BECKET SESSIONS. From, the '. r. TriVunt. We perceive that onr Methodist brethren, whose liberal course with regard to healthy fiinuseraentu we commended lately, are again in confeionce, and devoted the first day of their Beasion to a diicussion as to the expedi ency of exoluding all reporter, ia conse qnence of the notoriety given to their former 1 roceediDgs. They made no charge against the accuracy of the reports. The Hole objeo tion to them was, as we understand, that rLen tho reverend gentlemen asueinbled to talk over chutch affairs in an informal man ner ( with coats and gloves off and grammar loose), tbey did not wish nor expeot to "call in for an audienoe the myriad readers of the KewTork press." Now'it seems to us that in this objection our friends betrayed as little of the wiadoni of the serpent as the liarm lfsgnens of the dove. In the first plaee, they know littlo of the genuine -reporter not to under.. land that a locked door only whets his t.r. petite. If they invite and urge him to their conference, met likely he will treat them and their fcrit of reason with but slight notice; )nt let him scent a secret, and he will follow it lLLo a sleuth-hound till it is dragged out and torn to pieces before all men in the high way. On tho other hand, why, pray, should they tot have for an audience all New York, or fill the country? "When the reporter of the press plica into private affairs, listening at tho key-holos of back doors for the secrets and griefs of domestic life, in order that they may blazon thorn abroad for so muoh a line, h becomes one of tho most disgusting leeches tbRt prey upon modern sooiety. No man rho draws his livelihood from the vulgarer tastes and most prurient passions of other men can justify his right to live among them. 13 at a religions conference is not do mcstio life. These protesting clergy men aro by no means in tho position of a club of gentlemen who meet privately to exchange their views upon a matter of business, and command the right to secrecy. Clergymen are men who have set themselves conspicuously apart to iniluenoe the world in a particular, emphasized manner, and when they confer together, not only the church which employs them, but the world on which they are to act, has a right to hear and judge them. How else are they to deoide upon their fitness for the missionary work they have undertaken? "If tho trumpet give forth an uncertain sound how ehall we prepare ourselves for the battU ?" Consequently, let thero be n trumpet-blowing behind closet doors or under bushel measures. No minister of God who has his work earnestly in hand and koaps his life and words ccnforuiad in integrity to that work need be afraid of tho "myriad readers of the New York press," evon if his grammar is rustv and his style slipshod. Let hiui speak out Lis opinion, and the louder the better. Bad grammar and loose English wo all know so well nowadays that they pass with out notice. But a good man doing his work steadily and humbly, be it great or small, is a sight which all mankind turns the second time to look at. Why then cover it up in a corner ? ENGLISH AND AMERICAN TAXATION. From the X. T. Times. Mr. Lowe's first excursion into Amerioan finance has ended disastrously. In deference to "the violence of the opposition," a tax equal to a cent on each box of matches of a similar retail value has been withdrawn. The mobs of Palace-yard showed the Gov ernment how much political capital Mr. Disraeli could make out of this unpopular imposition. In bowing to the storm, they have exhibited precisely the kind of pru dence the possession of waioh might have enabled Charles 1, or unnappy memory, to retain his kingdom and his head, and might have helped that most pig-headed of monarch, George 111, to secure tor an other feneration the allegiance of his Ameri can colonies. But the difficulties of the Government are not over yet. The juggler's task of keeping half a dozen balls spinning in the air at the same moment is a tritio cam- pared with the obligations they are pledged to carry out. Tney nave to Keep tneir piuce among a number of great powers armed to the teeth, and by two of waoin tney inignt, any day, be challenged to mortal oomoat. Hence the necessity for a reorganized army, and an increase of the national stock of the newest and most effective weapons, involving an outlay of some two or three mil lions sterling. As an essential part of army reform, and as a sop to the "fierce Democraov." the abolition of cromo- tion by purchase comes in with a demand on this year's expenditure for one or two mil lions more. Altogether, the Governmust must raise nearly twenty-five millions of dol lars to meet the additional demands made upon the National Treasury. From last year there is a surplus of some ten millions of dollars, but as six millions of this will be swallowed up in the abolition of the house tax, which is to be removed to make way for a uniform system of local taxation, the defi ciency is not sensibly diminished. To understand the significance of this taxation problem in Great Britain, a com parison with our own burdens may be in btructive. The English Chancellor of the Exchequer asks from the nation for the ex penditure of the coming year, 360,000,000. Mr. Uoutwoll calculated that our own eipen diture, exclusive of any payments to account of the redemption of the public debt, would amount, for the year ending June 30, 1872, something short or 310,000,000. The ap rronriation actually made by Congress re duced the total still lower. Of course, this represents but one side of the contrast. The national taxation of the two countries cannot be called identical ia Kind, sinoe our State burdens cover a number of items which in England are charged to the people at large. 'J. Le elaborate figures of Air. Goschen, com piled with a view to the reform of local taxa tion in Great Britain, enable us to make the parallel tolerably complete. He shows that in England and Wales the annual sum raised by local rates amounts to 150.000.000. Includ ing Ireland and Scotland in the estimate, in proportion to their population, we place the aggregate of local taxation in Great liritaia at 25,000,000 per annum. Added to the amount expected from national taxes, we Lave the total financial burden of the people of Great Britain for the coming year, viz., 575,000,000. Mr. Veils, in his late reports on onr Stale taxes, gave the ag gregate btate ana local taxation of New York. Ohio, and Vermont as a sort of basis from which to estimate the total annual burdens of the United States. Taking the per capita rate cf Ohio as the average local rate of the States, we have taxation to the aiaouut of S:ilO,00,0(x) to add to the absolute ro iuire luents of our national expenditure for the year. This would give us a total burden of 1 070,f0O,()O0, to plaoe against the $585,000,000 of Great Britain. In other words, evon after inoluding a charge of twenty-four millions and a half to acoeunt of the sinking fond, which has only a very feeble counterpart in the English budget, , we are but sixty-five millions in excess of Great Britain In the ag gregate of our present burdens. To appre ciate the comparison, there are various ele ments to be kept in view. First, the popula tion of Great Britain certainly does not ex ceed thirty-thres and a half millions by the pressnt census, while our may safely be taken at thirty-nine millions, snowing the very closo average of s16"J7per head in England against Srl(-l.in tne Lnited Mates. We nave ex cluded from the comparison the surplus which we have this year provided for the pay ment of the principal of tho national debt, since it has no counterpart in the English budget, the "terminable annuities" there being moreover greatly exceodod in amount by the provision mode in our "sinking fund'' for a similar purpose, and which we have taken into account. It is almost unnecessary to say that in com paring tne nnanciai condition ot too two countuss, every other consideration tells against England. That a tax of one cent on a box of matches snould cause a riot sufficient to frighten the Government is sufficient evi dence how hard it is to increase tne tax bearisg power of the people of Great Britain. It is not too much to say that a dollar is twice as difficult to raise from or to earn by the mass of the people in England as it is here, and that, consequently, their finanoial burdens press on the nation with double the weight that ours do. The principal and inte rest of our national debt are now but little over two thousand millions, and the total is rapidly decreasing, while theirs is almost stationary at about three thousand eight hundrod millions. Onr material resources are boundless, while theirs show symptoms of exhaustion. Tne Jnglish democracy are perfectly cognizant of the facts which these figures but faintly represent. In spite of enlarged popular privileges, the grinding weight of taxation, instead of diminishing, is this vear to be still further increased. Let the rulers of England look to it. Their sub jects are of the same blood as the men who threw the tea into Boston harbor for similar reasons. The time may be nnpropitious for the "Beds" coming to the top, but it is a mere question oi a tew years, if the faces or the English poor are ground as they are at present. A MAN FOR THE REPUBLICANS. Frrm the If. T. Sun. All sagacious Republicans see that their only hope of Rnccess in the next Presidential election rests in their presenting some other candidate than Ueucral Grant. Who, then, btall be their nominee ? The stranger who should form an estimate of the statesmanship within the Republican party frim the qualifications of those upon whom General Grant has bestowed his princi pal otuces, would commit a serious mistake Though Grant's administration may be cha racterized as the reign of small men, the party is replete with talents of the highest order. Unfortunately lor the country, Re publicans of that type are either under the Presidential ban, or refuse to share with Grant the responsibility ofcarrymg on the Uovernmont. If the Republicans hope for suooess next year, they mast rooonoile their jarring fac tions, and chooso a standard-bearer wno will conciliate the extreme radicals and the ex tremo conservatives. He must be a man of mark, who, by services rendered to the party during the past sixteen stormy years, and by evidences of a lofty statesmanship suited to the present perilous crisis, has proved that he possesses o pacity to guide its councils. The disasters it was compelled to endure under the'rule of Johnson, and the experiment it tried in the selection of Grant, will undoubt edly deter the party from hereafter bestow ing power upon a man of doubtful fidelity to its doctrines like Johnson, or one who has not shared its fortunes in troublous times like Grant. The bitter experiences of the past six years have given the party its Jfill of such Presidents; and it longs for a tried man, whom it thoroughly knows and can entirely trust. Prominent among those named for meeting the exigencies of the Republican situation stands Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois. Origin ally a Democrat, and elevated by the Demo cracy of Illinois to the offices, successively, of member of the Legislature, Secretary of State, and Judge of tho Supreme Court, he differed with his party in leoj on the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and was sent to the United States Senate as an Anti Nebraska Democrat. His talents enabled him to immediately take a conspicuous part in the proceedings of that body; and down to the outbreak of the Rebellion he had few equals, either in the calm deliberations or exciting discussions which then engaged the ablest statesmen and debaters of both sections of the Union. From the commencement of the war till the present hour Senator Trumbull has exerted an important influence upon publio an airs. As chairman of the Judiciary Com mittee he has had the shaping of the most important acts of Congress, and of the three amendments to the Constitution. Sometimes overruled by his colleagues in the committee, and sometimes by a majority of the Repub licans in the Senate, we question whether any of them will now deny that whenever tney nave aineroa ironi him in years gone by he was nearer right than they were; and in respect to those reoent diner ences in regard to 6uch measures as San Domingo annexation, the ostracism of Sum ner, the enactment of more ooercion laws for the bouth, the concession of general amnsty to the late insurgents, the revision of the tarin, the repeal of the income tax and the ebtabli&hment of a system of civil service reform, we are sure that ere they get through the next Presidential campaign the Republicans will bitterly regret that they did not follow the lead of tho calm, inflexible Trumbull, rather than that of the impulsive, supple Morton. To meet and master the approaching- Pros idential conflict, the Republicans need to place in the field an experienced, wise, coura geous statesman, who has been closely laemmea witn the party ironi its advent. has assisted to frame its grand record and win its tloiiop.1 victories, and who now hits tte happy medium between implacable radicalism end stolid conservatism. They need one who, in this hour of peril, would t . 1 1 .- ."I . ii ' . - . concede au privileges in an citizens, ana, while maintaining the constitutional aufho rity of the Federal Government, would not impair the just rights or the States. Lju-au Irumbuil is precisely such a man aa e have described. He would not put to Lezsrd all that the Republican party lm achieved in tho past, by initiating measures fcr Us maintenance ho oppressive and exaspa rating as to keep alive controversies that tend only to c:i:luib results that ought to be treated as irrevocably settled. He would oon- ferve the three constitutional amendments by refraining from coercive legislation, whose legitimate etlects are to bring them into dis repute and inflame hostility against them among the people upon whom their novel provisions press with onerous weight. He would not, under false pretences, and behind thin disguises, overstrain the Constitution, and use the bayonet to pack a national convention of his party with delegates from the carpet-bag States favorable to his nomination to the Presidency. And in all this he would differ from General Grant, who, though Revised po to do by influential Republicans, has repeatedly refused to mike Mr. Trumbull Secretary of State, because he did not like to be overshadowed bv his superior talents, but preferred to have at his council board men of a calibre more nearly corresponding with his own. In a word, Senator lrumbuus nomination would consolidate and inspire the party which General Grant has divided and de pressed; and with him for its leader, ik would go into the canvass of 1872 full of oourago and hope. WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL DO WHEN IN POWER. From the ,V. Y. Ww ld. I It will limit the annual taxes to $250,- OC'0,000, and out of this moderate revenue will apply 25,000,000 towards the extinction of the publio debt; whereas the Federal taxes for the last fiscal year amounted to the enor mous sum of 411,2oj,447. II. It will revise and reform the system of taxation so that this diminished annual burden of $250,000,000 will to equitably distributed. The present system not only overload the faithful horto, but ties some of the load to bis legs, puts a part upon his heal, makes him drag a portion by bis tail, obstructing his freedom of movement, and causing him tho utmot-t annoyance. The Democratic party will withdraw every pound of the load from his limbs and extremities and collect it upon bis back where he can carry it with greatest ease. It will, moreover, take good care that the taxes find their way into the publio trea sury, and not into the pockets of greedy, grasping monopolists. HI. The Democratic party will reotify the abuses of the present bankirg system; ex tinguishing monopoly by making the busi ness free to all who comply with the con ditions, stopping the interest on govern ment bonds while in pledge to seoure bank circulation, and guarding against a redun dant currency by compelling the banks to redeem their notes in specie. IV. It will revive our prostrate shipping interest and restore to American citizens their former largo share in the profits of navigation, by free trade in ship3 and the repeal of duties on all articles used in their construction. V. It will extend and complete the system of universal suffrage by abolishing the term of residence now reqnired for naturalization, and giving intelligent white immigrants the same advantages enjoyed by our colored pop ulation. There is no reason why a thrifty German who emigrates to Texas and buys a farm should not at once be as favored a citi zen as the South Carolina negro who emi grates to Texas in the same year and is em ployed by the German as a laborer. VI. The Democratic party will faithfully fulfil all the obligations created by the publio debt in their letter and spirit, and will secure to disabled soldiers the fuli amount of their pbSkinna williont allowiug a dollar to be de ducted for the fees of agents. VII. It will repeal ail laws which permit the Federal Government, or any of its offi cers, to interfere with elections in the States. VIII. It will make it a high misdemeanor punishable by dismissal from the service for any officer of the army or navy to aid in the suppression of dorcestio violence in a State unless the State authorities have made a pre vious application to the President for suoh assistance, in conformity to the Constitution; or to interfere for enforcing any Federal law unless a Federal judge 'shall have previously certified that their execution of the laws is resisted by a combination too powerful to be overcome by the marshal and his posse. IX. The Democratic party will remove all the political disabilities and disqualifications imposed for participation in the late civil war. X. It will recognize the binding force of the three new amendments to the Constitu tion so long as they are to be held valid by the Supreme Court. Here are no flourishes, no bunoombe, no vague, cloudy theories which cannot bo re duced to praotice. If there is any Southern citizen who does not think this list of mea sures would bring relief from and redress of present evils and grievances, we cannot ret-peot Lis judgment. And if, on the other band, any Republican insists that the polioy here sketched is a mere bundle of negations and dead issues, he forfeits all claim to be considered a candid opponent.
