except for educational purposes, ls prohlb-
tied by the constitution. The freedmen,
then, may fatter themselves that the enor-
nous taxation being heaped upon their en-
ployers will not affect them; and may, in
that way, calm their natural anger at find
ing that not one of the new or old district
Offices is filed by black man. But, in
truth, the freedmen are as much interested
SIS the white men are in the economical ad-
ministration of the resources of the State
and its consequence-light taxation. They
may have no lands to sell and no money to
spend; but they have their labor, and If
the absence of demand for that labor brings
them to the verge of starvation they have
lost all that they had, and, in their degree,
have suffered as much as the white man
whose thousand acres are sold to satisfy q
tax execution.
The negroes who rely on the trade of the
towns for their employment must under
stand that excessive taxation will cause the
store doors to be closed, and will drive
away men of business to less favored dis
trict. Where, then, will be their means of
honestly making living?
The negroes who work as field or planta-
ton hands receive either share Of the crop
or fixed wages. Ifthey receive fixed wages,
their wages will be decreased as the taxes
are increased, and out of their pockets will
come some of the dollars which will sup
port in idleness swarm of worthless ad-
venturers. If they work on shares, they
will also pay their part Of the taxes, be-
cause the whole taxation of the year will be
deducted from the proceeds Of the crop be-
fore any division of profits is made. Where,
then, does the negro derive anything but
loss from this taxing abomination?
The negro who wishes to rent land is also
taxed. There is no capitation tax, no tax
on property; but the owner Of the land
cannot afford to take less rent than will
pay the taxes on the laad and give him some
profit besides. So that the negro in paying
higher rent pays his share Of taxation.
Will not the negro, then, be working every
day in the year to make up for the e1trav-
sgance and ignorance of his brethren in
Columbia
But this is not the worst. The white peo-
pie of the State will have no vigor and en-
ergy while they are threatened with a
crushing weight of taxation. They will
not be willing to trust to deductions from
the proceeds of their produce, to lower
wages, to higher rents, to relieve them of
the load. They will be tempted to give up
business, to allow their farms to be uncul-
tivated. to desist from doing one iota more
than is requisite to barely support them
selves their families. Excessive taxa
ton will kill trade and put an end to farm
ing and planting. 1t will cut off the freed
men from all hope of Unemployment, and leave
them no future but misery and famine.
As long as this State is ruled by ignorant
blacks and rascally whites, there will be
nothing but wanton extravaganza and un-
paralleled taxation. Under such system
the thieving, lying negro may live and
grow fat, but the honest and diligent freed
men will pine and perish.

Tho Effect upon the Negro.

The total taxation, State and local, of the
District Of Georgetown for the coming year,
will be at least forty thousand dollars,
against thirteen thousand dollars last year;
the difference being the result of the legis-
lation of our motley General Assembly.
This forty thousand dollars is equal to a
tax of eighty dollars upon each white male
adult in the district. If there are any de-
faulters, as there will be, the taxes for the
second year must be heavier still, to make
up the previous deficiency. We have as
sumed that the tax must be paid in the first
instance by the white citizens of the dis
trict, if paid at all, because the negroes
have no property and because a poll tax,

could not enter the ballroom without being
surrounded by groups Of gentlemen and ladies'
who were anxious to make his acquaintance.
One evening, it 30 happened that tie group
around him was composed exclusively OF old
men, and this Of itself attracted all eyes to-
ward him. Just then, sllver-halred ola
gentleman, much more aged than the rest,
drew near the group, and introducing himself
to General Lee, grasped his hand, and holdire
it fast in his own said, with trembling voice:
General, pardon an old man for telling you
the plain truth. love you better than 1 ever
loved my own father" Overpowered Ly emo
ton, General Lee attempted no reply; but his
suffused. eyes made answer more eloquent
than words. those who witnessed the scene,
say that it was one Of the most eaecting they
ever beheld.
The pretext for the noRe prosequt entered
in the murder indictment against Surratt was
the existence Of difference Of opinion among
Judges and lawyers as to whether constructive
presence could impicate party accused in q
murder as principal. Judge Wyie said he ap-
proved OF the motion made to enter noae
prosequi, for unless there was some newly dis
covered testimony it would be useless to try
the murder Indictment second time. he was
now at liberty to say in regard to the motion
now made, and in reference to the point upon
which the former trial turned, that he was per-
fectly clear. It bad never been held, as he
knew of, in this country or in England, or in
any country, he supposed, governed by law,
that man could be guilty of murder unless he
was present at the ommissioa of the offence
Enter tanning that view, and being ofthe opin-
ion, also, from the evidence adduced at the
former trial, that the prisoner was not present
at the time the crime was committed, he very
readily consented to noHe pros. being enter
ed in this case. That indictment having been
thus disposed of, on motion OF the counsel for
the accused the court adjourned, to enable the
prisoner to withdraw the plea of not guilty
made to the Indictment for conspiracy. and to
plead anew '.sC- ="
