their cooks. ''My good friends" says he,

support Juarez. Secondly, if Mejia
would pronounce against Maximilian
and declare himself Emperor, he,
Negrete, would either fight for him
or disband his forces.
To this artful approach, General
Mejia replied, in substance, that no
such proposition could be entertain
ed and that lie was prepared to en-.
force obedience to the present order
of things.
General Meiia also sent verbal
message to Negrete, stating that he
considered him nothing more than a
Yankee General; that lie was fully
aware he was in communication with
the Yankees, and was receiving arms,
and money, and men, wherewith to
destroy the peace of Mexico.
1t is well authenticated fact that
Juarez did receive thirty thousand
stand of arms from the Yankee Gov
ernmcnt. They were sent from St
Louis to Santa Fe, thence to Arizona.
There they were condemned and sold
at sham auction. They were al
"bought' by Juarez's agents. They
could afford to outbid all competitor:
at the sale, simply because they pait
nothing. The arms were shipped tC

Nothing more if importance occurred

General Negrete made demonstra-

Sunday night, about 10 o'clock, a
sharp skirmish occurred, lasting
about half an hour. Cortinas was
in command of the Liberal force en-
gagged. General Mejia routed him
with case, capturing some prisoners.
A spy was also captured, who was
shot the following morning.

THE INCOME TAX.

The Courier of last week makes
an attack upon the justness OF the
Income Tax law. After few gen.
eral charges it makes the following
brilliant point
"If one man has an income OF
81, 900, he is let Off with tax of five
per cent; while his neiohbor, who
has an income of $4,000, is taxed
ten per cent?
Either the editor of the Courier is
eitber very ignorant or else he lies
willfully with the intention of deceiv.
ing tax. payers. We know that he
assumes to know great deal, and
does not like to be thoaght ignorant,
and will therefore consider him as q
large liar on small scale. But for
fear that he has not read the law and
may possibly be ignorant on this one
point, we quote the clause referred
to, and hope il may set him straight
as regards the Income Tax:
"That there shall be levied, col.
lected, and paid annually upon the
annual gains, profits, and incomes OF
every person residing in the United
States, or of any citizen Of the Uni.
ted States residing abroad, whether
derived from any kind of property,
rents, interests, dividends, or salaries,
or from any profession, trade, en-
ployment, or vocation, carried on in
the United States or elsewhere, CT
from any other source whatever, q
duty Of five per centum on the ex-
cess over six hundred dollars and
not exceeding FIVE thousand dollars
and duty Of ten per centum on the
excess over Eve thousand"
Thus, Bro. G., il your income ID
just five thousand dollars you pay {
tax of five per cent. on the amount
over six hundred but If your in
come is five thousand ard one dol
lars, the law requires you to pay ter
per cent on the excess-ten cents on
the one dollar Won't you correc
the mistake, and acknowledge tha
you have never read the law and are

THE COTTON QUESTION,

III tne lhlantcy OF tne keDelllOn IL
was generally conceded that the
Shareholders had voluntarily aban,
doned their monopoly and sent it
begging for adoption by other coun-
tries. The Shareholders, as q class,
have passed away, and the Gotten
monopoly has fallen from their grasp.
The question is who will receive the
inheritance 1t is among the curios.
itics Of this remarkable transaction
that the public mind was fixed in the
belief that the Shareholders and the
South were one; that none but tho
former could produce cotton; that
they were everything and that the
soil was nothing; in short that if they
refused to produce it, or were other
wise prevented from doing so, nc
cotton could be grown. This is now
seen to be delusion. The Slave.
holders disappear, but the South re.
mains just where it was-the soil.as
fertile the labor is still there, the
world still clamors for cotton, and in
the words of the Liverpool Journal,
"the Americans will grow all the cot
ton they probably can, and do what
they did before, command the English
continental markets of Europe The
monopoly for the moment has slip
ped from the grasp Of the South. 1t

First, American cotton is as indis
pensable to the British industry as
gold is the bank of England. The
trade reports at this moment
prove this to he so; notwithstanding
the influx of cotton from other re-
gions, our staple has never lost it's
supremacy in the price list. Anong

er. Such prices as now rule the MAJ
ket-or lower--will enable Northern
capital to employ labor at generous
rates and produce cotton in abnn'
dence. The shareholders gone, the
land remains with all its vast produc
tive capacity. Heretofore it was
only the individual Yankee that came
in contact with the Cotton process
Hereafter they will swarm in every
plantation. Who can doubt the re
suit? Their inventive faculty will

The Observer in a note to an article en-
titled "The Political Insigniacance of Port

TO nominate candidate for the Mayoralty,
came within hail's breadth of rejecting the
name Of our present admirable Mayor, and OF
selecting in his stead an individual, whose
domination would have been an insult to the

it,"
We think the writer in the Observer must
have been misinformed. We have not the
slightest suspicion in relation to his allusi0n,
but we know that when the delegates to the

understood in advance of their action that they

M .sonio Installation and Celebration.

Mr.. Edaor:-The Methodist church was
we'll filed on Monday Evening of the present

the present year; Geo. w. Lowell, W. N. (;

The officers were installed by Most Wor-
shipful Bro. Rufus Stanley of your city; after
which very appropriate and Interesting adj
dress was delivered by Bro. d. c. Emery
His theme was the Past and Present OF Har
mony Lodge. Bro. Emery has for many years
been an active member Of the Lodge, and no
one feels deeper interest in its prosperity, or
has labored more earnestly to secure it. In
the preparation of this address he has placed
he members of the fraternity nnder renewed
obligations to him.
At about the hour Of nine, the church was
deserted, and the crowd were seen Fastening
in the direction of the Gorham House-now

As the head of the column approached the no.

by the foul odOr proceeding from the dining
ball. Notwithstanding the ferceness of the
assault and the multitude of assistants, mine
host was equal to the emergency, and gave
undisputable evidence Of the possession OF
those peculiar qualities so essential to success
in the management of hotel. For three
hours the action continued the whole length
of the line, without cessation, till the worthy
Bro. who presided with SO much grace and
dignity, after consulting the Chief Engineer,
concluded that any further attempt by direct
assault would be useless. considering the in
mense quantity of munitions in store within
the magazine of the fortress. The assaulting
party retreated short distance, and council
OF three hundred reported the only hope of a
equalization, was in toasting out the garrison.
Not satisfied with this, they toasted everybody
and euery-body's cye, and euery body had a
good time, and went home satisfied that some
thiGgs can be done as well as Others" and

Slavery in Brazil.

In Brazil there are about 100000 slaves,
but their bondage has many alleviations which
Southern slaves DO not. The parliament en-
ter aims the plan OF emaucipating the whole
body Of them at period not far distant. Un-
der the reign of the present Emperor. the
slaves have decreased 100000 while the pro.
ducts of the soil have increased IS per cent.
