patience and resignation which character

SAD; but when the useful and honored are
called to ''pass through the dark valley and

Tax on Cotton.

1t IS not possible to conceive :. mea-
sure moro clearly in conflict with the
splrlt OF the Constitution, with jus-
tlce, fair dealing and amicable rela-
tons, than is the tax on cotton.
The Constitution, section 8, clause
l, says: "All duties, imposts and
eXclses shall be uniform throughout
the United States.
Section says: NO tax or duty
shall be laid on articles exported from
any State.
NO preferences shall be given by
any regulation of commerce or reve-
nue. to the ports of one State over
those Of another
The tax on cotton and tobacco is
IN haSrant violation Of the spirit of
these provisions of the Constitution,
and is sectional" in the worst spir.t /
OF that crime, and could not for L
moment stand the test before an
honest and intelligent judiciary.
For illustration, If the question
had arisen in the Convention. as to
whether it was intended the Consti-
tuition should authorize one section
to tax an article produced solely i'm
another section, 40 one doubts it
WoHld have been unanimously rcpu-
dlatcd, as being IN deadly conflict
with the provision for uniform, equal
taxation throughout the country, in
the eighth section, above quoted. In
the present instance, it is attended
with that EXTREMIST aggravation, non
representation Of the parties taxed,
end the contiscation of labor.
Nothing can be clearer than that
the meaning Of the Constitution is,
that the products of property Of every
section shall be equally taxed. If, to
the cotton and tobacco of the South,
All equivalent tax had been laid upon
the hay, cereals and manufactures of
the North, it would have had some
show of justice. some pretencc to be
i'll accordance with the spirit of the
Constitution and the clearest Justice.
1t is 4 bill of denominations, richly
deserving a veto, and it is to be hoped
tho tax will =" resisted to the utter
most extent Of the law. Such legis-
lation Is the essence Of :. vindictive
despotism and grossly ignorant states
manship. 1t has no clement Of j,ls-
tlce or of sound policy, for, while
robbinS the planters, 1t tends seri
ousiy to diminish production, and
thus, incidentally, to do great injury
to tho trade of the North 1t is a
wrong. calling for condemnation from

A Scotchman,s View.

n Scotchman's View.
DIR. McCosh, Il learned and distin-
guished Presbyterian divine of Scot
land, attended the late General AS
sembly of the church in this country
at st. Louis. In an address to that
body he used the following sienifi-
cant language in relation to the NEGRO
race and its destiny:
what were we to do with the CO.
lored population? This was ques-
ton in which the people of Great
Britain feel deep interest. We
have accomplished great work, but
there was greater work than we had
yet had before us. He spoke as u
man who had had occasion to study
this subject. The great problem
was, Is tho white man ever to i'm
prove the black man? He was sorry
to say that Great Britain had not set
tied this problem, although she had
attempted it.
"Said the speaker, I tell you this
frankly. We have had race of the
noblest savages in the world-the
New Zealander l believe we meant
to do justly, but we have never been
able to do so. We have been at war
With them-a most painful war-al-
though l hope it is now terminated
We have not been able to elevate the
lowest races. Chen we have had our
own slaves III Jamaica, and late
events there show that we have not
been able to settle the question.
Nov. ] say that the people of Great
britain, and the civilized Christians
OF the world, are looking to you to
see how you will settle this question.
Are you to go on and prosper your
selves, and let the black man die out
Are You to realize that most awful
theory OF Darwin, that the higher
races must advance and the lower
races must be extinguished? That is
dark and gloomy view. and l cannot
accept 1t. cannot believe that the
white man is to prosper and the black
man IS to fade away little by little
until he is extinguished My hope
IN God is that you, with an energy
that characterizes your efforts, will
settle the question, and that the
churches of Christ may meet in har-
mony and union for that purpose.
IL am not speaking of politics on
tins question, bnt I am speaking of
what steps You are to take to train
these people to industry, to increase
their intelligence, and make them, in
some measure, equal to you, not
merely in civil matters, but equal to
you III general advancement. Your
State must take such course; but the
State cannot do it alone. 1t must be
done by your churches. And I con
fcss | have been looking to you-to
the old Presbyterian Church-as tax
ing the initiative in this matter. You
have an influence, and ought to have.
Il must say I would like excessive
lv to sec the North and South closely
united In this work; for the North to
say We have spent all this fur 80,
sake of the black man; and let Ii.
! South say we are friends of the hl:; !,
man. And [ would like to ...e this
union consummated between Chris
tan men North and South, for then l
believe you would be brought more
closely together in the work to which
l trust you will devote yourselves,
and You will have the best wishes OF
the best men in Europe >

MORE PROTECTION NEEDED. And
now we have developments of IL

Lawrence, Massachusetts. It appears
from the coroner's inquest that q
Mrs. Rogers has received infants.
generally illegitimate, and from a
month to q year in age, to board.
Sometimes she has had as many as
nine boarders of this class at once
Last week. she had six. There was a
coroner's inquest on one of them last
Saturday. On Monday, neighbor
looked in and saw the unburied BODY,
black, covered with maggots, and the
eyes not closed. An infant then in
the woman's arms was apparently in
q dying condition. OF the one dead.
witness expressed the opinion that
the wretched infant chad sucked its
fingers to the bone, and quite raw in
the agonies of starvation" Several
similar cases We're mentioned in con
ncctlon with this Herodian hotel, or
among infant boarders lately taken
away from Mrs. Rogers. The bill of
fare, to use the expression of the
witness, was 'hour-gruel scared with
milk. 1t was also stated that some
of the mothers hoped the children
would die, thus relieving them of
paying dollar a week to the woman.
All this in Massachusetts. But as
the little sufferers were not in Louisi-
ana, nor 'colored," nor reconstruct
ed, nor drawing Government rations
OF white sugar, nor costing the coun-
try SS,OO0,OO0 annually, there is no
talk of establishing branch of the
Bureau ut Lawrence us q means of
protecting infants from starvation.
Even Sumner, who has offered peti-

or similar luxuries from half the re-
constructed negroes in the country,
has not seen fit to present this Law
