Eitliorlitl Opinion of lhr I.podln Journal tl.on urrint Topics-Compiled Kvcry Day for the Erenln Tclcfcrrnpn. the ADMINISTRATION AND KKN POLITICS. SOUTII- From tht A". 1". Nation. There is ft good deal of discussion fioin" on nliout the letters Messrs. BoutwelT Mid other mouibcrs of tho Ciiliinot have thought propor to write to TennoHseo, ex rircsHing thoir preference for StokeR over JSenter for the governorship of the State Stokes representing the policy of continued proscription, and Mentor that of iiuiticilirito fufrancliisemeut of the ex-Kebels. numbering in nil, it is said, nbout loo, not). The syinpn ihies of the various members of the adminis tration in the ease of Virginia have not been Bo openly manifested, but whatever (Smut's 111fiv j)C and they arc said to incline to AValker the relation of the two parties in Virginia so closely resembles those of the two parties in Tennessee, that wo can hardly err in placing Messrs. Houtwell and Creswell on the side of Wells. Thore are twoobjeetious to members of the Cabinet writing letters of encouragement, or otherwise taking part in State elections nt the fvmth, which are both worth tho considera tion. One is, that the opinion of members of ihe Cabinet as to tho way in which Republi cans should vote in Tennessee, or tiny other SState. is worth no more than tho opinion of any other citizen of another State, of mature nge and fair capacity, who has never lived in '.Tennessee, and has ko special knowledge of iho temper of tLo people, of tho drift of popular feeling, of the necessities of the day, find of the character of the local politician-!. Mr. Uoulwuil nnd Mr. Creswell, in other voids, know no more about tho way a lUpublican should vote in Tennessee than Mr. Center knows about how a man should voto in New York. They know they don't know it, and the Tennesseeans all know it, and in deed everybody knows it. They have no ppccial acquaintance with Tennesseoan poli tics, and, )( c, their letters, if they wrote them in privato life, or even as members of Congress, would simply be a piece of imperti nence, to which the State voters would pay lio heed. Indeed, we risk nothing in saying that Mr. loutwcll or Mr. Creswell hardly ex pects anybody in Tennessee to vote for any particular candidate in dotevenco to his opinion, as an ojjiiu'nii. What ho expects is that his letter will influence people but through their fears, not through their judg ment. In other words, the reason why the opinions of these two gentlemen about the Tennesseean flection are of such importance is, that one of them appoints all the postmasters and tho other all the revenue assessors and collectors and inspectors, and so forth, in the State, and, conseipu nlly, can remove tho persons now filling those places. Were it not for this, the opinions of Mr. Fish, or Mr. Holm Eon, or General Sheridan, or Mr. Hoar would . lie just as valuable as theirs. What they really mean when they recommend Stokes for ihe suffrages of Tennesseean voters is not simply that, in their estimation, Stokes is tho jbest man for the governorship, but that if any Federal ottice-holder in Tennessee fails to "work" for Stokes, or to uso his influence for him, he will be made to "rotate" in his ofiieo in such a way that the office will beeoino vacant, and another citizen of more zeal bo called to till it. In fact, their letters are nimply threats to abuse the patronage at their disposal for the purpose of influencing a political contest which concerns them no more than any other American citizen, and concerns them far less tuan it concerns I lie voters in Toimeusee, and about tho merits of which they are not well informed, and in which any mistake on thoir part would do in calculaljlo miscluet. We pass over villi a mere mention tho obvious fact, that tho duties of those who are charged with tho manngemcnt-in-chief of tho Treasury and l'obt Office of tho United States are just now of such magnitude that it is no disparage ment to either Mr. Boutwell or Mr. Creswell to say, that men of twice thoir ability and powers of work, great as these may be, would lind iu them full employment for all their faculties of whatever nature. The second objection is that their interfer ence helps to maintain and stimulate the feel ing of antagonism aud mistrust between the mass of tho Southern people and tho Federal Government, which is one of the great dilli culties of reconstruction. A State once ad mitted to the Union, the punishment of any portion of its population for having taken part in tho Rebellion ceases to be the duty of the administration or of anybody connected with it. Even if we admit it is a matter of concern to the Federal Government that tho franchise iu every State should bo impartially bestowed, it is not a matter of concern to it, and it ought not to act as if it were, that a certain portion of the population should be disfranchised for past offenses. In so far as Congress has not provided for anything of tho kind, the matter ought to bo left in tho Lands of tho people of tho State, w ho under stand it. Attempts on tho part of ollicers of tho General Government to secure a continu ance of a policy of proscription, against tho wishes and tho judgment of even a portion of the Republican party, are, therefore, ill judged us well as indecent, aud aro calculated to prolong hatred and distrust of tho United states amongst that immense nud influential class of the Southern people tho men and women who aided and abetted in the Rebel lion, and their children. If this were a des potic government, it would make no differ ence how these people feel or were likely to feel; but as it is a democratic republic, it is, we submit, our duty and our interest to try to placate them, ami would bo, though they wore all possessed by devils. Tho time for punish ment of Rebels, as far as regards the Federal Government, was during the continuance of military rule, i "d tho place for punishment was the courts. The opportunities thus pre sented having passed away, all talk of tho matter had better cease. We do not expect Mr. lioutwell to give oflie.es to Rebels or Democrats, but wo do expect him not to uso his patronage to help to divide tho Republican party at a State election on a question of disfranchisement. In this, as in many similar canes, Mr. liout well, as well as many other Republicans, docs not so cm to have ever asked himself a ques tion which nil politicians ought to ask thorn solves every hour, and that is, "What practi cal good will result from what I am doing 'The great end in view, in all tho whole pro cess of reconstruction, is to bring back tho Southern people as speedily as possible to true allegiance that is, allegiance of tho tieart to the United States. Keeping tho most influential portion of the community dis franchised, therefore, could only be justified on the ground that it would promote love of human equality and of tho Union amongst the disfranchised. To believe that it would have this ott'ecl, it would be necessary to disregard all we know of human nature and of Listory. Tlio uiUurul tli'cct of proscription is to excite hatred and disoontent. It is only I justifiable as a means of security but" this it can never be as long as tho proscribed have a near prospect of coming into power. So that , to make lurtner exclusion ot the Moutliorn whites from a share in the Government a measure that will bear examination, we ought to make it perpetual. Military government, in short, may havo its uses, and may do good; but class government, whether based on loyalty, cast or color, is sure to breed bad passions, and if they exist already, runs a fair chance of making them perennial., Men will almost always sooner be governed by a dicta tor than by neighbors they detest. W EST POINT. l'-om the X. V. World. Tho report of tho late board of visitors to the United States Military Academy bears equal witness to the care with which it has been prepared and to the ability and indepen dence of tho eminent scholar upon tho board to whom, doubtless, we mainly owe it, and who has every right to be heard respectfully upon all subjects pertaining to education. Tho board havo deserved well in departing from tho blind panegyric which we have boon used to seo in ollicial reports upon West Point. It is a common enough belief that vo have tho first military school in the world. Rigid comparisons would easily show that wo have not. And even if we had, we have not realized the ideal of a military school, and, until we have, indiscriminate praise can do nothing but harm. Looked at purely as a place of professional education, West l'oint has this grave defect. that it has a Procrustean standard to which all pupils must bo stretched or shortened to lit. 'There is a careful weeding, to bo sure, of the lazv and the grossly incapable, but even at the end of the course the interval between the head of a class and the tail is immense. At one end are young men perfectly prepare I to go into the most intricate problems of tho military art and "to be limited." as the board puts it, "only to tho boundaries of know ledge" upon miliary subjects. At the other are men who have just managed to pull through tho course, and who havo struggled wilh a dislike and an inaptitude for its higher departments. Their hea ls aro full of things which they have been at infinite pains to acquire, but which they can with entire case forget, and which, in the lino of the army, will never be of any uso to them. Nevertheless, they may be a-i lit for the rou tine duties of tho service as the eager students at tho head of the class, whose ardor for military knowledge has not been wholly satis lied by the academic course, but who would be glad to go on far beyond it. Rut tho puce of the squadron is the pace of the slowest horse, and some are urged beyond their strength while some have not had theirs fairly tested. In Europe, notably in France, this problem is solved by the establishment of separate schools for the different arms of the service. With us, it is partially solved by sending promising engineers to W'illet's Point and promising artillerists to Tortress Monroe ior vnat is in met, inougn nor in name, a post-graduate course. Rut by this device the graduates lose tho benefit of academic in struction, which it should seem they ought to have. The board propose to solve tho prob lem by setting up a special course within the academy itselt tor the more torward cadots, and graduating them, by consequence, into what may be called tho scientific branches of tho service. With tho resources available, this is perhaps the best expedient we can adopt. Rut the instruction given in this manner would not be equal to that of a special school, with its special stall nnd selected students. Rut by whatever means the end is to bo secured, it is certainly desirable to havo different courses adapted to the differences ot tho youthful mind and the different requirements ot tho various arms 13 v this means, too, government would spare itself tho maintenance and instruction of the youth who, after two or threo years, find that they cannot master the present course, and are sent back into society with a stigma which sticks to them, more or less, nil their lives With a less exacting general course, most of these might succeed, and become useful aud even brilliant ofheers; and with a more ox acting special course, they would at least bo hindered from hampering tho progress of brighter men. As a place of education, in the general sense, the deficiencies of West l'oint aro still more marked. Tho board especially and justly animadvert n the low standard for admission. Surely, at the ago nt which boys aro admitted to the academy, more preparation ought to bo demanded of them than that they be able to read nnd spell, and apply the four ground rules of arithmetic. Nine out of ton of them, it is safe to say, do more thnn this. Yet, for tho sako of tho ignorant tenth boy, the nine are forced to waste a good part of the lirst year in mero review. An education, in the scholastic souse, they do not receive. Tho want of elegance, or even the facility of expression, which the board note, is directly attributable to this cause. That tho courso is strictly military is not an answer to this objection. For a clear aud concise stylo of expression is equally necessary to a soldier as to a civilian. It may bo said that tho military schools of Europe do not provide for this literary element in their courses of instruction. No more they do; but they insist upon it as a preliminary. A candidate for admissiuii to St. Cyr, or tho l'olytechniipie, is required to pass a general examination of very wide scope an examina tion so thorough that it is doubtful if the average graduato of .West Point could sus tain it. If ho could, it would be by virtue of his own outside reading and not by virtue of what ho has been taught at tho academy, or what tho academy insists upon his knowing before he outers it. ily this it happens that, whereas a graduato of West Point is sure to bo an educated soldier, a graduato of one of the French schools is sure to bo both an edu cated soldier and an educated man. Nevertheless, tho Military Academy, as it is, is a credit to tho country, and tho warm praise tho board bestows upon its praise worthy features is all the more vnluablo be cause it is discriminating. THE LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF THE INCOME TAX. From the X. Y. Times. All taxes aro unpopular. A now tax, till wo nro accustomed to it, is specially unpopular. Tho tax upon incomes is to Americans a com paratively new and unfamiliar jurden, aud therefore seems to bo tho least acceptable. It yields, however, from fifty to sixty mil lions of dollars yearly. Could that amount of money bo raised iu any other more acceptable way? That is a largo sum of money to take out of people's pockets, and we doubt if any method could be inveuted for making pooplo enjoy tho abstraction. Is there any more eqnitablo tax levied? It weighs upon profits, upon surplus, and not uponnoeessities upon capital rather upon" . bur. It weighs upon the tax-payer in propoi' - to his means of supporting it, and in this rfc.cct is far move equitable than, tuo customs revo&w, which bears upon families almost entirely irrespec tive of their resources. A house-holder on an income of a year, pays nearly as much duty upon what ho consumes in his family, per head, as Mr. Astor. If a man is prosperous his income tax increases; if ho is unfortunate it dimin ishes. Ho is only required to pay tho more when ho enn best afford to pay tho moro. It is complained that tho taxable somotimos make false returns, or, by collusion with un faithful ollicers, evrtdo their fair share of this burden. One of our contemporaries gavo a list of wealthy citizen whose returns did not correspond with their reputed moans. Some of these cases receivod sausiactory explanations; doubtless all were susceptible of explanation. Rut whether thoy were or not, has any system of taxation been yet devised which crafty avarieo will not some times succeed in evading? And has any system been invented for raising so considerable a revenue which admits of being so righteously executed t The taxable who makes a false return com mits a criminal act, but the chief sinner is tlio agent of tho Government who permits if. He has the means in his hands of knowing every man's income with substantial accuracy. If the Governmentfails to select faithful agents, it certainly will not receive all the revenue that is its duo either from customs or from whisky or from tobacco, nuy moro than it will from income. If it does sjlect faithful agents, there is no tax through which the. per centage of wasto from fraud or error need bo so inconsiderable. This tho experience of England has demonstrated, and it is to day the main secret of Englaud's financial credit. We have then in tho income fax the two great, transcending merits of a tax com bined, the maximum of revenue with the minimum of burden and the minimum of waste. Rut it is inquisitive, say some. It is in- quisiiive to tho extent necessary to ascertain what share of the public burden tho taxable is competent to carry. That knowledge is necessary for the protection of the great mass ot tho community who arc otherwise liable to have their burdens unequally distributed ihe knowledge required to tax mstly cer tainly cannot bo deemed excessive; wo j further, nnd snytlint it cannot be dispensed with, and our chief complaint aguust most other methods of taxation is. that they art! npplied without knowledge, nnd, therefore, without sufficient regard to the resource.) of tho tax-payer. Resides, we seo no good reason, except m rare and exceptional cases, why a person should object to disclosing his income, unless ho desires to obtain a credit which he does not deserve, nnd is. therefor likely to abuse. 'That is a class we need not go out of our way to protect. The publicity given to the returns is olVen sive nnd objectionable, but it grows out of i propensity of tho press to personal gossip which tho public delights m, nud which, therefore, the public must pay for. It would bo uifuoult to put any legal penalties upon this sort ot publicity, without removing salutary check upon collusion between tho tax-payers and unlaithtut collectors. In view of all these considerat ions, had not those parlies who pay income tax nnd who, of course, furnish all the malcontents, better reflect whether they nro likely to bo providod with any more agreeable way of raising titty or sixty millions of dollars, nnd if not, whether they had not, better do what t liev can to recon cile themselves and their neighbors to its continuance? They may go further and faro worse. DRAMATIC VICTIMS. From tlic X. Y. Tribune. It is nn old story that tho gentleman who camo home drunk from a diuuer parly charged his nnslortune to "that last pickled oyster. Nobody is ever willing to acknowledge the exact cause ot a shameful ellect. tu thcatn cal life, especially, this truth finds frequent and apt illustration. No player ever fails for want of ability. Either tho public is stupid, and cannot appreciate, or Iho critics havo formed a conspiracy to condemn. Usually, we have observed, there has boon a con spiracy. It is quito awful to reflect, indeed, upon the number of dramatic victims who hnye thus beeil immolated, Tho field of journalism is strewn with their whitening bones. Ono would imagine that tho critics of tho stage havo nothing else to do but to lorm Conspiracies against tho heroes T.Ul heroines ot the theatre. Lately, it appears, they have conspired against a certain troupe of burlesque performers. This wo learn from that usually fecund and immensely trustworthy source of homo neivs, tho provincial press. We knew already that this troupe had gradually fizzled out, in New York, like a bad pin-wheel, and had left anything but a pleasant odor behind it. Aud this re sult we had attributed to its real aud very ob vious cause the puerility aud indecency into whicW after a pleasant and promising start; its performances degenerated. Rut it now appears, from the out-of-town papers, that wo were mistaken. It was not tho cold punch that made the gentleman a little vague; it was "that last pickled oyster." It was not a parade of bare logs, indecent, gestures, and general grossness and foolishness, which made tho burlesquers ti nuisance on our stage; it was the conspiracy of journalists ! W orso than all, these jour nalists did not conspire of their own free will, but they were "manipulated" into this direful coalition against "tho blondes'" by a gentleman who lives in the country ! The Roston Vmi rlir is bounteous enough to di vulge this startling fact, and to give tho in dignant public a glimpse of this dark nnd wily Philip the Second, in his rural Escurial. llo is, it seems, "an ox-manager, a man of some attainments, a great diner, a member of two or three clubs, great on suppers, who owns a country-seat just beyond tho city limits, whoro congregate the crit ics of tho daily press, the Jlniii iii-k. the ft uil, Itm'.i., tho rums, the clubmen, nnd two or tbiyo literary women." Here, indeed, is a dreadful disclosure. Clearly enough tho independence of the press is no where. A man who is both "a great diner" nnd "great on suppers" possesses fascinations which no journalist can resist. For, nro we not all "j enny-a-liners" and always "hungry ?" Did anybody ever hear of a journalist" who couldn't easily bo bought with an oyster-stew? Of course not; and nobody, therefore, will bo surprised to read that this agricultural Epi enrus can manipulate any newspaper in New Aorlt." Here, then, wo como to tho fact of tho n atter: "This gentleman had a personal difliculty with tho Thompson troupe, shortly after they appeared nt Niblo's, nnd when tho history of tho war on the blondes shall bo truthfully written it will, appear that ho laid nil tho trains, wrote or caused to bo written nearly all the adverse articles, and secured their publication, through his ring, at the clubs and at his country seat." Wo shidl await, with as much fortitudo as possible, tho advent of that "truthfully written history" which is daily promised in these tremendous lines. It will, of course, come from Roston. Everything luscious naturally proceeds out of that Naza reth. Iu tho uieuutiiue, as we rglloct upon tho luxurious servitude into which our brethren of the quill bare manifestly fallen, we drop the tear of sensibility upon thoir manipu lated condition, and crave the indulgence of a righteous public towards the weakness of hungry sinners. To err is human if it bo to dine, especially if it bo to dino with Ma-conns, Cincinnatus, and Maehiavelli rolled into one. Resides, tho reflection that tho blondes have been vindicated ought to incline tho public I mind to mercy. Thoy did not walk nbout like Adam and Eve in tho Garden of Edon. They did not wrigglo and caper iu tho can can. They did not exhale an odor of vul- guiity which has infected the robes of the whole dramatic profession, bo that many sea sons of fumigation will be required to inako those garments sweet. On tho contrary, they were everything that is lovely only they offended a country gentleman, and ho laid them wasto by manipulating tho New York press. Alas, that pickled oyster I THE PENNSYLVANIA MANUFACTURERS AM) COAL-MINE OWNERS. From the X. Y. World. In March, IS IS, during tho anticipated charter riots in London, there were ''0,000 special constables sworn in. An amusing cartoon came out in 1'unrli. Mr. Punch, as a "special."' addressed a rullian chartist thus: "If 1 kill you, it is nothingat all: but if youkill mo, H is murder. I lie I ennsyl vaunt manu facturers, through their high nnd low protec tion papers, address tho coal-mine interest in a very similar style. They substantially s ty: '"If you havo to pay us 'lo a ton for iron which is worth only .'!0, ,"u cents a pound for hlnnkcts which aro worth only cents, or ldi) per cout. more for steel goods, cotton goods, and leather goods, nil this isnothiugat all, because the Keystone State is the I nit:; I Stc.ti s, and we are in reality tho Key.' " Rut if you and your dirty colliers come any of your combination game, co-operation game, or any other game, and raise tho price of coal on us, you commit 'murder," and as soon as Congress meets we'll combine with our virtuous Eastern brethren who havo been long "down on you," and wo will take oil" tho duty on foreign coal, nnd you shall dangle nnd havo no tariff to dance on. 'That such a project of reducing or entirely abolishing tho tariff on coal is agitated now we aro all aware. Rut to reduce the duty on coal alone, or on any other raw material, without putting tho pruning-knife to nil tho four thousand articles of our imports, would bo class legis lation m still worse form than we have it how. The oppressive price of coal, by tho aid of the tan It, is no greater wrong than tho oppressive price of blankets, woollens, cloths, cottons, hardware, iron, steel, copper, brass, etc., etc., all up held by tho aid ot the tuilll. Ihe people want no small favors nnd no large favors; let us have justice, ono law or the rich aud poor. and no class legislation lor tho benefit of rich manufacturers, money g.miblers. and monopo lists nnd if wo cair.iol havo that, then by all means let us stick to tho outrageous bad laws wo now have, nnd strictly enforce them. which, according to tho maxim of the second father and savior of tho great republic, is tho only patriotic and statesmanlike way to remedy tho evil. No doubt tho operation, until we do attain tho remedy, is painful. Rut, liko the valorous Dawler, who convinced his rival that tho vow to skin him was imperative, that the rule ot tho service demanded it, so wo should not object to bo skinned by tho bad laws of our country, as tho rule of tho service is imperative uphold bad laws and you will get good ones.
