INCREASE OF TAxEs.-Mr. David A. Wells,
late United States Revenue Commissioners,
who has recently been engaged in IA plan for
n general reform ia State and local taxation
in New York, states as the result Of his ex-
aminations that, since 1860, National taxa
ton in the United States has increased eight,
and State taxation on an average three-fold !:
that. in short, the people of the United States,
in 1870, paid eleven times as much in taxes
TO Government as they did in 1860. He
states that, in New York city. the average is
5000 per head in Boston, $50 10; in Chi
cage, S2I.6 while in London il is S. S5,
and in all England but 1886. So that we
may safely cali ourselves the best taxed peo-
Pile upon the face of the earth; paying in
Chicago over six times as much as they pay
in london, and in Illinois about nine times
as much as they pay in the rest of England.

The sam.er Removal.

The action of the Radical members OF the
o. S. Senate in removing Senator sumner
from the head of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs and Senator, Trumbull. from the Ju-
dietary Committee. has created much excite
menr throughout the country. These gentle
men who have been pillars Of light since their
party was organized. who helped to originate
and build up Radicalisrl, have been forced
out Of tie way to give another class of men
an opportunity to WELD power, that arc be-
lieved to be more plant to the Executive will
Whatever may be the peculiarities of Sumner
and Trumbull, they hare been recognized by
the body of their party as being honest in
their views and intentions, and have more
confidence reposed In them than such men as
Cameron and Morton and those that follow in
their wake; have been entitled to. 1t is re-
ported that well informed Republicans at
Washington fear that the action of the Senate
wasa political blunder, involving the defea. of
Grant for denomination, or the defeat of the
Republican party should be be re-nominated.
The people believe that Sumner was removed
for the reason Of the position be has taken in
regard to the annexation Of San Domingo.
The acquisition of that undesirable country
appears to be pet object with the President

that he will use it to finish up the job, so that

Sun states the probable issue of the High
Commission, now in session at Washington,
! thus:
CATER round of good dinners the account
of the respective parties will be made out
something in this wise: The American Com
mission, with many genufexions, will present
the Alabama bill, which the British Comis-
sioners, with series of grimaccs, will re-
ceive, and after coming to the conclusion that
it is confoundedly long one, they will cut
away OF it with the intent to reduce it to the
smallest dimensions. The British Commits.
sioners, with tenders of distinguished consid.
Grafton, will present as their Offset to the Ala
bama bill list of claims for manifold griev.
ancies, real or imaginary, covering sundry
decades of years, which the American Com.
missioners will receive with very wry face and
go right to work and pare down to the loves,
possible figure with an enormous consump-
ton of champagne and foolscap, an account
current will be stated and balance struck.
The American claims will be set down, for
example, at thirty millions of dollars, and the
British Offset at twenty-five Millions. leaving
balance against John Bull of five millions
which, in case the settlement is properly rat
flied, his Chancellor of the Excheouer will
probably hand over to our Secretary of the
Treasury"

Coward,v Assault

The Terre Haute Journal finds the fol

d. w. VOORHEES, going the rounds of the
papers:
Yesterday afternoon company Of gen
tleuen, among whom was Hon. ID. W.
Voorhees,, of Indiana, called into the well
known Hancock residence on Pennsyl.
vania avenue, near Thirteenth street, to
refresh themselves. Some sparkling
champagne was INDUCED in, and, in addi-
ton, in the interlude of popping of corks
political topics were discussed There is
usually difference of opinion on these
matters, even when favored by the aroma
of champagne, and it was so on this oc
casion- Discussion ran high, and some
expression of MIR. Voorhees, displeased
one of the company, who raised cane
and struck at him, knocking off his hat
but not doing him any personal injury
The cane used was sword one, the GOV
ering of which flew off in the effort of the
owner to infict heavy blow, displaying
the glittering steel. Mr.. Voorhees, die

his hat and induced him to go away. I

ritability fhiled to mend the brake in the

as we could discover. Mr.. Jillson, the
agent, preserved complete control of him
self, and in imitation of him we did our
best to cultivate this virtue. About 1, p.

rowed horse-iron of course-we got
aboard, and soon were flying toward our
destination.

that our velocity did not close up the

and corn looked we'll.
Argos" being calleo out by the con-
ductor, of course We looked out again and
saw that this village had every appearance
of prosperity. Soon we were to Walnut,
where the stacks of lumber hid from our
view the most remarkable features of this
Town. The country between the latter
place and Rochester did not look quite so
well as between that and our place.
The Town of Rochester, however, is
handsomely situated, and carries the
marks of thrift and industry, and the peo-
pie are remarkable for social qualities.
After transacting our business with
Sheriff Montgomery, who by the way is
a very genial man, Notwithstanding his
politics, We were permitted for short
time to enjoy chat with Mr. Essick, Mr.
Conner and Esq. Harmon. 1t then being
time for the arrival of the north bound
train, we took run for the depot, where
We waited five long hours. 1t is needless
for us to say it was behind time just that
much. Then that virtue which we had
been trying to cultivate in the morning,
in the presence Of Mr.. Jillson, was well
nigh overcome, not having the presence of
his example for our guidance, we
fretted and hoped, and anxiously wished,
until we reached Plymouth at IL p NJ,
just too late to enjoy the 18th anniversary
at Mr.. and Mrs. n. ii. Oglesbee's, at
whose kind invitation we had expected to
attend-the detention of the cars, the
naughty cars, is our only apology for not
being present. We then repaired to our
own home, found the doors locked, and
being out rather later than usual, it was
with some difficulty We could gain admis-
sion.

UNCLE BILLY Fry, saws the Laporte
argus, has gone to visit his old home in
Virginia. Several years ago, in 1871, il
our memory serves us, Uncle Billy was
regarded as one Of the best men in the
democratic party in Laporte, but not an
dctiUe politician-and was far from being
an Office seeker. Shrewd democratic poll
ticians were looking around for available
candidates for Office. On the day of their
convention, it was determined by few of
the knowing ones, to put Uncle Billy on
the ticket for Representative to the State
Legislature. They found him sitting on
dry goods box in front of store, when
the following dialogue ensued:
Mr. Fry, We want your consent to run
for Representative"
You must be fool"
-Oh, no, we are in earnest. We need
the weight of your character to assist us
in this election"
You must be a durn fool"
But, Mr.. Fry, the democrats are de-
termined to put your name on the ticket
You must run"
"You must be dod darn fool"
And that was his final answer Ir.
Fry is al excellent man, who does not
like to be bothered with trifes. He did
not run, consequently the democrats did
not succeed in electing their ticket.
