in regard to this tax than the feople of
any other State, as in proportion to
wealth and population the people of
this State are taxed far beyond any
other, as may be seen from the report
of the Internal Revenue Commissioner
for 1868 California, with three memvers of Congress, paid a tax on incomes
(not including dividends, etc.jof $2,026,$8441; Illincis, with a representation
‘of fourteen members in the House of
Representatives, paid $2,046,000; Indiana, with eleven members of Congress,

Maine with five members, paid $247,000; Iowa, with six members, paid
$275,000; and the great State of Ohio,
with nineteen representatives in the
popular branch of Congress, paid only
$2,152,000, or, practically, no greater
amount of income tax than California,
with one-fifth her population and a representation of three! There are only.
six States that pay more Internal Revente than California, nam ly: New
York, $35,000,000; Ohio, $16,000,000,

All honor to’ the Radical Republican
party ; step by step they have contendfirst for
our freedom ; then, for civil rights; and
lastly for political rights. In every effort they have been succesefal. The
battle bas been won.
How shall we celebrate the great
vont! By Many plans have been sug. gested,
unanimous approbation. 1 recommended the following :
On the day the proclamation is issued by the Secretary of the United
States announcing that the Fifteenth
Amendment has been ratified: by the
required number of States, and is a

Named as soon thereafter as possible ;

1; That at 9 o'clock «a. M. in our
churches and places of worship. and
from nine until twelve o'clock, offer up
hymns of praise and prayers of thanksgiving to our Almighty Father for the
countless rich blessings we now enjoy,
especially for the attainment of the full
rights of American citizens. We are
taught, before entering upon any great
undertaking, to first implore the aid.of
the Diety. This is traly an important
advance, no less than assuming the responsibilites of citizens of this vast and
atill growing Republic. We are now
no more aliens in the land of our birth.
2. At one o'clock-P. m. let the differ-ent eocieties-and associations assemble
atany namied place, with the citizens
on foot-and in earriages and other conveyances, and form a jon and
march through the principal streets to
a farden or hall; and “there have addeesses from one or more chosen speakrs.
_ 8. At night assemble in the churches
submit to,and to which the people of
all @her States are not subject. The
cost of living is also greater where the
exemption are the same. The great
demand for such taxation no longer
exists and the tax ought to be abolished. The Committee on Ways and
“Means have reported in favor of a—reduction of $30,000,000 in incomes, Congress ought to go further than this,
and abolish entirely all taxation upon
4ncomes.--This would give better satis‘faction than any change or modification
of tariff could give. Indeed the abolition of taxes on incomes would hide
from the people a. multitude of sins.

~“theré are one thousand three hundred
and thirty. The majority have but
crackers, cheese, and some such conve. nient grub, but a great many set out
sumptuous repasts—soups, fish, game,
» meats, done up in the best styles. That
paper gives the cost perday of a medium lunch at $38. This is an actual
and net fancied cost. It figures from
this that the monthly outlay for free
lunches in San Francisco amounts to
ever $100,000. 2

and the old gentleman, in being entirely satisfied with it, are to be commended,
for their modesty and their nice appreciation of the delicate question of family appointments—a matter upon which
by unscrupulous partisans, great injustice has been done to Gen. Grant.
AN interesting event occurred in a
Catholic church in Seymour, Connecticut, A couple presented themselves at.
the altar to be joined in the bonds of
wedlock, and, when that part of the
charge had been read to the congregation, “If any persons present know any
just cause why this couple should not
be juined,” ett., “let them now make it
known, or forever after hold their
peace,” a lady rose in the audience, and .
said she had a few objections ofa serious. character. A sensation was
straightway created, and the affair resulted in the man’s marrying the obintended.
