The New Orleans Times says there
is not perhaps on record a law which
gives greater facilities for arbitrary
conduct, stealing, pilfering, imposi
ton, in every shape. delay and deten-
ton, than the outrageous law authoriz-
ing the three cents per pound tar on
cotton. The satraps OF the Treasury
can delay the trade and commerce of
the country to an indefinite extent.
From all the information we can gather,
it will take the entire season to forward
the cotton crop. as reduced as it will
be, to market under the exactions and
delays of the Treasury satraps and
tax eaters.
