Nv What Authority 2

A letter from st. Domingo city, published
In the Times, says that while much regret is
felt there at the failure Of the annexation
scheme, " the extension of the United States
protectorate till the LIST of July, 1871, gives
much satisfaction to the Dominicans."
6 Can any one tell us by what authority
Of law the President of the United States
presumes to establish protcctorate over
st. Domingo2 The Constitution says that
"thc President shall have power, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate, to make
treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators
present concur" But this does not give him
my right to establish protectorate over a
foreign country, or to employ the armed yes
sells Of the United States in controlling the
affairs of that country, or in defending 1t
against foreign enemies, except by virtue Of
some treaty duly ratified by vote oftwothirds
of the Senate. Anything beyond this is
usurpation, which Congress should inquire
into. If it shall be proved that the President
has assumed powers which the Constitution
does not allow, he should he impeached. and
brought TO trial for the offence.

Protest against the Income Tax.

The income tax is unconstitutional as well
rs unjust and it will certainly be set aside az
soon as the question can properly be brought
before the courts.
Therefore let every man pay this tax I'M
der protest. Those who do 80 con recover
their money back again after the law has
been annulled. Those who pay without pro-
test cannot recover 1t back The journal
of Commerce says that it will be sufficient to
make the payment in n certified check bear
ing upon its face, after the order to pay the
epeciiied amount, the words, " for income tax
paid under protest" The check itself will
prove the fact that the payment was made
under protest and it will thus enable the
party to compel the agents of the Treasury
to refund at the proper time.
As to the fact that the law is unconstitu.
tional there is no serious dispute. No in
telligent man. lawyer or layman, who has
read the mastery argument of Mr.. w. o.
BARTLETT on the subject. can entertain any
doubt about IL. When the points in the
case were presented in the Senate the other
day by Mr.. SCoTT of Pennsylvania, no advo-
cate of the law was bold enough TO reply to
him. Let every man who has to pay the
tax be sure not to do so without the necessary
protest

The public debt was diminished over sew.
cnteen millions Of dollars in the month Of July,
and the partisan press boast of the fact as mat
ter exceedingly crcditable to the present Admin
istraton. But what else could have been done
with the money except TO pay It out upon the
public debti II was in the Treasury, and must
either be applied to this use or stolen. Besides,
how is the Administration entitled to particular
credit for having so large sum Of money in the
Treasury The taxes which produced this sum
were levied before Gen. GRANT came into power,
and il is no merit Of his that they happened to
have been so much larger than there was any
need Of The truth is that it would be much
more honorable to the Republican party iii had
reduced the taxes, SO that instead of putting q
surplus Of two hundred millions year into the
Treasury, II had left that surplus in the pockets
of the people. Low taxes are more glorious to q
Government than an enormous revenue extorted
from the poor and suffering masses.

The Orange Parade.

The orangemen are to have public pro
cession through the streets tomorrow. We
presume that they will march with theh
usual banners and with music, playing the
tunes that were SO offensive ON the occasion
of the riot of July 10.
These orangemen must be protected. The
question of taste in their banners and then
music is one that may bo. discussed but
there is nothing unlawful in any part of the
demonstration that they propose and how
ever disagrceable some Of its features may
be TO excitable individuals Of different way
Of thinking, it is the duty of the authorities
TO see that the procession is not attacked
md if it is attacked, that it is effectively de
Tended.
