THE Coon Work GOES ON.-The
President stands his ground. We are
told that his frmness is demoralizing
the radicals, and that they have fallen
back from their advanced position.
with view to preventing split in
the Republican party. A Washington
letter says:
The President openly avows his
intention to appoint none but friends
OF his policy. Gen. Wilson's propo
sltlon IN the Senate upon restoration
is significant.

WILMINGToN AND MAScupsrpp
RA1LRoAD.-The Sumter Vatchnaan
has information that the financial
managers of the Wilmington and
Manchester Railroad have so arranged
with its bond-holders as to place them
in possession of about 5000, 900, an
amount which it is believed will be
sufficient to place the road in tho
rough repair and to re-supply it with
all necessary rolling stock.

CHOLERA INDIGENOUS. Quite an
interesting statement has been made
to the New York Board of Health,
tending to show that cholera is in
diSenous and not necessarily con
tagious- it appears from the records
OF the State Emigrant Hospital that
between the Odd Of November and
the 20th of December, 1865, there
were tMrty-one cases of cholera on
Ward 8 Island, twenty-seven of which
were fatal. These patients had no
communication with the passengers
OF the Atlanta, yet they contracted
the disease, and those who died had
all the most marked symptoms of
cholera.

PRosPKCT OF A WAR WITH FRANCE.
Druid" the Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Ne,cs says:
There is every reason to believe
that we are on the verge of misunder-
standing with France. If the recent
opinion of Attorney General Speed
that arms may be sent to the Juarists
in Mexico is followed by correspond
ing action, it will surely be regarded
by the French Government as a
violation OF MIR. Stewards pledge OF
absolute neutrality, and the French
troops In Mexico instead of being
withdrawn will be reinforced.

The Nev Tax Riai.

Thc IL CIV 4&4 kSAsAs
We learn from the Washington
National hstelsiges.ce, that the bill re-
ported from the Committed of Ways
and, Means as an amendment of the
existing internal revenue Act pro-
vides fora number of changes III the
Act, the chief Of which we have
already published. The new bin
modi6es and improves the process Of
collection, especially by omitting
many articles and products hereto
lore taxed. It reduees the aggregate
>of the amount of taxation. in com
parison with the existing Act, by the
sum of 60, 900, 600 or 20, 600, 900, or
about one-fifth.. It relieves many
articles of prime necessity, or which
are of universal consumption, from
any tax at all. Taxes are increased
upon some products. Cotton is to
be taxed five cents n pound, instead
of two. Cotton goods are to be en-
titled to drawback, when exported,
equal to the taxes paid on the finished
goods and upon the raw material
As to the tax upon raw cotton pro-
due ed in the country, it is the gene
raj belief Of Congress and of our
financial men that, under the present
state of things, the tax will fall
chiefly on the consumer-that is,
upon the foreign and domestic manu-
facturers-and that the producer will
not derive any less profit from his
product by reason OF the tax. There
may be doubt ss to this, for the
Southern States need all the encour-
agement which high prices will afford
them, in their attempt to resuscitate
the culture of cotton.
The drawback allowed on cotton
fabrics exported will encourage the
domestic manufacturer to look for a
foreign market. He may look in
vain, however, until the currency
comes down to the same standard
which other nations have established.
The exemption of many raw mate
rlals used in manufactures from taxa
ton is leading feature of the bill.
This will tend to diminish the cost of
manufactured goods to consumers.
The trainers of the bill have follow
ed, to some extent, the recommends
tlons of the Revenue Commission.
This bill will be disposed of before
the tariff bill is even reported; for,
until the project is matured and Sc
cured, it will be impossible to shape
a tariff according to the wants of the
revenue.
