GOODRICH. R. W. MEI= Towanda, Thursday, June 80, . • . mar There will be no papOrlsira • from this office next week. Ttli• - s Argus recently printed sis iiitaineediticiai L 1 cafe% Via Danville lidelligencw,. denouncing Judge, ?Llascr,lor voting against the repeal of the Income. Tax,. We ar e gratified iit; being thus able to p ut both these Demoeratic journals on the reftord, na favoring the repeal of this tax, as we paredict that in the coming canvass, should Congress re fuse to continue the Income Tax, we shall have both, of them charging the Republican party with legislating for the benefit of the rich, by remov ing the tax on incomes I The. Senate recently, by a 'very de cided vote negatived the proposition to continuo the Income. Tax, and there seems to be a prospect that the measure will fiil in both houses, and consequently the law will expire by limitation. ..The- question. does not seem to assume a partizan aspect in Congr, ess, as some of .the ablest speeches, for and against its continu ance have been Made by Republicans —both the Senators from this State opposing it. The views of members v : cording to the sentiment of tl a people of their respective districts the commercial and heavy mann acturing and mining sections being opposed, whilst the agricultural die- I tricts favor the continuance. We hare already expressed our opinion in favor of the continuance of -the Income_ Tax, and we believe Judge MEE= correctly represents the feelings and wishes of his con stituents by his votes. The tax is galled " odious and inquisitorial." Any tax is " odious," and if fully collected, must be in a measure " in quisitoriaL" But the burdens of tax ation_ should fall as , lightly as possi ble.npon the people,; and who more able to bear them than he whose in come is largely in excess of his needs. The industry of the country should be relieved as far as possible, from all onerous burdens, while wealth and luxury should be made to contribute as largely as is fair s and just, out of its superabundance to sustain the insti tutions under whose benificent oper ations they have been enabled to se cumulate. In doing this we would carefully avoid all " class" legislation. We would not legislate as against the rich—but we would also consider that wealth, and largo and extended business relations are always able to take care of and protect themselves. The straggling mechanic and the hard-working farmer, should not be crushed beneath a load of taxation— whilst the Wealthy capitalists, whose means are invested in bonds or secn- rities, can pay his fair share of taxes, without inconvenience. The correct and equitable principle upon which all taxation should be based, is to make it fall as lightly as possible upon those who have to pay it. That;the Income Tux is imperfect- ly collected—that its payment is evaded by dishonest men, in making falsC retnnis,.is no argument against its propriety. Such an objection might be made against the continu ance of any system of taxation. It would apply with equal force to all the varied relations of life, where as sessments or taxation become neces- said—to religious societies and to political organizations. So long as men are mercenary, •avaricions, and dishonest, they will endeavor to es cape bearing their share of the ex penses'and burdens incident to gov ernment or association. And such men are to be found everywhere. We know that in this community, there are men who return honestly their incomes, while others", with ten times as large yearly gains commit false swearing to save the payment of a few dollars. This is no argument against the justice , of the law, brit only proves the melancholy depravi ty of human nature, which crops out whenever a dollar is in the balance. The inquisitorial character of the law is unquestionably repugnant to the independent character of the American people. We don't like to have anybody prying into our pri-_ rate affairs. ~To such a ridiculous extent does this feeling prevail, that the census takers often encounter in dividuals who resent as impertinent the asking of questions necessary to obtain the statistics of the nation ! Large corporations and heavy opera tors are unwilling to give publicity to their enormous profits or perhaps tolhe lack of gains. All these objec tions apply with equal force to any .system of taxation, which at' best is unpopular and at times, perhaps, op pressive. But the requirements of the government demand that a cer , tain amount of money shall be paid into the treasury yearly to be applied towards current expenses; and the reduction of the national debt. How to raise the largo sum necessary is a delicate question, requiring much ex perience and' sound judgment. If Republicans differ with us, as to the propriety and justice of the Income Tax we shall not denounce them, be cause we believe the members of Congress are anxiously endeavoring to fix this question of taiation upon an equitable and just basis. • HEAVY Lt au Brit.—The North umberland county Gazelle Baia Messrs.

We published a week or two since a tale' of horror which has gone , the rounds of the pro* giving the par- deniers of thadeath of three circus musicians, who by en accident to , the car on which they rode , were ttun bled into a cage of lions and daicitir; ed by them. the , follovAng which sounds very much llite the Chicago Post, but which we clip from another paper, discredits the story, which seems tohave been entirely unfound ed, and pixrely ,isensational: " What shall we believe ? Hero -we published in good faith a few days since a thrilling story of three musical blowers belonging to a circus tumbling into a cage of lions and be ing incontinently converted , inter fresh meat for a lionine supper—or breakfast, we forget which. Now perverse and unbelieving showmen say there isn't a 'word of truth in the shocking story. The lions treated the musicians with distinguished consideration, and politely escorted ' them to the door of the cage without taking even a single juicy steak from them. The musicians didn't tumble into the den of lions at all, but went on blowing their horns with melodi ous composure. The lions were not at all hungry; and couldn't digest the musicians if they had swallowed them. There weren't any lions at tached to the circus. There wasn't any circus. The musicians tumbled into a den of liars—not lions." k :4 :Oa w Altr) :4k) :4;71,114 The nomination of Mr. Ackerman for the Attorney-Generalship means the recognition of Georgia as a State in the Union, in spite of the persist ent efforts of factions in and out of Congress to befog her true condition and postpone the day of her deliver once. It means the. recognition of the best Union men of Georgia, those longest identified with the fortunes of the State, who most heartily ac cepted the results of the war, and have most honestly 'and faithfully en deavored to repair t its breaches: It means the recognition of Twelve Millions of our; Countesmen. They went in, or were swept in, to a war which left them defeated and deso late; they have, after frank and man ly submission, been too long treated 'as if they were to be °forever exclud ed from trust, were to be taught that they really were to remain without a Country;—they are at last shown in . the most signal way that the Govern ment they sought to overthrow is magnanimous enough to forgive and strong enough to trust, wherever it finds the forgiveness accepted or the trust deserved. HON. Atm A. WELLS, Special Commissioner of Revenue, says offi cially that "the unproductives are the chief makers of laws and institu tions for the protection of labor and ingenuity, and shape their devices so cunningly, and work them so clever ly, that they grow rich faster than the producers." Among these cunning unproductives must be numbered such men as George Washington, who signed the first tariff act, "for the encouragement and protection of manufactures." A majority of the first Congress of the United States are in the same category. The cun ning unproductives boast such. allies as Benjamin Fmuldin, who, in • writ ing to rtni q phre y Marshall April 22, 1781, proposed "to encourage our young manufacturers in preference to foreign ones imported among as from distant" countries." Alexander Hamilton,' Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, - Andrew Jackson, and other American statesmen must also be numbered with the cunning unpro ductives of Mr. - Wells, for they were the urgent advocates of "laws for the _protection of labor and ingenuity" Placing these men upon one side, and Mr. Wells upon the other, there is such a contrast as cannot 4 be con sidered favorable to him. If they were non-producers, what has he produced? Nothing which is esteem ed by his - own countrymen. The praise of the New York correspond ent of thei,ondon limes : and the ap proval of the Cobden Club do not elevate our Special Cocomissiciner to such a niche of fame that he can look do*n upon the great statesmen who gave form and character to our re-' I pnblidan institutions. 260-The new shops of the Penn sylvauia, railroad, Bow in course of construction at Altoona, it is - stated cover an area of twenty acres, - and comprise an iron Machine shop, a,! planing emill, a blaclunaithshop; inet work shop,' and three7(tuari4, round brick building, for the repair of freight cars,. eighty 'of which, en& be rebvalt at the sane time.

The principal strength of the Papal party Consists of :,the' , 150 bishops from the kingdom of aly, the 148 from the, Papal States; and the 120 titular bishops, for the most part , crested by the present Popo, who hate no cure, of souls and represent nobody but.themselves, or ratherlim who raised them from tho dust, and set. mitres upon their heads." A correspondent of the .Leipsic Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung estimates the number who will vote against the dogma at from 150 to 160, and says, "It is considered impossible " that the Pope should venture to "promulgate the dogma in a public " sitting in the face of, so largo a mi " nority, among whom Cardinals and " Bishops of the most civilized Oath "olio ccrantries are to be found." Sustained in his ambitions views by a large majority of the Council, the Pope, we imagine, will pay very-little attention to the views of the minority, however respectable it may be in point of numbers and character. THE OHIO DEHOCRACT. The Democracy of the Buckeye State seem, like their brethren else where, to be troubled. with a little discord in the ranks. The kite State Convention, as a measure of policy, evaded the repudiation question, al though it is well known that two thirds- of the delegates secretly favor ed the doctrine, and .that . quite as large a proportion of the party open ly advocate it. On this and 'other qnestions which the Convention ,dirank from touching, the local De iniocracy are declaring their opin ions boldly in their county conven tions. The " unterrified " of Mercer county held a county convention on the 11th instant, at which they liter ally kicked to'pieces the State plat form, and constructed ono for them selves of entirely different planks. How the Matter will be reconciled, or whether it can be reconciled at all, remains to be seen. The Mercer county Democrats take their stand on these two emphatic and unambig uous resolutions: - 1. That the so-called war debt is a fraud and a swindle, and was created under false pretenses and in- viola tion of the Constitution; we are, therefore, uncompromisingy infayor Of REPIIDISTMG the whole of (he bonded war debt of the United States. 2. That we are unalterably oppos ed to negro citizenship and negro suffrage; that the fifteenth amend ment to the Constitution of the Unit ed States was forced upon the people by trickery and fraud, and against their well known wishes, and is there fore illegal, void and of no 'binding force whatever. 131"POIVTANy BILL 'lit THE IrIROINiA LEOISLATTIE. —The citiXeris of Virst'n ia have been for some months exer cised over the fate of the bill in the their Legislature concerning votes upon shares in corporations.
