50 much of life behind me lies,

Than all fleet symbols faster;
With fortune gay, scarce quicker gone,
Than gloomng with disaster.
II is not that my life has brought
OF its youth dreams fruition;
Is warp, alas is thick inwrought
with crossings of ambition.
Not that my days have all been good

DELANO BEARD FROM.

Hon. COLUMBUS DELANo Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, has addressed to the asses
sors and collectors under his order diplo-
matically y-worded circular, which informs
them that he, the said Delano, has been much
misrepresented with regard to certain deci-
sions that have emanated from the Bureau of
Internal Revenue and furthermore that the
people Of the United States do not show that
entire willingness to submit to taxation that
he, the aforesaid Columbus, would like to
see. In fact, according to Mr.. Delano, there
is very strong disposition to kick against
the pricks, and general unwillingness to pay
internal revenue, and especially income
taxes. This unwillingness manifests itself
occasionally in strong desire to punch the
head of some assessor or collector whose bear
ing may not be as deferential as the average
American citizen considers he has right to
expect. The main purport of Mr.. Deanos
circular therefore is to instruct his assessors
and collectors that politeness and gentlemanly
manners are among the first requisites in
public officers who are entrusted with the
duty of enforcing an unpopular but necessary
excise law. Few persons who have had deal
ings with the class of officials named will dis
pute the fact that some such admonition as
this was needed badly, for while every good
citizen is bound to make true and correct re-
turns to the Internal Revenue Bureau, and to
pay his taxes promptly, there is no law that
obliges him to submit to insolence or boor-
ishness from the officials of the Government.
In this city taxpayers have just cause for
complaint, not only on account of the
impoliteness of the assessors, but on ac-
count of the inconvenient hours during
which they keep their offices open for the
transaction of business. Most of them only
and l p. NJ, and business men who are en-
gagged during the day in a different section of
the city from that in which the assessors
Office of their district is situated are subjected
to great and entirely unnecessary inconveni-
ence, especially in making their income re-
turns. This is a matter that is quite as impor-
tant as those alluded to by Mr.. Delano in his
circular, and if he can compel the agents of
his bureau to manage their affairs in this
respect with little more regard for the con
venience of the taxpayers, he will confer
benefit for which they will be truly grateful,
and he will save the assessors and collectors
from having their susceptibilities injured by
much bad language that is freely used at times
against them by irate individuals who have to
lose valuable time for the purpose of making
their returns, and who think that their con-
venience ought to be in some degree con-
suited.

could be found. A search for him was ac-
cordingly made, and it was discovered that
he had concluded to forfeit his bail by leaving
the city rather than to stand the chances OF a
trial We understand that Ficken left quietly
for Europe two days after he was
bailed, contingency that was not unforeseen
at the time bail was accepted, and this ought
to have caused his movements to be watched.
As Ficken is wealthy he can well afford to
refund the amount of his bail to his partner,
Williams, who was his surety, and think him
self well rid of bad job, but it is certainly
a matter for regret that he should have
been permitted to defy justice
in this manner, and we hope sincerely
that if it is possible to bring him back under
any extradition treaty, and punish him for
his crime to the full extent of the law,
no pains will be spared by the authorities to
have justice done. 1t was feared from the
first that Ficken would be able to escape
punishment because of his wealth, and
although perhaps the Court and the District
Attorney can scarcely be blamed in the mat
ter, it is great scandal that he should have
been permitted to leave as he did.

TILE .AFRLCAN AGAIN.

The Fifteenth Amendment has been pro-
claimed as the law of the land, and in the
eyes of the law a colored man is as good as q
white man if he behaves himself. 1t was
fondly hoped by many that when this con-
summation was reached the agitation with
regard to the rights of the colored people
would cease, and that some new subject of
political discussion would usurp the place of
the Everlasting niger" Indeed, many who
were not particularly friendly to the children
of Ham, and who held firmly the orthodox
views with regard to their immediate relation
ship to the gorillas, as demonstrated by the
formation of their shin-bones and craniums,
tactly, if not openly, endorsed the Fifteenth
Amendment, with the fervid hope that
it would put an end finally and
forever to the discussion of a subject
that has long ceased to be edifying. We can
imagine the dismay of this class of PERSONS
not to speak of those who, having supported
the claims of the negro from principle, are
well pleased to be done with him as politi-
cal problem, when they discover that there is
still a colored gentleman in the national
wood-pile, in whose behalf further legislation
will be necessary. No provision is made for
the naturalization of colored aliens, and last
week the District Court of this city was
obliged to refuse an application on the
ground that the naturalization law in this
State is only applicable to alien white men.
Senator Sumner, when this case was
brought to his notice, promptly introduced
bill to remove this last-we hope
it is the last-relic of barbarism, and Con-
gress cannot oblige the entire country more
than by passing Immediately such law as
will place colored aliens on the same footing
as their white brethren. Now that the Fif-
teenth Amendment has been ratified and
formally proclaimed, it is high time that the
members of the Democratic party should be
encouraged to start some new ideas, and to
enter upon new fields of usefulness by re-
moving altogether from their gaze the ebony
obstacle that has hitherto prevented them
from accepting in philosophical spirit the
situation resultant from the Emancipation
Proclamation and the surrender of Lees army.
