A New Form of Taxation.
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."
