The CoTroN Tax. An Augusta
correspondent of the Cincinnati COM
anercial says:
"a few facts, concerning grand
scheme which has for its object the
recovery of all tax that has been paid
upon cotton, have come to my know
ledge within the last few days, which
no doubt will be of considerable in
terest to the public, from the fact
that there is great principle and an
immense amount of money involved.
Herschel V. Johnson, of this State,
is one of the principal parties con-
cerned, and is i'll company with other
prominent politicians and lawyers.
''One of the infue2tial friends al
luded to by Mr.. johnson, in the cir
aular which he is scattering over the
North. is Charles O'Connor, of New
York, They already have about
5000, 900 of these claims for the re-
funding of taxes paid upon cotton by
parties in this State alone, while
their colleagues in Alabama have up
wards of 10000, 600, and confidently
expect to have $4,000, 900 collected
together by the time Congress con-
venes, when they will present the
matter, with all of its merits, and
offer bonus of 10000, 600 to carry
it through. In the event of success,
they will return 1000. 900 to the tax
payers and retain the other 10, 900, 900
for services rendered. Should this
scheme prove successful, the result
can readily be foreseen, and the en-
tire amount Of revenue which had
been accrued from that source will
have to be refunded. Tho crop of
cotton raised this year is larger, no
doubt, than any yield since 1861, and
that fact, with the increased foreign
production, has so reduced the price
lit only being worth 1910. today

utterly unable to meet their obliga-
tions, and seem to anticipate nothing

TRUTH WE'LL SAID. extract
the following paragraph from an
article in the New York Times. of
the 31st ultimo:
The people, in our Judgment, do
not look with satisfaction on the prac-
tical results of Republican action rs
those results are now developing in
the Southern States. Too much of
justice and of peace has been sacri-
feed to party ambition. The blacks
have got, not only their rights, but
degree of political power which they
are not qualified to exercise, and
which they are likely to use for tho
oppression of the whites, the embroil,
ment of society, and the ruin of the
communities which they are allowed
to rule. The Republican party is
not free from doubt and distrust as
to the tendency of measures for
which it is held responsible. A large
portion OF its members do not regard
with entire complaeency the drift
and probable results of the policy,
which 1T has been made the means
OF imposing upon the country; and
nothing hnt the dread of throwing
she whole work of political recon-
etruction again into confusion, and
hazarding valuable results which have
already been secured, will restrain
them from imposing q salutary check
npon the reckless and selfish temper
from which the Republican patty has
already suffered so much.

INVISIBLE PoIsoNs.-Tte Medic

INVISIBLE POISONS.-The Medicis
and the Borgias fortified their systems
ith powerful antidotes against the subtle
poisons with which they used to destroy
their enemies, and which they feared
might one day be employed against them
selves. There are invisible poisons, al
most as deadly, against which few of us
think Of taking any precautions. These
banes are in the air. When the atmos-
phere is surcharged with them, as it some
times is ut this season, epidemic fevers
ensue. The summer which has just
closed has been most remarkable one.
The amount of rain that has fallen has
been enormous, and the exhalations from
the soil have been, and are, dense and
copious almost beyond example. These
exhalations exercise a pernicious influ-
ence on the vital powers, and predispoae
the system to disease. Everywhere peo-
pie are complaining of unusual debility,
lassitudc and depression. These symp-
toms are generally forerunners of an epi-
demic. Combat them early-before they
lapse into something worse-with

In view of the shortness of the
canvass, an early response is request
ed. Yours, very truly,
HAMILTON HARRIS,
Chairman.
LUTHER CALDWELL, Secretary.
THE REPLY.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Oct. Is, 1867.
MY DEAR HAMILTON Your affec-
tionate letter of the 7th, was duly re-
ceived. and in reply, 1 would say that
I am very we'll, never was better
have you heard from Pennsylvania
and Ohio u? Have you heard from
them, Hamilton, and how is your
health ? Your friends here don't like
it, and say, quite disgustedly, that
this trading off white votes at the
North for niger votes at the South,
"don't pay" Do you regard it as a
profitable investment, Hamilton, and
how much more of the stock do you
want ? 1t is for sale very cheap
among the members of the Union
Republican party i'll this locality.
But In regard to that sixty dollars,
don't you wish you may get it,)
which you SO persuasively expect me
to fork over as one of "the benefi-
ciaries of the Republican Union par
ty." L will own, Hamilton, that I
have derived many and great benefits
from the party last aforesaid. L don't
deny it. For instance, they have
benefcently accumulated for me, in
common with the rest of the people
of the United States, n great national
debt, which, we all admit, is great
national blessing.
They have replaced the base and
cumbrous metallic currency, that
used to weigh man down and I'M
pede locomotion, to say nothing
about wearing holes in his pockets
and disappearing inconveniently in
the Innings of his trousers, by light
and airy currency, that costs but
little to manufacture and nothing to
redeem, and which q man can carry
around with ease in large amounts, if
he can only get it. (Oh, if you could
but get sixty dollars of mine.)
+ They have granted me the glorious
privilege of helping to furnish board
and clothes to my odoriferous bre-
thren of African descent in the
Southern States, which blessed privi-
lege they have wrested from the
hands of their late oppressors. They
have multiplied offices and office
holders, and raised all their salaries
and enriched contractors, and thus
adding to the wealth of each indi-
vidual, have increased the aggregate
Of national treasure. Don't you
see it, Hamilton? I don't.
They have done away with the
slow, solemn and cumbrous forms
and ceremonies OF constitutional and
civil law in the administration of the
Government, and adopted the more
expeditions and jovial ways of mill
tary commission.
They have given the odoriferous,
&C., as aforesaid, chance to vote,
sit on juries, hold Office, and do
everything but work and get an
honest living-that is, in the South
ern States. (They did go back on
him in Ohio.
Now, In view of these and count
less other benefits 1 have received at
their hands, don't you think you
were altogether too modest in asking
for only $50? assure you, Hamil-
ton, if you had asked for twice or
even ten times as much, it would
have been sent just Us cheerfully, and
you would have got it just as soon.
Please give my love to Waldo. and
