THE proposal to increase the national
taxes SO, 900, 600, says the Pittsburg Poat,
is exciting a debate in Congress that is
likely to show the workings of the Radi-
cal iinancicrs in anything but an enviable
light. Mr.. Dawes, the Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, was forced
to admit that in the present condition of
affairs, it was impossible to so limit the es-
Inmates for the present fiscal year that an
increase of taxation to the extent of forty
or fifty millions will make up for the Ge-
ficicncy and intimates that the necessary
increase of taxation will be greater. Dawes
thinks that some four millions of dollars
of extra salaries might be turned into the
Treasury by those who are now drawing
them. We nsver knew before that Mr.
Dawes was given to humor. The idea of
Radical officials covering in their extra sal
aries is excessively funny.

BAzAIsE FOUND GUILTY.-The counsel
for Marshal Bazaine concluded his address
to the court at Versailles OF Wednesday
last. He demanded an acquittal and claim
ed the prosecution was a political one
The prosecutor i'll closing the case said a
terrible example should be made of the ac-
cused as a lesson to the rising generation.
Then Razaine himself introduced a dram
attic incident. Before the judges withdrew
to determine their verdict, he said Il
have two words in my breast--Tonor and
Country. [ have never been wanting to-
wards this proud motto during my forty
two years of service. | swear before
Christ that l have not betrayed France
After long .deliberation the judges,
headed by the Orleans Prince D'Aumale,
declared Bazaine guilty of the charges of
the capitulation of Metz, and of the army
in the open field, without doing all that
was prescribed by honor and duty to avoid
a surrender, and unanimously condemned
him to death, and 30 be degraded from bis
rank previous to his execution. The SEN
tence includes the payment of costs and
his expulsion from the Legion of Honor.
The crowd about the palace where the
court held its sittings warmly cheered
when the verdict was rendered. After
judgment had been given, all the membera
of the court signed an appeal for mercy,
yeyed III person to President Mac Mahon.
Bazaine was greatly agitated when he
heard the decision of the court.
On Friday President MacMahon comma
ted the sentence of death against the Mar
shal two twenty years seclusion. He is
to bear the effects of degradation from his
rank, but will be spared any humiliating
ceremony. The result of this commuta-
tion of Bazaiue's punishment will be his
enforced residence in place designated
by the government, where he will be under
the immediate and constant surveillance
of the police during the entire period OF
his seclusiOn. He will therefore be, to all
lntents and purposes, a prisoner, although
he will at no time be lodged in Jail, or re-
stTicted in his daily habits or personal
movements. He is to be spared the hU-
initiation of any ceremony in his degrade
! ton from his rank in the army, but he has
ceased to be a marshal of France or even
an officer i'll her army, and likewise loses
his position III the legion of honor, and all
tho other orders with which he had been
decorated.

Since the adoption of the Constitution
of the United States there have been ten
apportionments-one under the Constitu-
ton itself and nine under the census taken
every ten yean. The basis of representa-
tion in 1889 under the Constitution was
one representative to every 10000 inhab-
itants, there being thirteen States and six
ty-ive members of the house; the second
apportionment, in 1890. was one to 81
600 the third, in 1900, was the same
$4,000; the fourth, in 1910, was 81, 900 !:
the fifth, in 1920, was 10000; the sixth
in 1880, was $4,000; the seventh. in
in 1910, was 10000; the eighth, in 1850
was 9l,42O the ninth, in 1870, was 1885,

ACCIDENT TO Circus PERFORMER IN
THE STREET. As the procession of
wagons, chariots and other adjuncts of
Howe's circus, was passing up Gay, near
East street, yesterday morning, one of the
fore wheels of the globe chariot left the
axel, causing the front portion of the mas
sive vehicle to drop to the street, and
pitching out the young woman who was
seated on the globe, elevated twenty-six
feet from the ground. From this lofty
perch she was violently thrown through
an awning over the sidewalk to the pave
ment, striking by stander inner descent
When picked up it was found that one of
the small bones in her left wrist was
broken, and that her spine had been in
jured. She was removed to the circus
tent, on Belair lot, and after being attended
to by DIR. Stein, was conveyed to her hotel
She was badly hurt, and the accident

utter uncertainty. The bulletins Of to-day

and opinions founded upon cable dispatches
are found 70 be as often erroneous as other

is difficult, therefore, for the American
public to form any very accurate opinion
upon the state of European politics, since
it has to depend mainly upon mere idle
speculations which seem to be Oftener errO-

This lack Of information on the part Of
foreign journalists and correspondents,
probably arises from condition Of things

THE ARLINGTON EsrATE.-The Wash

contemporary who, it says, falls into an
error when it says that the property
(Arlington) was forfeited to the govern.

into the Confederate service. II is true
that in technical and legal sense Airing
ton did not so become the property of the
United States government, as under our
constitution and laws no real estate can be
confseated in perpetuity or in fee but
only during the lifetime of the owner, and
then upon trial and proper decree of a
court. The government, however, early
took possession Of the Arlington property
and then awaited ofthe discreditable dodge
Of setting it up and selling it for unpaid
federal taxes thus to get a tax title on
which to hold it in perpetuity. All sub.
sequent offers to redeem it in behalf of lis
real owner, Mrs. Lee, have been disre-
garded, and thus this dear home Of her
