The Tax ON Tobacco.

A meeting Of the tobacco manufacture :
of Pittsburg and vicinity was held on
Wednesday last It was held in respor .
to circular issued by the manufactuT, 5
of New York, for the purpose Of consid -
ing the propriety of memorislizing Con-
gress to levy the tax on leaf tobacco in
stead of on the manufactured article. The
circular from New York was read, after
which there was general interchange Of
opinion in relation to the expediency of
the movement.
A delegate from the Manufacturers As
sociatiou of New York was present, and
by invitation explained the object of the
movement at length, and supported his as
sertions by copious statistics. He stated
that $90,0OO,O0O worth of tobacco was
produced each year, on which the govern
ment should receive revenue tax, of $2O,-
100000. Owing to TIE fact that the tax
was levied on the manufactured article,
less than $l2,O0O,000 revenue was secureed
whereas, if the tax was imposed on the
leaf, not only will the chances of fraud be
reduced, but the government would receive
the full amount of revenue to which it is
entitled.
After some further discussion, resolu-
tion was offered and adopted, setting forth
Us the sense of the meeting that the tax
should remain as it is, and that memorial
TO that effect be. transmitted TO Congress.
Messrs. Grazier and Hays vert appoint
d as delegates to attend the National Con-
vention of Manufacturers, to meet in New
York, and were instructed to vote against
any ohenge in the law in this respect. Al
ter the tronssstfon of some unimportsut
business the meeting adjourned.

Cheap FueI and Rood.

The subject of organizing cooperative
societies in the larger cities of the East,
is being agitsted. The idea of these so
cieties is TO enable the poor and industrial
classes to procure cheaper food and fuel
than they can obtain from the large class
of middle-men who lay tribute on every
thing as it passes from the hand eff the
producer to the consumer.
The practiosbility of such societies is
proved by the fact that in England, as
late as April last, there were 800 orgsnizs-
tiOns of this kind with an aggregate men,
bership oflOO,OOO, and showing in every
respect the most desirable results. These
societies introduce a new element of COM
petition into the business interests of the
people. They are calculated to introduce a
spirit of competition into business, which
ensures those who most feel the pinchings
of high prices, of food sRd fuel at the
lowest possible rates. They are calculat-
ed to break down exhorbitant and exact
ing monopoles. Like all cooperative
schemes, of which manufacturing COM
panies, insurance Offices, railroads, churches
and schools, ara examples, they combine
advantages which -osnnot be attained by
individuals, and must be adopted
throughout the country.

sOuthera. UnanimIty DelusiOn.

HOuIheERs Unanimity q DelusfOu.
By deItrous management during the
earlier stages Of the war, Davis succeeded
ia creating the impression that the South
were a unit on the subject of continuing
the war. Though States and individuals
were drsgooned into submission in the be-
ginning, Davis so pulled the strings and
danced the puppets, as to create the i'm
preston IN Europe that the people of the
south were welded together in a fiery heat
of devotion to the aConfederacy." Such
wonderful unanimity of purpose the ma
tiOns of the Old World had never beheld.
The men were ready to die in the last
ditch. This generation we're prepared to
be offered up on the blazing altar of devo-
tion to the 'pstrisrchal institution" The
women were stepped in an equal fiery ar
dor. They urged on the chivslry. They
lsshed the poor wretches who were dis
posed to be unwilling martyrs. So also,
Cufee was supposed to have his dark bo-
som agitated with loyalty to his master.
BE was ready to bear new burdens, to
swest under new loads, to endure new
stripes, and ey en- to face the leaden hail of
death out of love for the beatitudes and
blessings of the Institution that furnished
himself and family weekly allowance of
corn and bacon, of molasses and hominy.
Such wondrous devotion had never been
witnessed. The nations of the Old World,
accustomed, from long experience to the
necessity of an antagOnistio party in times
of war, we're startled by so remarkable an
exhibition of seeming unsnimity. They
saw but the surfsce-workings. They did
not know By what afearftal aeePotisra Davis
managed TO rule. They heard nothing of
the imprisonments and murlerings which
were perpetrsted by the rebel leaders,
They heard nothing bnt the Establishments
of Davis's rebel Press.
But the mask is being torn of. The
hollow deceptions practiced are being thor
oughly exposed, and it is growing more
and more apparent from day to day. The
wedge of discord has entered the rebel
ranks. A large portion of the Press is
taking the alarm and denouncing, in strong
terms, tue tendency of the rebel Govern
ment to absolutism. They see in it all the
evils to.which they imagined themselves
exposed in the Union, The secret sessions
OF the rebel Congress grow more and more
frequent, and, at the same time, excite
more and more hostility. States quarrel
with Davis about their quotas. The long
stifed desire for peace is finding voice. The
reconstructionists aregrowing bolder. The
opposition to Davis is bitter in many yplsces
in the South. Governor Brown is de-
nounced, and denounces in turn. Disin-
tegration is begun in the South. Division
to them is death, while here in the North
the unanimity of the peoples greater than
ever. The hollow shell of rebellion must
soon give way, and then will be seen how
great delusion is the talk of rebel unan-
unity.

Dedication Of Mt. UuIOrs College
Fdf6ea.

Dedication Of Mt. UuIOEs College
Edidee.
The dedicstory exercises of the new and
spacious edifce of Mt. Union College, took
place on Thursday The large hall was
crowded with an 1nterngenr audience
brought together by the announcement
of an address by Secretary Chase. Col
onel Harris, of this city, was elected
Chairman. Prayer was offered by Rev,
DR. Reed, of Cincinnati.
Mr.. Chase's- address in noble sentiment
just appreciation of education and dignity
of labor and industry, was worthy of his
fame. he referred to the various benevo-
lent and humane enterprises sustained by
the American people and their generous
system of education as their chief glory
The expenditures in these various direc-
tions during the war were without a par.
allel and most remarkable.
At the close of the address the College
Agent made q statement of the indebted
ness Of the College and about $4,000 was
raised toward its liquidation.
In the evening the hall WAS well filed
Addresses were made by Hon. E. E. White,
State Commissioner of Common Schools,
in vindication of the collegiate institu-
tions.
The exercises closed with formal dedi-
cation of the building to the great work Of
liberal and Christian education.
The edifce is one of the finest college
buildings in the State, and is valued al
from $4,000 to $25,OOO The debt resting
upon the building Is only about $4,000
(including the 50, 900 conditionslly pledged
yesterday.) The debt should be wholly
removed at once.

Reformation in the democracy.

We have already adverted to the fact
that such leading Democratic papers as
the Louisville Journal and Chicago Post
have expressed themselves as favorable to
an amendment of the Constitution so as
forever to abolish slavery. In addition to
these, the Stats Zeitang, the leading Ger
man Democratic paper of the country, now
published in New York, expresses itself in
similar manner. It says the institution
Of slavery is shaken or utterly broken in
the States of Missouri, Tennessee, Kentuc-
ky, Maryland, Delaware West Virginia,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, North Carolina, East Vir-
ginia, and the District of Columbia" and
then proceeds to say that the Shareholders,
to save themselves from loss, ought to
have taken an active part in the anti
slavery movement.
These are good indications and point to
better day, not far of, when sll our peo-
pie will desire to get rid of slavery, the
only disturbing element in our national
system.

The PhiIadelphis Ledger gives an &C
count of the growth of that city during
the war. Among the items not iced are
following: The increase of votes in 1863
over 1850 was Il, ,25O. In 1860, permits
were issued for 1857 buildings; in 1853, 3,
O6O we're erected and during the present
year the increase has been proportionate.
ly large. In the water department an in
crease in the use of over 100000 of gal
Ions of water is noticed, aud in gas of over
90, 100000 feet In 1851 there were 4,417
marriages and 1881 births In 1868 there
were 5,472 marriages and 1926 births.
The mortslity has been greater on account
of the military hospitals in the city.

The Increase i'm the Prfee of New
nHDerS.

The Increase i'm fhe Price of News
papers
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says;
The coming New Year is likely to wit
ness revolution in the newspaper busi-
ness here as regards prices, &c. The ven
cradle Journal of Commerce notifies its
patrons that its rate of subscription hence
forth will be $l5 per annum. This is a
big jump up, but not more so than is actu-
ally necessitated by the high prices of all
kinds of printing materials, manual labor,
editorial services, &c. Two of the other
morning papers it is said, will increase
their price from four to six cents each.
This increase in the price of papers is
dictsted by imperative necessity. Still it
is an increase not as great as has taken
place in other branches of business.
