SriRIT OF TJ1JS MESS. EDITORIAL OrlNIONH OF THE LEAPING JOURNALS tTON CtJBRENT TOriCH COMPILED EVERY DAT FOB THE EVENING TELEGRAPH. TIIE rflESIDENTS rROCLA.MA.TION. From the N. Y. Timet. Wbeii, two jears ago, President Grant as snmed the duties of Chief MagiHtralo of the United States, ho recognized among tho three main obligations of his position the duty of Securing "protection to the peraoo. ami pro perty of the citizen of the United States in each and every portiou of our oo. union coun try." From this and its accompanying re solves the President hue never waverod. Democratic clamor and Republican luke waroirjeBS have equally failed to cauno him to deviate from a policy whose main attributes have been integrity, vi-or, and consistency. The proclamation of Friday is a login xl consequence of the declaration of lsil'j. Friends may have nhort memories, and foos may wilfully forget, but above th5 Htrife of factions and the plotting of cliques, the President retains a clear perception of the fundamental rights of the people, aud is pre pared to give effect to tho demand of his tirst mesRHge, "obedience to the laws, and proper reppect to the rights of others." The proclamation just insuad lays down three simple propositions: First, That, on the application of the Executive of any State, in canes where the Legislature cannot be con vened, the United States is bound to protect the peaceable citizens of that State against duuiestio violence. Second, The Legislature of the State of South Carolina is not now in Bession and cannot be convened in time to meet an existing emergency. Third, The Executive of that State "has made applica tion for such part of tho military force of the United States as may be necessary and adequate to protect said State and the citizens thereof " against domestic violence and ito enfore the due execution of the laws. These statements are of the nature of a perfect ej llogisni, and the conclusion deduced from it can only be dis puted by disproving the correctness of ono or more of its members. In the exercise of bis constitutional power, President Grant "commands the persons composing tho un lawful combinations" complained of to dis perse within twenty days. Failure to do so will, of course, constitute an act of rebellion against the United States, and will be dealt with accordingly. We shall, doubtless, have the regulation Democratic howl over this proclamation, with its accompanying monotonous grumble from "sore-head" Republicans. The majority of the party will, we are assured, indorse the firmness and the justice of the Executive. The issue is a perfectly simple one, and need be regarded with hesitation by no one. Either the Constitution of th United States provides for no such contingency as the President alleges, or the state of affairs in South Carolina can easily await the action of the State Legislature; or the Governor of that State has made no Buch application, as the proclamation says he has on no other grounds can its constitutionality and neces sity be assailed. No one will seriously call in question either the first or the last of the three leading Rtft'euients of the nroclauiation. treat majority of the Henublican nartv has fully made up its mind as to the truth of the second, and by them accordingly the action of the President will be sustained ani applauded. TIIE INCOME TAX. From the ,V. Y. Tribune. A correspondent called attention in our columns a lew days ago to certain changes in the internal revenue law which the assessors have apparently overlooked in preparing blanks lor the income tax this year. These changes are so important that we may as well point them out again, now that our citizens are called upon for their returns. The law of 18C8 gave the Commissioner of Internal Revenue authority to prescribe the form and manner of making returns of income, and cinder this authority an inquisitorial examina tion into the sources of every man's gains and profits was put in force. But there is no such authority in the present law. The sources of income whioh are to be included are indeed defined by the law, but no one is compelled to disclose them to the assessor. It is only enacted that every person liable to the tax "shall make and render a return of the gross amount of his income, gains, and profits as aforesaid;" and that "the assistant assessor Bhall require every such return to be verified by the oath of the party rendering it." This 'return of the gross amount" is very different from the "detailed statement of income, gains, and profits" which the assessors are sow exacting, and the seventeen subdivisions of the return printed on page 2 of the blanks for this year, as well as the fifteen vexations questions on page 3, are clearly unauthorized. As the law gives the assessor the right to in crease the amount of the return "if he has reason to believe that the same is under stated," and the only appeal from this inorease is to the Commissioner, many persons will probably submit to the imposition rather than run the risk of more serious annoyanoe; but it may as well be understood that the exami nation is illegal. A still more remarkable disregard of the alteration in the law is shown on page four of the blanks, where the form of an affidavit is given which "must be sworn and subscribed" in the presence of the assistant assessor by every person whose income last year did not exceed $2000, and who was therefore not liable to the tax. The act of 1870 is very clear on this point. No one whose income did not exceed $2000 is required to make any return or statement whatever. Seotion 11 reads: "It shall be the duty of every person of lawful age whose gross income during the preceding year exceeded $2000 to make and render a return," eto. That portion of the same seotion which empowers the Assistant Assessor to estimate the amount where returns are not made ac cording to law, expressly limits the authority to the case of "any person having a gross in come as above of 200 or more," who "shall neglect or refuse to make and render suoa re turn, or Bhall render a false or fraudulent re. torn." Persons therefore whose gross in. come during the year 1870 was not over f 20 K) may safety disregard; the assessor s notioos, If thereafter they should be assessed and taxt-l by estimate, the tax would be in contraven tion of the law, and the ourts would not assist in its collection. The blanks give notice, it is true, that "the form and manner of declaring tb.Ua person is not possessed of a taxable income" are prescribed in accordance with sectioa i:i of the act of July 11, 1870; but thdt se.;tio i does not convey the authority which the Commissioner draws from it. It provides "That any person, in his own leh-i)f, or as such fiduciary or agent, shall be permitted to declare under oath that he, or his ward, bf ntficiary, or principal, was not possessed of I an income of $2000 liable to be assessed according to the provisions of this act," or that the tax has been paid in another district. This is a permissive, not a mandatory oUus. It enables a man whose chief iocoms is derived, for instance, from dividends of corporations which ' pay the tat in advance, to be relieved of all further an tioyance by swearing that his income "liable to be axuessed" was not above $2000. Tho Commissioner ttretches it to mean that it obliges every one whose "gross inoonia" did not exceed $-2000 to make afli lavit to that effect before the assistant assessor, in. spite of the plain fact that the duty of miking any return at all is expressly limited by section XI to those whose income did exceed that limit. Upon the whole, however, we are not sorry that these nn warrantable interpretations have been adopted. Anything that makes the income tax more odious muHt hasten its re peal. It Las long been regarded as of doubt ful cotstitotionalify. General Pleasonton pronounces it unprofitable. And now it seems that the method of its enforcement is to be illegal. Can anything more be done for it? THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION. THE SCHISM IN OHIO A NEW TABTt OUOANIZINO ON LIVE ISSUES UNIVERSAL AMNESTY, FREE TRADE, CIVIL SERVICE REFORM, AND HARD MONEY. l'rvm the Cincinnati Chronicle. For some time past we have had rumors of a secret movement among a number of our influential ci;izns, haviog for its object to teke a hand in the politics of this county and State, and ultimately, it is understood, of the nation. This a flair has been brewing for more than a year past, and recently it had reached a stage at which it was deemed expe dient to issue a public proclamation. The ac count of these proceedings, in their more mature shape, as published by one of the par ticipants, is as follows: The first meeting was held Saturday, March 11, and was attended by about twenty lead ing Republicans. A committee of five was appointed to draft a declaration of principles. Judge Stanley Matthews, Judge George lloadlv. Georee 11. Shl'p. General II. L. Bur nett, and Frederick Huasanrek were appointed 1 tne committee, llieir report was made and adopted Saturday, March 18. On Tuesday a constitution was adopted, and Judge Mat thews was elected President by acclamation, and Judge Uoadly chairman of the exeoutive committee. Judge Uoadly, Lewis E. Mills, and Frederick liassaurek were appointed a committee to nominate remaining officers, to be elected at a future meeting. It is proposed to have an advisory commit tee of at least one member for each ward and township, and similar organizations are to be set on foot in other counties. Arrangements for a public demonstration are to be made, and the organization is to be as effective and extensive as possible. , MANIFESTO TO THE PUBLIC. We, the undersigned members of the Re publican party, proud of its past services in prenerving the Union, abolishing slavery, and establishing the political equality of all citi zens, but convinced that itsooutinued useful ness and success will depend upon its meet ing the questions of the present aud the im mediate future in that spirit of justice, inde pendence, and equality which has illustrated its progress hitherto, have orgauized the Cen tral lUnublican Association, of Hamilton County, for the promotion Uy our unite d efforts and influence of the following views and principles, which it is our earnest convic tion should be adopted by the Republican party for its future guidance: 1. We believe the further continuance of the policy of disfranchisement to be incom patible with a proper regard for the funda mental principles of republican government and sound statesmanship; aud, while unalter ably determined to maintain the great results of the war, we insist that its enmities aud resentments shall be buried, that all remain ing causes of irritation shall be removed, and that all political disabilities imposed for par ticipation in the Rebellion shall be abolished. 2. We believe that to defray the expenses of the Government, to pay the interest on the Lational debt, and the principal as it Bhall from time to time become due, a considerable portion of the publio revenues should be de rived from dnties on imports, but that such duties should be imposed for revenue and for no other purpose. We are opposed to the present 8 stein of protective duties. It is unjust aud wrong in principle, and defeats its own ends in practice. It is at war with every principle of equality and justice on which the Republican party was founded. It promotes corruption in legislation and plunder in high places. It has heed lessly and heavily increased the cost of living, crippled our export trade, de stroyed our shipbuilding, and paralyzed our industry. It has created onerous monopolies, augmented the expenses of collecting the revenue, encouraged smuggling, stimulated frauds and dishonesty in custom houses, and so increased the cost of production as to ena ble foreign manufacturers to undersell us in our own markets. We are willing to be taxed for the support of the Government, but we protest against being taxed for the benefit of private individuals aud corporations, and we further protest against making the shroud of the old Whig party the mantle of Republican ism. We therefore demand that tariff duties be so adjusted as to derive the requisite reve nue from the smallest possible number of taxable articles. 55. We are opposed to the employment of Government patronage for party purposes. We believe that the maxim, " To the victors belong the spoils," is immoral, unwise, aud detrimental to the publio service, and that its tendency has been to corrupt the political life-blood of the nation. We protest against the ue of public offices to reward political friends or punish politioal enemies. We are in favor of an immediate and thorough re form of the civil service of the Federal Gov ernment, and we insist that the appoiutments of subordinate officers should be made ou the ground of fitness only, with promotions for merit, and the tenure of the office depending on the honesty and effi ciency of the officer, without regard to the fluctuations of political opinions and the changes of party relations. We fur ther believe that party nominations should be made only wbei.party principles are at stake, and that the enstom of applying party or po litical tests to candidates for merely local offices df grades the standard of public mo rality, lowers the tone of p tlitiual affairs, breeds. corruption and inefficiency in oiije, and transfers the people's riKbt to choose their own municipal rulers and representatives to the fraudulent lottery of c.wioiiKe aud con ventions, which, instead of faailitatiofj, im pede, clog, and obscure the expression of tha popular will.
