featuring interest that needs or has

debt and the taxes, are intimately
connected with each other and
ought to be considered together land

debt refunded at lower rates of in

on revenue principles and the price

that less volume of currency will

TAXES.

A Washington special to the Gin
ciunati Gazette of the 22d, says:
The Tax bill is slowly going
through the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Members are so reticent
about their doings that it is almost
impossible to ascertain the details
of their labors. Tney are some
what embarrassed by the conflict Of
opinion between the President and
the Secretary of the Treasury. The
latter is still holding that it is not
advisable to make much reduction,
while the former is for reduction
of twenty five or thirty millions of
dollars. The committee is with the
President however, and it is certain
that the amendments they will pro-
pose look to a relief Of industry
They will advise number of chang
es in the administrative portions Of
the existing law suggested by the
experience of the last year to the
end that the burden of taxation may
be more equally distributed, and the
schemes of rogues more certainl ly
defeated. They favor abatement
rather than reduction of rates, and
are pretty certain to recommend the
removal of all taxes on watche;,sil- :
yer plate, pianos, carriages. and bill
lard tables, being the whole range
of articles in what is known as
schedule "a" They are also like
ly to advise the removal Of the
whole Or greater part of what are
called taxes Oh transportations, viz :
On tue gross receipts of railroads,
stages, steamboats,, canals, ferries,
ships. DC, and may, perhaps, rec
ommend the abatement of those on
express and telegraph companies
The license tax on dealers in, and
manufacturers of tobacco and spir-
its, will probably be retained, as
will also the special tax on banks
and bankers. Most Of the other
special and license taxes are to be
removed. The committee has not
yet decided what to do about the
income tax, but the talk of members
points to reduction Of the rate to
three per cent, with an increase,
possibly, in exemptions. 1t will be
seen, on examination, that this work
is mostly in the line of the recon
mendations made by Special Com
missioner Wells. The bill is not
coming up fol- two or thee weeks,

Good Words Well Said.

I Curing the debate in the House
of Representative on the Georgia
bill, Mr. Eldridg, of Wis probably
the ables Democratic member on the
flo or, interrupted Mr.. Lawrence, of
the Bellefontain district, Ohio, by
saying. 81
My friend will allow me to give
him my opinion upon this question.
l believe it is solely and exclusively
party question, and thst the only
reason for reconstructing Georgia
is because she did not send repub-
lican majority Of Representatives to
this House, and because she is a
Democratic state.
Mr.. Lawrence-Wcll Mr. Speaker, l
have endeavorcd to act upon this
subject as npon all others, according
to my convictions of duty, irrespec-
tive of party poll tics; but if ] Ell
at all upon a question of this sort
shall go with the Republican
party and cast my fortune with it.
The Republican party has done
more for tho people of this country
than any political party that ever
lived in 1t, save only that glorious
old party which organized and
| founded the Republic. 1t was the
Republican party that took poses
sion of the Government Of this coun-
try with a bankrupt Treasury and a
fullgrown Democratic rebellion on
it's hands; and by the grace of God
and the power and virtue of the peo-
pie it suppressed that rebellion. 1t
abolished slavery throughout the
length and breath OF the Republic.
and at last it has done an act APP
proved by God and man, by confer
ring universal suffrage upon all
male adult citizens within the limits
of our broad Republic. 1t has done
more for the intcrsts of humanity
aud of man than any and all parties
iu this or auy other Government in
the history Of the world.
Mr.. Eldridgc-If the gentleman
| will tell me how he can pay the deb
which the Republican party has i'm
posed upon this country, and not
have another bankrupt treasury
shall be very glad to hear from him
on that point.
Mr.. Lawrencc-I have no doubt
that the gentleman needs to be en-
iightened land when get the fioorl
shall make a speech on that very
question, and inform the gentleman
how we can pay the debt caused by
the Democratic rebellion.
Mr. Eldridge--I though the gen
| tleman had the floor
Mr.. Lawrance-I have not the
flour to make a financial speech but
will say that we would pay the
debt in part py revenue raised from
tax on whisky, and make the Dem
ocratic party contribute their share
in that way. Laughter and applause

For Instance.

A very significant election has
juAt tax, place in Morgan County,
Missouri A vote was to be taken
on the question of granting aid to a
new railroad, and all tax-payers
were ordered out to take part in the
vote. Among the taxpayers were
some thirty negroes; and, though
colored mon had never voted in
Missouri before, It was deemed
proper time for beginning. To
this the Democrats, who were unan-
imously opposed to the railroad,
agreed sll the more willingly in that
they were confident of being able to
persuade the negroes to vote on
their side. The usual argument was
used that the building Of the rail
road would bring to the country n
gang of Irishm en- to monopolize the
labor Of the negroes. On the night
before the election, however, the
cOlored voters met at the court
house, talked the matter over, and
concluded that the railroad was ac-
tually needed, and the next day vot
ed to man in favor of the enter
prise. Here, it seems to us, is a
perfect epitome of the whole ques-
ton Of negro voting. The freed
man knows the value of his ballot,
and he will cast it carefully and ju
diciously. Democracy may fatter
itself that by an obsequious pre-
tense of interest in the negro it can
secure political influence and sup
port. So, too, the planters Of the
south were fond of believing that
THEIR negroes would never shoul-
der musket and fight against their
masters, but my nigeers," every
slave owner was fond Of asserting.
know too wei! who their best
friend is" Notwithstanding all this,
It will be remember the negroes
fought bravely and gladly. The
wrongs of long life time could not
be forgotten in moment, nor has
the freedman e'er yet in any well
authenticated instance failed to re
member to which side in the strug-
gle his fealty belongs. Like the
Democrats OF Morgan county, Mis-
souri,, the party of Seymour and
Fallandigi,am may fancy they can
lead the newly enfranchiscd voters
within their own lines, bat when
the votes are cast and counted it
will be found that the new citizen
thinks for himself and votes accord
ingly.-T Cleveland Leader.

THE FREEDMEE'S BUREAU.

The lower branch of Congress did wise
ly in passing the bill polishing the Freed
mems Bureau and establishing a Bureau Of
Education. This measure seems to US an
eminently Just and proper one, in view of
the important work which the Bureau of
Education is expected to accomplish
Good school systems are to be organized
in those States where none worthy OF the
name at present exist, and the various
buildings and school paraphernaia of the
Freedmen's Bureau in those States. if
turned over to the Bureau of Education,
will be of inestimable service in inaugu rat
ing the good work, The main operations
of the Bureau of Education will, doubt
less, be confined to the Southern States,
where the field for educational reconstruc-
ton, if not inviting In one sense, is at
least ample.
Congress and the country can not expect
results from the bureau if it is shorn of its
legitimate agencies for promoting the
cause Ol SuuSutlou. VIC ShCiCAoAS AOPo
that the Senate will speedily take up and
pass the bill already passed by the House.
Sound political reconstruction can only be
brought about by educational means. The
President is fully alive to this fact, and OF
so much Importance does he regard popu-
lar education that, in his late message to
Congress on the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment, he referred to The subject in
the following terms;
would, therefore, cali upon Congress to
| take all the means within their constitution
al powers to promote and encourage popu-
| lar education throughout the country; and
upon the people everywhere to see to il
that all who possess and exercise political
rights shall have the opportunity to acquire
the knowledge which viii make their share
in the government blessing, ana not q
danger. By such means only can the bene-
| ITS contem plated by this amendment to The
constitution be secured.
