The Break and tho Outbreak the Erie
Canal.

Tho Break and the Outbreak on the Erie
Canal.
The eight hundred workmen who have been
repairing the break in the Erie Canal at Fair
port struck for higher wages yesterday,
demanding three dollars a day In place of
their present wages. They ceased work
at once, although the break is still
SO far from being fully repaired that every
hour of its continuance is full of loss to the
people and to the State. The increased wages
was refused and then the strikers commenced
an onslaught upon number of wOrkmen who
consented to resume work at the old rates, and
riot ensued. The contractors took prompt
measures and telegraphed at once for the aid
of National Guardsmen at Rochester. They
were sent at once, and arrived on the scene
last evening. 1t is to be presumed now
that quiet will prevail. The break in the
Erie Canal is very serious matter,
and It needs to be attended to faith
fully and at once to prevent immense damage
ensuing. The laborers at work seized a
moment quite favorable to the successful issue
of their strike, but their doing SO will lead all
honest people to the belief that they were
taking undue advantage Of their employers
needs to Cypress him. And the fact that
this employer is the State, and that many
thrifty, Woodworking canal men are waiting in
idleness until this Erie break is repaired, will
not induce honest people to think any less
hardly of them for it. The prompt measures
L. kxI
the strikers; and the presence Of our hardy
rural militia will teach them probably that,
although they may shirk work themselves, they
will not be allowed to brighten other people
from it.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, May 4. 1871.
In the House OF Commons TO- night the debate on
the budget continued.
Although the increase Of the income tax has In
principle been admitted by majority OF the House
OF Commons the mode and proportion OF tho IN
crease was still an open question
1t Is evident that Parliament has great reluctanco
OF meeting the demands OF The Chancellor OF the
Exchequer as proposed in the budget.
The Increase OF taxation required by Mr.. Lowe
was considered eXorbltant, and VIII fall heavily ON
the poorer classes, already taxed beyond reasonable
proportion
MIR. Gladstone has adhered 60 his declaration to
make no more alterations IN the budget.
The majority Of the House would undoubtedly
have preferred moderate increase OF the income
tax, but as a matter OF policy the liberals were
bound to support the Cabinet.
AS usual, Mr.. Gladstone had to come to the rescue
OF his colleagues and but for his telling speech tho
government might have been defeated upon this
question.
The proceedings were as follows:-
Mr. Torrens advocated five penny income ian
and censured several points in the budget
Mr. Crawford, Governor OF the Bank OF England,
severely criticised other features of the budget.
General discussion followed.
Mr.. Goschen urged the House not to shirk taxa
ton and increase the national debt.
Mr.. Gladstone argued tlat tne House. havin0
adopted various measures proposed by tho govern.
ment for the benefit OF the country should not reect
It's plans for raising the money necessary to carry
them out
Mr.. Disraell retorted ana the debate closed.
The House divided finally on the budget, and lt
| was agreed to, the government having majority
| OF forty-six votes.
The House then adjourned.
The Times OF to-day editorally says the decision
OF the United States Supreme Court In favor OF tho
constitutonality OF the Legal Tender act Is both
unjust ana violent and that it VIII prove misfor-
| tune TO the country.

THE MATCH TAX IN ENGLAND, by OCCASION
Ing such popular demonstration against 1t as
caused its withdrawal, suggests some curious
reflections in connection with the fact that
similar tax has been imposed In this country
and collected with facility. The capacity of q
country to be taxed is an evidence of public
integrity, Just as much as an individuals
promptness to pay interest on his note is a
sign of his honesty or wish to be honest. In
fact, the whole system Of taxation as at pre-
sent existing is never complained Of, except
when the amount imposed is evidently more
than required, as when Mr.. Boutwell, desires
to rush ahead with his bt-paying-before-iL
is-due policy. or when the tax has peculiarly
odious features, such as that upon incomes,
which invades mans private affairs with a
policemans ruthlessness. With such materials
to draw upon the Secretary OF the Treasury
and the Finance Committees in Congress ought
never to lack the means for providing promptly
and pleasantly all their wants for the carrying
on Of the government.

A NATIONAL POLICE CONVENTION. A cir

ment Of st. Louis recommending convention
in that city Of the chiefs of detectives from
all cities in the country. This is not a bad
idea but we are Inclined to think that when
the convention meets there will be more or
less scramble among the different detective
organizations to know who is at the head or
who is at the tail Of the different combinations.
The detective system is open to revision. Let
