ANOTHER OPENING FOR JoHN CHiNAMAN. -

day. This considering the general rate OF
wages in the country, is too much for labor so
little skilled but there are not many men that
are willing to lead miners life; hence the
rate keeps high But John Chinaman seems
not to be nice in the conditions Of his life so

Censress-Ths Income Tax Repealed by
tho scnats--The Georsia Bill.
The Senate, having full faith in the remark
80 frequently uttered by Europeans, that
Americans think too much Of business and too
little OF pleasure, yesterday passed bill desig-
mating December 20, June !, July and
Thanksgiving Day as public holidays In The
District OF Columbia The House will, doubt
less acquesce in this action Of the Senate, and
the days mentioned will hereafter be observed
as public holidays, not only in the District OF
Columbia, but generally throughout the coun-
try. Mr.. Summers resolutions on Cuban
affairs were taken up and discussed, but action
Mr.. Casserly an opportunity to make a speech
in opposition. Consideration Of the Tax
Tariff bill was resumed, when the sections to
continue the income tax were stricken out.
AS this action materially affected the opera
tons of the bill, necesstatlng the restoration
of other taxes. it's further consideration was
postponed in order to give the Finance Com
mlttee time TO consult upon the proper course
to pursue to provide for additional revenue
equal in amount to that lost by abolition Of the
income tax.
The Senate bill authorizing the Secretary OF
the Treasury to license pleasure yachts was
taken up and passed 10y the House. The bill
is very favorable ia all its provisions, and
permits yachts belonging to foreign yacht clubs
to enter or leave American ports without enter
Ing or clearing at the Custom House. The
House then resumed consideration of the
Georgia biz, which was thoroughly recon-
strncted and passed. The new bill simply pro-
vides that Georgia, having complied with the
reconstruction acts Of Congress and ratified
the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the
constitution, is declared entitled to representa-
ton in Congress; 1t Is also provided that the
people of Georgia have the right to elect
members Of the General Assembly as provided
for in the State constitution. The effect OF
this bill is most unfavorable to the Bullock
interest, aud will Illustrate all the deep laid
schemes to continue himself and his black
and-tan Legislators 10 Office in defiance OF the
will Of the people.

The Ketchum Sensasien-Damon and Py-
thius.

Tho Ketchum Sensasien--Damon and py-
The talk Of the hour, and the last exploded
bubble in Wall street, is the failure of young
Ketchum and the sacrifice of his faithful friend
and broker, Mr. James Boyd. On the pre-
vious occasion, when Mr.. Ketchum, who it
appears is regarded as q kind Of financial
arohangel in Wall street, got into little diff
Guilty involving loss Of millions to himself
and tens OF thousands to others who were not
in his operations. he had no Damon to inter-
pose between him and the condemnation which
justice melted out. He evidently had no opal"
with pluck and fidelity enough to serve him,
mot for dollars and cents, but purely out Of
affection'-to place him, in fact, in the high
position to which ''his genius entities him"
In his late disaster, however, he found this
stanch friend and brother lin Mr.. Boyd,
between whom and Ketchum, Boyd says
''there existed tie as necessary to each other
as air and water to either Of us" Well Boyd
and his fortune are gone down into the fathom-
less depths for time at least. His hard-earned
store has been swept away even as burnt
offering upon the altar Of friendship. Il Is
but poor consolation to know that Mr..
Ketchum's fortune, so recently and rapidly
made ION the street," is diminished also.
Damon and Pythias have suffered 10 a fraternal
embrace upon the same scaflold, because In
this case-unlike the browning point in the
drams-Pythias did not come up TO time
No doubt there are plenty Of such cases
occurring in Wall street from time to time but
they do not acquire the proportions of sensa-
ton only because the magnitude of the
amounts involved is not so startling, nor are
the chief actors so we'll known In financial
operations OF this character as Mr. Ketchum.
1t Is not necessary to enter into the merits of
this peiilous romance. 1t seems to be trans
action between a principal and his broker,
and they must share the msfortune-such as
it is--alike. We hope nobody else will be
much hurt, in which event there will not be a
great deal Of public sympathy felt for any evil
which may befall the stock aud gold gamblers
Of Wall street.

ONE MORE CRor OF BoMBs.-The police
of Limerick Ireland, discovered on Thursday
a deposit of loaded bombs in an unoccupied
house. The bomb crops also seem to come as
the diseases and revolutions do, under tho
government of some natural law that gives
them an epidemic character; just as the
cholera breaks out in India and is heard of
almost simultaneously from several cities, so
the bombs break out in different points in
Europe. The district most afflicted with this
occasional disorder is comprised within line
bounding Italy, France aud Ireland--a line,
in fact that gives these three countries noble
unity with regard to bombs. In the production
Of bombs they are one, and in the fact that the
bombs are made and deposited ninety nine
times where they are once effective they are
one also. Are all these people less despe-
rately savage when they come to discharge
their Internal machines than they think they
are while making them?

The PLAGUE OF GRAssnoppERs (the regular
locust plague) has returned to plague the
Mormons There is danger, too, if some eff
cient means for their determination be not
adopted, that these grasshoppers or locusts
will, before many years are over, abolish Nor
mon polygamy by starving It out; but, as this
will only be one nuisance abating and taking
the place of another, we hope that the Nor
mons will abate the grasshopper nuisance and
that Congress will sbate, in some quiet way,
the polygamy nuisance of the Mormons. II
would be a national disgrace to leave Mormon
polygamy to the chances of the grasshoppers,
and to prevent a general famine some day in
the far West from these swarming millions of
grasshoppers the government should offer pre-
miums for their destruction, for we believe
that modern science can destroy them.

The INCOME TAX. This odious burden
upon the people has reached at last the end
OF it's tether. The Senate yesterday by vote
of thirty-four to twenty three agreed to strike
out Of the tax tariff bill the sections containing
tax upon incomes. With this action the
House win concur. Although the House
voted to continue that tax, it has since been
pretty well agreed that it erred in doing so
and will not regret the occasion that gives it
another vote on this important subject. The
people may be satisfied tbat the income tax is
no more.

THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL ON RECON
srRuorON. from State 80 difficult
to reconstruct and control as is Georgia, the
views of the new Attorney General upon
these matters are naturally looked for with
much concern Mr.. Alderman evidently is
believer in the Immortality Of States;" that
''once in the Union always in the Union"
and consequently the Southern States have
never severed their relations with the federal
government. His theory is, the rebellion
broke down the State government of Georgia
and terminated its existence, but the existence
of the State itself was not affected, and now
it only remains to build up the State govern
ment anew. In support of his theory Mr..
Alderman shows that the continued existence
of the rebel States has always been recog-
nized by the general government; that they
have in no case been alluded to as conquered or
rebel territory, but as States, which indicates
either an objectionable confusion of terms OR
an acknowledgment that Georgia still is and
ever has been Sin the Union"
