The Boston iW says the prohibitory li quor law never has and never can be execu ted in Boston. The record of crime of that city, for the month of April, tells a poor sto ry for the law. Of 997 commitments to the Tombs, C67, or two-thirds, were for drunk enness, 258 being women. Even thoc of us who see no necessity for our Government taking any active part in behalf of the Cubans, cannot read without disgust the details of the scandalous haste with which General Goicouria was garroted. It was done to forestall any appeals to pave his lif . Thoe Spaniards are brutal wrctch- es, at best. - . The rift-burg Gazette, the oldest daily in Pittsburg, comes to our labia chid in a beautiful new spring dress. Although the Gazette is more than eighty years old. it is as vigorous as any of its more youthful co temporaries, and the new suit which it has donned is a gratifying evidence that the peo ple of Pittsburg appreciate its enterprise and spirit. General Lontr-treet was Marshal of the Pay for the Fifteenth Amendment celebra tion in New Orleans. L-mp'treet, whose courage and gallantry on the field cannot be gainsayed even by the rear guard and stay-at-home Democracy, was never braver than when, on the .""( ti of April last, he met the allied forces of Southern prejudice an 1 pas sion. His last charge is his best. Kentucky and Delaware, the two reliable Democratic States, cling with a death clutch to the lat relic of barbarism the whipping post. In the latter State the spring "sea son" has fairly set in, and the good people are enjoying a refreshing excitement. Now that the negroes have been enfranchised, it is expected that more enlightened views will prevail end the whipping pot will soon be numbered with other brutal Democratic ar guments of the past. It is estimated that it will require at least forty thousand troops to carry on our pend ing Indian war. The available force is a bout seventeen thousand. The Mormons are putting themselves upon a war footing to resist the enforcement of the laws against polygamy. The question arises will it be the best kind of policy, to say nothing of c cononiy, to add a Mormon war to aD Indian war, and reinforce the redskins with the en tire strength of the more savage white fol lowers of Urigham ? The Delaware White Men's Convention, last week, was not a very great success. The up-country trains brought ten men to Dover, the down-country trains fifteen more, and these vfere all that could be mustered in the State. Even SauUbtiry was not in at tendance. The fifteen, it is said, looked at the ten, and the ten looked at the fifteen, and then all looked at Sam 'f ownsend, who had projected the movensert, until some one said, "Let us go home!" when the white men dispersed. A Western paper states that Senators Dick Yates and Zaeh Chandler are both anx ious to command the Dig Horn expedition a northwestern land speculating crusade and maliciously asserts that "the expedition itself tjiey care nothing about, but they must have the horn." This trifling, with Senatorial dignitaries is very unseemly, and should not be tolerated by the respectable press. In the- instance referred to it will probably appear that neither of the gentle men named cver'finds himself in a dilemma about taking any sort of a horn. General Sheridan's way of dealing with the ''noble savage" makes him a lion among the "white folks" of Wyoming and Monta na, who at the same time regard the gentle Quaker Peace Commissioners as "old gran nies.." Sheridan deals with tha noble red man as he finds him, in his necklace of scalps, a most ignoble savage, while the hu manitarians who denounce "Little Phil,'' no doubt think that every Indian is a sort of Hiawatha spouting poetry. The simple truth is, however, that these Western In dians will have to be located" to work or they will be killed off. Judgment has just been given in New York against 3 railroad in a case of interest to all travelers on yearly tickets. A travel er purchased a ticket that entitled him to a hundred rides. He paid, therefore, for a hundred rides ; but when he had taken fifty rides he lost his ticket, which was the only "evidence he had of having paid ln money. The railroad company tried to take advan tage of his loss by compelling him to pay again, and he sued for so much money as would pay for the fifty rides yet due, and the railroad company had to come down. Rail roads, therefore, have not got everything their own. - The same r?ad news is repeated from Mex ico only in an aggravated form. Through out the unhappy Republic affairs are ripen ing for a universal anarchy, the progress of which it is painful to contemplate, and the results impossible to foresee. Highwaymen abound, public officials are assassinated. and most of the States, and even some of the cities, are convulsed by local revolutions. This is a terrible state of affairs, but while the Mexicans choose to govern themselves it is no affair of ours, aod we have no right to interfere. In due time we suppose Mexico will become Americanized, and with the ir repressible but thrifty Anglo Saxons will, wrae peaee, law and order. Important to Land Owners. Deputy Commissioner Douglass, has written a letter to Joseph T. Valentine, Assessor of Inter- nai liovenueoi tus tn - " in answer to a number of persons who had rented their farms for a portion of the pro duet, and they ask the following question "are we as landowners required to return as income agricultural products on hand and un-o!d?" The Commissioner replies: "Land owners are to be considered for the purpose of income tax, solely as the persons who, having property, hate rented their proteny for a cei tainaluableconsideratiotl or rent, which rent is paid to them accord ing to agreement in certain products of the laud. It the rent had been made payable, as i:s usual elsewhere, in money would there be any doubt about returning the mo ney as part or whole of income, as the case might be? And vet these land owners seem to think themselves injured because they are required by law to return as income the mar ket value of the. agricultural prjduets re ceived as rent. It i-t however required by lair -a nil cannot be avoided. "These land owners labor under a mis take, that because they own the laud they must bo reeardedand recognized as farmers. They speak of their 'stock on hand' and the Vale o!' previous crops,' as if they had been the producers of these crops ! Whereas' the law regards them only as proprietors of real estate from which rents are derived, and requires that income be returred year by year as it is received, for the purpose ot tax ation. If such income has not been return ed in previous years in the manner stated, gross error, at least, has been committoi. "If the land owners chose to keep the rent which they '"d received, whether -the sail re ui was in the nature ' of 'produce or aught else, until they could dispose of it ad vantageously to themselves they had a per fect right to do so ; but when the said rent has 'been so disposed, it becomes the duty and the rit of said land owners or propri etors of real estate, it' the amount received for it Is in excess of its market value at the time wheu it was returned as income, to re turn said excess as income for the year in which it is exchanged or sold and on the Other hetid if it be les. to deduct the loss realized from income. In this light it is re garded precisely as all other business trans actions are regarded, as the source from which income is produced and not as the growth or production of the estate, said es tate beir.2 for the time, for the considera tion of rent paid, in the possession of others the tenants. Thee tenants are the far mers, or producers of the crops. A Good Hit. A very extraordinary skeleton was recently exhumed in the sub urbs of Mooiesville, Indiana, which excited considerable interest in the community as to its identity. The Chicago Post claims, on the strength of its information, that the skeleton is clearly "that of Old Nick that " he must have died iu Indiana while on a " visit to the Democracy there, and was " probably buried by Dan Voorhecs, or some " other grateful friend." The frame of the exhumed thing, whatever it is, is said to have 'some resemblance to a human being. It measures 5 feet 10 inches in height. The skull is quite depressed in front, having two protuberances or horns just above the tore head, curving backward. The arms are long. The spinal bone is of remarkable length, and terminates in a tail about a foot in length.' "That's the fellow (exclaims " the Post) we have read about !" Nothing " is missing but the cloven hoot, and some " mean iloosier had probably dug into the " grave and got those out to make glue of. " This proof of his demise will be received " as a full explanation of the rapid decay of " the Democratic party." The British Nati-ualizatiox Reform. Great Britain, first by treaty with Hon. Reverdy Johnson, and now by statute, o-.ifiinatine in the IIiue of Lords, and since concurred in by the Commons, abandons the old decree or "outre a subject, always a sub ject." The new order provides that British subjects naturalized in the Unite 1 States, and United Jstates citizen-' naturalized in the United Kingdom, are free from primitive al beiaiiee. It also removes many di.-abiliiies, and gives adopted citizens tire light to hold and convey land, enter Parliament, an i become members of tho Privy Council. The absence of the first concession led to the war of and the latter i liberal almost beyond precedent in Europe. The Income Tax. If the law providing for a tax on incomes did-aud the fact is very plain that it did expire with the year 1SCJ, it is safe to say that Congress lias no right to pass such a joint resolution as that which recently went through the House, declaring the act to have originally meant that it should not expire at. that time. The law ended and ceased, utterly, by its own ex press terms of limitation, and there is no honest way to revive the income tax except by the passage of a new act, or what would amount to the same thing, the re-enactment oftheoldone. A resolution declaring the expired act still pending is as absurd a would be an act declaring a dead man to be still alive. Notes of Fkf.e Banks. The Auditor Gcnfral continues to administer upon the scattered remnants of the old free-banking system of the Commonwealth. His report fur ISG'j is now public. It appears that the entire amount of circulating notes issued from his Department to those institutions was O.COS t o, of which only $.79 400 are now outstanding. For this sum, twelve of, the banks are responsible, and have each lodged tho needful security for their redemption with the Department. It is probable that nearly all the outstanding pa per is in fact not in cxisteuce r"goae where the woodbine twmeth." FROTECfJON'iione of the ancient politi cal landmarks. Washington, as President, met the first congress clad inasuitof do inestic cloth, and the second act passed by that PonTrpsa hrtA n nrd-ilnblp as follow "Whereas it is necessary for the support of liovernment, ior the discharge of ourdebts, and for the, eneinira'jement and protection omanuncturct, that duties be laid on goods imported," etc. When we make our fight this fall in Pennsylvania on tho Congression al delegation we are but forming again on the old Hues and under the old colors.

The old Rebel Spirit.. It is pitable to observe the frantic efforts being made by the rebel element of the South to obliterate the record which the country and indeed the civilized worla have written -against tnem -to stem the tide of the litih century which is flowing in upon them. The Confederate rebel General Gordon recently lectured in Savannah, and seems to have dwelt chiefly upon the subject of Northern school books. These he would have entirely excluded from the South. "We all know," said the spea ker, "that the conquered always take their impressions from the conquerors titkc their civilization, their religion, their politics. It may be best that we should take them from the North; but we cannot think so. It may be beit that we adopt their theory of perfect equality ; but we think it subversive ,.e Un (',.,. ,lii.i.tital nrine'mles of covern- ment, as well as atheistic and anti B:bie a theory wl ich would level all distinctions that God has made, anfwhichare recogniz everywhere (even in Heaven and hell) but here. Of course the distinction referred to here is that of color. But how has it been ascertained by this distinguished mournerfor the- "lost cause"that white and black are reg ularly assorted and separated in Heaven ? But this vaporing may be conclusively an swered by quoting with our progressive and liberal;Democratic townsman, John O' Byrne some of Paul's sermon from Mars' Hill: "God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth." Not content with banishing all the school books which do not uphold slavery and State rights, glorify the rebellion, and canonize its leading champions, General Gordon pro tests against the current definitions of the word Stat, and desires to reconstruct Web ster's Dictionary, -a - - - Hail Storm in Philadelphia, A de structive hail storm visited Philadelphia on Sunday a-week, of which we obtain from the North American some graphic particu lars. It says : The course of the sform was from the northwest, and it moved rapidly. The fir.st clouds gathered in the southwest, and mov ed northwardly until underlying strata from the southwest overtook them. The sky was clouded from the southwest to the north west, between two and three o'clock. The storm struck Philadelphia at the latter hour raged furiously and unintermittingly for some time, and revisited mucli the same area it ravaged at first. There are oipht thousand street lamps in the city and fully one half have been broken. The conserva tories are a wreck and gardens have fuller ed severely. I he owner of one mid esti mates his loss, by breakage chiefly, at seven to eight hundred dollars. Stores in which the skylights were broken, giving the rain and hail access to the interior, must have suffered severely. The churches had some of their finest stained glass and illuminated windows wrecked. The total loss has been estimated at $:J,0!!),000, and no one has set it below $ 1, 000. 000. Stones fell that were four inches in diameter, and they are repor ted to have been found much larger than this. 1 tie damage was materially grea'cr than was worked by the storm of September 25, 1SC7. The "New Pakty" Mistake. Certain editorial gentlemen who visited this city recently have free trade on the brain, and labor under tho impression that they can build up a new party based entirely upon that doctrire. 1 hey held publie and private conferences, were flattered and compliinen ted ov I'emocraf.e politicians, ana luciing assured that they were about to accomplish great things and astonish the world, return ed to their respective homes in a high stat of satisfaction. Tho idea of a new parly to bo formed upon the free-trade principle is exceedingly grate ful to the Democratic mind. They know it will not take one man from the Democratic fold, and that the Republican gudgeons who swallow the bait will find themselves on the Democratic stri'itr. The movement is in everv re ;pect for the benefit of the Demo critic party, an 1 this is so obvious that it would require a vast amount of charity jo suppose that the editorial gentlemen in question do not understand and deaire such result. But we predict its utter failure. The at tempt will be male, ani while in some localities it may injure the Republican party temporarily, m others it wu! be substantially strengthened, and the principal consequence will be that a few loiirnais now nominal! Republican will find themselves in the Demo cratic party, which to Republicans will be srond riddance ami irreat -ram. Uome. gentle men, move on !

The Tribune says : A Canadian vesse has been refused permission to pass througl the Sault bte. .Man Canal. e are not told that the vessel was loaded with military supplies, or that she was in any senso a part. ot the expedition sent to Fuporeis Liel rebellion, bnt the refosn! of .the Customs ofli eer to allow htr to continue the voyage could have been properly based on no other grounds. We are. therefore, left to infer that the United States Government propo ses to maintain a strict neutrality in the affair. At the same time there is no longer a doubt that anned bands of Fenians are moving through Minnesota to join Riel in Winnipeg or Manitoba. What will the Government do with these ? Colonel . L. Hough denies in the SanFraneiseo newspapers the charge of Fitz- hugh Lee that General Thomas offered his services to the Sonthcrcn confederacy. Fie says that General Thomas met that charge directly before his death. Colonel Hough, who was for many years on the personal. staff of General Thomas, serving as aid at the time of his death, is a Philadelphian by birth and education, and wherever he is known his word will far outweigh that of any man wlio has ma lo the charge. A New Paper. We hare received two numbers of a new weekly paper entitled, Pittsburgh Review and Price Current, published at Pittsburg by MacConnell k Co. subscription price $3 00 a year in advance. It is " devoted to the 'manufacturing and mercantile interests of Pittsburgh and Wes tern l eunsyivania, and is in all respects an able and well conducted paper one that should be liberally patronized by those to whose interests it is pledged. - The St. Louis Tribune gives a list of forty-nine Missouri journals (seven of them issued daily) which are outspoken for Pro tection, and says this list is incomplete. These, with the Governor of the Stale and the president of the St. Louis Board of trade afford a pretty fair indication of the drift of public sentiment. The Bie.

The De troit Post records the v- onderful skill of a counterfeiter named John B. Trout, now serving out a sentence in the Indiana State prison, who was broujrht on to that city as a witness before the United States court to bhow the connection of the Johnson family with the counterfeiting business in Indiana from to 1807. Trout went into a min ute description of the proeess of engraving plates and printing notes, and the uses of the various implements seized in Johnson house. But the most wonderful exhibition of his skill was in telling the name of the engraver of a plate by examination of bill printed from it- lie was thoroughly famil iar with the work of all the engravers. He detected a counterfeit from a genuine bill at a glance, lie readily designated as counterfeit an issue which even the treasury department took as genuine fur some time before detecting as false, the department then heine oUifted to cancel the genuine is sue because the fair was nearly perfect. The United States Marshal has a book con taining samples of all the counterfeits yet issued. Trout looked at these bills and told the engraver correctly each time with very little examination. Trout could not de scribe the process by which he distinguish ed these various bills, but spoke of it as an indescribable instinct. Financial Recontre. Tho "bulls" and "bears" of Wall street had another lusty encounter on Thursday last, and the Stock Exchange experienced a degree of excitement not felt since the great "bear" victory of September last. For tome time past the "bulis" have been gradually recuperating, and had gained such strength and ascendancy as to he utterly retrardless of the bears in appreciating nil kinds of se curities ; and so much so that the hieh road to fortune seemed to consist in buying any thing on the stock list. On Thursday lat. however, "a change came o'er the spirit of the dream," and the innocent but infatua ted outsiders who had credulously listened to the colcur de rose statements of more ex perienced operators were made to feel the mutability of human affairs, and to experi ence the peculiar vicl-itudes of Wall street, by a sudden decline in prices. But this is only the repetition of an oft-told tale; when the smoke of the recent battle has cleareu away, more recruits win oe iurnisa- ed and a fresh campaign opened. Kiel'. organ, the Xeio Nation, declares that Col Rankin was expelled from the Red river territory because he talked Irish and offered the aid of auxiliaries from the Uni ted States. It would appear from this that the Fenian movement has not the sympathy of the Red river rebels, or as a contempora ry expresses it, that Riel, though a bold man in a certain way, is resolved not to rim the risk of being "too bold." Manitoba being thus tabooed to Fenian incursions, they will have to look in another direction for a point of attack on the New Dominion. "Givf. tfir Devil tus Due." It is stated that a Roman Bishop, in the course ot "a sermon preached by him at Vell.-tri (Italy), a few days since, declared that lailroads, tdegrapbs, and the printing pws were the "inventions nf the devil." If this ho true the devil has been cheated out of t lie credit due to-him as a genious of the lirst c'ass and a benefactor of the human race. That priest, who will doubtless vote the Pope infallible, has "unintentionally "raised th devil" higher than he ever was before. Harrisburg Tdeyraph.
