JHost Emportant Letter from the Commis

Bounties.
Tho Sccrotary of tho Troasury, in a letter to
Bou. D. A. Wells, Chairman of the United Statoa
Hevenuo Commission, Btates that tho bill reported
in CongrcsB for tho equalization of .bounties will
' rcnuiro an expenditure of threo hnadrod million
dollars, thui requiring an additional annual pay
ment for interoBt of Bonie oighteon milUona dol
lars and askB, "what effect this proposed in
croaso of tho national dobt and annual taxation is
likely, in your opinion, to havo upon tho finances
and development of the country, and what
changes may bo nocessitatod thereby in our
future revenue system and polioy." Mr. ' Wells
replies :
Washington, April 23, lBC^
Bin: In reply to your note of the 19th, relative
to the Bubjeot of appropriations involving addi
tional loans or increased taxationj ' permit mo to
fjponV without reserve.
Tho country is now passing through a critical
period of its financial experience, and it seems
essential that tho proposition should be proclaim
ed and maintained, that tho borrowing period for
the nation has passed; and that henceforth, and
until another extraordinary emergency arises,
tho national expenditures are to be mot by tax
ation exclusively. Nothing less can satisfy tho
holders of the publio debt; nothing loss can sus
tain national .oredlt at such a standard as will
keep open to the nation the resource of loans for
futuro emergencies.
Tho oxistiug.publio debt of the United Sta'.os
{.taking accumulated woalth and rato of intercut
into consideration) is now comparatively largor
than that or any of the States of the Old World,
and is only oxceoded in actual amount, by that
of Greet Britain; It is now proposed to increase
this enormous debt to such an extent that the
annual Interest on the addition will bo nearly
equal to one-fourth of tho averago annual ox
? enditare? of the whole Government during the
ecade prior to the commencement of the re
bellion.
The largest amount of revenue ever drawn from
tho British neo ule in any one year?irrespootivo of
losnB?has never exceeded threo hundred and
eoventy millions dollars, while tho amount of
revenue which the United Spates has drawn dur
ing tho first three quarters' of tho carrent fiscal
year?by the various forms of direct and indirect
taxation?has been four hundred and ten millions,
or at the rato of upwards of fivo hundred and
forty millions per annum. This immense sum,.in
oppobition to tho settled policy of all other na
tions, aud in defiance of their experience, has been
taken mainly from the industry of the country.
The present large roceipts of revenue cannot,
however, be accepted an any Bure indications of
the future; aud so long as they are drawn mainly
from taxes on industry thoy are no satisfactory in
dications of the prosperity of the country. For
the next fiscal year, moreover, a large falling off
in receipt?, arising from diminished importations,
?hangen in values and quantities of industrial pro
ducts, and from other causes, may be expected.
This deficit oannot now be easily estimated, but
that it be large oannot be doubted, especially if
the country, as nowseema probable, is to be visit
ed by pestilence.
It would soem as If tho mero statement of theso
fact? ought to sutficeas an argument against any
immediate inoroaso of our enormous burden of
debt and taxation.
If, howover. we further consider the manner
and distribution of the taxation by which the
nation is at present raising its revenues, tho ar
gument becomes even more cogent and unan
swerable.
Ae is well known, the exemption from taxation
at present in the United State? of any form of ca
pital, or any procesa or result of industry, is the
exception rather than the rule. This system ne
cessarily involves a most extensive duplication of
taxes, and this in turn entails and maintains an
undue enhancement of prices; a decrease both of
production and consumption, and consequently
of wealth; a restriction of exportations and of
foreign commerce; and a large increase in the
machinery and expense of the revenue collection.
Jt needs no gift of prophecy or trained financial
intellect to determine the result ot a persistency
in auoh a polioy; for nations, like individuals,
have limits to their resources; and nations, like
individual?, may havo their patriotism even taxod
beyond their endurance.
A reduction and equalisation of national to. ? ?.
tlon has therefore become not merely expedient
but imperative. Ciroumstancos will not, however,
admit of a reduction sufficient to give all the re
lief demanded by the nation being made at once.
Hitherto, as has been already stated, a very large
tiortiou of tho revenue has been derived from the
axes on industry, or the oapital which directly
supports industry, and comparatively small part
from ?pirita, tobacco, liquors, legacies and buc
cesaions, and other sources, which all experience
has demonstrated may be taxed moat heavily
without? in any way arresting the progress of
national development. Indeed, it may be assert
ed that laws aumoiont to insure tho oolleation of
any large revenue from theao latter sources have
not yot been enaotod?the existing laws being in
many respects inoperative upon tho statute book.
Until, therefore, new |a.ws can bo enaotod. and
Iheir efflelonoy proved by expor??nc?, many o'f the
worst features of the present revenue system
must be rotained and endured.
In order to at present raise by taxation a sum
snfiioierit to pay an annual interest of six per
cent, on an addition of two hundred and fifty mil
lions to the principal of the publio debt, viz., fif
teen millions, the present rate of taxation must
be maintained on the following articles, or their
equivalents, the receipts for the fiscal year 1865
being assumed as the basis of tho estimate :
Hats, caps, bonnets, coats, voats, pants, over
coats, shirts, collars, Blocking?*, gloves, mittens,
boots, shoeB, moccasins, Bait, cheap soap, starch,
paints of all kinds, paper of all descriptions,
cooks, magazines, pamphlets, maps, engravings,
and all printed -matter',* ploughs, harrows, cultiva
tor;*, rakes, winnowing mills, hay and straw cut
ters, trunks, harnesses, lime, cements, building
etones, bricks, stoves, pottery ware, and window
glass, the revenue from the direct tax on all these
articles for the fiscal year ending June 30, 18G5,
not having buen ju excess of fifteen millions of
dollars.
If, howover, it is urged that the Government
can Afford to relieve alt the above enumerated
articles, and many others, from taxation, and still
pay the interest on the proposed addition to the
debt, I reply that tho condition of the revenue
will not at present allow of an exemption of all
the necessities of life and nil tho common forms of
industry from taxation ; and th it no principle of
political economy is better established than that a
tax upon one of the necessities or indispensable
forma of industry is in fact a tax upon all. "*
Under the above circumstances, thorefore, it
would seem as if nothing but the salvation of the
nation itself could warrant any immediato in
crease of the national liabilities or the people';?
taxes. - r

Tee "Powiutan" Estate.?The Mobile Register,
noticing the sale of Mr. Robert May rs seat near
Bichmond, known as "Powhatan," says: ...
It excites sad thoughts. The beautiful estate
referred to?more pr??perly known as "P.twhatan
Beat"- jiiKt below Richmond, has been in p-ps-tes
tsion of tho M ?y o family for wo kuow n??t h'?w
many genorathuis, and has always been tho abode
of a liberal, ruined, and cordial hospitality,
The tradition about Oapt. ?smith is justly char
acterized as "dubious," although a large stone I-*
shown in tho yard, on which the English adven
turer's head is supposed t havo been laid when
he was rescued by the Virginia princess. It. Is
scarcely possible, according to Smith's narrative,
that the incident onuld have occurred on that par
ticular spot. There is little or no doubt, however,
that it was one of tho placuB of residence of Kin*;
Powhatan, aud h less "dubious" tradition maltes
it the pi.uro of his sepulture.
"Powhatan Seat" only ahareB the fate of many
othor fine old ?outhoru j estate. In' passing' ,ipto

joyed the large-hearted hospitality of Its former
owners will read the above announcement with
more thai) ordinary em?itions. ?The m?morisa) of
many a vanished hour will longTinger among it?
airy halls, its shkdy walks, its, grassy lawns, Its
Une old trees, and its enchanting views of tho
noble river that winds thr.ugb the valley bolow.

Confession und Dcutli of un Army Claup
laln.
M. M. PoMEnoT, tbo editor of tbo La Cross?
(Wis.) Democrat, gives tho following iloath bod
scene, which ho wae called to witness in hie re
cent vi-it to Chicago :
Tho Rev. Henry Clrinnanl, an ex-array chaplain
who loft off expounding Bible? and recruiting for
tho Saviour, and by indorsing tho nigger and abo
lit ioniats became an army chaplain in ono of tho
Wisconsin regiment h, passed from lifo to a home
beyond a blessed immortality, the 01 h or day.
A physician had called on him two or three
times a day for a month, doctoring him for an
aguo brought on while stealing cotton in Arkan
sas while with O en. Ourtis. On learning that tho
ex-minister and ox-ohaplain would hardly live tie?
night out, we called with the physician.
In a little wooden looking room not over twelve
feet Bquare, in an obscure boarding house iu
Cltioago wo found tho invalid. The room was baro
of furniture except a poor bed, a little dirty wash
stand, two wood-bottom chairs, an old trunk, a
pine table, on which was aproad a newspaper on
which lay an old Bible, a pair of old snuffers,
some pill boxee and such stuff. The dying man
was propped up in bod, while a faithful uegro
woman sat on the foot of the bod. As wo
entered, ho raised a littlo and aeked the doctor
who he bad brought with him. On being told he
sank back, closed his oyes?rallied a little and
aaid : "Perhaps it is as will. Ho might as well
know it aa any ono."
And he proceeded to mako his dying statement,
which wae in these words, as we took them in our
memorandum book as tho physician requested :
"My namo in Henry Glannard; I am forty-one
years old. I am a Methodist minister?at least I
was one. I was once happy and contented, aud
loved Christ, my Master, with all the zeal a Chris
tian overbad. At last I grow cold iu religion,
selfish and onviouB of the good fortunes of other a,
I wantod to make money aud to have some fuu,
so I thought I would be a Bepublican politician.
I began by preaching polities from the pulpit, and
praying for tho negro. It paid me in money, but
I lost influence at the Throno of Ora SO. But JftUd
not care for that, if I oould only have inlluenco
with tho Republican party. I forgot Christ and
became interested in the negro. I had influence
with a fow mombers -of my church, and talked
politics to them. I was paid by oflice-seekors to
lufluouco Chriatlans.
"I found politics paid better fan religion, and I
worked for tho chaplaincy of a rogimeut and got
it. Then I let religion go and went to war. Thoro
I vfrote letters home denouncing Democrats as
copperheads. And I stole cotton, and silver ware,
and pictures, and books, and dresses for my wife
and aiBters, and horses and mnlt-s for my brothers,
and a piano for the Governor who gave me my
commission, and a gold watch for my captain, anil
a Jut, of household furniture to Bend to my
colonel. And I robbod tho soldiers of BtulT sont
down to them to use while in hospital, and I had
my share of goods stolon from the sanitary fairs,
and made lots of money.
"But I was not happy. I drank whiskey with
the hoys when away from home, and indulged in
excesses not worth ; mentioning, and laid up quite
a pile of money. And I was taken sick whits out
stealing cotton from a plantation whoro a, widow
ludv lived. I had coaxed her niggers to run away,
and they are all dead now. When tho war was
ended I came home to Wisconsin, but could not
stay thoro. 80 I came to Chicago. Aud I grew
sick. And I have got to dio. I have called on
Christ?I havo prayed to God, but somehow I
cannot get relief for my mol. The door of mercy
seems shut against- me. I forsook religion for
politics, and now God has forsaken me. I pray to
my Saviour, but ho don't hear me. I talk to this
faithful negro woman?she says, 'Yes, massai'
and that is all I can get out of her. I know I
oan'tlivo long. I feel that I am dying. I feel
certain that I am going to hell. I want these
things written down as a warning to others who
forget Christ for politics. I foel that the uegro
can't save?that Christ won't Bave mo. I was un
faithful to my religion aud am forgotten. I was
faithful to the neero; but, alas I the negro cant
help the where I want help; he can't caso my I
guilty so?l. I am going to hell, and I know it, I
expect to meet many persons there who-forgot re
ligion for politics. I do not expect-*to see you
again in this world or the next, but I want this
confession printed."
And thus died the .Rev. Henry Clannard 1

An Important Decision.
The Richmond Whig calls attention to the fol
lowing important decision, and givea its views in
relation to it:
It has been generally supposed that legal in
struments were not valid' unless they have the
prescribed revenue stamps upon them. But Judge
Hoar, of the 8upreme Court of Massachusetts,
one of the most eminent - jurists ia this country,
has decided that this is -hot the case. The New
Bedford Mercury says: "In a case before the
Supreme Judicial Court, in Tauuton, the question
of the validity of a deed t-> which no revenue
etamp.was aiTixod wasiraised. Judge Hoar unhesi
tatingly decided that the absence of tho stamp
does not invalidate' the deed. Ho questioned
whether CongresB so intended in framing the in
ternal revenue law,* but was clear iu the opinion
that a statute of the United States undertaking to
invalidate an insirumeut which by the lairs of .be
State is valid,' whnld be unconstitutional. The
Government may exact a penalty for failure to af
fix a stamp, but.canuot make void the instrument
for tho lack 00 the stamp."
.?rjeupr??ciCJ.fi??n?(?]7C"?8 knalagousto thatde
ciaod ?'y the UpitedS-tatea Supreme Court in the
0%se ot tbo -".?s?achuaelts liquor Bellers. They
Contended that they were empoweied to carry on
their traffic in' violation of State law, by virtue of
paying a Federal tax. Whereas the Federal Gov
ernment lias no right and does not presume to
override Stite law and grant licenses, ont, finding
a biiBincBHi prosecuted, it exorcises the power of
taxing that business. So in the oaee of a written
instrument authorized by a State. The Federal
Government possesses no constitutional right to
interfere?'with its validity, but finding it in exis
tence it ?may exercise the power of taxing that
existence.

The .Bureau Denounced by. Bennett.?The
H*rald;'at Thursday, saya :
Our- correspondence from all parts of the South
ern country continues to furnish us with illustra
tions In regard to the workings of tho Freedmen's
Bureau anything hut. creditable to thatradical In?
Btitp?on. This Bureau, from all the intelligence
we can glean, appears to bo nothing moro nor less
than? a revival of the odious inter-State slave sys
tem, and the huge monopoly by Government em
E lot-sea of the profits arising therefrom. It is
ate in I to both white h and blacks; to the former
for the reason that it maintains a military tyranny
.which is a sourco of continual irritation to all par
ties, and acconplisheB nothing beneficial in the
way of pacification and harmony; and it is detest
ed by the blacks because la reviv.es slavery in its
most offensive form?namely, the transfer of no
gro families from State to State, and every remove
'Another step beyond civilization. The mission
(?that Gen. Bteedman has undertaken, to ascertain
the true stato of things iu the South, is ouc of
'great importance, and its results will be looked
forward to with groat anxiety.
[Gen. Stbedman is said to have formed an opin
ion decidedly unfavorable to the Bureau ]

Successful Editor.?An English writer says
what is very trae, that "a good editor, a compe
tent nowepipcr conductor, is like a general or a
poet, born, not made. Exercise and experience
givo facility, but the qualification is innate, or it
is never manifested. On tho London daily papers
all the great historians, novelists,'poets, essay
ists, and the writers of travels, havo boon
tried, and nearly every one failed. 'I can,' said
tho late editor of the London Times, 'find any
number of men of gonius to write for me, but
very seldom one man of common sonso.' Nearly
all successful editors tire of this description. A
good editor seldom writes much for hie paper
no read-?, judges, sole?te, dict?t oh, alters, and
combinen, and to dp all thia well ho has but littlo
timo for composition. To wrlto for a paper is one
thing?to edit a paper another."
