The SIMPLICITY OF THE MORRILL, TARIFF-A
very fair example of the complications of the
Morrill, tariff, and the difficulty which will be-
pref it, may be found in the mode of levying
duties on the simple article of cotton goods.
Here is the modus eperondi in the discovery of
what cotton goods are to pay -
Cotton, manufactures Of, wholly Of cotton,
not bleached, printed, painted, colored
nor stained, not exceeding 100 threads
to the square inch, countL the warp
and filing and exceeding in weight
or. to the square yard Il e. pr o. I'd.
Cotton, finer or lighter goods of like de-
scripton, not exceeding lao threads to
Cotton ito d. on goods Of like description y
exceeding 140 threads, and NOS exceed
ing 200 threads TO the square inch per 81 I'd
Cotton, do. do, &c, exceeding ECO
Cotton Il beacbed, an additional duty Of Ct per So ID
Cotton, DO. do. III printed painted, colored
stained, In addition to al other duties 10 per ct.
Cotton goods, not included II do, and cot.
ton goods Of every description exceed
ing In value 10 cents per square yard. rs per Ct.
Cotton goods, bleachei 4, unbleached print.
ed, &C. not otherwhe provided for. 30 per Of.
By this schedule it appears that cotton goods
are divided into eight classes, and that the ap-
praisers will have to ascertain by variety
of processes-commensing with counting the
threads-to which class the goods belong.
They must find out whether the article has 100
threads or more, or l40 threads, or 200 threads,
to the square inch; whether it is bleaehed or
unbleached, printed, painted, &c, &C.; and
whether its invoice price is more than sixteen
cents square yard, before they can afix the
duty upon piece Of manufactured cotton.
There will be no sinecures in the Appraisers
department after the lst of April. The Nor
rill tariff very appropriately comes into opera
ton upon All Tools Day, for IL will mako fools
of all the Custom House officials, from the Col
lector down, before they comprehend Is pro-
visions.

REWARDS FOR THE FIGHTING POLITICIANS
One of our black republican contemporaries is
delighted at the appointment of that distin-
guished statesman and valiant warrior, the
Hon. Arson Burlingame, as Minister to Vienna,
the place which our doughty friend, the Cheva-
lier Webb, coveted. Another journal of the
same stripe sneers at Burlingame, and thinks
that his party services have not
been of any such great account that
he should have first class mission. Our
readers will recollect what Mr.. Burlingame's
services" were. He invited Preston S. Brooks
to meet him at the Clifton House to be shot at.
Brooks declined to 60 80 far on so trivial an
errand, and Burlingame, after having vindi-
Gated the pluck of his party, subsidized. Since
then he has pursued the buffalo on the prairies
of Kansas, and has obtained leave from his
constituents, some of whom are slightly preju-
diced on the subject Of duelling to stay at
home. We think that these Services are suf-
ficent to entitle Mr.. Burlingame to the Austrian
mission. The Chevalier Webb had the same
mission as reward for similar services"
rendered to the old wing party. Latterly,
however, the Chevalier has not fought nor offered
to fight duel His latest demonstration was
a general declaration of war against the
South; but no one paid any heed to that. So
he goes to Turkey-a Power which is always
on the point of going to war, but very rarely
doing so. Cassius M. Clay, another fighting
man, goes to Spain; and it is purposed to re-
ward Mr.. Lander, a democrat, for his services"
as Potter's second in the Pryor affair, by max
ing him Governor of New Mexico. Well,
there is no sort Of objection to that Mr..
Seward evidently wishes to inaugsrate his peace
policy by sending all these fire-eaters out of
the country. The idea is not new one. II
has been tried before with eminent success.
The democratic party was always careful to
reward Its fighting men first, and the republi-
cans show laudable anxiety TO follow in the
footsteps of their illustrious predecessors In
this connection may we be permitted to ask If
anything, and If so what, is to be done for
that distinguished republican, Thomas Hyer,

publish In another column letter from Rev.
Mr.. Pitzer, pastor Of the Presbyterian church
rible reports of starvation in that Territory
which have been industriously circulated all
over the country, and for the relief Of which
about million OF dollars in cash, provisions
and clothing have been subscribed in various
quarters or the writer of this communica-
ton the Leavenworth Herald says
He has corresponded and conversed with the mission
airy agents Of the American Bible Society and Sunday
School Union, and with Mr. Coamore agent of the Bos
ten Relief Committee who have travelled all Kan
sas gathering information with ministers elders of
his church scatteEs all the State and has, perhaps
much knowledge Of the facts in the case as any man
in Kansas.
Mr.. Pitzer says that there were only two re-
ported deaths from destitution in the entire
Territory, and only one of these could be
traced out, which proved to be an Indian, who
died from cold, exposure and want of suitable
food. These facts are given on the authority
of the missionary of the American Bible So
ciety, and of the Boston Relief Agent. "The
whole thing" says the Rev. Mr.. Pitzer, "has
been horribly exaggerated" He states that
there has been, and still il, In Kansas, want,
deetitution privation and suffering; but "there
has been no starvation, nor is there any fear of
such thing" He admits that great deal of
good was done by the relief contributed, but
on the other hand that many accepted 1t mere
ly to make up for losses in their business, and
that many who could have lived without suf-
fering by their own exertions have quit work,
and are living on the Relief fund. Moreover,
it appears-as might be expected-that the
politicians have used the fund considerably
for their own purposes, and no doubt it was
for this that the great cutlery was got up. The
letter will be found very interesting.

THE HERALD AND THE MAHONGNG
RAILROAD COMPANY.


'sEhe Course Of the Herald HIEhly De-
structlve &c the interests of Government"
-Isa circulation Prohibited Upon the Ma
honlnE Railroad.
In Consequence Of having made vindictive
and uhscrupulous attacks upon the Admin
isradOn, and thus having given aid and com
fort to the enemies Of the Government the
Herald Of last evening announces that the
President Of the MahOning Railroad Com
pany, David Tod, the recently elected Union
Governor, has gwen orders forbidding that
sheet being carried on that road. The car
rying Of the Herald heretofore, was merely
an act Of courtesy, no compensation having
been received BY the Company.
The reason for taking this step is contained
IN ihe following letter from Gov. Tod, which
was published 10 the Herald:
WMr. Rhodes consulted me as to the action
broper to lake before refusing to permit the
Herald to be circulated BY the agents and
employees Of their company and obtained my
consent to DO what be might deem best in the
premises"
tThet the course of the Herald Tor the past
few weeks has been highly destructive to the
best interests OF our government, there can be
10 question, and SO long as Its proPrietors
zee proper TO continue the same line o.
policy, hope Mr.. Rhodes (who, since my
election, has committed to his hands the en-
Tire management Of the Road) will use all
legitimate means in his power to suppress its
circulation"
Il VIII be seen that the Herald suppressed
part of the letter, the stars indicating an
omission.

sea Island Cotton.
TFrom the Providence journal.

From the Providence Journal
The region into which our arms have
penersted is one of the most singular and
important in the country. 1t is the very
centre of the sea island region, which ex-
tends from Johns Island, just south Of Charles
ton, to Amelia Island, Florida. Here is
raised the famous sea island cotton, which is
so valuable that some of the crops sell for
dollar a pound. The product is small, and
the process of ginning is slow, only the roller
gin being employed. This cotton Is not
quoted in the market, the purchasers being
few and represented by agents from England
and France. The finer fabrics made from
sea island cotton are sometimes worth fifty
dollars a pound. It will be seen that the
cost of the raw material Is Of little compare
tive consequences; and the best grades are
eagerly competed for. In the early history
of the cotton manufacture, this cotton, now
so precious, was woven into fabrics intended
for ordinary wear, and it was not thought
that the upland description was calculated
for fine sheetings and shirtings. The nearer
the cotton grows to the sea the finer is the
staple. A kind called main cotton, from the
same seed, Is raised on the main land, but
although superior to the upland cotton, it is
vastly inferior to the sea island. The plant
ers in this region are very rich, very proud,
very trsitorous, and wholly Snuth OAroli-
nian.

AProphecy Fuianed.


The Boston Transcript recalls the fact that
when the Union Committee from Boston
visited Washington last January, Mr. Mason,
in reply to the wish expressed that be might
sssiR visit that city, said; II shall not go to
Boston again except as an ambassador"--
Masou's prophecy is fulfilled in a way he did
act expect BE goes IS an ambassador, it is
true, but as an ambassador shorn Of his
plumes and the butt Of ridicule, like the
jackdaw that was stripped Of the peacOcks
feathers.

Inper,ap, New. from North Carolina.


The news from North Carolins is intensely
interesting and Important Its to the effect
that no less than forty-6ve counties of that
Stzts, containing Union men, have been rep
resented in Convention, similar to the one
which met at Wheeling last Nay and June,
for the purpose of organizing a provisional
Voyernmsnt for the State. The action taken
by this Convention was bold and decisive. 1t
slectsda 8 Governor, in the first place, and then
dsclsted that the set Of secession passed by
81 the Convention Of last summer vas illegal
and unauthorized BY the people Of the State.
It further declared that all acts passed BY
that Convention were to be considered null
and void; thus restoring the State to its
former position in the Union. This action
has sstonished the whole country, BY the in
sight it has given into the strength of the
Onion feeling IN the State. Il shows that
haa the people are not attached to the Federal
Government and the Flag merely in name,
but are willing to risk their lives and fortunes
+. in its defence. There are eighty-seven cOun-
ties in the whole States consequently more
-thsn hall have expressed their sllegisnce TO
= the United States Government. The course
alopted by these counties will be recognized
by Congress, d0nbfless, Is was that of West
ern Virginia. Their action will be regarded
Is the action of the State; their Governor
VIII be Governor Of North Carolina, and
their enaciments viii BE considered by Con-
gress binding upon the people Of the whole
State. The old Governor, BY his treason to
The United States, has, in effect, abdicated his
ID oGics, and the new one will be regarded as
the only legitimate Governor, as Gov. Pier
Ioint is in Virginia, and Gov, Gamble in
Missouri. OF course this has not been done
without promise or expectation Of help from
ths General Government in carrying out the
~ scheme, as was done in Western Virginia
and Missouri and as probably win be done
in Eastern Tennessee.
The rebels are finding out the truth Of the
old saying, that "a house divided against
Itself cannot stand" and as the leaders

wind which is following. They forced the
o5ious doctrine Of secession upon an unwil-
ling people, and now when the strong arm
