United States, exclusive of 10000 in
Alaska, is about 100000, of which $780,,
600 are self-supporting; $4,000 are
supported in part by the Government ;
$1,000 by the Government entirely !;

$4,000 as wholly savage, In the 81,
600 "civiized" the Molocs were iu-

more specimens of a similar civilization.

THE Supreme Court of Illinios has
just rendered decision which is of i'm
portance to the public, as confirming the
principle that railroad corporations may
not make contracts between themselves
that are detrimental to the public inter
ests, and that contracts which impair
their duty as common carriers are void
as to the public, even though they may
be enforced as between the two contract
ing parties.

The Vicksburg Ne,cs, IN plain
talk to the members of the Legisla
ture, makes this sensible recon-
mendation in relation to the rev.
enue:
Instead of laying a tax on "cap.
|ftal invested in merchandise" il
should be on the ''saIes of merchan-
disc" and if your last Revenue Law
had been in that way, no county
in the State would now owe a
dollar, as we will proceed to show
you.
When you tax the 'scapital in
vested in merchandise" every mer-
chant is interested to represent his
capital at the very lowest figure.
Why, there are merchants in this
city, whose stocks on hand never
are less than from $6O,OOO to $780,
O0O, who only pay tax on from $780,
600 to $4,000 as "capital invested
in merchandise" Many grocery
merchants do a large commission
business and sell $4,000 or $50,
600 worth of goods. and only pay
tax on $4,000 or $1,000 worth of
capital invested, or only about one
tenth of the amount of sales; be-
sides, every merchant has a pride
IN the amount of his sales, and will
not underrate them as they some.

most unblushing frauds-in one in
stance having filled up and sigued
over thirteen hundred certificates
for imaginary negroes who had been
'intimidated,' and not permitted to

did MT think there was sny harm in
signing bogus certificates aud ballot
box stufiDg, as it was the common
practice for years-in 1868 and
ever since. He stated these Things
giibly and with the most perfect
nonchalance, not seeming TO be con

found to be defiled with the pitch,
covered with the slime of this Cred

corrupti0nists hold the purse strings
of the nation in their hands.
The Vicksburg Herald, that keeps
a diurnal argus-eye on the doings
of the Committee of Investigation,
says, the crust of the huge fraud

The committee must go on, though
inclined TO relieve the guilty and
silence the national scandal by a

ing the criminals from punishment.
That game is no longer possible.

fident that resolutions will be offer

every man rieidly to the record for

at present, seems to be the only
black sheep in the Democratic fold.
While urging the punishment OF
Radical bribe-takers, we wish it dis
tlnctly understood that we do not
desire this degenerate representa-

forgotten. Let him follow bis fei-
