iect of "Taxes and National Faith" says:
"THE NETWORK TRIBUNE arraigns by name the sena-
who voted for continuing the income tax andcharges
that they seek TO impose this Odious impost by a
breach of national faith upon indignant people, We
have advocated the extinction Of the income tax be-
cause it Is unfair, and because we have more than
doubted its consttutonaty but when it comes to be
charged that its continuance is breach Of national
faith have to inquire If the pledge that this tax
should continue only during the ever expressed
implied plainly than the pledge that the extraor
binary Of duty added TO the tariff during the war
should continue no longer than during the necessi
ties"
The law imposing the Income Tax provided
that it should be levied "until 1870, and no lon
GER" and Congress has voted to renew and con-
tinue it beyond that period. VIII The Gazette be
good enough to point out any such provision
or pledge in regard to the Tariff act of which it
complains 7

The Yachts which engaged in the Ocean
race are due having been out sixteen days.
and may now be expected at any moment
Daily hundreds of persons visit Sandy Hook
in the expectation of seeing the victor arrive;
and the flags which are to announce the re-
suit of the conflict are looked for on the City
Hail from every passing car, and stage, and
carriage. The race is one of skill in seaman
ship, and excites for this reason agreater and
more absorbing interest than if merely a trial
of speed of sailing craft.

The gold spectators, in doubling the gold
premium during the last few days, have been
carrying matters dangerously high. Their
greatest successes have been made on candrdS,
which The London Post now says originated
with the BOurse spectators in Paris. Thus,
the Paris canard about the invasion of France
by Prussian troops sent gold up here five per
cent. When it fell off point or two, we had
the candrd about battle between the two
armies at Thionville, which again shot gold up
four or five per cent. When again it fell off
point or two, we had the cdnard that Russia
was about to plunge into the conflict, which
once more sent gold up five or six per cent.
Yet other candrds were brought to the
assistance of the spectators, enabling
them to cheat all around the Board, and
to run the price of gold up from 112 to 1914.
Our bonds, as well as the general stock list,
have fluctuated simultaneously with gold, and
the securities of Europe, as well as of America,
have been sent up OF down. So far ut least as
the gold speculation in this market is con-
cerned, there is always an opportunity for the
profitable employment of oanards, especially in
a time of war. They cannot be too absurd in
their nature; they cannot be too huge in their
proportions. If one after another is brought
down, it is not till they have served their day,
and new ones are Matched. We see no way of
putting an end to this sort of thing; but if
those interested parties who are possessed of
sufficient intelligence to understand the dis
patches will read them, and deal with them
critically, they can frequently save themselves
from danger and loss.

We have already given, in advance of all
contemporaries, a full alphabetical statement
of the duties and rates of taxation under the
new Tax and Tariff bills, transmitted to us by
telegraph from Washington on the night of
their passage. The various duties on iron and
steel in their several forms were, however,
there summarily presented. We give them
to-day in full and add to the statement a list
of the articles which paid duty under the old
Tariff and are now admitted free.

ering his literary and journalistic associations
in Paris, and assuming public career IN a
country which, though he admired it pobh-
cally, was to him new and strange. In CORE
spending with one or two of his intimate
friends here, he inquired closely about matters
of life and experience and felt gratifed at
receiving assurances of welcome and the OPP
portunity of success. On arriving here few
days ago, he was not only startled to learn
that France had plunged into war, but he was

Mayor Hall has improved upon the proverbl-
ally proyident feat of killing two birds with
one stone, and bagged vast deal OF game
with a single device. BY merely creating a
Bureau for the Enforcement of Corporation
Ordinances, he has made fat berth for the
brother of Tammany judge, remanded twenty
policemen to the special services of the Sa-
chems, afforded Mr.. Tweed pretext for TAX
ing a large number of men into public pay as
a preparative for the Fall election; and last,
but by no means least, has prepared an inn
mense printing job for spreading the homilies
of the Mayor before the police at price
which makes his wisdom dear. Hereto
fore, notices of violations OF the ordl-
nances reached the proper authorities
written on common foolscap paper and
were found TO answer the purpose; but with
the retrenchment era which supervened upon
Democratic control of the last Legislature,
the Mayor prints tens of thousands OF blanks
with his homilies upon the back at the cost OF
the city and to the profit of Tammany. 1t
may be that these paper pellets of the Mayor
will mend our ways, but we do MT expect IL
All this preparation means that Tammany IN

There is always coming up from Alamance
County North Carolina, cry of outrage,
threat of trouble, or demand for martial law.
The latest story is one of having too much mar
tial law, and redress is demanded by the with
drawal of the militia. After each outcry there
is stiffness for several months, as if the evil
doors had been frightened away; but the cry
is morally certain to be soon repeated in one or
other of its varied forms. What can be the
mysterious motive for the periodical outbursts
of indignation we are at a loss to understand

christnac.

Tho "whirligig of time" again rolls
round this season Of joy and festivity,
which takes precedence Of all the fcasts
Of the year. In the contemplation Of
the great event it commentaries, we
rejoice, aud adore the Giver of all good,
That he has ever made us the objects of
his special care and his unfailiDg love.
Our hearts well up in thankfulness for
the rich aud abundant provision He has
made for ourspirttual and temporal good.
Our affections flow out afresh towards
the dear ones aronnds us; the long sun
dcred household band is again reunited;
we kiss with renewed tervor the lips of
our kindred; We grasp with increased
cordiality the hand of friendship; aud
we caress with more fondness the little
ones that Chamber upon our knees, aud
gaze into our eyes with depth of affec.
ition even more profound, on account of
the hallowed associations which cluster
around the joyous occasion. Those of
us who have reached our prime, or who
are falling into the "sere aud yellow
leaf" renew our youth. We go back
in memory to the days Of Childhood We
join once more the family group around
the blazing hearth; We hear again the
voices Of an honored father and mother,
aud the merry laugh Of brothers and
sisters 10 the falIness of their innocent
levity, and we well remember the rich
array Of cakes, comfits, and other good
cheer, which signalized the day above
all the days of the year. OBJ ever
hallowed be the day, aud many returns
Of it, to all our readers.

Our Shipping Interests.


The languishing condition Of Ameri-
can commerce demands the earnest at
teution Of our statesmen. Before the
war our country could boast the largest
commercial marine 10 the world. Dur.
ing the war 764,G52 tons of shipping
were sold to foreigners and about 1870.
600 tons were captured and destroyed
by the Alabama. Florida, and other
Confederate cruisers, making an aggre-
gate loss to American commerce Of
9l4,652 tons of shipping. Our tariff
upon every article that enters into the
construction Of a ship is SO high that
our own enterprising ship builders can.
not build new boats with profit, aud our
absurd navigation laws will not permit
our shippers to buy vessels constructed
abroad. The consequence is, that the
immense carrying trade of this country
is done almost entirely in foreign bot.
toms. Let the navigation laws be re-
pealcd, and our ruinous tariff so modified
that our skillful mechanics may again
find employment in our ship yards, and
our merchants and ship builders placed
on au equality with those of other
nations.

Congress is not likely TO 60 down to
history with commendable reputation
for good morals, Two Of its members
have been expelled for selling eadteships,
one resigned to escape expulsion, three
or four others get off oaly by the hard
swearing of their accompliccs, one has
convicted himself of attempting to pro
cure counterfeit money to pass among

him; and when il was attempted to
make him the victim Of a wicked con
spiracy by which j. was hoped he might

But his official career was ever an enig.

We could not accord to him anything

Of Andrew johnson. OF one thing,
however, We feel well assured, aud that
is, that whatever we're his shortcomings,
it will be the judgment of mankind,
that the present incumbent is not
worthy to uuloose the latchets of his
