4 Tllfl DAILY EVENINO TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOTEMBER 16, 1870. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1870. REVENUE REFORM. The free-traders hare begun to use the term "revenue reform" as a partisan, watoh word, and with them it means nothing more nor less than taking off the duties on imports and plaoing them upon home productions. It certainly needs no very elaborate display of faots and figures to prove that the only true revenue reform will be just the opposite of this, and that what the country needs is to have the internal taxes reduoed to a mini mam, and abolished altogether wherever it can be done. The receipts of the Treasury during the first quarter of the present fisoal year were $115,101,230-75. The expenditures during the same period were $80,562,920-83, which leaves a surplus of $28,533,309-92. The balanoe in the Treasury on the 30th of Sep tember, 1870, was $133,103,493-31. These figures are amply sufficient to prove that there is good ground for the kind of revenue reform that the friends of the industrial interests of the country demand. The ques tion for the administration now is, Shall the President indioate a policy of revenue re form, or wait for the candidate of the Chi cago Tribune to inaugurate it? The ques tion for the people is, Shall revenue reform begin at home or abroad ? Of the reocipts quoted above, $57,729, 47357 were received from customs, while in ternal revenue produced $19,147,13792. The internal taxes, it will be understood, have been rednoed, to take effect from Ooto ber 1, 1870, and part from May 1, 1371, and also that the reduction of tariff rates ensues from and after December 31, 1870. As the revenues of the Government, however, will be sufficiently large, even al ter all these re ductions go into effeot, to enable it to pay off annually a large proportion of the princi pal of the publio debt and yet to carry large balanoes, will the people of the oountry be satisfied to pay income tax rather than cus toms duties, or to pay the tariff on food and raw material instead of continuing fair competitive imposts on articles of foreign manufacture which are in direct antagonism with our own productions ? Congress at its last session refused to abo lish the income tax, and the elections that have just been held demonstrate that the people have condemned its action. Dissatis faction with the illiberal construction of the excise laws on the part of the officials, and the continuance of certain unpopular internal taxes, were among the most potent influences against which the Republican party had to oontend at the lost election, and they came very near causing the election of a Deaio oratio majority in Congress. Democratic rule would be neither safe nor pleasant in the present condition of the oountry, and it there fore behooves the administration to declare openly and fairly for the kind of revenue reform we have indicated. Let all internal taxes except those upon distilled spirits, fermented liquors, tobacco, oigirs, and stamps be abolished, and take off the re mainder of the impost upon tea and coffee, and a revenue reform will be accomplished that will not only satisfy the people, but that will enoomrage and stimulate every depart ment of industry and enterprise. That this reform is demanded by the people the reoent elections plainly indicate, and if the President takes his stand firmly and squarely as its ad vocate he will certainly be sustained by the people. The President made a serious mis take in reoommending the continuance of the income tax in his last annual message; and we believe that he has now discovered the faot for himself. At the commencement of his administration he said that "the ex pressed will of the people" should guide his policy; and there has certainly been a plain enough expression of opinion upon this sub ject to excuse him from the neoessity of any doubt or hesitation with regard to the desire of the people that thelnternal taxes shall be done away with altogether, so far as is practicable. TO UNO AFRICA'S FWIIT AGAINST YOUNO AMERICA. Tux oolored cadet at West Point, James W. Smith, who has recently been tried before a court-martial of which Brigadier-General O. O. Howard was President, was found guilty on the first charge of "conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline," the specification being that he "did create a dis turbance in camp, and did assault Cadet John W. Wilson, of the said academy, with hU dip. per and hit fists." On the second charge, of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle man, the specification of which consisted of an allegation that he had made a false state ment, in writing, he was deolared not guilty. The sentenee was that the acoused should "walk post. under charge of a oadet, from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until retreat, for six eonsecutive Saturdays." The Secretary of War has since issued an order disapproving this sentence, on the ground that the sanction of the Gov ernment should not be given to "a punish ment so utterly insufficient as that proposed to be inflicted;" Cadet Smith is released from arrest; the court-martial, of which General Howard is President, is dissolved; and Young Africa La left to fight his battles with Young America as best he may at West Point. Many of the white students at that institution are tortured nearly to death by their associates, And we have little doubt that Smith had abundant ' provocation for the use of his "dipper and his fiat." But as the ultimate object of the education of the eadeta la to furnish the nation with well- Instructed soldiers who are formed of the toughest kind of physical, moral, and mental material, it is perhaps well enough that they should all be subjected to a series of cruel ordeals. If the charge of falsehood against Smith had been sustained, he should have . been summarily J, but as he only appears by the record to fcave been guilty of choosing an n- appropriate moment and an nadtguilel method for conducting a oampifgo. on his own aooount, we think the order of the Secre tary of War is substantially just; and if Young Afrioa can stand the additional ordeals which await him he will have a fair chance of proving in the end a first-class negro warrior. The late French victories are supposed, in Some quarters, to be the prelude of a series of similar successes, of a triumphant aortie from Paris, and a complete turning of the tide of battle against the Germans; but on the other hand it is alleged that Moltke is setting a trap in which his impetu ous foes will soon be caught, and that Paladines will speedily share the fate of Bazaine and MaoMahon. The course of future events will soon show whioh of these conflicting theories is correct. MUSICAL. AIIO DIIA.9IA.TIC. "rke B.hemlaa J!rl bv the Fncllak Traape. The performance of The Bohemian Girl last even ing attracted a large audience at the Academy of Music, as It generally does If there la reason to ex pect that It will be well rendered. This opera fully deserves Its popularity, for It Is fall of very pretty music that Is worth hearing frequently; aad al though the mnilclans dispute Its claims to high merit, the public find enjoyment In It, and conse quently fill the theatre when It la brought oat to greater extent than they do for more pretentious com positions. The performance last evening pased off in excellent style, Miss Rose Hersee acting and singing the part of "Arllne" very charmingly. Mr. Campbell had his "heart bowed down with weUht of woe" In a manner satisfactory to the audience, and Mr. Bowler narrated with good lyrio expression how "(he fair land of Poland was trod and er the hoofs of the ruthless Invader." The most Interesting event of the evening, however, was the debnt In this olty or Miss Fannie Goodwin, who In the role of the "Ulpsv Queen" displayed capabilities that promised well for what she will be able to do when she has obtained sufficient experi ence to make her feel perfectly at home npon the stage. Miss Goodwin has a pleasing presence, and her acting last evening Indicated that she posse ises good dramatic abilities, llcr voice is clear and sweet and her method Is good. She only needs practice and culture to make her a very pleasing singer and a valuable addition to any operatic troupe. The fitly Amusement. At thb Acadbht op Musc this eveniosr.
