Ia, srxAr. ha, struck out the income

Tas SsxAr. has struck out the incom'
tax clause of the revenue Law by verJ
decided vote. We arc on praying
ground. The consummation intended
is one devoutly to be wished. II there
is backbone in the Senate, this repeal
will be adhered 10. If there is q pre-.
vailiag sense of what the country re
quires, in the House, it will be sustained
there. Thus can justice be done to the
country and a long step taken toward
the preservation of the Republican
party's dominancy. The longer the
eight continues the more friends will be
found on the side of repeal. Congress
was never so perplexed as now. Dem
ocfats as well as Republicans are divid
ed amongst themselves. Local and
conflicting interests is what's the mat
ter. One thing should be entirely
clear. The repeal of the income tau is
demanded by all parties. The debates
on it in Congress, Sargent's able and
iucisive arguments especially, have
shown the people that while this tax is
levied and collected with shameful un-
fairness, there is no need of its collec-
ton at all. En- other words, the credit
of the country is assured "while this
cruel war is over" Green5aeks are
within eight or nine cents Of par value.
Let the Pacific coast and other parts
where there is an insuf6ciency of the
medium have more green
backs and more banking capital, abol-
ish the income saz, and cut down the
Tariff, and where the pressure rs the
hardest things will be easy; and the
friends of the country will be fixed to
make a consis,en, fight for the suprrm
acy of men aud principles which are
needed to keep Copperhead bands from
he throat of the Government. Wisdom
lad ssgaci'y are needed at Washington.
Let's hope they may be exhibited in q
way before Congress ad-
ourns.

| TIE SILVER STARS vs. THE EAGLEs.-
&c contains a detailed account of the frs,
game Of the home and home series play
ed on Saturday, between the Silver Star
Base Ball Club of Carson and the Eagles
of San Francisco. Our space will not
admit of the Chronicles report in full.
We make the following extracts as show
ing the circumstances under which the
game ives played and the scores of the
contestants
A match game Of baseball was played at
the Recreation Grounds yesterday afternoon
between the Silver Stars Of Nevada and the
Eagles of this city for the championship Of
the Pacific coast. The game was announced
to- commence at half past ora O'Clock; but
owing to the non-arrival of some of the play
ers, time was not called until nearly two
O'Clock. At that hour about five hundred
persons had assembled, and an umpire being
chosen, the game commemorative Silver
Stars going to the bat.
The game was not as exciting as is usually
the case. and but little good playing was done
on either side. Beals, the pitcher of the Sill
yer Stars, gained the laurels Of the day for
his remarkable pitching. With :he exception
of Brainard, of the Red Stockings, he is the
best pitcher we have ever seen in the State.
He stands firm, and in pitching the ball gives
the impetus with his arm entirely, with a
peculiar twist of the wrist, which gives It the
appearance Of jerk. Berthrong, the catch
er, did very well, and made the bes, score Of
any of the members of the Club. Stroud,
Taylos and Curren, ofthe Eagles, all did
During the entire game the wind was blowing
very strong, and the clouds of dust rendered
the playing uncomfortable to both the par
Elephants and spectators.

Texas ELECTION. - Notwithstanding
2O,OO0 white majority in Texas and the
overwhelming sentiment of opposition to
Radicalism among the intelligent classes,
the election has been so managed by the
Radical military ruler as to give success
to his party in obedience to the decree at
Washington. The Radical power with
their corrupt appliances and the bayonet,
have been able to force reconstruction on
Radical basis; but they cannot build
upon such agencies permanent Radical
party. The people are all unfettered in
future elections; and viii sweep these frail
structures of corruption and despotism
aside as chaf is swept by the wind. In
the case of Texas, Gov. Pease and other
well known gentleman have made written
protest to the President against the legal
| ity of the recent election in that
State. and ask that an official investigation
of the subject be ordered. The Texas
papers inform us that in some places
fraudulent votes were cast for the Radical
ticket, while even the legal votes for the

By reference to the proceedings OF
Thursdays meeting, it will be seen that
this movement has been fairly started
here by proper and effective system OF
organization. The Association has a
small beginning, it is true; but inspired
by the necessities of the public, it will
continue to grow. The administration
which is coming into power, is pledged to
give to the introduction of capital and Ia
Dor, the aid of the State; but the people
cannot afford to wait the tardy action of
the Legislature. Individually and col
lectively, they must put their shoulders
to the wheel and push forward the move
ment with the energy they possess. Cap
ital is much needed; but labor is needed
more. The latter by increasing the pro-
ductive recources of the State, will create
capital. What is required is an efficient
system to develop our State; and the work
must be taken in hand by those who are
most interested.

From the Bucyrus (Ohio) Forum.
The RumbIin2s of the Volcano

Let it ever be remembered that to Hon.
William Mungen, of Ohio, belongs the dis
tinguished honor of striking the first blow
in Congress in favor of reputation of the
Ubiquitous and fraudulent civil war debt of
the United States. His speech, delivered in
the House of Representatives December Ia,
1869, has created the profoundest sensation
that has been felt in that body of small
souled men for many years. We shall do
ourselves the honor, and confer upon our
readers the favor of publishing all its ma
terial points in our next issue, and solicit
for it thorough and thoughtful perusal.
The speech alluded to is a masterpiece
of logic. Its delivery led to the passage
OF resolution by the House of Represen-
tatives repudiating reputation, where
upon the fund mongers' organs have set
up great rejoicing and are Boosting that
the ''heresy" is ''dead and buried" But
it will come up again.

A powerful argument in favor of the
immigration movement exists in the fail
ure of what is known as the system of
cropping ON shares. The present cooper
alive plan of planting has been attended
with injurious results to the agricultural in
terests of the State A brief trip in any
direction through the cotton belt must de-
monstrate this fact to any one who has
not personally experienced it. Take, for
example, the region bordering upon the
line ofthe railroad, between jackson and
Vicksburg. 1t is marked characters
tic of the present Cor now past) season,
that,the months of the first ten weeks were
favorable beyond all precedent for gath
ering cotton: and yet large fields are, on
this, the 9th day of January, literally
white with the feecy staple. This back
wardness in gathering is not attributable
to superintendent crop. On the contra
nv, it may be safely assumed that not ex-
ceeding one-third as much was grown In
the same region last year as IN 1861.
The crop compared with past results was
therefore failure. The cause can only
be attributed to the lack of regular, III
telligent, systematised labor.
Under the copartnership plan, the
proprietors have no control over the per-
sons employed to use their capital.
MANY of the laborers who raised the
crops, short as they were, have found 9th
er places, and for want of proper ap-
prehension of their obligations and Of
their real interests, have abandoned them
to waste in the fields, and have obtained
new homes, in which to commit the same
folly in 1870.
The statement seems incredible, bu
there are numerous examples of it.
truth.
Cotton in the seed at the present rates
is worth at least five cents per pound. Al
expert hand can gather at this season
where it is thick on the stalk, $50 pounds
worth 81 so, of which the cropper's shar'
if he receive one-half, would amount t,
SO rs; and yet this sum is virtual,
thrown away, and the laborer, contente'
with the profits already realized, and tn
satisfaction of present necessities, goes OF
in search of new pastures, leaving tn
employer without remedy.
There is another and a stronger reason
When the proprietor abandons the con
troll of lands, he loses the means of keep
ing them in proper repair: The fence
go to decay. The bitches are filed up
or choked with underground. The team
are lost by ill-treatment. The tools wit
which the crops are made, are destroyed
And desolation broods where the scene

manded.

The Louisville Courier-Journal remarks
from the vindictive and partizan spirit
displayed by Congress the present session,
that the admission of this State in the
event of the success of the Conservative
Republicans, would have been indefinite
ly postponed. We can pledge better
when the case of Virginia is decided If
the Courier-Journal can demonstrate the
fact it assumes, We are prepared to admit
that the election of Alcorn, even if the
worst come of it that was predicted, is
preferable to the success of his COMPETE
tor, on the ground that the rule of Ames
is worse than Radical rule in any other
possible form. Besides relief from
Ames, it will secure at least some sub
stance of civil government and the right
of the people to select their own agents
in:the next electionfree from military inter-
ference. There will be no more importa-
ton of corruptionists to manipulate the
ballot-box.

Whatever disagreeable sensations would
under ordinary circumstances be realized
from the assembling of a Legislature
with large majority of its members from
the Radical party, which is deservedly
the synonym of all that is vile and hateful
to our white population, they will be
more than compensated by the reflection
that it is the signal for forward step
from under the rule of Ames whose
chief end next to giving success to the
Radicals has been to infict upon them
the most loathsome and humiliating con-
ditions of despotism.
1t is by this comparison of evils that
We have all along mhesitatingly main
tanned that reconstruction under any form
which would secure civil government
would be preferable to the government of
a military ruler whose unbridled will is
the measure of his power over the lives,
liberties and property of the people.
We suppose the first act of the Legis-
lature will be to ratify the 18th amend
ment, which declares that no State
shall exclude any class of its pop
ulation from the privilege of suf-
frage on account of color or previ-
Gus condition of servitude. The 18th
amendment is already a part Of the con-
stitution, and we infer that the form of
ratifying it as contemplated in the orig
inal acts of reconstruction, viii be dis
pensed with.
In further token that the State has put
on the wedding robes, and is ready for
the marriage feast under the new Radi-
cal dispensation, doubtless two U. s.
Senators of approved ''loyalty" will be |
elected. The applicants for these places
are numerous and rumor assigns one of
them to Gen. Ames himself who is sup
posed to have accomplished more than
all the others combined in winning the
victory. This was an easy task. With
the cards in his hands, he could find no
difficulty in packing them to suit his par
tizan and selfish purposes. Among the
multitude of Adventures for the other
place, rumor does not mention the proba-
bly, lucky person.
When these results, together with the
of the farce of the popular cleo
ton, are communicated to Congress. it is
supposed that Beast Butler having been
fully propitiated and being entirely salts
fed, that Mississippi is truly loyal'
State, viii decree her admission into the
Union. The Legislature win re-assemble
and the Radical carnival viii begin.
