z One of the forms in which the spirit of COM
munsm manifests itself in France is in the
sdvo cacy of what is styled progressive taxation,
or the taxing Of every man according to his
wealth. They propose something like the fol-
lowing scale, reducing French currency to
dollars
All incomes above 81 900 aud under 80 900 per
arnum are to pay per cent; 80 900, and under
5000, per cent; - 900, and under 81 900, 3
per cent; 81 900, and under 5000, 4 Per cent.

per cent; - 600, and under so, 900. per cent;
$1,000, and under 81, 900, 10 per cent.
Here the difference of per cent decreases.
For instance, $1,000 to $4,000 must paw u:
500 600 to $50 900, IS; $50 600 to 1000 90 and
from $4,000 to 100000 must pay % per cent.
Some, however, are disposed to insist that no
man Is entitled TO larger income than 80. 900
francs CS10,0O0) per year, and, further, that "no
one Is entitled TO the superiuities of life while
another wants for necessities A" 1t should he

WASHINGTON CITY:
SATURDAY......- May RI, 1873.

The interest felt both by public men and
private citizens in the project to permanently
establish at the national capital an educational
institution Of the highest and brOadest scope is
shown in the most satisfactory manner by the
congregation last evening of nearly hundred
gentlemen, recognized everywhere a. repre-
sentatives of substance and culture, to discuss
interchange views on the subject. Beyond
any place in the country, Washington combines
the appliances which the thorough student re-
quires in his pursuit OF knowledge. and il only
needs that these ample resources should be
utilized and placed at the service OF scholars to
give TO a university located here advantages tar
superior to those possessed by any like institu-
ton in this country. and equalled by few in the
world. To make these appliances available,
and to convert Chen into direct educational
agencies, " the work that the Overseers and
trustees OF Columbian University have set for
themselves TO 10. In the liberal charter and
endowments of Columbian College they have a
most excellent starting point, and it now only
needs the influence and aid OF the men who are
interested in the progress and welfare of the
country 10 make il at once AN ornament and
benefit. not only TO the city where IT is located.
but 20 the whole nation. And this they are al
most certain to have, if the meeting OF last
evening NAV be taken as an indication. "a we
think II safely NAV be. The signs are most
encouraging, and We shall be both surprised
and disappointed if they do not bear rich fruit
and IN abundance.

The MEXICAN vice consul at San Antonio,
Texas, has telegTaphed the Mexican minister in
this city the statement that on the Eth instant
Colonel Mackenzie, with five hundred United
States troops, crossed the Rio Grande above
PIedras Negras, and attacked the I.ipan Mas
calerO>. party of KickapOoS, killing nineteen,
taking more than thirty prisoners, and captur-
ing great many horses. The matter will
doubtless be made the subject of protest by the
Mexican authorities TO the United States gov
eminent, which, IL Is understood, is not disposed
To censuTe very severely COlenel Mackenzie's
action under the circumstances. The wonder is
that the nited States troops have never before
crossed the Rio Grande IN pursuit OF the Mexi-
can and Indian cattle thieves. As long ago as
in 1871 General Sherman. in a letter 70 the Sec
Rotary of War, said
''These sudden irruptiOns from Mexico have
been OF frequent occurrence, and the Rio
Grande being fOrdable gives the Indians a Ger
tain and safe retreat, a. we cannot cross the
border in pursuit. Mexico ought to be liable for
acts OF war done by Indians owing her allegi-
ance, and our people charge that these Indians
are not only haTbOred. but that the horses and
Captiyes are openly sold IN the Mexican towns
beyond the Rio Grande."
So uncomfortable did these OutrageS become
that commission was sent to the Rio Granie
TO investigate, and in their report TO the Secre-
tary OF State last December they said:
The action of the local MEXICAN authorities
has been characterized by duplicity, connivance
at fraud. or complete sub>eTviency to "A cor
Tupt military rule, and that under the irving
circumstances of being confronted on the on
PO>ite bank of the Rio Grande by a foreign
army, which has given protection for a series
OF year To the invaders of American territory
the United States has, through its officers kept
peace, preserved neutrality. and acted with
cantor and justice. mindful OF its lOng-estab-
h>hed friendly feeling TO a sister republic"
In forwarding the commissioners report 10
Congress, the President urged the necessity of
action, but nothing was done by that body to
remedy existing evils.
While the invasion OF a neighbOring state by
an armed force Il strictly a cGsus JeUi it is not
probable that anything serious will grow out of
Msekenzie's impetuOus pursuit OF a band OF
Indian horse-thieyes, even though he did invade
the sacred soil of Mexico. on the contrary this
about better understanding between the two
countries anu break up the organized system of
plumber and robbery which has existed for years
past on the Rio Grande. Viewed IN this light
Col. Nackenzie's raid may be a blessing in dis
guise, at any rate, il will bring to a decisive
point matter which has long been evaded and
shuif.ed of by Mexico.
