FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1870.
BERGNER SQUELCHED.
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.

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.
