PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM OF TAXATION. je quite evident that the financial ques. bon—taxation—resumption of specie payment, &e.—will occupy a large share of the attention ot Copgress this winter. Somewhat pear a doven bills and resolutions bearing on the<e Ts were introduced in Congress on the * day of the tession, and doubtless each day hereafter wall be protific of obers. Foremost im this way will be the question of equalizing | iaxation, OF msking it bear more fairly upon different interests than it dors under the present | laws. The income tix system will undoudied- 4y receives preity thorough overhauling, remrdy rdmitted def cts: and in this connec- Son, We see @ suggestion put forh inthe In- terval Revenue Kevoni,(a weekly register of United States official revenue and custom de- cisions, published in New York,) that may not be unworthy the attention of our law-makers Under the pres excecdingly ditt to @ satisinctory u the assessment of the income tax. In the first place there is no way to prove the truthfulness of the returns. [oa jarge pumber <i cases the ded: way of taxes, than the “mmeome’ men.

If the lands were settled they would undoubtedly pay something to the United Stats Government. Now, instead of taxing an “Imaginary” thing 8s income, it is asked, why not tax land as all states, cities, aud counties do, acd leave in- comes amd manufactures alone? This done, nobody could deprive the United States of the Proper tax. Parties having much land on band and for speculation could not keep it, they would have to sell; ard every state, city, village, and ue.ghborhood would be benefitied ‘The number of acres of land in the United States smount fo more than 3,000,:/,000 (three billions). The number of test of ground in all the cities of the United Siates may be roughly estimated at more than three hundred billions feet, making the total of acres and feet, 303,000,0Ca,e00. If both the above kinds of Property were taxed at the rate ot “One Cent” each (per acte or foot), the amount to be col- lected would be £3(0,000,00. Or, supposing the total nomber of feet acd acres to be one Balf too large, then the tax should be “two cents” or take wo years, aad we would AITiVe St the same result, It is argued that no one will complain if compelled to piy one or two cents tax ow each acre of country, or foot of city ground owned by him, if by doing so he is relieved ot all otber (U. &) Yet that “one” or “two” et ould pay the United States deb: in one and leave over four hundred millions m the Treasary' With this amount of money £0 easily to be collect»d, all other kinds of taxe except, “special taxes” or i censes, could be dispensed with; and there would be necessity for taxing U. S. Bonds, a Policy so strongly opposed by the Republican party, The above system of taxat‘on would, it is maintained, increase the revenue largely, and reduce the expenses of sseessmentand collec tou more than 5) per cent., and noone could then escape the payment of some portion ef the United States debt. Further, by this mode of taxation nobody would be overburdened by taxes, for every one would be taxed aceording to bis own capacity; manufacturer: would b» effectually relieved, and the poor or middle classes who have, in fact, so far paid the taxes would be made easier and bappier The debt being mm this way secured and soon paid, would shortly bring the Currency of the United States to par, and a gradual and silver payments, would ny be giedly received by the people at ‘The isrmer aud the working man, jarge by paying the direct tax on his “land” o- bis “trade.” would make more profit by it than he does in poying the “indirect tax” on everything he bas to buy. We do not know how this mode of taxation ‘will strike Secretary McCulloch, Commissioner Rollins, or Commissioner Wells, but as it is surgested by ¢ miliar with the workings | of the present income tax—the Assessors—there , is, very likely, after s the faur nue ix a mi ! ecbing im it, It may be, dea that taxing incomes is Tue Coat TRADE ON THE Cal PEAKE AND Ow Caxat.—As the coal trade, by way of the Chesapeake and Ohio einai, closed for the season yesterday we cive the following review | of the work of this y: The season is sup- Pored to commence April Ist, and terminate December lth, allowing 253 days. Now, of ere lost by reason of breairs, injuries to locks, and other mishaps, which Averaging the amount of co-I shipped per day: shows loss during that time to the company of the tolls on 130.0") tons of coal, Even with this loss of time the shipments during the past season amounted to 491,769.04 tons, am increase of 75,00 tons over the shipments of 1: Dar. | ing the same time 4479 permit: were granted | to loaded boats at Cumberland, an increase of | 250 over last year. The above figures show that the coal trade is constautly increasing, but | now the only outlet tor coal till next spring | will be by the Baltimore and Ohio railrozd. | Although more coal bas beem shipped this se som than ever before, over the canal, tae reve- nue will be considerably less than last year, | ecause of the reduction of the tolls, made n: cessary im consequence of the reduction of the Tates on the Baltimore and Onio railro.d. pasate onder eee GRayD GrERA—The sale of seats at Metze- yott's music store for Maretzek’s season of | rand opera at the Natioual Theater next week, | is progressing so rapidly as to indicate that those who wish :o obtain desirable seats should | apply eurly. “Robert le Diable,” is to be given | on Wednesday, in which both tenors, Habel- | mann and Brignoli. appear with Hermanns. | Lagrange and Miss Culloch, besides the | Ganscuse Wesmael, with her ballet corps. | Hermanns wall appear im his great role of | «Mephistopheles” in «F; "en Tuesday | m Of the steamers America and United States on the Obio river last week, whereby both vessels and 8 large number of lives were lost, was the re sult of contention betweed the pilots on the two boats,—each claiming the middle of the river. This, at least, is the allezation of tae pilot of another steamer, who was a passenger on the America, and who distinctly beard and understood the signals made before the colli- | sop.

Suillington, who is agent for Ap- thion’s Reiway Guide, we bave a copy of the ‘December mumber of thit usetal publication, From Blauchara & Mebua we have Harper’, Weekly fur December. | | The Alsska Correption Fan: it as get ting to be called, is still a iruitful topic for Weshington letter writers, and some of them sre telling rather extravagant stories aboat it. If any of the money paid t the Rassiaa Gov- eroment bas been used improperly, the whole ‘roth fm regard to it will probably never come ont butso far, we must confess, we bave scen notbing like evidence to support the ailega- tion,—beyond the payment of come $31.00 to Hon. Robert J. Walker, about which we be- lieve there is no dispute, and which be ac- knowledges baving received in the professional capacity of counsel to the Rassisn Govern- ment. What apparently gaverise to the impression that Iarge sums were paid ont here to carry the appropriation bili through Congress was the sact that the round sum of £1,000,000 or £5,(00,000 Was recently transferred from the strong boxes of the Barings in London to the treasery of the Czar. The quid nuncs at once jumped to the conclusion that this was the igentics! Alsska money, or the portion of it, rather, that Ru =a actually received, aud chat the balance was left in this country in the form of “expences” cf various kinds. When it is remembered, however, that the Barings have been the D.nkers of the Rassian Government for years, the iact that ouly a portion of what might be the purchase money was drawn at one time could as well be regird: d as an ind cation that the finances of the ( ) As that the difference between $5,080,000 and 0,000 bad been spent to secure the former m. But, in addition to this reasonabie pre- sumption, we happen to have the very bivhest authority for stating that more tha $7,000,000 of the purchase money was remitted from this country to the Barings on account of the Eim- peror of Russra, not im coin nor currency, as some have it, but in coin bills of exchange. So Which connect ‘he house of Riggs & Co. with ceriain loans alleged to have bea secared from the Treasury, or set forth that funds were ad- vanced by that Department prior to the passage of the appropriation act, as aay one possessing the least knowledge of the operations of the | Department, or of Mr. Treasurer Sp rs mode of doing busiuess, must very well know. Our surprise is at the fact that any person should be wicked enough or foolish enough to give them currency, expecting them to be believed. That some of the money paid to the Russian Government was net improperly used we do hot pretend to say, for we know nothing about it. ot ss yet we have seem ro proof of the fact, nor even reasonable ground fu: sus- picion. If any proofs exist, we presume, as We hope, that 4 Congressional inyesugatioa ‘will bring them out, should the matter rise to the diguit¥ of aa induisition of that character. Until they are proaucea, however, we preter to take the more charitable view and consider people inpo-ent unless proven guilty, and to continue in thy faith also that legislation can sull be procured in this country without the use of corrapt agencies, ‘Taere is at last a prospect that Pennsylvania Avenue will be properly paved.—that is to say, if movements im Congres looking to that end are to be regarded as meaning anything. In Addition to the bill introduced im the Senate yesterday by Mr. Cole,—which we published in Isst evening's edition,—one was introduced by Senator Harris, which will be found in an- other part of to-day’s paper. Where an improvement is as badly needed 88 in this case, the public should perhaps be thankiul for any thing that will afford relief, ele: ©, everybody isinterest-4im haying style of pavement adopted which combines tect degree thee sential qualities of liewce and cheapness. In this view of the ase, we hope both bills will be earefally mined and that the one which b-st serves the public interest may be passed with the leost po-ribly delay. To our mind, that intro- uced by Mr. Cole, is preferable, for the rea. sons that it leaves the selection of the kind of nerenens to be used toa board composed of eompetent,and honet gentlem “hie A divides, ®, Slso, the cost of the work iair. ly Detweem the city, the property owners, the street railroad company, and the general gov- ernment, instead of taxing it all azainst the latter, ss the Harris bill proposes to do. Congress bas shown a disposition in the ease of other improvements to share the cost with the Corporation, but a decided imdi=position to shoulder the co-t alone. We imagine thata bill proposing to (ax the Government for the whole cost of paving the avenue will stand very little chance of getting throws; bat we have no doubt that Congress wold readily vote to pay what it considers a fair propor- tion of the cost. That the bosrd referred to would or wonld not select the Nicolson pavement, weare not prepared to of, without knowing any- thing about it, we take it for granted they have formed no opinion on the subject. Nor do We propose to interpoce any obstacles in the way of its adoption; for ip some re~pects we consider it unsurpassed as a method of Paving. The objection is urged against it, however, that once down it is almost impossible to re- move it for the purpose of putting down or re- pairing water, gas or sewage pip-s. and this cbi-ction ts a very serious ome in this city, Where there is so much unimproved property and where so much ulderground work re- mains to be done. And, manifestly, as it seems to us, the expense of the proposed improve- ment ought lo be borne in proper proportion by all ies directly interested in or benefi'ted by it. In any event, however, we think the question of selection ought to be left open 10 and decided by competitive tests a3 to excel. Jence, and that the consideration of co-t should also be taken into the account. That our citi. zens generally will agree im this view of the case we have no doubt. in thi What is termed the “repudiation proposi- tion” of the President's Messige is meeting with sharp criticism from all sides, and indeed the severest things scid of it are by papers of Democratic leanings, the New York Journ of Commerce &nd the Philadelphia Ledyer tor instance. The Led,¢r holds that it is “the worst form of repudiation yet broached by any pub- lic man.” The reasoning of the President is that the bondholders get six per cent. interest in gold, which he says equals nine per cent. in currency; that they then convert the bonds ints capital in the national banks, and thus get six per cent. more in currency, making fifteen per cent; that their exemption from taxation equals rWo per cent. making in all seventeen per cent, interest; that the holders of the bonds get them at low rates, and have thus already re- ceived alarger amount in interest than their original investment,and that im consideration of these advantages the form ot payment he pro- poses is fairand liberal compensation. But as the Ledger shows very conclusively the allega- tion thatthe bondholders get 17 per cent. inter- estcan in any event apply to not more than one-sixth of the bonds of the $2,222,00),000 of | the debt now benring interest, only about $35°)- (,000 are used #s the basis, Of national bank notes. The banks that own these bonds may and probably do gei twelve to fourteen per cent. currency interest; but the holders of the other €1,470,004,000 get not more than the simple interest called for by their bonds.
