SPIRIr OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Constitution. speaking of the ''so-eaited
Southern Commercial C0arenttoR, which
lately assembled at Yicksburg Mississippi, says
it is sincerely gratifed to note that large ma
jority Of the journals published in the Southern
States-representing the moral sentiment, in
tegrity, chivslrous sense of honor, and respect
for law, which characterize the masses of the
people in those Statcs-entirely repudiatc the
action of said convention, and Indignantly deny
that the opinions expressed by that extravagant
assembly are those which are entertained by
the vast msjoriiy of Southern men. The Con-
stitufiom deeply regrets that there are to be
found in the Southern States even fOrty-four
men who approve the revolutionary sentiments
expressed at the Vicksburg convention, and
who desire to commence an agitation which
will weaken the moral strength of the South,
furnish fresh recruits for the Abolitionists at
the North, and thus inlict the most deadly
blow on Southern interests

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

How IT WORKs.-By way Of illustrating the
legitimate effect of the action of the Assessors
in essaying to carry out the Mayors purpose
of paying off the whole of the floating debt of
the Corporation in the course of the next year,
by collecting from the taxpayers at a single
dash sufficient to that end above and beyond
the amount required for the ordinary expenses
of the Corporation, we may properly state that
a gentleman whose property in Washington
city is worth more than two hundred thousand
dollars, is now trying to dispose of it, in order
to avoid the payment Of the tax levied upon it.
His purpose is to move beyond the limits of the
Corporation, in the neighborhood of the city,
and to invest his means in stocks which the
Assessors will have no right to tax. He has
100000 invested ut this time in single Wash
ington city enterprise, which must suffer ma
terislly from his withdrawal from it; for no
other gentlemans labors in connection with it
have contributed more to its prosperity.
We know another gentleman residing in the
District, who few years since removed to Bal
| timOre from the South, where he had accumu-
| lated fortune of more than half a million OF
dollars. His intention was to make Baltimore
| Having rented and furnished a house prepare
| tory to making his investments, among the
first to call on him was the Assessor, with q
printed schedule of questions concerning hi:
property, so drawn up as to satisfy him that be
was about to be made to pay dearly enoughfol
his fancy of residing in Baltimore. This, the
Assessor left, with an intimation that he would
call for it, filled ont answered in fortnight
The gentleman improved that fortnight by
giving up his house, renting in the District o
Columbia, and moving his furniture over here
forthwith. Subsequently, he bought valua
bic property in the District, which he has i'm
proved with lavish hand, and perhaps foul
hundred thousand dollars Of his estate is nov
in the hands of our active business men, secured
for the most part by mortgages on real estate
The circumstances we relate above aptly il
| lustrate the effects Of such means of raisin:
more revenue than the law contemplates upor
the business prosperity of communities who's
interests may be thus tempered with.

very slight ruspIclon. We understan nd that white
man, whose name and residence is unknown, heard
the report Of the pistol and saw the smoke arise
where Eant was standing, and that at the same time
Green was at some distanc. from him. The father
of Green would feel grateful if this person would
send him his name and residence through the post
office, so that he NAV call upon him and learn what
he saw and can testify to.
