THE COMING CAMPAIGN IN Mary
LAND.-The Republicans of Maryland
are preparing for stirring campaign
this summer and fall, and they ex press
themselves confident of being able to re-
deem the State. The present members
of the House, all of whom wish to be
candidates again, are rather uneasy at
the prospect before them Benjamin
G. Harris, who was member of the
Thirty ninth Congress from the Fifth
District of Maryland, has announced
himselfa candidate for the Forty second
Congress in opposition to Mr.. Stone,
present mem er. Harris is rampant
rebel, and will run as All independent
Democrat, favoring resistance to the
Fifteenth Amendment. Stone willrun
on the regular Democratic ticket, and
as he negro voters in the district are
nearly equal In number TO the whites
Republican Congressman wall evil
IDENTITY be elected. 4 late canvass Of
the state shows $4,000 black voters,
and about $4,000 white Republican vc-
tiers. TIE Democrats cannot poll over
10000 voters, which will make the
state close, with the chances in favor Of
the Republicans, Union Leagues havs
been in existauee throughout the state,
and political clubs are now forming -

To-day, in the Senate, our Senator

upon Georgia. and in defense of the

The five constitutional points
touched upon by tie Judge in that

THRONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BoUN-
TY.-The question as to what class of
soldiers are entitled to the one hun bred
dollar bounty under the recent decis-
ion of the United States Supreme
Court, is at present eliciting much in
terest throughout the country The
following points have been submitted
to the Second Comptroller for bis de-
eision
'Under the act of July %, 1861,
soldiers who were honorably discharg-
ed to accept promotion, after having
served two years, were paid the 500
bounty. Why, under the recent de
clsion of the Supreme Court, are not
soldiers who enlisted prior to that act,
under the Presidents proclamation Of
May 5, 1869, entitled to 500 bounty,
whether they served two years or not,
and whether sleh service was as an en-
listed man or otherw. Sc The contract
with the United States was that they
should receive 500 bounty when
honorably discharged Is not a pro-
motion an honorable discharge 2"
The Comptroller answers the above
question as follows:
THE decision Of this Office was
against payment of bounty even in the
cases arising under the act OF July %,
1861, Oh the ground that when one
party releases the other from the obll-
CATION Of a contract for the benefit of
the latter, there is the end of the
greemeht; for it would be one-sided
law that would hold one and discharge
the other. But as many payments
had been made before the subject was
brought to the notice of the Treasury
Department, the practice was not dis
turbed. In the cases now presented
the decision was made IN tmsne, aud
| payment Of bounty to officers promot-
ed from the ranks, the Government
yielding the service it had a right to
demand under their contracts of enlist
ments for the benefit of the off GER, was
held to be ineqaitable and illegal, and
it Is not sanctioned by the opinion of
the Supreme Court"

aHE lSCUME TAX.

TIE as taxing incomes Of more than
$1,000, fee per cent, expires by lin
itltion this year, and the friends and
opponents Of the measure are busily at
work on the future fate Of the bill
There appears to be a marked opposi-
ton to the law all over the country
and yet the law as it now stands, is not
without ito strong advocates The bill
to continue the income tax passed the
house in a modified form, reducing the
rate. we believe, to 8 per eeat instead
Of 5 rer cent. When it came before
the Senate, that body went still further,
passing an amendment increasing the
amount of exemption. We see moth
ing very unjust in this Law We
have always considered it measure
that effects the wealthy without work
ing any injustice whatever to the poor
man. Let the wealth bear It's part pro-
portionally Of taxation. 5 me taxes
are clearly odious and vexatious, and
the entire people would be benefited
BY their repeal. Abolish the income
tax aud these odious and unpopular
taxes would have to remain to make up
for the deficiency occasioned By the r.
peal of the income tax.
It may, perhaps, be unknown to our
readers that SO few pay a tax of this
kind. The total number of persons
who paid income tax was 272,843; OF
this number over 107 900 paid $40 or
less, and if the exemption were raised
to 1000, as the Senate amendment
proposes, that class would be cut OH
The second class, that paid between
twenty and fifty dollars, numbers o9,-
l84 the third class that paid between
$50 and 500, numbered II 1876; the
fourth class, that paid between 500
and 5000, numbered over 45, 900: and
those who paid over $500 numbered
g,464 The amendments offered to
the bill by the Senate, will not be con-
cured in BY the House, aud it is not
unlikely that q new bill in detail will be
presented by the Ways and Means
Committee of the House in due time.
