ern members to favor con-
stituents whose wealth consists of lands
and produce rather than money, and who have
no cash incomes worth speaking of, caused
the income tax to be prolonged despite the
promise made when it was first imposed as
an extreme war measure that Il should be
discontinued at specified date. That the
amount of the tax was reduced makes very
little difference, for it was its necessarily in
quisitorial character that made it obnoxious
and not the amount it required those subject
to it to pay. The income tax is as objection
able now as it ever was, and it is a scandaous
piece of injustice that the people of the
country should be burdened with it for the
sake of keeping certain men in Office who
might with more advantage, certainly to the
public, bs earning their living in some other
manner.

OBITUARY.
Thomas Garrett.

Thomas Garrett, one of the original Abo-
htionist, and tor many years a prominent
manager of the underground railway" in the
good old pro-slavery times, when to be an Abo-
litionist was to be an outlaw, died last night at
his residence in Wilmington, Delaware, at the
age of eighty-two years. Mr.. Garrett was a
member of the Society of Friends, and from his
earliest years he was bitterly opposed to
slavery, and he gave practical evidence of his
sympathy for the negroes of the South by aid
ing as many of them as possible to gain their
freedom. He directly assisted about eighty
slaves to leave their masters, and to make their
way to Canada, and, as was to be supposed he
was particularly obnoxious to all the supporters
of the slave system. He was determined, how
ever, to fulfil his duties as a practical Abo-
litionist, and never hesitated to resort to
any expedient to save a fugitive slave from the
clutches of the law. His house was a regular
station on the underground railway" and he
frequently concealed slaves who were flying to
the North for days together until opportunity
offered for sending them safely on their way
On one occasion his house was surrounded by
party of slave-hunters and Disgusting himself
and poor negro woman who had sought his
protection, he managed to pass her through the
pursuers and conducted her to the depot in
safety and sent her North. After the passage of
the Fugitive Slave law, Mr.. Garrett was sub
jected to many prosecutions, and he was on
number of occasions convicted of aiding fugi-
tive slaves to escape and was sub ected to heavy
fines. His business as hardware merchant
was at one time nearly broken up, but his enc
mics were unable to prevent him from carrying
out what was the great object of his life and
he never hestated to defy law which he
esteemed iniquitous In itself and especially dis
graceful to free country. Despite his reverses
he managed to build up an extensive business
again, and prospered in his worldly affairs, as
he deserved to do. Although member of the
Society of Friends Mr. Garrett seldom attended
meeting, and was not good terms with the
majority of Friends in Wilmington and the
neighborhood, because he thought they did not
take a sufficiently firm stand against slavery
He was prominent officer for many years of
the American Anti-Slavery Society, and he was
interested in all the radical reform movements
of the day, being always in the front rank of
the agitators of woman's rights and all similar
subjects. Mr.. Garrett was possessed of fund
of humor that made him popular even with
those who did not agree with him, and since
the slavery question has been settled and the
business of the underground railway" perma-
nently wound up, there has been no citizen of
Wilmington who has been more generally
esteemed than Tommy Garrett as he was fami-
liarY styled

In PROPORTION to population, value of pro-
perty, amount of business, and extent of
territory over which it is transacted, no civil
hzed country is so badly provided with cur
rency as the United States at the present
day. The supply of the whole South and of
many prosperous newly y-developed regions in
the West is a great deal smaller now than
that furnished to the loyal States alone dur
ing the Rebellion; and, as a natural eonse-
quence, many business men are frequently
subjected to serious inconvenience. AS mat
ters stand now, all the gold and silver money
of the country is kept out of circulation, a
large portion of the greenbacks are held as
reserve funds by the banks, and the people
are forced to depend upon stinted supply of
national bank notes and fractional currency.
An overstock of this money may be an evil,
but an understood causes constant inconve-
nience, which might and should be remedied
by appropriate legislation.

SAN DOMINGO.

REAR-ADMIRAL LEE, who is cruising around
San Domingo, has sent report, dated
January s, to the Secretary of the Navy,
which, although it manifestly intended to be
as favorable as the facts will permit, does not
give flattering picture of the political and
financial condition of the proposed acquisi-
ton. The Admiral states that the delay in
completing annexation lis attended by finan-
cial trouble, anxiety, and the risk of insur-
rection," President Baez, who proposes to
hand Dominica over to US, being sorely
pressed by poverty on the one hand and by
rival ruler or would-be ruler, Cabral,
on the other It is pretty evident that Sum-
ner has some foundation for his assertion that
the project involves bloody lawsuit, and
that Cabral will have to be bought up Cor
otherwise disposed of as wellas Baez, before
the stars and stripes can float in peace and
serenity over the black diamond which gilt
ters so brightly in the eyes of the President.
AS to the pecuniary position of Baez, the Ad-
miral tells us that, although his military ex-
penses only amount to about $1,000 per
month, it is growing so difficult to raise this
sum that repudiation of the old and nearly
valueless paper money is openly ad-
vocated in influential quarters, and
it can therefore be readily imagined that
contribution from the Treasury of the United
States would be exceedingly serviceable.
Even a small sop from our secret service fund
would not be sneezed at, and as to round
million or two in solid coin, publicly appro-
priated, it would be enough to make Baez
and all his satellites dance with Joy. The
Admiral says that ''the population of Domi-
MICA is small, (which is far better recon-
mendation than his assurance that it is ''con-
fessedly excellent Of this kind" whatever
that may mean.

THE INCOME TAX.

The indications are that Congress will proba-
bly, repeal the income tax during the present
session, if those who are interested in the
matter will bring the proper pressure to bear.
General Pleasanton has commenced we'll as
Commis sioner of Internal Revenue by de-
claring against this inquisitorial tax, and by
presenting forcible arguments against its con-
tinuanoe. He yesterday argued the matter
before the Ways and Means Committee of the
House of Representatives, which is under
stood to stand at present five in favor of re-
pealing and four in favor of continuing the
tax. 1t is, therefore, probable that General
Pleasanton's views will prevail, at least with
the committee, and that bill will be re-
ported for the total repeal of the tax. There
is ne doubt that it costs nearly if not quite
as much to collect the income tax as it is
worth, and the whole subject reduced down
to its simple elements means nothing more
than that the people Of the United States
are obliged to submit to having their most
private business affairs investigated for the
sake of supporting an army of ofhce-holders,
the great majority of whom could readily be
dispensed with if this tax were abolished and
other reforms in the internal revenue effected
We do not believe that single member of
Congress who voted for the continuance of
the inc ONE tax at the last session thought
that it was necessary, but the turning adrift
of several thousand ofice-holders was a seri-
GUS matter for politicians who had their ad-
herents among the collectors and assessors,
and they preferred to defy the public at large
rather than to offend the men who might do
good service at election timss. This, and the

AS a result of the row in the Republican
party in Nebraska, the newly-elected Senator
(Hitchcock) received nearly as many Demo-
cratic as Republican votes. He may, there
fore, be expected to strengthen the Demo
cratic column in the Senate on many if not
on all issues, and his triumph will cause
corresponding diminution in the Senatorial
strength of the Republican party.

estimates the part Of the field sown with
