The disgraceful incident which has just taken place at Albany has attracted very general attention throughout the conn try, and we hope it will recoive the careful con sideration of Democrats as well as Repub licans. Tbey are once more afforded an opportunity of judging how far the clique which has obtained control of the Democratic party in this (State is deserving of public confidence. That clique asks the Democrats of other States to place themselves under its guidance. Yet it is doing something fresh every day to bring the Democratic party into ntter disrepute. It is responsible for every phase of the Erie swindle, including those amazing frauds on the foreign stockholders which have so much injured all our securi ties in foreign markets and excited the just indignation of every American who has looked into the subject. It has originated those schemes for suppressing popular rights at eleotions, for gagging the Tress, and for corrupting the Legislature and the Judi ciary, which have brought so much reproach upon our State. And now it comes out in the face of day, and openly proclaims that it governs, and wishes to govern, only by means of corruption. No Democrat connected with the Tammany gang sees the least impropriety in the transaction which has placed a mirk, as indelible as that of Cain, on the forehead of the despicable wretch, Orange S. Winans. If yon speak to them about it, they will only laugh and chuckle, and say that the "Boss" Is too "darned smart" for the Republi cans. On Saturday night, Winans was made a hero of at Fisk's Opera House where, indeed, rascals generally are sure of a cordial greeting from the king of rascals who keeps the place open, and goes flourishing about it with his fat person stuffed into a ridiculous uniform, like a jack pudding. Tweed telegraphed from Albany to have special rooms fitted up at the Oriental Club-house for Winans' accommodation. There was no pretense at secrecy in the whole matter. The Democrats of this State rule solely by bribery and corruption, and when they buy a man they send him for a night's "treat" to New York, where James Fisk, Jr., takes him in hand, and tries to make him a greater scoundrel than he was before a job for which Fisk's education and habits peculiarly qualify him. In this city Winans could probably have a statue if he wanted one, just as a thief known as the "Boss" can get one at any time; but we may fairly hope that the power of discrimi nating between right and wrong, honor and dishonor, is not so utterly lost elsewhere. We hope that there are still communities left in which Winans could not show his face with out meeting with an extremely warm recep tion. The great point, however, which ought not to be lost sight of is this the Democrats avowedly adopt political corruption as the fundamental principle of government. The work is not carried on by hirelings, but by the very heads of the party. "But Repub licans are quite as bad," one hears it said. We submit that the recent struggle at Albany convicts any man as a stupid slan derer who makes that assertion. Sixty-three out ' of sixty-four Republicans stood firm although many of them were poor men and money without limit was offered to them for their votes. We say that these Republicans nobly vindicated the right of their party to govern this State. To get sixty-four men together and find sixty-three of them honest is a great thing as the world goes, and is a resuit which we have no reason to be ashamed of. A much smaller proportion would have saved the cities which were in ancient days destroyed by fire for their wickedness. Find, if you can, sixty-three members out of any sixty-four belonging to Tweed's gang who will refuse bribes. Our friends at Albany did not stand out in vain. They have given splendid enoouragement to their party they have, we sincerely trust, rendered it easy for the Republicans to carry the State next fall. All that we ask of the public is to judge im partially between ns. Let us dismiss for the moment party names and party cries. We do not appeal to the people as Republicans, but simply as men who earnestly desire to see political purity substituted for political corruption. If you show us a Republican and say that he is dishonest, we answer, in Heaven's name strike him down never let him hold office again. Republicans or Demo crats, give ns honest men to rule over ns, to make the laws, to administer them, to levy taxes, and fulfil the other functions of civi lized government and we will not say a word about party. Is this an unreasonable thing to ask? Does it look like wild partisanship, or "radical hypocrisy?" We ask any fair mau to look at the proceedings which took plaoe in the Legislature recently. Measures abso lutely revolutionary in their charaoter were hurried through the Assembly without any body being permitted to say a single word about them. A scheme for abolishing the right of the Legislature to deal with ques tions of taxation was swept through without a solitary member of the House being even allowed to know what the bill really con tained! We talk about Louis Napoleon's tyranny it is easy enough to rave about other people's faults but when did the ex Emperor ever attempt such a despotic proceeding as this? We need never go abroad for examples of a people submitting tamely to tyranny of the ino.it odious kind. Let ns first look at home. This Tax Levy scheme was ordered to a third reading without ever having been printed, without a word of explanation and without a moment's debate. What other community in the world would quietly submit to bo monstrous an abuse or parlia mentary government? The Demoorats are Betting up a more intolerable despotism than any foreign potentate has attempted to establish for two hundred years pat and yet people only shrug their Bhoulders, and say, 'It can't be helped." Yes, it can be helped. Give us an honest Legislature next fall, as you can easily do by your votes, and the past can still be redeemed, a. ne absolutism which la now administered i' contempt of the DeoDle can be broken down It is a sad spectacle to see a great people kept in subjection by an irresistible force. It is a sadder sight by far to see them bending their necks voluntarily, without a murmur or a ruggie, to the yoke of tyrants who will not aiujw mem 10 use even ine iorms 01 iree av- rnjnent. It was bad enough, no doubt, to live tinder the rule of Louis Napoleon. We used to Bay it was very strange a cultivated nation should submit to uach degradation. Jiut what right have we to eritioLse French men we who submit tamely to be ruled by a gang of illiterate ruffians and swindlers, of whom Tweed, and Fisk, and SweeDV. sod Conaolly are the highest typef MANAGERS AND CRITICS. From the A'. 1'. Tribune. Mr. Edwin Booth, or his agent, made a mistake the other day, for which he is now undoubtedly sorry. Two persons connected with a small weekly paper that has acquired somo notoriety by elaborate and persistent attacks upon Mr. Booth and his acting, were refused admission to his theatre, although they bought, or offered to buy, tickets. This not only gave a fictitious consequence to the obnoxious criticisms, and conveyed the im pression (an erroneous one, we are con vinced ) that Mr. Booth was unwilling to sub mit to a free examination of his professional merits, but it was a clear violation of the law. It may be trne, as the manager says, that it was not criticism but personal abuse which moved his resentment; it may be true that his ngont regarded one of the excluded journalists as unfit company for the pa trons of a reputable theatre; nevertheless, all persons have an equal right to enter a place of public amusement on paying the price, and to stay there as long as they behave themselves properly. Their pri vate character is none of the manager s busi ness. This principle has been settled again and again ly the Courts, and every manager who has attempted to ignore it ha? been worsted. There are critics who disgrace their calling, parasites of art who poison and deform the profession to which thoy cling; base creatures who are the curse of journal ism even more than they are the curse of the studio and the stage; and knowing how an honest man loathes the sight of such crea tures, we can sympathize with the aggrieved actor who slams the door in their face and refuses their dirty dollar. Whether Mr. Booth has been wounded by men of this sort, or is chafing under severe but legitimate criticism, we shall not stop to inquire, beoause it is not to the purpose. The rule is plain; he can keep nobody out of his theatre who pays for a ticket and preserves an outward de corum. We suspect that the f orgetfulness of this rule into which managers are now and then betrayed, is owing in a great degree to the 1 peculiar relations which have always existed between the stage and the press, and against which we have many a time remonstrated. It is generally taken for granted that the critic is entitled to certain 'courtesies" which are not extended to the general publio. He is to be admitted free to all performances, lie is to have the choicest seats. He is privileged to ask admission for his friends. Nay, in provincial towns, and to some extent in New York also, almost the whole staff of a news paper, from the editor down to the office boy, shares in the "privileges of the press. hat wonder is it that there should grow up in the mind of the manager a vague impres sion that the press owes him privileges in re turn? What wonder that the critio who lashes the actor, or the play, or the policy of the theatre, should be regarded as an outlaw, who has broken a sort of oompact, and stung the hand that fed him, and done all manner of infamous and ungrateful deeds, and who is to be shut out of decent society accordingly ? We shall rejoice to see the time, which in the progress of journalism must soon come, when the leading papers of New York will agree to accept no favors from the theatres, and bestow no favors either. In that new era of common sense the critio and the editor will buy their tickets as they want them. They will see no manager s or agent s face; and they will not be expected to print gratuitous an nouncements of any performance, or to criticize what is not worth criticism, or to be sparing in their censure or extravagant in their praise. We shall be relieved then from such shameful exhibi tions as we have repeatedly witnessed of late brazen incompetency puffed without stint by critics of real discernment and ability; and merit of the very highest charac ter scourged by the Bame hands for the rea son, openly avowed, that the press had not received "the usual courtesies." Until this state of things is reformed, we must expect scandals. Until the leading newspapers agree in the enforcement of a new and sounder rule in their dealings with theatres, journal ism will be infested, as it is now, by scrib blers without conscience, who degrade criti cism to a trade, and make puffery a means of livelihood. The real, honest critics of New York can be counted on one's fingers. Edi tors know pretty well who they are, and if the absurd and demoralizing "privileges of the press" were swept away, the public would soon anow where to look for them too. INJUNCTIONS AGAINST INCOME TAX. From the N. Y. World. In a previous article we commented upon what we believe to be the mistaken views of the Anti-Inoome Tax Association as to the probability of obtaining from the Circuit Court of the United States in the city of New York an injunction to restrain collectors of internal revenue in this city from levying the income tax returned by the assessors. Our reasons are these: In the autumn of 1805 Mr. Robert L. Cat ting and others, doing business as bankers and brokers, filed a bill in equity in the Cir cuit Court, praying, among other things, that Assessor Gilbert and Collector Shook might be enjoined from assessing or collecting an internal revenue tax, claimed under the act of 1804, on stocks and bonds sold by the peti tioners. The case was heard by Judge Nelson, who was of the opinion that the plaintiff's were not liable to the tax; but for reasons peculiar to equity proceedings, which it is not neoea sary that we set forth at this time, he with held the injunction and left the parties to their remedy at law. In his opinion he de clared emphatically that he did not doubt the power of the Circuit Court, under then exist ing Uwb of Congress, to interfere by injunc tion and prevent the threatened imposition of an internal revenue tax, if it should be illegal. Such a jurisdiction, he said, had been in the United States Courts upheld and exercised upon general principles of equity jurisprudence. But yet the granting of such a writ, generally speaking, he added, rests in the exercise of the sound discretion of the court, and is always refused "where the remedy at law is adequate." He was also of opinion that, although an action might bo against a collector to recover back money ille gally exacted as tax, and against au assessor lor the disturbance of property or business by an illegal assessment, still, in that class of cases, these remedies were inadequate, be cause of the multiplicity of suits which a broker would be compelled to bring. After this decision, in which the court ss serted, in the autumn of 1805, judicial power to restrain the threatened interposition of an internal revenue tax by injunction, it is im portant to note that Congress, in legin latfd ti deprive the court of such powsr; an 1 the first question is the constitutionality of tLat tnactuient against injunctions. If an injunction for the benefit of those of us living in the city of New York is to be obtained at all, it must be from the Federal Circuit Court bitting in this judicial district. What chance does the Anti-Iuoome Tax As sociation tiink it would have with JaJje Woodruff, in presence of the act of March 2, 1867, forbidding him to attempt the exer cise of any such power? Is the legislation of March 2, 1807, any more unconstitutional than the odious eleotion law which he sus tained, and would not let go up to the Su preme Court? We may form some idea of what the Supreme Court itself would be likely to say to such an application from a decision it has recently made on the application of a bank in Chicago to a Federal judge to restrain the collection of a tax levied by that city upon shares of the former institution. The prayer for an injunction was based chiefly on the allegation that the tax was in violation of the Constitution of the State of Illinois. But the Supreme Court at Washington said that it saw no ground for the interposition of a court of equity by so stern a process as in junction. We give the gist of the decision in that case. "Upon principle ttils must be the case. The equit able powers of the conn can only be invoked by tue presentiition of a case of equitable cognizance. There can be no Bach case, at least In the Federal courts, where there Is a plain awl adequate remedy at law ; and except where the special circumstances which we have mentioned exist" Ihese circum stances were that the enforcement of the tax would lead to a multiplicity of Biiits, or produce Irreparable injury, or, where the property ii real estnte, throw a cloud upon the title of the plalntliT.i "the party of whom an illegal tax Is collected has ordinarily ample remedy, either by action sgainst the o nicer making the collection or the body to whom the tax It paid. Here such remedy existed. If the tax was Illegal, the ilnlnUll' protesting against its enforce ment might have had his action, alter it was paid, against the officer or the city to recover back the money, or hn nilght have prosecuted either for his damages. No irreparable injury would have fol lowed to him from tun collection ; nor woald he have been compelled to resort to a multiplicity of suits to determine hit rights. Ills entire claim might have been embraced in a siogle action." It can hardly be Baid in general that collec tion of an income tax once a year would, for each individual, lead to a multiplicity of suits, or produce irreparable injury, or throw a cloud upon the title of real estate. We do not profess to be lawyers, familiar with the technicality of modes of procedure in judicial tribunals. We are only journal ists attempting to keep abreast of all deci sions of judicial tribunals, or writings of learned publicists, which affect the general principles of public law. But it seems to us that the Anti-Income Tax Association fails to draw a proper distinction between a remedy by injunction in advance of the collection of the tax, and a remedy by suit at law to recover back from the collector the tax which he has levied and damages for its imposition. The latter may exist,kalthough the former is wanting. We cannot but think that members of the association made a great error in not recog nizing years ago that the true tribunal to address for remedy against excessive or im proper taxation is the people, and through them the legislative power. The fact is that under an Anglo-Saxon system of liberties the people, in respect to taxes imposed by legv. lative authority, have not a great many rights which judicial tribunals are bound or per mitted to respect. The reason therefor is well enough set forth in the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Dows vs. The City of Chicago, to which we have just referred, where it said;: "It is upon taxation that the several States chiefly rely to obtain the means of carrying on their re spective governments, and It is of the utmost im portance to all of them that the modes adopted to enforce tne taxes levied snouid be interfered with as little as possible. Any delay in the proceedings of the officers upon whom the duty la devolved to col lect the taxes may damage the operationi or gov ernments, and thereby cauBe serious detriment to the public." It has been repeatedly held in the State of New York by its highest tribunals that no in junction to restrain the collection of a tax upon personal estate, even when illegally im posed, can be granted. This, indeed, is the doctrine of most of the State courts. We are inclined to think that, according to the princi ples and practice of equity jurisdiction as established in English jurisprudence, an in junction would not be granted to restrain the collection of a tax imposed under color of law. Indeed, it may be stated as a general rule that, irrespective of legislation, the action of replevin to get back property dis trained illegally for taxes could no more be maintained than the writ of injunction. The wrong must be endured till a suit at law can be brought to recover damages for its inflic tion. The World years ago foresaw how power less the courts would be as against Congress, whenever the latter body saw fit to exercisa the power in that relation given to it by the Federal Constitution and the rules of the com mon and statute law of England not unsuited to our political condition which that Constitu tion adopted, and therefore we began popular agitation of the people in respect to this odious tax. There are now in force provisions of the Internal Revenue law which make collec tors responsible to "individuals" for moneys illegally collected, either by themselves or their deputies, together with damages and expenses of suit: provided the person of whom moneys are illegally demanded (1) protests against the payment, and gives notice that he intends to briug suit to test the vali dity of the exaction; (2) appeals from thtj de cision of the Collector to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue; and (a) within 0 mouths after the decision of the latter officer, if adverse, actually brings suit in court therefor. Each and every one of these things, let it ba borne in mind, must be done to enable a tax-payer to get back bis money. On suit of A the in come tax may belpronounced unconstitutional and A recover his money; but that will not benefit B unless he has protested, appealed, and brought suit. The United States cannot be sued, as every body knows, in any form or forum, without their own permission, and in respect to in ternal taxes it was, say the Supreme Court, "a matter of beneficence" to allow the col lector to be sued; as the law "confided to the Commissioner, or Secretary, in the first in stance, to decide upon the matter of duties, ho it might have made them final arbiters in all disputes concerning them." If Congress had provided that collectors of the internal revenue hhonld not be responsible to indivi duals for money which they exaoted in com pliance ith directions of the Secretary of the Treasury, then, clearly, no suits could have been maintained against them. Then would have been presented in a more poten tial shape to the judicial power the question whether in buch a state of things,, there being no other possible remedy at law for an ille gal exaction, the courts would not interfere by writ of injunction to restrain the assess ment or collection of the tax despite a Con gressional prohibition. The moral of all this is that property holders who desire to protect their property from uujnst taxation by the political party in power must co-operate efficiently with the opposition in preventing Congressional im position of tbe tax in the first instance, or in obtaining its repeal if it be already on the statute book. The Federal tribunals, even if they had power in the premises, are at this moment too much under tbe influence of Re publican partisans who were and are givers of their daily bread, and to whom they re indebted for their present position. nonest men they may be, but most of teem, lika, Judge Woodruff, are fresh from Poenes of partisan warfare in which they have been zealous participants. What hope, for example, can property-holders have to be protected from the inoome tax by a Federal judge who is a devout believer in Mr. Bout well's theory of finance? Such a judge would strain and twist every law which came before him in order to squeeze as much money as possible out of the citizen, in order that the public debt might the more rapidly be re duced, and think he was doing a publio good. Such a judge, believing that Demoorats are urging the reduction of taxation in order to embarrass a "lolt" administration, is as inac cessible to reason as a fox with a firebrand tied to his tail. Let the Anti-Income Tax Association there fore not rely too much upon an injunction, but advise its members (1) to file, eaoh one of them, with the collector, on payment of the tax, due and sufficient protests against his levy; then (2) appeal to the Commissioner in Washington, as the nineteenth section of tho law of 1800, as amended, requires; then if that officer decides against them (.'$) bring a suit against the Collector in the Circuit Court of the United States; and then, when all this is done, unite with the Democratic party in expelling from power every member of Con gress or Senator or Federal official who either has recommended or may again in the fnturo recommend or advocate the imposition of another huch tax or vindicate such a system of taxation.
