Electoral Reform.
A part of tho members of tho Itopub
Hcan Stnto Commlttco, representing
minority counties, met tit Philadelphia
on Wednesday of last week, and nfler
consultation determined to call a Con
vention to consider tho subject of . Mi
nority Representation. Tho Conven
tion Is to meet at Heading on tho 31st
or August, and Is to bo composed of
two delegates for each representative In
tho legislature from tho several reprc
sentntlvo districts of tho State. It Is
supposed that tho main question beforo
tho Convention will bo tho introduc
tion of tho cumulative or freo voto Into
popular elections, and particularly Its
application to the choico of members of
the Legislature. To a general and fair
application of tho new prlnclplo thero
can bo no just objection, nor do wo
doubt that Its practical elTects would bo
most benoQcial and satisfactory. Al
though tho present movement proceeds
from men belonging to tho party op
posed to us, wo nro pleased to observe
that thoy proposo no partial or unfair
changes in our representative system.
Tho idea is that reform shall be applied
to Democratic and Republican counties
and districts without distinction, so as
to sccuro tho full representation of the
wholo people. At present, as tho cer
tain figures will show, out of GOO.OOO
voters In the State, 250,000 are unrepre
sented In the Legislature I Tho exam
plo of Illinois, which has Just adopted
tho freo voto for tho choico of Itepre
sontatlvcs In her legislature, gives great
encouragement to tho friends of reform;
for'it shows that tho now plan Is quite
practicable in an extended application
and can enlist tho confidence nnd sup
port.of tho peoplo of a great State.
Tho naturalization Bill.
This outrageous bill having been pass
ed by both Houses of Congress and
signed by tho President Is now a law.
This bill was Introduced in tho House
by Judgo Davis, but was amended in
tho Senato by having what wero con
sidered its most arbitrary features
stricken out. It still retains those sec
tions which it is pretended aro to pun
ish election frauds committed under
tho cover of naturalization papers. Tho
Stato courts aro nllowcd to issue natur
alization papers as heretofore, but the
United States courts are authorized to
appoint special agents who nro to super
vise all votes cast upon tho strength of
naturalization papers and to "overhaul
tho papers themsolves. Where these
agents decide that the papers aro fraud
ulent, or have been obtained under
false pretences; the votes cast by those
holding them aro to be thrown out,
Tho bill is to apply to all cities of 20,000
Inhabitants and upwards, though it is
specially I ntendod for New York city.
This is regarded by tho republicans as
tho climax of a series of measures, be
ginning with the fifteenth amendment,
which aro to cripplo tho democrats and
augment the power of tho republican
party. The bill to enforce the fifteenth
amendment was a part of this leg
islation. Tho measure Just passed
is to take effect at once, and will be ap
plied to the fall elections.
War Xfews.
Duo allowance must bo mado in read
ing the telegraphic reports concerning
the war, now In progress In Europe.
Thero is very little, which is definite,
allowed to become public, and the tele
graphic and postal arrangements from
tho seat of war are under Governmental
supervision. But, moro than this, it is
not beyond the limits of possibility,
that tho despatches sent to this country
may bo somewhat colored by those
having their own purposes to subserve.
Wo have seen so much of late years of
the manoeuvres of Wall Street specula'
tors, that, may It not be, under the di-
rection of theso gamblers in gold, tho
battles and disasters msy be prepared?
U.ho most absurd geographical and rail
ltary blunders have been mado public,
but It is scarcely to be supposed that tho
veteran generals of tho French and
" .Prussian armies would havo permitted
or encouraged them. Humors must not
bo confounded with truths.Newspapers,
although acknowledged to bo truthful
generally, will sometimes Ho under a
mistake.
Tho Press' Opinion.
Tho Philadelphia JVm.ono of tho two
papers, "both dally," published by that
staunch friend and rellablo politician
John W. Foruoy, is rendering itself
supremely ridiculous by Its partisan do
fensoand laudatlonofPrusslaA its sneer
ing and bitter condemnation of France.
Whatever may bo tho merits of tho great
contest, Jt Bhould bo rcmemberod that
Forney Is neither a Frenchman nor a
Prussian, fortunately for thoso two
countries, and has, therefore, no reason
for taking such an absurdly biased view
of affairs. No ono expects Forney to
take anything like a fair position with
regard to domestic politics but ono
would supposo that a purely foreign war
might have been treated otherwise
Forney's efforts to belittlo Napoleon
are as absurd as tho attempt of tho froir
In tho fablo to blow himself up as largo
as the ox. Would to Heaven that wo
could chronlclo for Fornoy tho samo fate
which befel tho frog. He burst himself
by his own vanity.
Death of Senator Norton.
Hon. DanloIS. Norton, United States
tsenator from Minnesota, died in Wash
ington on Wednesday night, of con
sumption, In tho forty-second year of
ins ago. Mr. Norton was born In
Mount Vernon, Ohio, on the 12th of
April, 1829, was educated In ICenyon
Collego.served with thoOhio volunteers
In tho Mexican war, afterwards studied
law, and was admitted to the bar of
Ohio; removed to Minnesota, of whoso
Senato bo becarao a member, and serv
ed u3 jtuch from 1657 (olBGl. Ho was
elected to tho United Slates Senato over
Morton S, Wilkinson as a Union con.
servntivo, and took his seat In 16C5.
Tho term for which ho was elected will
expire March 3, 1871. 1
Tho Xncomo Tax,
A WOM) TO IlEPUDMCANS.
During tho heat of tho rebellion, and
when our finances wero at tho lowest
ebb, Congress passed a rigid law subjec
ting incomes over $000 per annum to a
tax. This law was odious In form, In
quisitorial in 1U nature, nnd clearly
unconstitutional; yot tho peoplo sub
mitted to It as Ihoy did to manyolhor
hardships for tho purposo of aiding tho
Government. Tho fact of its unconsti
tutionality Is so notorious that Horace
Grccloy In tho lMune saya of it :
"Thofact that this tax is levied in fla
grant defianco of tlio Federal Constitu
tion may not amount to much In theso
tunes, nut sinco it is a met, it may not
be unworthy of mention. Thero Is
nothing In tho Constitution nioro pre
ciso or moro fundamental than tho pro
vision thnt direct taxes shall bo armor-
tloncd among tho States In tho ratio of
their Federal population. In other
words, If this Stato has five millions of
people, and Arkansas half a million,
tho Constitution prescribes that Arkan
sas shall pay Into tho Treasury, ns tho
prouuee oi direct taxation, exactly one
uonar ior every ion paiuoy isow ion:.
I nm nulto awaro that a iudicinl coach
and four has beer, driven through this
uonstiiutionni requirement, ycttneroit
stands, nevertheless, to condemn this
and every kindred tax as wholly tin
warrranteu."
It Is demoralizing becauso it puts In
tho power of each man to determluo
how much tax ho shall pay, and a dls
honest man for this reason has a great
advantago over an upright one. It is
an inccntlvo to rascality, and oilers a
premium to perjury.
It Is Inquisitorial becauso It compels
every man to reveal his business to tho
world; to show how much ho owes, and
how much ho is worth, nnd to detail
his receipts and oxpenscs.
Why is it, then, that a tax so Illegal,
so unjust, should bo continued; becauso
It oxpired this year by limitation, and
would never have been heard of again
had not Congress re-enacted it. It is
not that it produces so much rovenue,
because tho costs of its collection ex
ceed tho amount received. No'r does It
tax tho wealthy alone, becauso a man
may bo worth $100,000 and not pay as
much tax as a poor clerk with a salary,
It has been continued becauso mom
bers of Congress know that Its repeal
would diminish their patronage, and
lessen mo noruo oi oiuccrs that now
prey upon tho resources of tho nation
Their appointees would bo turned out,
auu tnelr Inllucnce weakened.
Wo hold that tho wholo internal rev
enue machinery is cumbcrsomonnd ex
pensive, nnd that a much better plan
would bo to assess upon each Stato Its
proportional share of tax, nnd let it bo
collected through tho machinery em
ployed by tho State for such purposes.
Thus a heavy expense would bo avoid
ed, the peoplo bo taxed by men of their
own choosing, and tho frauds and pecu
lations now so rifo in tho Revonuo De
partment would bo obviated.
But why should tho peoplo bo so heav
ily taxed at the present time ? In car
rying on for five years a terrlblo war,
wo wero compelled to contribute hun
dreds of thousands of men, make un
told sacrifices, and every man In tho
country gavo moro or less of his means.
Peace came, but our burdens aro not ro
moved. Local, Stato and National tax
ation have been kept at the highest fig
ures, and for the avowed purposo of
compelling tho present generation to
bear tho cntlro burdens of tho Jato war.
In tho name of the peoplo wo demand
that the taxes bo reduced until our
country has entirely recovered from tho
effects of tho war, and when every sec
tion and overy interest can contribute
its lust share, In ten years from now
wo believoa judicious tariffalono would
yield sufficient revenuo to pay tho In
terest of tho debt- and a largo part of
tho principal annually.
Tho EVth Amendment.
Judgo Bingham reported from tho
Judiciary Committee, and had passed
under n suspension of tho rules, a bill
to regulato tho modo of determining
tho ratification of amendments to tho
Constitution of tho United States pro
posed by Congress. Tho bill met with
much opposition, but it was finally car
ried. It is as follows :
Me it further enacted, etc., That when

OXII,
DAV11I THE KINO.
Ho seems to havo bcon a man of moro
energy and capacity, and withal very
vindictive considerably disposed to
tako things into Ills own hands, mid
not over humble to D.wld, whom, nev
ertheless, ho serves with a right good
will. Abner was something of n tlmo
server wo are not disposed to mourn
at his fato, so much as that of his rival
they both dio violent deaths they both
desert their sovereigns, and though
Solomon, when ordering tho death of
Joab, says that Abner wnsa moro right
eous and better man than he, yet wo
doubt.
Soven years and n half tho war raged
between tho houso of David nnd tho
house of Saul, when Abner, upon an
affront of Isli-Bosoth determined to de
clare for David. In answer to tho prop
osition from Abner, David replies that
ho will glvonoaudienco to them, unless
ho will bring with lilm Michal, who, it
will bo remembered, was tho first wife
of David. Although ho had with him
In Hebron at this tlmo six o thcr wives
tho recollection of his youthful love,
his first bride, was warmly cherished.
That ho was sincere in this request tlioro
Is no doubt, for messengers were nlso
sent to Ish-Bosctli demanding tho res
toration of Michal. And in ndditlon to
his love, there was also somo stato pol
icy In this step. Tho house of Saul had
a strong party In tho kingdom, and
David very wisely sought to rc-estab
llsh his old connection with tho family
of tho lato King. Wo beliovo that
David loved Michal, and she was un
doubtedly a lovely and amlablo woman
for Phalticl, who had now lived with
her for nearly ton years, "went with
her along weeping behind her to Bahur-
im." How many wives of tho present
day exert themselves to obtain so fast a
hold of tho affections of their husbands?
At bahurim, Abner took Michal under
his protection, and brought her to her
husband David, at Hebron.
After tho arrangements for placing
David upon tho throno had been com
plctcd, Abner set out on his return.
Joab, David's chief Captain, who was
at tho time absent on a forging expedi
tion, was much displeased on his return,
with thostatoof affairs. Ho rated his
sovereign very soundly for what ho con
sldcred his stupidity in permitting Ab
ner to depart in safety, and privately
scut messengers after him. They found
him at tho well ofSIrah and brought
him back. To avenge, as ho alleged,
tho blood of his own brother Asahel,
Joab, in plain English, assassinated
Abner.
Thereupon David, with somo little
hypocrisy as wo think, ordered a splen
did funeral, and "himself followed the
bier." His mourning was extravagant
though doubtless his Joy was also great.
The traitor Abner would havo been
yery troublesome, and Joab and ho
would have been the heads of turbulent
factions, which David could scarcely
have controlled. The ono was a long
tried and faithful servant, the other a
new and unscrupulous man, seeking to
ingratiate himself with his now sov
ereign, who was under some obligation
to him, as having betrayed into his
hands tho majority of tho kingdom.
Wo say theso men would"havo been
dangerous rivals, and wo do not see how
David would havo got nlong with
them. His loud manifestations of grief
upon this occasion, therefore, strike us
as insincere. And as If to strengthen
this opinion, Joab went unpunished,
except, If that can bo styled a punish
ment, a very peculiar kind of curse. At
any rate, ho lost nono of tho King's
favor, confidence, orcountenanco.
ssnoruy niter tins, isn-lioscth was
murdered by two brothers, Rechab and
ilaanah, who brought tho head to Da
vld; whereupon ho ordored them to bo
put to death, bringing ns ah excuso for
tho murder, and as a parallel case, that
of tho young man whom ho himself
slow in Zlklag, for bringing him tho
tidlugs of tho death of Saul.
Wo hero meet with ono of thoso traits
in tho character of David which do
him honor, to wit: his kindness to tho
crippled son of his beloved friend Jon
athan. Tho King himself sought him
out, and restored to him nil the lands
of Saul his father, and adopted him In
to his family, treating him as ono of
his own sons. We confess wo admire
and lovo to contemplato this act of Da
vld. It proves that ho still had some
heart left, nnd whatever he may have
been in other respects, ho was true to
tho house and family of Jonathan.
But perhaps tho greatest outrago com
mitted by King David Is tho ono for
which thero seems tho least extenua
tion. Wo mean of courso his sin con
cerning Uriah. Bath Sheba was but
onoof tho victims of his lust, and her
son Boiowan seems to havo inherit
ed his father's propensities with iuter
est. Perhaps this case was distinguish,
ed by more flagrant Injustice, moro
moral turpitudo than any other; and so
great was tho Almighty's displeasure,
that tho Prophet Nathan was specially
bent unto David, for tho purposo of ad
ministering a suitablo rcbuko. Wo
cannot but udralro tho simple manner
in which it waB conveyed. Tho Prophet
completely surprised tho King into a
condemnation of his own act.
But wo must hasten on. Wo fear wo
havo already trespassed too much. Tho
rebellion and death of Absolom tho
hanging of tho seven sons of Saul, con
trary to tho express oath of tho King
his great sin In numbering tho people,
which was so fearfully expiated by his
suffering subjects, all must bo passed
over with tho bare mention. Tho sick,
ness of tho King, tho usurpation of
Adonijah.thoson of Hagglth, tho dec
laration of David In favor of Solomon,
tho second and only surviving son of
Bath Shoba, mentioned above, nnd tho
vory characteristic chargo of David io
Solomon, upon tho latter's assuming
tho reins of government, are matters
which need not bo dwelt upon in this
place, In order to aid us In making up
our opinion of David tho King,
tiio choico of Solomon to succeed his
father was, undernll tho circumstances,
to bo oxpectcd. Tiio doctrlno of primo
geniture In tills matter was unknown,
kings being anointed by tho prophets,
as directed by God, And although Sol
omon docs not seem to havo been so
directly chosen by Qod aa Saul und
David, yet tho choico was ratified and
confirmed, and Solomon was, to all In
tents and purposes, tho King. Bath
Sheba was content, Sho had received
Iter prlco, it was finished.
So David slept with his fathers, bav
ins reigned over Israel lorly years, sey ,
on years In Hebron, and thirty nnd
thrco years hi Jerusalem.
But It Is no easy matter to draw his
character. Ho was both hotter nnd
worso than most men. Prosperity ele
vates lilm abovo himself, but adversity
never drives him to despair. Tho beau
ty of his character is then moro plainly
If not exclusively seen. A3 n man ho
does not seem to bo particularly scrupu
lous; ns a king ho has no conscience.
Ills difficulties nro overcomo by false
hoods, his lusts nro ministered .to by
forcoorstratagem, nnd ho stops at noth
ing which will ensure their gratifica
tion, very nttio is related in regard
to tho public affairs and Internal policy
of his reign, but ho was prompt to ro
vengo Injuries, and upheld tho honor of
tho nation. Ho was very impulslvo,
nnd went astray frequently his pass-
Ions, ns well as his prejudices, seem to
havo been his masters, and wo to the
man who stood in tho way of cither of
them. His virtues however wero set
off by his vices, and tho latter wero as
glaring as tho former were glorious
His rcllanco upon Qod sccra3 to havo
been ndeep seated coufidcuco nud con
vlction,and his sins were always follow
ed by tin apparently heartfelt repen
tance.
Upon tho wholo wo find much In his
life to ndtnlrc, something to cxcusc,nnd
not a llttlo to forgive

Messieurs: Tho manner iu which
tho country received our declaration of
tlio Cth of July led us to commenco no
goliations with Prussia to secure her
recognition of tho validity of our grie
vances. Wo did not treat witli Spain,
whoso indcpcndcnco wo havo no wish
to trammel, nor with tho Princoof Ho-
hcnzollcrn, whom wo consider to bo
under tho shadow of tho King, nor
navo wo advanced any other grlovunco
than tho candidacy of tho Princo for tho
Spanish throne.
Tho Prussian Minister of Foreign Af
fairs opposed to us a determination not
to reccivo our representation, pretend
ing to ignore tho nffalr. Wo then nd
dressed ourselves to tho King, who
maintained that ho was a stranger to
tho nllulr, and that ho could not inter
vene except as head of tho family, but
ho avowed that ho had instructed Bis
marck. We could not accept that an-
swer, aud wo demanded that tho King
snouid inllucnce tho Princo ot Hohen-
zollern. Resistance, in tho project,
camo from tlio quarter whonco it was
least expected, Wo then demanded
that tho King should glvo a protnlso
for tho future. This moderate domand,
mauo in modorato terms, wo declared
to bo without any reservation.
Tho King declined to say that ho
would rofuso In future to Interfero with
tho candidature, and ho refused to au-
thorlzo us to transmit to you a declara
tion that lie would In future opposo tho
candidature. Ho declared that ho ro
served to himself tho right to consider
circumstances,
Evon after this refusal wo did not
break off negotiations, but adjourned
our explanation to you until this dato,
Yesterday wo wero apprised that tho
King of Prussia had notified our am
bassador that ho would no longer ro-
celvo him, and to render n rupture more
obnoxious ho gavo notice of his action
to tho Cabinets of Europe
At tho samo tlmo ho announced that
Baron Wertlier might tnko leave, and
tho nrmamonts of Prussia had com
menced. On our part wo yesterday callod out
tho reserves, and wo havo takon such
other measures ns tho interest and hon
or of tho country demanded.
