The Income Tax and Collectors.

If there is anything in the whole
range of the Radical programme which
Radicals delight in and gloat over, and
which tickles them from the crown Of
their heads to finger and toe ends, it is
the collection of taxes. If Radical
revenue officer is ever pleased it is when
he can make a tax paper shell out. On
such occasions their pompous bearing,
their official strut, their authoritative
utteranees are all indicative of the feel
ing that they are masters and all others
slaves. The iniquities that have heen
pract;ced under the revenue laws since
Radicals have been running the govern
mental machine, and which has been
permitted to pass unSebuked, would lead
one to conclude that the old theory
which proclaimed that the people are
masters aud the officers only servants of
the people. is buried. These Radical
revenue officers have no more regard for
law than a Camauche Indian, they con
strue law to suit the practice of extorting
money, andahis has been the practice
since the time when an inscrutible Prov
idence permitted the land to be cursed
by Radical rule.

Red Hook, Long Island in company
with a small box answering to the
description of that in which the watches
were shipped The mysterious head has
never been fully explained, but the box
was identified by parties as that in which
the watches we're shipped.
The Express Company coatended that
the box had been delivered, and that
receipt had been obtained from the con-
sguee; also, that il not delivered the
company's liability was limited to S5U

closed its value, as required by clause
in the receipt.

the plaintiff TO have been for ii simiinr
box delivered about the same time The
box Of watches should have been de-
liyered. but which contained only dia-

receipt, it was proved to have been the
duty of the receiving clerk OF the CON
pauy to ask the value of each package
presented for transportation. aud it WAS
argued in behalf OF plaintiff that, either
the receiving clerk neglected his duty,
or if he did not neglect it, and made the
customary inquiry, he received truth
