The subject of repeal ing the income tux is also receiving a good deal of attention, and causingcoli- Miitornblo discussion. It is, more than probable, says our last intelligence from Washington, that if tills tax is not now abolished, it will at least be modified so ms only to reach incomes of,over two or lluce thousand dollars.

It was justly expected by the people that this article of prime necessity to poor men, would be relieved of at least ,a portion id ihetaxupon it ro pamper the wealthy niiliobsoftheland. Butno. It remains, and the poor who pay it must grin and : in ar. The duty on a ton of coal is one dollar and twenty-five cents, hence, the poor man who buys a ton pays just that ■mu to support a class of meu who are Milling in affluence and luxury. There i> no complication about this matter, and every one .who buys coni knows to Ilia cent what he pays for “protection” —bo far.at least as the article of coal is concerned. The Philadelphia Age says : “It'.ls ■announced that the President will nom inate no odd for a Judgeship on the Su piomo Bench whom he does not know to be eommitfed to the constitutionality of the Beconstruction Acts of Congress, and all proceedings undei them. This is a new element infused into the ap-' pointing power lodged with the Chief Magistrate of the nation. If Judgesare to he right upon one question, why not on all others? In that case a Supreme Bench may be obtained, which will de clare a law constitutional, elevating the President to the post of Supreme Dic tator. Step by step the Radical party is approaching that point, and the coup d'etat may be nearer than the masses anticipate.” ■ , Tub Way the Money (Joes. —There are five hundred military officers, from. Colonels to Brigadier Generals, in the United States, who draw pay from the Public Treasury, and do nothing but loaf around bar-rooms, drink grog, play faro, and smoke cigars. Averaging their pay at $lO a day, it costs the people $5OOO per day to kei pup this lazy, loaf ing crowd of shoulder-strap gentlemen. It is uo wonder the Southern States cannot be satisfactorily’ reconstructed. These fellows ail want to be United Slates Senators, members of Congress, Judges of Courts, &c., and if they can not get such positions, they wish to hang on to the Treasury like leeches, eating out the substance of the people. When the voter's shall assert their su premacy, this state of things-will cease, to exist. While the Radical party is reckless ly legislating ignorant half-civilized ne groes—hesbted cotton field hands into full-fledged citizenship—it is seeking to throw every obsticle it can in the way of intelligent foreigners, and prevent them from feadily acquiring citizenship. A hill is now before Congress amending the Naturalization laws, so that only United Slates Courts can issue eertifl- rates of naturalization. United States Courts only meet twice a year, and at two or three points in a State. A for eigner who happens to settle in this county, would have to make two trips to Philadelphia before he could secure his papers. But then we should not com plain. A nigger is a “man and broth er,” while an Irishman or a German are beer swilling hogs.” If any man of good common senso can look on the filthy,slimy pool of Ameri can politics, with a President dabling in Stock and Gold Gambling. out to the highest bidders the highest offices in his gift; with miserable wretch es who could’nt be elected road masters in their native townships, representing great States in the Senate of the United Slates j with pimps and hariotsnctually controlling tho legislation of the country through lobby appliances; with niggers in State Legislatures; if we say, any sane man can look on all this and say wo are •not drifting toward the devil faster than any nation of ancient or modern times ever drifted,then wo will throw up the sponge and admit that Hist ry is a Lie, jad Revelation a humbug. A SWINOI.K There nro' severaj Ilttln-souled dema gogues who hold seats by .fraud in the United States Senate, ayepand in the House too; hut the meanest, lowest, most contemptible hound that, was ever forced into the Senate .is Grant’s late Mississippi satrap, “General Ames.” Pending the election in Mississippi this dirty hireling of apift-receiying admin istration had command in that State, and lie gave it out publicly that he would carry the State for the Radicals if ho had “ to .use thopoint of the bay onet on the people at every election, district.” This atrocious declaration by Ames was a menace to the people, some 1 of whom—simple sou Isabel ieving that there was some honor and decency in the smoker of the White House, reported' Ames’ words to him, with the informa tion that if the bayonet was to be used, against the Conservatives, it would be better not to hold an election.' Grant —how. like him!—instead of calling his satrap to account and instructing him in his duties, remarked to the commit;. tee that called upon him, that “ ■ . n. ; Ames: meant well, hut was a little im prudent.” This was,Gran 's vep'y to the Mississippians whocalted upon him to complain of the brutal conduct and .actions of that petty nincompoop and coward, Ames. - • The so-called- “election'”, took place, hut it proved a farce. The people,of tile State were met at every poll by Ames’ tionps; they were menaced, abus ed, arrested, and some of them oast into prisons. Ames carried -,ut his threats to tire letter ; lie ns■■■! the “bayonet oh the people at every election district.” By this means lie carried the State for tho Radicals, and the ■ first act of his Legislature was to elect him and another .nigger to the United States Senate! Ho was quick to demand ids pay for hav ing carried the State for the Radicals, and ho got it. But this is not all. Instead of resign ing his military commission after his election to tho Senate, as any man who is not part dog, would have done, hoS asked Grant to grant him leave of ab sence from military duties during his Senatorial term, and this disgraceful proposition Grant has acceded to! He will therefore receive pay as Senator and as ..General. , Ther° would be no mercy shown to a bandit that would demand ,ydur money or your life; yet, wo have the same principle carried out in this very instance, and the swindler ap plauded instead of condemned. Gen, ■ Am?? i®h3iTßU-ra‘;‘-t h £ offlce Grant he says—“l want to cheat the Treasury out of ten thousand a year, will you .permit me, if you please?” Grant answers, “yes!” Perhaps in the histories of the bandits and tyrants of the world, we can read nothing equal in atrocious infamy to this. Ifjnstice could overtake this little cowardly New England General, he would be hanged like a dog, fbr a dog he is. During the war lie was hover heard of, but since the war his infamous : name has become familiar to the people. Of course, he is a low-bred, avaricious, sycophantic, shameless demagogue, and such men are always tyrants and always cowards. Forsix years the United States Senate must be polluted by this foul scab,.this dirty, pussilianimous wretch. For six years, by I ,,pprmission'of Grant, he is to draw a General’s pay without performing an hour’s duty. ■“ God save the Commonwealth I” , A beautiful Sen ator is he for Mississippi. Better would it be for that once greatCommmiwenlth. if a skunk—n native of the State—could occupy the seat that is to be occupied by Ames. It is well that he has an Ohio negro for his colleague, for there ate few white men who would covet the. honor. And this is the wretch Forney' delights to eulogise. This is the miser able driveler he refers to as “General, now Senator Ames!” ANOTHER RADICAL FItHIT. The Reading .Democrat says: ‘‘A very lively fight is: in progress between two shininglightsoftho Radical party, Hon. Simon Cameron and Hon. A. K. Mc- Clure. McClure has published a letter stating that Cameron was removed froirj the position of Secretary of war under Mr. Lincoln, and that the published correspondence at the time of Stanton’s appointment was merely for the pur pose of deceiving the people, and saving Cameron from the mortification and disgracoof a publicdismissal. McClure, denies a. statement made by Senator Wilson, in an article in the Atlantia Monthly , to the effect that Mr. Stanton was appointed at Mr. Cameron’s sug gestion. Mr. Cameron is furious at this expo sure, and calls Mr. McClure “a liar,” and other hard name-', stating that any one who knows him would not believe a word he says or writes; McClure, however, insists that his statement is correct) and as he is one of the shrewd est politicians in the conn try, and has had every opportunity of becoming ac quainted with the facts of the case, many people are inclined to believe him. The discussion excites a lively interest in political circles, and further develop mentsareanxiously awaited. No doubt they will be promptly forthcoming, as both parties appear to be savagely in earnest.” The niggers ere preparing for n grand celebration of the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. At a meeting of the Auxiliary Committee to theNntio nal Committee in Pittsburgh, on the 11th inst., the, following resolution, among others, was passed: • Hesotved, That we most respectfully ask the frioadu of justice, human liberty and political equality, (better known as to de corate ana Illuminate their houses and places of business on the day night of the celebration. We shall expect to see all the “friends of justice, human liberty and political equality, (better known as republicans),” close their places ofbuslnessand ilium! nate their houses In this place on that eventful day. We also respectfully sug gest tin t tho “friends ofjustice, human liberty and political equality,” .turn out and join in tho procession, arm and arm, with their “men and brethorn.” We will, on application, furnish a program me, assigning tho most prominent “friends of justice, human liberty and political equality" their positions and "pards” in the grand triumphal pro ce-sion. “On with the dance!” “Scent ing bottles strictly forbid!” Thebe is not a single carpet-bagger in tho Tennessee Constitutional Conven tion-all, without exception, native and to the manor born. This needs atten tion. Some Radical must see to this. CADr.l’fiUU’S. The special committee of the House at Washington, appointed to ascertain whether members, of Congress have been engaged in selling cadetships for money, have already smoked out three “truly loll” members, who have been engaged in this dastardly rascality.— That beauty, John Covodo, of this State, Is one of them, and the -Rev. IS. T. Wliitteuioiv, a carpet-bagger, misrep resenting a district in South Carolina, is another. On Monday last Mr. Lo gan, (Radical) introduced a. resolution expelling tho.Beverend rascal from the House, which resolution has not yet been acted on. Selling cadetships for money is bad. enough—a heinous crime—and the Member of Congress who has been guilty of this infamy should bo brand ed on the forehead and then expelled from the country. But yet the candi dale for Congress who bujtS political capital by promising cadetships to cer tain men in consideration of their in flence, is just as culpable, just as crimi nal, and just.ns much.of a villain as the' elected member who sells cadetships for money. One sells for political influence, and thus feisty himself .into Congress against the wishes of the people; the other sells for money. One is as guilty as the other—and both are infamously guilty. During the Congressional contest in this district last fall a-year, the writer of this article had an opportunity of feeling the pulse on this subject of ca* debdiips. We were in the field as a candidate, with flattering prospects be fore us.,. If there was one there were dozens of men—some of them promi nent Democratic politician's— who' ten dered us tlieir support, provided we would pledge our word to appoint (in the event of our . election,) a son, or nephew.-or friend to West Point or the Naval Academy. In every instance we declined to make the promise, and con sequently we received the opposition o' every man who had approached u- with this bargain and sale proposition. We say then, that the candidate fur Congress as well as the Congressman elect, who-makes a bargain either for money or for political influence, com mits a crime; and now that Congress is investigating the matter, let the inves tlgn tion be searching, and let the man "who sells a cadetship for political influ ence ns well ns he who sells for money, be held up for the finger of scorn to point at. THE PRESIDENT Tr> u, - r «nsvicrrelationa the President is treated with the utmost deference aud respect. Mre. Grant ins’sts that whatev er may be the proper homage for him to receive on public occasions is none the less proper in the privacy of his own family circle. Thus be is always addressed as Mr. President, and referred to as the P'esident, and the servants are s'rictly enjoined to observe this mark of distinc tion. Ou stale occasions, the President, of, course, with the most distinguished lady guest, leads the way into the dining I room. But this strict etiquette Is by.no means confined to such solemn occasions. Should a friend of the President, bow eveiy intimate he might bei accept an in vitation to. dine socially,'and venturing upon bis Intimacy, presume to forget the preference* to which the President is en titled, he would be reminded of it. Thus, when dinner, is announced, the guest will offer his arm to Mrs. Grant, and move forward. Mrs. Grant checks him withapoiite bow toward her husband, and., the remark, “ the President goes first.” So at the table; the President Is tirwt uorvod. and tUon thnijo meal with hint. And this rule admits of no variation n rider any circumstances.— Radical .Exchange. This has always been the etiquette of the White House, but the parvenue is apparent when doubt of their own real position is suspected or guests are pub licly notified what apaenitipa of social life are required, No words of warning are necessary in n well bred fttmily in the presence of guests, much Jess to tin m lo assign to each their respective I places, or lectures ns to their conduct. It is only those who are in doubt as to their own position or behavior, who ever thus offensively insist upon the Recognition to take rank or precedence. President Grant is quite right in de manding foi his position nl) tfierespect due his office, but that respect hereto fore has. been accorded rather than ex torted. Before Mr. Lincoln’s time the Presidential office had been occupied by gentlemen who were" accustomed to good society, and lyhose hospitality was not oppressed with written rules or re quired for its dispensation the reminder of the hostess or servants. But when, low people are suddenly thrust into high life, they suspept the outside world -will not recognize them for what they think they are worth, and lienee In ut- | ter violation of good taste and good breeding, insist upon, strict compliance with rigorous rules. President Grant and hjs family should spend a few years in good society, qnd he would find that the accident of striking a flowing oil well, making millions of shoddy contrac s, or being picked out of a mud hole and placed in the Presidential chair did not make him a gentleman in the absence of education and other nee essary qualifications There are now ‘‘ln durance vile” in British jails a number of American citizens accused of no crime, Indicted for no offence, but simply inspected of being Fenians. Opr model President and our model Congress have not uttered a word—not lifted a finger In the behalf of these suffering men. Are they too busy legislating for the good of the ‘‘man and brother” to look a'ter .an imprisoned Irish-American, against whom no crime but that of love f>r the land of his birth is even remotely’charg ed? - - It is said that at least one carpet bag member of Congress has been implica ted in the saleof West Pointcadetships. There is nothing strange in this. The reconstruction laws have rendered eve rything tike respectable representation from that quarter impossible. They have excluded from Office every man In the South *lio is fit to hold It, and made ten millions of peoplethe victims of un principled adventurers. These miser able wretches would sell anything— would dispose of their mistresses favors.

There were present nine of his children, sixteen grand children, three sons-fn-laW, and four daughters-in-law. A bountiful din* uer had been prepared by lh«» • MMren, but before partaking of the good things the following address, on behalf of the. children, was road hy Capt.

Fifty years ago, to-day, you gave evl deuce of the union of your hearts by unit lug your hands in tbe bonds of matri mony. In these few years—-as they may seem to you—what wonderful changes have wrought in the outer world, the Church of God, and in your personal experience. \ , This nation,..then like a beardless youth, was just starting, into existence, doing bubinesson pack saddles, ana wlih. continental money. Now, in fulfillment of her grand and sublime mission, her domain sweeps the continent. And by her net work, of railroads and telegraph wires.'Oceaus are. brought within speak ing distance, and tbe extremes of the nation within the range of a pleasant social, visit. The Presbyterian church, in which it baa been your privilege and honor, re spected father, so long.io serve as a ruling Wder. was then but a feeble baud: And, although since then, in an evil hour.she was rent in twain, you have lived to see her re-united in the bonds of an Eccles iastical Marriage Covenant,* and how she constitutes one pf the mightiest moral powers on the face of the earth. And if you turn toyour own personal history, the changes-are'scarcely less wonderful.. We all know that ;you entered life wjfhoht the influence of either powerm ‘rieudsdr fortune. In that humble home, where .kitchen/ dining-room and parlor were all found within the sameenclosure, .uany u frugal meal was eaten and many m anxioua hour was spent when none •>f iis. were old enough either to share vour poverty or to cheer you with our sympathy. Biit, though you went forth doubling, bearing the precious seeds of a uture fortune, you have returned with nJuicing, bparingyour sheaves v*itb you. Tbe frugal habits, persevering inch's try, and strict integrity of purpose, (the only capital you had to invest),: have brought, forth an abundant harvest) and we trust will domueh to lighten cure and to.sweeten the .evening. of yourlives. As parents, you have enjoyed the un usual privilege of seeing nine ofsour children grow up to maturity.

Four of yourchil-. dren apd four of your grand-children are not, for God has taken them' They will be there to meet you when \on reach the home of the blest. As children, we feel we owe you a debt of gratitude we shall never be able to re pay. Fresh from tbe hands of God we were cast upon your care. The first years of our lives were commuted to your training, and we desire fo record, on this intereatingoccaaion, the fidelity you have shown in this regard. You have watched around our cradle ; you . have knelt in prayer by our bedside ; you have mois tened pur pijlows with, your tears, and spent man\ an anxious hour on our a be half. And for very much of what we are. we are. ipdebted‘to your example,, your counsels, and your pray ers. For all.that you have done ana suf fered on our behalf, you deserve and shall receive our moat hearty thanks. As a family we have had. much, very much that was pleasant to enjoy, and which will always be pleasant to‘recall. But wonderful as have been the changes in the outer world and in the htatorvref - fimtuy, nicy • U 1« util greater than what have taken.place Jn your own persona.

The I policy winch' the President flaunted In his an- I uual message, and' which Heoretary Routweil I sustained in his annual report, ogalust the re- I duouun ol taxation, has met with its best answer • u the depressed business interests of tho couu- the cry that a Democratictriumph la New 3am shlro In March, and a Democratic victory at the polls In Conueticmiu April, would I show tho repudiation ol that com so oy the peu- I pie. The drat movement to counteract this was I developed In the electioneering telegrams which I Congressman Dawes sent to the former, btale, I and In wnlou he declared his fealty to Kadical- I ism, despite tt£bud exhibit he had made for It [ in exposing the extravagances of the udmluls- I trutlou. The second movement was made Uv the I Wuyuand .Means Committee, who agreed 10 rec- I ommoml to the House a general reduction of In | ternal taxation, equal loan amount of thirty ! millions' ol dollars per year, and proposed to : umoua the pending 'lax bill to that effect. This it was Ingeniously argued, with the twenty mil lions Wi.lch It was claimed, IbeuoW'Tariff bill propose!! to reduce, would ‘make fifty, millions m all; but this is a mure Radical assumption, lor It does not appear yet that the ulil will savo bkiy such amount. Indeed, thus far, it bosprov .edto be a scheme for protection. The president forced Into un appearance of favoring this reduced taxation by the chairman of tue Ways and Albans Committee, who, accompanied by another'membor, urged his conversion to tho uew policy. Yesterday they agreed tliat y lhe public debt could not bo funded at present, as * proposed In tho fcleuate bill, and thutln.viewof that fact tbo burdens ul taxation should be light ened by reducing the Internal system. .Theplan was then agreed On as fulfilled to-day.
