The taxes imposed by bill which has
Just passed the Confederate Congress,
amounts to one hundred and fifty millions
of dollars, which will have to be borne
chiefly BY the States of Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georges Florida,
Alabama and Mississippi The Richmond
Wig, in . recent article, admitted that
" Louisiana and Arkansas can pay but
little--and Texas not much more. Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Tennessee cannot, OF

Even in the seven States named, particu-
larry Virginia, North Carolina and Missis-
sippi, some curtailments have been made
BY the operations of the Federal army

the narrow belt of country between the

"The Congressional tax-bill, besides
special taxes, imposes tax of two per
cent on every hundred dollars worth of
property. personal and real. In addition,
the State levies a tax Of one per cen.-and
each countys tax will be as much more
thus making at least four per cent. This
levied on an assessment in deprecated
currency, and paid by the sale of products
at the comnissaHys prices, will bring ruin

thus the people of that CO called Govern

Taxation and representation ought to go
together, and as the people Of Missouri
and Kentucky cannot be taxed by the
rebels, We don't see why they should be
represented in the Confederate Congress.
The Richmond papers evidently take the
same view. for they call upon the members
from Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee
to abstain from voting on the $3.50 100000

not interested.-.& Louis Republican

and there having been an utter want of

The IDS was raised in Williamson coun-

Chicago Charter Election.

The result of the charter election in
Chicago on Tuesday, was hailed with re-
joicings and bonfres, not only by the de-
mocracy of this city, but throughout the
northwest. 1t was indeed a most impor>
tant and significant triumph. AS a verdict
against the administration (not the govern
ment) it vastly overbaiances all the fanci-
ed Though not really republican triumphs
| in Rhode Island and Connecticut AS the
w. s.dInS:
1t was strai ght patty fight, and the
result is acknowledged on all hands to be
a straight party triumph. Until now, 1t is
many years since the democracy have
carried the city in q straight party conflict.
For years, until last year, the republicans
have regularly carried it, on straight party
tickets, by heavy majorities. at the mu>
nicipal election last year, Mayor Sherman
! was elected, but a great many republicans
voted for him and great many others did
not vote at all 1t could not be, aud was,
not claimed as a straight party triumph
At the State and Congressional elections
last fall the republicans had some three
hundred majority within the territory now
embrcced by the city limits. Since 1854
Chicago has been the western stronghold,
citadel, and hot-bed of relationships
much so that Chicago and abolition,
synonymous terms. 1t was here that Mr..
Lincoln was nominated. Here was the
western seat of the most approved ADOLF
ton propagandism. Here was the source
of abolition inspiration for all the country
round. The loss of power here has not
been among the aPprehensions of aboli-
tionsm.
The Republicans availed themselves not
only Of all the ordinary machinery of their
party-close organization and limitless ex.
penditure of money-but to catch weak
kneed democrats: dropped their name and
c,lled themselves Union, bringing to
their aid all the potent machinery Of a
hundred scored Union Leagues" and S.
B. assoc atoms. The democrats, on the
other hand, made an open, square fight,
filing under their own name, and coed
humorediy accepting in addition the epi-
tact of "Copperheads" which their oppo-
n, nts applied to them in oprrobrIum.
The result is, in round figures, the re-
election of f. c. Sherman as mayor, l52
majority; the election of E. Van Buren, as
Judge of the Recorders Court, by $50
majority democratic Police Commission
er, City Attorney, Collector Treasurer-in
short, the whole Democratic ticket
straight through, by majorities ranging
from l25 to $50 and II democratic Coun-
cImen to 9 republicans.

Quite a Good Idea.

The administration wants more men t1
help fight out this abolition war. The
abolition press has satisfied the admins
tration that the Democratic party is made
up Of TRAITORS" "secessonis,s and cop
perheads y OF course if Democrats are
such disloyal men, the administration
don't want them in the army, poisoning
the minds of loyal soldiers. So the admi-
nistration has hit upon the plan of having
Union Leagues of Loyal Citizens orga-
niZed all over the country, and then
combining the conscrption law to the
members Of these leagues. They being
pledged to stand by the adminis' ration in
its emancipation aud confscstioa policy,
of course would deem it special mark OF
favor on the part of the administration to
be permitted to enter the army and fight
for the freedom Of the negro.
The enrolment OF all loyal men being
thus complete, the administration will find
no trouble in enforcing, the CONSUMPTION
law The administration, too believes 1T
to be no more than right TO conIine the
application of the conscrlpt act, to those
persons who find so much in it to approve.
Now this is real justice. And we don't
see why it will not work to advantage.
The democrats say they don't like the
CONSUMPTION act, and don't want TO fight
for the negro-the Union Leagues say
they do like all the provisions Of the con-
scrption law and that they would be
delighted to fight for ~. TI.;a
