The Savannah Georgian contains another letter,
and We suppose for the present at lea,t the closing
letter, of the correspondence between Mr.. A. Q.
Lamar and Mr.. Secretary Cobb on the subject Of
African immigration and the revival Of the slave
trade 1t will be recolected thst some months
ago Mr.. Lamar made an application to the Collector
Of Charleston, through 8 Charleston firm, for q
clearance for vessel from that port to the coast
of Africa fer the purpose of taking on board
African emigrants, in accordance with the
United States passenger laws, and returning
with them to q port In the United States. Z"
This application was referred BY the Collector to
Mr. Secretary Cobb, and it now appears that Mr.
Lamar at the same time wrote private letter to
the Secretary, stating that bis object an impor.
tation of native Africans to test the question Of the
con.tituioAaiy of the laws prohibiting the slave
trade. In replying to the Collector the Secretary
Of the Treasury made, however, no reference to
this private letter, but confined himself entirely to
the face Of the application itself. He argued that
it could not be the intent Of the applicant
to introduce negroes on the sams basis - other

According TO the London journals, Indian stock
and railway securities have of late been dis.in-
euished by q downward movement in that mar
ket, which Is far from testifying to the genuineness
Of the saDguine convictions which John Bull likes TO
exhibit in regard TO the state Of the Indian guerrilla
war; and which, at all events, indicates Q stubborn
distrust in the elasticity Of Indian financial resour
Gee. AS to the latter, two opposite views are pro-
pounded. On the one hand, it is affirmed that taxes
in India are onerOus and oppressive beyond those
of any country in the world that as a rule through
out most of the presidencies, and through those
presdencies most where they have been longest un-
der British rule, the cutivators that is the great
body of the people of India, are in condition Of
upmtgsted impoverishment and detection; that
consequently Indian revenues have been stretched
TO their utno,t possible limit, ard Indian finances
are therefore past recovery. A rather discomfort
able opinion this at period when, according to Mr.
Gladstone, for some years to come, the extraord-
nav Indian expenditure alone will annually amount
10 about $50, 000, 600 sterling. On the other h.nd,
il il asserted-the ssseveration being made good by
an array Of stat stca ustratiOns-that India is the
least taxed country in the world; that if expendi
ture il going on increasing, revenue may be in
erased too; and that it is an utter fAlscy to i'm.
sgne that the Indian people will net bear any new
taxes. Mr.. Bright, who may be considered the
most Mduous and influential representative Of the
Z. Uncomfortable" doctrine, made, on tho occasion
of the second reading Of the new Government Of In

while closely pursued by public opinion in the shape

Starr and Owens made some very sensible remarks

From these statements it is inferred by the apol-
ogists of the British Administration tina! there s
not single country in Europe, where, even if the
comparative poverty of India is taken into account
the people are lightly taxed. Thus it seems that not
only opinions with respect to Indian taxation are con-
fctpg, but that the facts from which they purport
to be drawn are themselves contradictory. On the
one hand, We must admit the nominal amount of
Indian taxation to be relatively small; but on the
other, we might heap evidence upon evidence from
Parliamentary documents as well as from the
writings of the greatest auth ortes on Indian affairs
all proving bey ond doubt that this apparently light
taxation cruskes the mass of the Indian people TO
the duet, and that ts eXaction necesstates resort
10 such infames a. torture, for instance. Bot 10
any other proof wanted beyond the constant and
rspd increase of the Indian debt and the accu-
mutation of Indian deficits II will certainly not
be contended that the Indian Government prefers
Increasing debts and deficits because it shrinks
from touching too roughly upon the resources Of
the people. II embarks in debt, because it sees
no other way to make both ends meet In 1905
the Indian debt amounted to f25, ct, ,63l; in 1879
treached abou. a. 600 900; in 1850 f47, ISL Ols;
snd at present it amounts to about $50, OO0, 900.
BY the BY, We leave out of the count the East In
dian debt contrssted in England which is also
chargeable upon the East Indian revenue.
The annual deficit which in 1905 amounted to
about two and half millions, had, under Lord
Dalhousies administration, reached the average Of
FIVE rlilions. Mr. George Campbell Of the Bengal
Civil Service, and Of mind strongly biAssd in f.
vor oftte Anglo Indian administration, was obliged
to svow, in ls25, that:
