TAXING UNITED STATES BONDS
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

J. From the Milwaukee Sentinel
In prohibiting state, and county, and mu-
nicipal authorities, from taxing the bonds,
but laying so much prohibition on the Gen
eral Government, the right and privilege OF
the latter tax was reserved. The prohibition
was an assumption that without it the au-
thority to tax would exist. If the authority
did not exist, why should it's exercise be pro-
hibited? Do legislative bodies prohibit that
which could not be done without such pro
hibition ?-Chieago Times. IS bIey4Y 4-sd3i
That is sound Democrats doctrine, and, it, is
to be presumed that Mr.. Mitchell endorse 1t.
Nevertheless At is egregiously wrong. Itwas'
proper to lay the prohibition upon the states,
because many ofthen were known to have
adopted the wrong principle of taxing secur-
tiles, and it was known that some of them
were disposed to tax United States bonds
out OF hostility to the government. 1t was
neither necessary nor proper to lay any pro-
hihition upon the governments, because it had
never been known to do so foolish Or dishon-
est thing as to tax its own debts. The pro-
hibition was not an assumption that with
out it the authority to tax would exist" No
such authority ever existed in the states, as
the Supreme Curt decided long before our
present bonds were Issued. Tbs prohibition
was intended to quiet the apprehensions OF
purchasers who might not know that the
question had ever been decided by the courts.
TO have prohibited the government from
taking its securities would have, served no
such purpose, because no one but Copper
head ever dreamed that thu government
would think OF repudiating its Obligations by
taxing them. Every bond issued by the gov
eminent is promise to pay a stated sum
of money and a certain rate of interest; and
If the government violates that promise,
whether by a fat refusal to pay or Uy taking
the bonds, it is guilty of repud iation.

1.-THE Standard attempts 10 show that
Mr.. Blaine's decreased majority in this
District at the late election is an indica-
ton of waning popularity among his
constituents. Majorities so far as they
indicate strength, are relative not absolute.
At the late election Mr. Blaine's majority
was 1920. Mr. Perham's majority in the
State was 1875. AT no previous election
did the majority in this District bear so
large a proportion to the Gubernatorial
majority. 1t will be observed that it was
considerably more than one fourth of the
total majorities in the State. Mr. Blaine's
majority in Augusta was forty more than
the Governors, and in the District he ran
nearly two hundred ahead of the State
ticket. These are trifles, but the Standard
may rs well note them.

VXTLEAVE MAINE ?

What induces people in Maine to leave
this State and 60 into some of the western
States is riddle to intelligent persons in
other localities. A Philadelphia paper
speaks of the valuable character of Maine
people, as educated, intelligent, enter
prising, Industrious orderly and of good
habits" and then enquiries why it is that
with our vast seaboard, large rivers, lum-
Der, agriculture, and the excellent mar
kets Of Portland and Boston, our popula-
ton should 60 to Wisconsin where it is
much colder in the same latitude and far.
Their from good market. The paper re,
ferred to is .sinchned to think that it is the
result of one of those singular popular
movements that seem to be contagious
and irresistible, without people seeming
to know the reason why" 1t suggests
that the growth of our railroad system
will hare vast influence, and that il
Boston were to exhibit the same interest
in the development Of Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont that Chicago has in
Iowa and Wisconsin "the result would be
magnificent"

ORR FOREIGN POLICY.

! The Washington Chronicle says that
General Buffers scheme of adjusting the
Alabama claims by rushing into war with
England is not endorsed by President
Grant. He considers that the settlement
of that business is her task. She deliber-
ately inflicted injuries upon our commerce
and prolonged therebellion, and satisfac-
ton shouldbe as deliberately made. The
United States make no entangling ALI
ances with other powers. This is our ira
ditional policy, and this is the attitude OF
the President. He does not intend to take
advantage Of the difficulties Of a friendly
power to unwarrantably push our own
advantages as England and France did
theirs In the rebellion, but relies upon the
sense Of justice of the English Ministry
and the English masses to settle up the
only remaing cause of difference between
England and the United States.

POLITICAL.

According to the Toledo Blade Andrew
johnson is neither a Republican nor Demo
crat but simply Johnson man.
The Tallahassee Sentinel says that the re-
publicans have carried Florida. They have
the Legislature, the Senate IL to IL and the
House rs to 81, with four yet to be decided.
1t is conceded that Wells, the republican cam
didate, is elected to Congress.
For the first time in the history of Congress
negro will occupy seat in the House; j.
H. Rainey ofthe lst District of North Carolina
being elected in place of the cadetship broker,
Whittemore, resigned.
The Tribune correspondent says there is
not the slightes: probability that any effort will
be made to interfere with the position of SEN
ator Schurz on the Committees.
Letters have been received from prominent
Republicans in Alabama, claiming that the
Democrats carried the State by such frauds
as will not bear legal investigation. They
also assert that the Legislature will not be
Democratic on joint ballot. Alabama Re-
publicans now in Washington however, think
there is no doubt that the State has been lost
to the Republicans through party dissensions.
There are 10000 more colored than white
voters registered in Alabama.

SHOOTING AFFRAYIN SKO WHEGAN

~ II L.tA ".
disgraceful affair took place in Skowhe-
gin, Thanksgiving Eve. which resulted in
the committing of one of the parties to the
calaboose, and came very near lodging him
in much warmer place. Several of the
promising young men in and about the village
got together in an old building used for fish
market to rattle for turkeys. Soon dispute
arose between two Of the party-Pooler,
(French,) and Fardy, Qrish,) upon which the
latter drew pistol, and presenting it at Pool
er's breast snapped twice; but finding the
thing wouldn't go, they thought best not to
have any further trouble about it, and went
to rafting again. But presently another dis
pute arose between the same parties, and
again the pistol was presented and fired but
the shot passed through Pooler's coat sleeve,
setting it on fire, but doing no other damage.
At this stage Fardy dropped the pistol and
run for dear life, for the whole company took
after him. With the aid of few blows upon
his unprotected Uranium, he succeeded in
reaching friends house on the other side Of
the street, where he was soon after arrested
with considerable difficulty. Fardy has since
had his trial before Justice Fuller, of said
village, and bound over. 1t will prove any,
thing but a 'happy Thanksgiving for him.

CIVIL REFORM.

The agitation of the matter of better
ever may be the motives that underlie it
at this time, will do no injury, and proba-
bly, will effect some good. There are
evils in the system of appointments TO
office, handed down from former demo-
cratic administrations, which still exist
but ought to be abolished as soon as posi-
ble.s 1t is idle to suppose that corrupt, I'M
necessary, unsuitable, improper and UNI
called for appointments, do not work evil
to the persons and the party responsible
for them, however mnch they may seem
to answer temporary purpose. The
public judgment is seldom deceived in the
long run. 1t generally discriminates with
good deal of accuracy between the
growls of soured and disappointed men
and complaints founded upon right and
justice. treating the former with contempt,
but giving the latter the attention which
they deserve. The republican party has
made some progress in eliminating these
evils. 1t has not done all that might have
been done, or all it should do, but it has
improved somewhat on the practice Of the
democracy. We know that useless offices
have been abolished, and that efficiency,
honesty and economy have been promoted
by the Administration. 1t appears since
the discussion of this question was opened
more widely by the resignation of Mr..
Cox, that the Secretary of the Treasury
has obliged all the clerks in his depart
ment to stand the test of an examining
board. and that many applicants have been
sent away who could not pass a satisfac-
tory examination. This is step in the
right direction, one that will be sustained
by the people. 1t is departure from
democratic precedent, as has been every
step in the direction of reform in the civil
service. We have no doubt that the re-
publican members of Congress are entire
ly in harmony with the public sentiment
upon this question, and will enter upon
their duties strengthened to perform in
this direction whatever is practicable. A
great deal of what is said about reform is
simply stupid and the result of disap-
pointment and faction, but if the standard
of qualification shall be raised, incompe-
tency ruled out, dishonesty exposed and
punished, and the work be continued as it
has been begun, the public will be satisfied.
The idea that the republican party has not
material enough of its own with which to
fill the offices is discovery Of the demo-
Gratis, and not very valuable or worthy of
much notice coming from that source
Their standard is exemplitied by the
Tweeds, Sweenys and Hoffmans. and prov
ed by the corruption that exists in the man
agement of affairs in New York city,
where the city and county debt has run up
under democratic management to the as
tonishing sum Of more than seventy-six
millions of dollars. God save the country
from such management as prevails in New
York.
