K11.4IIISU TAVAIKf. How to adjust taxation so as to iru-M.-e eual and exact burdens on every individual, all species ol property and the various avocations of lifts. seems to he the most difficult of all problems to solve. Taxation is the penalty paid for the protection of. property, the building nf strcits, ro.-ds, bridges, educating children, to iay the expenses of courts if justice, county and 8;ate govern tiu uti aud all the accessories of civiliza tion. The honest tillers of the soil can not understand how it is that their little property, earned by their horny hands utid the sweat of their bro 5 8, Dever Ci i apes the remorseless taxpatherer, while the millionaire pays no tax upon his bonds f at'ely stored away and protected 1 y the government to whose support ho .Diitiihutes nothing. But statesuian-i-hip cannot ee how it is possible to tax property that is intangible and invisible. Nearlv every State in the l mon tx hlciii how to Gov. lVtisoii, in his to the Pennsylvania Legisla ture on Moudav last, took a new depan.- lirn r.- the .iiipstion of taxation, and made a recommendation which has at tra. ted reuch discussion, in roviewtDi; the details of the State's revenue and expenditures, Gov. PiUtison recommends an equalization of the burdens of real n,rsoual trorertv, the former of wiiii-h now pavs about .'r,(M)0.Ou0 taxes n a ?l.t;mt.ttHi.t.KH" valuation, and tl hater fMuM'"' taxes on a 31.5n),0X),0iJ valuation. If there is any discrimina tion it should be in favor of reul estate instead of asainH it. The Governor uegests such a change of the revenue laws as would make the corporation axes pav all the State's expenses, and would leave to the counties the proceeds i all other taxes on personal property, 'fiie simplest way to do this would be to select s.ime one class of corporate prop erty, tuch as paid-up capital, and assess the entire amount needed upon it. The rrveuue would then be certain, and the .ti,ini would be benefited as 1..'1JJU1"- . of real estate. This recommend ution has been pronounced visionary and j impracticable, and judging from the uiau nerin which it has been received will not be considered ly tie Legis lature It has the appecrance of dis crimination. Equal and exact justice to all, exclusive privileges to none, is a cardinal tenet in the J'eniocratic creed. While Democrats oppose the policy which protects one industry by taxit-K others, on the .lame principle they op pose any discrimination in imposing the burden of taxation. It is an absurdity tl) select, as proposed by Gov. Pattison. sume one class of corporate property ai d a.-. ss lie State tax solely unon that, leaving the various local sources of rev enue, whetaer from personal property or I'roio lieen-.es. to the local governments. This recommcadation is inspired by a desire to pander to the popular prejudice against corporations, much of which is 15ut the Legislators of Pennsyl vania are too tagacious to pass a law which would cause the corporations to ta'xe wings unto themselves and fly awry and organize in other Stales where taxes ..n their busiccs would not be so op rf.ive. Such a til as is recommended by the Governor of Pennsylvania would drive many corporate industries cut of ihe State, at"! taxation can never bt equalized by the plan he has proposed. and reached the Mahdi's camp.

The Irish people, by the n.astcrly tac tics of Parnell, have obtained a land law that has conferred groat advantages upon that country, by vurbing the grasp of the landlord and to ths.t extent relieving the oppressed tenant. The landlords in Great Britain are no less given, as far as they have opportunity, to oppress and grind than those of Ireland, and the tenants are now seeking relief by follow ing the Irish polie;.' and forming land leagues. The recant extension of the franchise specially helps the rural popu- ation who principally suffer from land lordism giving them the power to en force their demands by their votes. cotland, where farmers have been turned wholesale out of their holdings that dukes atid lords mijht make deer parks and shootiuE-grounds of their farms, is especially cursed by the infamous deeds of the land ficui. A Highland land league has been lormed there aud is growing in power, and is battling hard for redress for the wronged and the down trodden. In Wales the Welsh Land League is gathering up forces for resist aucc to landlord extortions, and is de manding that that, principality shall have at least as much done bv Parliament to redress their injuries as has been concod ed to Ireland. A grand alliance land league of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales has been arranged, and the hand ful of aristocrats that own the greater portion of the laads in those places will li ad themselves f iced by a power mightier than their own. a power that strikes for right and justice, while they stand on the corrupt and sinking soil of extortion and oppression. Thank heaven, the bat tie of richt against might goes on, and. before long. It Inns jour n vlendra. Ofiice of O'Do.ioran . Iiossa, in w York ills E'rsperate Attempt to Kill the THE CINCINNATI FRAUDS.

Nbw York. Januarv 9. At a late hour this afternoon several men stepped out of 12 Chanters street, in which building is located the otlice of O' Do no van Kosaa and the United Irishman. In a few seconds after a man covered with bood tottered down the stairs to the hall way and sank on the second step, while his blood covered the sidewalk in a stream. The most intense excitement at once took place and crowds nocked to the scene. Neveral officers rUBhed up, and seeing a few men ruakintr toward Cham- bers street and City Hall, foilowe-t them. One of them, a tall man, was captured and brought back to where the dying man was lying. "Is this the man who stabbed vou t asked the c nicer. l es, tout is tue man," said the bleeding man, "but, by heavens, if I m going to die 1 11 die game, and there will be two of ns." With that, and before the bystanders could reauze his intention, he drew a re volver and fired two shots in quick suc cession at the man standing before him. One of the balls tonk etl'ert in the thigh of his wou!d-be murderer. Ibis still turluer increased the excitement, and the neigh borhood became wild with all sorts of ru mors. The man who wns stabbed proved to be Capt. Thomas F. Phelau, of Kansas Citv, aaed forty-nine, and his assailant, who hs says stabbed bim, gave tus name as liicnard snort, sol lentn avenua. An ambulance was summoned, aud Phelan was taken to the Chambers Street Hospital dying. He is stabbed in the neck and breast and several other places. There were rumors that tie gave away some of the secrets ot tbe reman organization. THE UAWilU.V TKE1TT. The advocates of a renewal of the treaty with Hawaii ure an argument that cannot be passed by without con sideration. The European powers are just now in a treuzy ot greed tor terri tory, seizing lands and islands wher ever they can be found unprotected by some civilized power. The treaty with the Hawaiians once gme, the finest shippincport between Sau Francisco and China and Australia is abandoned to European greed. Germany, England, France all would want to seize a prize so great and dominate a positiou so im portant, but not as important to any power as to ourselves, owing to its posi tion with respect to our Pacific coast. Cannot a treaty be trot un thnt shail re tain the American character and influ ence which is bow dominant in Hawaii, and which shall at the same time smash the Spreckles monopoly and give the American breakfast table cheap sugar!

To paraphrase the saying about Hecu bri," What's Africa to us or we to Africa" that we must have a representative r.t the Congo Conieicnce to debate with the representatives of t'-o European govern ments about the Uud-giabbing business that Germany, France. England, Italy and Portugal are engaged in?

And who suggested that action to us? The very ilo; histopheles that has made one government in Euroi.e a'ter another his toi;s and dupes Bis-1 uurck. Germany is involving its claims in Africa with those of England, and it is talking of trading off ?couena fjr some other gpot, while France wants to claim ru-hts aud j'owcrs in the international territory ih-d our Stanley and the Kirg of Uel-'iuiii are seeking to rescue f'r'-'iO the greed of the European powers. Liv ingstone went to Africa to spread Chiis t'auity and introduce the Bible, and the peaceful, unselfish teaching of Christ, aud hero is the upshot. Aud to add to the shame of the thing the Luitcd States, by the wisdom or otherwise of the State Department, has its diplomatic representatives engaged in the unholy jujuabMe. Stanley wa? there to defend the rights of the international territory. are seeking no slices of territory in Africa, and want no American colony there, yet our diplomats, representatives of a country that says "hands off" to Eu rope. "'Vou shall settle no colonies and hold no territory upon the whole broad American continent," are tnfogling in the mess that European nations have concocted to gratify their cupidity and ambition. That the public eve of the I'uited States should be di rected to this matter is evident. If proof were wanted that such a necessity exists it is tupplied by a leading Conservative Genu u paper, the -Yew FreiiMi'che Zcitu-tg. which, in what is called "an of ficially inspired article," says: "The Jay is now near at hand when the Pana ma and Nicaragua questions, which are essentially of international interest, should be regulated by an international conference like that now regulating the Congo. In all that concerns Panama and 'icaragua.Gcrmany has quite as im portant interests at stake as England or France.1' New Orlhane, January 9. Mrs. Myrs C.arke Gaines, the famotn litigant, died at 11:10 o'clock to-night, aged eighty years. The Sist suit brought by Mrs. Gaines l Yf r.s.

ASOTIIKK JOl-KXAI.IKTICIIF.BO. P.ecent Egyptian telegrams have at times mentioned, the presence of a Frenchman, Oliver Pain, at the head quarters of the Mahdi. He is a journal ist, brave, accomplished and well versed in his vocation. By tfs aid the Mahdi will arrive at a knowledge of what the European press is saying aud the Euro pean Cabinets doing, consequently the Eoglish are denouncing him with hot rage. It is their own fault, however, thatPain has joined the Mahdi inimical! to them. Early la?t f ummer Pain and a son of the well-known Henri Roche fort, the Parisian journalist, went to upper Egypt for the purpose of arrang ing reports to tho associated Paris papers 'rom the Mahdi's headquarter. The English threw every obstruction ia their way, and would not allow them to pass ihe lines, and they had to return to Cairo, whence Kochef jrt was summoned 40 Algeria. Pain then prepared, in company with a friend, M. Guery, to cross the lines without authorization, nd this, by aid of a native dragoman, he accomplished. When crossing the desert the Arab escort attacked Pain's party, but the intrepid Frenchman shot several of them and the rest fied from the accursed Ben Shitan son of the devil. Guery was killed and Pain se verely wounded, to that te was obliged to seek aid, when the English put him in iail at Esnah. He lay three days with out food, but when re leased and cured of Jiis wound he again started for Kordofan tteneral Dutrurlion of froPrCty Kantcrn Month Carolina. Coi.fMBiA, January 7. Details from t1 e recent cyclone which swept over the east ern part cf the rrtaie, through Lancas er, Clarendon and other counties, show teiri ble loss of property, but miraculous es capes from loss of life. In 1-ancaster a number of barns, ginhousos and other outhouses were blown down. The greatest damage was done iu Ciarenden county.

II is cl. thing was split in a number r f places by the force of the tornado. Nearly every building on Mr. Weeks's plantation was wrecked, a milch cow and two rau'es kitled, and other injuries in live stock. The cyclone was z:gzag, and cut down a stretch of forest lifieen miles long.

Hia wife and children were in the house when it was wrecked, and their es capi w ith only slight injuries was indeed miraculous. The cyclone made a clean sweep of some sections of Clarendon. A greet mai y animals were killed and crip pled. All the poultry in the track of the storm were either kii.ed or blown out of the county. Birds of almost every de scription were found deed and nearly siripoed of feathers. The cyclone did great damag3 in neighboring counties, but was most duiastrous in Clarendon, lbe vear of 1884 brought some feve or tix cy- i lr.es to this .State, which caused immense loss of life and property.

The Springer investigating committee had Ex-Sheriff Hawkins as the hrst witness, but as he had not yet procured a list of his depnty sheriffs at the election, he was excused till to-morrow. R. J. Price, contractor, testified tuat one of his men refused to go and vote because he had heard there was trouble at the polls. On cross-examination he said the voting place was Avondale, a mile away from where the men were at work. All went except this one. Alderman Duffy, of the Emhth Ward, gave a graphic description of tlieseer.es at I! precinct, that ward. He said the trou ble began at 9 o'clock, when a colored voter was challenged and the jn ge pro posed that lie be taken to the place claimed as hia residence. The colored ns puty marshals jumpod from the curb to the street, formed a line, pulled their re volvers, but did not shoot then. The bovs of the ward got dray-pins and others clubs. The negroes also got clubs, and all went to fooling, throwing clubs up. Fi nally the boys got close to the ne groes, when the negroea opened fire on them. The shots Bounded ' like a bunch of shooting-ciackers. Sev eral men were wounded. The negroe3 were run off. iiarly in the morning the negroea had possession of the polls and voted as they pleased. He saw a good deal of whispering going on between Botis, supervisor of election, and the coons just before the Urine began. The witness created merriment by describing how the supervisor, who who was in the house, whispered to the "coons on the sidewalk. He said Botts "just leaned out of the winder and pulled one of the 'coons' ears up to him." Later he said he saw a colored man walk politely toward a crowd at the polls, and when fifty feet away pull nis pistol ana let her so. luen the bovs too after the negro, and, as he supposed, put a uead on nun. Chairman springer rapped in vain for order at this recital. Barney Wicher, a resident of Covinz- ton, also described the same. He said he did not vote for fear of trouble. He ex plained that, though be had lived in Ken tucky eight years, he had always voted here, as hia roperty and business were here, and want to Kentucky on account of his wile's health. On cress-eximina-tion, he said he stood about the polls all day, and did not vote because he was afraid be would be challenged, and that would have cau?ed trouble. Patrick Runch, citv marshal of Mount Sterling, Ky.. f-stified that he saw Rich, Foreman, and Samuel Cash, of Mount Sterling, here on election dav acting as deputy marshals. He was here him self to look for negroes from Kentuckv, who might offer to vote He found none such. James Mernagh, of Paris, Ky., tesMfied that he saw a number of the government employes of Paris, Ky., here on election dav. tie saw colore 1 deputv marshals rescue a prisoner from the police. C. C. Mulligan, a deputy marshal, testi fied that lie and others received revolvers, and that they were loaded. f.x-Mieri!t lla-.kins reappeared, and prod-ced a list of bis deputies as approved by the judge of the court. A. O. Robertson, editor of the Falmouth (Kv.) Democrat, teiititied that lie organized a force cf sixty two men in eight counties m Kentncky, at the instance of the Dem ocratic Committee, to come to Cincinnati and watch for colored Kentuckians who might come hero to vote. His men re ported that thev had spotted twenty-seven Kentacky negroes, and had prevented them from voting. Only ono had actually attempted to vote, and he wts not prose cuted. ua cross-examination, witness said for a week or more before the election it was notorious tlaat many negroes were going to the citv on trains well h' ed Hence the Demociats got Kentuckians likely to know them to come and prevent them from voting. He could not name one negro who came to Cincinnati. He was not very popular among the ntgroes, and knew the names of very few. He did not think the negro should vote in his present condition, and never would ask a vote of one for himself or a friend. Adjourned. Senator Palmer's Public Health Bill- K.

The bill passed directing the transfer of one of the vessels of the Greely relief ex pedilioa to the Treasury Department for a revenue cutter for use in the waters in Alaska, and authorizing the retention of the other two for use in the navy as sur veying vessels or otherwise. In submit ting the report, Senator Cameron said tbe revenue cutter now in Alas'. a was insuf ficient for the purposes of the government. Senator McPherson inquired whether there was any intention on the part of the government to return to the English government the ship presented to the United S ates for the purposes of the Greely relief expedition. senator Cameron replied that under the law, as it would stand withont the passage of this bill, the Secretary of the Navy would be requires to sell all ships form- ng part of the relief expedition. Senator Jackson, from the Uommittee on Pensions, reported favorably without amendment tbe bid yesterday introduced by Senator Allison, comprising the legis lative provisions of the pension appropri ation bill recently passed by the House. Senator JacksoD said he would call the bill up to-morrow. Senator Slater called up the Oregon Central land forfeiture bill, which has been in abevance subjeet to Senator Morgan's motion to reconsider. Senator .Moraao withdrew his motion to reconsider. and the bill therefore stands passed as amended by the Senate. It now goes to the Mouse. The Senate proceeded with the consideration of the bill upon the calendar. The Senate resumed consideration cf e interstate commerce bill, and Senator GaaVnd called np the House bill on the same subject, with the view, he said, of moving to recommit the Senate bill, with 11 its proposed amendments, together with the House bill, to the Committee on Railroads for further consideration. The House bill wa? then read, and Mr. Gar- Unit addressed the Senate on the subject matter, Senator Garland said that during bis term in the Senate no question had come before it so intricate as that involved in the proposition to regulate interstate com merce, vt hat do we understand Dy regu latint; interstate commerce," in the sense meant by the constitution? To proscribe ru'es by which commerce should be gov erned. While Congress might itself legu- late interstate commerce, where did we find the power in Congress to delegate its power to a commission .' JJoiegated power could not be sub-delegated. Congress could nDt divest itself of its legislative power and hand it over to any commission. It was nnbeard of that legislative power should be delegated. The powers lodged in lbe commission were extraordinary, and Senator Garland aBked the Senators to pause and seriously consider the bill. It not only gave the com mission legislative but judicial power It seemed to him that the courts were competent to deal with the questions involved, and if they were not, their juris diction could be enlarged. He recognized the demand existing in the country for some proper legislation in the direction aimed at, bnt he thought the bill just passed by the House a better measure than any measures proposed in the Sen ate. The House till defined what was wanted, and did not leave it to any sub ordinate of.icer or commission. It did not delegate the power of Congrees to any other body, and so it left the matter with in the constitution. The question, what was States commerce and what was inter state commerce, was a very difficult one sometimes to decide. Tbe danger be tween State .severally and the United Stites arose iu this very question, and the Senator from Illinois (M.r. Cullom) in charge of the bill ought not to be in too great haste to tncounter the question in all its length and breadth. Senator Gar land wanted to see the object in view ac coxplished, and felt that he conld say that the Senators on his side of the cham ber would cleer fully aid in bring ing the matter to a close at this session. He believed greater progress would now be made by recommitting all bills and proposed amendments to the committee, who could consider them and report promptly to the Senate. Senator Cullom, while .willing to con cede everything possible to Senator Oar land, whom he regarded, he said, as one of the most eminent lawyers in the Sen ate or country, would prefer to have the bill discussed in the Senate instead of the committee. He wanted the people of the country to see that this interstate commerce bill was no longer to be a foot ball, and that there was a determination that something should be done with it. Senator Dawes fftid many suggestions made the past few days were well calcu lated to make the Senate want tq do some thing about this question, while the Sen ate was really takirg care that nothing should be done. The Senate bad it now in its power to do something, and it ought to do it, and not refer the subject to a com mittee, there to be allowed to sleep the sleep of death. Alter further debate, participated in by senators jbavard, t ulloni. Harrison, in galls, Slater, Maxey and Jones Fla., the motion to recommit was rejected yeas,ia ; nays, 24. ator Uullom said when, alter discu- ment in the Treasury Department of a bureau of public health, to be charged with tho execution of all laws relating to quarant na and the public health.

There are certain monopoly Democratic candi dates who, by observation of the current of the Speakership elections, know that the current toward pure and undented Democracy is much stronger in this Legislature than had been sup posed. Thev realize that in a caucus thev would be at a disadvantage by their tend ency to cometize from the platform, and therefore thev are nguung a caucus. On the other hand, the rank and tile of the candidates are willing to trust their chances to a caucus of their brethren.as did the candidates for tbe Speakerships. A close fight is progressing, but s-.roug prob abilities are in favor of a caucus on the Secretaryship of State, either to-morrow night or Monday night.
