The Coming Eiections-The Issues

Congress and the Administration are max
Ing up n record which will insure success to
the Democrats in the contest for the next
House provided the latter exhibit good
sense in their conduct of the campaign.
The Democrats can present before the peo-
pie fearfully long indictment against the
Republicans for their sins of omission and
commission since Gen GRANT took the oath
Of office For example:
The Republicans, Us a party, have not
shown the slightest sympathy for the Gu.

on the contrary, have humbled our Govern

meanest dcspotisms in Europe, bartering

When Congress is in session, and en-

These smaller colleges, by Hdhcring TO a
standard Of scholarship 81 mcwhot inferior to
that Of their greater sisters, and lacking for
the most part that academic influence which
makes itself 80 much felt at Cambridge and
Now Haven, creep along in their existence
without doing half the good within their
power. Let them raise the standard of re-
CURED scholastic attainment until it shall be
rroportionatcly as high as that at the School

We nrc fully convinced that the colleges
throughout the land could take no other step

The idea of raising the American Minister
at ST. James's to the rank Of an Ambassador is
not new. 1t was proposed during the administra-
ton OF the State Department by Mr.. SEWARD
but that great man responded in such a manner
that it never came up again during his time.
Now it is revived by Mr.. MORLEY, who appears to
have assured Lord CLARENDON that Gen. GRAsr
and Mr.. Fisu have agreed to make the change.
From whom did Mr.. MORLEY receive this informu-
ton IL it possible that Mr. FISH, in view of his
own probable transfer TO that post, encouraged
Mr. MORLEY to make such representation
however, il makes no great difference for Mr.
Morley is soon to come home, and nobody can
say that Mr.. Fish will succeed him until his
nomination has been confirmed by the Senate.

We have n report that the Franciscan
monk HoTzL, who las become conspicuous as
the advocate Of the views of DoLLrNGER in oupo.
siron to the dogma of infallbility, has been i'm
prisoued by order Of the Pope in n narrow cell
in one Of the Franciscan convent, of Rome.
The heat il said 10 be so intense in this place Of
confinement that the prisoner is exposed TO the
danger Of speedy death; and corrcs pendent
sends us vehement cutlery against the cruelty
of Catholicism and the deadly revenge which 1t
practi,cs, notwithstanding the preccpts Of the
Gospel, In reply, let us say that the facts
alleged against Pro NoNo in this case are not
proved and We are by no means certain that the
Pope has been guilty Of any such severity toward
Horn as is attributed to him. Besides, if il
should be proved that the Pope has been guilty
of such atrocity, It would not be just to charge
the sin upon the Church Of which lie is the
official head. Catholicism teaches that, as an in
diyidual, any priest or bishop, or any Pope, may
be guilty Of wicked and sinful actions but in
such a case lie violates the law Of his religion,
but the Church is not responsible for the deed.
And though he may not be dealt with for the
offence by any human tribunal, he will not
escape that unerring punishment which awaits
al sinners hereafter.

The reason why the deduction of five Per
cent from coupons and dividends continues to
be made, notSiths, anding the expiration OF the
income tax, is to found in the peculiar word
ine Of the Internal Revenue act. While 1t is said
that the tax on incomes shall be collected " on or
b. fore the SQih day Of June in each year. until and
including the year 1870 and no longer" no such
limitation is contained in the sections relating TO
dividends and interest. In those sections 1t is
simply said that " there shall BE- levied aud col.
lectcd 4 tax of FIVE per centum on all dividends"
Of any bank, trust company, savings institution,
and Of any fire, marine, life, or inland insurance
company, and that any railroad, canal, turnpike,
canal navigation, or sackwster con pany, which
has issued bonds or other evidences of debt
bearing interest " shall be subject to pay tax
Of five per centum on the amount Of such inter
est, or coupons, OF Dividends" and ore at the
same time authorized 10 deduct and withhold the
tax from the p0yees, Until, therefore, these sec
tons are amended or repealed, the holders Of
stocks and bonds Of the class OF companies de-
scrbed must submit; TO the loss of the five per
cent, while others will be exempt. So long as
all incomes were liable 10 tax of five per cent,
there was no hardship in this discrimination but
if the income tax is not to be maintained at the
old rate there will be an injustice which Con-
gress should not omit TO remedy
