of freeze tonight.

Taxa

prosperous regions Of the United
States, are loudly complaining
through the press, Of the severe bur.
dens which they are now made to
bear in the shape Of oppressive tax
alton, how much more cause have
the crippled and impoverished in
habitants of the South to complain
on that score. And yet, they have
borne with remarkable patience, and
but little murmuring comparatively,
the severe infections, which a Con
gress, denying to them the right Of
representation, has seen fit to visit
upon them.
The main ostensible object Of this
excessive taxation is to reduce the
public debt and to enable the Gov
eminent at the same time to meet its
current expenses and appropriations.
But, unless a system of moderation
be introduced soon to check the pres
ent lavish expenditures and apPro-
priations at headquarters, it viii be
difficult to tell at what particular
time the tax-ridden people may hope
for lessening Of the weight Of their
grievous burdens.
We may be thankful to Secretary
McCulloch and Mr.. Wells, of the
United States Revenue commission,
says the "New York Herald for
their timely admonition to Congress
Of the necessity Of some moderation
in their appropriations. Left 90
themselves and to the suggestions Of
popularity in their several States
and districts, Congress might burden
the country with another debt Of
three hundred millions. Mr. Wells
shows that the existing public debt
Of the United States is now compare
lively larger thaadhat Of any Of the
States of the Old World, and is only
exceeded by that OF Great Britain.
BY direct and indirect taxation, we
have lately drawn from the industry
of the country four hundred and ten
millions in nine months which is at
the rate of FIVE hundred and forty
millions per annum. No country
ever did this before, and it is well
understood that we cannot continue
to do it.
@sThere will be a larger falling off
in receipts for the next fiscal year,
arising from diminished importations
and diminished value and quantity
of industrial products.
In this state Of facts is an argu-
ment against the increase Of our
burden Of taxation. Mr.. Wells
throws out the important hint that
the people will not bear with com
posure an increase Of taxation. The
exemption of United States bonds
from taxation is SO far tolerated by
the people, but only in the expecta-
ton that taxes on the necessaries of
life shall be reduced and the debt
not increased.
Accordingly, the Committee Of
Ways and Means have reported an
internal revenue bill which will re-
duce the amount Of taxes, in the ag-
gregate, by seventy millions. But
this would be invested with the pro-
posed addition Of two hundred and
fifty millions to the public debt, for
the equalization Of bounties. The
fifteen millions of interest thus to be
raised by taxation would render it
impossible to take off taxes to the
like amount of fifteen millions from

Here, after considerable opposition,

obstacle WAS placed in their way by the
natives 10 prevenb their further ingress

Colonel stokes and the Presidents
Appointments.

Colonel VIM. B. Stokes, of Tennessee,
who allows himself to be paraded as
the rYbboned OK OF the radical repub-
licans, is making some false statements
in his political speeches that are likely
TO react upon himself His assertion
that the President is appointing rebels
20 Office in his own district is 81 utterly
untrue that all who know anything OF
the facts are surprised at has making
it. But two federal appointments have
been made in Colonel Stokes district
by President johnson. One of these
was Colonel A. E Garrett, who entered
the war at the beginning and served
ill its close, and Was recommended for
his present position by Fowler, May.
nard and other radicals. The other
appointment in Colonel Stokes dis
trict was a Mr.. Bowen, who never
servedin our army during the present
Wal, but was urgently recommended
for his position by Colonel Stokes him
self.
