directly" to many "direot" questio1 as, not
about numbers of persons in his State, but
about the number Of dollars of income which
have come directly into his hands each year.
All this is not 'in proportion to the census
or enumeration hereinbefore directed to be
taken, of the number of persons in any State
of this Union, but, on the contrary, this law
asks for dollars of man, not as person,
but because he has had more than certain
number of dollars in one year.
We hope sincerely that our lawmakers will
agree to abolish this tax forthwith upon CON
stitutional if upon no other grounds. It has
been submitted to pltiently, without any
serious inquiry into its character, because it
was believed to be a necessity growing out Of
an extraordinary occasion. That occasion
no longer exists, and the law is rightly con-
sidered to be unjust, oppressive, and inquisi-
torial. There is no reason whatever why it
should be longer continued, and those MEM
bers of Congress who exert themselves most
zealously to have it done away with without
further delay will be most certain of gaining
the favor of their constituents and in securing
further favors from them.

~ THE EVENING TELEGRAPH, from
its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists OF
the Tribune, Times, Herald, pp0rIa,
SIN, 1on,naE Of Commerce, EVeHing P0Sf
Commercial AdveytiSer, and EVenfTg Et-
press. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, sufficient evi-
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia-
bility of the news which we have received
from this source. We have now entered
into a special contract by which THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own men,

SHERMAN ON SHERIDAE.-General Sherman has
written reply to the letter OF Lieutenant-General
Sheridan referring to the attack on the Pegans and
our Indian affairs generally, which we published
yesterday. 1t will be seen that General Sherman
sustains Sheridan and The officers under his COM
mand without reserve, while he deprecates the
severe criticisms that have been bestowed upon
them ON account OF the affair with the Piegans.
General Sherman is fully conversant with the din
culties OF the Indian situation and his Views are
entitled to respectful consideration. The letter to
Sheridan is as follows:-

Piegan massacre as trumped up by interested
parties at Benton, more than hundred miles
on rather than the oficial report OF Colonel
Baker, who was on tue spot, aud is the responsible

AN AFRICAN PREsIDENT.-We publish to-
day the inaugural address of Edward James
Roye, the fifth President of the Republic of
Liberia, in West Africa. 1t was delivered
before the National Legislature in joint con-
vention at Monrovia on the Sd of January
last. We have been favored with a copy
printed at the Government Printing Office"
The message treats of finance, labor, rail
roads, national bank, general education, i'm
migration, the native tribes, and the future
of Liberia AS republicans we rejoice in the
success of the African republic. As friends
of the African race we rejoice to see nation
growing in power which bids fair to do a work
in Africa similar to the work of the Anglo
Saxon in America. AS soon as the ratihca-
tion of the fifteenth amendment is promul-
gated, our fellow-citizens of African descent
will take deeper interest in the land of their
fathers. The benevolent men who founded
Liberia, by aiding those who desired to re-
turn to their fatherland, may well rejoice in
the great good already accomplished, and can
anticipate still richer and larger success in the
years to come.

THE INCOME TAX.

THERE is very serious doubt whether any
United States income tax is constitutional,
for the Constitution, in Article I, Section 8,
and fourth paragraph, says;-''No capitation
or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in pro-
portion to the census or enumeration herein
before directed to be taken" What is the
enumeration hereinbefore directed to be
taken2" The answer is found in tho third
paragraph of section 2 of the same article,
Representatives and direct taxes shall
be apportioned among the several States
which may be included within this Union,
according to their respective numbers, which
shall be determined by adding"-persons and
not dollars.
We think all will coneede that our 'income
tax" is very ''direct tax" 1t is tax, for
the law names it such; it is direct tax, fei
the law goes straight for every person who
has certain number of dollars income dur
ing each year. And one must swear

The TREASURY DEPARTMENT has had a
table prepared which proves that the entire
national debt would be cancelled in twenty
three and a half years by sinking fund
capital of $25, 900, 900 per annum, while a
capital of 500, ,O0O,O 900 psr annum' which is
about the present rate of liquidation, would
extinguish the entire debt in five years. No
stronger argument in favor of great reduc-
ton of taxation could be framed. If the
existing generation, after suffering all the
miseries of the war, effects material reduc-
in the public debt before it passes from the
stage of action, this will be all that posterity
can in justice require. But as matters
are now progressing, the same men who
crushed the Rebellion on ensanguined fields,
and the same people who mourn the loss OF
kindred and the desolaGon of their homes,
will be compelled to defray the entire pecu'
MARY cost of the conflict, and to submit to
the most onerous taxation that human inge-
nuity ever devised. Twenty-Five millions pei
annum may be easily spared as sinking
fund, but it would be cruel and unjust foi

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE. AT the Academy
of Music last evening, Professor Robert Il.
Rogers, of the University of Pennsylvania,
delivered lecture on "Chemica Forces"
which proved TO be one of the most enter
tanning and instructive that has ever been
listened to in this city. The grand masquerade
of the elements was mlrshaled before the
audience in a way that was at once Amusing
and startling. Heat was made to produce
cold, and cold heat; liquids were trans
formed into solids, gases into liquids, and then
into solids; quicksilver, which freezes at a tenn
perature of forty degrees below zero, was
solidified almost instantaneously by the
pound and various other experiments, COM
plicated in their details but simple in their
results, were conducted on a scale that ena-
bled every person in the spacious building
to appreciate them to the fullest extent. Per-
haps the most noticeable of all the expert
ments were those connected with the artificial
manufacture of ice, the entire practicability
of which was demonstrated so clearly that the
mere remembrance of the occasion will be re-
freshing in the coming summer heat. Such a
lecture as that delivered by Professor Rogers
last evening is worth as much as half dozen
of the ordinary class, as means of educat-
ing the masses and inspiring them with de-
votion to the cause of science and the more
we have the better. We trust that Professor
Rogers will be induced either TO repeat the
lecture of last evening or, what would per-
haps be still better, to give continuation of
it, so that the experiments which he was pre-
pared to make last evening, but was pre-
vented from doing by the lateaess of
the hour, may not be slost to
the public. The success which has at
tended the lectures given at the Academy by
Professor Henry Morton, as well as by Pro-
fessor Rogers, has been SO decided that we
have no doubt regular course devoted ex-
clusively to experimental science would draw
as large houses as are attracted by the trashy
sensational plays of the period. We COM
mend the scheme to the protector of the re-
markably successful ''Star" course which is
about closing.

The STATE House of Representatives yes
terdaY did a good stroke of business in the
matter of distribution of Bates History of
the Pennsylvania Volunteers" The bill
authorizing the completion of this work, and
providing for its distribution by the Superin-
tendent of the Public Schools among the
libraries of the Common School districts, was
considered, and a substitute offered by Mr..
White, distributing the books among the
Senators, members, and Clerks of this and
the next Legislature, the cost of the book not
to exceed five dollars per volume, and each
set to contain five volumes, the Senators to
receive twenty sets each. This substi-
tute was carried by 61 ayes to 26 noes. In
comparison with some of the other iniquities
perpetrated by the Legislature, this particular
swindle is of comparatively little moment,
but it is an excellent example of the utter
recklessness with which the public money is
wasted at Harrisburg.
The preparation of this history was job
for the especial benefit of Bates, and, if the
State has to pay for the work any how, the
distribution of the books among the members
of the Legislature is probably the best thing
that can be done with them. 1t is barely
possible that some of our noble Senators and
Representatives may read this work when
they find themselves in possession of one hun
dred copies, and as ii is tolerably certain that
nobody else will, it is gratifying to think that
the labor of the author may not be altogether
thrown away. If Bates has done his work
properly, our Legislators may, by perusing the
stories of the noble deeds of our volunteers,
learn some lessons of virtue that they sadly
need.

THAT progressive "family of color" the anlnes
has begotten us another beautiful member whose
complexion shines with golden hue. We shall
soon derive all the tnts of the chromatlc scale from
the coal. tar extract. The new offspring has been
christened VeSuUine by its discoverer, NJ. Knosp It
promises to give to sken, cotton, and woollen
fabrics all shades OF yellow, from bright orange to
bright brown. We are not told now it was brought
to light; whether by intention or accident like some
other members OF its family. That splendid green
that dressmakers and their patrons know as ''gas
green" was stumbled upon by lucky luke. A
certain DYER Chlrpin by name was trying to turn to
practical account o. blue anlllne compound that
baled all attempts to render It fast 1t was a ine
color, but there was fixing It, Chirpin tried all
he could think Of without success. One day he told
his troubles to a friend, who was n photographer;
and this worthy, without any knowledge OF dyeng or
chemistry, suggested that as he, to "nx" his pic
lures, used hyposuphite OF Soda this same salt
might FIX the blue dye The suggestion was made
from blind faith in the power OF his hxer to make
everything lasting. Well, without hope Of success,
Chirrin made trial Of It, Imagine his astonish-
ment at seeing his 1eeting blue change under the
soda salts influence to gorgeous green. And the
best OF 1t was that the new color was fast one at
least as fast as any OF the anne family, for they
not very stable lot so, ye ladies, who shine In
adehyde, give your thanks to the unwlse but faithful
