Mr. Reed has disappeared. . -Among the schemes of the Radicals, which - are to be pushed in Januar?, ls one to increase the power of the party in the Senate, with a view to effect changes which may be made politi? cally against them in that body in 1871 sud 1873. This is to be brought about by cutting up Texas In two, ir not three, new States. When the Texas delegation are all admitted, and the state is fully represented ia Congress, the plan of division Will then bc agitated in both Houses. -Street cars in New York city, according to a hew regulation, will stop for the admission or pas? sengers at the street corners, thc odd numbered .^s?ar? halting at the eveu numbered cross streets, anQ the ev?n num'wrcd cars at the odd numbered streets. In this way thc cars will pass over the distance of two squares without halting, and the period for each round trip will be diminished to three-fourths of the present lime, and the strain on the horses will bc lessened. -A Chicago paper tells this story about Car? lotta Patti: A certain shoe dealer or that city, who to as well a passionate lover or music, was particularly demonstrative at a recent concert in Insisting that Mlle. Patti should repeat one or her songs. Thc lady, who has sharp as well as very beautiful eyes, noticed this. The next day she bad occasion to purchase a pair or gait er?.and happen? ed to buy of the gentleman who had been so ardent on the evening before. Haring selected the arti c?es and paid for them, she turned to the vender of shoes, and in a very pleasant, quiet and matter of-fact way, said : "Now, please, give me a pair of gaiters.'" "Give you a pair of-!" "Cer? tainly: give me a pair." "Why, what do yon mean ?" "I mean that you bought a ticket at the concert last evening, and then demanded Hutt I should give you double what you paid for. Ami asking more than yon did?" It is to be supposed that Tat tl got her gaiters. Something Ntw. Charleston is threatened with a new and strange system of taxation ! During thc year ending August 31, 1869, the income of the city, ordinary and extraordinary, was SP 14,603, of which amount only about 546.000 was derived from licenses or taxes on trades and professions, the remainder being mainly made up of the real estate tax, and the tax on licenses and gross receipts in business. It was clearly the intention of the new State Government to require that taxes should be levied on ac? quired property only, at its actual value, and during the administration of Mayor Clark it was intended to change the tax system, the City Attorney having, if we mis? take not. advised the City Council that a tax on gr033 receipts wa3 of doubtful con? stitutionality. A change was not practica? ble ai the tim?, and the first Radical gov? ernment which Charleston has hail, has thc honor of framing a new system, which may conform to the raw and to the practice of other cities, but is evidently in some im? portant particulars foolish as well as unjust. The general plan has not yet been fully de? veloped, but we judge from the nature and comprehensiveness of the biff-to regulate li "censes, 'published in THE NEWS of ye3ter day.that it is intended to draw tho bulk of the city revenue from licenses and a tax on real estate. The proposed license law does not ta:: cold water orfreslt air. it is true, but it embraces all classes and professions, from a retail apothe? cary to the keeper of a sailor's boarding-house. The licenses vary in amount. A barber shop pays S10, a broker $10. a butcher and con? tractor S2?. a dentist $2.">, a gas-fitter $2?, a lawyer $10, a grist-mill $2 j, a restaurant $25, a shoemaker and tailor S10, and then comes this clause: "MECHANICS, masters of all trades, TWEXTV-FIVE DOLLARS." In the opinion of a Radical City Council, if we have understood the wording of tho bill aright, the mechanic who earns fifteen or twenty dollars a week eau aflord to pay a license fee of twenty-five dollars, while a bar? ber-shop pay only ten dollars, while a shoe? maker or tailor pays only ten dollars, while a lawyer, making, perhaps, tenor twelve thous? and dollars a year pays only ten dollars. Tili?' is thc dignity of labor with a vengeance. The unfortunate mechanic whose wage3 m no more than enough to keep body and soul together, must pay two-and-a-half times as much as a lawyer, and must pay as much as a shopkeeper, whose sales do not exceed $10,000; as much as a builder or contractor, as mu-b u3 a dentist or gas-fitter, as much as a job printing office, as much us a grist? mill, or a thriving restaurant. This is Radi? cal justice-a Radical appreciation of the rights of the workingman. Nor is this all. Tho tax paid under the present law by merchants and others on their gross receipts, will, under tho new bill, be very much reduced, while the deficit will be made up by increased taxation of the small dealers. Atogether, the City Council, in deciding last night to take no further ac? tion upon this measure until it has been "talked over" in caucus, showed a discre? tion as wise as it was unexpected. Thc Red River Rebellion. A special telegram to the Chicago Tri? bune from St. Paul says, that the declaration of independence ef the Provisional Govern? ment of Rupert's Land and the Northwest Territory lias been received from Red River. It is signed John B. Ruce, President, and Louis Rielle. Secretary. The preamble of the document, which is quite voluminous, recites that thc Republic's authority com? mands the obedience and respect of its sub? jects; that the people, when they have no government, are free to adopt whatever form it sees lit : that the people of Rupert's Land have heretofore respected thc authority of Hie company of adventurers known as the Hudson Bay Company, which circumstan? ces had placed over them; that this govern? ment was far from answering the wants of the people; that that Government, having abandoned them by transferring to a strange power the sacred authority confided to it, the people of Rupert's Laud and thc North? west Territory became free from all allegi? ance to said government : that they refuse to recognize the authority of Canada; that in sending back Governor McDougall and his companions, coming in the name of Canada to rule them with the rod of despo? tism, they have but acted in conformity to that sacred right which commands every citizen to resist enslavement; that they will continue to oppose the establishment of Ca? nadian authority under the announced form. The proclamation concludes as follows: "Furthermore, we do declare and proclaim, in the name of the people of Rupert's Land and the Northwest Territory, that we have established a Provisional Government, and hold it to be the only lawful authority now in existence in Rupert's Land, which claims the obedience and respect of its people; that meanwhile we hold ourselves in readiness to enter into such negotiations with the Cana? dian Government a? maybe favorable to the good government and prosperity of this peo? ple. In support of (his declaration, relying on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge on oath our lives, our for? tunes, and our sacred honor." The Pifs? cor? respondence states that the otter to treal with Canada is on terms which the Canadian Government will not be likely to assent to. The real programme of tho leaders is a fur more Radical one. hut ns the English speak? ing portion of the population lin ve as yet no delegation in the council., they do not want to announce their designs until thc co? operation and unity of the whole settlement has been secured, after which they will make a bold .-trike for independence. Colonel Dennis, Surveyor-tieiicral of thc Dominion, who organized the Indians in support of Governor McDougall, has form illy disband? ed his forces, and in a proclamation, ordered all the loyal party to cease further action under the appeal to anns. The stone fort bas accord'n?ly le.'h aban Urned. Colonel Dennis :s still a fugitive. Another letter says: "When the party were recently cap? tured a', tlie- rcs' !e*ee ol' Dr. Schultz, lhere were no fires in the stoves, and an examina? tion disclosed large quantities of powder ami cartridges concealed in the stoves and stovepipes. Arrn3 and ammunition were also found under the floors. Had lires been lighted in thc stores, the building and its captors would have been blown to atoms.' This" declaration of independence may prove, perchance, an important political event. The region covered by the act ex? tends on thc east and west from Labrador to the Rocky Mountains; on tho north and south from the American and British boun? dary line to thc Arctic .Sea. If thc declara? tion shall bc accepted as thc expression or the purposes and feelings of the territory under the proprietary jurisdiction of thc Hudson Bay Company, it will include the whole country from Lake Superior to thc western shore of Vancouver's Island. The license to trade exclusively granted to Hie company, extended to the coast line of thc Pacific, and in terms embraced that island. Some of the Radical press are strongly in favor of this ' new rebellion."' Thc New York Tribune says : ..Now what is the duty of the United Stales to our neighbors in Rupert's Land who have set up the standard of independence anti laid the corner-stone of self-government ? Mani, fest ly, our first duty is to observe strict neu? trality in the contest that may ensue. Gov? ernor McDougall says that the new Dominion and England will not part with the vast terri? tory of Rupert's Land, without making ti fight for it. That light cannot be made this winter without using our territory for the movement of troops, munitions of war and supplies. Not one soldier, not one pound of commissary or quartermaster's stores, should bc permitted to cross the States of Maine. Michigan, W'iscon in or Minnesota, to bo used in suppressing the r?volution in the Selkirk settlements. If the British or New Dominion Governments shall apply force to reduce the Rupert colo? nists to loyal subjection, let them mareil their troops and wagon their supplies through Bril sh territory. The sympathy of the people of the United States wi" inevitably ami rightfully o out to the people of Rupert's Land, in I heir effort to achieve independence. And they will earnestly insist that our government shall ob? serve such neutrality in their behalf, as to rigorously abstain from thc least aid to lite British or Canadian Governments, in thc si nig? gle that may ensue to stifle this new American revolution." Thc Fourth Congressional District. Our Washington correspondcrit writes that tho House of Repr?sent?es, when it reas? sembles in January, will call up as a privil? eged question the contested election case of Mr. Wallace against Mr. Simpson, from the Fourth Congressional District of this State, and will have it decided at once. It is understood that thc committee on elec? tions will confina thoir previous action in the premises, by declaring Mr. Simpson to be entitled to the seat. Mr. Simpson was the Democratic candidate, and a Iud ma? jority of 42'Jl votes. .for Sale. FOR SALE.-SIX-HORSE ENGINE FOR SALE, built bv Messrs. J. M. BASON A BRO., and ex'ra finished for the Knir.
