Rensselaer Union, Volume 1, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 May 1869 — General Grant’s Income. [ARTICLE]

General Grant’s Income.

Several of the so-called Democratic papers of the baser sort are insinuating that General Grant made a false income return when he returned to the Assessor of the Washington District only $556 for 1868, when, it is alleged, his military salary amounts to nearly SIB,OOO a year. But these very smart sheets overlooked the fact that the income tax of five per cent, is de ducted from the salaries of all officers of the Government, w hether miltary or civil, when the salary is drawn. And it is well known that, outside of his salary, General Grant has very little income. The $556, unquestionably, exactly represents every cent of his “ outside ” income, after making the deductions WhidH the law allows. The Copperhead papers, notwithstanding this explanation, will not retract their base insinuation— not they. They prefer tha£ their readers should continue to believe that General Grant cheated the Government in making his income return. — Chi cago Tribunei * An exchange has the folio wing 7-: “Itjs said that there are more editors unmarried than any other class of professional men."
