ea WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB, 7, 1508, THE NEW YORK SUN. Attack apom the Con: Aounter Summer's ete Baxaton Bowsen opposes the representative anenement, which lately passed the House, | the ground @) at 1 ie * emotber o« mpromise of bu- man nights.” He therefore proposes » #10 Congress instead of the amendment, ‘leclariug that in wo Buate shall there be any denial of civi! oF polis cal ry ute on sccount of color, but that a) persoud | shal! be equal before the law. By this proposition, Mr. Bowen takes the bold ground that Corse s oo far as the rights of human bgings are concerned, bas power to reguiste the institutions of the several States, The difference between Mr. 80M er and the majority of bis Redical friends is ann ply this: The former accomplishes at ® trialed jump, claiming to be suthorized by the Mseony . stituuion, what the latter ere making by degrees, through Constitutional arnendments Bot Mr. Somexo’s plan ie a palpelly uncoustl- tution: os if & — prewribed what the people should ent aud wear, and ; ite practical effect would be wo place the negroes, North end Sousb, apon an exact equallty with the whites —that is, it would be unlawful t probitat the former from any privileges that the latter, a# eclase, enjoy. In New York, for instance, the law requiring ® property qualification in respect to negro electors, would be nullified, and the darkies would not only be allowed to vole without distinction, but in the achools, public gatheriags— avery where,they woul’ be exempt from the annoy: ance of being parceled off by themselves. The Rad- ical programme of Taap, Stevens ie bed enough, ut thet of Mr, Bumnge is certainly the most dangerous messuro that has yet been introduced tu Congress, To the: xtentinule ate! it obliterates sll covstitutioas! Biate power, and makes the Biste Legislatures wholly subservient © the authority of Congresa, And this very danger is one which the tethers of the Republic endeavored most seudious- ly to guard against, The Constitution explicitly de- clares that ‘The powers not delegated to the Un.ted Btates by the Constitution, nor probibited by it to the States are reserved to the Btates respectively, or to the people.” Again it declares that “ The @mumerstion tn the Constitution of certain rights, shall not be ccnsirued to deny or disparage others retained by the people.’ Im fact, it ls @ funds mental principle of the Government, and one which was vever disputed, until recently, that the States are sovereign a0 far an their acts of legis'a- tion do net conflict with the Constitution of the United States, Now there is nothing in that in- g@irurment that can possibly be construed into an suthonzevon of Mr. Somamu's measure, and thas gentleman fails most completely in bis efforts to prove that his resolution is warranted by the Con- @titution. On the contrary, it la prohibited by the provisions above queted, We hardly think that Congress has yet been sufficiently impreguated with Bommsn Raddicaliam to entirely ignore the Constitution; but the leading position which M Bumsge cocupies in bis party, toge.her with the efforis that are making in the House to abridge the power of the Constitution, shows that the old safeguard of ihe Republic ie in imminent danger from the very men who have sworn to faithfully quard and protect it. France and Mexice. Is the foreign pews published in thie moroing'e sum, we bave the important announcement that the French Emperor, in hie speech to the Leviala- sure on the 22d ult, declared that arrangements were making to withdraw the French troopa from Mexico, This statement is gratiiying, eo far amit goes, but it is exceedingly indefiuite concerning ibe time when the withdrawal shall be consum- mated, Ii may take Naro.aow years to complete 018 arrangements. Ho is « wily, crafty monarch, and is is poamble that be has thrown out this state- q@ent to tranguilize public opinion in the United sates, at the same time intending to quit Mexico at ois leisure, We have frequently given the opinion, sod now reiterate it, that NaroLgon will not with- draw from Mexico and loave MaximtLtaN to Lis ‘ate. If he could induce Josueu of Austria to sup- ily the place of the French troops in Mexico, then NaPoteom would doubileas be glad enough to withdraw hie soldiers; or if avy other circum- Mance should give bim an opportunity to back ous without @ sacrAce of presiiye, he would prob- ebly take e spealy aivantage of li, Bui the situa. Hon of aTairs in Mexico will be ditlerent from what hey are just at (his t.we when ihe French soldiers sake their ieave. The speech of the Emperor ts therefore important ao lar as it goes, for it shows that Le is uot inclined to provoke a quarrel with he United Siutes. Before giving is any further significance, however, we shall wait until bie “arrangemeuts'' (ake some definite shape, Ia Time of Peace Prepare for War. Wa at Now York often boast of our vast and powerful fortifications guarding the entrance to our magnificent Larbor, and the great conwercial wartjof the western continent—works mounting scores of the largest and most effective ordnance known fu the world at the present day, Yet, we forget that while wo are so well prepared to re- ceive an enemy from seaward, we aro in a sadly delenceless condition as far av the passaye and en- trance by tho way of Long Island Sound is con. cerned, Lot us consider our rec! situation at Throvg's Neck, We havea fine looking work of masonry mounting @ formidable battery, tt is true, but the past four or five yeure has demonstrated she fact that ships will not he still to be sunk by forts, but will, in spite of torpedors, chains, piles, ant other obstructions, pass them almost without mury This being the cane, the fort at Throgy's Nock affords us but little res! protection.

If our iron clads were frozen up iv the Dela. ware then as now they would ava! us nought, and before we could cut them from their ice moorings, the enemy would pounce upon us.

The main features of tle measure are substantially the same ae that aloptel | y the Sen- ate, The substinute curtails the salaries of off ere of the Bureau, and declares that the sct aball not reqerd af destitute any freedman who, “being able to find employment, could by proper industry and exertion avold sachdestitution, suffering and de- pe.dency.”" Another new featur provision that the Freedmen's Burean shell rent or purchase Janda for the freelmen who are now located on lauds that were seived by the Government, aod sla, that schools end asyluma shall be erected for the use of freedmen who may be dependent upon the Bureau. This plan is good for the Cark- son but bad for the Government treasury. There are eyreat many poor white people who would like to bave the Government rent or purchase land for them, and furnish them with schouls and asylume when they were indisposed to work. But the bill will go back to the Sonate, and it may be that further alterations will be made in its provisions, . Mere of Fry's Figures. Guwweat Fay etl indulges bis old propensity. ‘We moan the iudividual who, in the days of drafts, used t amaze the public with his mysterions method of calculating aud apportioning quotas, Is seems that the Committee of the House of Rep- resentatives, to whom were referred the various propositions for the equalization of soldiere’ boun- ties, applied to General Far for information con- cerning the probable expenditure shat would be required in order to equelize the bounties accord- ing to the three hundred dollar standard, Of course the mathernatical prodigy was competent for the task, and afters brief exercise of bis ge- niue be informed the Committee that mx buodred million dollars would be the figure needed, Itis not publicly known whether the Committee de- wired General Fey to demonstrate the manner in which he reached so bigh a sum, but the probabil- ity is that they bad beard of the experience of this city with Genera! Fry, in the draft times, and that they wisely bold their peace. We have shown, on ® previous occasion, that the equalization of bounties could not poambly entail ao expenditure of more than one bundred and fifty million dollars, allowing three hundred dollars to be the standard, The whole number of soldiers enlisted during the war was leas than three millions, nearly two- thirds of whom received the full three hundred dollar bounty, The rest received the one hundred dollar bounty, and hence, to accomplish the equal- vation, is would only be necessary to pay two hundred dollars each to considerabl, less than one million of men. Weare sorry that the Committee consulted Fur, for we fear that his mysterious figuring may have completely mudiled their brains, and that they will be afrail to do anything for the soldiers, it is poasilie, however, that their minds are clearer than were those of the New York Supervisors, when Fur used to operate upon them, For the #ake cf the soldiers, we hope ao. Our Tax System. The Amount ef Taxes to be Inalsed by the General Geverument This \ ear, etc., etc, No, 1, Taw Tax Question is, undoubtedly, the great question of the day, The Negro Question ts de- funct. The War Question is settled in favor of Liberty and Union, and the Reconstruction Ques- tion la in President Johnson's hands, But the Tax Question presses upon Our attention every mo- went, and is becoming more and more serious in ite demands upon the time and consdoration of every momber of the community.

Thin question is answered by 8. S. Hayes, one of the U. 8, Revenue Commissioners in his able and Jucid Report on Texation, He puts the sum of yearly expenditures for Biate and Municipal pur- s atone bundred and fifty millions dollars, je doen not state how much of it ts required to be raised during the year, and bow much of it 16 in- tended to be borrowed. Be thie aa it may, an equi- valent, moreor less correct, is obtained by toe people for the tribute thus exacted from them, For this 150 millions they obtain courts of justice, police, prisons, hospitals, poor-houses, reformato- ries, schools, water, roads, marketa, Lalls of pub- lie record, street cleaning (?), &c., d&c.—in @ word, Juatice, security, and other benefita. But for the 418 millions levied by the General Government the people gain bute very small returo, Thisis ow- ing to the fact that moat of it ie required for expen- ditures arising out of the late war, Previous to the war the sum of 80 mil!ions a year was sufficient to enable the Government to discharge all ite fune- tions and pay all its expenditures, and it is tair to assume that but for tue war, it could do es well Bo that al] above that sun is to be ateribut- ed to the war, $719,612,049 16 the sum of this year's expenditures (415 willions of this to be raised in taxes, 40 nullions raisd from other sources, and 252 milllons borrowed) of which it may be said that fully 600 mi!lions bes been en- tailed upon us by the war, Bus it must be re- membered also that the resulisof the war are worsb something, Tue Untox is worth something; the settlment of the sluvery question is worbu somest . Therefore, we cannos well grumble at the bi n. Wo have only to see that the required sum to be raised during the year is within our means, aud is distributed equally upon the sbould- ers ot all, in proportion to weir ability w pay. OF Abia more anon. Taking the sum of 418 millions as one year's burden (leaving out the 150 millions of Stave and Municipal taxation) let ua bow Inquire Who Payeit. WHO PAYS THR TAXES? Wo have asked! this question of a great many peopia and no two have given us the sawe reply, We produce some of their replies verbutim, ueastion,-WLo paya the taxes * nawer by Neighbor Jonca.—The people sir; the 82 millions of pecpie in the whole country, sir 418 million# @ yoar amoung 82 millious of people anounts to $13 year each. Is ien't much, Our Reply.—True 1 ien't much if itis equally by 82 millions of peop'e; but this canuot be Half of our population is composed ot f They do not pay taxes. Auother lar; portion of our population are ivfeniw and youths, Auowwer portion old men who do not work. Many are Iudians and negroes, These pay very litte, if enytuing, Some are confined in hospitals and jails, hese psy nothing Who then pays the taxos! Answer by Neighbor Smith,—All classes pay the taxes except tucee mentioned, They are paid by the ox millions of abie bodied men, aud by one mollion or thereabouts of working females; say seven millions of peopie altogether, or oue-filth of the eutire population. Those who do not pay it durectly, pay it inulrectly, in the food they eas, the clothed they wear, dv, 413 millions a year paid by seven millons of working pevple, suounts to g6U 8 year exch. Our Reply.—Netghbor Smith, you are the mark tuan neighbor Junes; but you h, quite hit it, In China the government puts a tax upon tea, The producer uf wa charges .uis tax in iw price to the merchant, The merchant again charges it to the shipper, The shipper in turn charges it to the American liporter, To the ex- tent, therefore, that America) # consume Cuinese tea, they pay ataxio the Chinese government. Bo it is wish our own exports, ‘Lo the exwut that we tiade with foreign uadious foreiguers pay our taxes. During the flacal year 1505, ve exported three hundred and 6x millions werth ot goods, Oo this, the foreigners who bought them paid some twenty mill.ons of our taxes, But we also jmported goods trou abroad tn which w the taxes of other governments; yet, as governments are taxed as heavily as w being taxed at present, we uid not probably psy—on the two huwdred and thirty-four mulhous of goods im- ported during the fiscal year 1505--over eight pi lilons of dollareto tureign goveruments. low would give uss clear gain of tw millions of dollars. Assuming that this year’s commerce will be tie same as that of 1505, aud Geuucwug the twelve millions of taxes thus shoved on to other navions it will be seen that #eveo millions ol our people, if they bore the burden equally, would pay jour Lundred aad 6.x millions 10 taxes, Lois amounts to $68 each, aud this We belicve w be the exact trush, Neighbor Smith,—But és it borne equally ? Our Reply. —No ibae uot, Hunureaus and thous. nothing } aol yeh strange to largest nominal payors of taxes, For instance, neighbor Brown pays $20,000 @ year taxes bo the governinent. He pays tWo coilars for every ove of the 10,000 gailons of whiskey thas he distiaeach year, But he cuarges this tax, and @ little move, &0, in the price of Wwe wuiskey woen he sella it; 60 that be really pays nothing as all. In this way the greatest inequality caste; nor is it clear how this inequality can be remeded, If Brown's workmen strike for Liguer wages, be iusmeuiately retaliates Ly charging wore lor his Whiskey, apd thid see-sawing of responsibility gvee on all the t.me, and only comes w so end when, alter some years, the pendulum, operaiug slower and slower, comes to ® point of rest wid- Way between the two opposing interests, Mean- while, each aliernawwly gains the auvantage; and ib is amaposmivle to say ab euy particular time which wide Las triumphed.
