WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1871. tST The Evening Teleg-rapii, from its original establishment, has been in the receipt of telegraphic news from the New York Associated Press, which consists ot the Tribune, Times, Herald, World, Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening Post, Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex press. The success which has attended our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia bility of the news which we have received from this source. Last March we entered Into a special contract by which The Evening Telegraph has the exclusive use of the news furnished in the afternoon by the Associated Press to its own members, the North American, Inquirer, Ledger, Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat, of this city, and the leading journals of the East, North, West and South ; and hereafter The Telegraph will be the only evening paper published in this city in which the afternoon despatches of the Associated Press will appear. 3T Tko earliest regular edition of Tn Evening Telegraph goes to presa at o'clock, and the subsequent regular editions at 2j, 3, and 4J. Whenever there is im portant news of the progress of the Euro pean war, extra editions will be issued after this hour, and before the regular time for the early edition. SAN DOMINGO. Keab-Admiiul Lee, who is cruising around Han Domingo, has sent a report, dated January 8, to the Secretary of the Navy, which, although it manifestly intended to be aa favorable as the facts will permit, does not give a nattering picture of the political and financial condition of the proposed acquisi tion. The Admiral states that the delay in completing annexation "is attended by finan cial trouble, anxiety, and the risk of insur rection," President Baez, who proposes to hand Dominica over to ns, being sorely pressed by poverty on the one hand and by a rival ruler or would-be ruler, Cabral, on the other. It is pretty evident that Sum ner has some foundation for his assertion that the project involves a bloody lawsuit, and that Cabral will have to be bought up (or otherwise disposed of) as well as Baez, before the stars and stripes can float in peace and serenity over the black diamond which glit ters so brightly in the eyes of the President. As to the pecuniary position of Baez, the Ad miral tells us that, although his military ex penses only amount to about $7000 per month, it is growing so diffioult to raise this sum that repudiation of the old and nearly valueless paper money is openly ad vocated in influential quarters, and it can therefore be readily imagined that a contribution from the Treasury of the United States would be exceedingly serviceable. Even a small sop from our secret service fund would not be sneezed at, and as to a round million or two in solid coin, publioly appro priated, it would be enough to make Baez and all his satellites dance with joy. The Admiral says that "the population of Domi nica is small," which is a far better recom mendation than his assurance that it is "con fessedly excellent of this kind," whatever that may mean. TUE INCOME TAX. The indications are that Congress will proba bly repeal the income tax during the present session, if those who are interested in the matter will bring the proper pressure to bear. General Pleasanton has commenced well as Commissioner of Internal Re venue by de claring against this inquisitorial tax, and by presenting f oroible arguments against its con tinuance. He yesterday argued the matter before.the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives, which is under stood to stand at present five in favor of re pealing and four in favor of continuing the tax. It is, therefore, probable that General Pleasanton's views will prevail, at least with the committee, and that a bill will be re ported for the total repeal of the tax. There is no doubt that it costs nearly if not quite as much to collect the income tax as it is worth, and the n'hole subject reduced down to its simple elements means nothing more than that the people of the United States are obliged to submit to having; their most private business affairs investigated for the sake of supporting an army of office-holders, the great majority of whom could readily be dispensed with if this tax were abolished and other reforms in the internal revenue effected. We do not believe that a fciugle member of Congress who voted for the continuance of the income tax at the last session thought that it was necessary, bat the turning adrift of several thousand office-holders was a seri ous matter for politicians who had their ad herents among the collectors and assessors, and they preferred to defy the public at Ure rather than to offend the meu who might do rjood service at election tiuus. ThU, aud tL denire of certain Western and South ern members to favor con stituents whose wealth consists of lauds and produce rather than money, and who have" no cash incomes worth speaking of, oaused tbe income tax to be prolonged despite the promise made when it was first imposed as an extreme war measure that k should be discontinued at a cpecified date. That the amount of the tax wan reduced makes very little difference, for it was it necessarily in quisitorial character that made it obnoxious and not the amount it required those subject to it to pay. Tbe income tax is as objection able now as it ever was, and it is a scandalous piece of injustice that the people of the country should be burdened with it for the sake of keeping certain men in office who might with more advantage, certainly to the public, b3 earning their living in some other manner. In rsoroRTiON to population, value of pro perty, amonnt of business, and extent of territory over which it is transacted, no civi lized country is so badly provided with cur rency as the United States at the present day. The supply of the whole South and of many prosperous newly-developed regions in the West is a great deal smaller now than that furnished to the loyal States alone dur ing the Rebellion; and, as a natural conse quence, many business men are frequently subjected to serious inconvenience. As mat ters stand sow, all the gold and silver money of the country is kept out of circulation, a large portion of the greenbacks are held as reserve funds by the banks, and the people are forced to depend upon a stinted supply of national bank notes and fractional ourrenoy. An overstock of this money may be an evil, but an understock causes constant inconve nience, which might and should be remedied by appropriate legislation. As a result of the row in the Republican party in Nebraska, the newly-elected Senator (Hitchcock J received nearly as many Demo cratic as Republican votes. He may, there fore, be expected to strengthen the Demo cratic column in the Senate on many if not on all issues, and his triumph will cause a corresponding diminution in the Senatorial strength of the Republican party. ORITVAHV. Tbomna Uarrett. Thomas Garrett, one of the original Abo litionist, and lor many years a promiuent manager of the "underground railway" in the good old pro-slavery times, when to be an Abo litionist was to be an outlaw, died laBt night at his residence in Wilmington, Delaware, at the ae;c of eighty, two years. Mr. Garrett was a member of the Society of Friends, and from his earliest years he was bitterly opposed to slavery, and he gave practical evidence of his sympathy for the negroes of the South by aid ing as many of them as possible to gain their freedom. He directly assisted about eighty slaves to leave their masters, and to make their way to Canada, and, as was to be supposed, he was particularly obnoxious to all the supporters of the slave system. He was determined, how ever, to fulfil his duties as a practical Abo litionist, and never hesitated to resort to any expedient to eava a fugitive slave from the clutches of the law. His house was a regular station on the "underground railway," and he frequently concealed t-lavcs who were Uyinsr to the North for days together until opportunity offered for sending them safely on thoir way. On one occasion his house was surrounded by a party of slave-hunters, and, disguising himself and a poor negro woman who had sought his protection, he managed to pass her through the pursuers and conducted her to the depot in safety and sent her North. After the passage of the Fugitive Slave law, Mr. Garrett was sub jected to many persecutions, and he was on a number of occasions convicted of aiding fugi tive slaves to escape, and was subjected to heavy fines. His business as a hardware merchant was at one time nearly broken up, but his ene mies were unable to prevent him from carrying out what was the great object of his life, and he never hesitatec" to defy a law which he esteemed iniquitous In Itself and especially dis graceful to a free country. Despite his reverses he managed to build up an extensive business again, and prospered in his worldly affairs, as he deserved to do. Although a member of the Society of Friends Mr. Garrett seldom attended meeting, and was not on good terms with the majority of Friends in Wilmington and the neighborhood, because he thought they did not take a sufficiently firm stand agalust slavery. Re was a prominent officer for many years of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and ho was interested in all the radical reform movements of the day, being always in the front rank of the agitators of woman's Tights and all similar subjects. Mr. Garrett was possessed of a fund of humor that made him popular even with those who did not agree with him, and since the slavery question has been settled and the business of the "underground railway" perma nently wound up, there has been no citizen of Wilmington who has been more generally esteemed than Tommy Garrett, as he was fami liarly styled. iwiTisir iron.
