MYs FERROUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A
WATCH.-At the hotel in Dover on Thurs
day night a gentleman from Baltimore was
entertaining crowd of men who had a
rather rural appearance about them with
what is known as tricks in sleight of hand.
The crowd watched him with eagerness place
silver pieces in the palm of his hand and
cause the same to disappear without any APP
parent action OH his part. Glasses were
emptied and filled with water as though by
spirit hands, the clock swayed to and fro on
its fastcnings, and other feats equally as re-
markable were performed. Finally one Of
the crowd, man named Potter, with his
breeches tucked In his boots, sidled up and
the purpose of showing him trick that was
worth two OF his own. The article was
handed over. He showed it into his trousers
between the waistband, and then told the
Baltimore gentleman that he could not find
it, and he was as good as his word, for up to
late hour yesterday afternoon the watch, a
fine gold hunting case, had not been found,
although the man was stripped five minutes
after the occurrence. Esquire Dickson held
the offender to ball in the sum of $500, but it
is certainly mystery what became Of the
watch, and more SO to the man who was
beaten at his own game than anybody else.--

LAND SALES TO NORTHERN SETTLERS
Capt. J. C. Griffin yesterday sold two
farms in Prince George county to settlers
from the North. who will take charge Of
them in time to put in the spring crops.
During the last few weeks good many
gentlemen from the North have been pros
pecting for lands in this section. Some Of
them report that If the farmers at the North
could sell their lands to advantage there
would be a much larger immigration to Vir-
glnia aud the South than there has been
heretofore. They believe anyhow that a
great many Northern femilies will move to
Virginia this year. The settlers among us
are sending favorable accounts Of our CHI
mate, soil, and people to their friends in the
North, and are thus inducing them to come
down among us.-Inder-Appealo the 9th

by smiling at the good-natured chaff

his troops were massed near their en-

and with spades to intrench the ground

bearers in a group at the rear, a sug-

Speaking of Mexican outrages on the

says that this Government should see
that its citizens are protected at all

The Enquirer means that citizens are

General Batter on the Tariff.

In his speech before the Middlesex
Club in Boston last Saturday General
Butler defined his position on most of
the leading questions of the day. OF
the tariff he spoke IS follows:
The other leading question to be set
tled-the tariffs one of great magni-
tude. Free trade will reduce the reve-
of the government; the deficiency
must be made up from some other
source. 1 shall oppose an increase of
the tax on tea and coffee. These are to
be found on the poor mans breakfast
table, and the more the poor man
drinks of tea and coffee the less whisky
will he consume. The present tax on
tea and coffee does not really make
them any higher. The importer never
hears of a reduction, but always Of an
increase, as it really does not vary the
price much at the present rate. We
cannot tax rum any more, because ut
the present high rate it is impossible to
collect as much rs we might get if the
tax was lower and there was not so
much inducement to fraud. High du-
dies always lead TO smuggling. We
cannot tax tobacco any more, because
it is already so highly taxed that tobac-
CO frauds are greater than the whisky
frauds. The only thing left, therefore,
is the income. If these gentlemen in
terested in free trade press the abolish
ment Of the taxes from which the gov
eminent now receives its revenues, l
shall suggest a renewal of the tax
on incomes. The old tax on incomes
was not an income tax, according to my
ideas. What should be taxed rs an in
come is what comes from invested
property. Under the old law Of taxing
incomes, what n man received, whether
from his personal labor or otherwise,
was recorded as an income. That
really is only IN income which comes
from invested property. That is to say,
from property which would produce IN
income whether = man were alive or
dead. If produced 10y his personal SER
vices, as for wages, etc, it would not
be an income. / would not assess the
man who receives the income, thus
making the amount he would pay de-
pendent upon the elasticity of his con-
science, as it is a constant temptation
TO fraud; but since the income is paya-
BILE from invested property, | would
make the payer reserve from his pay
ment the income tax. For example,
the mortgagor, when he paid the mort
gage his interest, would hand over rs
part payment of the interest his United
States receipt for the tax on it, and |
eve knew a mortgagor who was
willing to commit fraud for the benefit
of the mortgage. This is not Il new
idea; but this mode is stated i'll sched-
ule &c" of the income tax of Great
Britain. There is no reason why this
should not be extended to the income
from u bonds, whether held ut home
or abroad, a there is no provision that
the income from bonds shall be exempt
from taxation. This is done 10y Eng
land, and the English Government,
when it pays interest oil any of its
bonds, whether to foreigners or natives,
always reserves its tax, and we can GER
tainly safely follow the example of our
mother country.
