The Income Tag.

There is at at this time an almost
universal outcry for the repeal of
the income tax, but Congress ap-
pears to be seriously indisposed to
keep faith with the people on this
subject. This odious war-tex was
originally laid as q necessity, and
was to be permitted to die with
the year A. D. 1870. Honor, as
well as good policy, should induce
the party in authority to keep
this public pledge. For, if the
government set a vicious example
of reputation, what can it expect,
as a teacher, of its pupils, the peo-
plei Beast Butler very shrewd.
ly remarked to his fellow mem
bers of the House, the other day,
that if this tax were not abolished
"the place that once knew them
1.-THE republicans) "would know
them no more" The House has
consented to fix the exemptions
at two thousand dollars year,
and an allowance of five hundred
a year for rent. This would be a
relief to thousands ofpersons, but
the tax ought to be abolished in
toto. The pledge given at its first
imposition should be redeemed.
The people can have no faith in q
government that deliberately vi.
olates its solemn pledges in this
naughty manner. The income
tax, if maintained longer than the
current. year, will be very apt to
terminate the dominance of the re-
publican party in the federal CAPT.

The Chillicothe Advertiser has
this illustration of how the rich
are made richer, and the poor
poorer, under our system Of state
and federal taxation.
"In this city, last week, a wild.
ow lady was brought before the
board of equalization, who by mis-
take had omitted to return two
thousand dollars (about the sum
total of her substance and on &C.
knowledging the fact, the amount
was charged two per cent, thus
making her pay for every dollar
she was worth. A few moments
after one of our wealthy citizens,
known to be worth over hundred
thousand dollars, also appeared
and testified that he had but nine
hundred dollars subject to taxa.
ton. "Where is the rest" was
the question asked by the board.
SIN non, taxable government bonds, "
was the rejoinder and the wealthy
citizen, with his hundred thou
sand dollars, went free, with a tax
of twenty-seven dollars, while the
poor widow, with her three thou
sand dollars, was charged a tax
of ninety dollars"
1t is to meet just such cases as
this that the Democratic party
demands the taxation of the gov
eminent bonds, and further, we
would apply the funds derived
from such taxation to make good
any deficiency in the revenue
caused by renting the tariff tax
alton on such necessaries of life as
tea, coffee and sugar.

The Stiffness of bestowing the

trated in the reelection of Mr..

was expelled from bis place in

the press a "scoundrel of the
meanest type" and he is admitted
to be a ''carpet-bagger"-s. e., a
person who has gone "down South"
merely to use the negroes as in

ment. Yet this disgraced and dis.

of trickery and sycophancy-by
persuading his wife to kiss the ne.

The .Invasion" Of Canada.

Now that the Fenian ''invasion"
of Canada is over, the public eye
begins to perceive how ludicrous
it was, in such a Falstaffian army,
to attempt the conquest of that
piece Of British territory. The
whole affair was little more than
farcical from beginning to end, ex-
cept to the poor deluded fellows
who are now in their graves, and
to those who, having lost every
thing they possessed, (even conf
dence in their leaders, have re-
turned home sadder and wiser
men. 1t is to be hoped that an
honest enthusiasm will never be
so played upon again, in this coun-
try, by char!atans and fools. The
great mase of the Fenians who fig.
ured in this fray were, no doubt,
honestly inbued with a desire to
iberate their native land from the
."Saxon yoke" and had been sed'
uloasly taught that Canada was
an open spot for fatal blow in the
armor of Brittania. But those
who thus misled them were either
treacherous or deceived. The
"Irish People" says very tersely.
and we endorse every word of it
ga raid on Canada ceases with
the raid. The Canadians, or The
invaders, or both, may be injured
but Ireland is not benefited there
by. Neither is the cause of Ire
land benefited. To injure an in
nocent people who never did uf
harm cannot benefit Ireland OIL
Irelahd's cause. This thing is &C
plain that it somehow astonishee
us how people can be misled in ex
aiming the questions here invOlv
ed"
That lie our view of the case
exactly.

Rumors Of a European
War-The Breadstuf
Market Cleaned Out.

New York, June 5, 1870
Private advices from Liverpool
state that Continental buyers yes
terday cleared the breadstuffs
market ahead of cable quotations :;
hence the English purchasers had
to fall back on our market, and
the result was that they swept it
in less than ten minutes of two
hundred thousand bushels of wheat
and were dissatisfied that they
could not get a sufficient supply
of -four for immediate shipping
purposes. To-day orders have
been sent by cable from France
for further purchases, and there
exists now no doubt that serious
troubles are apprehended on the
Continent.
War in the east Of Europe is
among the immediate probabilities
of the summer. Russia is again
regarded as an aggressor by the
Western Powers, audit is believed
that Prussia this time will join
France in preventing the Gar
from dealing death blow to Tur-
key. 1t is evident that the Egyp-
tan Viceroy's preparations for
war are openly encouraged and
aided by Russia, and the Crimean
War may have to be fought over
again to keep the Gar out of
Constantinople.
