THE PROCESSION.
The present occasion was no exception to the
rule which has been observed for the last four
years, unless, indeed 1t be In the fact that the
arrangements were, II possible, more extensive
and complete than ever before. The day was as
balmy, breezy and beautiful as Paradise could
spare for the enjoyment Of nortals and at an ear
ly hour the German population were astir. The
majority Of their places OF business were closed,
and bunting stretched across the streets or
waving from the housetops announced general
holiday, at least to them. At O'Clock A. Nj. the
festival was announced by salute Of twelve guns
fred from tile Citadel Green. Thereupon the
ritemen assembled at Lindstedt's Hall, their
headquarters, and an escort was sent for the last
years King-Mr. D. Goetjen. At s o'clock the
procession was formed with Its right resting on
King street, and soon after moved via King,
Broad, East Bay, Market and Meeting streets to
the South Carolina Railroad depot.
The formation of the procession was as follows:
1. The ten "target jumpers"

DOWN WITH TIE INCOME Tx.

TIE repugnance to continuance of the in
come tax increases with the discussion of its
obnoxious characteristics. 1t is odious to
those who arc exempt because that very fact
proclaims their comparative poverty; and it
il odious to richer men because they are COM
PEELED to expose their prosperity to the world,
and thus to subject themselves to q thousand
annoying opportunities. II is unjust and
unequal because evasions are extremely easy,
and those who do not stickle at false state
ments readily escape large portion of their
legitimate burden, while conscien-
tious men are mulcted of the last
farthing due. During the war patriotic citi-
zens cheerfully submitted to it, and they are
still ready to contribute to the Government
all the money needed to maintain its efficiency
and its credit, but in a time of peace and
prosperity they feel that the superfiuous ag-
gravation of an exposure of their private affairs
should be discontinued. The Congress which
established the tax practically acted on this
theory by limiting its duration, and the
present Congress had much better withstand
the frowns of Commissioner Delano than the
indignation of irate constituencies, which they
would inevitably evoke by an unnecessary
continuance of what British as well as
American experience has proved to be the
most unequal and most unpopular of all
taxes

The EASTERN DIsTILIERs seems to have
standing grudge against Commissioner De-
lano, on the ground that he favors the West
ern whisky makers. 1t is alleged that, while
the laws are strictly enforced in Pennsylva-
MIA, laxity prevails in Ohio. We hope these
accusations are unfounded, and that he is
doing his best to enforce collection of the
tax on spirits in all quarters of the Union, for
it would be to the last degree disgraceful for
high national official to designedly dis
charge his dutiesin amanner which would give

At this rate he could edo" hundred miles
inside of twenty-four hours, with full four
hours, thirty minutes, and thirty seconds
wherein to rest. This proves Lord Albert
Pelham Clinton TO be greater "walkist'
than Weston. Mr. Disraeli is on the lookout
for conservative leader in the House of
Lords. Evidently Lord Albert Pelham Clinton
is his man. II may be that he does not know
much; but then the same objection can be
urged against Lord Abercorn, who Is spoken
of prominently as the prospective Parliamen-
tary successor of the late Earl of Derby, and
Lord Albert Pelham Clinton possesses the
decided advantage of very aristocratic eog-
nomen and peerless pair of legs. =
SoNu MONTHS ago Charles Dickens m '1e IN
sfter-dinner speech at Birmingham, in which
he declared that she had no faith in the
people governing, but entire faith in the
people governed" This oracular utterance
was interpreted in many different ways; some
declaring that Mr.. Dickens, like many of the
once liberal literary men of England in
tended to repudiate his early creed, and
others that it was a reaffirr alton of it. Others
again contended that it was an attempt to
carry water on both shoulders, and there
were not few who thought that it meant
nothing at all except that Mr.. Dickens had
taken glass so more sherry than was good
for him, and that he did not know
what he was saying This was certainly
the most probable solution of the mystery
but it seems that Mr.. Dickens did mean some
thing, for on Thursday evening he made an
other speech at the same place, when he ex-
planned matters by stating that she had no
faith in the people with small p governing,
but entire faith in the people with large P).
governed, which is about as silly and as un-
meaning as his first effort but then he added,
by way of answer to his conundrum, that tho
idea he intended to convey was that she put
infinite trust in the masses-none whatever
in the so-called governing classes.
The question is why did he not say this at
first and then his hearers would not have
misunderstood him, and the newspapers of
England and America would have been spared
o great deal'of trouble in endeavoring to de-
cipher his meaning

A NEW RELIGIOUS MO HEHENT.
A TALENTED priest of the Puseyite branch of
the Church of England, Rev. Joshua D.
Brady, is about to establish mission in the
slums of New York, TO which considerable
Importance is attached by the journals of that
city. Mr.. Bradley's success in labors of a
similar characterin London warrants the belief
that he will exercise good influence upon the
outcasts Of Gotham, and there is perhaps no
field for missionary labor of equal importance
which is more grossly neglected. His plan of
operation is somewhat similar to that adopted
by the Bedford Street Mission of this city,
and he intends to reside among, visit fire.
quently, and minister to the temporal as we'll
as the spiritual welfare of the objects
of his solicitude. There is q certain degree
of novelty in the idea of an EnglishmaR,
maintained by English funds, undertaking
missionary work in the great importing city
of the United States; but there can be no
doubt that ample scope will be found there
not only for all his energies, but for the self
sacrificing labors of numerous other re-
formers from other portions of the world.
Additional interest is attached to his move
ment by the fact that the priests of his pecu-
liar belief are now subjected to SO many an
noyances and prosecutions by portion of
the English Episcopalians that a number of
their leaders already contemplate emigration
to this country as resort which may at no
distant period become necessary for the full
enjoyment of their religious freedom. If
this conjecture proves correct, they will begin
bymaking America missionary ground, to end
by finding here safe refuge for themselves.

Tue SUEz CANAL is undoubtedly great
engineering work, but it seems 10 be agreed
by all disinterested AID responsible observers
that it is not such success az its projectors
desired or intended. Only vessels of very
light draught can pass through it, and by
some blunder there are number of sharp
curves, in turning which it is almost impos-
sible for boats of any size to avoid getting
aground Besides, the desert sands are con-
tsnualy drifting into the cut so that it will
require constant vigilance and an immense
annual outlay merely to keep the
canal in order, while to make it
available for vessels OF the largest class
will necessitate an additional expenditure
equal if not greater than that which has
already been made. The only partial success
of the Suez Canal suggests the Importance of
making the often-talked-of cut at Darien
Such canal, if once constructed, would be
open to but few of the objections of the one
at Suez, and there is no doubt that deep
and wide channel can be constructed at Darien
that will give passage to vessels of any size
and, after the first cut, be but of comparatively
little expense to maintain in proper condition
This work is of the utmost Importance to the
people of the United States, and efforts ought
to be made to keep the control of it entirely
in our own hands. The Navy Department
has ordered the preliminary surveys of the
approaches to be made, and it is to be hoped
that some decisive steps will shortly be taken
by capitalists to carry out the great enterprise.
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT has received re-
port from Rear-Admiral Poor with regard to
the behavior of the Dictator recently in q gale
while on trip from Tybee roads, at the
mouth of the Savannah river, to Key West,
which indicates that vessels of the monitor
class cannot be relied upon to go to sea in
heavy weather. The Dictator appears to have
behaved well, but it is evident that she was
not under control to such an extent as to
give reasonable guarantee of safety to her
officers and Grew, who will probably unite
with Admiral Poor in the opinion that such
vessels should not be sent to sea unless mode
rate breezes and, pleasant weather can be
assured. The monitors were built for and
are mainly adapted for harbor service, and
although some of them have made long voy-
ages in safety, they are not good sea boats in
the common acceptation of the term, and it
| is a mere reckless risking of human life to
| send them out when they are likely to meet
| with bad weather.
