ADDRESS
To the Citizens Of all the Cities and
Totcns IN the United States

To the Citizens Of all the Cities and
To,ons IN the United States
A tax unpopular among all classes, in
direct violation of the provisions of the Con
stitution, has been laid by Congress upon
the people, after the period fixed for It's lim-
itation by the terms ofthe former act, which
declared that it should be levied and col
lected until 1870, and no longer, had ex
pired. Every effort was made by petition
and remonstrance to prevent Congress being
guilty Of such breach of faith and such an
act of injustice as to impose this burden on
the people for any further period. These
have failed. The tax is again imposed.
Popular feeling is aroused throughout the
country TO resist It's collection. An associ
alton has been organized in New York to
take proceedings to test the constitutionali-
ty of the act. Large numbers have Joined
the Association. The movement has been
hailed with appreciation in every part of the
land. Associations similar to that in New
y ork are being organized in Other cities 1t
only remains necessary to make this move
ment general throughout the country, and
that associations organize in every city and
town, that the people by united effort may
rid themselves ola burden unjustly imposed
The law imposing this tax cannot be sus-
tanned if the question of its constitutionality
be brought before a judicial tribunal Let
the people assert their rights, and no longer
consent to be oppressed by an unjust law
The anti-Income Tax Association of New
Y ork, cordially invite citizens in every city
and town to join in the movement which
they have so successfully inaugurated. As
sociations when organized, and their officers
elected, can correspond with the Secretary
Of this Association All information or pa
pers they need either in forming their or
ganization or to carry out their plan of op
erations after they are organized, will be
furnished them. Such association can then
join US ia forming United Association for
the whole Country.
By the plan of a united afso -iation, small
associations can share the benefit of pro-
ceedings taken by the General Association,
which they could not conduct at their own
expense. This, moreover, gives importance
to the movement, showing how widespread
is the feeling of opposition to the Income
Tax throughout the country, and it will pre-,
duce an effect upon Congress such as may
lead to a repeal Of the act even before they
adjourn.

Grants pets, the sfice-holders, are now
exempt from paying income tax, At least
such is the understanding by the recent de-
ci-ion of the supreme court of the United
States, in the case of Burlington against Day.
Judge Burlington, Of the Probate Court of
Barnstable county, Massachusetts, was as
sessed for an income tax on his salary, which
he paid, under protest, to Collector Day, af-

From France,

The civil war still RACES to a terrible ex-
tentand the most appalling scenes are daily,
nay, hourly, enacted. The fgh ting is heavy,
and utter ruin seems to brood over that I'M
happy country. Soldiers, civilians, women
and children are slaughtered by the thou
sands, aud still the work Of death goes on

THE INCOME TAX.

Below we present an address prepared by
the Executive Committee of the anti Income
Tax Association of New York, which we
commend to the people of this city and sec
ton of the country. The address is so com
plete in itself, and conveys so many argu-
ments that We do not deem it necessary to
enter upon any extended comments, 1t is
as follows:

Fate Of the ku-kIuX Bill.

On the 10Th, after a stormy debate,
Senator Sherman's amendment to the odious
Beast Butler Ku Klux bill were voted
down in the House. 1t had passed the Sen
ate by strong majority Perry, of Ohio,
one of the regular he devils of the radical
party, threatens the South with worse leg
islation as soon as the next Congress meets
by which time it is to be hoped the afore-
said Perry will be in hell.
Concerning the defeat of the amendments
and the hardships they were intended to
work upon the people Of the South, the Mem
phis Appeal of the Goth says
The debate in the House Of Representa-
tives, yesterday, upon the Ku Klux bill, as
reported back by the Conference Commit
tee, was short but fierce. The result was its
defeat by the decisive vote of IOG nays to
"A yeas. For this we are indebted to many
Republicans, among them " essrs. Banks
Bingham, Blair, of Michigan, Conger, Farms
worth, Finklenburg Garfield, Hale, Hawley,
Hooper, Packer of Pennsylvania, Poland,
Sheldon, Streng, and Townsend, of Penn
sylvania, These men will be rememb ered
by people grateful for the least aid in their
hercu!ean efforts to preserve the integrity of
the States, and save the country from tn an
archy to which we are drifting through the
vim IictiTe, merciess and mercenary legisla-
ton of the radicals in Congress. Mr..
Brooks, Of New York, very caustically
branded the implacaDle majority in the Sen
ate, and in doing so, in part only, gave ex.
preston to the curses that will rise to the
lips of every just man in the Union, as they
contemplate the possible results of such
measures to the trade and business of the
country, already PROSTATE under the ignOr-
ance and stupidity of a Secretary of the
Treasury, who could better manage his old
cross roads grocery than the finances of a
nation of traders, spectators, manufactur-
ers and farmers.
LATER.
On Thursday, shorn of Senate amend
ments, the Ku Klux bill passed the House,
and is now law of the land, having, as
Washington kilograms of the Goth inform
US, received the Presidents signature. The
Dill, as pdSseu, SUM gives Tue L ESSiueuI
power to suspend the habeas corpus at his
own discretion, and practically place any
Southern State, or the whole South, or even
Northern state, under martial law. 1t
authorizes him in effect to set aside the
whole machinery of civil government and
substitute fer it a system similar to that uns
der which, few years ago, hundreds of
law-abiding citizens were seized and cast
into dungeons, and kept there so long as 1t
pleased the despots in Washington to hold
them. 1t makes one man the judge and abb
solute ruler of the whole country, by provid-
ing that he may determine for himself when
the civil system may be set aside, and bayon-
cts substituted for law. In all essential re-
spects the bill as it passed is just as objec-
tionable and utterly unconstituti- nal as
when it was presented to Congress.

On Sunday night, about half-pasr nine O'Clock. O
quarrel took place in Thomas Lussin's lager beer
saloon, 827 East Forty seventh street. between o
shoemaker named Jonn Schneider, OF 400 East
Forty seventh street. and George Erber Of ass East
Forty-seventh street. Blows were given and
taken by each, when Erbert st length terminated
the difficulty BY throwing Schneider out into the
street. where ne fell on his head. He was shortly
after found insensiole where no had fallen by two
OF his acquaintances, who took him to his
shop, 846 East F0rty-Seventh street, and from
thence to his boarding house, 400 East
Forty-seventh street. Yesterday morning word
was sent TO the Nineteenth precinct station house
and Captain Gunner sent Onicer Hamilton to work
up the case. H0 succeeded In arrcssing Erbert
after considerable OF search, and took him before
Justice Coulter, who committed him to await the
suit OF Schneider's injuries.
Dr. Rogers, OF 225 East Forty.eighth street. who
was called in to see the injured man. found on ex.
animation that the patient had bled from the ears
but he cannot yet say whether his skull
has been fractured or whether he has

He viii, however, be able to determine definitely
what Schneider's injuries arc this morning. OGicer
Hamilton thinks he will be able TO produce evidence
that will show that Schneider received his injury
