He has broken them .once, and announces that he intends to keep on until his claim is paid. -General Sherman writes to General Sheri? dan that the winter campaign against the Piegans was undertaken at the request of Gen? eral Sully and those in the" Interior Depart? ment, and for them now to shift the blame is .unfair. -Intelligence from Caraccas to February ,v5th asserts that the disturbances now extend through the entire republic of Venezuela, and that the government of Monagas is in a crltl .cal condition. President Monagas, with 1000 -.-soldiers, is reported to have marched to Coro rto attack General Blanco. -A bul has been introduced In therNew York Assembly defining the rights of married men, .and equalizing the rights of man and wife. The bill provides that a husband having chll " dren by his wife shall have au estate for life In property left by her. He shall not be liable for debts contracted by bis wife before marriage, nor roi debts contracted bj- ber without his consent, except for the support of herself and children. He may seU his real estate without the consent of his wife^and at his death thc wife shall be entitled only to dower In his real -estate. -While Senator Revels ls comporting him- 1 ?seit with true dignity in the United States 1 Senate, or delivering lectures in Baltimore, his i countrymen In Africa are devouring each other i with true cannibal relish. In a small African ? hamlet, called Young Town, a native chief, named Yellow, captured two women belonging ( to the Ecreeka tribe, and in honor of this mar tia! achievement a "grand play" was held. On tho morning after the capture, the younger of * tne two captives, a girl about fourteen years of ' age, was killed, cooked, chopped and eaten by 1 this monster, Yellow, and his savage confreres. < The other captive was in Irons, and was to t form the snbject of a future feast. Strange as j it may seem, while these occurrences were taking place, one of her Majesty's gunboat -, was lying not far distant from the town, with ?he "saucy ensign" flying at the peak. At Wydah, the seaport capital of Dahomey's king- ( 4lom, a European, who was engaged in trade Herc, has recently been subjected to most ' .ci ucl punishment; the poor feilow was stripped 1 .to his singlet and trowscrs; the sleeves ol' the 1 former were rolled up above his elbows, and I his trowscrs above bis knees. He was then ] tied to a slake and exposed to the fierce burn- , 3ng rays of a mid-day tropical ? sun tor several j hours; and many more such horrible atrocities ? are perpetrated upon inoffensive people 'by } these "men and brothers" at the fountain head .of the African race. - -John La Mountain, thc famous aeronaut, died at South Bend, Indiana, on the 14lh of 1 February. La Mountain's life was full of idarlhg adventures and of Incidents, which : -were frequently more interesting than agreea- < ble. He was among the most fearless aeronauts in this or any country, and pursued his chosen profession with a higher object than to merely make money. A pet. theory of La Mountain was that there was a cunent in the atmos? phere corresponding with the Gulf Stream in the ocean, and flowing steadily from west to east. He was ambitious to be the first aero? naut to cross the Atlantic, taking advantage of this current, and built the famous balloon "At? lantic" for this purpose, and tested his theory by a land voyage first ; his party were in tho air over nine hours, and while pass? ing over Lake Ontario a tornado seized -upon bis craft, and it was left a wreck In the woods in Jefferson County, New York. The last se? rious adventure of La Mountain occurred in Michigan, and probably hastened his death. An impatient crowd cast him off before he was ready, without an overcoat or Instruments, and the Yalvc-rope ti.-d" several feet above thc .basket. He shot like a rocket up Into a heavy cloud ofmist and sleet, which froze the valve board fast, lie climbed, with frost-bitten fingers, up the net-work, and tore the baUoon with his teeth. The opening extended so far that the balloon collapsed, discharged its gas, and fell with great velocity from a height of .nearly two miles. The aeronaut was picked --up benumbed and insensible, though not dange? rously injured. .His age was 41. -The gibbet and the hangman have Just rid the world of a brace of hardened wretches in Pennsylvania. On Wednesdy, Albert Von Do? renborg and Gottlieb Bohner, alias Dutch ?Charley, suffered the extreme penalty of the law for thc murder of Peter 3eightal, a larmer of Huntingdon, Pa., his wife, and a little boy who lived with them. Alter their conviction, Bonner's principal study was how to escape death on the gallows; he feigned sleep on one . occasion, and, while the guard's back was turned, sprang upon him with the force and .ferocity of a tiger, and with a screw, taken from his bedstead, knocked him momentarily senseless^ the djjiaperatc mau then rushed throughrihe^ t?&rrn?orto a cot on which til .deputy sheriflfVi?sually slept, and where a^load /od pJsiolJwas^waysSkept, but before securing rW'tourdelpus woapoh, the guard, recov" * waa? upOaTflnj; a.de,sperate fight ensued w Varying snccess^u?trKthc arrival of a prison er' on the scene, who, w'1'1 11 large iron poker beat the "murderer over the head 'until -from sheer - exhunstlonr he succumbed," "and was taken back to his cell. When led out fe t execution, both prisoners ascended the-ecaffold I with a firm tread, but when the platform was reached Dodenburg was noticed to quiver con siderably. Religious exercises were gone through with, occupying a quarterof an hour In the meantime their feet had been bound and both men placed on the drop. At thU mo raent Bodenburg turned to his companion and imploringly asked : "Ara I not innocent "No." replied the other; "we wore both in the house ; both killed, both guilty, both die together." "Oh, God,'' said the other "you can say that at the last moment? Y ain't human.'" The ropes were then placed about their necks, when Bodenburg cried ont "0 Lord beyond the skies, take my soul into Thy Kingdom." The black caps were pulled over their faces, and at 12.40 P. IL the upright was jerked out, the trap started, and the mur derers fell about three feet, dying without struggle. Thc Inwmt Tax. The income tax is an outrageous impo3i tion. It relieves the rich and oppresses the poor. According to the present programme of taxation, the merchant who makes and spends from ten to twenty thousand dollars a year may pay nothing to the government He may contend that he make3 no "gains But his poor bookkeeper, who supports family of t \ children on two thousand dol lars a year, is required to pay fifty dollars OB his "income." The big fly breaks throug the web iu which the little fly is taken cap tive. Now it is manifest that nothing can be more unfair in legislation. Just govern ments live upon the superfluous means of the people. They do not levy upon "the chil "dren's bread." Yet this is what our pre cious Congress is doing now. One is treated as a criminal who lives by the brain and by the pen. Grant has great respect for capt tal; he "would create a monied aristocracy if he could; and he is encouraged by the pre cedents of the party to which he belongs Under the present regime the bondholder prospers, his employee starves. What makes this discrimination more odi ons is the fact that it is unconstitutional The tax was imposed in 1862. By an act of March, 1867, it was limited in its duration to the year ending December 31, 1869. To extend this odious and oppressive tax be yond the close of the last year, Mr. Schenck has introduced into the House of Represen tative3 a sort of snap-legislation which is worthy of the occasion and of the man This gentleman, who is chairman of the Com mittee of Ways and Means, knows very well that a continued income tax cannot be laid save by a new bill*, and that, presented in this form, the measure is certain of defeat He has accordingly endeavored to accom plish this end by the introduction of a joint resolution. Its design is, as he explains, to declare "the meaning of thc law3 now in "force to be that incomes accruing during "the year 1870 are subject to tho tax." That a tax cannot be extended in this way is ap parent to the simplest comprehension, and that, should the resolution pans, it will bc universally resisted, is not less clear. Indeed, under such provocation, the ques? tion may naturally be asked whether that tax ever was lawful. According to that somewhat obsolete instrument, known as the Constitution of the United States, all direct taxes upon the people are to be apportioned to the numbers of the population. The right of direct taxation extends,, according to Story, to the real estate and to the person of the citizen solely. It is restricted to the land tax and th? poll tax. Hence an in? quisitorial investigation into the private lflairs of the citizen, as a ground of taxa? tion, is nothing more or less than public op? pression and robbery. Had not the necessities of tho country jeen so urgent, we doubt not that the right )f the government to tax the incomes of its sitizens would have long since been subjec ed to the supervision of the courts. But :he laws have been silent amid the cla3h of wrns. The government lias been allowed the benefit of a constitutional doubt, and of the love and fear which its perils or its prowess Lave inspired. But if this iniquit 3U3 and cowardly measure of Mr. Sclienck is pressed, there will certainly be opposition to it iu the country at large. Tho state of tliefiuances do not any longer require the maintenance of unpopular and illegal exac? tions, least of all, of one that spoils not thc estate but the family whose means of living it ruthlessly bears away. We wonder that, in thc beginniug the tax was not made more equable. A citizen sustaiuing a large fam? ily with bis income should never have been taxed as heavily as one having a small fam? ily or no family at all. But it is not worth our while to urge thi3 consideration now. The time when the tax expires by its own limitation has arrived. And a joint resolu? tion must not and cannot galvanize it into a new lease of life. Congress and the States. _ Events are furnishing ample vindication of thc wisdom of those at the South who so long, so gallantly, and, alas! so vainly fougkt the battle of States' Eights against Federal consolidation. Measures now be? fore Congress point to the most startling in? novations upon the previously received theo? ry of our government. The WasLingtou Chronicle, the organ of those who are the real masters of Congress, throws off the mask entirely, and marks out the path the revolutionists intend to march: "Reconstruction (it says,) strictly so called, may speedily become a thing ol' the past. But another great practical question will taki its place, and already looms up in the near future. indeed, it is already before Congress iu the various bills and resolutions which have been presented upon the Tennessee question. As this is a subject which uo louger has to deal with the admisoion ol' States from outside the pale, but rather with the mode of keeping them to their pledges within the Union, another icord should be substituted to express the 'appropriate legislation1 which our amended constitution empowers Congress to enact in behalf of the vested rights of all American citizens, o? what? ever shade or color." And again, the same paper boldly de? clares : "That th/reca'.citrant State of Tennessee will^^andproperly may be^^tttjw?ted^.to a proejas eqdtyctlent to a seconfy reconstruction, .we djflSnot foxa monitat dout?tr" ItjwlIIobe for TothenStategi? detennine/by $n?rr';mtaieton duct whether the same -procesa ?shall pr shall rwtb^japplii? to thhh.. ?At 4?' true-iKat the perfidy-of tho Tebete who havo obtained ?ull control in Tennessee is the most damning in? stance of its kind, it is no less true that other States, especially* Kentucky^ seem ( inclined fo re?>eal the experiment. In? time when Con -grcss may properly pavse to question Its own constitutional right'to guarantee'to every State a 'republican form of government' injits fullest sense, and subject to ail- the limitations of the Reconstruction acts, has passed, and it only remains to march with firm tread toward the vindication ot every right of every clti-s zen." These paragraphs undoubtedly exhibit the real sentiment of the dominant factiou in* Congress. That faction has long ago resolved to disregard the voice of thc people. The States of the North, as well as Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee, must look for tlic bayonet and the fetters whenever they go counter to the Radicalwill. The only ques? tion remaining is, will they stand this netv fangled tyranny ?
