TAXATION—Wit BCT AND INDIRECT Taxation to divided into two classes of supporters—those who favor direct and those who favor indirect taxation. In England, from which country we have bor rowed the most of our maxims of taxation, the supporters of direct taxes are, in the greatest number, found among the ad vocates of free trade; while the sup porters of indirect taxation, by a natu- ral, consequence, are found among the opponents of this system of commercial policy. Why this difference it is difficult to conceive. The incidence of taxation dis tributes the burthen or equalizes it among all degrees of society in a very short time. But so it is. A new tax is advocated or re sisted in proportion as it affects those en gaged in manufactures and commerce,, and those engaged in agriculture. Hence we find the friends of the landed interest in the ffingilnh House of Commons almost invaria bly advocating indirect taxation, and the friends of free trade advocating direct taxa tion. The same classification obtains in the United States. The struggle in Congress, when taxation is discussed, is, shall the rev enue be raised in the greatest amount from direct or indirect taxes? The represen tatives from the agricultural districts are favorable to direct taxation, in the interests of free trade. The representatives from the manufacturing interests wish, on the con trary, to throw the burthen on those engaged in commerce and manufactures. A struggle of this kind is going on in Congress at pres ent. The manufacturers, in' the adjustment of the taxes, are anxious to make the great' est part of them indirect. Their cry is con stantly for an increase of the tariff, under the plea of protecting domestic industry, which, by an ingenious periphrasis, means manu facturing industry. Now, if an equitable distribution is to have any weight in the argument, the claims ot in direct taxation greatly outweigh those of direct taxation in all questions ot federal taxation. The State and municipal govern ments must be supported. How are their expenses to be defrayed uhless by direct taxation? All the sources ot indirect taxa tion are engrossed by the general govern ment. The States Are prohibited from lay ing dnties on imports and tonnage. They exercise, it to true, co-ordinate powers of taxation with the Federal government as re lates to direct taxes; but what is left as sub jects of import to the States after the wants of the latter are supplied? This question of taxation presents itself io a different aspect in the United States to what it assumes in Europe. There the objects ot local taxation are very limited. The central authority provides much the greaterpart of the revenue for local expen diture. Their principal difficulty is in equal izing the taxes among the different classes or interests of the kingdom or Empire. Under our complex system we have not only to ob serve the principle of equality a9 nearly as possible in distributing the taxes, but' so to apportion them that an undae share of the burthen may not fail on the States. The great fiscal problem to be solved is to raise a large revenue by as close an observ- credits, render it, ae we have said, extremely difficult to negotiate a loan in the United States, and If at such a period there should exist a pressure on the English money mar ket. American bonds will find their way into Wall street to be realized in gol<^ which would soon-react in the United States, pro ducing a like pressure, if not panic. In such a possible contingency the action of the Secretary of the Treasury should be unfet tered by an act of Congress. He will encounter difficulties without the complications induced by legislation. His task is at the present time sufficiently em barrassing, from the action of the National banks, which are under Outside pressure for accommodation, , while he is restrained from employing the too ready resource of treasury emissions, in the shape of greenbacks, to meet indispensable engagements. Under such circumstances, in the probable future, to have deprived him j»f the benefits of the foreign loan market would have been highly injudicious. ' ^ Lettebs fbom a Counts! Gentleman. — We give place to the letter of our country correspondent, not that we wholly agree with him in his opinions, but because he gives u s something pleasant to read, something for our readers to think and talk about besides the Freedmen’s Bureau, the vetoes, the Fe nians and the fluctuations of the cotton mar ket. He promises that he will continue his lucubrations, hinting that he does not expect us always to agree with him. Tbt Next Coa|reu. The usually reliable and well-informed Washington correspondent of tbe Charleston Courier has been to some pains to make a caste of the next Congress. He says: The radicals know that they must strain every nerve in this Congress, or with it their power passes away forever. Without negro suffrage their prospects of a continuance of power are sliin indeed. The next Congress comes into existence on tbe 4th of March, lbi>7, less than eleven months from this time. The elections for members of the lower House begin in October next. By that time party lines between the President and the radicals will be distinctly defined, sad the President's policy will be the only Issue before the people. The result of the last Presidential elec tion exhibited the fact that forty-eight per cent, of the Northern popular vote was Democratic, while lifty- two per cent, was Republican. By October tbe Presi dent and such Republicans as his policy and patron age will carry with him, will naturally have coalesced with the Democrats. This will give a heavy Demo cratic preponderance throughout the North. The present House of Representatives is politically divided as follows : Radicals 12# Conservative Republicans., 2’J Democrats - 33 With the aid of the election returns in 1 -tci, for members of Congress, published iu the Tribune Al manac, I have carefully analyzed the relative strength of parties in the several districts, and conclude that for the closeness of the vote In 1804. the Democrats and Johnson Republicans united have reason to ex pect the following gains in the next elections: two from California, two from Connecticut, eight from Illi nois, five from Indiana, four from Kentucky, three from Maryland, three from Michigan, eight from Mis souri, one from Nevada, one from New Hampshire, two from New Jersey, six from New York, eight from Ohio, one from Oregon, eight ijom Pennsylvania, three from Western Virginia, and one from Wiscon sin. Supposing this ‘calculation to be realized, the total gain would be sixty-six, which, added to the Deoaocratic strength in tbs House, and the sixty mem bers from the Southern States not yet admitted, would make the next Congress standaa follows: Administration — ...s 164 By Telegraph.

Augusta, Me., April 17.—Governor Long has given instructions for preventing any violation at the State laws through any hostile demonstration that may occur from alleged Fenian movements on the border. It is regarded aa almost certain by the Mayor of Ca lais, who sends a telegram to the State authorities ask ing for protection, that the Fenian piovaments in that quarter are of a serious character. The Negro Celebration of the Pa—ge of the Civil Rights BUI. in Norfolk. No*folk, April 17.—The negroes were out yester day parading in honor of the passage of the Civil Rights bill.

The subjects of every State ought to con tribute to the support of the government, as nearly as possible, to their respective abili ties. 2. The tax which each individual is bound to pi^ ought to be certain, and not arbitrary. < 3> Every tax ought to be levied at the time, or in the manner in which it is most likely to be convenient for the contri butor to pay it. 4. Every tax ought to be so contrived as both to take oat and to keep ont of the pockets of the people as little as pos sible over and above what it brings into the public treasury. The diversified pursuits Of modem society have greatly complicated the problem of tax ation. There are classes of objects from which revenue may be raised, without being taxes either on production or consumption, or taxes on purchases or sales. Of such im posts the duty ofi stamps enters into this category; the tax on salaries, on licenses, on professional incomes, on realized wealth, and a variety of others. To adjust these on principles of equality is one ofi the most diffi cult of financial achievements. That there is great inequality in our present system of Federai.taxation, is admitted on all hands. With what success the late commission ap pointed by Congress to revise that system have performed their task, remains to be THE LOAN BILL. After much coquetting the Finance Com- *«nittee of the House and the Secretary of the Treasury have come to an agreement on the Loan Mil. There was' fin evident de sire of the committee to impose restrictions on tbe lsttecyitb regard to a foreign loan,but they were apprehensive of assuming the re- - sponsibilityof cramping Mr. McCulloch in his scheme of resumption of specie payments, ot wfiich that loan may have to canstititute an essential part. It may happen tbatthe money market in the United States may be in a restricted state when the Secretary of tbe Treasury may be most in want of a loan, and the difficulty ot raising money in Wall street may fender a resort to tbe stock ex change of London, Amsterdam or Frankfort highly desirable. The estimates of that officer show a surplus of income over ex penditure far 18C7; but there to a wide scope for contingencies between tbe present time and tbe period when the receipts for tbe revenne are paid into the treasury for tbe fiscal year 1867. The expenditure will be largely diminished in tbe interval, bat there is a large sum dne semi-annually for inter est on the public debt, and to discharge ex isting obligations on tbe Treasury. It wonld •otao to tie np the bands of Mr. McCulloch under such circumstances. The Committee on Ways and Means in House thought it, therefore, best to him untrammelled while fiscal affairs so uncertain. They were no less anx- thantbe Secretary of the Treasury to pare the way for resumption. Hence would not recommend any err ant of tbe limit pf three hundred -millions, placed by law on the issues of the Metiauel banks, while they were no lees anx- tona that the currency should not be reduced vay act <ar movement of Svesito. f* eithar CW- Admitting thrt X Rave been over sanguine in my ofadministrate tion gains, them ia yet a wide majority in the Looking After the Fenians.

The terme of the following Senators expire on the 4th of next March: Radicals—Foster, of Connecticut; Trumbull, of Illi nois; Lane, of Indiana; Kirk wood, of Iowa; Pomeroy, of Kansas; Cresswell, of Maryland; Brown, of Mis souri; Nye, ol Nevada; Clark, of New Hampshire; Harris, of New York; Sherman, of Ohio, and Howe, of Wisconsin. Conservative Republican—Cowan, of Pennsylvania. Democrats—McDougal, of California; Davis, of Ken tucky, aud Nesmith, of Oregon. In the place of these radical Senators will be re turned from Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, New Hamp shire, Ohio and Wisconsin ; aud Administratiouists, probably, from California, Indiana, Maryland, Mis souri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Oregon end Kansas. Tbs Senator from California, Mr. Cole, has already been ohoeen, and is suppoeed to support tbe Administration. Should this calculation prove correct, the next Sen ate, augmented by the twenty-two Southern Senators, would stand as follows : Administration 40 Radicals 24 With this strength in both Houses Andrew Johnson would have more than a working majority. The only hope of tbe radicals, then, is in the disfranchisement of the Southern States. How to keep them out will bo the radical problem,' and here they come in direct antagonism with the President, who is determined to President. The organ of the Colored people In Charleston, South Carolina, in its last issue names as its ticket for DS68, Gen. Grant for President, Hon. Wm. D. Kelly for Vice President, Charles Fronde Adame for Secre tary of State, John A. Bingham for Attorney General, Schuyler Colfax for Secretary of the Interior, John Minor Botts for Postmaster General, Senator Grimes for Secretary of the Navy, Gen. Sheridan Secretary of War. It will be observed that the “organ of the colored people in Charleston, South Carolina," have nomi nated not only the next President, but bis Cabinet also. Before the establishment of the negro burean- cracie, when white men, under the Constitution of their revolutionary hi there, governed the country the President was left to appoint hit constitutions ad visers. We shall see what we shall see. CosoaEse and tbe Veto Power.—In further exam ination of the records we discover that the action yes terday in passing the Civil Rights bill against tbe veto of the President makes the sixth instance where two- thirds of each House of Congress enacted a law with out the signature of the Executive. The cases are as follows; At the second section at the Twenty-Eighth Con gress, 1844-*45, Mr. Tyler returned to the Senate, in which it originated, tbe “bill relating to revenue cut ters and steamers,” with his objections, which, upon a consideration, was passed by Congress over the veto. (St. at L., vol. 5, p. 795.) At the first session of the Thirty-Fourth Congress, 1835-'56. Mr. Pierce returned to Hie House of Repre sentatives, in which it originated, the bill “for con tinuing tbe improvement of the Dea Moines rapids ia the Mississippi river,” and to the Senate. In which they originated, a bill "to remove obstructions to nav igation in the month of the Mississippi river, at the Southwest Pass and Pas a L'Ontre,"a bill “making an appropriation for deepening the channel over the Flats of the St Mary's river, in tee State of Mich igan,” and a bill “making an apropriattou for deepen ing the channel over the St Clair Flats, in the State of Michigan.” with his objections, which bills, upon s reconsideration by Congress, were passed over the veto.
