TURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 187 WELVE PAGES. this droadful state of affairs? A partial an- swer to thia qnostion will be found in astudyof the systom of imperial and local tazation. Tho total rovenna of India for the year 1870, which wnas not a famine year, was about -$256,600,000. “The amount of this which is raisod by taxation taken absolutely out of the pocketa of the people is $178,500,000, of which $107,000,000 wero land revenne and 231,000,000 ealt rovenne, If the wholo 178,500,000 be divided by the number of inhabitaute, ¢t will be found that tho aonual tax per head s nbout Ot ocents, This is o small sum, but it reduces tho 88 per head of in- come, which, as we bave alroady soen, does not sufllas to supply the necessarios of life, to 87.10, and the total family'incoms from 340 to $36.60. A littlo over 12 per cent is thns taken from the peoplo for pur. poses of Government. This taxatior, more- over, is exclusive of tho very heavy looal cesses and rounfoipal rates, which have been inoreased §20,000,000 evon sinca 1870, and now amount to $65,000,000, or more than an additional 4 per cent for the whole of India." “It will thersfore,” Mr, Hy:xouax concludes, “bo within tho mark if we put the total taxation of India, imperial and provineial, at 16 per cent on tho gross incomo, or $1.28 por hoad of population.” Comparing those figures with those for 1857, it is found that tho totu! weight of taxatioh to-day is ns noarly as possible twice what it waa twenty yenrs ago, or $250,000,000 to $125,000,000, The extra tazation imposdd since the East India Company gave up the Government amounts to §3 in a family of five persons, ‘‘an amount quite sufficiont to make B material difference in the woll-being of a family whose total gross income on our favorablo hypothiesis reaches only abont 840" Nor is it only in tho shape of taxes that tho terriblo drain upon Indian resources is made. There are in the Indian servico an army of Englishmen, the most part of whose earnings ia gout home. An tmpartial writer, and warm defondor of tho Indian policy of the Government, catimates that **Tho amount of the annual earnings of Englishmen con- neated with India which are transmitted hamo cannot bo less than £100,000,000,” Mr. Hrspataxroduces this estimate one-half, and then mays: ** Admitting that oven $6,0,000,000 is 50 sent homo overy yoar, what istho effect of this? The Englishmen who are working in Indin aro remunerated for their Inbors by a portion of the produco of tho soll of the cpuntry.” Thore aro no gther moaus of paying them. They are pald twen- ty to twenty-five timos as much'as would have to bo'paid to natives, and the greator part of this produce so paid for work done is sent to bo used and oxpended in a foroign country, Bo' India loses overy way, | Mr. HYNDMAN goos at groat length into the statistics of India to prove that there is a constant and steady drain upon hor resources. ‘We have not the space to follow him in these investigations, and it is not neceasary that we should. The facts nnd argumenta alrendy ntated propare us to bollave that this drain in the twonty yoara since the country passed out of the controlof tho East India Com. pany has averaged, in the leaat calculation, $100,000,000 a year. Now, tho character- istio thing about this draln—the fonture which distinguishes it from all ordinary foreign expenditures of an independent na- tion—is that it is an sbsolnts dead loss to India, For all tho bonefit it does that coun- try, it might aa well be thrown jfuto the sen as sent to England. Nono of it comes back for purposss of roproduction, Some of it has boon used, it fd truo, in railways and irrigation works, but these have been wasto. fully built, and have developed in no con- sidorablo degroe the agricultural rosources of the peoplo, v & The truth ig, that the English pooplo have v plundored India as systomntically and com- plotely ns they have plundered Ireland. They have oxngted an enormons annual tribate of $100,000,000 from the country, and this tributo hoa been taken from the working cap- ital of the natives. Inorder to moot it, tho lattor have been obliged to sell their agri. cultural products when thoy ought to have kopt them for food; in other words, they bavo taken the brgad out of their own the averago of their class in intelligonce and information, then it is safo to conclndo that the ignorant who act with the new party will go even furthor, if it bo possible, in the direction of anarcly end Inwlessnera. This in tho party to which the Democrats havo formally surrendered in Massachusotts, and which they are encouraging in all parts of tlho cotntry. We should think a bare state- ment of tho facts, wilhont comment, wonld be enough to indnce conservativo menof all clnssen and shades of opinion to vote for Republican Congressmen ns the only cortain means of saving the National Legislature from the'dangors threatened. ————— DEFEATING THE ENDS OF JUSTICE. A very extraordinary interview appeared in tho Joca! columns of Tax Tamuxxof yes- torday. Judge Baxas, United States District- Attorney, declaros that he has been ordored to prohibit Assistant District-Attornoy Tron- 80N from taking any part in the conduot of tho Investigation of the Custom.Tlouso build- ing frauds bofore the Grand Jury. This statement was so suggostive, to tho roporter, of a purpose on the part of some Washington Government official to dofent theends of justico that he inquired whonce the iniquitous orders emanated, whereupon Judgs Baxos sald. The fact ts, they camo to mo in 8 sort of Irregular, roundabout way. A curious feature of the case is that, after odmitting the irrogular character of the orders, Judge Baxcs announced it as his purposs to oboy them, Buch ordors could only properly emanate from Attornoy-Gon- eral Devexs ; and oven from him they would bo of very questionable propriety. Mr. Tstomsox is thoroughly familiar with overy detail of the subjoct. Judge Baxos knows literally nothing of it, cither in genornl or in detail. What right, then, would the Attornoy-General have to exclude from tho conduct of A caso of the United Btates against alleged criminala the only sabordinate officer who {s famil- in with all the facts, and substitate in his placo a subordinate who has no acqnaintanca with any of the facts? Clearly none what- over. Wo repest: Buch orders, whethor from the Attorney-General or from anybody elso, indicate a purposs to defeat tho prose- cution. But 1t seems that the orders did not omanate from the Attornoy-Genernl. From whom thon did they come? Did thoy come from Becrotary SBmemtax? Or from Judgo Fpexon? Or from -Mr. Hru, Supervising Architect? Dees Judge Bangs propose to oboy ordors of this character? Will ho take orders from Tou, Dicx, and Harar? Will ho axecato orders that conldhave been issucd for no other purpose under the sun than to dofeat the onds of justico? Docs he, o sworn officer of the Departmont of Justice, proposo to be made & cat's-paw of to sereon alleged criminals from the scrutiny of in- vestigation? Thera should be no sccret about the issu- anoe of orders from the Law Department of tho Government to ona of its snbordinates touching the prosecation of a caso involving the interesta and Lonor of the peoplo of the United States. The investigation about to take place is & grand inquisition in the namo of all the people of the conntry in n caso where Mr, Tmomson has found proba- ble causo for the indictment of certain individuals. Mr. Trossox hns spent months in the examination and proparation of the cess, and now Judge Banoa an- nounces that ho has recoived orders, In “a wort of irregular, roundabout tway,” to ox- clude Mr, Troumsox from all part in the further prosecution!. The "proposition fs monatrons | It is susceptible of but one in. torpretation, and that is the interprotation ‘wa have placed upon it, The fact that Judgs Bixas mnkos a secret of his alleged ordars to sanb Alr, Tuomson, taken in connection with the other fact of their, manifest improprioty, emphatically negatives the prosumption thal any such or~ ders havo beon roceived. If ho has any such orders lot Lim produco them, in order that tho publio may Judge of their propriety and place the rosponsibility of tholr issuance where it belongs. Until such exhibit, with all duo doforence to the high character of Judge Baxas for truth and veracity, wo sub- mit that the publiowill ba slow to belisve it hopes to curry favor with voters of other ‘nationalities for Kenw, and by humiliating and breaking down tho Irish to induco the friends of Kenor to withdraw him at thelast moment from the raco and substitute Car- TER HaArntsoN. This is its programme. It ia tautamount to a notice from the Demo- cratio headquartors that tho Irish need not come thers with the hope of recognition, It is the official posting upon Sheriff Kenn'a hoadquarters, * No Irish neod apply.” 1t is a game, however, which will not work, I¢ Kenx ean do withont the Irish, the Irish «can do withont him, The Irish aro the hard. ost peoplo in the world to buildoze. They are prond and resentfnl. Thoy have little control of their temper, and whan they are spit npon, insulted, and busmirched all over with filth, thoy will strike back, and strike back very hard, They believe in porfect eqmality in auy organization with which they nro connectod, and when they are commanded to take back seat they will eithor go up and take a front seat, and run the mnchine thomsalves, or they will back out altogether, and start o rival organization. When an Irishman commencos throwing rocks it makes little difforence to him whether he throws through ordinary window glass or Fronch plate. It isonly necossary that thero shall be something made of glass, nud that that somothing shall be noar enongh to be emashed. Whon he Is enraged by insult, it makes littla difference to him who owns the hoad in his vicinity, or what sort of a head it is, It gets hit, all tho same, At the fortheoming elootion, K is mot the only ono who will experionco the impartiality of Donnybrook. Thers may not be a whole hend left on the Domocratic ticket, and, in such a caso, the victims will know where to place the responsibility, ‘Whatover may be the result of the fight, it is mone of our concorn, Tam Cmicaco Tamoxe doos not want 1o see either Kxay or Kenok elocted, or any other candidate on the Demoaratio ticket. It profers tho oloc- tion of the Republican candidates, bocausa Wboy sro men who will represent Chicago in Congress more cfficiently, and who will ad- minister tho affairs of tho county more judi~ ciotaly, energetically, and cconomically than tho Democratio candidates. It can afford to stand back and smile.at the serimmage, ns it does not affect tho Republican party if all the heads engaged in it get eracked. Nover- theless there fs homor oven in politics, and while T Tnisone will continue to work fog thosucoess of the Republican candidates and belloves thoy will be oleoted, it never. tholess has no sympathy with such whole- salo and gratuitous condemnation and vilifi. cation of the Irisli pooplo ns has charaster- ized the columns of the Chicago 7¢mes dur- ing the past weck.

It facctlonsly remarks that it has been a standing bet for vears that no respecto- ble citizen of Now Yor en at random, conld corzeetly state the names off-hand of the mem- hers of Coneress from Now York Clty. 1t says that Mr. KaLLY, who has “‘apnounced" the names of the persons "by whom he fntends to be represented in Congress for the next two years," seems to have made his aslections with reforence to this traditlonal wager. ‘'Fortu- nately, both for the country and for the Demo- cratic party,’” adds the sarcastlc World, “the organ(zation of the next House fs not ab all llkely to depend uvon the delegation from this city or to be much modificd by it." It thinks Mr. Fsrxanno Woop dissppolnted the just expectations of the revenua roformers of the country by his management of the tarift question during the Tast session of Congross. As to littlo ** Bhoo-fiy '* Cox, the World says that although he filled the part of ‘“little end man of Mr, Keury's delegation with less than his wonted vivacity and drollery at tho last sessfon, ‘*he haarecctyed what magbe called areorimand and a warning in the nomination of a rival humorist, Mr, Lawnzsce Jenoxe. Should Mr. JEROME be elected aud Mr. Cox arobped at the volis, the Mouse will bo the raiver, for, if we mey be allowed to use such an expression, Mr, JRROME 88 a practical joker isa huckloberry above Mr. Cox's persimmon. His jests ara of & broader, freer, and altogether more original sort than those of Mr. Cox, and ho will havae the great advantage also of taking with him an entitcly {resh repertory of storfes, puns, and jibes, not to mention that when business is to be atterfded to he will usually be able to attend to It, and to some purpose."” ——— A special dispatch to the Hoston Journal gives the particulars of the bentiug of the Rev.
