THE INCOME TAXA despatch to the
Chicago Tribune, dated the 18th, says
"The subject Of abolshing the income
tax came before the House to-day in a
way which was pretty fair indication
that the sentiment of the members is
decidedly against it A vote was taken
to inquire into the cxpedicncy of abol.
ishing this tax Even IN this form the
House refused to second the demand for
the previous question bya vote of ayes

and Means Committee are understood to
be opposed to action in the matter at
this session, and in this they are sustain

The poor people Of the country will no
doubt rejoice that there is likelihood
that their representatives. will withstand
the influence of wealth, and retain this
most just Of adj taxes.

DOWN SOUTH.

the Sfa Goia
A friend who has Just returned from few
weeks pleasure tour through Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, and Alabama, tells me that while at
Selma he spent several hours with Forrest, of
Fort Pillow notoriety. The latter declared
that he was the worst maligned man living.
He said some of the negroes at Fort Pillow
were probably massacred, but it was not in
accordance either with his order or wishes
A great many Confederates believed at that
time that there ought to be some such mas
sacre, in order to fire the Southern heart
afresh. Such, however, were not his views.
General Forrest further remarked that he
was President of railroad, and doing WELL
He was satisfied with the turn affairs were
taking, believing that the white race would in
time recover their proper relations with the
blacks.
While at Selma my friend attended service
one Sunday morning. The preacher soundly
berated some of the congregation for not
having voted, or for having voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, at the recent Alabama election.
He assured them that unless they (the blacks)
stuck close to their friends, the Republicans,
the Democrats would get into power again
and restore them all to a condition of slavery,
At this a perfect howl went up from both the
brethren and sisters. Further along in his
discourse the preacher, in describing how sim
ners would go to hell, said-''You will rush
headlong down the precipice, as l saw driver
being run away with by two mules, the other
day, and they were the - looking mules you
ever saw"
Before the war Atlanta had but five or six
thousand people. Now the population borders
close on thirty thousand. The Jew element
has been steadily increasing. My friend
thinks many of the Jews are attracted thither
by the opportunities offered for imposing
upon the blacks. A few days before his ar
rival there the acquaintance he visited was
called upon by negro for information. The
negro could not read, and wanted him to see
if receipt bill, given him by Jew merchant,
was right. After paying it, he, the negro,
thought it did not leave him as much money
as he ought to have. On looking at the bill
the Atlanta gentleman discovered that the
jew had added in the account the figures of
the year, viz, 1870, which were at the head
of the bill. He Immediately accompanied
the negro to the store, when the Jew owner
expressed himself as Every sorry at making
the mistake, paid back the $3.50, and gave
him a new bill
Both the whites and blacks particularly the
latter, are given to turning everything into
gold, and boarding it away. Consequently
brokers who have located themselves at
Selma Aberdeen, Macon, Atlanta, and other
points, make good thing of supplying them.
Not unfrequently they charge the negro
five, ten, and even fifteen cents more for
gold than the market price. And then when
ever the whites or blacks have any gold to
sell they will not allow them for it within
several cents of the market valus.-N. Y
