Et Tu Pierrepont.

The attention of the reader is di« reefed to soma startling revelations relating to attorney General Pierxepont. He it seems, has also been afflicted with the prevailing epidemic which has smitten the Cabinet of Grant. It appears, that he threw the whole weight of his office, in the way of District Attorney Dyer, to prevent the execution of the hypocritical order of President Grant that no guilty man should be permitted to escape. His order to the District Attorneys, even if it had been secret was a perversion of justice, but its publication was an outrage. There is every reason to believe that if the order had not been published a different verdi'ct might have been reached in the Bab cock case. There is also no doubt that it was a direct and desperate attempt upon the part of the admin istration to shield a bosom friend and confidant of the President.

But there is another phase to the question. It would seem as if to the crime of interfering with the course of justice to impede its progress, the Attorney General had stooped to tell a lie. On no other hypothesis can the publication of the order be ex plained. But we will not repeat the article. It will be found in full elsewhere. To its perusal there the reader is invited. No one will be partlculary surprised. Nothing that the kitchen cabinet of Grant could say or do would surprise the country. Following in the footsteps of their illustrious chief, almost anything is permissable. All the country awaits with impatience the destruction of the ring master.

Kelknaps Disgrace.

Our colums are bu.doued again today with further particulars concerning Belknaps disgrace. It is the collossal scandal of the century. Coming as it does, while the Nation is preparing to celebrate its Centennial, it marks the era with mournful significance. By it the administration of Grant will be remembered in history. For it, the head of the administration is more responsible than the guilty officer who has fallen from his high estate and must drag out the remainder of his life an outcast from society.

Whether or not Gen. Belknap himself purchesed his place from thePres ident we do not know. It is a point, a person of an investigating tirn of mind might look up with hopefulness. Our civil service is full of people who paid for their places. They paid a price for their offices, just as eure as any person sold a bushel o* corn. Thers is but a trifling difference in the mode of conducting the operations.

Iu the buying and selling of corn, the article is usually delivered before the price is paid. In the sale of offices the President has demanded the purchase money before he delived the commission.

Some of the names generally used in commercial transactions were changed, but the changes were no more marked nor the evasions less transparent than the little devices used by dealers in whisky, to avoid the operation of stringent a prohibitory liquor law.

People gave the President presents. The President accepted the presents. He was a grateful man and never forgot a favor or a friend. He forget or never knew, that the way to pay a personal obligation is out of the pocket of tha recipient of the favor.

He paid his persenaldebts of gratitude, out of the pockets of the people, by giving away as:favors high and responsible offlces. whigh are sacred trusts, 5i-

Aa rJSssr who accepts a position, as a p£'.,i«nal gift of the President, for favors conferred, expects to steal and is expected to steal. The expectation has been realized.

It is absurd to suppose that a President who sells offices iu that way, will not let those who hold them do as they please.

Belknap was such an officer and the people are indebted for his des structionto a congressional investigation. The President saw nothing, heard nothing, suspected nothing. It is absurd to suppose these things. He saw him live way beyond any means his office honestly administered could yield. He accepted with regre the resignation of a thief. Belknap is not the only peraon who should be impeached.

TAXATION.

HOW THE GOVERNMENT RAISES ITS TAXES.

The Burden of TaxationWhisky as a Financial Agent—Tobacco Also.

AN ACCOUNT OP HOW THE REVENUES ARE RAISED, BY OUR WASHINGTON CORRES

PONDENT.

Something of Interest ists.

First, by way of refuting some recent extravagant statements, in regard to the burdens that were borne by men and property during the war, let me quote from the last report of the Com •aissioner of Internal Revenue.

MONEY IN WAR.

"The present system of internal rev enue originated in the necessities of the Government, growing out of the Rebellion, when it became necessary to resort to every available source e" income to defray the expenses of the war, and to establish the national cred it. Accordingly, by beginning with the first act of July 1,1862, an elaborate system of internal revenue was set on foot, which reached nearly every species of manufacture, trade, profession and occupation, and embraced many articles which aro specifically taxed the incomes of individuals, firms, associations and corporations, documents of various kinds, thirty-one in number, subjected to a stamp tax, and laying a heavy hand upon legacies, successions, and the gross receipts of those operating steamboats, ships, barges, canal boats, stage coaches, toll roads, ferries and bridges, and the gross receipts of railroad, expreis, insurance and telegraph companies, upon lotteries, theatres, operas museums upon banks and bankers upon trust companies and saving institutions, and up on occupations, fifty-one in number, requiring licenses Irom those who car ried them on, varying from ten dollars to two hundred dollars.

From the multiplied sources of revenue opened by this law, the Government was enabled to realize, in a single year, three hundred and ten millions nine hundred and six thousand nine hundred and eighty-four dollars and seventeen cents.

We may search in vain in our own history, or that of other nations, for such an example of patience and patriotism as was exhibited by the people of this country in the payment of these extraordinary burdens."

The sacrifices that were made, and the sufferings endured by our soldiers in the rebellion, perpetuated the government, and left a legacy of incalculable value to coming generations but the soldier could not have marched, and battles could not have been won, if it had not been for the liberal contributions made by the people, and the unprecedented revenues raised by the government, during each year of the war. This is a plain matter of fact, that will not be called in question by any person capable of fair reasoning.

Further on the Commissioner says: 'Commencing with the year 1866 there has been a continuous repeal going on year by year, of sueh internal taxes as were most oppressive, or at least such as gave rise to moat complaint, until at present but five subjects of taxation remain." The taxes are now levied upon distilled spirits, fermentod liquors, manufactured tobacco, snuffs snd cigars, bank-checks and deposits, circulation and capital of banks, certain occupations, and some articles of commerce. Most of the articles, taxed are luxuries, or the property of corporations, and persons who are deemed the most able to pay the taxes imposed. The discrimination is in favor of the workiBg classes, and against the rich.

Buring the last flscal year, ending June 30,1875, the total amount of reve* nue raised in Indiana, from the sources named was more than four and a half millions of dollars, or more than two dollars upon every man, woman and child in the State. Of this amount the tax on spirits was $3.954,340,01—in round numbers four millions, or more than the entire levy in Indiana, for general State purposes, and for common Schools, as made by the legislature.

WHO PAYS THK TAX

Itjis seen from this that the balk of the burden of taxation is borne by those who use whisky,, who take it straight, and take it regular," whatever the cost may be. Commissioner Pratt says the amount of spirits actually consumed has not greatly varied during Jthe last fifteen years, notwith standing the changes in the law fixing the amount of the tax and this fact haB been one of the standing arguments

faVuT

for Conimnn-

Washington, March 2, 1876.

Excepting the losses that are contin ually imposed upon the people by the enforced use of our irredeemable paper cuirency, the most onerous burden the people of Indiana have to bear, in the way of taxation, is the tax on whisky. Deri&ive rejoinders and contemptuous sneers from editors of the ilrst magni tude, by their own measurement, are not in order, as the statement is sus ceptible of proof and is taken from the record. The next in the lino of public grievance are the taxes annually levied by county commsssioners, township trustees and city councils. These lat ter are always more in the aggregate each year in'every county than the en tire levy made by the legislature for general State purposes, and for com mon schools, for the respective coun ties.

POWER OP WHISKY.

I wish, however, to direct attention to the large amount of internal reve nue that is raised by the general gov ernment in Indiana on whisky, and by so doing, perhaps, mitigate to some extent, the effect of demagogical .utteran ces of

writers and speakers who,

J' will be seen from the foregoing that the burden of taxation falls principally npon such luxuries as whisky and tobacco, and that while during the war every species of property was taxed, the duty is lifted from the backs of the many, and placed upon those who are the most unwilling to abstain from the use of the articles taxed.

One other item of Internal Revenue is the tax upon banks and bankers amounting in the aggregate annually, to more than ten millions of dollars.

A COUPLE OF THIEVES.

Washington, March 5.—Upon the order of the Secretary of the Treasury, Captain Craig and W. C. Bryant, of Missouri, were arrested here yesterday on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the Government of twenty-six thousand dollars, an alleged loss of a train while transporting Government freight between Leavens worth and Fort Yuma.

It is stated by parties interested that this claim had been under negotiation for the last ten years, and was passed by the different departments without a suspicion of fraud, payment being delayed in consequence only of supposed want of jurisdiction. In December last, however, that question was decided satisfactory to the second comptroller who passed the claims.

It appears that suspicion was at first elicited as to tho justness of the claims, by the clamor of representatives of .. persons who expected a share

the award. A judicial investigation will take place to-morrow. DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS

The Democratic caucus last night was attended by less than one-half the members of that party in Congress. A nnmber of them say there is no occasion for them to waste their time iu an effort to effect a general agreement on the subject of finance. They are no nearer an approach to a recommendation than they were a month ago

The Fiend Gets in Some Good Licks Yesterday, Philadelphia, March 5.—The extensive dry eoods house of Wood, Marsh fc Bo., 309 and 311 Market street, was destroyed by fire this morning. To® flames broke out about three clock in a small threie story brick building, and it is supposed to have originated from stove. A brisk freeze prevailing at the time, fanned tbe flames so that when the firemen arrived the fire bad made considerable headway.

Building 307i occupied by Garretson, Bleake fc Co., dealers in prints, waa badly damaged in the rear, while the interior wis pretty well deluged with

water. No. 313 Market occupied by B. & H. Behens Bro's. & Dobson, dealers in fancy goods, was likewise damaged in the rear, while the interior suffered by water. About 6 o'clock a portion of the north wall of 3lTfeet fell, causing the W0 31 wall to fall.

The store in 30S Market, occupied by S. Cassidy, dealer in silk, suffered from water and smoke. It was daylight belore the firemen mastered the situation. The entire loss is estimated at 5300,000.
