WASHINGTON, December 2I.-A gentle

Gould to furnish the other half neces-
sary to place line of steamships from
New Orleans to Liverpool, to be run in con-
nection with the Gould roads. Mr.. HAYES
referred the matter TO the New York Office
for action, giving it his approval. Mr..
Gould has not yet acted upon it, as his New
Orleans connections are not yet perfected.
Mr.. Hoxie, traffic manager OF the Southwest
system, is said to give the proposition his in

follow the reckless and unfair course Of

PARENTAL APPAnIT1oN.-President

one Of the most gifted women of her
day. She lived with her father, Gov
ernor Tyler, at Greenway, in Charles
City county, Va. One night, while
sleeping In the bed with q cousin, .
young woman of her own age, she
awoke and saw her mother, who had
been dead for some months sitting In the

The apparition leaned over the child
and gazed intently on 1t. She looked
steadily at 1t without the least alarm.
Now comes the strangest part of the
story. The girl lying by her side said.
quietly, Maria, there is your mother"
Then the form melted away. Some
years afterward. after Governor Tyler's
death. his daughter was at Greenway
again. One night one Of Mrs. Tyler's
children became i'll, and her sister-in.

her mind that she could hold the apps.

1t carefully. and recognized q certain
suit of brown cloth which she had some
times seen the governor wear, and she
was self possessed enough to look for q

minutes, called to her mother to hasten,
whereupon the figure vanished.

The Internal Revenue System Of the
United States.

This odious system of taxation should
be eradicated, root and branch. By
this system, a. the Charlottesville JEFF.
fersonian saye, q tax of about $3.50 OO0,-
600 is drawn from the people annually.
There is surplus In the treasury, over
and above what Is necessary to pay the
present extravagant expenses Of the
government, and the annual interest on
the public debt, Of near about the
amount Of the taxes raised by this obi
GUS system of taxation. Why then
should this system continue? Why
keep 1t in force to collect from the PEG.
pie money which the government does
not need, but which the people very
much need for their own comfort AMI
convenience? Who wants to keep this
system in force and to continue to drag
from the people immense sums Of
money which the government has no
use for? The people do not want it
Especially do not the people Of Viz
ginia want 1t, whose tobocco pays tax
of sixteen cents q pound Of an aggre'
gate Of $1,000, 900 annually-a sum that
would in four or fiveyears pay off every
dollar Of her public debt, or build and
equip annually $50 miles of railroads.
or establish every year 70 manufacture
ing establishments with capitol Of
si0O,0 900 EACH Who then wants to keep
this system in force? The army of OH.
GERS who are employed at fat salaries to
collect this revenue want it. They are
for it because it is for them. They are
for 1t because 1t pays them fat salaries.
The bosses are opposed to 1t, because it
gives them fat offices to dispose Of, with
which they can buy up large army Of
mercenarles who will be for them be-
cause they will be for these mercenaries
because it will give them an army Of
5000 or 10000 active. INSCRIPTIONS fell
lowe, who will devote themselves assid-
uously to uphold the bosses who uphold
them. All Of these men held their Off.
ces in Virginia during the last campaign
by the influence Of Boss Malone, to
whom Boss Arthur had given the pow
or 70 remove them and fill their places
at pleasure. If Malone had been at
their heels with whip of scorpions In
hand to drive them on, they could not
have been more active and unscrupu-
lous. -
These facts furnish an additional,
ample reason why this odious system
should be taken up root sad branch,
and cast into the midst of the eea.
Away with it and its host of myrmidons
of power. Its officers constitute gang
Of detectives and spies upon the peo-
pie. They are an army Of political
pimps to corrupt and debauch the vo>
tiers. Who is in favor of raising tax
of 81. OO0, 900 from Virginia tobacco, not
to speak of the internal revenue tax
raised upon Virginia wines and liquors
and other sources, in order to give fat
offices to these men?

SHAMEFUL CONDUCT. The outrage
perpetrated by the Board Of Canvassers
in throwing out the vote of Gloucester

thus perpetrated one of the greatest

has no feeling but that of the utmost
contempt for Gen. Malone. In wri.
ting to friend, he says.
IT regard Malone the most vindictive,
interruptions and meanest tyrant that
ever figured In American politics."
To another friend he says:
ST have too great regard for. my rep

connected with Malone in any manner,
and have written to Gen. Grant tell
