RAsCALITY OFINTERNAL REVENUE
OFFICIALS

During a recent debate in the United
States Senate upon the tariff, Senator Al
corn, Radical, from Mississippi, gave free
expression to his opinion about the Federal
Revenue system, and more especially of
the dishonesty Of the officers OF the Gov
eminent who are sent out to rake the eOun-
try. The reader will be struck with the
severe manner in which Mr.. Alcorn de-
nounces these beasts of prey that the ad-
minstration sends TO levy contributions mp
on the poor South. If such testimony
comes from Radical, what must have been
the prOvocation-hOw great must bave
been the evil-that brought it about. Mr..
Acorn said:
al speak from my own knowledge when
| say that, in my judgment, not One-tenth
of the internal revenue tax that has been
collected in North Mississippi since the
close of the War-cotton tax and internal
revenue tax of all kinds-has found its way
into the Treasury of the United States. To
a people poor as the people Of Mississippi
are-for they are poor indeed-it is a con-
llludl oOulCC VI HlIbdJlOii, SOllpldiflJ anu
annoyance, that they pay these large taxes,
and yet the government is none the better
off for the payment.
"Why sir, last year a man appointed in
ternal revenue collector for the North
ern district of Mississippi defaulted
for all he collected. His bail was
not worth a cent; it was straw bail;
and | believe-at least, | am told
upon what conceive to be good authority
that little while before he failed for all
of it he came here and got six thousand
dollars of revenue stamps and sold them,
and that is all gone; and not dollar has
gone into the treasury. | do not see how
the Government can improve this until men
of different character are sent there TO
hold Office. Sir, I would vote against the
continuation of the internal revenue tax,
income tax, and all, if that vote involved an
increase of customs duties of twenty-five
per cent. Yes, would vote to double the
duties, so far as We are concerned, rather
than continue this odious internal revenue
tax, with a horde of officers worse than
Pharaohs locusts and all the plaques Of
Egypt sitting upon the body Of the people,
eating out their substance, draining their
life's blood, and all in the name of patriot

PLANTING FOREST TREES.

A short time ago we mentioned the fact
that tree planting was being carried on in
the Northwest TO large extent. We have
before us petition to Congress, introduced
iuto the Wisconsin Legislature by Nh.
Allen, asking The aid of the Government
in making large plantations Of trees on the
Western plains. The memorial sets forth
that the State of Wisconsin, as well as the
other Northwestern States, is suffering
severely through The inclemency of the
western aud southwestern winds. which
burn and Either in summer, and in
crease the frequency and intensity
Of drouths in summer, and also
increase the degree Of cold in winter, which
has amalign influence upon fruit and upon
many other products Of the soil. 1t sets
forth the we'll settled doctrine among
meteOrolOgists that the winds which pro-
duce these inclemencies cross the arid
plains lying 10 the eastward of the great
ranges Of mountains near our western
course, where they are wrung of their mois-
ture, and in that dry state are forced
through the Northwestern States, produc-
ing the extreme seventies of both winter
and summer. The fact is stated that the
western plains are destitute of trees, and
that history and science demonstrate
the necessity Of forests to increase
humidity and TO reduce the liability
of the climate TO extremes of
hot or cold. Forests increase the warmth
to 4 cold atmosphere and cools it when
very warm, aud also has visible influence
upon the rainfall. These beneficial influ-
ences are not confined 70 the Immediate Vi
cinity Of the forests but are extended in B.
greater Or less degree over the whole course
of the path Ct the wind passing over forests
in their course.
NJ. Matthew, Professor III the school of
Forestry at Nancy, in France, read paper
before the Congress AgritoIe Libre in 1860,
which contains some facts worthy of con-
sideralion and which bear strictly upon this
question. We copy them from a transla-
ton in the Prairie Farmer, showing:
l. The influence Of the forest upon the
rainfall Of the country. Two points some
miles distant from each other, one in the
wooded and the other in the cultivated
country, nearly the same height above the
level Of the sea, and in other respects alike,
were chosen, and the amount of rainfall
with the folio wing results:
