COLORADO.

COLORADO.
This territory is knocking again, and this time
with more fitness than before. Though the
census reports only 1896 persons as its popula-
ton, the claim is made that since it was taken
three railroads have entered the territory, Civ
ing facility to immigration. In illustration of
this the United States marshal states that the
census shows population of $40 in the county
of Greenwood. Since the Kansas Pacific rail.
road was finished the election in September last
showed registered vote at the county seat
alone of 445. He thinks that the present popu-
lation is not less than 10000.
But Colorado has elements of wealth and sta
bility far beyond most territories. The taxable
property, exclusive of railroads, is rated at SIS,
375,Si607. This is probably not more than half
the real value, The gold and silver shipments
in 1868 were s., 107 ,235, exclusive of what was
carried by private hands. In 1869, the yield
reached nearly S4,0O0,00O. Shipments during
the past year have ranged, month by month,
from twenty to twenty-five per cent higher. The
yield for 1870 is estimated at about 5000 900.
Mining improvements are valued at SOLO,
400, gold, and the capital employed at
S2,362,66O The crops of 1868 were valued at
S2,6S3S39, and those of 1869 at about $4,000, O0O
Those for 1870 were rather below owing to
drought. The wool product doubled, reaching
100000 pounds, while the price ranged from IS
TO % cents. The Denver land office disposed of
for cash, 1879 acres; agricultural college scrip,
27,77S acres; by land warrants, 1876; home
steads, 65,171 acres Nine thousand four hun
dred and eight acres were patented under
homestead entries, making in all 274,517 acres.
The other land offices are believed to have dis
posed of as much more. There are 2S5 miles of
railroad running in the territory, and thirty-two
miles OF two more roads already constructed
The trade of Denver alone is footed up for the
last year at 81 OO6, 800 The individual deposits
in the two national banks there were 81 500 900
during the past year. These facts and others
are urged as reasons for the admission of this
territory, even though its population is not up
to the present apportionment standard.

Worcester i'm the War.

MeSSrS Editors The note, signed I. j. Hast
ings, in the Spy Of Wednesday morning last,
seems to demand some notice from me, because
the inference from it, in some minds, will be
that the list of soldiers names in the "History
of Worcester in the War;" is full of errors, and
that some Of these errors were made by me in
transcribing. AS the allegation that there are
many errors in the work is hindering the sale,
it is Il mere matter of justice to myself that the
facts should be stated. Besides, it has become,
to some extent, a subject of general interest.
In the first place, would say, that corrcc-
tons will be welcomed from any and every
quarter But would inquire, in the words of
distinguished military gentleman: "Why do
not those who find errors in the history, quietly
inform you of them instead of rushing INTO
print, and thus hurting the sale of work
which you have taken unwearied pains to make
corrcct?"
In regard to the Eve alleged errors specified
by Mr.. H., viz: those in relation to Barnard,
Bemis, Charles and Henry, Blake and Blodgett,
l have examined the "Records of the Massa-
chusetts Volunteers" and find that in each case,
the list in the "Rol of Honor" is copied accu-
rately as to names, dates, remarks and points.
Moreover, have compared the roll of Co. D,
18th regiment, in the "Rccords" and in the his
tory, and find them to correspond with one ex-
ception. In that case Edward is used for
Edwin.
The question may be raised whether can be
justified in relying on the Records" In re-
gard to this, let me say that gentlemen honored
in, DIV nd tnilif 20
have taken no other course with any proprie.y.
They not only justify me but assert that should
not be authorized now in making any alter
tons from those "Records" except on the posi-.
tive assurance of those who have better means
of knowing the facts thanyare to be found in the
official rolls of regiments, battallionS, unat-
tached companies, batteries, &C., that are to be
found in the adjutant generals office, from
which the "Records" were made up with great
care
1t is a matter of great satisfaction to me, that
in the whole list of errors yet found in the His
tory,-most of them of tri1ing consequence
not more than half dozen injuriously affect
the reputation of any man, civilian or soldier.
These and all Others that may be detected,
will be printed on separate leaf, and supplied
TO all who purchase the work. None need wait
for a aelc edition, for no other edition will be
published; neither will the priee-now ruinous-
ly low-be reduced. Corrections in another
edition would not improve that already printed,
but corrections made in the manner afore indi-
Gated will make a II the copies accurate.
conclude by repeating the request, that all
who discover errors in the history, would inform
me of them Immediately by mail, in the same
friendly spirit in which the request is made.
TIE work was prepared in the interest and for
the honor of the soldiers of Worcester, and the
author is very desirious of having it satisfacto-
~ to them. A. P MARVIN

THE INCOME TAx.-According to statement
said to have been made up at the office of the
commissioner of internal revenue, the whole
number of persons in the United States who
were assessed for income, in 1870, was 275, PAS.
This number, however, does not include all who
paid an income tax. A great many persons de-
rive their whole income from bonds and other
securities. These paid the tax through the
treasures of corporations, and, consequently,
were not assessed by the revenue officers and
avery large proportion of these persons should
not have been taxed at all for income, as their
receipts for the year were much less than the
amount exempted by law. Nevertheless, they
were made to pay from thre5 to fifty dollars
each, which was deducted from the interest due
them semi-anuually, without regard to assess
ment or exemption.

EMPEROR WILLIAMS ADDRESS
LONDON, Jan. 1880 p. Mixing William
has issued the following proclamation at Yer
sailles, on the occasion of his assumption of the
imperial crown. He says:
I'm consequence of the appeal of the German
princes and free towns for us TO restore the Ger
man empire after a lapse of sixty years, we an
nounce that we consider it our duty to father
land to accept the imperial dignity. Henceforth
we and our successors will bring to the title of
emperor of Germany the hope that God will
vouChsafe blissful future 10 futherland. and
that under our auspices its ancient splendor
may be restored We partake of the dignity,
conscious OF our duty to preserve with German
fidelity the rights of the empire, and of its mem
berS to maintain peace, and to support and
strengthen the independence of Germany in the
hope that the German people will reap in last
ing peace within our boundaries the fruits OF
their bloody battles, and be safe against re-
newal of French attacks. God grant that we
and our successors may protect the empire, not
by warlike conquests, but by works of peace
freedom and civilization"

CATHOLIC PRIEST ON THE UNITY OF
ITALT.-The following letter from Rev. Thomas
Farrell, pastor OF St. Joseph's Roman Catholic
church, New York, was addressed to the com
mittee having charge Of the arrangements of
the recent meeting in New York in honor of
Italian unity:
ST. JosEPH's, Jan. 70, 1871.
Theodore RoSeUet-Dear Sir: | regret that |
cannot be present at the meeting in favor of
Italian unity. Italy divided has long been the
prey of the foreigner. As | would not like to
see foreign soldiers on my own native soil, nor
would | consider it an evidence of the content
ment and happiness Of the people, so | could not
VISA 70 see Italy occupied bv foreign troops, nor
could consider their presence there as an evil
dence of the contentment of the people.
According to the old theory and practice of
European nations, people may be given and
taken away without til .ir consent All that
must DC changed before the people can be con-
tented. They must own themselves. Standing
armies must be abolished. Navies, also, except
few vessels furnished by each nation for the
protection of commerce on the high seas, must
be got rid OF. 1t is a monstrous injustice to
tax and Cypress people beyond endurance to
CRAFTY the policy and ambition Of kings.
How long Ignorance will keep people from
seeing how easily they might get rid of their
grievances, and the cause of them, it is hard to
TEL; but am Convinced that it cannot be long.
Though it is not for me to predict what the des-
tiny OF united Italy will be, still do not believe
that she will stop where she is. They have yet
great deal to learn and practice.
The people Of the old world don't understand
what equality before the law means; for, if they
did, they would soon get rid of arstocracy by
inheritance Or patent, which, like caste, is the
greatest cnTse of the world.
Inc people, too, Of every country, and of every
creed, have so long been prosecuted on account
o. religion, that they do not understand our
theory and our practice of civil and religious
hoertY. When they come to understand and
practice 1t the world over, one of the great
causes of human misery and oppression will be
removed forever. That all men throughout the
world may soon enjoy civil. and religious liberty
and equality before law, is the sincere wish Of
y urs truly, THos FARRELL,

THE New COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL
REVENUE is, in some respects, favorable con.
trast to his predecessor. He urges the abolition
of the income tax, on the ground that the cost of
collecting it amounts to a much larger per-
ceutage Of the receipts than is the case with any
other tax, and that the existence of this tax is
the only obstacle in the way of a large reduc-
ton OF the present force of revenue officials. 1t
seems to have been principle with the late
Commissioner Delano, when any question was
proposed to him regarding the assessment or
collection of tax. to decide in favor of the ex-
rene limit of exaction no matter how clear the
language of tue law might be to the contrary
Tne inquiry he accepted as proof Of the exist
ence of doubt, and his rule was, in all cases.
where a doubt was possible, to decide in favor
of the government General Pleasanton seems
inclined TO give the revenue laws reasonable
construction, according to their natural and
obvious intent, even in cases where forced con-
structon might, with some ingenuity, be devised
that would press more severely upon the tax
payer.
An illustration Of this is the recent ruling of
Commissioner Pleasanton that the act of July
IA, 1870, does not authorize the collection of a
dividend tax upon the dividends of corporations
declared within the five months ending Deem
Der 81, 1870. Nobody in congress, or elsewhere
out of the internal revenue office, ever conject-
ured that the law in question did authorize the
collection of the tax referred to- as one of its de-
clared objects was to exempt such dividends for
the latter half of the year, because they had paid
five per cent during the first half, while the tax
on income in general was reduced to two and a
half per cent. But it seems that Commissioner
Delano had contrived to persuade himself that
congress had failed to accomplish its obvious
intention in this respect since General Pleasan-
tons opinion contains directions for abat-
Ing or refundiug the tax where it had already
been assessed or collected, and closes with the
words, call previous rulings of this Office incon
sistent with the above are hereby revoked"
