UNCoNsTITUTIONALIT OF THE Cor
TON Tan The following letter from
the Hon. Reverdy johnson, Senator
from Maryland, and perhaps the
most eminent constitutional lawyer
in the land, possesses more than ordi-
nary interest at the present juncture.
1t is in reply to letter of Hon. Chas.
|. Scott, of Wilcox County, Alabama,
containing these interrogatories:
''In your opinion, is the Act of
Congress imposing three cents tax
on cotton, constitutional? And would
the Supreme Court of the United
States so decide in the event the
question was carried before it for ad-
judication?
New YORK, September 20, 1866.
DEAR SIR: Your note of the Sd is
received here The question you have
put to me, J. have heretofore consi-
dered. My opinion is that the tax
of three cents, imposed by the Act Of
Congress you refer to, is unconstitu-
tlonal, and | believe the Court will so
decide. Very respectfully, your obe-
dient servant,
REVERDY JOHNSON.
We learn from the Wilcox Cam
dem Times that cotton planters of
that County are concerting measures
to have the question tested in the
Supreme Court.

speech on the occasion referred to will

the blush to the check Of his toughest

rascally thieving, hyrocrites who prowl
around the country alternately begging
and stealing from the people
On last Saturday evening the radical
club of Argos held meeting in Kershaw's
Hall; Mr.. Payne was there and delivered
himself of another harangue, in which he
paid the following compliment to the Dem

their country and on their return have
independence enough to vote as they

Mr. Smith of Argos, was another spea>

night. He proclaimed in thunder tones
that President johnson was traitor-a

The abolition demonstration on Monday
was respectable in point of numbers, though
the turn out of abolition voters from Mar,
shall county was small There
were on the ground at the time of the
speech about fifteen hundred persons; many
of them women and children, and a goodly
share OF democrats, and about three hun
dred from adjoining counties.
The meeting was good thing for the
democracy and they would like to haye it
repeated. drunken Dick" Cglesly held
forth in his usual style, and disgusted the
respectable portion of his audience with
his characteristic vulgarity. He openly
declared himself in favor of negro suffrage,
and when our stauneh democratic frien Il
Williamson inquired Of him why Congress
did not repeal the neutrality law if they
desired TO aid the Fenian cause. because
the question was a poser to him he flew
into passion and answered by calling
Williamson traitor to Ireland and
"mean dirty Irishman hired to disturb the
meeting" and said ''he could smash him, "
which remark friend Williamson would
quickly prove to be a lie if he could have
the opportunity. The Governor used his
best effort to get up row, in which he was

fight when they have proper odds. but the

KENTUCKY.-In allusion to the success
of the Democratic ticket in Kentucky, by
from ten to twenty thousand, the n. \.
Herald says:
This is but the foreshadowing of the
course of political events elsewhere. The
fall campaigns everywhere will all reveal
the fact that the disgust Of the people with
the course of the radical faction will over
ride and overshadow all other issues The
people were deceived last year by the pro'
feSSons of the republicans Of supporting
President Johnson's policy. They now
see what thee is in their promises, and dc
not propose to give them opportunity tC
practice this deception upon them again
Hence we find the people in Kentucky not
only regulating the radicals, but defeat
ing all who have even the appearance Of
sympathizing with him.
