TAX REDUCTION.

In December when Congress assemblies for
the short session, Mr.. Morrison will come back
defeated, and Mr.. Randall will come back
victorious. A shadow will rest over Mr..
Carlisle his seat being contested, and Messrs.
Seymour and Mitchell! of Connecticut, with
many other Democrats who supported tie free =
trade tariff proposed by Mr.. Morrison, will
come together sadly in the knowledge that the
people have done with them. Ga the other
hand, Republican members have been siren 9Th
ened nightly in their course by the re- election
of almost all OF them, and by the knowledge
that the Democratic majority has been cut
down from 45 in the present to 10 or II in the
next House. Under these circumstances, the
duty Of reducing the revenue will be again
considered.
Congress must either reduce the revenue or
increase the appropriations at the coming
session, unless it is prepared to cause such
&C contraction of circulation next year 3 the
majority will not dare to face. The three per
cent bonds will substantially all be retired, ut
the present rate. before much of the next fiscal
year has elapsed. Then the existing excess of
revenue over appropriations will draw into
the Treasury about 50, 100000 per month Of
the money in circulation, or even more.
Members of Congress will hardly dare to avoid
this by largely increased appropriations. The
only other recourse is TO cut down taxation.
The Democrats will not be more harmonious
because of their late defeat Tney Will come
together with no plan on which they can agree,
with sptefnl hostility to the recommends
tions of the President, and with any quantity

That Mr.. Beecher should decline reception
offered to him by the Brooklyn Aldermen is not
surprising, especially since there has been an
unseemly public dispute about who should pay
the expenses of the affair. These Aldermen
(and all others) should confne themselves to
their legitimate duties hereafter. No one can
feel particularly honored by tokens of favor
shown by Boards of Aldermen in the vicinity
of New York in The present temper OF the pub

port that Ohio contemplates constructing such

step in crime is not the result OF wicked Instincts
SO much bad surroundings and influences but
the confinement of such hapless offenders among
hardened and hopeless lxnayes can only result in
their permanent prostitution. This is just the
object which the State wishes to prevent, and The

vented in a great measure
