Tintg — nfOOME TAX :&GAIN.
A : few days ago we printed a communication
fro 0 Correspondent defending the. Income
Tax; declaring, however, that we differed from
him,; objection* to,,Enc,b o ta4, o.rl general
principles, have often been presented in 'these
eolovro i and some , of the defects of the exist
ing.. Jaw imposing it have been pointed
out. but there is 'still a great deal more to
be said about , it. - We,do - ; not adrolt that the
tax is, an equitable one, and we know that,
even' if it were' so, it could never be fairly col
liectfd. On general principles it is , wrong, 'for
these,-amonginany other. reasons: It is in
quisitorial,
and,it, exposes to the public, and to
competitors or enemies, secrets concerning a
man's business that even the purest and most
honest shrinks- from divulging; it allows a
man, not the purest and most honest, to evade
It, by becoming his own assessor, and paying
no - tax, Or one much less than
another man, much poorer, has to
pay ; it is unequal in ' its operation,
and, must always be so; but it is especially un
equal wider the enactments of our Congress.
These who should pay an Income tax, when
one is imposed, may be classed as follows :
1. Active business men, engaged in com
merce, manufactures, or a prosperous profes
sional practice.
2. Those whose incomes are derived from
investments in corporation stocks, or in pro
ductive real estate.
3. Those who are dependent on 'Salaries, or
the *ages of their daily labor.
4. Those who possess,,by inheritanie
chase; large':
estates' in unimproved property,
but who, wait till neighbors, more energetic and
enterprising, shall improve their .property so as
to enhance the value of all around it.
Under our existing laws, the first of these
three classes pay, or are expected to pay, the
income tax: People of the fourth class do
not pay it, and cannot legally be made to pay
it. And yet they, above all the other classes,
should pay taxes' to support the government,
bectise. they grow rich from sources, hot
beneficial to .the community in._general, and
they contribute nothing to the general good.
The act of Congress relating to the income tax
declares that no profits on real estate shall be
considered "income" unless derived from
property purchased within two' years, thus de
signedly 'exempting the class we' refer to from
this tax: For a man may buy real estate, hold
it two,,vears, sell at an advanced rate, buy other
property with the proceeds, and go through the
same process ad infinitum, and never pay a
penny of income tax on his gains thus derived,
even if they amount to millions.
A few cases may be presented , as examples
of the inequality and injustice of the Income
Tax under our laws:
lir. A. is worth '51,000,000, invested say,
600,000 in unimproved real estate ; $300,000 in
real estate rented and yielding,say,7l per cent.,
and $lOO,OOO in the dwelling he occupies. He
makes up his income retern as fellows :
71 per cent. on rented Real Estate

corporations,s3oo,ooo in productive real estate,
and $lOO,OOO in his dwelling house. He re
turns his income thus

From Real Estate 22,500

Deduct :

If it is objected that in these two cases B.'s
income is much the greater, the reply may be
made that . A.'s; th - fougkrtlreadvaiicing - value
• real estate, is really the greater, and by buying
and selling every two years, he can make a
succession of fortunes and never pay a cent of
tax on them. A few other examples may be
presented. !Ir. C. owns the house he lives in,
worth say $25,000, and has an income from
business or real estate of $3,000. He, returns
such income, deducts the $l,OOO allowed, and
$5OO for repairs and city taxes, and pays the
Income Tax of $75, on $1,500. Mr. D., who
owns no property, has an income of $3,000
from business or salary. He deducts the $l,OOO
allowed, and $5OO for house rent, and pays the
$75 'tax on a balance of sl,soo—precisely
what is paid by his neighbor who owns a
$25,000 house.
Mr. E. owns his, residence worth $lO,OOO,
has real estate worth $lO,OOO, rented at 71 per
cent., and owns 6 per cent. bonds amounting
to slo,ooo—in all $30,000. Ile makes up his
income return thus: From rents, $750; in
terest on bonds, $600; total, $1,350. Deduct
the allowance, $1,000; taxes and repairs, $400;
total, $1,400 ; and Mr. E. has no income tax to
pay. But his neighbor, Mr. F., who owns the
same amount, $lO,OOO, but, bas it all in corpo
ration bonds, and has au income of only $6OO,
is compelled to pay a tax of $3O, which the cor
porations retain for the Government. If It is
mid that the corporation pays the tax, we
reply that this is only where it is
so stipulated, and only in the case
of bonds issued within the last
!seven years. If the investment is in
fucks, the corporation takes the tax from the
refits, so that it really comes , out of the
poeltets of the stockholders. The truth Is that
the Income Tax bears most heavily upon men
in active business, who are producers and bene
factors of the commundy, and most lightly
upon the Indolent, selfish and useless drones.
*any other illustrations might be given to
show the unfairness of the tax, but we shall
rest here at present, and recur to the subject
Aga*,
00ABD OF 5C,11,00.14 lIMIVICROLLERS. •
There is a bill now before the Legislature,
Whose_ tendency, if not. its design, is to ''lower
the 'standard, Of education in the public schools
`of Philadelphia; by providing for the admission
of a grade of , men Into the Board", of Ocm-,
trallera of the. Piiblic; Schools; less • competent
to discharge the important duties of the position
than the least competent of those who now
occupy it. ' •
The bill now before the Legislature pro-'
'poses to abolish• the present Board of Con
, trollers, and to, make these officers directly
'elective by the .people, ,instead of being ap•
pdinted by the Courts, as is now 'done. That
this measure is intended to 'carry Out the pri
vate:schemes of some "ring," in the Board or
out 'of it, there can be very little doubt. There
is certainly tio public demand for this tlis 7
organization of the existing system,,
and no good reason to believe that the cause
of education would be in any way benefitted
by throwing this additional prize into•the vor
tex of the annual struggle for lucrative or popu
lar Positions. • For, while the office 'of School
Controller has no compensation attached to it
by law, and brings no pecuniary. advantage, to
any honest incumbent of it,there is an amount
of patronage about it,in its contracts for schools
houses, text-books, &c., which may readily be
so manipulated as to make the apparently gra-,
tuitons service very interesting and valuable to'
a man corruptly disposed. Whether the present
Board contains any such. men or not we are
not ' prepared to, say. So far as our own
knowledge of its personnel goes„it is liable to,
nd such suspicion.
The character of the appointing power is
such that, if dishonest men get into the Beard;
it' san accidental thing. Our judiciary, as a'
body, is too pure to put any man in place,
knowing or suspecting him to be dishonest:
And until we can get some elevation "of the
general tone of our popular elections; until
the people will make those elections, their own
highest ditty and business; 'until rings and
cliques afehroken up, and men are nominated
for office because the people wish to be served
by them, and not because they wish to make
the people their servants and toots; or until .
there is any good reason to fear that the courts
are making corrupt appointments; until all or
some of these things come US pass : the best
thing that can possibly be done with the Board
of. School Controllers islo let it alone. •
•It must be' admitted that, even Under
the present system, not a few per
sons • have been made School - Controllers
whose places could be well filled with
more competent Men. Comparatively little
regard has been paid by some of the. judges to.
the intellectual qualifications of their appoin
tees, and it cannot but have a depressing effect
upon the teachers and pupils of Our. schools to
be brought into close and frequent intercourse
with official supervisors who are themselves,
wholly or in a great measure, uneducated
men. And yet we have heard addresses made
before schools of advanced pupils, by men who
hold the control of the whole public education'
of Philadelphia, that have made our, blood run .
cold with the barbarism .of their bad.
English ; and the instances are, ,by no
means, very rare. • But the only argu
ment to be drawn from this unpleasant
fad is in favor and not against the present
system, since it must be admitted that if our
learned judges have occasionally put men into
the control of our public schools who cannot
speak three consecutive sentences grammati,
catty, it would become the rule and not the ex
ception, were this disorganizing change to be
made, that is now proposed at HarrisbUrg.
Our School Controllers should be as rigidly se
lected for their intellectual qualities as for their
moral characters, and we beg to call the atten
tion of our judges to thiS necessity. But be
cause we have, here and there, members of the
Board of Controllers who should be upon the
benches rather than upon the platforms of our
public schools, would be a miserably poor ar
gument for offering that premium to dishonest
ignorance which is held out by the unwise 'and
uncalled-for legislation now proposed.

The weakest of all the weak arguments
against the erection of the public buildings on
Independence Square is that which Mr. Huhn
brought forward, recently, when be put in his
plea for the sacredness" of the ground on
which it is proposed to build. The best answer
to this so-called argument may be given some
what after the following fashion :
Independence Square never was
sacred ground. A sacred building stands on
one! edge of it, which the TroposedPlan will
restore to its original unity.
Second—lndependence Square has been
desecrated for generations past, by being put to
all manner of common and - profane uses;
trodden down of the Gentiles, until it presents
neither the form nor suggestion of any sacred
ness. •

•• • • $7,200
.... 1,000
• • $9,000
~. 149,500
Third—The erection of our Temple of Law
and Justice upon this desolate common, and
the removal of the ugly buildings that now
deform and degrade Independence Hall will
'consecrate this now profaned ground to its
highest and best use and preserve it forever
from any desecration. •
The plan of the Building Commission con
templates the restoration and preservation of
Independence Hall, and the plea that any
sacred tradition is to be intruded upon by the
erection of the City Hall at the opposite side of
the Square, is as unfounded as the assertion
that the buildings will require ten millions of
dollars, or twenty years in their erection. •
We expressed our wonderment,' recently,
that five members of the Finance Committee
of Councils bad been found to oppose the ap
propriation for music in the public schools.
We learn that Mr. liodgdon advanced the ar
gument that Music is a luxury, and that we
have no money to spend on luxuries. Sup
pose we grant that Music is a luxury? •But
grammar is evidently a luxury, too. A man
can grow - rich and distinguished in public life
without the aid of grammar. Let us, there
fore, rule grammar out of the schools. A good
many people consider education, in the general,
a luxury. Let ns abolish education. •• Gas is a
luxury. Let us go back to the tallowdips of our
ancestors. Newspapers are a luxury. Down
with the newspapers! Shall we say that
even Select ,Councilmen may sometimes be
come a luxury ? Possibly that would be going
too far.
The truth is that Music is only a luxury in
the same sense that all other humanizing, re
lining, elevating and enlarging mental attain-

ents are luxuries, and the spirit that would
thhveit out of our public schools may be born
don honest rotten on the general subject of
ptiblie expenditure; but it is dreadfully behind
the 'times, and cannot be sustained either by
the force of abstract logic, by the consideration
of expediency,, or by the experience of the
educational systems of Any part of the present
civilized world. " ' • ,
The bill which passed the Senate a fow days
ago, aiiowiog ! writs of error, in Murder and
manslaughter' .oases; so that the SuPretne
Court of rthb State, ' Shakreview the evidence
as' well as"thO law,artd order a new trial wbeiv
eiiher evidence or law, have been violated in
the verdict of thelower court, is.a stop toward
a very important reforin. The paint has been
'made againgt, this very excellent improvement
'in our administration of criminal law, that it is
r,r, post facto in , its application to the case of
Dr. Schosppe. , This is, true, should the Su
preme Court defer_ the hearing: set dOwn for
next Week, until the passage . of this bill is
.determined.. But it is scarcely a good
reason for opposing " the • bill itself.
We do not believe that the Schoeppe case, if
fairly dealt with, needs any additional re
inforcement of this kind. There is no proper
ground for his execution, and it would be far
better if the Governor and the AttorneY-Gen
eral would dispose of it upon the broad, sim
ple ground of the strong doubt that has
arisen as to the fact of any murder having
been committed, and:the admitted and proved
weakness and insufficiency of the evidence on
which conviction was obtained. But r such a
reform as this bill proposes is just and humane,
and will go far to guard against those fatal
errors which have occasionally been made, and
which will certainly , ne made ;if. the ,sentence of
death is executed upon Dr. Paul Schoeppe.
The cable telegrams says that "the Arch
duchess Elizabeth, sister of-the Emperor, of
Austria, has fled to America, having embarked
at Hamburg." There - must be some ,mistake
in this. The Emperor of Austria has no sister,
solar•as can ,be discovered from the Gotha
Almanac; which is always correct in these
matters. • The only Austrian' princess named
EliMbeth, that is mentioned, is the daughter of
the late Archduke Joseph, who was born Jan
uary, 1831, married,in 1847
_to the Archduke
Ferdinand d'Este, left a widow in 1849, and
married again, , in 1854, to the Archduke
Charles-Ferdinand, a
„cousin of the Empenjr.
This May be the fugitive princess, but the
cause of her flight to America cannot be ex
plained until further news is redeived.

SPEECH OF O'OV. WARMOUTIL
[Correspondence of the Asecociatiql Pruil
}law ORLEANS, Feb. 3.—The committee ap
pointed by the citizens' meeting in Lafayette
square on Monday night, waited on Governor
Wartnouth yesterday afternoon and pre
sented the resolutions adopted at the meeting.
Governor Warmouth, in reply, said that, he
was glad, personally, to see them, but de
sired, however, to say something relative to
that meeting, in justice to himself and the
Government be represented. He stated that
be had vetoed a great many bills making sub.
sidles and grants to individuals and compa
nies, which in few instances
bad been passed over his veto ; that
there are many in the Legislature ignorant of
the manipulations of the lobbyists ; men who
bad been recently- - enfranchised: They have
to be taught and instructed. I think, gentle
.men, that if. you will give me the support and
assistance which you ought to give from your
standing in this community. we shall be able
to restrain these people from running into the
excesses complained of in these resolutions.
Let me make one complaint against you, gen
tlemen, as the representatives of those in
•wbose behalf you appear. You charge the
Legislature :with passing corruptly many bills
looking to the personal aggrandizement of
individuals and corporations.
Let me suggest to you that these individuals
and corporations are your very be,st people.
For instance, this Bank bill that is being lob
bied through the Legislature now by the hard
est kind of work. We have been able to de
feat that bill twice in the Mouse ' and now
it is up again. Who are doing it ? Your Bank
Presidents. The best people of the city of
New Orleans are crowding the lobbies of the
Legislature, ,contintially whispering bribes
into these men's ears, 'to pass this measure.
How are we to defend the. State against the
intervention of these people, who are potent
in their influence in this community?
The Governor went on at length, making
disclosures as to bow v,arions measures were
engineered through the Legislature by these
same good citizens, for signing which he had
been offered fifty thousand dollars by ong
party; and in addition Mayor Conway, of this
city, bad- offered. him any consideration to
sign it. The bill was vetoed. .The bill here
referred to Wakilhe five million gold bond bill
for redeeming 7the city money. Ho was also
o f fere d soomo to sign the Nicolson' pavement
bill which he vetoed.
The Governor complained of the refusal of
the leading men of the . State to counsel with
him, although he bad invited them to , do so,
and said: I make this complaint to you as - an
individual; I make it as a citizen of Louisiana
I came here to settle among you, cud by acci
dent I have been elevated - to the position ; I
now occupy t i and if you and the twenty-111'7e
hun dred e zens who -were present at the
meeting which sent you here would only give
their 'support to me and the honest members
of the Legislature, there will be no difficulty
in restraining improvident legislation. I think
I have a right to askft, and if you will give it,
I assure you that maiy of the evils complained
of will be avoided. '
In the course of his remarks the Governor
stated that Auditor Wickliff had robbed the
State of half a million of dollars. He said, in
conclusion, that it was his, purpose to admin
ister the affairs of the government of the State
be the best of his ability for the interest and
welfare of the people, and he invited the as
sistance and co-operation of all good citizens.

Senator Sherman was amended by Senator 6000.16 r 60
that the West sod South shall have banking privileges
to thoextont of sixty-five millions of national currency,
tic. additional twenty millions to be drawn from the .
North 1111 Ear( by a curtailment of the capital of the
institutions at present existing in the latter sections. In
this lortn the 101 l has passed the nnper house. An effort
wan Math' in the Goid Room to get up an excitement on
:that threatens to he a phone of expansion, hut the
speculators would hot et,teh the' excitement. and the
price remained steady- The gold market is slow to re
spond, for the reason that the bill has yet to pass the
lice er house, and it is there certain of veer material
amendment. it ruirrejection altogether.
Hoidens of gold paid fiVa, to seven per cent, to have
their halances carried over. The Hausa took out
40 in specie. The other steamers had no consignment.
The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol
lows :

Foreign exchange was steady in the forenoon, but
after the steamers became dull, and in the presence of a
better supple of cotton bills declined an eighth per cent.

The money market was abundantly supplied at five to
six per cent. on the various 'classes of collaterals. Ex
cept lons occurred at four and seven per cent. The rates
of discount in commercial paper have drawn quite close
together, in consequence of the limited supply and the
strong demand. Prime double names era cur
rent at eeven to eight per cent; Nothing further trans
pired today with reference to the alleged musnension of
the firm of jewelry dealers on Broadway, and it is con
jectured that they have overcome the temporary eznbar
