TIE CorroN TAx.-An Augusta correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Commercial says:
ga few facts, concerning grand shome which
has for it's object tho recovery of all tax that has
been paid upon cotton, have come to my know
ledge within the last few days, which no doubt
will be OF considerable interest to the public, from
the fact that there is great principle and an inn
mense amount OF money involved Herschel V.
Johnson of this State, is one OF the principal par
ties concerned and il in company with other
prominent politicians and lawyers.
zone of the influential friends alluded to by Mr..
Johnson, in the circular which he is scattering
over the North, is Charles OCOnnor. Of New York.
They already have about aS OF these claims
for TIE rounding of taxes paid upon cotton by
parties in this State alone, while ther colleagues
In Alabama have upwards of 20 000 900, and conf
denty expect to have 80 600 OOO collected together
by the time Congress convenes, when they will
present the matter with all Of its merits, and
offer bonus of 30,000000, to carry it through.
In the event Of success, they will return 40 900
to the tax payers and retain tho other 10,00O,OOO
for services rendered. Should this scheme provo
successful the result can readily be foreseen, and
the entire amount of revenue which had been ac-'
crued from that source will hayo to he refunded.
The erop of cotton raised this yoar is larger, no
doubt, than any yield since 1861, and TINT fact,
with the increased foreign production, has so re-
duced the price lit only being worth 12lc to day.
that many planters say they will be utterly unable
to meet their obligations, and aeem to anticipate
nothing short of bankruptcy and financial ruin as,
in almost every instance, their crops have been
pledged to the commission houses for the payment
of advances made early in tho season, upon csti-
mates greatly in excess OF the present prices"
