The People,s Press calls on CAS-.

The Peoples Press calls on tax
payers to remember that on Monday
next, the Board Of Police is required
by law to meet for the purpose of
clearing and determining any COM
plants by tax payers for improper as
sessments and clerical errors of AS
SCISSORS" The Legislature it seems
must have had evidence before it, that
there had been many errors committed
by the various assessors of this State
in the assessment Of property, real and
special. Consequently, the necessity Of
the passage of the law for the "relief
of tax payers" In this connection it
will also be born, in mind, (says the
Press) that it is the last day for the
payment of taxes, which makes it
more urgent on the part of the citizen,
who has any complaints relative to
this subject, to be on hand, and ask to
be relieved from an improper assess
ment or clerical error, of the asses
sor."

Sometime ago the Legislature of
North Carolina adopted resolutions
on the subject of national convention
of all tho States, and then transmitted
them to the Governors Of the different
Commonwealths. The object of the
resolutions is to invite "all the States,
North, South, East and West" to
national convention, for the purpose
of proposing, in exact conformity to
the Constitution Of the United States,
such amendments to the Constitution
that the result will be such mutual
concessions as will lead to restora-
ton of our former happy relations"
The resolutions were sent to the
Governor of Pennsylvania, among
other Northern Executives, and he
communicates them to his Legisla-
ture with sharp rebuke to the North
Carolinians for submitting their prop
osition. He tells them that it will be
time enough for North Carolina to
make propositions to the other States
of the Union when the United States
government chooses to recognize them
as co-equal members with the others,
and adds:
While Pennsylvania has no conces-
sions to make, her people, desiring a
speedy, just and proper REIMBURSEMENT
of all the States in the Union, earnestly
beseech the citizens of North Carolina,
and of all the Southern States, to re-
turn without delay to the benign infu-
ences of the government, while yet the
terms Of such a return are easy, and
not to wait for more severe conditions
and perhaps for more serious punish
ment.
The lesson of this proceeding is that
it is utterly idle for the people of the
late Confederate States to assume to
be part of the United States govern
ment, on terms co-equal with the
States that did not withdraw from the
Union, until they are declared to be re-
stored by the lawmaking power of
that government 1t matters not what
is constitutional or right In the opin-
ion Of the dominant section, Might

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, has
written the following letter to VIM.
K. Graffenreid, of Georgia:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,l
Washington, March IL, 1867.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the Sth
inst, is received. The bill you re-
ferred to was passed in the earnest hope
that it would tend to the full restora-
ton of all the States to all their rights
in the Union. The sixth section /
think too harsh, but it was put in in the
House as the result of opposition from
both extremes. At the request of
large numbers from the South, we are
passing a supplementary act to provide
machinery of reconstruction. The
bill left all this to each State,
but there was danger of double organ
izations and conventions, and there
fore, to avoid further strife or differ
ence, this new act will be passed. 1t
IS merely a scaffolding.
My earnest conviction is, that the |
South should not forego this opportu-
lity to be restored to representation
md you may rely upon it, that a ma
ority in both Houses will adhere to
his offer, and execute it in good faith,
md to the letter, if your people will do
likewise. Neither section can be
prosperous while the present condi-
ION Of military surveillance prevails.
lou can do as you please with this.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.

another purpose than that of proving Mrs.

was in possession of the judiciary committee

We have been cautious about adopt.

We have been cautious about adopt
ing an opinion which it seemed very
easy to accept from prejudice, to the
effect that Lees military genius as ex-
hibited in the war was much superior
to any exhibited on the other
side. But the more we have
read of Northern publications on
the war the more clearly it
has seemed to us that true record of
Lees operations will place him among
the first commanders in history.
There was absolutely no end to the
men and material brought against
him, while his own resources
were much smaller than has
been imagined. And yet it cannot be
said that he ever failed in anything he
undertook, except in making his es-
cape from Petersburg. He failed in
this for reasons over which he had no
control, the chief of which was the fail
ure to deposit provisions at the point
on his route of retreat which he had
designated. Sometime before he reach
ed that point railroad train carrying
provisions to be left there took them
on to q distant station by mistake.
Consequently, Lee had to stop to for
age, and was overtaken. But for the
error we speak of, he would certainly
have formed junction with johnson.

Those who advise the South to mac
ton now, as if she by that policy could
save the CONSTITUTION as It was" play
the very same part which was assumed
by the Girondists of France in the
great Revolution. These men, it has
been said, kept harping on the ques-
ton of Law or No Law, when the
issue was Life or No Life Doubtless,
if they could have had their way, they
might have made France respectable.
But they could not have their way, and
their fatal mistake was that they failed
to see this impossibility until it was
too late. The consequence was, the
Revolution walked over them and
crushed them into the dust-Galves-

Total ...---....-.--....- ,496 462 29s
The total receipts in England in the
year 1866 were: From America,
1,156, 100 bales; from Brazil, 404, 500 ;
from Egypt, 2000S3; from West
Indies, 90,274; from the East Indies,
1,544, 675; and from China, 1898 !;
making total imports in 1S66-3,4O
020.
The exports to the same date were ::
From all ports in England, and of all
kinds of cotton, 1920 bales against
122,2S4 bales in corresponding period
of 1866. The actual export from the
kingdom in 1866 was 1866 65 bales.
The average weekly consumption of
cotton, of all kinds, in the United
Kingdom, in 1865, was 39,l3O bales.
In 1866, the average was 1850 bales.
The cotton reported at sea for Great
Britain, in 1867, is $4,000 bales Amer
lean, and 100000 bales East India and
other kinds, against 100000 American
and $4,000 East India and other kinds
in 1866.
1t will be seen by the foregoing that
the exports of cotton from Great Brit
ain up to 21st of February, 1867,
amounted to only 1920 bales; and
as the total exports of 1866 were
l,l36, 565 bales, the demand for export
the balance of this year will be about
100000 bales. In the reported
amount of cotton at sea for Great
Britain, 21st of February, 1867, it be-
ing $4,000 bales less than at the same
period in 1866, we are presented with
remarkable feature in the trade. OIL
this deficiency 100000 bales are repre- |
scented in the East India trade, which |
would freight 100 vessels according to
the average receipts at Liverpool by
vessels in that trade
The stock on 21st February, 1867,
in the United Kingdom, was $4,000.
The probable requirements of the bal
ance of the present year, from 21st
February, will be 100000 bales, tax
Gu as follows: For consumption, As
weeks, say 10000 bales per week, (last
year it was 1880, weekly average
through the year, is $500, 900, and for
export 100000.
The export from Brazil and South
America, which last year amounted to
4O4, 1865, will no doubt be greatly les
sened by the war which has continued ]
in that country. \
From these facts, the conclusion may !
be logically drawn that all the present |
stock will absolutely be needed before :
long, no matter how many failures may b
result from overmuch speculation. As il
10 1ne crop of the present year, the Il
estimates which were made before the e
late hoods, must be considerably re. L

SPIRIT OF ovEMENT. -Amite
County is making efforts for Railroad
from Summit, on the New Orleans and
jackson road to Liberty. The people
and property owners of Summit pro-.
pose to subscribe 100000 of stock,
and another 100000 can be secured,
it is said in the Northern and Western
States Less than half million OF
dollars will build the road. A public
meeting is to be held in Liberty soon,
to arouse public attention to the mat
ter. The Liberty Advocate, without
any apparent exaggerration, says that
every man in Amite County, can sub
scribe the full value of his land at pres
ent, and when the first spade full of
earth is thrown from the track, his
land will be doubled in value.
AS further evidence of the progress
sive spirit displayed by the people OF
Amite, we notice in our exchanges
from that county-by the way two ex-
cellent papers, The Herald and The
Advocate proceedings OF arecent

Our business and travelling COM
munity, as well as the stockholders,
have reason to congratulate themselves
that amid the disasters from the re-
cent unprecedented floods in the in
terror, which swept away important
bridges, and interrupted, for many
days, the freight traffic of other roads,
the New Orleans, jackson and Great
Northern Road escaped unscathed,
and has not suffered an hours inter-
ruption of it's important and lucrative
business. Under its present able and
judicious management, like piece of
well balanced machinery, it works with
commendable regularity and efficiency,
and promptly meets the many and in
creasing demands of the public on it,
The recent material reduction of its
tariff for freight and travel furnished
the public the most convincing proof
of the desire of its present manage
ment to conserve the interest of its
large class of patrons, at the same
time that it maintained a due regard
for the interests Of the company
