REMOVAL or TIE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
One Of tho editors Of tho Washington
Star, lately travelling in tho West, writes
from st. Louis asfolIows:
''Pcople out here have'a settled convic.
ton that tho seat Of government will bc re.
moved here or hore.abouts within tho next
twenty years. They say that they will have
It, not to give Importance to any particular
city or locality, but MS an emblem that the
scat Of empire is in the Mississippi Valley.
Tho capital, they hold, will come to them
naturally and inevitably in the course Of II
few years. The East is not growing the
West is gaining power in Congress yearly,
through the formation Of new States and
new Congressional districts. When all
these vast praries Of the richest land are
filed up with the population they are capa.
bic Of supporting, the wealth and popula.
iion Of the country will be so prcpondcrant
here that the seat Of government will neces
sarily gravitate to the point where it will be
in harmon with and on exponent of the
national heart. This is the Western idca
and it is worth our while in Washington to
prepare TO meet it by making our city SO
coy and agreeable as place Of residence
and resort that members will be unwilling to
leave i. to seek quarters Of doubtful health
fdness on the banks of the muddy Missis-
sppi. Washington, with her cquable eli,
mate and favorable situation, has frst.class
advantages for the permanent seat Of gov.
crninent. The work now to be done is to
bring the city up to the mark of equality
with its advantages of position. But the
subject is too prolific to DO dealt with bere. I"

Congress has been wiped out, So that if Gen

SUMMARY.
THE COTTON TAX.

A correspondent in Williamson counN
ty writes under date of the Sd inst, as
follows
ave have seen il stated in the papers
that the tax of two and half cents a
pound on cotton bias been repealed, and
we, in common with nearly everybody else
we have talked to upon the subject, have
accepted the statement as true. But we
were told yesterday by a prominent cotton
merchant of Nashville, that il is a mis-
take that the tax has not yet been taken
of. How is it? If the tax has not yet
been removed the people should know it,
and they should know il, too, before it is
too late for the knowledge to benefit them.
We know many farmers who are making
preparations to plant largely under the
impression that there is no tax on it, who
would touch the staple Uay lightly if they
still have to pay two and a half cents q
pound for the privilege of raising is
Please tell how it is, and oblige all con
cerned."
The tax has been repealed on all cot
ton grown after the lst Of January, 1868
but on all cotton grown previous to tina
date the tax of . cents has to be paid
Those who plant cotton this year vii
not be taxed for the privilege of raising
i" The bill repeating the tax as stated
was finally agreed to by the Senate OF
the Both of January and by the House
on the 3lst, and it was promptly signed
by the President
