Department of the South. The House
Military Committee lately inquired of
Inspector General Bard : rs there

Can a mans wages be garnisheed for
taxes ?
We alluded in very cursory
manner. says the Charlotte CJsF|rcr,
to this question some days ago. Upon
further exami lat;on of the subject, we
find the law to be perfectly clear, that
q mans wages may be garnisheed for
taxes due, either to the State or Mu-
inequalities.
This power is conferred on Sheriffs
by the "a section of the Revenue Bill.
And the same power is conferred upon
City Constabies by section "a, chapter
III, Battles Revisal. So, all doubts
upon the subject are now removed.

Dom Piatt, in the Capital, TINS vim

President almost daily as we pass the
Executive Mansion. going to and from
our Office, and while his countenance
is not that of teetotal Jonadab or
Dashaway III good standing. there is
nothing in his manner to Indicate the
frightful excess with which he is char
ged. He looks to us like bon picant
who puts himself outside of bottle or
so at dinner, and retires at night in n
happy state of elevation that is as far
from sobriety as it is from drunken

MODEST.

The Universal Yankee is nothing if
not modest, and if there is anything
lovely in life or in death, it is modesty.
Modesty is a quality that highly
reporter. In fact modesty is very
fine thing, and like the currency and a
good many other good things of life.
our Northern brethren have at least
their full share of it.
Who but a modest New Englander
would have spoken thusly, as did the
Boston advertiser, of his own, his
native land?
Says the AdUertiser:
Iceland and New England are the
only two instances known in modern
history of colonies founded on prin-
ciple and peopled from higher mo-
tives than those of gain or want, and
i'll the intellectual development OF
each there is seen day the same in
dependent spirit and the outlines of
the same forms of local government.
The town meetings of New England,
which put an end to King Georges
power in the New World, are the
''chings" Of the Norsemen, where in
Iceland. Norway and Sweden the peo-
pie in each district gathered and made
the laws of the land, levied taxes and
raised armies, and without whose
sanction even the Kings mandates
were void.
Did ever any one see a finer speci
men of modesty than the above 1t
fills the bill precisely.
SO we'll indeed, that we do not see
how the Adreriser, being a newspa-
per, and a good one too, barring its
politics, can escape ruin, fer we are
quite sure that it is universally ad
mitted that modesty will ruin a news
paper. Possibly, however, the 1drer'-
Hser is lady newspaper.

,szsE WEST AND rssE SourEz

THIS Government has been run in
i the last twelve years. The Eastern
and Middle States have absolutely cor
trniled it, and the whole theory and
practice have been to foster and ttevel-
a the expense of the producing West
an South The St. Louis R"pbHIcun
)nsiders thu5 tile vote on tie cL.r rrency
b II i'll Congress is the most interest
ing and suggestive sectional division
in that body that has been seen for
years it is Il signal triumph OF tue
81, st and South over the East, and
sugg rsts, if it does not actually fore
shadow, the union Of the two yict0ri-
Ou.s { ctlons for future cOEQue>ts. The
vote in the Senate stood For il fla
ton, 3G against, 81 majority, :.
Tle political division on the Qnt stion
has no significance whatever, except TO
Stow that both Democrats and Repub-
licans are at sea, and neither have a
division alone that is worth studying.
This shows that the Western aid
Southern Senators united, without
regard to politics, to carry the bill
over the head Of the Eastern Senator's,
the result being triumph Of the ag
| ricultural interest over the CONNER
cial and moneyed interest. 1t would
rather be surprising if, having dis
covered the power of this new section
nj uniun, they shall not further com
| pact it for future occasions. Indeed,
the conso idation of the West and
| South into the governing authority OF
the country appears to be the prOba-
| bic product of this vote on the cur
rency bill. The monstrous official
corruptions that have been developed
at the East, the growing divisions in
New England, and the lamentable de-
cay of public spirit in Massachusetts,
! i exhibited IN !he recent history of
many of her public men, conspire with
the growing habit of independent
thinking in the West to make an OPP
portunity for this transfer of power.
| The very fact that the East is anxious
only to preserve things just as they
are, and that the other two sections
are becoming violently and aggressive
| lv clamorous for something better
than the present condition of things,
is, of itself, an Indication of the drift
of events in this direction"

The Gozden Age says: ''However

tempt to suppress intemperance has
been, it has at least aroused people to
fresh interest in the temperance
question. To be sure, a great deal OF
nonsense has been talked by the advo-
Gates of total abstinence; but the at

SOUTH BEND, IND, Arril 90, 1874.

South BEND, IND, April 90, 1874.
| To the Editor Of tie Inter- Ocean:
SIR:-For several days past your
| Washington dispatches have informed
the country that certain delegations
| from New York Gn the interests of
| Wall street, have beer frantical,y i'm
currency bill, and to pi0Lute and
Mtca,'t the wishes of the people as ex-
pressed by them through their repre-
sentatives i'll Congress-, in the passage
of that bill.
Now, can you inform an unsophisti-
Gated "Hoositr' whether or not these
delegations are composed of tie same
men, or do not they represent the same
class who so frantically besought the
President Through Reverdy Johnson)
during the panic last fall to even
violate his oath of office, and the Con-
stitution of the United States, in order
to give them more greenbacks c1rre-
decmable currency"), and to issue the
$44, 900 reserve as the only salvation of
the country?
What has brought about such a
wonderful change i'll their sentiments
within few brief months D.? Is not
the demand for more currelcy as
urgent as then? and ought the requests
of such men to receive respectful
consideration? HOOsIER.
REPLY.
The questions of our Indiana cor
respondent are fair, and are entitled
to a respectful answer. The men who
presented the two petitions may or
may not be the same; but the class is
identically the same. During the
panic this class wanted more currency,
and appealed piteously to the Presi-
dent to direct the issue of more.
When he declined to fully comply
with their petition they issued
$2O,OO0,00O of their own currency as
desperate measure 20 save them from
ruin. That was their measure of pub
lie policy when they wanted more
money. AS currency few weeks
afterward flowed into New York to be
loaned on call, and these petitioners
became easier i'll their finances, they
assumed that all the rest of their coun-
trymen ought to be content, and have
been indifferent to the distress of all
other classes whose property does not
happen to be in bonds and mortgages
and other coliaterals easily converted
into money.
The President has practically an
swered the last interrogatory OF our
"Hoosier' friend, and most etlectually.

The Nashville Banner, in referring
to the corruption pervading the Re
publican party, says that the country
is surging with indignation at the dis
graceful state of affairs brought to

That the country is making a note of
what is going on, says the Banner, is
evidenced by the Spring political

Fall freshets will be simply irresistible
in their impetuous sweep in the same

THE SOUTHERN STATES .tND
ENEIAE'EON

The New York Herald, in view Of
the fact that the Southern States went
in Congress for imitation, takes back all
the kind words it has ever said for
Louisiana and every other Southern
State, and hopes that States now fully
represented may "by such facts as are
On foot in Arkansas, Justify the occu-
patton Of their State houses indetin-
itely by the national troops" Ia a
word, the Herald wants to see the
Southern States ruled out of Congress
until they will vote to suit it.

Out in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the
women have now got things reduced
to system. Instead of being at the
trouble to go around in the mud to
pray and sing, they just put up a
sentry box in front of each saloon, and
station a lady in it to take down the
name and note the condition of every
man who enters or leaves it. It is
said to work like charm. The fair
sentries delight in their duty, and do
not welcome the rustic of petticoats
that indicates the approach of the re-
lief. The occupation has an irresist,-
BILE attraction for the feminine mind,
combining as it does the present charm
of minding other folks business, the
permanent utility of laying up so re-
liable a stock of gossip as these obser-
vations afford, and finally, the COM
Portable sense of serving a orcat moral

A Little Girl X Killed by Red Ants.

Mr.. T. G. Jones informs us of the
singular death of little colored girl
on his farm, near Auburn. The girl
went to some sills that had been used
for the purpose of cutting up meat, and
on which there was large number of
red ants. While asleep the ants by
hundreds m .de an attack on the child,
and when she awoke she was literally
covered with them, and all busy biting
and singing. They were SO ferocious
that a woman on the place had to
sweep them off with brush broom.
The biting and singing were SO very
serious that fever eLsued, which,
coupled with the poison of the bites,
produced death two days afterward.-

that he was guilty of the offense, and
was actuated by desire to avenge
himself for being accused Gas he said)
of threat to burn a certain house.
