"The costof Running the va

dilatoriness that has fastened

Especial dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
INn1 ANApOLis. EebrlarY o. 1871.


special dispatch to the Cincinnati Enduirer'l
INDlANAPoIis, February %, 1871.
Previous to the assembling of
the House this morning it was
known that the Republican
caucus had determined to break
a quorum by thirty -four re-
signing, which they did by.
placing their resignation in the
hands Of the Governor, who
promptly announced it by a
message to each branch on as
sembling. No body can tell
what the Republican members
resigned for.
1t would take at least six
days before the Legislative
Apportionment bill could have
finally been acted upon, and
then they could have resigned
with just as much effect as to-
day. 1t was not even certain
that the constitutional vote in
favor of the bill could have
been obtained in the House, as
several Democrats were sick
and one or two opposed the
bill. The Radicals resigned at
least week before they were
hurt.
A Radical member in the
Radical caucus last night de.
clared that the Democrats had
a right to pass the bill, and at
all, events, the Republicans
should wait for the last ditch
before resigning. A commit
tee of Democratic Senators
and Representatives Will Issue
an address in the morning
showing what the Legislature
has done, and what was lef
undone by the revolutionary
act Of the Radical members re
resigning. Both branches vii
probably adjourn tomorrow
by Saturday at the latest
All the bills passed have no
yet been enrolled and signed
} but will be tomorrow. The
Radicals will not make ever
seed-corn by this last politica
move.

The Income Tax.

The Income Tax is again be.
ing discussed, and it has been
asserted by competent authori.
ty that the Government is am.
ply able to get along without
it. The cost for collecting and
its inquisitorial nature, prying
as it does into the private af-
fairs Of citizens, compelling
them to make a record of their
affairs and submit it to all Off
cial, renders it extremely obi
Gus to a majority of business
men. 1t is contrary to the ge-
MUS of a republic, and the
spirit Of our institutions, and is
productive Of vast amount of
dishonesty and prevarication.
Many undoubtedly shirk it al
together, so contemplate does
it seem to them. They have
no sympathy, no patience and
no respect for such a scheme
to draw money from their pock-
cts without just cause, conse-
quently those who do pay bear
the whole burden, and they do
it with an unwillingness which
is painful to witness. ra
Even during the war such a
tax was hardly warranted, and
now that six years have passed
since the war ended, and the
tax not repealed, it shows a
great lack of judgment as well
as an entire misunderstanding
of the will of the people on
the part Of the Government.
For partizan purposes its con-
tinuance may prove beneficial;
but for the life Of us we cannot
see any other motive which
keeps alive such a contempti-
ble swindle perpetrated under
sanction Of law, as this income
tax has proved itself, The
press everywhere, thank God,
are waking up, and they should
fight it to the very death.
Down with this miserable in
,ome tax.

the livest Republican papers
published, and well worth its

Unlike the Republican, it has
the manliness to speak out
against the corruption of pres
ent Chief Executive of the
United States. There is no
spooneyism about Dana, and
when he speaks of Grant he
generally tells the truth in a
very brief wvy, Of course the
editor of the Republican don't
like Dana's way of talking
about Grant; and being a little
hard up for cash, he proposes
to- sell a years subscription to
this independent journal for IS,
one dollar less than the regular
subscription price, after adver'
tising at least twenty dollars
worth for it. We get the Sun
daily, and would not be with

Failures in 1871.

We reproduce the annual
statement by the Mercantile
Agency of New York, giving
the number of failures in 1870
and the number of failures in
1869, with the amount of LA
bilities. From this exhibit il
appears, that the number Of
failures in Ohio in 1860 was
22l, and in 1870 it was 2G6-
an increase of 46, and that the
aggregate amount Of liabilities
of those failing in 1869 was
5000 and the aggregate Of
those failing in 1870 was ST.,
56,000-an increase of $3,-
293, 900 which is fearful to look
upon.
Mr.. Pendleton was a candi-
date fer Governor in 1869; was
defeated, and no doubt many
of the parties who failed did
what they could to assist in
his defeat. They did not want
any of his financial policy, it
would make money too cheap.
They wanted to get down to
hard pan as soon as possible.
They have got down to it, and
pretty hard they find it too ---
The Republicans triumphed,--
Their financial policy is in sue.
cessful' operation, When the
defeat of Mr.. Pendleton be-
came known for q certainty,
the Republican press sent up a
great shout of Joy over the de-
feat Of the Pendletonian poll
cy. The result is an increased
crop Of failures. 1t seems to
us the people could stand a
a few more greenbacks. -
