The Income Tax Law Repealed.

There is serious Misrepresentation in the
public mind in relation to the income tax. Petit
tions are being sent to Washington for the repeal
Of the law. 1t should be distinctly understood
that the Income Tax law was repealed by limi-
tation on the 3lst day Of December, 1869.
The tax now being assessed is for the year 1869.
After II is paid no other income tax can be
collected or assessed without the enactment Of
an entirely new law, which is not likely to
be brought about. The repeal Of the old
law is final and unconditional 1t takes
effect as soon az the tax for 1869 is paid.
A bill passed the House under the previous
question gag rule few days ago, provid-
ing for the assessment and collection Of on
income tax for one year only (lS7o), but it
met with disastrous defeat in the Senate.
It is not at all likely that Congress will put
such needless burden upon the people again
in face Of the unanimous protest of the
entire press Of the country The occasion that
called for it has passed away forever. Let us
have no more income tax laws.

TIE SENATE is jubilant over the decline in
gold, and seems disposed to wipe out the
premium and bring it to par at one dash.
II was proposed yesterday to authorize the
Secretary Of the Treasury TO sell his surplus
gold and to admit all payments Of import
duties to be made half in legal tenders. The
propositions should be well weighed before
they are adopted Onr finances are now con-
valescing after their ltful fever Of many years,
and it would probably be as well to let them
resume their old health and spirits naturally
without the administering of any powerful
etimulants.

Tho GeorRia Bill.

The bold Butler has been in turn defeated
on the Georgia bill by Mr. Bingham, whom he
defeated on the Virginia bill. Mr.. Bingham's
amendment to Mr.. Buffers bill to admit
Georgia was carried in the House yesterday
over Buffers head The amendment cut out
all Buffers pet projects for keeping Governor
Bullock and his friends in Office, and left them
only the alternative of vacating or being
reelected at the just expiration of their terms
two years hence. Bullock was lobbying for
votes all through the proceedings, but with the
cadetship Investigations before their eyes the
members were wary Of his honeyed words.
The amendment was accepted and the
bill passed, and Bullock, severely gored,
passed out OF the House q sadder
man. 1t has at last become evident
to the House, as it became evident some time
ago to the Senate, that reconstruction has
gone the length of its tether. There must be
some point at which the tenure Of the read
mitted States in the Union is assured. They
cannot be admitted and elected at pleasure,
and, as all but Texas have now been ad-
mitted, the radical reconstructiOnists have no
alternative but to receive them in good faith
and fellowship. 1t is to be hoped that this
decision in the Georgia case will settle at once
the projected raid on the State of Tennessee,
which radical malconteuts in both hou ses are
organizing. Mr.. Butler in the committee,
while hearing evidence on the latter case,
stated that If affairs were as bad in Massachu-
setts as they are in Tennessee he would favor
Congressional interference in his own State,
and had no doubt it would be constitutionally
correct. The objections to Tennessee are
that unqualified persons vote and hold Office
there, and that number of murders are COM
mtted. Cannot the same thing be said of
Massachusetts?

THE NEWS FROM RUssrA.-By special tels-
gram from st. Petersburg, and through tho
Atlantic cable, we report the continued honor
which is being paid by the Gear Of Russia to
Mrs. Burlingame in her widowhood. The re-
mains of the deceased statesman and diplomat
will be embarked for America by the 9th Of
April. Our special correspondence by mail
from st. Petersburg reports the honor which
Mr.. Burlingame received at the Russian Court
when living. During one Of those happy in
terviews the Gear Alexander expressed wish
to see President Grant in Europe, and referred
particularly to the expected visit Of the Grand
Duke Alexis to America.

TIE SEAMEN in port are on strike against
number of lines which have reduced their
wages about ten dollars o month, ostensibly
on account of the decline In gold. This is q
heavy reduction, considering the fact that
there is no reduction at oil in seamen's ex-
penses--no decline in the prices of bread or
clothing.

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. s.--The sharp old cod
gers Of the New York Chamber Of Commerce
hold to it that business is business, and they
don't mind doing little stroke outside OF
business hours every now and then. Their
last is the presentation of resolution to Con-
gress setting forth that the government, in
their opinion, ought not to 60 into the business
Of telegiaphidg and thereby break up the
Western Union monopoly, of which many OF
these sharp old codpers are stockholders.

TREASURY TOWELS. extent to which
the United States Treasury seems to need
towelling is something appalling. Mr. Bout
well has just sent to the House Of Representa-
tives statement of the incidental expenses of
his department, with grand total Of fifty nine
thousand dollars. Nearly every conceivable
article figures in some item, from flower pots
to fans and alpaca braid; but the great item
Of constant recurrence is that Of washing
towels. This hint Of cleanliness not only
occurs on every page, but in every second or
third line. 1t is the monotonous echo to
everything. II will give the people satisfy
ing idea Of the flthiness Of the national lucre
to hear that this towel washing for one year
amounts to the snug sum Of one thousand
eight hundred and forty-6ve dollars, and that
the number OF towels washed is upwards Of
thirty thousand-enough to give the Treasury
people one hundred clean towels every day.

ONE MORE CAsE.-The latest case Of shoot
ing in the streets Is so evidently an assault
with intent to take life that we cannot doubt
that it will be punished with the full rigor Of
the law. With good public spirit citizen
interfered where runian was abusing
woman, whereupon the rufian shot at the citi-
zen, and only his defective aim prevented mur-
der. Such fellows must work of their super
fuous spirit in the public quarries.

The Wards Island Riot.

The late unpleasantness on Wards Island
between the Commissioners Of Emigration and
their proteges, about which great deal has
been said on both sides, has led to q legisls-
tive investigation, and the developments turn
out to be rather peculiar. One commissioner
stated that the emigrants on the island might
be elevated socially, but that neither the con-
dition of the barracks nor the treatment they
receive is calculated to produce such
q desired effect. Another testified that
the Superintendent enjoys discretionary"
power in dealing with the emigrants, which is
really absolute, according to his explanation.
Again, the testimony elected facts and figures
showing that only one-half of one per cent Of
the emigrants who arrive at this port each
year are accommodated at Wards Island. The
property on Staten Island formerly held BY
the commission was sold three years since,
and the Commissioners are still compelled to
pay twelve thousand dollars per annum
interest on money borrowed nearly forty
wears since on account of it. 1t ap-
pears also that one party has done jobs
on the island to the extent Of thirty thousand
dollars worth without being under contract.
According to the evidence Of the emigrants
the management of Wards Island Is simply
outrageous. Taking the testimony all in all,
there is every reason to think that the investi-
cation by legislative committee was sadly
needed, and that the ''big plum in the pud-
ding" limited at by the members Of the COM
| mittee is not quite myth.

THE ELECTION FRAUDS IN BROOKLYN. The
persons accused Of completely in election
frauds in Brooklyn want to know the names
of the witnesses the District Attorney pro-
poses to present against them. They are not
satisfied to know these names when the trial
comes on and to confront the witnesses in
witnesses two days before the trial. What
influences they propose to bring to bear upon
these witnesses outside OF court does not
appear, but evidently il is not an influence
favorable to honest administration Of the law.
The parties seem to keep judge" and 80
they are likely to prevail.

The Radical members of the House
Judiciary committee have for some
time agreed to report bill taking the
power OF naturalization out of the hands
Of the State Courts and placing it in
the control Of the Federal Courts. 1t is
the present intention to report and pass
this measure the last of this week. The
real design Of this bill is, to restrict the
foreign vote which the Republicans
know to be very great in our cities and
generally Democratic. In other words,
they have passed various laws to en-
franchise all negroes because they are
Republicans, and now CoNKLING's natu.
radiation bill is intended to exclude as
many foreign white people as possible
because they are Democrats.

We are still without any confrma-

lance in Paris, stating that the Jews
of Roumania had been expelled, plum
dered and maltrcated and that mum

questcd Secretary FISH, however, TO en-,
dcavor to obtain some trustworthy in
formation concerning the alleged mas,
sacre, andin the meantime to doall in his
power to prevail upon the Turkish

ton. The general opinion seems to he,
that the whole report was concOcted in

shameful hoax.

No Registration.

In reply to the question of a correspon-
dent, we beg to say that there will be no
registration of voters prior to the elections
OF the 10Th inst. These elections are held
under the act OF March l, 1870, which de-
fines the qualifications OF voters as follows :
SEC. 2. Every male citizen of the United
States, of the age of twenty-one years and up
wards, not laboring under the disabilities
named in the constitution, without distinction
of race or color, or former condition, who
shall have been q resident of the State for one
year, and 10 the county in which he offers to
vote for sixty days next preceding any general
election, shall be entitled to vote; provided,
that no person, while kept in any allnshouse
or asylum, or of unsound mind, or confined in
any public prison, shall be allowed to vote.

Writing from Sedan FIVE days alter lne
capitulation, he states that for the Whole Oh
that time almost all the men OF acMahon's
army. some $4,000, and all such Of the Of
ficers as would give their parole not againtto
bear arms against the Prussians during the
present war, were left out in an open ield,Eas
wet with the heavy rains as marsh, without
the slightest covering, huddled together like
sheep in space as large as Trafalgar Square,
without an ounce OF meat, and with only one
hard biscuit per man for two days consump-
tion-two and half biscuits for the Whole five
days-and this though, as the writer says, the
Prussian troops round Sedan had two good
meat meals per diem. Many of the officers had
money enough, but "the Prussian authorities
would not allow their prisoners even to pur-
chase what they required" correspondent OF
the New York World, writing from Sedan on the
l4th inst, SAYS that at the village OF Bazeilles,
which was destroyed by the Prussians IN the
fight that preceded the capitulatlon OF Sedan.
the French troops having been driven back
from their positions outside the village, took
shelter in the houses and fired on their foes
from the windows and the roofs. The Prussian
commander, unable to dislodge them, to his
eternal infamy ordered his men to set fire
simultaneously to every house In the village.
The fire spread with almost lightning speed;
in ten minutes the whole town was wrapped
in sheets of flame, and hundreds of families
fathers, mothers and children-were roasted
to death, while the contestants, encircled with
fire, died fighting to the last.
