M. Evarta, the three who hailed from bright homes in the setting sun, and in whose breasts tlie proud bird of freedom fluttered, walked in etatelily. And the door was shut. The amiable barrister who had . performed these hurculean labors to jret r.s in, did not leave us until he saw that we had good places close to the Attorney General, and he did not rest until he had secured for Mr. Evarts a seat immediately beside Mr. Giffard and Sir J. D. Coleridge. Mr. Coleridge being told by our unknown friend that a distinguished American barrister was present, commanded that room should Lb immediately made for him on the "counsel's bench, a compliment which Mr. Evarts, who saw noblemen stand ing during thC'-Uav, is not likely to underestimate, hlle he could not help wondering at the wretchedness of the accommodation which a great na tion furnished for so important a case, Mr. Evarts all the more appreciated the courtesies extended io him and his friends. . - On the other side, of the room oppo site the jury there is a blossoming par terre of white wigs; fifty-five youn barristers, their gray heads all packed together on benches-which decline in terraces to the floor." On tho lowest of these benches sit the counsel, tho most observed of whom are at first, the le gal wit, Mr. Hawkins, and the square faced, brown giant, Mr. Giflard. The ranks of gray wigs are broken only by the wigless and attenuated Mr. Evnsts, who, as he converses with Mr. Giflard and other solid or florid Englishmen, resembles a thin note of admiration ap pended to a sentence of burly capitals. ("Who is that?" was the question I heard going the rounds when Evarts took his seat. Several said : " He's an American." "Americans are all pale, long and thin," one adds, " How cun rious!) The jury look like eleven doomed men. TlIE INCOMETAX IIEUE AND THERE. John Bright informs the British Anti-Income Tax Association "than only in the reduction of the govern ment expenditures can he see a chance for the abolition of the odious tax." It therefore seems to bo a -question in Great Britain of economy. As long as the expenses of the government remain as great as at present there is no hope that this peculiar imposition can begot rid of. A reduction of government ex penses is one of those measures which eem to be impossible. Public ex penses all over the world usually go on increasing, and, under the British sys tem, although there are immense ex penditures to unnccesary officers, which originate in favoritism, the system, is so tirmlv established that it is impos sible to break it down. In this coun try we find great difficulty in abolish in" the tax, but the cause of our grief is different. Great Britain cannot get rid of the income tax because, accord ing to Mr. Bright, it is necessary to keep it up. We cannot get rid of the income tax because it is tm-neccssary to keep it up. There is no pretense that the continuance of this burden is required by the financial necessities of the country. It is even shown that the cost of collecting the tax is equal to the amount received.

From tho Sentinel. A Card. Editors ofTiieSestinel.--I have just read a letter of H. II. Helper, pub- lisncu n iie Carolina Watchman (as an 'advertisement) and copied into your paper of this day's issue, most bf which is personal' to myself. I wish; to say briefly that so far as the statements in that letter concern myself, they are falsehoods. I add especially, that, the charge made in the body of the com munication and repeated in a hote ad dressed "Mr. Editor" at the close, is utterly false. At the time the letter purports to have been written: Helper! was endeavoring to displace me, ana secure my place for himself having previously solicited my aid to -assist him in obtaining the office of Assessor in the Sixth District, N. C, Which I declined to give. When I first came into this supervising District I had never, to my knowledge, epoken to, or had any communication whatever with Mr. Deweese or any other inhabi tant of either North or South Carolina. The office of Supervisor of Internal Revenue was never solicited by me on the contrary, when first tendered to mo. I did not accent but declined it. But the commissioner requested me toj consider tho matter, and proposeu 10 leave it open for one week, ex pressing " the hope that I might yet be induced to accept the office. In reply to a remark nf mine, he dis tinctly stated that tho-policy of the Bureau was, to appoint, as supervisors, persons not resident of the districts to Mrh hrv miorht ho amointed. After a few dass, in tfeference to the Opinions arid wishes of Wm. Pitt Fessenden, Hannibal Hamlin, James G. Blaine ancLothers of my friends, I accepted the position. If any citizen of this super vising district recommended; my ap pointment, U was without my knowl edge. I have discharged the duties of my office honestly and according to the best'of my ability, and7 as I have rea son to believe, to the entire satisfaction of the commissioner. I have had no unpleasant relations with the manufac turers and taxpayers other than those incident to a conscientious discharge of my oflicial duties, and I believe they, will all bear testimony to the uniform fairness and courtesynvith which they have been treated by me. I have sought to do my duty and nothing piore. I conclude this communication by repeat ing what I said in the beginning, that the statements contained in Jhe letter in question, so far as they concern my self, are entirely false.

Th6 re ward was offered and claimed immediately, but when the Governor learned that Shope was safely in jail when the proclamation was issued, he refused to pay the reward.
