TRADE OF BALTIMORE WITH THE

TRADE OF BALTIMORE WITH THE
SoUTH.-The Petersburg (Va.) Express,
referring to the efforts now making by The
merchants and other business men of New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, to attract
Southern trade, remarks:
There can be no mistake about the
friendly disposition of a large majority of
the Baltimoreans towards the South, nor
can there be any doubt about the excel
lence Of its markets Its stock of goods,
particularly of groceries, is rot surpassed
in variety and quality, by that of any 9TH
er city, nor can they be purchased else
where on more favorable terms. She has
the advantage too Of being much nearer
to us than the other cities we have named,
and the provcrbial enterprise Of its MGR
chants and capitalists has by railroads and
lines Of steamers, given every needed ia
cility to travel and transportation. We
/ therefore commend to Sou hcrn merchants
the claims Of Baltimore upon them, with
the hope that they will give its markets a
fair trial.

than individuals, on bond and mortgage.
There is no other country in the world
where opehalf Of its capital is exempt
from taxation.
Congress has perpetrated another wrong
upon the taxpayer. Our State banks
paid about half million dollars year
tax into the State Treasury. These in
situations Congress has abolished, and es'
tablisbed National banks in their place,
which are exempt from taxation for State
purposes Therefore, the five hundred
thousand dollars tax which the State
banks paid must be raised from some
other source. These great banking cor
porations are relieved from paying their
share of the public burdens, and the real
and personal property of individuals are
made to pay it for them. We need not
ask the question whether there is any in
justice in this. The question speaks for
iself.-Doylestocn Democrat.

parties have been making inquiries as to the

ries indicate that the trial is to take place
here, it the proper accommodations can be
obtained. Including the court and wit.

be made for at least ono hundred and fifty
persons. Arrangements, it is said, are be-
ing made to convert the Chesapeake Hos.

court, members and witnesses. There is
abundant room here, and with horse cars
running every fifteen minutes back aid
forth to the fortress every other needed
facility will be obtained All this, of

Shall Government Bonds Be Taxed.

This question will come up sooner or
later before the American people at the
ballot box. The exemption Of govern
ment bonds flom taxation for state, mum
cipal, and county purposes is great
wrong perpetrated upon the tax payers
generally. 1t is building up privileged
class, and relieves hundreds Of millions of
dollars Of the wealth of the country from
bearing any of the burdens of the Gov
ernment. What right congress has to
make this distinction in favor of persons
who loan their money to the Government,
instead of individuals, we have not yet
discovered. If I loan money to farmer,
and he gives me his bond or mortgage, it
is taxed for State and county purposes.
But if neighbor lends his money to the
United States, and receives a bond for its
payment, that bond is rot liable to taxa
tion tor any purposes whatever This is
AN unjust discrimination in favor of in
vestments, and one which is at variance
with our system Of government The
democratic doctrine is that people should
pay for the support Of the government
according to their means but the Adolf
ton Congress steps in and says one class
shall be exempt from paying anything if
they will only invest their money in par
ticular kind of securities. We ask our
readers if this is just and right? We say
no; it is class legislation that we must put
an end to. Itgoes to build an aristocracy,
and throws an additional weight of taxa
ton on the farmer and the landed interest.
The rich man who has 500, 900 invest.
ed in government bonds, pays neither
State, County, Borough or School tax ;
while the homestead of the Woodworking
mechanic, not W, nth more than 81 900, is
taxed for all these purposes. The latter
pays for repairing the streets, lighting the
lamp before the rich mans door, and the
policeman who guards his property at
night. So far as the capitalists are con.
oerned, they have already repudiated our
State, County and municipal debt, fer they
bear none of the burdens. 1t is only ne
cessary for Congress to exempt the farmer
mechanic, laboring man, and merchant
when the reputation will be complete
To tax these securities will no moro pre-.
vent the government borrowing money

AFFAIRS IN THE SoUTH.-Late advi-
ces from South Carolina, state that very
little attention has been paid by the army
officers 10 the demands of Governor Perry's
civil appointees, for surrender to them of
superior control in the administration of
affairs, and the State still remains under
military rule. There has been no actual
collision, but considerable disagreement,
and lack of operation, between the civil
and military authorities. Gen. Gilmore,
who recently returned to Charleston from
his tour through the interior and confer
ence with Governor Perry, is represented
as stating that the military will maintain
direction of affairs until the regular State
government is organized.
Mr.. Perry, the new Provisional Gov
ernor of South Carolina, since his return
from his visit to Washington, has made
speech expressing himself much gratifed
with his interview with President johnson
and the members of the Cabinet. In con-
clusion he remarked:
"Let us now do our duty, take the oath
of allegiance, elect good and wise men to
the Convention, reform our State Consti-
tuition, abolish slavery, cqualize the repre-
sentation of the State in the Senate, give
the election of Governor and Presidential
electors to the people, and all will be well.
Immediately after the Convention has re-
formed the Constitution, the Legislature
will be convened to elect United States
Senators, and provide for the election of
members of the House of Representatives
in Congress. This may all be done by the
first Monday in December next, when the
State will be fully restored to all her
rights under the Constitution and laws of
the United States"

Episcopal Convention of Western New
York,

EXTRACTS FROM BISHOP CoXE's ADDRESS
Bishop Coke, formerly pastor of Grace
Church in Baltimore, made an interesting
address before the Episcopal Convention
of Western New York, few days ago.
We give the following extracts:
The question arises as to the restoration
of legislative unity with our brethren of
the South Essential unity has never
been for minute suspended; and now,
it seems to me, that nearly all questions
between US and them will be settled by
the calling of the roll of the Convention,
and by their appearing and answering to
their names. The case Of the Bishop of
Alabama, elected and consecrated during
the war, admits of no doubt, and presents
no great difficulty. The validity of his
conservation is acknowledged, but certain
measures will be necessary, as in the case
of Bishop Seabury, who was consecrated
in Scotland, to give the new Bishop
canonlcal position.
In due time, we cannot doubt, our
Southern brethren will all be found again
in their places, and how shall they be re-
ceived ? Can there be any question p
How was it in the day when all Israel
was restored to David? "Shall there be
any man put to death this day in Israel p
If our brethren have erred, surely they
have suffered if any punishment is yet
to be meted out to them, let us rejoice
that the. State, and not the Church, is the
minister of wrath. 1t is our blessed pri-
vilege to forgive, and as Christians, at
least, to remember no more what we COM
mitted to Gods arbitration, and what in
His Providence is settled and gone by.
On the great national questions that
divided us, no man felt more deeply, no.
body acted more conscientiously than my
SELF | felt that there could be but one
issue to the war, consistent with truth
and justice, the cause of humanity and of
our holy religion. But, | trust, such
convictions were not polluted by resentful
impulses, nor by worse instincts of re-
vcnge, hatred and malice. Aud now,
when all is over, what can a Christian
find within him but warm revival of old
affcstipas and friendships, and a longing
for the old fraternal counsels and COM
munings. Let the power of our religion
be seen and felt by all our countrymen -
Let us address ourselves to the new and
trying emergencies created by the new
condition of things in the Southern States.
Let us feel that such is the highest SER
vice We can now render to our country,
and that it is in our power, as Church,
to do more, perhaps, than others, in the
way. And as nature has begun already
TO cover over the red fields of war with
her peaceful barvests and her refreshing
verdure, so let Grace mantle the past with
charity, and make the infrmities of men
give place to the fruits of the spirit.

practice where young Payne was brought
up to defend the institution of slavery upon
all occasions-in the family circle, in the
pulpit, and at political gatherings. For
years before the rebellion broke out. he was
in the habit of hearing the doctrine of Sc

right that had never been given up when
the several States entered the Union and
as right the Southern States would exer-

made baskets and cups out of the bones of

important principle of political economy or
some great measure of public interests. n

The Union party organization is based
upon living issues which are the great con-
cerl of the nation. 1t is the only source of
support which President johnson can look
for in the conduct of his Administration. and
the great body of the loyal people will main

taiities secure to the country the solid and
enduring benefits of Peace and Freedom.

Coon CoUNsEL.-The Call, writing on the
Importance of maintaining the party intact,
SAYS; Union men must now manifest the
higher order or patriotism-that patriotism
which impels men to sacrifice minor ideas
and prejudices for common good-they
must work in harmony together, if they wish
to reap the fruits of their recent great victo-
no, and to see their country made better apd
and stronger for its late struggles. If we do
not manifest this spirit of patriotism, our old
enemies will most assuredly grasp political
power and our past struggles and sacrifices
will have been in vain. That man who
counsels or advises any course of action cal
culated to cause division of the Union po-
litical strength, is unworthy Of the name of

spirit of patriotic devotion than was mani
