CLASSIFICATION OF LICENSES.

We do not suppose that any system of
taxation could be devised by human
wisdom to which some objection might
not be raised by the captiousnes of po-
htical opposition. But it is nevertheless
the indisputable duty of the authorities
by whom public taxes are levied to divest
them, if possible, of all Objectionable
features, SO as to make them, if not uni
versally acceptable, to be at least such as
will ind no objection from the rejecting
portion of the taxpayers.
When a tax falls equally on all, and
possesses the constitutional requisite of
being uniform, there can arise but one
objection to tit may be thought too
heavy. But it will be paid without other
demur than little grumbling.
This is not the case, however, with the
class of taxes known as licenses. The OBJ
lection to these is not that they are too
heavy, but that they are not sufficiently
classified to act in equitable proportion
and with equal justice to all. Were this
defect remedied, we believe that no objec-
ton to the license system would exist; but
until q change in the mode of imposing
licenses takes place, and classification
is made in such manner that each bust
ness man shall pay in proportion to the
amount Of business done, the license sys-
tenn of taxation will remain in disfavor.
A little more labor might result to the
officials connected with the assessment
department We're classification of Ii
censes to be inaugurated, and perhaps
larger clerical force might be required !:
but this should not for q moment be
weighed against the just results that
wouli follow, and the consequent public
satisfaction.
Nor would the change be attended with
any entangling difficulty. In fact 1t has
already been made in one case; for the
coneehouses are now classified into first,
second and third rates. and pay license

Il has beeu AIvosite hobby with that
portion Of the press which hrst advised
and coupseled the rebellion, and has since
endeavored to apologize for it and con-
secIate it as laudable act, to seize upon
every thin pretext and technical ruling Of
the court that appeared to be at all
adverse to the interests Of persons holding
titles under the law as indications that
the Supreme Court would, when case
came up fairly on its merits, decide the
act to be unconstitutional, and thus restore
to the rebel owners their forfeited and
condemned estates. But an excess Of
zeal blinded them to the true principles
Of law involved, and led them into error,
and as usual, they blindly led their
readers into the pit it was their duty to
point out and warn the public against.
We have recently seen very long, but
far from learned or conclusive argu-
ments on the subject in the columns
of the press of this city, which
pointed to the utter discontinue
of all those persons who had purchased
real estate at marshars sales under the
act of 1862. But the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the case of Burlington VS..
Day, which came up from Michigan, sets
the question at rest for ever, and outlets
the loyal possessors in their titles.
We can see no way of lodging or evad-
ing the question. The highest tribunal
has spoken out ON the subject in terms
not to be mistaken, and has laid down
rule for the guidance of the judiciary Of
the country.
It will be remembered that among the
earliest decisions under the oct those of
Judge Duren, who uniformly ruled in
favor Of the law, and he has been tri-
umphantly sustained by the appellate
court. There is, however, a disputed
point yet remaining, which may afford
parties not fully satisfied with the present
legal aspect of the case an opportunity to
expend their money in an attempt to save
something out of the wreck of their for
tunes, and recover by legal exerticns por-
ton of what they have lost by their folly
and perverseness. But it is not at all
probable they will succeed. The supreme
power of the federal government is now
universally recognized and admitted. and
the severe lessons of the past are not
likely to be lost upon this generation oF
the one that will come after us.

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

This great contest, toward which the
eyes of all the politicians of the country
have recently been turned, has taken
place, and the Democrats are grievously
disappointed The little taste of success
in New Hampshire emboldened the
enemies of the Republican party, and
encouraged them to put forth every exer-
ton to secure like cheering result in the
land OF steady habits. The powerful aid
of INSCRIPTIONS Tammany was invoked,
but in vain. Governor English's visit to
Albany to consult with Tweed failed in
its object; for, not only have the Repub-
icans saved every Congressional district
they had before. but they have laid on
the shelf no less a person than Governor
English himself.
There viii, naturally enough, be great
rejoicing throughout all New England
and the Middle States at this glorious re-
suit. It shows that though New Hamp-
shire may be torn by local dissensions,
glorious old Connecticut is as ''steady" as
ever, and able to cope with the enemy
within her own borders, even though re-
inforced by the trained veterans and re-
peaters of New York. After this result,
the ''rooster trade" which received q
feeble stimulus by the Republican dis
aater in New Hamnshire will suhs;do
into its former apathy. for the successful
party in Connecticut are in the habit of
playing with dignity, and either winning
like gentlemen or losing with equanimity.
They do not delight in growing over q
discounted foe, like children or chicken
cocks. Hence, there will be no present
demand for the vain lord of the barn.
yard. He has played out his engagement
in New Hampshire, and win not be wanted
in Connecticut this year, at least.

ON UAR0HDELET STREET,

For the last three days the Slaughter
house bears have had everything their
own way in Carondelet street. The bulls
appear to be, for the present, totally
demoralized, and afraid to accept any
kind Of offers, SO that, as they retire from
its support, the stock continues to sink;
just as, short time ago, people were ask
ing, "Wherswil this advance stop ?" and
predictions of fight to GO were freely
hazarded, SO now they are inquiring
when the bottom will be touched, or if
there is really any bottom ct all. What
it all means nobody can say; bat every
body surmises that. during the fall, q
large "short" interest must have been,
crested, and that BY this the depression
must eventually b slaysd. The balls

According to the Democratic argument
in Kentucky concerning the Ku-Klux, we
are left to the unpleasant suggestion that
the Bourbons of that State are like their
kindred in Europe, who forget nothing
They solemnly declare that there are no
Ku-Klux. They swear that the Ku-Klux
are radicals in disguise. This is an old
argument, if it can be called an argument
A Bourbon was once sued for kettle, He
answered that he never. borrowed the
kettle; that he returned it; that it was
cracked when he got it. Remembering
this case, and applying it to the Ku-Klux
averments of the Kentucky Democracy,
jnstifies us in saying that the Bourbons
of that State never forget. Congress viii
probably teach them that they had better
return the kettle to its rightfnl owner.

The United States consumes more than
five times - much coffee per capita a.
Great Britain, and twice ~ much a.
France. Holland, Norway and Belgium
are the only countries which consume .
greater amount per capita. The .consump-
ton of coffee has doubled in most countries
during the last twenty years. The annual
crop Of coffee in the world averages
$4,000, 900 pounds, or about two-thirds of .
pound to every man, woman and child on
its surface. Of this amount the island Of
Java furnishes nearly one-fifth, or about
10000, 900 pounds. The greater portion Of
so-called ''old government Java sold in
this country is . humbug.

JUST so.

We have the testimony of the Bulletin
that the "1smes joined the REPUBLICAN, :"
on the subject of paying taxes. That is
just what we said, and it is the naked
truth. By the way, the symptoms were
strong yesterday that the Bulletin itself
was, in some SORT, becoming caught in an
honest current just above our fish trap
and it would not surprise Us in the least
to find it following the Times into our
pleasant custody before long. We do not
rejoice in the death of the wicked.

as preventive of horses being teased

ders would try it, and report the re-
suit through these columns. The re.
ceipt is as follows Take two OF
three handfulls Of walnut leaves, up
on which pour three quarts Of cold
water, and let it infIse one night.
then pour the whole into a kettle and
bet it boil for a quarter of an hour -
When cold, It will be fit to use. The
way TO use it is to moisten a sponge,
and before horse goes out Of the
stable let those parts which are most
irritable be smeared with the liquor.
viz: Between and upon the ears. and
neck. and flank. etc. Not only the
gentleman or lady who rides out for
pleasure will derive pleasure from the

Ou.MEAL FOR Cows AND CALyTs
IL SUMMER. When COWS are in prof
it. little extra feed, in the shape OF
oil-meaI, will be amply repaid in the
Weld of milk and butter. 1t must
not be supposed that because a COW
is OH pasture there is no longer need
for stimulating food. The fact is
that with an ample supply of grass.
the appetite ola COW for the meal Is
quite as vigorous as during the winter,
when she was fed on hay. Cows may
be proftably fed with a quart OF oil
meal morning and night. They will
lick it up from trough, if 1t IS made
Sufficiently large, without waste
When COWS are not tied up at night,
a good plan of feeding them is to have
a square box for each COW, large
enough for her to put her nose in cas-
lily, and six inches deep. Put the al
lowance of meal in these boxes. :
They may be scattered about the
yard, at such a distance as will give
an opportunity to eat without being
Grivenaway by others.
Calves will soon show, in their i'm
proved looks and FASTENED growth.
that oil meal is good for them also.
A small handful given them in their
pasture daily, will push them forward
rapidly. 1t is well to use a small tin
pan to feed them with, and few
minutes spent with the young stock
daily, is not only an agreeable occu
patton, but highly profitable; for the
more regularly the owners attention
is given to his cattle, the sooner he
will perceive anything wrong. and be
able at once to remedy it, and a dai
ly visit is seldom made unless there
is some express purpose in it. Lee
the purpose then be to give them 4
little extra feed, and double benefit
will result.
