His eyes are gray, and being small, are sharp and

CURIOSITIES OF TAXATION.
There are some very peculiar fluctuations no
ticeable in the returns made to the assessors of
internal revenue; and the enormous differences
in the income of one year over another are
startling commentaries on the uncertainties of
business. One man in New York who had no
property to speak of in 1883 returns an income of
$04,000 in 1564. Ile has evidently been success
ful in oil orstocka. One large mercantile house
made sales to the amount of forty-two millions
of dollars, and the leading partner's income was
six hundred thousand dollars. A. T. Stewart in
1884., made sales to the amount of thirty-nine
million, on which he made only $300,000. In
1803 the same merchant returned an income of
one million eight hundred thousand dollars.
These facts are remarkable, not only as show
ing the immense business transactions, but also
as evidence of the dizzy changes to which co
lossal fortunes are liable. Some of these mer
chants no doubt have acquired their wealth In
the legitimate channel of trade. For many years
they have shown rare ability and great discrim
ination in mancetivering heavy stocks of goods,
as a competent general handles hundreds of
thousands ormert Bat on the ocean where sail
the ships of these merchant princes multitudes
of smaller craft meet shipwreck every day. Then
again there are seeming argosies laden with
Bilks and pearls, fair to the sight but dangerous
on trial, and are overwhelmed at the first gale.
There is something unhealthy and feverish In the
Idea of a man's going into an income of eighty
thousand dollars in a single year; and the result
of such fortunes generally proves It to be true
that real wealth is best acquired by patient In
dustry.
The Treasury of the United States has re
ceived some assistance in this war from many a
golden bubble, shining in the morning sun, but
for a moment; Adventurers in pursuit of an heir
ess, men ambitious of social position, fast young
blades who dasire to astonish the world, or to
effect loans On . doubtful securities, have return
ed larger incomes and paid taxes accordingly.
The fellow Who dealt in lard and who slipped
off to Europe with a half million of other peo
ple's property, was taxed for an Income of $15,-
000 In 1863, and for twice as much in 1864; and
this was part of the false foundation on which
he built up his credit. Such things are by no
means new, btO the tax-collector brings them
before us in a novel form, and people are there
by led to wonder and moralize.

JAY COOSA THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT.
Mr. Jay Cooke en in*erpriiintind successful
Phibtdelphla banker, bas dials been one of
Abeinasteffickat negoMatorAetpublic securi
ties. Four years ngo,'when Pennsylvania State
slocirs'iveredown to 85,4te werketi and brought
them Rs) to par, and at that tate he obtained
throat:Lillian dollars , for thiState. for raising
and einipping her troops. When Um Secretary
of the'Treasury gave various bankers through
out the country commissions to negotiate his
firsticians, Mr. Cooke was always among the
most successfuL He infused a portion of his
own great energy into his sub-agents, and seem
ed to best understand how to present the claims
of the Government. to the people. When the
live-twenty loan 'was authorized, it was before
the public many months without attracting any
attention, and the total sales by the Government
were only about eighteen millions. The war
expenses were so vast that banks and bankers
wereno longer able to supply money in sufficient
amounts, and the Secretary of the Treasury was
compelled to adopt some plan for appealing di
rectly to the people to supply the means for sus
taining the Government. Popular loans had
never been tried, and their nature was not gen
endly'tinderstood. Capital was always sensitive,
and capitalists, large and small, were not only
to be told that there were five-twenty loans, on
the market, but were to be convinced that it
was the beat as well as the most patriotic invest
ment. Mr. Cooke's high character and previous
success induced the Secretary to appoint film
General Subscription Agent. The press and the
telegraph were immediately put in motion. A
large sum was spent in advertising, the distri
bution of a great variety of circulars and hand
bills, &A. the employment of travelers, and in
establishing sub-agencies throughout the loyal
stales. It has always been Mr. Cooke's policy to
have our loans taken at home, and he has never
solicited subscriptions abroad, believing that our
own people should have the advantage of the
interest. The result of Mr. Cooke's efforts for
Ave-twenties is well known. Under his agency,
dating about February int, 1863, and closing
January 22d, 1804, the loan was sold up to t,.514,-
780,500.
As gi,..st success always occasions Jealousy,
complaints of favoritism towards Mr. Cooke
were made against the Treasury Department,
which a special report to Congress proved to be
without the slightest foundation.
About this time the National Banking System
was established, and it was a part of the plan
that the National Banks should be the financial
agents of the Government While publicly ex
pressing the warmest gratitude to Mr. Cooke for
his past great and successful efforts, the Secreta
ry of the Treasury determined to try the experi
ment of placing the ten-forty loan through their
agency. In four months but eighty millions
were sold. On July 25th, 1844, the first series
of seven-thirties was offered through the same
channel, but, up to February Ist, 1865, a perkxl
of six months, the mica and payments to soldiers
amounted to only about one hundred and twen
ty millions. This rate of subscription tot being
sufficient to meet the public wants, it was deter
mined to return to Mr. Cooke, under whose
management the sale began to show an increase
within the first week, Ind in less than two
weeks averaged two millions a day. During the
first thirty days they reached one hundred
millions—an average of about four millions for
each working day. The first series was ex
hausted on the 30th of March, when the sale of
the second series of three hundred millions was
begun. This series was all sold on the 15th of
May, deducting Sundays and holidays, in the
wonderful short space of thirty-tax working
days—making an average of eight and ortodhird
millions per day. The sales of the third series
then commenced, hut, owing to the fact that the
Treasurer wag unable to deliver the notes, com
paratively little effort was made to influence sub
scriptions until June Ist, when deliveries were
advertised to begin.
Sales of Government loans under Mr. Cooke's
management as General Subscription Agent,
have been about thus
5.20 Bonds_
7.50 Notes_
$1,24,400,000
to say nothing of his earlier undertakings, or
the large amount of bonds taken by his firm at
the letting to the highest bidder. Although
other causes than Imperfect agencies retarded
the subscriptions•in the summer and autumn of
1864, it cannot be denied that their subsequent
success was chiefly from Mr. Cooke's energetic
direction. His efforts have certainly been as
unceasing and his wisdom, skill and energies
have certainly been taxed as much as those of
any commander in the field, and with results
not tins important He has been ably assisted
by his brother, Henry D. Cooke, and H. C.
Fahnestock—both partners in the firm of Jay
Cooke & Co,

Letter From Philadelphia.
PIIILADELPMA, Aug. 2nd, 1E65.
The contest for the leading Federal appointments
in this city, which has been carried on with much
spirit daring the past fortnight, terminated on Sat,
nrday in favor of the incumhents. Colonel Wsi. B.
Mosul!' has been honored by a re-appointment to
the office of Collector of the Port; E Bzeb ItlnrEn,
of Bradford county, is retained as Surveyor, and Dr.
Entrant) Wattacz, of Berke, as Naval Officer, while
C. A. WALBIODN is to serve us as Postmaster during
another period of four rears.
Asa general thing I believe three appointments
are in harmony with public sentiment, and eminent
ly just and proper. The gentlemen thus honored
are every way worthy, being fully up to the old Jet
tetanal= test of capability,i integrity, and fidelity to
duties severally entrusted to them. They also have
the additional advantage of experience to aid them
in serving both the Government and the people,
which is no small consideration. Why they should
have been met with opposition at all can only be ex
plained by saying that there wrrn persons ontalde
who simply wanted to "get in," and could perceive
no other way to accomplish their wishes but by
crowding somebody else out. To these men were
joined our tour Congressmen, each smarting under
some fancied grief, and big with wrath. They visit
ed the President In a body and " demanded " the
appointment of a new set of men ; and, as u to
clench their demand, Lb., declared they made it "In
the name of the people' of Philadelphia and of the
district in which the city is located. Well, an ap
peal was taken to the "pnople," particularly by
Colonel Thomas and his friend', with results far
different from what these gentlemen had represent
ed or anticipated. Find, the importers, almost in
a solid body, asked the re-appointment of Collector
Tunes.'The Corn Exchange Association, embody
ing the great mercantile influence of the city, met
and unanimously protested against any change.—
Then followed the verb's= committees of city and
ward political organizations, and the Union Leagues,
all in the same strain of protest. And, lastly, went
on to the President, from the citizens generally, Pe
titions and protests of the like import, by the bush
el, literally overwhelming with reproach these rec
reant Congressmen, and smothering them with dis
comfiture. Thus the victory was won, and Wil
dcats intermeddling rebuked. How much has bean
pined by these gentlemen will be apparent In the
future. You need not be surprised if more than one
of them should be left to chew the cad of disappoint
ment a year hence, should they then seek the hon
ors of re-election. There is wide-spread feeling of
indignation among all classes of the community
naiad their course, especially that ,towarda COL
TOMAS. Even the ladles entered into the contest
in his betel with a zeal scarcely to have been an
ticipated. the gallant and patriotic conduct in
thrice organizing troops at. his own expense, and
leading them to the field during the darkest of the
late rebellion, (while those who were his rivals and
contestants, were taking their ewe in splendid par
lors, or, perhaps, drilling a brief hour a day In the
" home guards,") Is not so soon forgotten. Ile has
made more personal and pecuniary sacrifices for the
maintenance of the Government than all of them put
together. I have no doubt that all he has received,
and all he may receive, from the Government, by
way of salary, will (all far short of covering the
sum of his personal contributions tothe noble cause
ofiserpetuating our faatitutioas.
The last of the Government Loans, authorized by
Congress, hats at length been taken, and the agency
here is closed for the present. The effect of it is to
cheapen " Greenbacks " and excite speculation.—
Stocks of all kinds have now a strong upward tenden

.Of course this affects the so-called values of all kinds
of merchandise, adversely to the interests of the
consumer. Our markets already (set the Influence.

Ma ElaTrott;—" Rome on the brain." What a
topic for discusaion, what a broad field for argu
ment. Row many to-day are canvassing and pro
pounding within themselves the gnat question,
and how many are disappointed in all their fond
hope -and bright prospects that they had laid up in
store for the future ! Mast bow many have been
disappointed. Battle scenes and the rough hard
ships of military life bad almost vanished from their
visions, When they looked forward to their joyous
prospects of the future, and when many are doomed
to remain still longer away from their homes and
firesides, and mingle with their brothers In arms.—
Still they must not think that this Government
looks with a partial eye upon any of his defenders,
Whether on land or on sea. But the interests of tbs
service demand that some must be kept; and those
who are the " lucky ones" must bear it with as good
a grace as possible, hoping a good time will come
soon. All the Ist and 2nd arm Sloops of War have

Senator Wilson's Sentiments
Ron. Henry Wilson, one or the leading members
of the United States Senate, is an address at a Fourth
of Jaly celebration at Washington, expressed hit,
dews on dealing with the rebels as follows
"I want the south to understand that their black
code and their black larws, and all they have done
to hold men In slavery, were abolished forever with
slavery Itself; and I serve here to-day a notice upon
them that I have prepared a bill—which I intend to
introduce, too, un the first dey ofithe next Congress
—for the personal liberty of every freedman on this
continent; and I want them to understood that I
belong to a class of men who are accustomed to
sleep on the field of victory—a class of men who
accept the doctrines of the New Testament, who ac
cept as the living faith of the North American Re
public, the Declaration of Independence—a class of
men who represent the principles of liberty, of hu
manity, of justice, and a set of men who never were
and never can be defeated. (Cheers. 3 In our ears the
words, the touching words of Abraham Lincoln ran
forever, that the black man may, in some hour of
future Dial, keep the jewel of liberty in the family
of freedom. Mr. Wilson then reviewed the various
political parties with which he had been connected
at various times, but from which he broke when
they ceased to carry the standard of progress to the
height he thought it should go, until at last, said
he, after four years of bloody straggle I have seen
slavery wiped out of the country, from Canada to
Mexico. Now I tell you to-day, that, casting party
organization aside, I stand upon the eternal pand.
pies or right, have sworn to stand there until the end
of the chapter; and so long as there is a right not
secured, or a wrong unredressed, these men are
, ready, and will buildup or pull down at their pleas
era I say to you that ninety-five oat of every hun
dred or the men who in November last voted to put
I Abraham Lincoln—God bless his name—ln the Pres
idential chair, are standing to-day shoulder to
shoulder, determined to protect the freedom of
America. Nothing Is more sublime than the record
of the black man In the struggle. They have stood
by our brave soldiers and sailors in the thickest of
the fights ; they have guarded ne against the enemy ;
they have stood by our men when fugitives from
starving prisons, and given them food. They stood
by the country faithfully In the hour of trial, and
the country will stand by them. 1 . " Good I good

of suffrage they would vote as their former masters
dictated to them. If there ever was an utterance
that had not the semblance of truth in It, that is it.

when it forced them to lay down their arms, that
they must do }medico to the negro and give him his
franchise they would have done it; but I am not
here to find fault with the Government, and shall
keep my faith In It until It is broken. And I be
lieve the President of the United States, who told
the black man in the Capital of his own Tennessee
that, If no one else would, he would be the Moses,
and be to them what Abraham Lincoln would have
been to them had he lived to carry out his great and
glorious principles. I understand they say that they
hold the right of suffrage in their bands. I want
them to understand that an act of Congress prohib

gentlemen will go minus the offices. Pardons will
not give them to them. I am not In favor of com

A Washington correspondent of the World com
municates the following. There is not the slightest
doubt that young Surratt'e testimony "would have
entirely exculpated his mother ;" and, for that mat
ter, each and every one of the eonspriraters might
have been "exeulpated " by the sumo easy method:\
We have beard before of families whose testimony
was useful to each other In Lawsuits, and always

" Gorier the late conspiracy trial the counsel for
Mrs. Barrett wrote to theilecretary of War, through
Judge Advocate General Molt, requesting the privi
lege of making John H. Surratt a witness for the
prosecution and pledging themselves to bring Bar
rett here from Canada in good season milting in re
turn that Starrett should be made a witness in favor
of his mother, and also that an informal pledge
should be given that Buren would be pardoned.
The Secretary of War refused to entertain the pro
position, on the around that Bnrratt was so deeply
implicated In the conspiracy, according to the theory
of the Government, that he could net, under any
circumstances, receive a pardon. It ta believed by
Mrs. Barrette counsel that hie testimony would
have entirely exculpated his mother and this opin
ion Is strengthed by a statement of Payne that one
evening, on the occasion of his last visit at Mrs
fiurratt's, he made a remark to Barrett In the parlor
from which the plan to abduct the President might

A. W. fir.attacr,

The Great Central Basin.
Mr. Bowles, of the Chicago Tribune, who is one
of Speaker Colfax's party, now crossing the Contin
ent, writing from Austin, Nevada, Bays:
The country between this and Salt Lake la de/o
leic enough. No one can understand how utterly
worthless it is for all the uses of man, except where
the mountains are tilled with minerals, until he sees
it. The everlasting sage brush, with a few stunted
cedars upon the mountains, and willows, and patch
es of grass, and scattered flowers in the gorges
scarcely redeem the whole country from utter ster
ility. The exceptions are scarcely worth naming,
for alter leaving the Salt Lake Valley, the moun
table are not so high as the Wintas on the East nor
the Sierras on the West, and hence they do not
reach up into the regions of perpetual snow, and
thus furnish streams to irrigate the plains between
them. The maps of this portion of the United
States greatly need revising. In sit but the most
general facts they are practically worthless. We
look for no mountain ranges after leaving Salt Lake
till we reach the Bleras, at or near Virginia City,
some two hundred miles west; while, in tact, the
stage crosses thirteen distinct ranges in that dis
tance. True they are not so high as the main di
visions of the Rocky Mountains, but future maps
should have them distinctly traced, if publishers
would lay any just claim to accuracy. The valleys
between these mountains are from five to twenty
five miles wide, almost devoid of everything but
sage brush. It should be noticed, however, that
this universal sterility is due entirely to the want of
water; for In our judgment the land here in most
cases is Mat that proportion of silicon and calee
hulls ingredients that would make a most product
live soil, could It be blessed with timely rains.
It may be worth while to mention that our sup
sition as to the probabilities of a route being
found a hundred miles south of Salt Lake, for the
Pacific. railway, has been changed by our ride of
four hundred miles from that city. It consequent
ly cannot follow the stage route over the timber
range's of mountains between Virginia and Balt
Lake, and several Intelligent gentlemen who said
they had thoroughly explored the country south of
it, have assured us that the country Is more barren
and broken than It is on the route over which we
have passed. As Benton once said In Congress, the
buffalo ages ago surveyed the route for the great
highway of the continent. The route Is by the
South or Brigham's Pass, north of Salt Lake, and
by the Humboldt and Carson Valleys, to the best
point, probably Virginia City, on the east side of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains, and thence by the best
Pass, and that will be ditlicult enough, to San Fran
cisco. The mute indicated is the old California
trail, still largely used by emigrants to the Pacific
elope. These observations, at best of no value as
against the leverof the engineers, may be of soup
service to those pioneers who wish to locate in ad
vance of the advent of the locomotive. Our pres
ent information has convinced us of their general
accuracy.
The Voice of a Southern Man
In his excellent 'Fourth of July oration, at Chica
go, Henry Winter Davis says:
" I have seen abontas much of negroes as any cf
you, have lived as near them, and suppose I have as
much prejudice towards them as any of you ; but to
talk 61 this after we have had to call them to our
aid in putting down this rebellion, Is either drivel
ling folly or infinite meanr.ess. japplante) If yon
did not wish to have the negro hereafter enjoy the
rights of a man, why did you bury him on the bat
tle field? [Applause.] Yon, white men of Illinois,
Why did you not have the quota of your State in
creased so that the negro should not be needed ?
Lappin:we.] We, of Maryland, carried enumeipa-
Mon by going to the poor white men in the South
ern portion of the State, and showing them that the
negro could relieve them from military sem-tee—
the-7 did not stop to discuss his right to political
privileges then. If he is their and your equal on
the battle-field in the service of the country, be ie
and should be at the ballot-box, fapplausej and it
be is not your equal on tho battle-field, then you
have cheated the United States, to the injury of the
national cause, to save yourselves front service.—
[Renewed applause.]
" There it nothing in President Johnson's procla
mation which assumes to conclude the judgment
of the Congress of the United States on the recogni
tion of State governments in the rebel States. He
may have bed more confidence to the white people
of the South than I have ; he may have desired to
give them a golden opportunity of refuting every
slander and of silencing every doubt regarding their
loyalty. He might have a hope that when they
should be called upon to vote on the Constitutions
nuder his proclamation, to be ready topresent
them to Congress In the form of petitions, for they
would be nothingelse, that seeing the signs of the
times, -and what and humanity require, or
what the long-headed people of the North will nat
urally suppose their safety requires, they may Incor
porate universal suffrage as the basis of their Coo
etitutions. I shall rejoice with him if that result
shall come about, but I am far trout expecting it."

Meeting of Jefferson Davis's Friends
The friends of Jefferson Davis, the late pseudo
President of the pseudo Contederacy held every prt.
vats and confidential meeting, says the New 'York
Evening Rat, day before yesterday at the rooms of
Mr. Carlos Butterfield in Broad-street, the form of
Invitation being us follows :
"Yon are invited to meet, with several gentle.

justice may be done.
New York, July 26, 1865.
Tliere was no formal organisation, we understand,
but a commute of five was spointed, consistin,, ,, of
C. Godlre y Gunther, Carlos Butterfield, Theodore
Martine, Mr. Cleavey and Mr. Douglas, "to raise
funds for the object stated hi the call, to consult
with Charles O't.onner, esq., of counsel, and to
adopt such other measures as may be necessary to
hasten on a trial of the parties so unjustly ineareer ,
ated by the United States Government."
A cumber of Southerners were present and made
brief speeches, saying that the failure at the rebel.
lion was merely temporary, and that the great in
surrection was overpowered, not crushed. The
spirit that originated It still lived and was strong,
and, with the aid of the North and the oust:dement
of the "glorious doetrine of State Bights," the in
dependence of the Booth would yet be established
on an Indestructible basis.
Allusions were made to the "official murder" of
Mrs. Barrett, with the declaration that It had tired
the Southern heart once more to do and dare.
The gentlemen who figured so prominently in the
meeting ought to be taken to the proposed Morgue.
They are deader than the Ptolemies, and they don't
know It; nor will they until their bodies become
too offensive to remain above ground. Mr. Livings

Rebel Troops Across the RioGrande
3LcrAmouos, July lith, 1865
To-day I learned from a good source (a late C. S.
officer of some rank) that some 7,000 Confederates
lately crossed the Rio Grande, with the view of en
tering the Mexican service, and that they are to be
organized into corps, formed of them only. lan.
informed that General Shelby is charged with their
organization.
Some °Metro of note are among them. One is
the late cavalry General, Wade Hampton, who 6
said to be up the river, at Camergo , with 6,000 men.
I am also told that Magruder is at Monterey. At the
capital is General Kirby Smith. This iv important,
for It will crush the cause of the Republican party
in this country.
Along with this news I am able to add the feet,
that a tomcat...loner, Gen. de la Fortino, haft come
to this point by order of the Government, to grant
lands to exiles from their country, and to give them
every facility to settle upon them by admitting, fn
of duty, agricultural Implements and minerals, etc
This seems to show that the Emperor is now go
ing to carry out the scheme of colonizing the border
with men of the late "C. B " Army, and pit them
against any " emigrants" from the North.
145 - The manner In which Secretary Seward came
to know of the death of the President Lincoln was
singularly touching. A correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Bu &tin says:
He had been kept ha Ignorance of the attack on
the President, his physicians fearing that the shock
would be too great for him to bear, and all news
papers were rigidly excluded from his room. On
the Sunday following the assassination, the Secreta
ry bad his bed wheeled around so that ho could see
the tops of the tree, in the park opposite, just put
ting on the spring foliage, when his eye caught the
stars and stripes at half mast on the War Depart
ment, on which he gazed awhile, then turning to
Ida attendant, eaid: "The President is dead." The
attendant stammered and changed color as be tried
to say nay, but the sagacious old man said: "If be
lied been alive, he would have been the first to call
on me ; but be has not beers here, nor has he sent to
know how I am, and there e the flag at half-mast"
The old statesman's inductive reasoning had told
the truth, and be lay in silence, the great tears
coursing down his gashed cheeks, as the dread
ful truth sank Into his mind.
Rl' The Loutterale fawned says that the anti.
amendment people seem terribly apprehensive that,
unless retrained by the Constitution they will in
evitably marry a nldger. We have all heard of the
noisy fellow, who, when getting into a quarrel, cried
out to those around him—
"Hold me, gentlemen, or I shall strike him."
Each anti-amendment man seems calling aloud in
o similar spirit—
" Hold me, dear Constitution, or I shall marry a
nigger as aura as you are born."
But we propose that the Constitution shall stand
off and see fair play.

The annual interest on the public debt that is pay
