Knckerbocker Ice Companies for the possession of ten
carloads of ice from Shaker Village, detained at Hudson

The Income Tax.

The Union League Club on Thursday
evening adopted, with some notifications,
the excellent resolutions upon tn is subject
which we published the other day What is
essential in them Is the following
Rooitsd That the act Of Congress providing that
1.7n and no Longer" Is a solemn CONNECT with Tie
people, which good faith requires should be sacredy
observed.
Resoired, tt in this country labor can in no
sense be considered capital subject to taxation,
and that there 10 now no imminent peril to the pub
lie credit requiring that saares wages and labor In
its various forms shall be subjected TO onerous, dis
eliminating. and inquisitorul taxation.
Resotred, That an income tax, as embodied In the
bill which recently passed the House Of Rcpresen.
tatives upon income derived from profits OF capital
In trade or business, or In the form Of Invested
property, and levied solely upon income above a
line OF exemption which In fact exempts more than
fourhiths of the income Of the same class OF accu
will be imposed less than 10000 persons, Is an
act OF arbitrary exaeiion, violating the great aud
the law, and wholly unwarranted In the present
peaceful and prosperous condition OF the country.
These arc the most sensible ideas that
have been put forth upon this subject since
the discussion began. If they had emanatcd
from any man conspicuous in politics or
prominent in the Administration as, for in.
stance, Secretary boutwell,, they would
have gone far to make him President.
The proposition that labor ought 10 be en-.
tsrely exempt from taxation is one worthy Of
the highest praise. II is kind Of axiom, a
self.cvident truth and he would be bold
man who should undertake to dispute it.
This principle being admitted, it follows
that all wages and salaries should be exempt
from taxation and that the bill which has
passed the House of Representatives sins
against the essential principles Of political
science.
If an income tax is to be levied at all it is
manifest that il ought only to be imposed
npon the profits of capital invested either in
renl estate or in trade or business To
such a tax there sh6nld be no exception
whatever. What justice is there IN taxing
capital in one form and exempting it in an-
other2 Labor ought to be free from taxa
ton, and all capital ought to be taxed and
the exception Of any class of capital
amounts to robbery and confscation Of the
other classes from which the tax is exactcd.
Let the Senate. when II comes to act upon this
question, give heed to these simple and true
principles, and the result will be more
creditable than that which has been reached
in the House

Nothing like Foolishness.

Next to the corruption of President
GRANTS rule, the most striking feature of
his administration is its folly. The corrup-
ton is evinced in appointments of men to
office in consideration of presents. The folly
is evinced in the appointment of men like
BONE, robson, and ACKERMAN.
The time was when Gen. GRANT had com
mon sense, and displayed it in a remarkable
degree. This was when he was an UMPIRE
tending soldier. Since then he has become
n great man, and nattcry and lucre have
turned his head Then he was not above
following the advice Of n man Of noble In
tellect and character, like JOHN A. RAwLINs
Now, if he follows any ones advice, it is that
of creatures like DENT.
: One of the greatest acts of folly which thu
president has committed is the nomination
Of AMOS T. AcKERMAN as Attorney. General

The spanish Idea Of Abolition.

Some two weeks ago news reached us by
telegraph from Madrid that Mr.. MoRET, the
Colonial Minister, had introduced bill into
the Cortes for the gradual abolition Of slav'
cry in all Spanish colonies. The terms of
the bill, as condensed for Geographic trans
m ission, were sufficiently clear to convince
us that the projected plan Of gradual eman-
ripation was but a scheme Of the Spanish
Blaveholders to stave off the evil day, and
possibly to deceive the ph,lanthropists of the
world into the belief that their intentions
were honest.
We are now in possession of the bill itself,
and our impressions are more than con
Hrmed. The telegraph informed us origi'
nally that children born of slave mothers
After tho 18th of September 1868, the day OF
the rising Of Cad!z, were to DO free Arti
rles @, 7, 8, and of the bill give the owners
Of the slave mothers power over the children

The negroes in tho South require at once
large number Of competent secular school teach
ers-thosc who can readily impair, the knowledge
which they have acquired. rather than those who,
possessing great knowledge, cannot with facility
distinctly convey any part Of it to the minds Of
others--to displuce the hundreds Of incompetent
persons who undertook teaching school simply be-
cause il afforded them livelihood. There are
many white parents in the South who tire preju-
diced against sending their children to white pub
lie schools, but send them to Insignificant private
establishments where the facilities for acquiring
knowledge arc necessarily exceedingly limit d.,
The anne thing formerly occurred in 81. Louis
but the public schools were SO much more ably
conducted than the private ones, and the teachers
| in the former were SO much more competent than
thosa In the latter, that a change soon came; and
now the most wealthy families in that city sent
Their children to the public schools. An inter
esting way to stimulate education in the Soutl
would be to make the colored public schools a
en. Gent MS possible. Then the white schools
DO public and privnte-won'd have to come u

Strollers along the avenues, near Forty
second street, any evening about shutdown, are
stopped by vast herds of bullocks, which are
driven about dusk through that street across the
city 10 the slaughter-houscs. The animals are
usually feverish with thirst, having just been
landed from the cars. We have seen them after
a rain stop to lap UP the muddy puddlcs in the
street, aud the excited way in which they crowd
to the pools shows how much they must have suf-
fered on the journey. Would tnot be well to
give the poor beasts access TO n liberal supply of
water after unloading them from the cars? A
it Is. they are almost crazy with thirst, and II is
really dangerous to drive them through the pub

ally ntrustel to the ofwo or three boys, who,

to control them. On Thursday mad bull
coursed down Broadway, scattering the people in

From various Spanish papers and private
letters we compile the following account Of what
We believe TO be the facts regarding The landing
of the g. b. uptons cargo in Cuba. Tho land
ing OF the whole cargo was probably effected on
the night Of the Gath ult., at Puuta Brara, mar
row peninsula between the harbors Of Nuevas
Grandes and Manau, and distant some fifteen
miles from the entrance Of the harbor of Nuey-
tas. II appears that the Upton was chased at
nghtfall by Spanish cruiser and escaped in
shore in the darkness. A coasting schooner
on the morning Of the 25th hailed
the gunboat Yumuri, which was cruising
of the shore, and the captain stated that when
| lying at anchor inside Punta Brara on the pre-.
vious night he had witnessed the landing. Or
receipt Of this information the captain Of Thu
gunboat went at suoe TO the spot, and ordered
