The Income Tax.

From The jacksonville, Fla, Standard.
THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, in commenting
upon the tendency to encourage the Investment Of
alien capital in southern industries enters pow
crfu plea for graduated federal income tax as
likely TO relieve visible property OF the burden OF
taxation, which, under prevailing conditions, too
often falls upon such property regardless Of its
earning capacity.
There is but one just and equitable basis OF tax
alton. Those who have most should give most;
and there can be no accurate test of the real
value OF property, as distinguished from its nom
inal, than its productive capacity III dollars and
cents.
That the principle involved is one too vital to be
safely ignC is indicated by the painful eXpe-
ricnce Of our own state. 1t has long been known
that there is in Florida serious discrepancy be-
tween income and disbursement, and that from,
this fact arose the necessity for those loans which
have from time to time tidcd the state over diff
cuties more or less pressing. This discrepancy
arises less from the condition of the state than
from the system of assessment commonly en-
plOyed here. Between public Office and publc
zeal there is unfortunately little connection, and
as far a. our assessors have been concerned, the
easy way has too often been the best way. .

been completed as far as Marietta, ard
needed an engine to operate along its
track. The nearest point from which an en-
CINE could be secured was the town Of Aiadi-
son--distant about sixty miles. The weghty
machine was accordingly mounted upon
huge wagon and drawn through the country
by sixteen horses. Ovations were given the
engine at every settlement aloDgits route, and,
when it came into the noighborhood of Ter

pie collected there to witness its arrival. A
few days later passenger coach drawn iii the

Termnites were very happy over the event
and held q public celebration at the tavern.

A Colorcd Man Running for Congress OF
Strange Platform.

Strange Platform.
RALEIGH, n. c., February S.-[Specal. j
In today's issue Of his newspaper, The Gazette,
published here Editor John II. Williamson
colored, announces himself as a candidate for
congress. He intimated last week that he
would be candidate.
Williamson says his platform will be COM
pensation for the eX-slaves as proposed by
President Lincoln, who, at the time lie made
his famous proposition, admitted that they
were the lawful property of those claiming to
he their masters and proposed to pay $500
each for them, liberatc them and stop the war.
Williamson declares that letters from all
parts of the country commend his views. He
says as d war measure the constitutional
amendment prohibiting the compensation
of the owners of slaves was well enough, but
it is now time TO wipe out the causes
which divide the two sections of the
union, "and in my opinion" he writes,
''there is no more Just solution of this great
est of all the negro problems thar the payment
Of $500 for such slaves according to the census
Of 1860, with interest TO date at per cent.
II we love the union, both north and south as
we Often proclaim, pay this debt. If the divid-
ing line between the north and the south is to
be wiped ont, pay for the slaves. As q for
mcr slave favor Island shall endeavor to
bring it about. There will then be 10 bad
blood between the races, and the negro will
nc longer be the bone of contention. AS q
further mark of justice | propose that the
money appropriated bo equally divided be-
tween the former master and slave, or theil
heirs at law"

The appearance of Terminus in 1S42 may
be described in few words: Imagine two
country highways crossing each other at right
angles and clump of houses grouped together

bird's-eye view of the situation. Lofty pines
then shaded the site Of the future K1mball

centers Of trade and learning. The other came
from Peachtreo creek and was called Peac
