THE INCOME TAX.
There is, at last, a fair prospect for the re
peal of the iniquitous and inquisitorial income
tax. The Senate, which has held out against
the repeal so stoutly, voted last week
to consider, this afternoon, the question
of its final abolition. The voto by which the
Senate agreed to take np the subject showed
more than a two-thirds majority in favor at
least of giving the matter its attention, and
it is to be hoped that there will be but a
small falling off when the decisive vote is at
hand. The House of llepresontatives is
likewise about to move in the mat
ter, the Committee of Ways and
Means having yesterday, by a vote of (J
to 3, agreed to report a bill repealing that
portion of the Internal llevenue law which
imposes a tax on incomes. This action of
the committee is doubtless duo
to the position taken by General
Pleasanton, the new Gommissionor of In
ternal llevenue, who has signalized the be
ginning of his administratian by making a
determined raid upon the most unfair and
obnoxious of all the taxes imposed upon the
people. It is saidt that Commissioner Tloa
santon is supported in his present recom
mendations by the President, but this report
is open to doubt, as the President has hereto
fore been a warm champion of the tax on
incomes. If he has, indeed, deserted the
Western farmers and their representatives
who are always laboring to shift the burdens
of taxation from their own shoulders to
those of the unhappy people who dwell in the
large cities on the seaboard, he deserves to
be congratulated, and so do the people.
The income tax is not only obnoxious on
account of its inquisitorial character, but it
is beyond all comparison the most unequal
and unjust of all the systems of taxation re
sorted to. As was shown in the recont state
ment of internal revenue collections in this
city during the j ear 1870, Philadelphia has
been paying an ail mini income tax amount
ing to SL'.SSO.liU'-ir., or about one-third of
all the revenue derived from tho city by the
National Government. The aggregate re
ceipts from taxes on income during the fiscal
year 18G'.-70 throughout tho country were
$37, 775, 87302, or but little more than one
fifth of the entire amount received from in
ternal taxation of all kinds. ThW inequality
alone should be sufficient to influence the
vote of every fair-dealing Congressman and
secure prompt action in accordance with the
demands of justice and tho will of the people
of that section of the country which bears
the greatest burden of national taxation.
TI1E IRREPRESSIBLE rARKEll
AGAIN.
The Board of Guardians of the Poor had a
Btormy session yesterday, the cams belli
being, as usual, Mr. Edward T. Parker. Wo
have endeavored to do justice to this gentle
man heretofore by endeavoring to believe
in him as a reformer of abuses,
but from the investigations we have
made and from the matters that were brought
to light at the meeting yesterday, we are
inclined to sympathize with 'the majority of
Mr. Tarker's fellow-members on tho Hoard of
Guardians, and to consider him as a dis
turber of the peace and harmony that ought
to prevail in the Almshouse as well as in
more aiistocratio establishments. A special
committee which was intrusted with the duty
of investigating various charges of mil
management brought by Mr. Parker against
certain officers of the house, reported that
they were unable to procure the attendance
of that gentlemen, and that they were com
pelled in consequence to conduct the investi
gation without his assistance. Thoy further
stated that the officers complained of by Mr.
Parker produced ample evidence not only to
bhow their entire innocence, but to prove that
Mr. Parker himsolf hadiuterferod improperly
on numerous occasions with the management
of the Louse, going so far as to order soin3
of the inmates to be confined in tho colls for
re&l or fancied disobedience to his commands.
Mr. Parker had no reply to make to the re
port of the coinmittCH excrpt to deny its
truthfulness; and the other members of tho
beard, very properly thinking that thi: denial
was of little value, in view of the faut that
Mr. Parker had refused t state his case and
produce his evidence bt.'fwre the committee,
adopted the report and passed a resolution
requesting Mr. Parker to resign,
lias Mr. Parker declined to do, and he
consequently remains to boa source of indefi
nite annoyance to his associates of the Hoard
of Guardians, and all who are connected in
any way with the Almshouse. So long es there
was reason to believe that Mr. Parkor had
substantial reasons for his charges of mis
management, he had the sympathies of tho
public; but now that he has been shown to
be a mere busybody, with $ series of imagi
nary grievances, there will be few who will
not commiserate the gcntlemeu who
are obliged to accept him as their associate
in the regulation of the affairs of the Alma
Louse. AD OLD DODGE OF OUR MODEL
MEMBERS.
Humous reaoh us from Harrisburg that two
of the model members contributed by Phila
delphia to the lower branch of the State
Legislature Sam Josephs and Slushy Smith
are becoming suspiciously virtuous. If
Sam and Slushy were in dead earnest in thor
opposition to various little schemes of spncial
legislation, we should delight in chronicling
the manifestations of their new-born zeal
for the welfara of tho people. But there
are impossibilities in the political
as well as the physical world, and we can no
more expect Josephs and Smith to become
sincere champions of reform and legislative
purity than to see a veritable cow jump over
a veritable moon. There is therefore some
thing quite mysterious in the hostility which
the little snakes of some of the country mem
bers are encountering from Sam andSlushy,
and one of the most probable conjectures is
that an arrangement is sought whereby these
little snakes are to be suffered to crawl
through the House only on condition that
some enormous serpent, not yet publicly ex
hibited, which is under the special charge of
the Philadelphia members referred to,
may be suffered to drag in safety
its long and poisonous proportions
through the House. The public will Boon
know, wo presume, whether this theory is or
is not correct; but meanwhile we hopo the
country members will not suffer thomselvos
to become too deeply involved in the wiles of
the virtuous Fatty and the austere Josephs.
Let them remember all the stories they have
read of the dodges city Bharpers play upon
country visitors, and then recollect that Sam
and Slushy are about as sharp a pair as Phila
delphia has ever sent to the State Capitol.
"For ways that are dark and for tricks that
are vain" even the Heathen Chinee is not
more peouliar than Slushy and Sam; and,
while a good many of their country cousins
are by no means verdant, they should not
depreciate the incomprehensible skill of fel
lows of the Ah-Sin order.
The Tpblio Buildings Commission, now
that it is at liberty to prosecute the great
enterprise entrusted to it without danger of
further interference, has gone to work with a
proper amount of energy, and we may expect
that our new city hall will be pushod forward
to completion with as much rapidity as is pos
sible. At the meeting of the board held
yesterday, the contracts for removing the iron
railings enclosing the Penn Squares and for
removing the trees were awarded, and bids
for excavating cellars, etc., and for furnish
ing material wore opened and considered.
While tho preliminary work is being prose
cuted, a plan is being prepared which, it is
believed, will be as near perfection as is pos
sible in the accommodations it will provide
for the various public offices, while it will be,
in an architectural point of view, one of the
handsomest buildings on this continent and a
magnificent ornament to the city. The gen
tlemen composing the building commission
have good taste and experience, and they
may bo relied upon to make the new city hall
such an edifice as every Thiladelphian will be
proud of.
NOTICES.
Economy should be practiced by everybody In all
things. One dollar expended now in purchasing a
bottle of Jayue's Expectorant, by those troubled
with a slight Cough or Hoarseness, or Sore Throat,
may save tho expense of a doctor's bill. A neglected
Cough often ends in Consumption. A slight Inflam
mation of the lining of the wind tubes, the usual
symptoms of which are a Sore Throat and a Pain in
the Breast, will soon lead, through want of atten
tion, to Bronchitis. A day s delay may entail
months of buffering. Let the afflicted try at once
Jayne's Expectorant. It is a standard remedy, and
Its curative properties have been tested by thousands
of persons who have recovered their health by Its
use. Sold by all Druggists.

is now the standard remedy for Singers, Public
