fees Of the State, County and Town
ship Treasnrers and C0llectOrs would
amount to a. much as Il now costs e
collect the Federal revenue. !.
The whole expense Of supporting
the General Government, would
under the State plan Of collection
fall on real and personal properly,
and every State would contribute
according to its relative population,
and not in proportion to its relative
wealth. All Custom Hopses Would
he abolished, and no revenue would
be derived from duties on imports
Suppose the system advocated bj
the Iowa Democracy were adopted,
how long would it be before;suell
Democratic States as Kentucky, New
Jersey, Tennessee, California and
Virginia would refuse To- assess and
collect the proportion Of the money
necessary to support the Federal
Government, meet interest on the
debt, pay pensions, and other ex-
penses? 1t Is questionable whether
they would pay even the first years
taxes under the system. And there
would come excitement, crimina-
tions, defiance, and, perhaps, civil
war to compel payment. -
The Iowa Democracy have much
to learn before the people OF that
State will entrust them with power.
They must utterly and forever e.
chew and forget tho whole pest leus
doctrine OF Calhounism, which exalts
the subordinate State above the SOW
ereign and national authority. And
they must learn that the National
Government must be conducted by
its own machinery, and the State
Governments by theirs; and that
each must attendto its own business
and functions, and the Federal is the
State Government in which all the
people take part, and transaet-all
their general, national, and foreign
affairs, and that its existence and in
dependence is essentialto the defense
progress and prosperity pf the whole
people. In other words, they must
accept the situation as fixed and de-
tcrmined by the battle-fields Of the
rebellion. The State sovereignty
doctrine was blowhto pieces III 'sths

Collecting U. 3. Taxes through,
the state rovcrnm nts.

Commenting on the Platform
adopted by the recent Democratic
State Convention Of Iowa, the Chica.
60 Tribune says:
The opinion that the convention
did not know what 1t was talking
about Is strengthened by the declar-
alton that 1--WE are In favor Of the
collection of all taxes through the
State Governments"
This, II adopted, would leave the
Federal Government entirely de.
pendent on the will and pleasure Of
the State Governments for the means
OF existence. 1t would be going
back to something worse than the
state or things that existed before the
Federal Constitution was formed,
and would instantly reduce the Ma
tional Government to some kind 0i
a mere valueles confederation, Nv
Ing on the aims Of the States. This

rebel doctrine Of State sovereignty,
which the waroverthrew and crushed
out. II put into practice, It would
degrade the American Union to the
divided, distracted, helpless condi-
ton that Germany was in for Gen.
fury before Sadowa.
But the reasons given for this
most absurd and disunion proposition
is that, "the Federal Government
bqs to support an army Of office
holders to enforce and collect Its
revenues" It would take Just q
large an army Of State of9ce-holdes
to assess and collect the duties and

were levied on real and personal

Reforms in raeaa Making.

Perhaps there Is no Office within
the gin OF the people whose incum-
bent Is selected with SO little regard
to his fitness or qualifications as that
Of path-master, road overscer, or
highway surveyor. The questions
seem never to come up in nominating
a man for this position, Has he had
experience in this kind Of business?
Is he an expert In the sort of work
he is going to superintend? Has he
the requisite executive ability to
direct a considerable number Of men
and teams so that their labor may be
expended to the best advantage?
Would you select him rs the best
man in the neigbb0rhood to saperin-
tend'an extensive Improvement on
your own place, with the full expec-
tation that it would be well done?
No, these questions are never asked.
if indeed they ara over thought of.
As the thing Is usually done it is
probable that there would beas much
certainty Of getting good officer by
casting lots as Ivy casting ballots.
There are certain local customs which
prevail in different communities in
relation to the selection OF the over
seer of highways. Sometimes the
Office Is given to tire man who moved
into the district last; in other places
ii IL given to the LATEST man or to
the homeliest one; the mnn who was
married last, or who was recently
Tilted. We lived in district once
where the Office was given one year
toa m,nr with ono leg, for the reason
that fe being rather slow Of pnce,
and the district a long one, the gang
OF men and boys would have ample
time 10 amuse themselves In peellng
slivers from pine trees while he was
on toursof observation in some other
locality. AS the whole matter Of
working out the highway tax Is
usually regarded as a good joke, 1t
Is doubtless thought appropriate to
extend 1t to the selection Of The
ovprseer.
More frequently than any Of the
ways we have mentioned, however,
the Office is taken in rotation, SO that
II there Is any honor attached to IL
every one can have his ambition
gratified; or II 1t be considered task
then each able-bodied man can take
his turn In performing it.
1t Is obvious that by this arrange
ment whatever experience Is gained
by ono person In any given year Il
lost, sincc next season some one else
will come into power WHO'S an entire
novice In the art 0f road making and
who In all probability will spend
much time in undoing what was
done the year before. 1t IL to he re-
GREETED that there are not some good
popular treatises on the laying out,
building and repairing roads, which
are especially adapted to the use Of
highway surveyors. Such q work
purchased ut the expense OF the State
and put Into the hands Of each dis
trict officer, would be Of incalculable
benefit to the community.
In the absence Of such works as we
have mentioned, however, it Is obvi-
Gus that whatever knowledge ,is
gained on the subject Of road MAX
ing, must be. acquired by expesieaoe.
Hence, the term Of Office Of high
way surveyor should be a long one
or else when the right man Is found
he should be continued In Misplace
for series Of years.

The excitement on Carondelet street
yesterday wss sharp and sudden rise IN
Slaughterhouse stock. Night before last
it closed at %. Yesterday morning it
opened at 2233, and jumped at once to 49,,
and before noon had reached "a. In the
afternoon it stood at Is, and was quoted
at this figure when the board opened. In
the board, on the itst call, It sold up to
e, and, on the second call, there was
general scramble for it, everything that
was offered being rapidly taken up at 2S.
After the board lot of 100 shares chang
ed hands at the advanced rate of 20.
Ship Island likewise took sudden start
upward, and was sold at all sorts of prices,
ranging from 100 to 175. The movement
WAS sudden and brief, for the superior
claims of Slaughterhouse overshadowed
everything else during the afternoon
The following were the transactions at
the board, last night:

SALE Of JACKsOH RAILROAD STOCK.

The proposals for the purchase of the
Jackson Railroad stock held by the State
will be opened in the Governors Office
to-day at twelve o'clock, and tie sale
awarded to the highest bidder. In conse-
quence of the failure Of Mr.. Mount to ad-
verise the sale of the stock owned by the
city in this road, that interest is III appa-
rently hopeless i6gation.> Had lie taken
the course adopted by Governor Warmoth
in the matter of the States railroad stock,
the whole question would have been
settled before The eighteenth instant, the
day fixed for the annual election of di-
rectors. If tie stock offered by the State
falls into the hands of those who hold the
city stock, they will have full control Of
the road.
We notice that q resolution has been
adopted by the board Of directors of the
road, directing the secretary to close the
stock transfer books or Monday next until
after the election. Ii this is in accordance
with law, all right; if not, Judge Dibble
may send up polite request to open the
books. 1t looks very much as though the
present board we're laying their plans SO
as to run the concern another year, OF at
least as long as possible. A great deal
will depend upon whoever buys the State
stock at the sale to-day.

The exercises at the Hall of Represen-

General Thomas. were in full accord with
the occasion. All the Departments of the
Government were represented by their
chief men. There was no distinction of
party, the most prominent Democrats of
the House and Senate being in attendance.
The addresses were solid and earnest, like
the man who was the subject of them
Nothing seemed done for effect, but both
speakers and the vast audience showed
that the tribute paid was from the heart.
The building was filed to overlooking, and
Washington did all the Capital of the Ma

A very pleasant social gathering of the
State Board of Education took place
yesterday, at dinner given by State Su-

feeling was manifested and mutual good
wishes expressed by the members, about
to separate and retire to their respective
spheres of labor. They will, doubtless,
often recur to the occasion with great
pleasure, in the midst of the cares and
duties appertaining to their responsible
positions. We are much prepossessed

Private letters received here from San
Domingo do not show that there was en-
tire unanimity, by any means, in the vote
for annexation. 1t seems that persons
were required to write their names when
they voted. and an agent of Baez, who
is now in Washington. on being asked
about those who could not write answered
that few of them offered to vote.
