The AllH.s isSiGn I Of virginia

The p.ecE If Hon. 5. s. Cox, oi
New York, on the admission OF
Virginia. asserts with truth that it is
IA surly welcome" which is offered
to Virginia. Not thus were the
States originally induced to come
into the Union. None before have
been refused places, on signifying
their readiness to comply with the
constitutional terms. Mr.. Cox
demonstrated that the consumation
Of Reconstruction, as finally reached
by the admissions Of Mr.. Logan, was
the marching Of q Federal force By
order Of Congress into whatever
State dared to d,sobey its cdicts.
His single inquiry was. whether
Virginia should cone back into the
Union in chains or on airy equality
with tho other States. lie asked
why, if Congress cannot, ais Attorney
General Hoar has advised, impose
requirements on States after ad.nis.
sion, it should do, SO before. A
string of test oaths bccomese a. farce,
and ends, as in the ase of Georgia
with sheer military force. z The very
men who 60 out to participate in re.
construc ton, find themselves insensi
bly, compelled to adopt the sentiment
Of the people with whom they reside
This shows the futility Of all attempts
Of congress to rule States in the place
of their own population. The GROUND
Of opposition made by Mr.. Cox to al
these worthless conditions is, thai
they impair and destroy in its essen
tial life the statehood which they pro-
Tess to revive. And in that regard
the integrity Of all the other State.
is similarly wounded and wcaksucd
The preposterous idea Of permitting
no change in the local laws Of Virgin
ia, by her own people, was satirizeo
by MIR Cox in n,rrciless but jus,
manner. And be put up SO eloquent
and sincere, SO manly and patriotic

INCOME TAX.

An Important DecisioM...A Nierct ann M.
compelled TO Deliver Hts Books to 4.
United states Assessor -
From the Philadelphia Post, Jan. Is,
The case of George Doll. Of the
frm Of George Doll Il Co., import.
ers OF fancy goods, heard on writ of
Aabecs corpus Le discharged from ar
rest 0ccsuse Of refusal to deliver
his books to the United States asses
sor, was heard yesterday. Mr.
Sharpless for the defendant, made
the following points, which are of in
terest to every merchant: ~" 49, g.
1. That the 10th section Of the
act Of June 30. 1864. under which
the income tax is levied, is unconsti-
tutional aud void, as undertaking to
levy q capitation, or at all events a
direct tax, by the rule Of uniformity
and not that Of superintendent. ."i'1.
2. That go much of the l4th Sec
tioa Of the same act as invests the
assessor with power 10 compel a citi-
zen who has once made bis return Of
income under oath, to produce his
bucks and give evidence in regard to
the same after its c,r rectnrss has
been challenged by the officer, is un-
constitutional and void. as infringing
upon the provisions If article fifth,
smendmcnts OF 1889, constitution Of
the United States "Nor shall any
person * + be compelled in any
criminal case to be witness against
hlmsclf.'
:. That the power sought to be
conferred upon the assess IF hy he las
section is really the judicial power
o; the United States" which, by
the constitution, can only be exercis-
ed by judges holding their Offices for
the term Of goua behavior, aud not
by officers who arc removable at any
moment, probahly at the discretion
Of the president, certainly at that Of
the president aud senate. es . @
4. That the proceedings autboriz-
cd by the same section are an in
fringement Of the citizens constitu-
tional right Of trial by jury in every
criminal case. The federal legisla-
ture cannot create new criminal
offence unknown 10 the common law
or our statute law at the time of the
adoption of the constitution and
which was not then punishable By
"attachment as for contempt" and
provided for its ertainment now by
any other than the ordinary machine
ry Of y trialby q jury at common law.
5. The extraordinary remedies
provided by the same section arc not
to be used in reassessing income du.
ties; If there is occasion 20 reassess
them it is to be done under the l4th
section Of the same act, which cor
tsins no provision for an attachment
as for a contempt y aa7. f.s...'..

arc decided against Us the proceed
ings here are SO radically defective
and hopelcssly incurable that the re-
lator must be discharged. s.#~

The state Debt.

We have heard considerable about
the.Stat being out of debt. Many
of the Radicals have made them
selves hoarse proclaimingit. Proud,
radical Iowa +! Now We are quietly
informed by the Governor in his ter
ribly long message that our State
debt Is $500, 600, i'll what il known
as the defense bonds. We have
charged these things home to the
Radicals, when shey have declared
the State out Of debt.
But has tho Governor told il all in
this little allusion to the var de-
tense bonds? In looking over the
appropriations Of the last legisla-
turc. the following item is found -
For the payment Of the two annual
instruments of.intcrest on school
fund loans, to become due, the sum Of
SAG, 935, s3' is appropriated. Now,
this would pay the interest upon near
four hundred thousand dollars, which,
added to the $500 900 Of war defense
delft, makes the nice little sum OF
800. 900 that the out ofdebt State
of Iowa owes.
This will show the lying-we can
give it no softer epithet (which has
been resorted to by the radical ofic-
ials Of the State to make it appear
that We are out Of debt. We have
charged these things up to the Radi-
Gals time and again. and none Of
their organs have dared to deny it.
We now have tho Governor admitting
in his message one half of what We
have charged.up the party. BY
thetimer smother two years runs
around. tho whole thing will be ad-
mittrd. Yes, before this session
closes another appropriation will be
made to ray the interest on the loan
from tho school fand.-Guzetts and

better calculated to understand the
real position Of affairs in Georgia.
and 20 know what course ough, to be
pursued. than any body else. Unless
Gen. Terry should do something fla
GRAVITY in violation of law, he ought
not to be interfered with. He (tbe
president) would have been better
pleased had Gen. Terry not asked at
all for instructions, as he (Terry)
was invested, to great extent, with
absolute power as militarysgovernor.
and should act on bis own judgment,
hut, as lie had asked for instructions,
he (the president) felt that he was
bound to send an answer 20 his COM

'.In reply to- question as to what
would be his answer to Gen. Terry &
