Mr.. EDITOR:
HAVING recently been charged by A.
.. Greenwald & Co. with falsifying, and
been peited with epithets too indecent
for repetition here, for fancied part /
took in the selection Of Collector of Bor,
ough Taxes, | desire to make this state
ment and submit the following PROPOSE
tom
l readily admit that [ furnished a por-
ton of the facts published in the Jefer-
sonidn of the Sth inst. under the caption
of Borough Tax Duplicates, &c." and
K moving all such to be the simple truth
do not desire to shirk the least response
bility therefor. But not being able to
boast Of an education received at the Five
Points and not being student of" Brick
Pomeroy," it will not be expected of me
that [ should attempt to characterize
their dastardly conduct in fitting descrip-
tive terms, or in any way handy epithets
with them; and moreover, am entirely
willing, without any further demonstra-
ton on their part, to concede their supe-
riority in that line and permit them, un-
disturbed, TO remain masters Of the mire.
and allow the public to Judge as to whom
the epithets in question ought to be ap-
piled. For the public well know that as,
sertions amount 10 but little without the
proof; and that ridicule and abuse are
generally an apology for brains and facts
and ever the resort of vanquished knaves.
They know, also, that it is by assertions,
course ridicule and abuse that Greenwald
Il Co. have attempted to parry the facts
set forth in the article alluded to in the
JcfersoRidn. Hence selfrespect will ad
NIT Of no reply, as such, from me. Like
all fanatics, Greenwald Il Co. see in, and
attribute the faults to others which they
themselves possess. However, | will
state that | was never an applicant for
any Office under a democratic a1ministra-
ton nor any other, yet the Deputy Col
lectorship Of this County has been twice
rendered to me. Nor can | allow the
charge of falsifying the truth to go un.
challenged. And to set the matter at
rest or put it in more tangible shape,
make this proposition to the parties al
luded to. For every lie or misrepresen-
tation of facts which | furnished for said
article, that Greenwald & Co. can prove,
by proper testimony, that am guilty of.

every attempt at such proof and failure
on their part to establish the same, they
shall forfeit 50, which shall be applied to
the same purpose. And as judges of the
facts, will choose three Of the most radi-
cal democrats in town namely: Judge
De Young, Senator Burnett, and T. NJ.

UNIVERSAL AMNESTY.

Some of the most prominent and iniu-
ential Journals, we are glad to see, are
beginning to call on the President to
issue a proclamation Of amnesty to all.
The reasons are abundan and overwhel
ming The war has been over, now more
than two years. When was 1t before
known that q government found two
years insufficient to punish so many en-
gagged in q rebellion as it willed to pun
ish, and found it impolitic, or refused so
long to pardon the rest, who had laid
down their arms and given every practi'
cable proof in token of submission ? 1t is
impossible longer to doubt that every
Southern man will henceforth in good
faith support the Constitution and the
Union, which nearly all have taken an
oath to support; if only permitted to do
SO. with any consciousness Of remaining
republican liberty and the possession Of
the rights, which, in all our history, have
been held inalienable. Nothing more is
wanted to make q complete paciication
of the country absolutely certain. 1t
would work miracles, in reproducing
public confidence, reviving business,
creating a sense of security to capital,
and revivifying the agricultural, mechan.
ical and commercial interests Of the
whole broad and wan and desolated South.
The action of Congress in stripping the
Executive of power is Illegal His pre-.
rogative Of pardon remains, notwith
standing the adverse legislation, aimed
at the annihilation Of that department OF
the Government 1t is given by the Con.
stitution, and no sensible man will, and
no court can deny his right to its e1er.
else. When that is done capitalists will
no longer fear that threatened conisca-
ton, which would be an unparalleled
enormiiy, and which is forbidden by the
Constitution; and capital would flow in
at once, through all the beautiful and
fertile, thsbgh all but ruined Southern
land. Is this a contamination not de-

rHR REMEDY FOR HIGH RENTS.

"Are you an advocate of high rents;
do you back the e1tortion of landlords p
said friend to us last evening We
answer no. We think many landlords
have charged too high prices--all they
could get sometimes, when they ought to
have had some soul and liberality in
them. Landlords are men, and, ike
brokers and shavers, sometimes IDEAL
hardly with their customers. When this
is the case we sympathize in the feeling
of antipathy to such men. But then we
are willing to "give the devil his due,
and if Shylock exacts the full penalty of
his bond, admit he has the power and the
law on his side. If landlord charges
an exorbitant rent when houses are
scarce, and a merchant makes US pay
thirty dollars q barrel for -four when
there is but little in market, We shall like
one about as well as the other, and con-
denim both, and prefer TO do business with
those who will treat us more literally.
But this antagonistic feeling should be
directed to individuals and not to class,
and patronage refused to the culpable
only. If a majority of landlords should
refuse shelter except at exorbitant rates,
and a majority Of merchants should re-
fuse bread except on the same conditions,
we shall complainingly submit to it,
because we cannot help doing so, and
then afterwards patronize that portion of
the landlords and merchants who are tho
most liberal.
But after all, complain and reason as
we may, on subjects Of this sort, no
amelioration is accomplished. Shavers
and landlords have, in all ages, been
about alike unpopular the world over;
and yet, without an argument which can
be used in favor Of their extortions,
dumbfoundered and with nothing to say,
they have continued, without fear, to OPP
press and grind the face Of the poor
Now, why is all this2 Why has not
all the unpopularity Of those men, and
the denuneiations and curses heaped on
them, long since destroyed their power ?
They are few, and they that denounce
many. How, then, have their extorlions
and cruel practices survived so long ?
The answer is that we are under lap-a
law higher than the Constitution law
Of nature and Of God-the great law Of
supply and demand When the market
for goods, for groceries, for money, for
houses, is well supplied, prices fall and
exioriion becomes impossible. But
when these things become scarce, prices
rise, and men charge high prices without
being guilty Of extortion. Or it may
happen that when they can command a
monopoly Of one thing or another, they
become guilty Of extOriiOn, and merit
the bitterest ansthemas We then would
net defend them except as criminals At
the bar, entitled to be heard in vindica
ton or extenuation.
But abuse accompiishes nothing 10 the
way Of amelioration, and things run on

rayTho New York Herald closes an

B6-The New York Herald closes an
editorial upon Southern manufactures as
follows: 1.-THE South has not only the
finest region in the world for cotton cul-
ture, but the best facilities and the great
est advantages for cotton manufactures
to any extent. From its generous soil
and mild winter climate men can live
more cheaply and realize larger profits
from their great agricultural staples in
the South than in the West, and vastly
larger profits from manufactures of all
kinds than can be made in New England
or old England If they only so properly
into the business To men Of capital
looking about for investments our South
ern States now offer the most inviting
field, and Southern manufactures, not
less than Southern agricultural products,
offer the surest and largest returns on
liberal OUTLAWS Of cash enterprise and
skillful labor" In this the Herald
but gives expression to facts which
are patent to every observing mind.
Even those who are so blinded by preju-
dice and passion that they can see no
deserving or noble quality in the hearts
OF our people, do not fail to discover the
nndeveloped wealth that lies in our man
ufacturing, mining and agricultural facil-
tiles and resources. The fertility of our
soil and the salubriousness of our climate
are the blessings which cur oppressors
cannot wrest from us, and in the posses
sion of which they envy US. We are
grateful that these are still left US; and
through them, more than by any other
agency, do we hope to see our people
rise from the dust into which they have
been trampled, and resurrect that pros
perity and thrift which was crushed by a
devastating and fruitless struggle. When
every stream that fertilizes the fields of
the South shall turn the wheel of fac
tory, and the hum of the spindle shall
chime with that of the gin, we may then
hope to realize that independence Of
New England and the world, which the
development of our resources by white
and intelligent labor will insure to US.
The writer in the Herald thinks it strange
that we do not hear Of extensive in
vestments, powerful companies and great
schemes for the introduction of manu-
featuring establishments in our Southern
States, from cotton and wooden factories,
from iron and steel, to leather, boots
and shoes and farming implements"
We trust the time is not far dis
tant when all that the Northern press
thinks we should have and should
do will be possessed and done by our
people. This is truly the best field for
the investment Of capital in the whole
country, and as our Northern friends
have the capital which we lack will they
make the investment Thereby they will
benefit US and themselves alike.
