would certainly have carried Ohio and Ken

a good chance for North Carolina, Indiana,
Missouri and Louisiana, and would probably
have carried more Electors in NewY0rk than
Adams did. He might not have carried New

Artemus Ward di0idently and dOubtfully sug-

there has been no such daring speculation.

The secretary of the Navy writes to the
Admiral in command of the North Atlantic
Squadron, expressing his doubts as to the
authenticity of the remarkable letter from the
commander of the Tennessee TO President
Wade, printed exclusively in the Santo Do
mingo correspondence of THE TRIBUNE. He
then disapprOves of the letter; after which he
defends its main positions. For the present
we can only say that we published the letter
without the slightest question as to its authen-
ticity. AS our correspondent has already ar
rived at Washington, we shall doubtless be
able within day or two to settle the matter
If the letter should not prove authentic, shall
take the earliest opportunity to say so if it
should, we shall expect Secretary Robeson to
take the earliest opportunity to say so.
New-York tribune., 1871-03-28

A circular from the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue makes an important change in the
regulations for assessing the Income Tax. The
inquSit0rial examination is to be omitted.
Nothing will be required except statement
under oath of the gross taxable income, after
making all legal deductions. This welcome
alteration is in accordance with the recent
exposure by THE TRIBUNE of the illegaity of
the blank forms issued for the present year
but in justice to the Commissioner we must
point out that it seems to have been resolved
upon before our article appeared. An affidavit
is still required from persons not liable to the
tax-which we believe to be unauthorized by
the present law-but it has been considerably
modified. If the Commissioner will examine
the law more carefully we are satisfied that he
will agree with us in the opinion that lie has
no power to exact any return whatever from
persons whose gross income during the past
year did not exceed $4,000.
