The Cotton Tax.

Memorials are being circulated
throughout the West and South,
praying Congress to repeal the tax
on cotton. This tax is heavily
expressing cotton growers, and is
paralysing all trade based on that
staple. Speaking Of the matter,
the Chicago Tribune says:
ga general dependency exists
among the planters, as the reduc-
ton n'price has been SO steady
and so long continued, that the
svails of the crop will hardly more
than suffice to pay off their in
debtedness. Many of them will
be as poor as when they started.
Most Of them commenced planting
after the war, with very limited
means and under very disadvan-
tageous circumstances. They
not only owe their factors and
commission merchants for consid-
cradle advances, which must be
paid out of the amount realized
from this years crop, but they
contracted for labor on a basis of
price for cotton much above what
will be actually realized. Under
the expectation that quotations
would not fall below a certain fig
ure many yentured on expendi-
lures for fertilizers, for improve
ment of the fences, for erection Of
buildings, and for other kindred
objects, which, although valuable
additions to the wealth of the
country, are, nevertheless, in the
present juncture, serious embar-
easements to the owners.
That the Government should
step in and demand two and a
hall cents tax on cotton, just at
stime when everybody is disheart-
ened, is inexplicable. The par
ties who advocated the passage of
this unwise law, are beginning to
see their mistake, and it is hoped
that the measure will be acted up
on Immediately upon the assem-
bling of Congress.

Loyal Losses.
An East Tennessee Re-
publican on the Indem.
nifty Bill.

Knoxville Correspondence Cincinnati Com.
Governor Brownlow consulted
some of the sensible leaders of
his party in East Tennessee con-
corning it, and advised him most
earnestly against it, but his pledge
was given, and, with a blind, abb
ject enslavement to his party, he
proposes and recommends this
bill, which will surely entail upon
the people a debt which will bear
upon them heavily for years to
come, or which will be repudiated
and bring disgrace upon the State
He has the assurance to say to
the people that the Government
| of the United States will relieve
them of this burden and assume
the debt. What will that debt a.
mount to? Can any man com
pute it? There are thousands of
men, who never lost q dollar by
the war, who have already pro
cured proof of losses amounting
to thousands. They are standing
at every mile-post, waiting the
passage of the bill to file their
claims. The whole scheme is an
attempt to feed the horde of out
casts and plunderers who demand
pay for the services they have rem
dered in times past. Under the
plea of indemnifying loyal men
for real, actual losses, this bill
is in fact proposed to keep alive
and active the hangers-on that
follow in the wake of every sue
cessful party. The men who act
ually sustained losses know this
bill, if enforced, will be taking
money out of their pockets to pay
the claims of men who never sus-
tanned any damage whatever
The real losses of the war will be
paid by the United States, in due
time. The loyal men of East
Tennessee will be paid for the los
ses they sustained. The trouble
with the United States Govern
ment is, that it is too strict in its
requirement to suit the class of
loyal men who want the help of
this bill. The losses which this
bill intends to cover amount to o.
yer S25,000,000. What would
Tennessee scrip be worth when
issued to such an amount based
on a tax on real estate. Does any
sane man suppose that the Con.
gress of the United States would
assume such a debt? The whole
project is a visionary one, con-
ceived by men who have no idea
of the magnitude Of the response
bility they seek to assume.

Another Sharp Negro.

We learn from the Elizabeth
City Transcript that a negro ora
tor, by the name of Hathaway,
is making speeches in that Sec
ton, who appears to be an ''excep-
ton That paper says:
Hathaway takes strong grounds
against universal suffrage, and
urges the proper qualifications be
based upon intelligence. He
spurns corruption of the jury box,
but plainly predicts such results, if
carried on in accordance with the
recent decisions of our courts
The speaker, we have been in
formed, was a liberated slave from
the county of Chowan, and now
resides in the State of New Jer-
sey, where he emigrated upon be-
ing set free. He spoke from his ex-
perience of Southern people, and
assured his friends that their only
true friends would be found in the
Southern States, and that these
friends would be their former
masters.

Letter from Memphis.
TO COTTON SHIPPERS
MEMPHIS, Nov. End, 1867.

MEMPHIS, Nov. End, 1867.
Editor Fayetteville Observer:
DEAR SIR-We have been ma.
king every effort in our power to
cheaper transportation of Cotton
from our friends in Lincoln, and
to-day are in receipt of a letter
from owners of steamboats, at
Florence, saying they will receive
Cotton at that port and give
through bills of lading to this city
at 81 rs or not over 81 90 per
bale, and will have a boat leaving
every other day, during the season.
There will be no charge for hand
ling or anything else at Florence,
as the steamers will take the Cotton
from the fats. Insurance is one
per cent. from Florence, and if you
have any flat-boats in Elk River
this season, we will protect all
shipments sent US, under our open
policy, and we feel very sure can
make it largely to the interest of
planters to send us their Cotton.
We have more buyers here than
at any other point except two in
the South, and will probably re-
ceiye during the season at this
city very near if not quite three
hundred thousand bales. Freight
from Huntsville has been reduced
to 81 so per bale, and shipments
can be made without paying taxes.
Yellow Fever has almost disap-
peared, and with few more frosts
we hope to have no more of it.
It's presence, however, has not in
any wise affected our market
Middlings to-day 16a@17c.
Yours truly,

Humors Of the Alabama
Election.

The Mobile Tribune, of the Esd,
contains the following: q
We learn the following from
the most reliable source, and as it
shows conclusively how highly the
negroes appreciate the elective
franchise, and how m UGH they un-
derstand its value and Importance,
we publish it: During the re-
cent farce, called an election, for
convention in this State; a number
of negroes came in from the sur
rounding country to Grove Hill,
Clark county, for the purpose of
voting. The Radical sharpers had
supplied them all with tickets,
and told them exactly how to vote.
A waggish individual was sitting
short distance from the window
at which the votes were deposit
ed, and seeing squad of some
twenty niggers passing, he called
| to them and asked them if they
were going to vote. They replied
yes. he then asked them to let
him see their tickets, when sever
al handed out their ballots, on
which were printed the names of
the Radical candidates. They had
been told it seems to vote this
ticket, and they would secure a
mule and forty acres of land
The wag knowing this told them
that each one of the ballots was
good for the above, j. e. "a mule
and forty acres" but inquired of
them what good they thought that
would do them if they were such
fools as to give them to that little
man in the window, as he would
secure them himself. The ne
groes thinking they smelt a rat,
stuffed their ballots into their
pants and left, remarking that no
''sich looking white man as dat
are fellow was a going TO get DER
certifkits," started for home, fully
satisfied that they were swindled.
They told their friends about it.,
and the consequence was, that
numbers of them refused to go
near the polls for fear they would
be swindled out of their "certifi-
Gates"
