An Angry JOve.

News comes from Naples and points
in Greece of series of severe earth
quakes and Mt. Vesuvius is once again
in a state of violent eruption.
Upwards of six hundred lives have
been lost and thousands have been in
jured by the earthquakes and the peo-
pie have fled from Naples and the
towns in the vicinity of Vesuvius.
One of the peculiarly absurd things
we note in this connection is the fact
that the priests are telling the people
that the eruption, earthquakes and
consequent loss Of life is direct mani
iestation Of divine wrath with the peo-
pie for their sins.
We thought the time when priests
taught that the throes OF Olympus We're
the mutterings of an angry Jove had
given way to an age when an enhght-
encd people understood fully, or at
least when an edutatci clergy were
able to appreciate the absartlty Of
mythology as religion.
To seize upon an earthquake or a
volcanoes eruption and make gift more
than it is, plain and unmistakable
act governed by natural laws, is one
of the severest criticisms upon the en-
Tightening power Of the Christian re-
ligion it is a confession Of ignorance
and calculated to exert an unworthy
influence on any intol!is mt mind.

For the Dispatcb.l
A Correction.
MARCH 81, 1886.

Rev. J. William Jones:
Dear Sir,-Allow me to call your
attention to slight inaccuracy Of state
ment in your article Of the Both. You
saw the United States Government
" simply taxes the dealers who are
licensed by the State or are caught SELL
ing contrary to State laws"
The United States has nothing to do
with State laws on the subject, but
issues special-tax stamp, equivalent to
a license, to any person complying with
United States laws in this matter. This
stamp says, in effect, to liquor-dealer
that he is thereby authorized to sell
free from prosecution by the United
States; and State license is like
authority with like protection from the
State. For license is not command,
but a permit. This permit from the
State is of no value unless the dealer
also has one from the United States,
and rice rersa-for we live under two
governments and must obey both; and
in the case Of licenses there can be no
conflict between the two, for if one per-
mits what the other prohibits the per-
missien will be Of no avail, But if the
United States should command what the
State prohibits, then there would be a
conflict and the paramount authority
would assert itself. This is the nature
of our imperium in ,mperio. A liquor
dealer, then, cannot legally or safely
sell without stamp or license from
both governments.
AS soon as a liquor-dealer gets his
license from the State he applies to the
United States collector for United
license, and il he should be "green y
enough to produce his State license as
an authority, the collector or his
deputy would promptly tell him that be
does not wish to see it and has nothing
to do with it. Some liquor-dealers,
hear, intend, if State prohibition be
passed in their localities, to get out
United States license and continue tc
sell, not because they think that they
can then legally sell, but they fear the
United States Government and its
splendid internal-revenue system ant
organization, and believe they car
manage our slip-shod State authorities
or escape with nominal fines. If they
succeed in this the only effect of prohi
bition in rural districts will be to de.
priye the State Of much revenue.
Liqdor-dealers snap their fingers a
State fines, but do not like the looks o
Albany penitentiary quite so well. P.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please inform me through the columns
of your paper if there is game law
applying to robins in this State; if SO,
what time can they be hunted? By so
doing you will oblige several of your
subscribers. Respectfully yours,
SUBSCRIBER.
In 1879, April 2, an act was ap
proved and became law providing that
it "shall not be lawful for any person
to kill or capture . robins be-
tween the LIST April and the LIST No
yember Of each year"
This law is still in force unless it was
repealed at the last session of the Le-
gislature, copy Of whose acts we have
not yet received.

There are about $40, 900 tithables IL

There are about $40, 900 tithables in
the State. OF these 104, 2O2, say, 30
per cent, are delinquent. This leaves
The burden on the remainder, Of whom
9,695 persons, or 3 per cent, pay . tax
Of S25 and over. Upon the
other 81 per cent, including delin.
quents, falls the heaviest burthen OF the
taxes. And though-see above-quoted
Documant-Table B, page 2-only sl,-
COL, 229.72 are paid directly by the
people, Wl, 2S3,577.90 being paid by
banks, railroads, licenses, and miscella-
neous), yet the figures from the Audi
tors Office show that the county and
municipal taxes amount to leo per
cent. Of the total State taxes. AS our
taxes are ad raloren,, and not in proper
ton to ability to pay, it is readily seen
that the heaviest weight falls on those
least able to bear it and most impatient
under the pressure.
This shows Why tax-receivable cou-
pons, which constantly threaten to raise
the taxes by forcibly entering the Trea-
sury, are regarded by the people as q
nuisance. And this feeling is proved to
exist by what has taken place since tho
passage of the Riddleberger bill, about
four years ago. In that time, the bond
holders lawyers proclaim, every case
except ons-snd that, they say, al i'm
material one in the light Of subsequent
decisions-has been decided in their
clients favor. Yet the coupons paid in
for taxes have amounted to only
&277, GAG, an average of 600, 4S6 per
annum, or about per cent. Of those
annually maturing. But these coupons
have been bought at not more than 40
per cent. of their face value, which,
after deducting expenses ofsale, is rather
less to the bondholders than 2 $40 per
cent. of the amount annually maturing |;
which looks a. II coupons were not
popular.
Indeed, it shows that the people will
not have them a in fact, they could
not IL they would. The number OF the
tax-rscsivabls coupons annually matu-
ring il 40. 1887, distributed in five denomi-
