Taxing Ciovornment Bonds. The Albany (Xew York) Argus says : "Last week the t'oncecticr.t Assembly passed a bill by a very larjro tusjority not less than four to one taxing: the income cn United States bonds to the amount of fifteen per cent. Party screws bd not Veen applieJ to that question, and ;wo expression 01 mo liouse was a iruiniui one, .fairly representing the views of fuur-fifths of the people of Connecticut. But no sooner had the bill passed tho House, says the Hartford Times, than partisan efforts were made to prevent the passage cf the bill in the Sen ate, and trt icuu?e tho Uonse to reverse it just de cision. The reasons of this partisan effort were that rt is not loval for a State to tax the income on U. S. bonds which the XT. S. Government itself takes ; and that a tax laid by a State upon all the propertT of its eitiiens, including taxes upon the income for these bonds, would hnrt the Govern ment eredit a poor credit, one wen.d snnpose, to Jbe shaken by a measure of this kind. The bill was just. It taxed the income on &30, $00,000 of property at a time when our Treasury sorely cecls taose taxes, as the people are required to provide million and a half of dollars the com iinjr Tear for State expenses, a train st $70,000 as for nierly. This tax would aid the Treasury material ly. But it is uot "loyal"' for Connecticut to ttfpial ire its taxes amonj its own citizens, and party drill "brought all tit Republicans into the hopper, and they were proncd into opposition to the bill. First, the Svcr.te defeated it, then the House by a strict party vote, not varying three votes from a partisan decision, eoneurred with the Senate. In this Tote the Ccpubiiean rarty acted apainst the .wishes of the people. They have imposed at least 15 per cent, additional taxes npon all who are obligetl to pay, by exempting a large and wealthy class who have the means, and who ought to pay their due projxTtion. .

" tjETTivc: Alasxed. The Milwaukie Sen tinel, an Allition- organ, in a late issue eaid : It is Ijccoming a serious question whether the writ cf habeas corpus is ever again, in this country, to serve its ancient purpose of 'troteetin; citizens from armanry and ille gal arrests ; or if it is yet allowed to, whether the instances will not be exceptional, and the courts be generally deterred from issuing the writ, because of disabuny to enforce it Yet it declares that its party is the party of freedom. The habeas corpus has been well eaid to be the bulwark of the libertv of 'the citizens ; but the party of ' Freedom" is the only party which lias ever denied it to the people. - Fast R acixg.

Daring a late debate in the British Par liament a member stated that in England and Wales alone there were a million of paupers, and five hundred thousand more on the verge of pauperism. -The heavy national debt and the high taxes necessary, to meet the interest npon it were assigned as the cause. The Abolitionists tell us that the National Debt Is a National blessing. So it is, of the character described above. Do they think it a blessing to multiply paupers in the coun try, and build up a set of vastly rich to en slave them? This is the certain result to flow from the Debt.

THE WAR OS CATHOLICS. Tho Nov York Imlepenuem in sulin Iho Irish, mm t.iormo the Xocro Tho .Abolition Cru sade against Cat hollo ami Irish. The following from W. It. Hooper, i the Now York lnJereiKleiit, Henry tinl lk'oi-lior's i:ikm', will t-lunv tho iiitrntit.'.i of the Abolition i:utv to erseruto mo Irish and Catholics, and to estuMifh Ne gro superiority over them : FKF.E SITFRAGK A RKLIGI(U SAFE lil 'A 111). PV WlI.tl.iM It. It-WfKR. The New York Observer has done, and i doin" an excellent work in showing the danger to our institutions from the pres ence of ?o large a body of Catholics in this country. Hound together by the tie of a conunou iaith that allows political ami re ligious headship in a foreign potentate, all secrets developed throuirh the confes sional, without mental culture, they eon- ' .. til" " stitute a unit to ue worseu iy one siring in the hands of the priestlv body. It las been the misfortune of the f rish Catholics to have been united, not only against Pro testantism, but against all those ideas of freedom and equality that should be the birthright of every American citizen. Thev have, to a man. been iu favor of slavery; they are now united, to a man, in their denial of suffrage to the blacks. The danger is a growing one. The Catholic "World informs us that in 1808 the Catholics were 100,000 in a population of six and a half millions, or one sixty fifth of the whole: in 1860 tbev were 450.000 in thirteen ntillitfns, or one twen ty-ninth of the whole : while in 18G0 thev were 4.400,000 in 81,000.000, or cme"- seventh of the total population. This population will continue to grow ; for Canada is pouring her legions into tins country faster than ever before, while tho termination of the war throw? the whole South and the magnificent West open to foreign immigration. The mag nitude of the danger cannot be overesti mated. But the Observer only tells us of the danger ; it points out no mode of escape. It lifts up a voice of warning; it does not tell how to avoid the evil. Ve propose to show a complete means of obviating the danger. There are in the United States a large hr-dy of men, their numbers increasing as we move southward, who are as ignorant and uneducated as the Irish Catholics. But they have no common religious faith, nor does the confessional put them and thir secrets in the power of any man or any priesthood. There are four millions of them; almost the exact number that there are of Catholics ; all black, all loyal, and nearly all Protestant. Like the Irish, they reason through their fetdings; unlike the Irish, they show a greit desire and aptitude for intellectual impruvemeut. Without any free school system whatever, their children are counted in free schools by tens of thousands. While in Wash ington, Norfolk, Richmond, Newborn, wherever Northern philanthropy is wil ling to teach, thousands of adult blacks labor by day, study by night. They are unlike the Catholic Irish, in being docile, gentle and affectionate. Their love of music, their willing obedience, their re ligious aspirations are valuable character istics. In versistencv ol labor, tor stern and rugged work, the Irish are superior : lor the more beautitut qualities of human ity, the blacks. Hut the Christian es pecially notes the fact that the Irish sre all Catholic, all hostile to the Bible, all haters of Protestantism, while the blacks have an intense desire to read the Word of God, are nearly all Protestant, and all followers of Him who came to let the op pressed go free. These two classes are the supplement of each other. Each is rich in the qual ities lacking in the other. To one the franchise is granted from his birth, or after a temporary residence. The other must rise from poverty to be worth 250 before he can vote in New York. In States west and south of New York he cannot vote at all. Now, if it is desira ble to meet the positive Catholic element in politics or religion by one equally pos itive in another direction, we have but to clothe the black with the same political power we have already given the white. True, the black is uncultivated and igno rant ; but go is the Irish. In all our po litical debates on this question, we re member of no argument against a black voter that is not equally adverse to an Irish one. And the black voter has these advantages: his instincts arc on the side of freedom and of Protestantism, he is more susceptible of cultivation, and he is not the tool of priest or layman. The gift of franchise to the black insures the perpetuity of free education and re ligion in our land. Give the black man a vote, and every Southern State will be loyal, every Northern State true to free dom. Ketuse him the franchise, and the rebellion will not be ended with the gen eration which gave it birth.

Tho Ktafos ofConnoot iont and ow llaitinshiro in "Itobollion,' The Comptroller of t!i- Currency has written the billowing sisirn letter to n bank ofTuTV in I lartfi rdin reference to the roi-ent aetion of the Connecticut l.cg-i.-lattirt On the taxation ''of (Jovcrnnient Securities: Ort-n-E ot' CcmrTnni.LKK ok i tik Ci n- l:i:xrv, WmsTON, July 22, '05. ) I cannot but express nty pfarprise that tho Ti'eoislatuiv nf ther-'ta'.e of Connecti cut should enferkvn a proposition to vir tually confiscate a portion 01 the iSovciii- tnetit Securities held by inhabitants cf that Statti. The law exempting from taxation ( Jov- ernment 'Securities is so specific and clear that it cannot be questioned. J he bonds were disposed of, and purchased with the provision of law as n part of the contract, that thev were to be exempt from taxa tion, and the country has received an equivalent for swell exemption in the ad ditional rioe rceetTwl for tlr bonds. Can any one lelieve that the obligations of the (lOvcTnnifut would fvwe sold fur anything like the price realized, or at any price at all commensurate with their value, if it had been supposed possible that they could be taxed by State laws, directly or indirectly ? If your legisla ture can impose a tax of fifteen per cent, on the income derived from Government Securities, it is just as competent for it to impose a tax of fifty or one hundred per centum. It is a source of regret that any North ern State should for a single moment countenance an attempt to repudiate or nullify a constitutional act of Congress, and one, too. that was deemed necessary to preserve the integrity of the nation. In one aspect of the case, however, it may be regarded as a most fortunate oc currence, as it will serve to show the peo ple that it will not be safi. for the (tor- crnuient to allow the Southern States to be so reconstructed as ta permit their be ing represented in Congress as a unit, as they would be. by men who would be but too willing to unite with northern men of the character of those favoring the meas ure under consideration, to repudiate the national debt, if not by direct action, by an equally destructive want of action in providing the means of payment. I am glad to heur, and the whole country h:is reason to rejoice, but the Finance com mittee of your State Senatestandsopposed to this insidious measure. The effect of the proposed tax would be to reduce the value of Coverument Securities iu the hands of the people of your State fifteen jer cent., provided there was an assurance that no further exaction would be im posed, but without such assurance would reduce the market value much more, as the next, or any subsequent Legislature, could increase the tax to the extent of delroyingtheir productive value entirely. The State of New Hampshire has passed a law imposing a tax of 25 per cent, on the income derived from National Secur ities. If this action was confined to the two States, the result would simply be to de prive the people of New Hampshire and Connecticut cf the privilege of holding or owning Government Securities. It is very clear the States would not get the tax, as the owners would sell their seeu ities to parties out of the States, or go out themselves with the securities. 'His Soul ioes lurching On."

Mather, the entire clergy, the (iovernors and Legislatures all combined and vied with l each outer in radical lurv and iiaie. as late as 1740 they enacted the most barba rous laws against sectaries and enforced the Saybrook Platform. And this was all done after nil the gen iuses above named .had written. Chau cer had thri centuries before written the Canterbury Tales.. Spenser had given the world the Fairy Queen, and drawn the character ol Arther. A man whose calling was to please the world in an age of almost universal corruption, had made Portia to plead like an angel, had drawn the character of Duncan.

Har::Ijo in Council. The Wasbingt-jn Correspondent of the Chicago Times gives the following account of a Xegro Convention held in that city early in August : The Negro Convention, bold here on Thursday night, was decidedly the richest affair of the kind ever witnessed iu Wash ington. The Convention was held in ruin- sunnee of the mlvieo of Charles Sumner, who recently assured the negroe? bore that Con gre would purely give them the right tr ride in the city railroad ears on a footing of icrftvt equality with white people. The church in which thi " Convention" was held was crowded with blacks, and the proceed ings would give one a fair idea of pandemo nium. There were a few intelligent negroes present, who, if thev had lieen left alone, would have managed the affair with com parative decorum. But evcrr negro in the crowd was elated at the idea that he was just as good as the best man present. All wanted to speak ; and all to speak at once. What ever wa proposed by one, a aoaen ieit it their duty to oppose. Several conceited Pom ppys continually rose to 44 points of order," " questions or privilege," " previous ques tion," &c., without having the most remote idea of what they were saying, and only anx ious to see their names nfgnnt in the Mar the next dav in which they were gratified. The Chairman roared and bellowed and stamped and pounded, ordered " Mr. Johns ing to take Ins seat ;" blandly informed Mr. Taliaferro ( great heavens I) that 44 dat ar pint hah been 'decided, sah told Mr. Syphax " dat am not ue oucsshun, sail : ue cnair will putdequesshun agin called out above the din. " De Convention must cqmo to or der I want you to get straight 1" and final ly, despairing of his task, abdicated his seat incontinently and called Mr. Slado to fill it. Then Messrs. Taliaferro (I)andSvphax,and Johnsiug, and Cruiser, aud Briscoe, and Jones, and a dozen others, leaped to their feet and poured forth question after question, and motion after motion. It was impossible to make head or tail out of any thing that was said or done. Finally Mr. Benjamin McCoy, a very modest and intelligent man, was allowed to read a memorial to Congress that had been prepared. Before doing so he administered a very proper rebuke to the darkeys for their uproarous and dtsgracctui conduct in stamping and shouting. Tho memorial asks Congress, plainly and squarely, to give them the right to vote, and to confer tinon them full eaualitv of political rights with the white people of the District 1 of Columbia. There is iittlo doubt that one of the first acts of Congress, in December next, will be to grant this very modest re-1 quest ; and then nothing except tho vote ot Andrew Johnson will save the seat of Gov ernment of this proud Republic from being controlled by negro votes. To this complex ion already have we been brought by the meddling and mischievous Abolitionists of ivew England, The Last Doctrine. The Radicals in some of the Eastern States are now taking the ground that President Lincoln's Eman cipation Proclamation is law to the fullest extent, and that the freedom it conferred upon the Rlaves is freedom in its largest sonse. Whoever curtails them of the right to vote and hold office takes upon himself to annul the Proclamation and remand them to slavery in a partial sense. If this be bo. why pass amendments to tho Constitution? A Western editor sums up the peculiarities.of a cotcmporary as iouows s ie is too lasy to earn meal, and too mean to enjoy one.

Oeu. and Pro. Mar The -cgro Holiday. The negroes in various parts of the coun try celebrated the anniversary of West India emancipation, on the 1st of August, with more than the usual zest. Alxut the only effect of that emancipation has been the re duction of the country to a wilderness and the negroes to barbarians. Numerous ad dresses were deliver! at the celebrations, some of them containing evidences of the handiwork of ihe h-ading Abolitionist"5, and breathing the extreme spirit of malignity and antagonism, which abolition lias given the colored race. In New York, Wni. II. Day addressed his colored brethren, and did not hesitate to attempt to dragoon and threat en the whito penvlo upon the negro suffrage quetiou. lie said : " Fear m a powerful ally. Fear cave us two hundred thousand bavnnets. Fenr gavf us the freedom we col cbratf to-dny." And he then go.-s on to pay that th negroes, with their two hdred thousand bti;,v-net. given .them by Jear, pos sess ' a gn ;st'-r knowledge of rights than is supposed, and a ufrpotifiwi tu-f V be (raipphd tipoti!" 44 1 no not,' he alls, "look for justice to-dav or to-morrow, but the next uay. as surely ns The i"uryear.s rt war nave passed as the itahira! life and the two htta drl t?iomttn! M-.irk 3fmTri. rrixr armed, have sprung from the brain of the white Jupiter of tlos land." Win. W. Brown, a colored indivMral, who mad the spewh to the negroes r.t Farmingtoii, Mass., illustrat ed the same idea when lie said : 44 If the Government fails t protect the black man, 1 hop v? xlt'iU hnv Vonntvn over again. ItrilI;o down S-ju'h nnd hfJp 1hcm in the trrrfc. ' llK'o expressions convey an idea of the cfFot't the Abolition fanaticism is hav ing upon the negroes, and may well 'produce forebodings of a terrible catastrophe result ing from the attempt to establish an unnatu ral equality between different races. Peril of a Revivalist. An anecdote is told of Fennv the 41 revivalist," and a caa- aler, to the following effect : He was 44 holding forth" in Rochester, and in walking along the canal one day, came across a boatman who was swearing furiously. Marching up, he confronted him and abruptly asked : , 44 Sir, do you know where you are going?" The unsnspeeting man innocently replied that he was going up the canal on the John ny Sands. 44 No, sir, you are not," continued Fenny : 44 you are going to hell faster than a canal boat can convey you." ,The boatman looked at him in astonish ment for a minute, and then returned the same'question : 44 Sir, do you knowwhereyou are going?" 44 1 expect to go to heaveh," 44 No, sir, you are going into the canal!" And suiting the action to the word he took Fenny in his arms and tossed him into the murky waters, where he would have drowned had not the boatman relented and fished him out. Nullification in Illinois. Tho Chicago Times says : Among the many foolish and shameful acts of the last Legislature of Illinois we say shameful, because the act repealed was in obedience to. constitutional requirement, and the repeal was therefore nullification of the Constitution was one repealing the law for bidding tho emigration of negroes into this I State. This same species of nullification the Abo litionists of Oregon propose to commit in the extra session to bo called, or in the next re gular session of the Legislature. They can nullify, and it is all right, according to their theory ; but it was treason in South Caro lina. ' The Negro Glorified. At the great Abo lition Convention in Massachusetts recently, Wendell Phillips, in a speech, thus wanton ly insulted tho white soldiery at the expense of the negro troops. He said : tba crisis, what is the nesrro ? Well, I say, in the face of all prejudice1, that amid the gallantry, tne patience, tne nero ism of this war, the negro bears the palm, (Groat Applause.) T ixixG Goverxment Bonds.- Both houses of the New Hampshire Legislature have pass ed the bill taxing the income on United States bonds 25 per cent., and it is now a law. Remarking upon this, the Hartford Times says : 41 The people all over the country are going to demand that capitalists who invest in United States bonds shall bear I their just proportion of taxes."

The "Washington eorrerpondent of the New York Herald furnishes the following : The war having eea.ed, the numher of prisoner confined in the famous Old Capitol prison, in this city, has greatly diminished. Xot more than two hundred and forty are remaining within its walls, of whom onlv fix or eiirht are rebel? Capt. Vf art. of AndcrFOtiville prion notoriety, who is shortly to be court mariialcd. and a few officers of the old rebel Stonewall brigade, who were implicated to some degTec by the testimony brought cat upon the conspifHoy trial. There are some fortv citizen ! prisoner? confined on various charge?, and the rest are soldiers under seDtene? of eonrt martial or awaiting triah During; tbc time the buildings which constitute the Old Capitol have been devoted to its present a?e, there have been, altogether, nearly twenty thousand prisoners incarcerated therein, and at one time filtcen thousand rebel prisoners of war. Upon the day of the assassina tion eight hundred rebel officers were held in du rance. There have been five executions within its tifikefur r banging and one by shooting 1 with musketry. The offences thus punished were ! three for murder, one as a spy, desertion, assault and battery and attempt at T3pe. Many attempts j have beet! made to escape ; only six have been sue- ce--ful is tac wh-ilc time. An old Methodist, verv gxd at responses. which were not always well-meant, went one day to Jear a popular preacher. The preacher, usually lucid, was rather perplex ed, and felt it himself. He labored through the first part, and then said : 44 Brethren, I have reached the conclusion of my firft point." ; 44 Thank God V' ejaculated the old man, who set before him profoundly interested, in a voice that was heard in every part of tho charch. The last part of thr.t sermon was harder to preach than the first. Punch says this is by a brute : Why is a beard like common sense? Because no wo man possesses it. a AGENTS FOR THIS PAPER.
