NASHVILLE, Feb. 2, 1S70.-I certify that have
used various stomach and tonic bitters, but none
have given SO sure and speedy relief as 'COtton's
Southern Star Stomach Bitters." As tonic and
gentle purgstive nothing ever gave me so much
relief in so short time. The bitters cured me Of
q very violent cold in twenty.four hours.

Steamboat Disaster.

The Steamboat Maggie Hays, exploded
one of her boilers and was destroyed by
fire on the 10th inst. The captain and
several of the crew were killed, but none
of the passengers. The following is the
most lucid account of the accident that
has come under our notice, taken from
q Memphis dispatch of the It'll:
The Commercial has just arrived with
the survivors of the ill>fated Maggie
Hays, about twenty in number. Captain
Martain was not killed outright, but se>
verely injured, and died on board the
Commercial His body was left at Hell
ena. Captain bravo, First Clerk, will
convey it home The following deck
hands, all colored, were lost James Mar
dins, New Orleans; Tom Wilson, David
Skinner, Bellair: John Haynes Pitts,
burgh.
The passengers lost everything, but
funds were raised BY the passengers on
the Commercial to relieve their immedi,
ate wants. The pilots, Eugene Hamln
and Samuel II. Jones, were both in the
pilot house at the time. They saw the
smoke and steam rush, and felt the boat
treulble. As soon as the emoke cleared
away they saw that the forward part of
the beat was gone, and steered her for
shore, Jones getting on the wheel, jump
ed ashore Hamlin cut the chimney
guys made line, threw it out, and soon
had her made fast But despite the eff
forts Of the surviving crew, the fire had
gotten under Roadway, and soon wrapt
the entire boat in flames
Mr.. Darr of Pittsburg, was sitting in
the clerks Office, and was thrown through
the bulkhead into the cabin, and not
hurt.
The pilots say the boilers were patch-
ed at Natchez and Vicksburg, and at
Mouth Chute they had tied up again to
patch the larboard boiler, and had but
just got fully under way when the ex-
ploson occurred

1t signally failed Since this law was
passsd a bill has been introduced at
every session of the legislature, we be-
lieye to repeal it, and these bills have
always come from the democratic side OF
the house, and received all their sup
port therefrom This anxiety for the re-
peal Of law that is calculated to pro-
'ect the purity of the ballot-box may ap.
pear singular to those who have not
watched the workings Of the political
machine at election time. This law has
prevented illegal voting; of this there is
no doubt, and the attempts to poll Illegal
votes have been principally made by the
democratic party, hence the anxiety OF
that party to have the impediment out Of
The way. We think that one of the most
important duties of every good citizen is
TO use all his influence to preserve the
purity Of the balot-box, and no one who

Mr.. voorhees, en- tho Income Tax,

From the Globe We copy the following
remarks Of Hon. D. W. Voorhees,, Of In
diana, on the income tax :. ssa
Irepresent a large agricultural district,
populous and in good circumstances. I
think, however, should be faithless to
their wishes on this subject. il voted
here to relieve that class Of people who
are best able to pay tax upon theb In
comes. The tax falls ON that class Of
people, who, by the very terms Of u, have
an income to be assessed. The gentle
man from New York (Mr. Wood) says
tina. this tax is inquisiterial. The tariff
on the articles which enter iHto the or
binary consumption Of a household Is
stiil more inquisitorial in its character
than this tax There is nothing that
goes upon mans person, nothing that
he lives upon, nothing that clothes his
family, but is visited with the inQuisitton
of taxation. sz sktss.s,ss !.
According to my view 81 die situation
Of affairs, taxation is quite unequal
enough now, and should not be made
more unequal by relieving the wealthisr
and better able classes Of the payment OF
this tax. Instead OF this being an IN
popular tax, / would say to this House
that the most unpopular act itcould COIN
NIT would be, in my judgment, TO repeal
the income tax. On whom does this tax
fall? On bondholders, although net
half SO heavily as l would make II fau
on them II had the power. On bank
ers, though not to the extent 1t ought.
On the wealthy manufacturers and mef-
chants, and on aggregated capital ID Whist
ever hands it may be found. Instead Of
this being too inquisiterial tax, would
make it more SO il had the power for
under the law rs it now is men evade
their taxes. 1t Is 4 constant complaint
in the various collection districts that
men, by false returns, by untrue accounts,
evadc paying the proper tax cnstheir In.
comes. And why should not wealthy
men pay this tax7 Is it inquisitorial to
impose a tax upon incomes, which are
better able to pay taxes than anything
else eNg ~ sal3sissl4sy sss "a
This is a complaint which I can not
comprehend, especially when the tax
gatherer goes into every household and
lays his hungry hand on the person Of
every laborer, every farmer, every me-
chahic, and every member Of . mans
family, visiting them NTH an inqpisition
which has no limit OF restraint, in order
to raise the revenue under our system Of
tariff tsxatisn. And il ! had the power
instead of removing the system OF inqui-
sition which executes the income tax, ]
would make it still moro binding. J
would make those who execute the Law
fulfill their obligations moro carefully
and more fully than they do now. f,.s
