The Cotton Tax.

Through the obligng courtesy OF Mr.. Henry
). Hicksen, Assistant Assessor for this Dist rict,
we are enabled to present Our readers this week
with the late law OF Congress imposing and
regulating the collection of the Gov ernmsnt
tax on cotton. It will be found on another col.
umn. Besides tho high rate OF tar, there are
dificultes aud inconveniences connected with
the business which will prove source Of grea,
annoyance to the people. The Darlington South,
erner enumerates some Of these difficulties ss
follows:
Before the Gotten can be shipped, Il muat
pass through the Treasury machinery for
the collection Of the tax but this machine

he does this, the cotton must wait aod men

able expectations, must suffer. The cotton

appointed by the Secretary Of ihs Treasury,
but these officials have not ss vet been
appointed. That they will seon be appoint.

they have tn take the cath.
But supposing the cotton 10 Re weighed
snd mark ed, still, before u can be shipped,
the tax must be paid, or secured to be paid
to the Collector.
