st inst, charge,
! their votes. Had, therefore, tn
opposing Senators been in thei
seats on the latter occasion, tn
tax would still have been %rejecte,
by five votes. But during th
week that had interviewed betwee

jected, aud that which rein
