Liberian Exodus Association. The utmost
excitement Is represented to have existed
among the negro population. and the ship

several times before the number could be re.
duced to that allowed by law.
Those who were forcibly detained will
doubtless prove the fortunate ones before
long. This exodus scheme Is. no doubt
another cold-blooded speculation on the igno-
rance and credulity Of these poor people, as
the Freedman's Bank affair was. and it
would be as well for the government to

The concentration of wealth In the hands O
few persons is still steadily going or
IN this country and threatening our re-
publican institutions as they have never
been threatened before. When the panic
and hard times came 1t was generally
thought that these would serve at least
any good end in cutting down and de-
stroying the mushroom growth of men who
had made their fortunes by the war. Instead
Of this being the case however, the hard
times seem to have had exactly the opposite
effect from what was expected. and affect and
injure only the poor.
New York, OF course, makes tho most alarm
Ing exhibit Of this tendency OF capital to con-
contrate In the hands of few OF any State In
the Union. New York city Is rapidly acou-
mulating all the wealth of the Empire State,
and Indeed of the whole country. The nine
hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants Of
Manhattan Island own moro property
than the s,soo.ooo people Of the rest Of the
State; and this disproportion 70 constantly

II appears that the Attorney General has
not been entirely captured by Mr. Charles L
Howard. Mr.. Devens has not the pluck tC
direct the enforcement Of the law against the
Louisiana Lottery King, but neither has he
the indecency to affirm that the law against
the circulation of lottery and indecent matter
through the mails is unconstitutional He
evades the whole question and hands 1t over
to Mr.. Key, the Postmaster General. The
decent people of this city and State will now
anxiously wish to learn whether Mr.. Key was
or was not bought Of up Mr.. Charles r.
Howard during his late visit TO Washington.
We pause for a reply from Mr.. Key.

The Ohio Legislature is In a quandary over
the resignation OF one Of its members, one
O'Connor, who is charged with being an ex-
convict OF the Michigan penitentiary. O'Con-
nor denies the charge, and yet he insists on
resigning, while his party friends insist just
as strongly that his resignation be not ao-
cepted and that he undergo an investigation.
In similar case the United States Senate
paid no attention to like charge made
against certain individual claiming a seat
In that body-which he did not get but not

that followed here; there seems no doubt, how
ever, that our system Is much the more com
Portable and agreeable to the taxpayer. II
England, for instance, there are a score o
taxes, poor rates, church rates, water rates
etc, all Of which are collected by different col
lectors and at different periods of the year
Instead of opening an Office in some conve
nient place and requesting the taxpayer tc
call around and settle whenever convenient
these collectors pursue their unfortunate vic.
tim to his domicile and continue to dun him,
day after day, until paid for in England it Is
the tenant and seldom the landlord who owes
and pays the taxes.
And the tenant does pay his taxes, never
resists them. Think OF that In the land of
John Hampden and tax reslsters, where an
attempt to collect taxes once produced a
bloody civil war. Tax resistance to-day Is
practically unknown In England; the English
man growls good deal over his rates, it Is
true whatever he loves and honors he growls
over-but he pays them after all.
How different Is 1t In this country. When
Dickens WAS over here he paid Americans Il
deserved compliment for the promptitude
with which they stepped up and paid their
taxes. "The tax collector does not come to
your house." he says, "but invites you to
his Imagine an Englshman hunting up this
collector to pay his taxes to him" But this
promptltude, which struck Dickens so forci-
bly,, and seemed to him an earnest proof that
Americans felt patriotic pride In their
country and were willing to aid 1t In every
way possible, is now, alas extinct-no longer
exists; and we have become instead a race of
confirmed tax-resisters. The disease Is grow
ing worse every year; at first it was only legal
taxes that were resisted, now it Is all; ut first
It was only few litigious persons that
fought the government, soon it became the
whole mass Of the property holders; tax
resisting associations and tax-ressting
leagues were organized everywhere to fight
the government in every court The bit
terness of this feeling has been demon
strated by the late tax rebelions in
several Kentucky and Missouri counties,
where the tax offices were broken into, the
books burned, and the collectors warned not
to attempt the collection of any taxes under
threat Of lynch law.
The various States and municipalities have,
on the other hand, made their tax laws more
and more stringent each year, Georgia 60
ing to the extremity of disfranchising all tax
resisters.
Thus the war between the government and
taxpayers goes on, becoming more bitter
every year. If promptness In the payment of
taxes be proof Of patriotism, patriotic feelings
are rapidly on the wane In this country Such
ls one Of the fruits of bad government, heavy
and fraudulent debts and the general political
disorder, peculation and mismanagement that
The Republican party has developed wherever
It has held full sway.

A London correspondent Of a New York
paper has been studying the question of taxes
In England. and draws some comparisons be-
tween the way in which these are paid in the
Old country and here, not at all aattering to
the people OF the United States. Indeed, in
the matter OF taxes. the two countries seem
to have completely reversed their positions

Church Of Norwich, thus defines his position:
GAS read the New Testament, tho church Of
any community is nothing less than the whole
company of believers there dwelling. And
this view of the church is no mere fancy with
me- but most practical part of my ministry
and teaching. Holding this view, do net
come to be pastor of ono Of tho churches IN
Norwich, but one Of the pastors Of the church
in Norwich. For the church in Norwich IL
onc-not ought to be, but is--and my service
and fellowship will be due for Chriat's sake to
the whole commonwealth Of Christian be-
levers in that place, and tho whole company
of its minister's. Of course [ have special
duties to the people Of my special chargc but
