question which seems to give so much dis

of Reuben Smith.
do not desire or intend in this article,
to defend my personal or public life, or at
tempt to yindicate our public schools.
II would bc unwise and imprudcnt for
me to attempt to fight against Mr.. Smiths
ignorance and vcnality, and doubly So,
were to array myself againsta white man
who, having sought and failed to
obtain position throigh his white as
sociates, stands concealed in darkness,
blacker than midnight, and shovcs
his pen, made vile by impious hands, for
the purpose of obtaining through the OLSEN
Sions of colorcd men, what he has failed to
get, for lack of merit, from his own people.
That the first letter addressed me, was
written by white man. the writer himself
will not deny, The communication of Mr..
Smith, published in this mornings issue of
THE BULLETIN. was written by the same
man, or one possessing equal brains and
equal courage,
While these communications are, no
doubt, intended for me, they are, neycrthe
less unjust reflections against the county

she has been second time elected, and
from whom our teachers. both white and

neither read nor write, he is wholly incom-

securing . trade and eommercs that will add
largely to American Interests, and which
deserves the most generous encouragement
at the hands Of our Government and people.
The establishing Of regular lines of frst-
class steamers between this country and
Brazil necessarily involves heavy expcn-
diture OF money on the part Of the enter
prising firm who have taken the work in
hand, as well as great risk in pushing the
matter to success. The question very
naturally arises, should these capitalists put
their money in jeopardy in q work Of so
much national importance without some
recognition and encouragement from their
Governments They conceived the enter
prise without the slightest assurance, or the
seeking Of assurance of aid from this source.
They now have two large ships aHoat and
one nearly ready for sea, with others in
progress of construction. They do not now
approach their Government in the attitude
Of mendicants. They ask no gift or subsidy
that does not bear the impress Of legitimate
and full reciprocity. They ask for contract
to convey the mails, which now 60 chiefly
to Europe first, and then to Brazil in Eng
lish bottoms, between this country and the
Brazilian Empire, and to receive therefor no
more than generously just compensation,
thus securing efficiency, directness, and
regularity to that branch Of the service
under q reasonable remuneration.
II occurs to us that the courageous en-
Iterprise Of the projectors Of this measure Of
international intercourse and trade with a
nation Of growing importance deserves q
higher recognition than indifference, or q
mere wish-it-well from our Congress. II
should not only be applauded, but encour-
aged with generosity Of spirit becoming
the occasion. This effort to open direct
steam communication between this country
and South America, under the American
flag and with ample and most excellent &C,
commodations for both passengers and
freight, deserves to be richly endowed with
American favor and foster-care. Our ma
tional Importance on the ocean and with
other countries will grow with our COM
mercial expansion, thus adding to our na-
tional and individual strength, prosperity

TAXATION or LFGACIEs.

While the necessity Of an increase of tax
alton is almost universally admitted, in
consequence Of the falling Off Of the re E.
nues from internal taxes and duties on i'm
ports, there seems to be one source from
which large amount Of money could be
gathered that has escaped the attention of
the Committee OH Ways and Means. 1t is
currently reported that there is o growing
feeling in certain portions Of the country
that the income tax should be re-enacted,
but there seems to be grave objections to
its imposition. Much certainly can be said
on both sides Of the question. There can
be no reasonable opposition, however, to
levying duty on legacies and successions
within proper limitations. Persons who in
herit money that they never earned GER
tainly can reasonably afford to pay tax
thereon. The law that was in force on the
subject read as follows:
That any person or persons having in charge
or trust, US administrators, executors, or trus-
tees, any legacies or distributive shares arising
from personal property, where the whole
amount Of such personal property, as aforesaid,
shall exceed the sum Of 81 600 in actual value,
passing, aver tne passipe oi TINS act, from any
person possessed Of such property, either by
will or by the intestate laws of any State or
Territory, or any personal property or interest
therein, transferred by deed, grant, bargain,
sale, or gift, made or intended to take effect in
possession or enjoyment after the death of the
grautor or bargsinor, to any person or persons,
or to any body or bodies polite or corporate,
in trust or otherwise, shall be, and hereby are,
made subject to n duty or tax, to be paid to
the United States, as follows:
The lneal issue or lineal ancestor, brother
or sister, paid one per cent. /; descendants
Of brother or sister, two per cent, and then
it went on according to the degree Of con
sanguinity, to tax the beneficiary of the
deceased, four, five, and six per cent. TIL,
heritage of the husband or wife was exempt
and the junior child exempt on 81 900, tn,
assessment being lien on the property fo
twenty years. 1t was made the duty of til,
administrator, executor, or trustee, as tn,
case might he, to make returns for assess
ment under pain Of personal liability
Similar taxation was levied OH the successor
of real estate. When the law was repealed
there was . saving clause as to accruinl
rights of beneiciaries, and the Interna
Revenue Department is at this time enforc
ing the payment Of the tax whenever thu
fact is brought to the notice of the Com
missioner that legatees are coming int
possession of property bequeatkSd to then
while the law was in force. The followin,
table shows the amounts collected, leavin,
off fractions of dollars, during the year
