Prussia and Her Enemies.

Democracy still talks of the oppres.
sion of our government. If It would
take glance at the manner in which
Prussia disposes of those who are dis
posed to aid her enemies, it ought TO be
sufficient I" Icanse that party to thank
fortune that its rebel leaders had their
lot cast in such pleasant places as the Uni
ted States. If they had lived aud re-
belled in Prussia as they lived and rebel
led here, King William would have, in the
name of his God and government, hang
ed every one of them. The Prussiah
government Goes not allow its subjects to
favor its enc mics in the least. For ex.
ample, some time ago number of Ger.
man bankers subscribed to French loan
They were detected in their efforts to
give aid ana comfort to the enemies of
their govern nent, and were sentenced to
imprisonment, respectively, two years,

The Income Tax.

Some time ago, under the lead of Sen
ator Scott, The United States Senate
passed bill to abolish tlIecincone tax.
In the house subsequently, some members
questioned the right of the Senate to act
on the question as it did. Appearances
now. however. indicate that the SInuse
will also favor the abolition of this in
.amisitorial lawn This tax never did sit
lightly among the people. Nothing but
the absolute necessity of using every
means for the payment of the adebt i'm
posed by The slavebolderssrebeliion kept
the people from making general outcry
against this un-American tax. Under its
provisions the assessor becomes ain in

every nook and corner, from thegranary
down through the dairy, the hen house

that the people dislike SO much, but it is
its prymg character. Mr., A. G Plea
