Trm lower branoh of the State Legislature yesterday refused, by a Tote of 76 to 10, to ratify the proposed contract with the insa tiable Borgner, for printing the LegUlaticc Retard at the extortionate prioe of $14 '50 per page. This action is supposed to be final, Mid if tao members do not imitate the Sena tors who flopped oyer on the same question, Robin O'Bobbin will lose one of his usual opportunities for plunder daring this session. Trad to his instincts, however, if he is choked off in this direotion he will only become more voracious in others. Senator Lowry described him faithfully the other day in the Senate, wken he said that Bergner "was an old State robber, who had grown rich at the expense of the Commonwealth. Would to God that there were some way to get rid of him ! lie would Tote thousands of dollars to have him exported out of the country, lie stioks to tw like a barnacle, and we cannot shake him off." As there seems to be no gromnd, however, for hoping that Bergner will leave the country for the country's gojd, the Legislature, if thoroughly in earnest, as we trust it is, in its late action, will follow it up by a olose investigation of Bergner's bills for stationery. There is something decidedly suspicious in the manner in whioh the obargos under that head are distributed through the Auditor-General's Beport, and the Committee on Retrenchment and Reform should look into the matter. In the account of the ex penses for 18G9 the first item in the reports of the Senate, as well as the IIou.se, embraces pay of members, "including mileage and stationery," and yet at a later portion of the re ports records are made of one paymont to "George Bergner, for stationery, etc, fur nished the Senate, $2843-42," and of another to "George Bergner, for stationery furnished the House of Representatives, $5218'65." Sundry other sops to this monster of greed were duly set down, exolusive of the Record j ob, whioh is now so universally condemned, and the perquisites of the Harrisburg Post Office. ' The charges for the artiolos furnished should be critically examined, and all future transactions with Bergner should be under the most stringent contracts. II is unbridled rapacity has awakened intense indignation, and the Republican members should spare no pains to shield the party from the reproach of abetting his innumerable 'sohemes to plun der the treasury. , TEE INCOME TAX. Thsbh is, perhaps, no one opinion so univer sally shared by all olasses of people in relation to the finanoial polioy of the Government, a? the one that condemns the attempts being made to re-enaot the inquisitorial tax upon incomes. This measure was one of a series of extreme character enaotcd during the Re bellion, at a time when the imperative de mands of the nation for the "sinews of war' could not stop short of any honorable mea sure to meet the requirements. Even in that gloomy hour our legislators, appre ciating its objectionable features, limited the period of its existence. Unlike other laws for the raising of money by impost and direct tax, it had a Rpecido date beyond which its operation would cease. It was eminently a war measure, and as such should not be continued in a time of pro found peace. If the revenues of the nation were short of its requirements, some shadow of an argument might be presonted for the continuance of its obnoxious provisions, but this is not the case. The Treasury is over flowing, and the funded debt is being liqui dated at the rate of one hundred millions per annum, so that there can be no reasonable argument on that score for its con tinuance. . It has been hinted that the finan cial officers of the Government desire its con tinuance, so as to present a gratifying balance sheet, as an evidence of their fitness to hold the important trusts committed to their hands. The American people are, however, too well educated and informed on publio affairs not to appreciate the situation under all oiroum stanoea. They would muou rather be relieved of this offensive tax, than have it exaoted and read the result in the various reports of the departments. ; The great burdens, expenditures, and seeds of our war period are past. The finanoial strength of the nation is ap parent its receipts ample for all purposes therefore let this tax die the death it was in tended it should, in this year' of grace 1870. Pnblio sentiment is almost unanimously against it. You hear it disoussed and denounced in all its various phases in our publio conveyances, street oars and steamboats, railroad cars and stages, at the sooial board, and indeed at every place, pub lio or private, where questions of this charac ter are talked over, and the sentiment of the people, as before stated, is almost unanimous that the law should be permitted to die, and we can assure our law-makers that there will be but few mourners, unless they be among the publia offloial whose duty and pleasure it is to collect and disburse the money. There is one aspect of the case worthy of the mopt serious . con sideration. We allude to its corrupting and demoralizing results. Consoienoe and Mammon under its provisions have many conflict. Where a man's word or oath trans fers money from his private purse to the publio coffers, the temptation is great, and we fear many a ; false oath Is reoordod to save the transfer. ' The sacrednees of the oath is thus undermined, and perjury excuses itself undor the plea tbj. the law U unjust. It also presents temptations to fraud in another direotion, by induoing men to return a false inoome to buoy up a sinking finanoial ship, and obtain credit to whioh they are not entitled. It is unjust beoause it is unequal in its operations, although not in its intent. Under its provisions the honest oiti :en pays, whilst the dishonest, by perjury, evades the tax. It is inquisitorial in its char acter, and productive of the most painful evils. It not only enters the saored precinoU of home, and drags under oath a sooret that the head of the house has, for wise and pru dent reasons, guarded even from his own family, but it publishes it to the world through the columns of enterprising journals. If the inoome be large, the children insist on a more extravagant mode of living, against their own future interests and happiness. A thousand evils and embarrassments follow from this source. If, on the other hand, the income be small, from causes that can not be explained to the public, the reputa tion of the individual suffers, and the most . unkind and uncharitable re marks are made with reforenoe to him self and family. Among other unjust results of this law, it may be proper to mention one which is an apparent violation of one of its provisions, and yet is insisted upon by those who construo the law. Reference is here made to the taxing the interest on all bonds issued by corporations. The provisions of the law exempt all incomes of one thousand dollars and under, and yet, as is often the case, the whole income of a widow or of orphans may be derived from the interest arising from these securities, and although it may amount to muoh less than the one thousand dollars specified, yet it is rigidly exacted; so that there is paid on nine hundred dollars of an income from such securities, that should be untaxed, as much as can be exaoted from nineteen hundred derived from any other source. This is not only a contradiction of the terms of the law, but unjust and cruel, as it falls upon thoee who are least able to pay. These are only, a few of the many, very many, objections to this law, whioh expires by its own limitation this year, and which it is proposed to re-enact as a painful burden and corrupting nuisance. The gentlemen who cry for more money in the Treasury may con sider these arguments of a trifling character; but the people, who are able, and cheerfully willing, to support the Government in every necessary demand for "men or money," have, as a grand jury, sat upon this measure and return it a cumbersome, inquisitorial, unjust, unequal, demoralizing, and unnecessary tax upon the people. "Let it die the death." 1 INDECENCY AND SCIENCE. Now that Dr. Landis has gone to his own place it would be as woll for our censors of indecent literature to keep a striot watch upon any publications whioh offer to lead the pnblio into the debatable land in the name of science. Much books are especially dangerous, as they force their corrupting way where openly foul volumes could not enter. No better instance of this can be given than a book (which we will not advertise by naming) recently published by a physioian of some repute in this city, and prefaced by a formidable array of endorsements from lite rary men and doctors of divinity. The aim of the book was in reality to urge John Stuart Mill's argument against the rapid in crease of families, and to advertise the author as prepared to furnish the preventive pre scriptions. The remainder of the volume was mere padding of unolean anecdotes which we oould easily imagine Sairey Gamp retailing to the doctor with a sly wink over a glass of gin " 'ot and 'ot." The approval of those clergymen who reoommended . it to the perusal of young girls can only be exoused by the supposition that they never read it. The book, to the credit of the publio taste, fell flat without any sale. Its authors have issued another, in whioh they take up the ' trade of the valet and the ladies-maid, and propound various hair dyes and cosmetics. The profession of medioine is so rigid in its rules, founded upon good taste and good breeding, that it is painful to find a reputable member of it descending to charlatanism and trickery in order to gain notoriety. It is a course as unsuccessful, in the long run, as that of the actor who forgets his high art, and by indecent gags and winks strives to conci liate the galleries. Meanwhile we warn parents to examine olosely all medical books professedly written for the benefit of their daughters, no matter under what sanction they may come to them. Alaska. The utter folly of the Alaska pur chase becomes more and more apparent evory day. Thus far the country has not been given any evidence that Mr. Seward's summer resort will be of any practical benefit to any body, while the proofs are constantly multi plying that a yearly outlay on the port of the Government will be required to maintain a semblanoe of authority, by the side ef whioh the interest on the purchase money will soon dwindle into insignificance. The latest news received from this ill-starred Territory is ckarao tens tic. Christmas day was celebrated at Fort Wrangle a well-chosen name by a row, in which one Captain Smith, an ex-Confederate naval offloer, met his death at the hands of a drunken Indian. The chiof of the neighboring village in whioh the murderer took refuge refused to deliver up the criminal, and was only persuaded to turn him over to the tender mercies of ' a drum-head court martial after bis village had been shelled and two of the harmless and unoffending natives killed. If things go on in this fashion, Alaska will soon be depopulated, and we shall thus be happily rid of the trouble and ex pense of keeping the native population in subjection. ii Am okdimamoi was Introduced in Select Council yesterday by Mr. Plainly, and referred to the Com oitUe on Polios, to prohibit the driving- of cattle through the streets between the Delaware and Fortieth street, and Norris and Washington streets, botwoon 8 o'olook A. M. and 8 o'olock P. M. While all proper faoilitios should bo afforded for bringing our beef, veaL pork, and mutton to market, the practice of driving herds of oattle through (be streets at all hours of the day has become a great nuisanoe in some sections of the oity, and if such a regulation as that proposed is put in force, the nuisanoe will be at least abated to some degTee. 8PEOIAL NOTIOE8.
