Tiiher are two kinds of taxe recognized by the Constitution of the United States. One is "indireot.M Under this head may be classed all forms of taxation which da not fall at an even rata per capita ou each individual; or, it may be more proper to define "direct" taxa tion as that kind which is assessed so much on eaoh individual, without regard to pro perty, while "indirect" includes every other kind. The latitude given to Congress to legis late in favor cf raising revenue, vests an abso lute power in the House of Representatives to originate every form of taxation which oomea . tinder the head of "indirect." Bat while the ! Vent is left open the imposition of direct taxes are carefully guarded. The provision ; for laying them is distinct and unequivocal. 1 The first article and seoond section Says: "Representatives ard direct taxes shall be apportioned among the. several States which may be inoluded within the Union according to their respective numbers, which shall be de termiaed by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to servioe for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed three-fifths of all other persons." I1 Will thus be seen that instead of the present form of taxation the (ioverumwnt has at its disposal an entirely different bill, which will entirely change the mcla of collections and the sources from whioli it will be derived. At present we support an immense number of officers there are nearly two hundred and fifty assessors, nearly two thousand assistan assessors, and a like! number of collectors and deputy collectors, bo that a large proportion of the real revenue never reaches .be cotters of the State, but is eaten up by salaries. This is supposing that notlrng is extracted from the amount collected except what is legally due. But the enormous amounts dishonestly kept In the hands of the sub-official render the pro portion lost to the Government yet more alarming. These facts have directed the at tention of Congress to the other alternative, and yesterday, on mo'ion of Mr. Getz, of Penn sylvania, the Committee of Ways and Means was instructed to inquire into tha expediency of reducing the expenses of co',!.cting the in ternal revenue, by abolish" :i the offices of collectors, assessors, etc., aui assessing the amount of direct taxjs required upon the several States, in proportion to their taxable popnlation, and to report at the next session. The resolution passad without opposition, and the Committee will, probably at the next assembling of the House in December, be pre pare! to make a report. Such a vital change ai the adoption of the proposed system would invite of coarse de mands the most mature deliberation. That it Las advantages so far 3 the necessity of col lection Is concerned cannot be denied; but whether the disadvantages of the appointment would not more than overcome tha cheapness of the collection, is a matter for grave con sideration. If such a pluu as that suggested was to be agreed upon, we would have no more United States officers whose duty it would be to attend to the collection. Congress would free its hands of the dettils. It would merely apportion to each State the amount which it must raise, and the collection would be made by the State. Thus about $130,000,000 is required for inte rest on the debt and like matters. There are only thirty-three millions of people, of which Bay Pennsylvania ha3 two millions. The United States would say to Pennsylvania, "we want nine millions of dollars as your share towards the interest;" and the State would raise it from the inhabitants. We do not quote aotual figures, but merely as an in stance. Heretofore tuis mode of taxation has been seldom resorted to. On but three occa sions has this been tried. In 1798, in 1813. and 1815. Then it did not give satisfaction. Bnt now it will probably ba carefully scanned. The rare oooasions on which it has been tried Las caused the publio to overlook its exist ence. The resolution of Mr. Oetz will attract general attention to it, ai.d will cause many new idea3 to be propounded on the aubjeot of the collection of taxes. Pawnbroking in IJiileicnt Countries. "Wb see it stated that a somewhat curious pe tition baa been presented to the British Parlia ment by a number of pawnbrokers of London, to the eflect that, owing to the frequent changes of fashion, fashionable dresses and other artioles deposited with thein, and re quired under the existing law to be kept for twelve months, are very often so depreciated in value at the expiration of that time as to be comparatively worthless; and that many persons in consequence avail themselves of this means of gettiug rid of their wardrobes They, therefore, request Parliament to alter the law so as to allow them to dispose of all artioles at the expiration of six months here after. We have often thought over this sys tem of pawnbrokiug, and the publication of the foregoing fact ullords us an opportunity for offering some suggestions on the system in general. Our readers are aware that the same system in vogue in this country is in operation In many others; in some with considerable restrictions, in others, like our own, with bnt few. There are even in some countries where what we might term the American system exists, an institution which, while affording all the advantages of the old pawnbroking system, is free from any of its defects. A person is in want of money; he has say an old piece of family plate; he does not want to part with it from old reoolleo tion's sake; he can obtain money on this plat without incurring any risk as to its future redemption; that is to say, he can reoelve nearly its full value. He is only required to pay what might be considered a nominal rate of interest; and in some countries he is al lowed to redeem it by the payment of various instalments, as low as one frano at a time under the French system, or he oan always renew it for another year. Conse quently there is no danger of its being sold, if be can raise only a little at a time towards its ultimate redemption. The system was adopted originally to loan money to the poor, at a rate of interest only sufficient to pay current expenses. The visit of the Chinese Ambassadors at the present time reminds us that, according to popnlar tradition, China de serves the honor of having been the first coun try to inaugurate this system. The origin of it is commonly ascribed to Italy. We know that it has been in operation there for some time. Many people who every day wonder at the pawnbroker's symbol of the three balls, are perhaps not aware that it formed part of the coat-of-a'rms of the celebrated Mediol fam ily. We will leave to antiquarians the plea sure of hunting up the origin of the adoption by that family of so curious an emblem. Although it is always a pleasure for us to go over "Notes and Queries," yet we have not time at present. We therefore indicate the source from which such information can be gained, and leave the further pursuit at pre sent to others. The "Mont de Pictc," as the institution is called, exists besides Italy in Russia, Holland, Belgium, aud in the principal cities of Germany. At the principal institutions in Paris the loans are made upon securities, the value of which is assessed by twelve appraisers. Although this, like similar offices elsewhere, were origi nally established for the beueGt of the poor, yet the most profitable customers of late years have been the rich; nearly 400,000 out of 1,200,000 articles deposited annually consist ing of jewelry and articles of luxury, the value of which forms three-quarters of the amount advanced. There are about fifty Monts de Pictc in France, about one hundred in Holland, and twenty in Belgium. The Paris organization to which we again refer as being on a larger scale probably than any other, is under the charge of an administrative counoil, the Presi dent of which is usually the Prefeot of ibe Department of the Seine they are now under the superintendence of a Select Committee; within the last few ye.irs, how ever, they have been more extensively used by the poor. Our readers will doubtless re member the statement made lately of the ransom, on a large scale, by Louis Napo leon, of articles deposited in the Paris branch, in consequence of the hard times in Paris. It is somewhat remarkable that this institu tion has never yet been introduced into Anglo Saxon communities. It does not exist in Great Britain or in her colonies, nor in the United States. Is it not adapted for the social life of these countries 1 Another Step in the Right Direction. Hon. James W. Obuorne, United States Sena tor elect from Florida, one of the first of the Senators from the reconstructed States, ap plied for admission to his seat in the upper House yesterday, and wa3 admitted by a vote of thirty six to six. Thus one by one the oh airs of the Senate so long standing vaoant are filled, and before the President's gavel announces the close of the session we expeot to see every one of the empty seats filled by members who truly represent the sentiments of the majority of the people of the Southern States. Among the list of the applicants we miss the names of the Rhetts, Barnwells, Hamptons, Soules and the like. By their treason they have for feited their high places, and the power once so absolutely their own is now given to a class whom they affected to despise. It is now the day for others to enter the ring of the mono poly and try whether patriotic ability does not equal in law-making the intellect which only breeds treason. So far the wheels of the new Commonwealth have been revolving without a jar. They have adopted a Constitution based on justice to all men. They have rati fled the 14th article of the Constitution, aud having taken the preparatory steps, are now prepared to wield a potent force in the delibe rations of the nation. All true Americans will hail this progress with sincere satisfaction, and the flag with thirty-seven stars will no longer be an emblem of questionable signitl- cance. Pendleton's friends are "very r.haky," says the New York. Sun. It add: Tuey vlr tually concede the Impossibility of securing his nomination, and, as has been before stated, many of them admit the impolloy of pressing him. Mr. Pendleton Is now understood as en dorblng these views, and will be content with a strong complimentary vote if be can Bucceed In dofeailiigall other Western candidates, so as to keep the field open for himself when the party shall be more thoroughly organized and on Us feet. lie will, however, oppose Seymour to the bitter end, considering the ex-U jveruor's speech at the Cooper Union, on Thursday night as a direct stab Ht him. And, by the way, that tpeech has ral d a great commotion in the camp. It has completely revolutionized the "f entlmenls of the middlemen of the party, and knocked Pendleton's financial theories com pletely out of mind. There neems to be no doubt that it will form the bams or the financial plank la the Democrat lo platform. Bishop Mc-Ilvaink, the venerable head of the Protestant Eplsoopal Uhuroh.of Ohio, has been availing ritualism In his energatlo way. In his late address before the Dlooosau Conven tion of the Btale he took strong ground against the praotloe of opening and closing pnbllo wor ship by a procession of surplloed choristers en tering the church singing hymn while the congregation stand on their feet. The Bishop objects that the prayer-book prescribes a cer tain form of words with which to begin morn lng and evening prayer, and that the singing ofabymnat all, and still more so In prooes slon, Is a violation of the rules; that the wear ing of a surplice by any other person than ordnlned priests is an unauthorized Innovation; and, generally, that this processional Ringing Is a revival of a Komish practice, growing oat of "that discontentment with the old ways of our liturgical and Protestant worship, as eHab 'lshed by the laws and usages of all the centn fl-s niece the Reformation, and out of that morbid coveting of Increased ceremonial, of which the extreme ritualism of these days in England, and, In certain plaoes, this side of the sea, Is the notorious manifestation."
