The Cnffnn Tax.

THERE can be no doubt but that it is the gene
raj desire of the people, both North and South,
to be relieved by Congress from the tax of q
cents which is now levied on every pound of
cotton produced in the United States. The
New York Chamber of Commerce, an inhuen-
tial body which reflects, in great measure, the
commercial sentiment Of the country, has
earnestly pronounced in favor of the repeal of
the law; and the movement has gained the
support of Speaker Colfax, Senator Wilson,
and other prominent Republican statesmen,
while it is claimed by the Washington CORES
pondents that the President will make
recommendation to that effect in his forth
coming message if Congress does not abolish
the tax during the November session. On
Wednesday afternoon meeting OF cotton ana
woollen manufacturers was held in this city,
and they likewise declared emphatically in
favor of abolishing the tax.
But the most earnest demand for this legis-
latiOn comes from the cotton-6elds of the
South, where the tax is felt to be one OF the
greatest hindrances to the successful cultiva-
ton of the staple. To enable the South to
recover from the depression in all branches OF
industry which has been the inevitable result
of the war, our national legislation should be
moulded in a spirit of substantial protection
to their commercial interests. Whatever may
be the true solution of the great political pro-
blem Of reconstruction, and the social ques-
ton of the relative status ofthe two races, the
people of the South, white as well as black,
must live; and that section must either be
made selfsustaining, or its support must be
entailed upon the people and industry Of the
North for years to come.
If it were possible, in view of the fearful
amount of corruption which now prevails in
the ranks of those who are charged with the
collection of our internal revenue, to turn
every dollar assessed upon the raw staple into
the national Treasury, the highest estimate OF
the result has been placed at s3O,000,0 000.
But it is scarcely an open question as to
whether this large sum would not be of inf
nitely greater service to the country If leftlin
the hands of the planters and their employees.
Land is abundant and the labor market over
stocked, the sole requisite for resuscitation
of industry being capital. When the Govern
ment, in this state of affairs, demands from
the South the enormous sum of $40, OOO, 600 as
direct and special tax on a single product,
depression and bankruptcy are almost inevi-
table reanlts. Moreover, the evils which have
followed in the wake of the cotton tax are
equally distributed, whites and blacks alike
being Affected. The Petersburg Inder makes
the following sensible remarks on the subject
under confederation

Nine Thousand Dollars.

COUNCILS yesterday adopted an ordinance ap-
propriating $4,000 as fees of the Clerk of Quar-
Ter Sessions. This sum, we understand, covers
the receipts of but six months, so that the
perquisites of the office, exclusive of salary,
amount to $4,000 year. We look at such
an expenditure with astonishment. What
does the Clerk do that he merits such a re-
ward for his services Does he possess great
RbiiityH Are his duties so responsible and

Bcendent merit On the contrary very
commonplace man, in very commonplace
manner, can do all that is required. The
duties are simple and easy. There is no re-
sponsibihty, and, as a rule, it is given not
aor merit, but political friendship. Why, them
should the city be thus drained It is quite
time that this extortion should be stopped.

The semi-annual fees Of the Clerk of ousrtor

Such state of things is preposterous. What

either materially reduce or entirely abolish
these fees. Let salary of S25OO or $4,000 bt

A Finlh fnr PhiInnthropY.

A Field for Philanthropy
AT the meeting of the Social Science Conven-
tion recently, in New York city, subject
was broaohed which has not received that
share of attention which philanthropy usually
bestows upon charitable demands. We refer
to the condition Of the working women in large
cities, and to the organization of such socie-
ties as are needed to secure these most help
less members of the community against temp
tation and sin. In our founding of homes for
children, for the sick, for the afflicted, we
have by some means overlooked granting
assistance, or even advice, to the young women
who weekly throng into our city from the
country, some drawn hither by absolute neces-
sity. AT the Convention Mrs. c. H. Dale
read an essay on the subject, which contains
number Of valuable hints, yet does not come
up to the requirements of the question. She
depicted with great force the propriety Of
establishing boarding houses, kept by respect
able persons at moderate rates, to which these
new arrivals in our metropolis could go for the
first few nights, until they had secured for
themselves proper lodgings.
The need of some such organization is most
urgent. The case of country girl, coming
among new scenes, without friends, without
fortune, without advisers, is peculiarly hard
one. She comes to the city, and fails on the
first day to secure work; night comes on, and
she must sleep somewhere. II may be by
chance she is directed to a respectable house.
1t is much more probable that different des-
tination will be hers if she relies on the advice
of strangers. II, however, there could
be established a residence-we will
not call it "Home," or any
name implying charity residence at which
she could lodge cheaply and safely, even if it
be only until the first ignorance of her new
life wears off, she would be saved the greatest
dangers to which she is subjected. We write this
because we hope that some of our liberal and
charitable citizens will take the matter in
hand, and provide a remedy for the wrong
done to the ignorant. 1t is a subject which
should monopolze the attention of those who
are ever eager for the work in the Masters
vineyard, and if any such should take the
matter in charge, and perfect what is so much
needed, the richest blessings of the Almighty
would be theirs. Unto none would the saluta-
ton, 'Tnsomuch as ye have done it to the
least of these, ye have done it unto me-
come with more fervor.
We understand that there is such an insti-
tuition in the city, but its existenceis so little
known, and its sphere of usefulness so limited,
as to be of little or no value to the cause.
Strangers coming to the city would never hear
of it, or, even if they knew of its being at work,
would be unable to find it. What is needed
is an association whose merits will be known,
whose existence will be common information
| so that whenever the wanderers should ask
for it any one could put them their way
There is no. subject on which philanthropy
could exert itself with greater promise of re-
ward than in founding such boarding house
for needy working women.

THE NEW York HERALD politely requests
''the old Journal Of Commerce. to place over
its marine news every day the caption ''FrOm
the New York Herald of yesterday" init
mating that it is the custom to recognize in
a friendly way the source of such extracts"
In the days when the "old" Journal of Com
merce was young, it had the well deserved re-
putation of being the most enterprising news
paper in the country; but that high distine-
tion is now reserved for the Herald, which,
like a miserly monopolist, always imagines
that there are thieves at its strong box.

-. rh,rd MiIitnrY District.

nr.,op-GRvERA1 PoPB has submitted to Gene
val Grant. for transmission to Congress,
report showing the operations OF the Third
Military District since the first of April last
on which day he assumed command. At the
very outset of this interesting document
General Pope shows the bungling manner in
which the President inaugurated the work Of
reconstruction under the laws of Congress.
He and all other district commanders were
entirely without instructions as to the true
intent and meaning of the law; and yet, when
Sheridan and Sickles pursued the only course
possible under these circumstances, that of
interpreting it for themselves, off went their
heads. The Commander Of the Third District,
however, by one of the most unaccountable
freaks Of Mr.. Johnson's administration has
been suffered to proceed in the work assigned
him without molestation. But from the fol-
lowing extract from his report, it will be seen
that he has placed upon the law the same in
depreciation that was given to it by his less
fortunate colleagues:-
81 understood 1t to be the purpose of the
Reconstruction acts to give the people of this
Etruct their State Govern m ments in the manDer
hnd on the conditions therein specified and In
Nose acts TO freethe Southern people, as far as
practicable, from the baleful influence of old
kOlitical leaders, and OF the bitterness and hos
hlity to the United states Government with
which those leaders, as a body, both then and
6ow;were industriously and persstently tor
menting the less intelligent portion OF the
Dommunity. 1 understood from those acts,
'hnd still so understand, that IL was not the
purpose TO permit the provisional State Gov
ernments therein recognized, and which were
almost entirely in the hands of the enemies of
reconstruction, to be used to defeat the eXecu-
zion OF the Reconstruction acts, by whose suf-
Ierance alone they had any existence at ALL"
General Pope proceeds to show how he at
tempted to overcome the hostility of the civil
officers in his district and after detailing the
circumstances of the Mobile riot, states that
he considered it essential to the preservation
of "peace and good order" in that city that
tho whole municipal government should be
reorganized. resume of the registration of

A NATIONAL MANUFACTURERS Convention is
to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, on the 18th of
December next, with the object of devising a
method whereby the present depression in
nearly all branches of manufactures can be
relieved. Thus the great financial question is
looming up on all sides and before the winter
is over, we are destined to have a more thor
ough discussion of the true theory of revenue
than ever before. Our present system, in all
its details, is the sorriest specimen of states
manship that could well be devised. 1t needs
a thorough overhauling and remodelling, and
not until this is done can we anticipate a
return of activity in the different branches of
our national industry. 1t is to be hoped that
the Cleveland Convention will be able to shed
some light upon the subject. Hundreds o
millions of capital will doubtless be repre-
sented in it, and its recommendations will be
entitled to grave consideration.

The Broad street Bm and the City

The Broad Street Bill and the City
Councils.
YESTERDAY afternoon Common Council wisely
reconsidered its hasty action in sustaining the
Mayors veto of the Broad street bill, and by
the handsome vote of 35 to passed the ordi-
nance over the veto. The reconsideration
was moved by Mr.. Hetzell, who deserves the
thanks of the mass of the people for his
action, and was supported in able speeches by
Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Littleton. The emphatic
vote by which the views of his Honor were
discarded, proves that the representatives of
the people properly appreciate what their con-
stituents demand, and that as soon as the
fact that legislation was intended for few
was made known to them, they cheerfully
did what their duty required.
In Select Council the question came up, and
on the vote the yeas were IL and the nays 4.
The bill thus fell on the first ballot, but re-
consideration was moved and carried, and the
question goes over until next week. We
have no doubt but that when it next comes
up it will pass over the veto. Had all the
members been present, such would have been
the result yesterday. The Select Chamber
must see, as we'll as the Common, that the
people are interested in the result, and seeing
it, it would be dereliot to its duty did it favor
the few to the injury of the many. We are
confident the bill will pass next week.

In view of the action taken yesterday by the
House Of Representatives, it is probable that
the whole question will be put at rest within a
week, and the South relieved Of the inou-
bus of the tax by its summary repeal.
In this connection, we would call attention
TO letter, published on another page, from
Macon, Ca, in which the arguments of the
New York Tribune in favor of retaining the
tax are successfully encountered.
