GERMANY.

BERLIN, February 15.-In the lower
house Of the Diet yesterday the Minister
OF Finance made q declaration on the au.
thority Of the King, OF the same tenor as
that made by him at the sitting OF the
Prussian Budget Cammittee on the 2ls
ultimo, namely: That until new source
OF revenue from indirect taxation was ere.
ated in Germany, and until 1t was ascer-
tanned what portion OF the surplus could
be transferred 10 individual States, It
would be useless to discuss the question
OF income and class taxes, as any reform OF
the present system Of taxation would be
impossible, &c. The proposals OF the
Budget Committee relative to the assess
ment OF taxes were then adopted by o
large majority.
The National Zeitung and other Liberal
journals are shocked at the manner in
which the speech from the throne at the
opening OF the Reichstag declares Prince
Bismarck's protectionist schemes. They
believe 1t is an electoral manifesto, aud the
forernnner Of the speedy dissolution OF
the Reichstag. "3

The counties of Tennessee support
their paupers. The counties pay all
court costs except in f~ellonies. The
counties in the main support the free
schools. The counties keep up the
roads. The counties can vote school
money or not, as they choose. And
now 1t Is proposed to force the counties
to pay the costs in felony cases; and to
give the counties the right to forbid
the liquor traffic. And laws are to be
submitted to Il vote Of the people.
Well, all this being so, what do we
want with a Legislature, a Governor,
o. a State? Let the Legislature save

4 Valuable Work.

The Pictorial History Of the United
States, from the Discovery Of the Amer
lean continent to the present time
with a complete history Of the Centen-
niai Exhibition. BY Jas. d. McCabe,
Author of "a Manual of General His
Tory" ''Ihe Great Republic" sc.
1t is a well-known fact that the great
mass Of our people are compelled to
rely, for their knowledge Of the history
Of their country, upon the outline
works intended for the use Of schools,
which by their very nature are brief;
designed for the comprehension OF
children, and in every way unsuitcd
TO the adult mind. There has long
been felt Il genuine want Of the llistO-
ry OF the United States, covering the
whole period IrUu the discovery of the
Continent 10 the present day, and pre-
senting Ia a sgcCtuut and COmprehcn-
siye form the history Of our country
through its various periods, from a
higher and more thoughtful standpoint
than would be proper in II school his
tory. The demand we are happy to
say is satisfactorily met in "lhe PictO-
rial History of the United States" a
work which is evidently destined to
take rank rs the Stan dard History OF
our country. The author, JAS. d. Nc
Cabe, is an able and well known his
torical writer
We most heartily commend this
work to our readers, 1t Is no cry mass
OF details, no bombdstic effort TO in
flame the national pride, but 4 clear,
vivid, and brilliant narrative Of the
events Of our history from the discoy-
cry Of the American Continent to The
present day. II gives a most interest
ing account Of the Indians Of NUrlh
America, from the time of the coming
OF the white men. The voyages Of
Columbus, the explorations OF the diff
icrent nations Of Europe, and the wan
dgrings Of the Spaniards in search Of
gold and immortal youth, are told with
graphic power. The story Of thc reyO-
luton is related with all the interest
Of Il romance; then follows n clear and
suCCinct account Of the formation OF
the Federal Constitution, the Second
War with England, the Mexican War,
and the events OF our history up to the
commencement of the Civil War. The
History of the Great Civil War is rola-
ted with intense vigor, ana Win strict
fidelity to ruth. The author writes
with calmness and impartiality, and
pleads the cause of no section or party.
J h Looks contains Il complete account
Of the Centennial Exhibition.
Ii is comprised in one large and
handsome volume, Of over 100 pages.
and contains more than 500 fine engra-
wings OH steel and wood. The book Is
issued by the National Publishing Co.,
of Philadelphia, Pa, Chicago, Ill, and
ST. Louis, Mo. and Dayton, Ohio,
those imprint is a guarantee Of excel
lcnce ofthc Workmanship. The price
is low considering the character of the
work, and each subscriber is presented
with a handsome photographic engra-
wing Of the Centennial Buildings and
Grounds. 1t is sold by subscription
only, and DIR. Is. f. GREENLEE, who is
the authorized agent for this section,
is now %canvassing for it.

An effort Is being made to abolish the
corporation Of Cleveland, just why
does not appear. If it IS for the pur-
pose of getting rid CT city officers cho-
sen by the people, as has been intima-
ted, it Is Il characteristic exhibition of
little partisanship, in keeping with the
style Of those who now control the
party in power in this tate.-KlloIUi}e
Chronicle.
The Chronicle is right about it. The
scheme TO abolish was gotten UP by
disappointed Office seekers. The most
active men in the scheme are those who
at II time were officers of the city and
who run the town in debt to less pur-
pose than any one. The people have
shut down on them and they have seen
their last hope of decay. There viii
be no more building half-mile brick
pavements, or paying hands off in the
store-whether the corporation is abol-
ishcd or not. As long rs a few men
could control it everything was lovely.
