TIRE RADICAL CAN-CAN an THE
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

The efforts of the Radical destruction
lists to reorganize the Georgia Legislature
in their own interests, presented the most
disgraceful scene that has been witnessed
since the efforts of the Radicals of this
State to organize their Convention in this
city in May last The Senate appears to
have had but litth difficulty in effecting
its organization. 1t was noticed that the
negro Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, who was
expelled from the Senate last year, and
was subsequently concerned in the Ogee-
chez instruction near Savannah, and has
been hiding in the North since that time,
in order to avoid arrest, was on hand and
took his seat. 1t has been established be-
yond question that this culprit was, while
citizen of New York, sentenced to the
pcnitentiary, and. served a term in that
institution. In their dire extremity the
Radicals in Georgia viii take anybody
who will help them. The House of Rep
resentatives was the bear garden of the
occasion, and the Atlanta correspondent
of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
gives a graphic description of the Radical
Can-Can:
SAT twelve O'Clock the members of the
House of Representatives assembled in
their chambers, and it was found that
Bullock had appointed A L. (better known
as Yanl1ee) Harris, the State Road Su
pervisor, to act as clerk and ringmaster of
the menagerie in the House.
''In the House, as in the Senate, the
Bullockites had gotten up printed pro-
test against allowing several Democratic
members to take their seats. When the
protest was presented, Harris ordered Pot
Ash FaTow's opinion on the subject to
be read, knowing that the protest had
been previously gotten Up in accordance
with the vi6gs expressed by the Attorney
General. ss
AS soon as Harris had ordered the
opinion to he read, J. E. Bryant, of Rich
mond, rose and opposed the reading of
the document. Harris Immediately or
dered the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest

BOUTWELL, HDLLANG q DADs
Tile New York World of the 10th
inst. contends that Mr.. Boutwell, is row
at work "bplling gold " for the benefit of
his STOCK jobbing and gold-gamhling
friends. That paper says: , 2 z
"The fact is unquestioned that
all Mr.. Boutwell, has done since
June lasts when he moved from
the platform of principle on to
that of alleged 'expediency' by increas-
ing his sales of gold and his purchases of
bonds above s., 900, 600 per month, which
complied with the sinking fund law of
1852. has been precisely what the Wall
street and other spectators wanted. To
suit the Treasury Department ring of
gold gamblers and tOck-jobbers,' who
were long of government bonds at 100
and upwards, Mr.. Boutwell, has prostitu-
ted his power as Secretary of the Treas
ury by refusing"To receive the currency
bonds of the United States as security at
Washington for bank-note circulation, al
though the acts of Congress imperatively
commanded the Secretary of the Treasury
so to receive them, and Secretaries Chase
and McCulloch had always complied with
these laws of Congress, and had received
about $23, 600, 900 of the currency skies,
which are still held by the banking de-
partment at Washington. p"
The World adds: 'Gn fact, Mr.. Bout
wells actions since the September gold
panic have shown plainly the insineerity
of the professions of the Republican party
for return 10 specie payments or SOUND

street, it thinks, are too great source o.

THE JUDICIARY.

Gov. Hayes, of Ohio, in his inaugural
address, delivered on the 10th, speaking
of the important questions which win
come before the Constitutional Conven-
ton authorized to be called by vote of
of the people of that State, says:
"Our judicial system is plainly jnade-
quate to the wants of the people of the
State. Extensive alterations of the sex-
isting provisions must be made The
suggestions l desire to present in this con-
nection are as to the manner of selecting
Judges, their terms of office, and their
salaries 1t is fortunately true that the
Judges of our courts have heretofore
been, for the most part, lawyers of learn
ing, ability and integrity. But it must
be remembered that the tremendous
events and the wonderful progress of the
last few years are working radical changes
in the condition of our society. HitAer-
erto population has been sparse, prop
erty not unequally distributed, and
the bad elements which so frequent
ly control large cities, have been al
most unknown in our State. But, with
a dense population crowding into towns
end cities, with vast wealth accommodating
in the hands of few persons, or corpora
tons, it is to be apprehended that the
time is coming when judges elected by
popular vote, for short official terms, and
poorly paid, will not possess the indie
pendence required to protect individual
rights. Under the national Constitution
judges are nominated by the Executive,
and confirmed by the Senate, and hold Office
during good behavior. 1t is worthy Of
consideration whether return to the sys-
TEN established by the fathers is not the
dictate of the highest prudence. l be-
heve that o system under which Judges
are SO appointed, for long terms, and
with adequate salaries, afford to the citi-
" zens the amplest possible security that
impartial justice will be administered by
an independent judiciary"
That our Judiciary system is very i'm
perfect is fact well known to every
Judge; lawyer and intelligent citi-
zen of the State. Right and justice
are not now administered without delay,
and can not be with the present organiza-
ton of our Judiciary system. We are
aware that the Radicals have made this
one of their objections to the assembling
of our present Constitutional Convention.
But the defects in the system are noto-
rious, and if a Radical Governor can
recommend a change'in so loyal State as
Ohio, why may not Tennessee crave re-
formation upon q similar subject 1t is
a question which we hope will not escape
the attention of the able Judiciary Com
mittee of the Convention.

THE INCOME TAX---JANUAEEE
DIVEDENDS NOT TAXABLE.

The income tax law expires this year
unless renewed by Congress. The Phila-
delphia Ledger says that the law as it
stands requires a return of all incomes for
the calendar year up to Dec. 81, and
provides that in the next succeeding
March and April the tax shall be assessed
and collected. No losses sustained before
or after the calendar year can be allowed,
nor can any income received outside of
the calendar year be made smenablc to
the tax. Now, the income law is virtually
dead as regards taxation for 1870, and
will so remain unless Congress by legis-
lation gives it new life; and
vet all the canals and railroad
companies paying coupons and interest
due on the first day Of January, 1870, are
deducting the tax as required when the
law was in continuance. This IS clearly
wrong. Those coupons and this interest
are not liable to tax under any of the pro
visions Of the existing income tax, and
bv no rule of right or reason can the hYe
nor cent. tax be deducted from the
amount due. Suppose Congress should
not re-enact the law, can there be any
oucstion that the companies will be liable
n bondholders for the amount withheld
All the companies paying interest due
after the Slst of December, 1869, should
act as if there was no income tax, and II
they withhold the tax, should not let 1t
mass from their control to that OF the Gov
eminent, for the almost uniyersaloplnion
is, they viii have to pay the bondholders
the full amount. 1t is no answer 10 say
that the income accrued in the hall year
ending with December, and therefore may
be deducted Jan. l, for all the rulings ana
decisions on that point have been con-
strued strictly as to the time OF the Tsceip'
of income, as well as 10 the time losses
were actually realized, or repairs actually
made and paid

New ENGLAND is in bad way. 1t is

land will lose six members of Congress,
and to add to this, there is talk among
Western Republicans in Congress Of re-
arranging the senatorial appointment and
putting it upon the basis of population,
by which New England would lose half

England, of Massachusetts particularly, is
attracting attention from the press and
popular lecturers in that section. One
authority asserts that farms can be pur-
chased for less than the value Of the
houses; that in all sections are farms over
grown with weeds, and the buildings de-
serted and tumbling down. The young
men, as soon as grown up, leave for the
more fertile lands of the West, and thus
