AND this is the way the Philadelphia
Ledger. heretofore known as 'ttrooly
loil" paper, now speaks of the income
tax. For saying less, Democratic
newspapers have been confscated and
their editors sent to Fort Lafayette:
The law imposing such tax should
have no friends in Congress, for il has
few out of it, except the army of tax
gatherers, and the fact that it has none
among the people ought to be i'm
pressed upon Congress. Indeed, the
law has virtually and truly expired.
1t lived its allotted time and its iniq-
uitous burden was borne with all the
patience that could be expected from a
people just emerged from one of the
most onerous and expensive wars that
the world ever saw. That this bur-
den was borne the more cheerfully
because of its promised Limitation
cannot be denied but to be deceived
in this promise and insulted by an un-
warranted continuance, is too much
to bear,

THE New York Sun raps Ulysses
over the knuckles in the following
unique manner: "Gen. Grant has
issued a neutrality proclamation with
reference to the Fenian campaign
against Canada. How would it have
been if instead of proclaiming neu-
trality, he had said that under ordi-
nary circumstances it would be his
duty to interfere and suppress all such
undertakings; but that until the Aza-
bdmd claims are settled the United
States could not undertake to defend
Great Britain against her enemies?

taken away. The case has been appealed.

Ar. Editor-As our municipal election will take
place about the middle of next month, prudence
would suggest that all important questions per-
tanning to our city and school government should
in the meantime be carefully considered by every
voter who takes anyiinterest in!the welfare and
prosperity of eur city. During the past three
years We hare been running to destruction at
breskneck speed. OF this we have indisputable
evidence in the number Of persons who are from
time TO time hastily disposing of their effects
and jumping off our train. Shall We order down
the brakes, or shall we wildly and recklessly
rush on to destruction: This is the question to
be determined in March next. Let us at this
election, vote into Office men whose acts un.
der all circumstances we will feel bound to sus-
tain. To repudiste, as We lately did, the acts of
men whom We had placed IN responsible positions,
was to say the least of it, unbecoming the in
telligence of the people Of Ottawa.

propriation to dress up the Court House Square,
but the application was granted somewhat
grudgingly, for the reason that, although the
county has frequently spent considerable money
in dressing up the Court House and square, the
citizens of Ottawa appear to take no pride or
interest in the matter. and to act as if the more
uncouth and dilapidated the square looked the
better it suited them. We hope, at least, if such
complaints have been just heretofore, there may
be no occasion for them hereafter
