with the mob-ramble which compelled
his recognition last spring, nominally as
Governor, but really as the instrument
of their malice and relentless hate of |
political opponents. With such a har-
vest of the aftermath of the cancellation |
policy it is no longer possible to give
it even an appearance of popularity
among Republican members of Congress
and there appears growing disposition
among those who have advocated the
greatest latitude for experiment to hold
every one who have exercised to right,
to stern account for the fruits that
have resulted
European affairs have been been more
discussed during the past week than
during all the preceding months of the
war; and among neither of the two par
ties to our late civil conflict is there OBJ
servable any marked degree of sympathy
for John Bull now that calamities threat
en- and fear cometh. 1t seems to be felt
that if he has at last fallen victim to
his game of duplicity and double-dealing
it was fate he had provoked by for
elgn policy dictated by no higher inter-
ests than those of the most groveling ava
rice and heartless selfshness. Some of the
chickens incubated and Matched during
our rebellion are evidently getting home
to roost.
The reconciliation question has drag
ged its slow length through another
week and it is still unsafe TO predict
when an end will be reached. Its decid-
ed opponents and those not classed as
friends have occupied most of the time
during the week.
The close vote on the proposition to
substantially review the income tax law,
with subsequent indications, leads to
the belief that another and successful
effort may be made by its movers. AL
most two-thirds the majority needed to
pass it-voted in its favor in the House.
and there is disposition to classify the
ayes and hayes and to base calculations
as to the result of the next vote, on the
worldly possession of members, those
fortunate in this respect having much tc
say of the odious character of an in
come tax now, and those deficient claim
ing it as the most equitable method o.
imposing taxes.
