The Hon. E. M. Stanton Secretary of War, came
to Savannah soon after its occupation by the forces
under my command and conferred freely with me
as to the best method to provide for the vast num-
Der OF negroes who had followed the army from
the interior of Georgia; as also of those who had
| already congregated on the island near Hilton Head
and were still coming into.our lines. We agreed
perfectly that the young and able bodied men
should be enlisted as soldiers or employed by the
quartermaster in the necessary work of unloading
ships and for other army purposes but this left
on our hands the old and feeble, the women and
children who had necessarily to be fed by the
United States. Mr.. Stanton summoned large
number OF old negroes; mostly preachers with
whom he hada long conference, Of which he took
down notes. After this conference he was salts

negroes who were absolutely dependant on us,
leaving the value of their possession to be deter

time (January, 1869 it will be remembered that

new hotel has been opened recently in New
Orleans, which boasts that it neither seeks or de-
slres the patronage of Northern gentlemen. An
army officer, who found that he could not secure
me attendance of walters, complained at the
ONCE, and was told bluntly that the servants had
orders not to wait on such as he.-[ Exchange

write 70 Washington that the South is Thoroughly
reconstructed, and beg Congress to admit the
Soutnern members and withdraw the troops. 1t

every honorable Southern man. -

mississippi state Tax ON Passengers.

| tFrom the Messenger, Meridian.I
In the State revenue bill passed at the late session
| OF the legislature occurs the following:
mat one half per cent. per mile for all persons
over twelve years of age be levied travelling over
railroads in this State and that His Excellence.
the Governor of Mississippi, is hereby authorized
| to make composition or arrangement with the
presidents or companies of the several railroads
Tor the payment by them respectively of a sum in
gross in lieu of said tax, otherwise arrange with
said companies for the proper payment and col
lection of said tax
The subject of the above has been brought to
the attention of the railroad companies of the State
by the Governor, and a conference of the presi-
dents OF roads was invited at Jackson, for consul
tation upon the subject. Judge Brown, President
of the Mobile road, returned fromJ ackson through
this place yesterday, and hands us the following
as the answer OF his company to the proposition
OF the Governor to become the agent of the State
for the collection of the tax:
..5 . JACKSON, MISS, Feb. 7, 1866.
To His Excellency Governor Benz G. Humphreys:
After full and most respectful consideration of
your Excellency's proposition to the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad Company to become the agent of
the State of Mississippi in the collection of the
proposed tax on passengers on the road through
the State, receiving for such service the compen-
saton allowed to sheriffs for similar services it
becomes my duty respectfully to state the con.
clusion at which the company has arrived
1t is believed that the law imposing this tax is
imperative and void, being in conflict with the pro-
VISIONS OF the Federal Constitution and that il we
take on ourselves voluntarily the collection of this
tax, by which higher rate per mile on passengers
through Mississippi must be collected than is col
iected elsewhere on the road, ii will involve us in
difficulties with passengers, and bring on us cen
sure from the other States through which the road
runs and which united with the State of Mississippi
in granting our charter. .-r1r
me proposition to undertake the collection of
this tax is respectfully declined.
.a President Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company.
1t is understood that all the other roads in the
State have declined, in like manner, to become
the agents of the State. If the law is to be made
operative, the proposed tax on passenger will
have to be collected by regularly elected tax col
!ectors: We suppose that deputy tax collector
IN each county will have to board every train
which passes and go through the trains AS he
can only collect in his own county, he will have
70 @ give receipts to protect passengers against the
sherlif or collector of the next county 1t will be
q troublesome business, and, unless he be right
brisk man, the train will run through his county |
before, he gets through the train. As there are
several trains running daily, there will necessarily
have to be several deputy collectors. ~
