TERRY, Miss. Sept. lst, 1870


EDITOR CLARION Yesterday |
was at the gin house Of my neigh
Dor, Jno. B. Statham, where the car.
penters were at work on q huge
piece Of timber making q cap for a
cotton screw. The timber had
been over three feet In diameter.
They had worked 1t down TO two
feet square, and cut lemons two at
each end, say fifteen inches long.
In telling the tree, and In all this
work no sign Of wind shake or de-
cay Ofany sort had been discovered,
10 all appearance II was perfectly
sound and free Of knots or knot
holes To get It Of the right size
and shape, six feet in length had
been sawed of the stump end,
The tree was 9 sweet-gum, remark
ably tall, and to ell appearances free
from blemish. When the wOrkmeu
had got their timber squared and
otherwise finished to their notion,
they began TO cut q hole, ten OF
twelve inches in diameter, exactly
in the centre for the purpose Of In
certing the screw. After cutting
into the heart to or near the centre
Of the stick, they were surprised t
find q hollow which on examina
ton proved 10 be four or six inch,
es wide and say two feet long
From this hollow they lifted {
quantity Of trash which may al
some time have made q squirrels
nest. Be that as 1t may, there wal
mingled with this trash a quantity
Of hickOrY-nut shells. They were
blackened, but perfectly sound
and unmistakable IN their kind
On exposure to the air, they did
not crumble, but seemed TO become
harder.
Now, the question ia how did
these hickory-nut shells get in the
very centre of that great big tree
o. the half dozen persons no one
could tell. One "a man and broth.

mere Revenue swIndIes.

This was once q startling head for
q newspaper article, but II has be-
come too common now 10 excile
remark. And this ~swindling Ia its
most common form ia no longer the
cheating Of the revenue by rauds
among the people, but the defraud-
ing Of the people by official despOt.
ism on the part Of their rulers-the
revenue officials.
The case before US is as gross an in
stance as any we have had 10 record,
and will awaken no little resent.
ment on the part Of the victims.
W. will make it plain in few
words. The old revenue law by
section 10 and its amendments lev
led special tax on the Wholesale
dealers of fifty dollars; and went
on TO say: And il their annual
sales exceed $4,000, for every adj
ditional $1,000 ia excess Of $4,000
they shall pay one dollar; and
the amount ofall sales within the
year beyond $4,000 shall be return.
ed monthly to the assistant asses
sOr, and the tax on sales in excess
of $50 600 shall be assessed by the
assessors, and paid monthly as
other monthly taxes are assessed
and paid"
Here were two distinct taxes, one
special license tax of fly dollars,
10 be paid annually on the Let Of
May ; the other a "tax on s%ales," so
called by law itself, TO be assessed
aud paid monthly.
The new revenue law, recently
passed, enacts that all "the special
taxes imposed by section 79'
shall cease on the let Of May next
and that "the several taxes on the
sales imposed by the revenue laws
now in force. with certain excep'
tons named, shall cease on the lst
of October" The reason for this
distinction was very plain the spe.
cial tax being payable once q year
was allowed TO run the year out
the tax on sales being assessed
monthly could be stopped at pleas.
ure, and it was to be ended on and
after October lst, 1870.
II would seem to an honest read
or Of the act that nothing could be
palmer ; but the Revenue Depart
ment at Washington, intent only
on squeezing out Of the mercantile
community every dollar that can b.
exacted by the most ingenioul
twisting Of the law, have decided
that the tax on sales being provided
for in the same section with the
special tax must be considered o.
part Of 1t, and must be collected NJ
to the 1st Of May
The new law reads (section D
"And be it further enacted, That
on and after the fret day of OctO'
Der, 1870, the several taxes on saleI
imposed by the internal revenue
laws now in force" (saving excep'
tions) "be, and the same are hereby

Tna Newly BiscsVaFsa Colorado
silver aanen-ssGEea1 BuaA aa
spectators ThitasFWnFas
A Grand Island colorado cor
respondent Of the Chicago Tri-
bune writes Of the new mining dis
trict:
The excitement over this new
district is nothing short Of won
derful. People are rushing in here
from the surrounding country by
hundreds, eager to be the first to
secure claims. They come from
Central City, from Black Hawk,
Georgetown, Denver, Evans, Gree
ley, Cheyenne, almost crazy with
excitement over the great pros.
poets offered in this region. One
thousand five hundred would be a
low estimate Of the people already
arrived here, where, one month
ago, a single cabin was the only
evidence of the white man. The
Grand Island district is situated
about twenty miles from Central
City, between the North and South
Boulders, very near the Snowy
Range. 1t is on the same silver
belt that has been found at White
Pine on the north of US, and in
Arizona on the south.
The discoveries Of the Grand
Island district have undoubtedly
found one of the richest silver
mining regions ever known. Old
White Plners says that the ore is
not only more valuable than that
taken out in Nevada, but also that
there is more Of it. While many
claims have been taken up, and
some opened, there still seems to be
plenty for all.
The largest mine yet opened
keeps six teams hauling to Central
City, and any Of them require
from two 10 three. Many who
own interests here have gone to
Chicago to get machinery, and as
soon as it arrive, and can bC
put into operation. the yield
will be largely increased. A
degree Of activity prevails thai
reminds the few 40 boys in oul
camp of their early days, when
fortunes we're taken out in a few
weeks. But it is doubtful il
much will be done, or can b.
done, before Spring. When the
snow begins to fall in any quaint.
ty, the roads must be so blocked
up that it will be next to impossi
bic to make any progress ovel
them. The ores cannot then be
hauled to the work, and machine
ry and supplies cannot be convey.
ed to the mines. All prospecting
