INCOME TAX RETAINED, BUT
MODIFIED.

We are pleased to inform our
readers that the United States Sen
ate, at its evening Session, on the
1st inst. reversed its recent actions
in regard to the Income Tax. The
tax is reduced to p per cent. and
we believe the House will stand by
it. This action has raised terrible
howl among the organs of city
aristocracy and we say. let them
howl.
We are in favor of imposing the
tax upon the shoulders of those who
are most able to pay it. A modifi
cation that would increase the ex
emption to twelve hundred, would
probably be better, but one thous-
and dollars, which is the amount
now exempted by law, ought to
keep an ordinary family tolorably
we'll
1t $ announced that the income
OF A. L. Stewart last year was 81,
42O. coo. w. B. Astor had 81 1,273,
600, II. T. Helmbold, $1S2 900, and
Cornelius Vanderbilt, $4,000. Now
we have no doubt that each of
these millionaires would be de-
lighted to have the Income Tax
abolished, and they would thank
Thurman, Casserly, Sumner and
others,if the object could be accom-
plished. The masses of the eople,
however, will approve the course of
the minority.
Below we give the proceedings in
the Senate on this subject and we
desire our readers to take particular
notice Of the yeas and nays on the
final vote:
Mr.. EDMUNDS moved recon
sideratiOn of the vote striking out
tile income tax, remarking that by
the showing by the chairman of the
Finance Committee, the country
must have either the income tax or
the tax on receipts to make up the
required revenue.
Mr.. ANTHONY, of r. 1. { r. took
similar ground, that the Senate was
bound to choose between these tw o
taxes
MIR. SUMNER thought there was
no occasion for either tax, and that
the Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee was inclined to follow too
far the idea of the Secretary of the
Treasury, of a speedy extinguish-
ment of the national debt.
Mr.. Edmunds' motion prevailed
20 to 25.
The income sections being again
before the Senate, Mr.. WILSON re
viewed his amendment continuing
the income tax until the end OF
1872, at the rate of 24 instead of 5
per cent.

speech making. and the President
after bowing to the crowd was per

Friday Morning, July s,
Hon. H. G. Blake.

1t was with genuine pleasure that
we read the announcement in last
weeks Medina Gazette, which We
formerly edited. that the friends of
the above gentleman are urging his
Gains as candidate for Congress.
in his District, the I4th. Although
we are not in that District, yet we
feel an interest in the contest, be-
cause The vote cast in Congress, by
the Representative of that District
or any other will effect us as
much as his immediate constituents
MIR. Blake represented the 14th Dis
trict in Copgyess during the war
with signal ability, and after the ex-
piration of his second term, entered
the army and was the idol of the
regiment which he commanded
During the last Presidential cam
paign Mr.. Blake delivered two adj
dresses IN this county and we know
that they were better received by
our people than any other dc ivered
in the county during that canvass.
In fact Mr.. Blake is one ofthe most
popular orators in Ohio. Starting
in the world penniless, homeless,
orphan boy, speaks Volumes for
his remarkable, ,indefaligable energy,
and as practical business man, we
doubt whether the 14th District,
could be favored by more efficient
Representative. Thoroughly sound
on vital questions Of the Republi
can party, honest, liberal to eXtrav-
agance to the poor, with huge
heart in his noble breast which beat
in manly sympathy for the masses
of his fellowmen, he is indeed worthy
of the highest honSrs within the
gift of the very intelligent electors
Of his District.
We should rejoice most heartily
to hear of Mr.. Blake's nomination.
firmly believing that lie can pull
more votes than anv other man in
that District, while it could not send
q more honorable and efficient gen
tleman to the Halls of Congress S,
than Harrison G. Blake.
The Gazette thus concludes the
announcement referred to in the
beginning of this article:
Mr.. Blake is practical business
man, all able lawyer. an indefatgable
worker, popular with all classes and
parties, and Republican without
reproach. His experience in public
life, his thorough political knowl-
edge. his practical habits of business
his wide acquaintance with public
men, and more than all and above
all, his eminent ability and unswerv-
ing integrity should induce the Re
publican convention Of this District
to nominate him.

The Cleveland Herald, OF the fth
inst. gives Senator Revels the fol
lowing sound piece of advice, which
he ought carefully te read, then put
in his valiese and march forth
to his post of duty, the United
States Senate.
We beg to hint that it would be
far more becoming for the sole Sen
atorial representative Of his race, to
remain at his post, instead of per
ambulating the country on private
speculation, or for the purpose of
being lionized. If we remember.
Senator Revels, early in his Sena-
torial service, declined-Sumner-
like--to receive anv cards durir q
the sessions of the Senate, that his
time might be devoted to his duties
Now on the very heel of the session,
when the most important measures
are under consideration, and votes
are very close. the sable Senator is
showing himself off at so much a
head. The Senator Is not remarka.
ble, in person or in ability. He is
below the average of those of his
race prominently before the coun-
try. There are black men Of abili-
tv equal to his in every county in
Ohio. and therefore an exhibition
of himself as 4 rare specimen is in
no way necessary The best thing
he can do for his race. is to demon
strate that colored man can make
a good Senltor-and travelling the
country during the session is not the
way to do it.
