THE TNCOTTE TAV

The Boston Journal, the leading Rad
ical paper in New England, is waxing
earnest in urging the repeal of the income
tax. The following "squibs " are from
its issue of March %:
PERSONAL INCOME TAx.-When will it
be abolishedg The people demand that
this tax shall be abolished.
A WAR MEAsURE.-The personal in
come tax was submitted to as a war mea-
sure. The war closed nearly five years
ago. Congress should repeal the tax.
VINO PAYS THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX?
1t falls very heavily upou all persons en-
gagged in established business. Specula-
tors escape the burden, and the working
classes feel it.
REPEAL THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX
Congress can in single day limit the exc
cution of this law. We are reducing our
public debt as rapidly as we ought to do.
Take this load from the shoulders of the
people, andit would infuse new life into
business.
Is TATAx UPoN THE RICH 9-The per-
sonal income tax is said to be tax upon
the rich. Is this so? The rich can
afford to pay it. 1t does not touch their
wants or even the luxuries of life. They
donot feel it. 1t is salaried men and per
sons with small incomes who are loudest
in their demands for its repeal.
WHY Is THE Personal INCOME TAX
RETAINED 1T is not absolutely needed.
1t may swell the receipts and enable the
financial statement of the country to ap-
pear a little better; but does this compen-
safe for the irritation and annoyance
which the people experience in its en-
forcement
The Journal is right in all its positions,
and there are many other reasons why the
tax should be repealed. This tax was
one of the "great" and unconstitutional
measures which the Radicals inflicted
upon the country in the early stage of the
war, and now that the people have had
chance to see its operations and compre-
bend it in all its bearings, they demand its
repeal. And so, too, they will some time
demand the repeal of the other unjust
and unconstitutional legislation of the
Radical Congress, when the madness
which rules the hour has passed away.
The Radical party has done but little that
will be approved by the "sober second
thought" of the country.

HOW IT MORRIS.

The Radical Senators, who are endeay-
oring to get Gen. Ames into the United
States Senate, admit that he is not a citi-
zen of the State of Mississippi, and was
in the United States army from another
State at the time of his election. But it
is insisted that, inasmuch as he had de-
clared his intention to resign and make
that State his permanent residence, it
was sufficient. OF course, in these days,
any thing is constitutional and legal which
the Jacobin faction desire. But if dec
laration of intention to be citizen makes
man citizen, it is rather curious that
all of our foreign-born people who become
voters should be required to wait three
years after declaring their intention to
become citizens before they are declared
citizens in fact. 1t has been hitherto
supposed that an intention was one thing
and an act another, and that they were
very frequently in antagonism. Gen.
Ames was the military commander in
Mississippi. He used the power of the
bayonet which he welded TO elect himself,
a non resident whom common decency,
as well as the law, would prevent from
even being q candidate. What a dis
graceful spectacle does all this present to
the world

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
The telegraph has announced the pro-
clamation of the President declaring The
ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of she United States.
To the extent that this amendment gives
the right of suffrage to the negro, is i
matter of no consequence in Tennessee.
That right had already been conferred
upon them in this State In much more
unquestionabie manner by our State Con-
stitution. This amendment viii make no
very decided change in any State upon
the election returns. In those States where
the ballot has hitherto been denied to the
negro race, then numbers are SO
few that their admission to suffrage is of
but little Importance.
The urgency with which the adoption
of the amendment was passed, shows
some as great inconsistencies as were seen
in our own State when Brownlow, Butler
and other East Tennessee Radicals were
converted from the bitteIest opponents of
negro suffrage to the yeriest negro wor-
shippers, as suddenly as Saul, of Tarsus,
was converted to be the follower Of
Christ.
Senator Morton, of Indiana, has, for a
year or more, been one of the most pow
erful advocates of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and yet, in his Indianapolis speech,
on the 9th Of September, 1855, he said:
81 believe that in the case of four mil
lions of slaves, just freed from bondage,
there should be a period of probation and
preparation before they are brought to the
exercise of political power. = = What
is their condition2 Perhaps not one in
five hundred might say one in thou
sand-can read, and perhaps not one in
five hundred is worth five dollars in prop
erty of any kind. =
fECan you conceive that a body of
men, white or black, who have been in
this condition, and their ancestors before
them, are qualified to be Immediately
lifted from their present state into the
full exercise of political power, not only
to govern themselves and their neighbors,
but to take part in the Government of
the United States? Can they be regarded
as intelligent and independent voters
The mere statement of facts furnishes the
answer to the question. To
say that such men-and,i it is no fault of
theirs, it is simply their misfortune, and
crime of this nation-to say that such
men, just emerged from slavery, are quail
flied for the exercise of political power,
is to make the strongest pro-slavery argu-
ment ever heard. 1t is to pay the
highest compliment to the institution of
slavery.
Such are the beauties of Re dical con-
sistency.

avowed purpose Of ovuthrowing the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court not aocepta-
Bile to the Radical party. II was boldly
and frequently stated that Gen. Grant
would appoint no one who did not be-
lieve in the constitutionality. of the con
troyerted act of Congress. Judge Strong
had, as Judge in Pennsylvania, delivered
an opinion to that effect, and Judge Brad
ley had unequivocaIly expressed himself
on that subject.
The proposition to appoint Judges of
the Supreme Court of the United States
because of their views of the eonstitu-
tionality of an act or of a series of acts of
Congress, is branded by the Journal Of
Commerce as disgracefuL not only as a
blow aimed at the independence of the
judiciary, but as bringing the most cor
rupting agency of political influence to
bear upon the rights of property and the
settlement of great constitutional princi-
Piles.
We have no lengthy comment
to make upon the proposal to ap-
point new judges of a certain
bias for the express purpose of re-
verSsing decision of the court. There can
be but one opinion of such scheme
among right-minded men of any party,
and we are content to leave it to the in
fanny it so richly deserves.

POLITICAL JUDGES AND THE
LEGAL TENDER ACT.

We were informed by telegraph day
or two ago that an important action in
reference to the legality of the legal-ten-
der act will soon be taken to the Supreme
Court, and it is probable that the recent
decision of that court will be re-
yised. Attorney General Hoar, on the
25th, moved that the court take up and
consider, at an early day, the cases, which
should have been passed early in the ses-
sion, which are supposed to involve the
entire legal-tender question. 1t is under
stood the Chief Justice viii announce
that the cases will be heard the following
Monday. The decision will not be heard
for several weeks. Attorney Genera
Hoar viii argue the case for the United
States. The cases involve the same ques-
lions embraced in the one already decided.
The Supreme Court will stand: Chase,
Nelson, Clifford and Field, against Miller,
Davis, Swayne, Strong and Bradley.
Here we have another one of the beau
ties of Radicalism A decision was rem
dered few weeks ago upon a very i'm
portrait subject, and because distasteful to
the dominant party, it was insisted that
the vacancies on the Supreme Bench
should be filed with view to reversal
of the former opinion. Before the con-
frmation of Judges Strong and Bradley
they were urged with distinct reference to
their previous views on the constitutional
ity of the legal tender act and fer the

IT is said that the houses of A. T.
Stewart & Co., and ii. B. Clahin 6 Co.,
are engaged in an internecine dry goods
warfare. Stewart in making terrific
raid on unbleached muslins and Merri-
mack prints. 1t is stated that he has
thrown upon the market vast quantities
of Merimacks at ten cents per yard,
while the manufacturers themselves
charge twelve. The Merrimack men
struck his name from their books and re-
fused to sell him any more goods. Stew
art is reported to have Immediately pro-
cured a supply through a Philadelphia
firm. There is terrible flutter among
the dry goods people, and general as
sertion that if Stewart continue his raid
he will ruin pretty much every importer
and jobber in the city.

THERE is trouble among the Radicals in
Indiana The indianapolis Sentinel states
that leading Republican declared few
days ago, and no doubt he expressed the
sentiment of the leading men of the party,
that the Republican party had "stall fed
the Dutch long enough, and now as it had
niggers enough to offset the German vote
the Dutch might CO." And to show that
the party could get along without the aid
of the Germans, the convention to nomi-
nate candidates for the various offices for
Marion county, did not put German on
the ticket, Notwithstanding several were
suggested and urged for positions. This
has Justly incensed the German citizens
of Indianapolis, and on the evening of
the 29th ult. they held an Indignation
meeting, and adopted the following;
Resolved, That we regard the refusal
of the late county convention to accord
d single position on the county ticket to
the German Republicans, where their
numbers entitled them to more, and
where they had presented number of
honest and capable candidates, as odious
and proscriptive, and that we viii resent
il accordingly.
The German Republicans of Iudianap-
oils rebel against the party that hopes to
perpetuate its hold on power through the
negro vote, and the extravaganza, fraud
and corruption that are its fruits.

A FEW days ago fellow by the name
of Avery telegraphed to Gen. Butler from
Savannah, that himself and other citizens
from the North, who were spending mil
lions of dollars in building railroads in
Georgia, were in danger of their lives
from the violence and rufianism Of the
people, Efthe passage of the Bingham
amendment in the House having set the
worst clements in society wild" This
statement was echoed in Congress and re-
heated in al the Radical papers of the
North. of course the whole affair was a
swindle. So far from investing Northern
capital, the Georgia papers assert that
Avery and the other Northern corpOrators
of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad,
are spending nothing but what they draw
from the State treasury, the Legislature
having voted them State aid, coupled with
the condition of the completion of so
many miles of the road by a certain day.
This condition they are unable to comply
with from the lack of funds to pay the
contractors. Their due-bills can be had
for a song in Savannah and Brunswick.
The Savannah Republican tells ''of one
moor laborer who Offered one of their
PROMISES to pay to the amount OF two
hundred dollars for box of trecrackers
20 celebrate Christmas with, but was I'M
able to perfect the negotiation" When
tbe Radicals in Congress wish TO pass some
yiIIainous bill, they raise the cry of "Mur-
der" and this Georgia tale was one OF the
aforementioned exclamatioEs.

MAJOR WHITE, whose curious murder
Ct a Mrs. Hobbs some time ago in Boston
created a great deal of talk throughout the
country, from the peculiar relations he
held to the family-being an avowed
lover of the murdered woman, and yet
allowed by the husband to live under
their roof-has been convicted by his own
plea of manslaughter, and sentenced to
fifteen years Imprisonment. The friends
of the Major would have resisted, by a
defence of insanity, conviction for the
capital offence; but rather than run the
risk of the introduction of Testimony of
a scandalous character" they permit him
to go to prison for what, at his age, is
likely..to prove the remnant of his natural
life. The New York Express says: 'Gn
cases where love of improper character
leads to murder, New York is not the
only place where curious verdicts, and
curious pleas, and curious use of legal
technicalities are employed to save necks
from the gallows, and cover questionable
doings from the public eye" That is a
pretty sharp lick at sanctimonious Boston.

INDECENT HASTE.

The PRONUNCIATION of the proclamation
announcing the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment, was to have been delayed I'M
til the admission of Georgia, in order to
make the thing sure, there being a CUES
ton as to the legality of the ratification
by Indiana, and the Legislature of New
York having rescinded the ratification by
that State. But the Radicals in Connect
cut are in terrible strait, and SO the proc
lamation was rushed out Wednesday, the
day on which the bill admitting Texas
was passed and signed by the President,
in order to give the Connecticut Radicals
an opportunity to register the negroes in
that State, so they canyote next Tuesday.
To show the indecent haste with which
this thing has been done, it is simply ne
cessary to state that Congress met at
twelve o'clock, and within an hour the
bill admitting Texas was passed by the
House as it came from the Senate, and
was duly enrolled and signed by the Vice
President and Speaker of the House and
by the President within an hour from the
time of its passage. The President just
as soon as he signed the bill, signed and
dated the special message, which he had
previously prepared, and sent it at once
to the House of Representatives, together
with the proclamation of the Secretary of
State. Party necessity demanded this in
decent haste, and the President of the
United States recognized that necessity.
1t is reported that venerable old gentle
man who was in the crowd when the an
nouncement was made that the negroes
could now vote everywhere: "Well,
gentlemen, you'll all be damned sorry for
this" The speaker was Dent, senior, the
father-in law of the President.

Cadet Butler says that the money which
he received for the appointment of the
Connecticut boy as the cadet from the
first district of Tennessee, was not the
consideration upon which he appointed
the youth who tarried night in Taylor
vile; that he, r. R. B., did not get the
benefit of the money, but thatft was sent
to Tennessee to be used in the political
campaign. In other words, the considera-
ton of the appointment was the corrup-
ton of the ballot-box by the use of money.
And this explanation is satisfactory to
Radical Congressman!
Nevertheless, in the light Of its effect
on public virtue, the conduct of Devices,
who put the money received on the sale
of a cadetship in his pocket, or of Whit
temore who spent his for educational pur-
poses, was that of Christian gentleman
compared to the disreputable transaction
of Butler.

GRANT is in trouble about his St. Do
mingo project. So far his lobbying with
the Senate has failed to secure the rati-
fcation of the treaty of annexation. 1t
has been given out that if the Senate re-
fuses to ratify the treaty, then an annexa-
ton coup detat is TO be tried; in other
words, a joint resolution is to be adopted
by both houses of Congress, as was done
in the case of Texas, authorizing the an
nexation of the island. But it is now
feared this will not work. A canvass as
to the strength of the measure, if it comes
up in the shape of annexation by joint
resolution, is not reassuring, as it is found
that Senators who favor the ratification of
the treaty win be inclined in the event of
the rejection to sustain the dignity of the
Senate by opposing the attempt to reverse
the decision of that body through joint
resolution of the two houses.

TIE New York Times, abiding to the
increase of bribery and legislative cor
ruption, suggests that 'the clergy must
arouse the conscience of the public on
the subject. The church, as an organized
body, does not do half it might to arrest
the corruption of the public morals. Let
the ministers take note of this, and begin
in their pulpits to thunder against fraud
and injustice in business and legislation. "
1t is exceedingly proper that the clergy
should be appealed to in this matter. No
class of men is more responsible for the
present deplorable state of public morals
than the Radical clergy.
