AN OBJECTIONABLE STATE TAX.
This paper has several times urged the
repeal of the Income Tax imposed by the
United States Government, and its remarks
on the subject have been commended by
various correspondents. There is another
tax, imposed by the State of Pennsylvania,
'which ought to be repealed. That is the two
per cent. tax on emoluments from office. This
is felt, to be oppressive upon clerks and other
persons employed by corporations, who are
barely able to eke out a living from their
moderate salaries, which, moreover, are taxed
also by the Federal Government.. The State
tax also operates unfairly, as it applies only
to persons holding what are technically
called offices under the State or municipal
gOvernments or under corporations. Salaries
in mercantile, manufacturing or other estab
lishments, not incorporated, are not taxed.
The State of Pennsylvania is now rich
-enough to do away with many of the taxes
imposed when the debt was heavy and the
revenue small, and the Legislature would do
well to revise the whole of the tax laws and
abolish most of them. The collateral inheri
twee taxisne that has driven -- many good
citizens into other States, and it ought to be
abolished; but of this we may speak more at
length on another occasion. The leg. on
emoluments from office is, however, ono that
calls for immediate action. It is oppressive
to many excellent citizens who .have but
Vaulted means, and there is no reason why
(heir bard-earned wages should be levied upon
by the State any more than the profits of
each individual from his private business. It
is earnestly hoped that before the Legislature
adjourns this and some other taxes,unworthy
' of the great and rich State of Pennsylvania,
will be abolished.
THE ADRIISNION OF ALARARIA.
Upon the motion of Mr. Stevens, the b
for the admission of Alabama was yesterday
recommitted. This is an excellent move,
and in strict accordance with the general
wish which has been freely expressed in all
parts of the country. The objection to the
bill is a very simple one. The law which
piovided for the adoption of the new Con
stitution expressly required that a majority of
the whole number of registered voters should
signify their approval of the instrument, at
the polls. This provision unquestionably
allowed the Constitution to be defeated
by the default of any number of
voters to vote at all, if the
number who thus refrained from voting was
sufficient to keep the majority at the election
below one-half of the whole number of regis
ters d voters. This policy was resorted to,
and although there was MI overwhelming vote
thousand less than a majority of the whole
registered vote.
The bill which was yesterday recommitted
bad all the character of an ex post facto law,
and provided for the admission of Alabama
upon a new basis, which certainly over-rode'
the letter, if not the spirit, of the law under
which the election was held. We are
glad that the bill has gone back to
the Committee. There is no doubt that the
most glaring frauds were resorted to to pre
vent the adoption of the Constitution. There
is no doubt that thousands of freedmen wore
prevented,by threats and other violent means,
from voting. But it is absolutely clear that
the people of Alabama had au opportunity
offered them by _Covress of rejecting the
Constitution, by staying away from the polls,
and that they defeated it by the . means which
Congress had most unwisely placed in their
power. There is no doubt that it is very
desirable to get Alabama and the other
States back into the Union. It is
not so important as a party measure as the
lisopperheada would have the people .belteve,
for the Presidential election is secured to the
Republican party, without a single vote from
the South. But the restoration of these
States is essential to, the resumption of na
tional quietness and prosperity and progress.
The rebellion is still cursing the country with
o._......_lettlimatafruiti; awl:the present disturbed
condition of affairs must all be laid at the doors
of those who plunged us into the war which
Deftthese ten States wrecked as
they now are. But we would
Nave the reconatruction of these
shattered frameoworks of Governments done
fairly and thoroughly, even if it must be done
idowly and expensively. The remedy for the
*suds sod intituidationshy which the Consti
• Vital of Alabama was defeated is in a new
ehetion under a new law, and not in a new
law which is to be applied to a past election.
Mr. Stevens flowed his sturdy honesty in the
lbw remake with which he prefaced the
Withdrawal of the bill, and his action will
meet the c,ordial approval of all who value

To any citizen who is familiar with the festive occasion when the weather is regarded
subject„the list of assessments on real es- as seasonable.
tate, published in the Burnam yesterday,
furnishes very decided evidence of the pro-
gress of the city, particularly in respect to
the enhancement in the value of real property.
There is scarcely a property mentioned in the
list which has not been more than trebled in
value within the last twenty years. This in
crease in worth is, of course, to be attributed
to two causes; first, the improvements that
have been put Upon the property, and se
condly to the general advance in the value
of real estate incident to the growth and in
creased prosperity of the city. On Chestnut
street there are many squares where
but very few buildings stand
that were in existence a score of
years ago; while in other squares there is
not a single structure standing that tact the
eye of the Philadelphian in 1818. In one
square—the north side of Chestnut between
Sixth and Seventh streets—there is not a
building that is more than sixteen years old.
These improvements have substituted brick
for-wood, and iren,_marble and brown stone
for brick. A glance at the list published in
these columns yesterday proVes the facts
which we set firth. The Corn Exchange
Bank, at the corner of Chestnut and Second
streets, occupies the site of two old buildings
that within fifteen years were scarcely worth
one-fourth the sum for which the banking
house is now assessed. The westward march
of business is leaving this locality in the back
ground, and there is little or no ad
vance in the value of real estate
there. It is the hand of improvement
aided by capital that has effected this differ
ence in values. The Bank of Commerce, at
the corner: of • Strawberry street, stands
upon a igiot which scarcely 'more than
twenty years ago was covered with frame
shanties. The tasteful Bank of North
America has taken the place of an antiquated
dwelling which for many years did service as
a banking-house for this venerable institu
tion. So it is with the Farmers' and Me
chanics' Bank, which transacted its business
in the ancient dwelling,of Robert Morris until
fourteen or fifteen years ago,w hen the present
beautiful white marble structure was erected
for its use. The First National Bank has
scarcely got warm in its massive granite
banking-house, which is assessed at $220,000,
a sum that is certainly fully thrice what the
effete hotel which it succeeded would have
been valued at by discreet assessors.
Leaving banking houses and taking a stride
further westward,we find abundant evidences
of how values have been increased by capital,
taste and labor. Less than fourteen years
ago,where:the Continental Hotel now stands, -
there stood a temporary Wilding that was
used as a theatre, that would not have made
a very substantial figure on the assessors'
books were it still in existence. The confla
gration of July, 1851, swept away the theatre
and the Chinese Museum and many of the
old-fashioned structures east ot both, and how
the property has been improved since that
time is apparent to everybody who passes
along Chestnut street. These improvements
have added three-quarters of a million to the
taxable value of the property in that single
square. ,A little further west we find where
three stores)that are taxed on 4.400,000, have
ithin s iar years taken the place of one
dull oir tinsion. -
On Broad street, the Academy of Music,
the Union - League house and Horticultural
Hall stand on lots that were entirely unim
proved until withinfew years, and these
three buildings alone lta.
add nearly half a million
of dollars to the value of the taxable property
of the city. We have selected these few
marked instances for comment, because the
properties referred to are in the central part
of the city, and where they best illustrate the
importance of liberal expenditures of capital
ais a means of rendering the city attractive,
increasing its prosperity, and adding to the
public revenue. It is not necessary to refer
at length to the thousands of improvements
that have been made through private enter
prise and liberality in all parts of the city,
nor to the miles of handsome dwellings that
have been added to its bounds. These things
and their importance are self-evident.
__Th. e . peop i e ., c ,f_phils.dophisomtate
ago, would have deemed the present average
valuation of property throughout the city
fabulous, if any prophet in-- real estate had
foretold what ground and houses would have
been worth in 1868. The Philadelphian of
1888 will deem many of the values on pro
perty, as they are fixed at present, absurd,
when looked at in the light of his own era.
These results are due to capital, enterprise,
skill and labor. All the rest of these good
things naturally follow in the wake of the
first. Our usury laws drive much capital
from our own city to New York where capi
ta yields seven per cent. interest. The col- •
lateral inheritance tax is another blind device
to drive capital from our own city and State.
Wise legislation could do muoh for our
future prosperity; thus far Philadelphia has
been compelled to advance in despite of
legislation.
A reporter for a morning paper, in his ac
count of the anniversary of the patron Saint
of Ireland, says: "St. Patrick's day will be
memorable as breaking the ancient,amitime
honored custom of introducing itself with
rain and storm, and instead, presenting itself.
in 1868 with smiles rather than tears. The
day was a delightful one, the air being balmy
and spring -like, and giving all a foretaste of
summer, very grateful after the cheerless and
„dseari_winter." TN -writer , of this -para
graph must *Lye dined With some of the ad
mirers of the Irish Saint, and become - a' little
beWildered as to the real condition of things

weather certainly was warm, although the
atmosphere - was rather sultry and - oppressive
than "balmy and spring -like." But the after
noon brought forth a condition of things that
WOO , worthy of the moistest days of the Saint.
At about five o'clock a heavy storm set in,
and while the rain came down in torrents, the
thunder boomed loudly and the lightning
flashed brightly. Night set in cold, bluster

Shelah a,t, midnight, it was in the midst of a

The Trouble In Tennessee.
gspeetai neepsteh to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
Wetunsserox, March 18.—A despatch was scot
to Gov. Brownlow of Tennessee, asking him
whether, in his opinion, more troops were
needed there 3n anticipation of trouble, Last
night Secretary Stauton received a telegram from
Lim stating that although the rebels
were secretly arming with the intention
to get possession of the Capitol and State
archives, he was fully prepared to take care of
them with the State raUtta, and it would not, in
Lie opinion, be necessary to call upon General
Thomas for troops. This despatch intimated
that if those pereone attempted to violate the law
and cause bloodshed, that an example would be
made of their leaders not soon to be forgotten.
The Flood In New York State.
♦<4lpeeial Derpattl to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
Seitexecr•nur, N. Y., March 18.—Thu Mohawk
river is rising rapidly at this point, and the Ice is
moving out. No trains have run over the Cen
tral railroad for about ?.1 hours. There is re
ported to be seven miles of ice on the Central
track near Spraker's Basin station. The hotels
are crowded to excess on account of the passen
gers not being able to reach their destination.
AL3IANY, March 18.—As was announced yo -
terday morning, the movement of the ice in the
river did no damage to the vessels in the basin.
Immense fields of it passed over the pier into the
rapper basin, Wittig it up entirely, but the old, di
lapidated Columbia Street bridge resisted the
pressure, and no doubt saved many boats from
destruction. When the immense ice dam be
tween Bath and the railroad bridge gave way and
was hurled agaliast the stone
abutments supporting that structure, it
trembled in every timber, and it was
feared that portions of dt would be carried away.
An estimate of the terrine power of this great
body of ice can be formed when It is known
that the heavy stone abutment next west of the
draw was actually moved bodily a distance of
three inches. Between Schenectady and St.
Johnseille the Central Railroad was submerged
at different points and no trains could be run
over the road. In many places large bodies of
foe obstructed the tracks. At 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon seven trains were de
tained at Palatine bridge, fifty miles west
of the city. The first train for New York yester
day morning, by way of the Hodson River Rail-
road, after proctedine as far as Cresticton, was
compelled to return, as the tracks were covered
with ice and water to the depth of several feet.
No trains from the south came over the road
after midnight on Monday. Passengers for the
south were sent by the Harlem Railroad.
lleusos, March 18.—The water was so high at
Btnyveeant yesterday that but little work could
be done toward clearing the Iludson River
Itallroad track, hut a telegram received
kom the above place this morning gives
She information that the water has receded to an
extent that will enable the work to be proiectiVel
with effect to-day. Superintendent Toucey
/amine at Bthyvesant, and has employed all the
laborers be could obtain to assist In getting the
track in running order. ' The morning express
down,on the Harlem Railroad, bad seven coaches,
each one being crowded with passengers, and
every train thereafter had equally well filled ears.
About three P. 31. yesterday, a way freight train
was made up at this cityand proceeded to rough
licensee this morning. The C. 15 train on the
lindson and Boston Railroad took but the pan

The Waiiraissium Purchase.
iSpecial Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
WAHIIII(GTON, March 18.—There WAS a full
meeting of the Rouse Committee on Foreign
.A,irs this morning, to consider the bill appro
priating money for the purchase of Wairussia. A
very spicy and animated debate ensued, of
nearly two hours' duration. General Banks
presented a report in favor of the ap
propriation, maintaining that as the treaty
bad been solemnly made by the Executive
Department, and in the same spirit ratified by
the Smite, it was the; duty of Congress to
make at once the necessary appropriation, with
out hesitancy or asking any questions. General
Washbttrne, of Wisconsin, presented another re
port, taking the opposite view from that of Gen
eral Banks, and asserting that the whole question
-was one for Congress-to decide,and that the pur
chase could not prove beneficial to this country,
and such expenditure was unwise in the preeent
condition of affairs. Without coming to any vote,
the entire subject was informally laid over until
the first Tuesday in May next, when it will
be brought up for final action.
The meeting to-day demonstrated the fact that
there was more opposition to the purchase than
has been expected, and there is authority for say
ing that when this subject comes up again: a
third report will be laid before the Committee,
opposing the purchase, but not in such strong
language as that of Gen. Washburn°.

gation into the General Conference whenever that body
Rhea he fully satires d that a mejority of our lab c desire
it. And should the General Conference , - at ita approach
big session be in doubt as to the mind of the church, then
in that case we request the said General Conference to
refer the question to the vote of the Anneal Conferences
and to the male membership of the church."
A motion was made to adopt the report, and on the
adoption considerable diseusfion arose. Rev. James
Cunx,inghani spoke rgainst the adoption of the report,
and, to a considerable degree, opposed the general gees
fon of Lay delegation, tyling it a aurae-coated prepara
tion. Of ely intly intend el to cover up the great principle;
but the adoi tire of this reseletion would commit the
Conference to the adoption of the question of Lay dele

Gov. Crawford, of Kansis, left Topeka yester
day for New York.to sell the State bonds author
ized by the Legislature, amounting to $270,000.
Much excitement was caused at Topeka yester
day by the discovery that the store of E. Levi,
set on fire, contained, only $9OO worth of goods,
while there was on it $25000 insurance.
The store was under the State and

.
At the close et hts. retnarks,.-31.ri-Woodward
(Pa.) asked him whether there was a republican
government in Pennsylvania?
Mr. Broomall replied that if his colleague had
hard bis remarks he could have answered the
question for lilniselt by saying that in that par
ticular Pennsylvania had not had a republican
government since 1838.
Mr. Woodward asked lu what particular.
Mr. Bi uordall replied that. before 1838 there
was no hereditary disfranchisement in Pennsyl
vania; but now there was, and he meant to say
that hereditary disfranchisement was anti-repub,
Bean.
Mr. Woodward asked Whether his colleague-
Watt eo ill-read in the law reports of hia own State
as not to know that the Supremo Court of Penn
sylvania had decided that under the constitu
tion of 1700 ,the word "freeman" meant "white
freeman," an that the introduction of the word
white into the constitution of 1837 did not alter
in (fleet the constitution a particle. .

[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Dulletto3
'lVasrumrrozr, March 18.--After the reading of
thc journal to-day the House took up the bill to
guarantee to the several States of the Union a re
publican form ofgovernment. Mr. Broomall took
the floor in support of it. He was followed by
Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania, in opposi
tion, who in turn was succeeded by Mr. Knott,
of Kentucky, who is now speakin. It is
understood that Thaddeus Stevens,who has been
brought into the hall, extremely weak and look
ing unusually pale, will speak for a few minutes
from the Clerk's desk, where he is sitting. It is
expected that this effort will probably be the last
speech Mr. Stevens will be able to deliver, and
many of his friends have counselled him against
speaking.tollay.
Mr. Stevens took the floor at 3 o'clock to speak
on the pending bill, but after a ten minutes
effort, which was listened to closely, he was com
pelled to suspend, and ask the Clerk of the House
to read his remarks. He appeared to be much
exhausted by his trial to speak.

WASIIINGTON, March 18.—There is considera
ble talk in Congressional circles to-day over the
report made by Mr. Van Wyek op the whisky
frauds. It appears that ho was entrusted with
this labor by the Retrenchment Committee, and
without any authority from them or making
the sub-report to them, he laid his
report before the House. Many 'members
of the Committee are greatly exercised
over it, especially those who represent the
Senate, and they are indignant that the report
was not first made to the entire committee. They
wish it understood that it is not the report of
the Retrenchment Committee proper, bat merely
that of one of its members.
It is very probable that the attention of Con
gress will be called to the conduct of Mr. Van
Wyck, and that some action will be had In the
matter. Some members talk very freely of cen
trality him, although admitting that the expose
made In the report is perfectly just.
