alton Of the act for one year from April,
1863, to April, 1869. This is better than
nothing for the depressed cotton growing
interests but the tax is an iniquitous one,
and the House bill ought to have been
passed by the Senate. Tt would be just as
reasonable, says the New York Herald, to
tax the wheat and corn grown in the West,
the fruit of New Jersey and New York or
the cabbages of New England. Such tax
on the product of the soil is contrary to the
spirit of the constitution at least, and, we
believe, to the letter, according to the fifth
article of the ninth section of that instru-
ment, which declares " that no tax Or duty
shall be laid on articles exported from any
State" The conduct Of the Senate in this
matter is mean, narrOW- minded and petty
foeging, and shows the necessity Of the
poor Southerners being represented in
Congress in order to check such oppres-
sive and unconstitutional legislation. It is
to be hoped the House will adhere to its
bill abolishing the tax altogether.

Ri9hting a WEOng,

In 1861 Hon. JAMES GUTHRIE, as Presi,
dent of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
rord Company. brought suit in the courts
of Kentucky against General S. 3. BUCK
NER, of the Confederate army, for having
destroyed the bridge of that railroad o7el
Green River. Gen. BUCKNER of course did
not appear to defend the suit, and it went
against him. The Company obtained judg-
ment for some sec, 900, under which Gen.
BUCKNER's fine house in Louisville, as also
his paternal mansion, library, and furni.
ture in EEzabethtown, and large farm in
Hart county, were sold, and bought in by
the Company. A few months ago he sued
for the recovery of this property, on the
ground, first, that he had no part in the
destruction of the bridge and, second, il
he had destroyed it, the act would have
been Unsuitable under the laws of war.
Without waiting for final decision, the
Company have concluded that their case
was not good one, and have made an
amicable settlement with Gen. BUcKNER, to
whom the real estate has been restored.
For the rents and personal property lie is
to be paid in money.

TO the defeat of the reconstruction laws.
He informed some Of his Southern friends,
a few days ago, that no fully expected Il

and the lawyers interested in the case say
that if such decision is rendered he will
withdraw military supervision from that
State by ordering the commanding officers
not to interfere, except at the request Of

Repair the Wastes OF War.

Governor Bullock, of Massachusetts, in
his message to the Legislature, says that it
is high time to repair the waste OF war.
He wants to see ''every spindle (that is the
word for Massachusetts, spindle } set in
motion, every laborer supplied with work.
and in order that this may be brought
about, he recommends magnanimity to
the Defeated and hopes to hear no more
of confiscation and attainder for the
Southern Masses" and of "illiberal and
unfriendly legislation" Words fifty spok
en- areithese; and;when the Governor drops
a mild remark in the same connection
about ono word to be retracted, no prin-
ciple compromised" we know that it is
only a sop to the Radical Cerebus.

Immigration.

Tt is with no little degree of satisfaction
that we chronicled the organization of the
immigration Society few days ago, and
gather hope, from the names of the gentle
men conspicuousin the meeting, that some
thing more than formal organization, to
be followed by meaningless resolutions,
will be accomplished. There is no fact
more thoroughly recognized in the South
than that this section can never recover
from its present prostration without labor
and capital from abroad. With this con.
viction no effort is spared to induce immi-
grafton to the Southern States. We were
told that emancipation would double the
value of our lands, yet the very best estates
are being offered for one-half, yes, one.
third of their former value, and still we
hear of but few purchases. Foreign and
Northern laborers have been and still are
wooed in every imaginable way, but few
however, wend their footsteps southwark
Kindly greetings are expressed and ten
dered in yain-all efforts to induce immi
grants to settle in the South thus far hava
met with insignificant success.
The world cannot parallel the induce
ments offered by the South for industrious
settlers. We have a country almost I'm
limited in its resources, blessed with ever,
variety of climate, soil and productions
capable of becoming, under good govern
ment. the prosperous home of many times
its present millions of inhabitants, and
great element in the future of the Ameri
can Union. There must be some cause
which eounteracts these advantages ant

From the New Orleans Crescent, JAN /.
OF Jefferson Davts ut Now NrIcnn..

Last evening there was considerable ey-
element on the levee opposite Jackson
Square, in regard to the expected arrival
OF Hon. Jefferson Davis. At 6 o'clock
there was a gathering of people on the
levee, waiting for the arrival of the Cuba
on which Mr.. Davis was passenger, but
the ship was delayed somewhat beyond the
expected time, and many who were anxious
to greet our distinguished visitor were
driven away by the keen, cold, raw air
which swept over the wharf. Neverthe-
less, some two or three hundred people
waited for the arrival of the ship, and when
Mr. Davis came on shore, greeted him with
hearty and continuous cheers. Mr.. Davis
accompanied by Mrs Davis and another
lady, entered % carriage, and was quickly
driven off TO the st. Charles Hotel. Tho
reception given to him was very cordial
though the extreme inclemcncy of The
weather made it much less enthusiastic
than would have been the case under other
circumstances.

The Latest Order Of General Hancock.

Whether Congress like General Hancock
or not, we think it more than probable that
his purpose to uphold the civil authority,
and, as far as possible, to make the mill,
tary power subordinate to the courts, will
commend itself to the American people,
His order of the 1st instant, which wepub-
ished yesterday, may or may not please

presses with clearness and good temper
the American idea as to the proper reIa-
tons of the soldier and the courts.

We understand that as this gentleman
was passing Knoxville on the cars few
days ago, two police officers came into the
car to serve on him warrant of arrest for
treason. AS they had the name wrong, ne
denied that he was the man called for, and
while they went out to correct it tho train
moved off. We had supposed that the
General had proved his loyalty SO fully by
his reconstruction letter that he was in no
danger of annoyance.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL DO IF SUCCESS.
ru4.-Colonel John Forsyth, the talented ed.
itor of the Mobile Register, who is now. at
Washington, writes to bis paper concerning
the policy of the Democrats towards the South,

what are the sentiments of leading Democrats,
as to the action of the party, Shouldn't win the
administration in the November contest, in
reference to Federal policy towardsthe South.
1t was question of the largest practical in.
terest, whether, should the Democracy come
into power, it would leave the whites Of the
South TO struggle as best they could out of
the mire of radical reconstruction, or whether
It would at once lift them out, by the strong
hand of Federal power. Iget but one an.
swer to the inquiry, and that is, the Demo-
oracy will b.. swift to sweep from the statute
book the whole system of African reconstruc-
tioa, as utterly null and void, and of no eff
feet, and at once to recognize the existing
white Constitutions Of the Southern States,

that before Congress adiourns, the Democrats

Statement from the State Central Exec
,utive Committee. : :

We have been requested by the State Gem
tral Committee to state, that inasmuch as
they sre the officers of the late Conven-
ton, they do not regard it as their duty to
call any other Convention. If the dissent
ents desire new Convention, let them call
1t. These gentlemen are citizens of the State,
and have the same rights that all other citi-
zens have. If it is supposed that the late
Convention did not represent the sentiments
OF the people of the State, then let them try
that sentiment, and they will then, we trust,
be satisfied they will then, we trust, unite
cordially with the people, aud not disunite
them by groundless complaints. 1t may be
that these gentlemen are correct, but We are
prepared to abide the issue and the trial. Our
advice now to South Carolina is expressed in
one word, UNTrY4 UNITY! UNITY ~
and not diuision at home among our own peo,
Pile. This is no time to divide, but it is the
time to act harmoniously, for the best interest
of our grand old State, humiliated as she is,
and sitting in her garments of woe, weeping
for her children and asking to be comforted.

The Test OATH AND THE ELECTIoNs.-We
have been frequently asked whether the test,
or as it is commonly called the iron-clad oath,
can legally be applied to the new elections
held for legislative, judicial or Executive
officers.
In our judgment it cannot. Unless held
,under the new Constitution there are no va
cancies. If held under them, then the terms
clone Of those Constitutions apply. These,
in this State, require no such oath. In. fact,
according to our convictions, the Acts of Con-
gress do not require the test oath, OF persons
elected under the State Constitution to Office.
This would be beyond thepower of Congress.
It may prescribe an oath for its own members
not inconsistent with the fundamental law, or
for territorial jurisdictions, but not for Offices
held under the State. # the State 0onstitu'

Mans Wants.

q = : Mans Wants.:
oman wants but little here below
Nor wants thatiittle long,"
So wrote the bard, long, long ago,
But marred the truth in song:
For who, that knows his fellow Inan,
Believes the statement true?
His wants-let him deny who can
Are neither small or few.
Man wants his life, m age of health,
In which to steep his soul
In honor, fame, and glittering wealth,
His fellows to control.
he wants his vainest wish OF word,
To be sceptered power; -
he wants the-truth, for aye ignored,
That life's a feeting hour.
Mans wants are like the boundless main
With wave succeeding wave;
Each fancied want he doth obtain,
Is its successors grave. =, ~
Could this vain world with all It's love,
His ardent hopes supply,
He still would sigh.for something more,
And wanting stih-would die.
But when in man old Adam dies,
And Satan is dethroned, -
When Grace his every want supplies, q
And he of Christ is owned,-
O! then tits true, his wants are few,
Contentment sweet is givon;
he humbly bears lfs's tolls and cares
His only wants. Heaven.

Police Court.

There was one case before this Court
yesterday, which was soon disposed OF.
Frank Smith, charged with using Ian
guage unbecomiDg a gentleman to a
lady, was arraigned on complaint OF
Miss Emma Smith. The parties are in
no way related, as the names wonld
seem to indicate. 1t appears from the
evidence, that Miss Emma, with sew
eral other females, came into the place
where Mr. Smith was employed, and
said something to him that did not al
together please his fancy, and which
was the occasion for the arousal of his
temper. Mr.. Smith then gave vent to
his feelings in such words as would lead
any one to suppose that she was not a
lady, calling her names far from ten
der character. " IS Emma retorted, by
saying that he was thief; but Nr.
Smith, the prisoner, thought she called
him id thief. The Judge settled
the matter by timing the prisoner $40
aud costs.
