A singular feature in the restoration of this income tax on Friday night was that Senator WiLson, who had twice voted to abandon it, had the coolness to move that the tax should continue until 1872, “and no longer.” The law, which it is pretended still exists, requiring the payment of an income tax, provides that it shall continue until 1870, “ and no longer.” What faith can the public have in a Senator who has once vio- lated his pledge? Mr. Wi1Lson voted for the law that expired on the first of January last, and he is bound by its provision that it shall continue until 1870, “ and no longer.” It is to be hoped that those Senators who fovor the abolition of the tax will not suffer themselves to be cheated by a midnight vote restoring it, when many of their number Were not present, and when no one suspected a restoration, The people demand that this question shall be decided by a full Senate. Then the result cannot be doubtful. A ai “ Fiske Dismissed—Why not Davis? The President deserves credit for dismiss- ing Joun 8. Fisku from the Consulate at Leith, Under tho laws of Great Britain Fisk has been indicted for a felony, and will soon be tried. If his guilt were doubted, it would be but fair to await the conclusion of the trial before depriving him of his office; but the evidence already published has set- tled public opinion on the subject, and every one will regard President Grant's prompt action as simply just and right. But while the President is dealing with his official subordinates accused of grave offences against good morals, why does he stop short with Joun 8, Fiske? There isa much more conepicnous ease even near his own person, and involving much more deeply his own honor and that of his Cabinet. In this case the proof is not a matter of common report merely, ‘Tho frets have been estab- lished before an impartial tribunal which in dignity and importance far transcends any ordinary court of just They have been published to the world with ail the solemnity of grave official sanction; and if President Grant had any nice senso of what is duc to the proprietics of his own office, he would long since have inflicted on guilty party ismissal. ‘The case to wh that of Joun C, B. Davis, Ass'stant etary of State. The tribunal by which he has Leen tried is the Icgislature of Moseachusetis. The feeis proved are, that for a bribe of sixty thousand dollars, paid to him asa bribe, he told and Vetrayed the Evie Railway Com- pany, of which he was a director, conspiring with others to defraud che stockholders who lad trusted him. These facts have been officially published in a volume known as Deeument No, 122, issued by the Legislature of Massachusetts during iis recent session. And so clear and indisputable are they, that Mr. Davis has not dored to deny them, nor attempted by any explanation to miltigat, their futal force, Now, while upon common report alone the President dismisses such a contemptible and usting creature as Fiske, why docs he overlook the certain ¢ of a great r and consummate hypeerite in the hi sphere of his Administration?
