REPORT OF THE FIFTH AUDITOR.
Hon. Henry d, Barron, the able
Fifth Auditor oft Treasury in his
last concise and we'll written Report,
alludes to the inadequacy Of thec CON-
pensation Of consuls. He tavors the
abolition ofsome Of the Mailer con-
sulatos "where little Or no business is
DONE" and tho appropriation of
more liberal compensation to those
of more impor tance. This is doubt.
less the true policy. To my knowl-
edge there are consalates where there
is nothing to do; the pay is small
and the positions go begging for oc-
cupants. Finally gentlemen of
wealth agree TO take them, being
DESTROYS Of "going abroad" and few
extra dollars with the honor Of being
a Consul with nothing to do, induces
them to accept. Ifthose sinccures.in
every department Of the civil service
were abolished, thousands upon
thousands of dollars would be saved

Income Tax.


We see by late dispatches from
Washington that Commissioner
Pleasanton has been before the WAYS
and Means Committee and recon
mended the repeal OF the Income
Tax. This recommendation has
no doubt been brought about BY the
immense pressure brought to bear
upon the Commissioners by inter.
ested parties, such as A. T. Stewart,
Vanderbilt and Astor, and others of
that ilk, who during tho war fought
nobly lin the rear-and who
while the nation was bleeding At ev-
cry pore, were, through tho necessi-
ties Of the government and people
amassing immense fortunes.
Tho debt created by our govern
ment, to sustain its army and navy,
and to put down the shareholders re-
bellion, and to protect tho life Of the
nation, also protected these nabobs
in their suddenly acquired wealth !;
and if there is any ono class, moro
than another, who should contrib
ute to it's payment, it is just such
mon - they are. All this clan. tran
about the expense of collecting the
Income Tax amounting to more than
the tax, is . mere stub thrown to the
whale" and is the veriest nonsense.
Every one who is at all posted in
the matter knows that after the LIST
OF May next the Internal Revenue
Taxes are cut down to stamp duties,
and the tax on Liquors and Tobaccos
in their various branches of manu-.
factore, and that every District in
the U. :. will still require its assessor
and collector, with their subordinat.
omcers, to assess and. collect tho
duties imposed on these articles, and |
That while looking after the one it |
will require no additional expense to |
ASSESS and collect tho Income Tax. or |
It least not more than it's relative /
Another reason urged |
or its repeal il that it is inquisitorial |
q its character, but even this obiec. |
ion is removed BY the last amend |
nent to the Revenue law, which per-
nlts any person to simply mako
'ath that their income is less than
Y, 600, unless the officer has good |
Ind sumcient reason to believe that
rand has been attempted.
The law is just and equitable, and |
70 hope Congress will let it stand |
Until it expires by limitation in
1879.

the State Register that in licking

the credit of the said Register to, at
least, leave out the palpable plumbers
Of such appropriated article. and
that If in its capacity as organ of the

For time am pressed, but don't care,
And by all my new papers Pm pressed:
But l., bc pressed and caressed by the fair
| likcby ali odds the best.
So give mo the Press for money,
And give me q wife OF the West;
From one Will have all the honey,
From the other I'll grab all the rest.

started ~ Il devil
Aud swept the Office floor;
But 1 kept my young head level,
And studied more and more.
One day set d stickful,
Aud found myself a sjour.n
So took my breeclAes in my hand
And made n lively stir,
strnck the old Wisconsin,
Good luck did me bctide,
made right up aud patented
And covered my ''outsidc,p
But cut another caper,
And for. more success tried;
For while filled my paper,
filled my own .'insitie.

Ny name Is T. G. Evans,
And I'm fresh from the old Hub,
Where tits vain TO ask the Heavens
To mnuna send for grub.
We have 10 work down there, my friends
We have 10 work Ike thunder
And everything Is ut "IOose ends,n
1--we make but onc bad hsunder,
did 1t, 10 l'm going West;
The Rocori broke my back,
A little wood cut took my all
I've came down to s'hard tackn
But III YOU want a type oslae,
or pattern new and large,
Come, oh cJme, 81 old n. q.
And buy al moderate charge.
So
I've forgotten the rest.
