~ During the existence of martial
law in the South, the imposition by the
Government of erroneous taxes on an
impoverished people was the arbitrary
act of the conquerors, and was defensi-
BILE only on the plea that ''to the VIC
tors belong the spoils." Now that
civil law is restored taxes cannot be
constitutionally collected without
granting us representations Congress.
The present system sets at defiance
the fundamental principles of the Con-
stitution, and is nothing more nor less
than legalized robbery. The question
should at once be referred to the Courts
of the country, and the tax-gatherers
should be enjoined until a decision
may be given. The powers of the leg
islative, the executive and the judicial
branches of the Government should be
more clearly defined, and we should be
pleased to see the vital question of tax
alton and representation finally dis
posed of by the Supreme Court of the
United States. If Congress, the many.
headed monster, is supreme, and not a
coordinate branch, as the constitution
afirms, let us know beyond cayil that
we are ruled by men who have over.

The WAR BETWEEN Chill AND SPArS.-The
last advices from the Isthmus, bring interest
ing intelligence regarding the progress oil
hostIlIties between Chill and Spain. On
the Goth Of November the Chilean naval
steamer Esmeralda, which some time ago
escaped to sea from Valparaiso through the
blockade of the Spanish ships suddenly
made her appearance about fCrty miles to
the northward Of that port, attacked the
Spanish war steamer Coradongu. and, after
brisk fight of half an hour, captured 1t.
with all on board, consisting Of oser one
hundred officers and seamen. four heavy
guns and valuable war munitions and SUI
plies. In the engagement two were killed
and fourteen wounded on board the Cova-
donga. and none on the Esmeralda. The prize
was found not 10 be seriously damaged, and
after the prisoners had been landed, she i'm
mediately sailed on cruise, with new othe'
ers and men and under the Chilean flag, ai
consOrt of her captor. This affair ha;
much excited and encouraged the people o.
Chill. A little Chilean steamer has alsC
recently captured, in the harbor of Tslca
huano, a Spanish launch and its crew be
longing to one of the blockading vessels. Ii
fact, the Chileans appear to be wide awake
The report is repeated from Washin n
that our government has been Informed 0
the acceptance by Spain of the offers Q
England and France to mediate for settle
ment Of the difficulties between her an
Chill, upon the terms proposed by our owi
and the British government.

the compliments of the season, was more
generally observed than usual. Some OF the
ladies counted the calls on them up to IS or
upwards. The newspaper carrier boys went
their rounds and poeketed stores of shinplas-
tiers. The day being the festival of the Cir
cumcisl0n, was celebrated with religious
services in the Catholic Churches. A large
