The Cotton Tax to be RepeaIed.

1t will be good news to our readers to
hear that an effort is now being made by
an association of wealthy and Influential
gentlemen, both North and South, to test
the constitutionality ofthe law taxing cot
ton. Mr.. J. B. STACY, of this place, is
acting as agent of this association here,
and invites all persons who have heretofore
paid taxes Of this kind, to call upon him
with their receipts and vouchers and he
will give them valuable information. The
association only asks that you place your
vouchers in their hands with the right to
control them-ouly requiring you to allow
them one-half of what they recover in the
event that they succeed in having the law
set aside by the Supreme Court of the
United States. If they fail you lose moth
ing. If they succeed you recover ono-half
of the taxes already paid, and stop all taxes
upon cotton in the future.

REACTION
The Northern Press IN the California
Election.
lFrom Tho Now York Herald


The fact that the Republican party in
California was rent assunder by internal
discussions, and that the opposition vote
has been materially increased, will mate
rally influence the result Of the elections
in New Y ork and Pennsylvania, and proba-
bly, In Ohio In the latter State the Dem
ocrats have committed serious plumbers,
and viii be damaged by their own folly.
But in Pennsylvania and this State we
shall not be surprised to see a general re-
action, and the entire overthrow Of the par

ment by a coalition OF the Puritan and the

We shave an overwhelming Democratic
success in California, where for years the
Radicals have been as omnipotent almost
as in Massach usetts. 1t was not the Radi-
cal division on Governor that gave US the
State, for we have elected other State Off
GERS, upon which both factions in their
party were united, and have also carried
the Legislature, which will give us a Uni
ted States Senator. Does any one suppose
that. it is a local cause that reduces at the
same time the Republican majorities in
New Hampshire and redeems States as
widely separated as California and Connec-
ticut from Radical rule ? The same local
cause, lift exists, will operate in Ohio
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and
in fact in all tire States where elections are
to be held this year. The pulse of the
people Of the United States has been felt
by these elections. 1t is beating strong
ly under the inspiration of Democratic
strength.

The Signal Effect of the Proclamation of
Amnesty,

From the National Intclligcncor, 18th.
During the deliberations Of the Cabinet
yesterday, it is understood that it became
evident that in the opinion of every mem
Der present, the legal effect of the contem-
plated amnesty proclamation would be to
relieve all persons included within its terms
from all disqualifcations. as well as all
penalties incurred by their completely in
the late rebellion, and, of course, $50 far
as the action of the General Government is
concerned, from disability as to the ex-
ercise of the right of suffrage. We maY
therefore, congratulate the country upon
the prospect of speedy settlement of all
our difficulties upon principles conforma-
BILE to the Constitution, and harmony with
our republican form Of government. That
such will be its effect no sound lawyer en-
pertains a doubt. nor is it to be presumed
that it will be seriously denied by any con
siderable number of respectable men of the
Radical party in or out of Congress.

apologize for. for they deserved all that 1
said to them and much more besides.
I. further states that I said, mo Radi

ty. as they would be popped at from every

deep in blood" This is an unmitigatd
and malicious lie. l said no such thing,
and the writer is liar and coward
And it further says, 'fthere are organized
in this county several companies whose
object is to murder the Union men as soon
as the handful of State Guards that are
stationed here are withdrawn" How did
the writer get this information Where
did he get it and from whom Who COM
pose these companies Where do they
meet and where are their arms How
glaringly and openly false this is upon its
face. I have never head of such organiza-
tons, nor has any other man. except from
those who fabricate such reports for their
own selfish and bloody purposes. Zone
of the companies met here last Saturday
night with the aYowed object of attacking
the Union League Great God what a
lie Who met and where did they meet
and why did they not attack ? Let these
dastardly informers and remorseless liars,
be more specific if they would give even
shadow of truth to what they say

nicatOn, and why did it not give the names
of the sixteen we'll known Union men who

their names, and then we can ask Of them
where they get this startling information of
"organized companies" and their ''avowed
