GENERAL BUTLER ON. THE TOBACCO TAN.
A tobacco manufacturer of this city recently
wrote to General Butler asking his inau-
ence to secure an equalization of the tax on
tobacco, using as an argument the fact that
at present Virginia manufacturers we're not
remunerated, and their closing up throws a
great many colored people out Of employ
ment.
This is the reply of General Butler:
WASHINGTON, D. c., }
F" February 10, 1870.
"Dear Sir,-You will see the difficulty of
throwing away some thirty millions of reve-
nue. rather than have some few people
thrown out of employment. Besides, when
the taxes are honestly assessed everywhere
tobacco will rise in price; so that men in
our manufactures will manufacture it still,
and these men will have employment again.
II am, yours, truly,
,......r.. "BENJAMIE F. BUTLER"

Meeting Of Commissioners.

The delinquent railroads, those that
have not paid their interest due to the
State, have been the subject Of much pub
lie and private comment, as well as legisla-
ton and litigation. There are some eight
or ten of these roads which are heavily In
debted 70 the State, and the earnings OF
which have not enabled them to hquldate.
By an act of the Legislature of July 5, au-
thorizing the sale and transfer of the inter
est of the State in delinquent roads, the
following gentlemen were appointed Com
missioners to investigate the advisablllty OF
such a procedure, and, if they thought 1t
best to supervise the sane: Gov. Senter,
Secretary of State Thomas Butler, Comp
trolIer Ed. r. Pennebaker, Francis b.
Foeg. Judge Archibald Wright, and Judge
Robert j. Mckinney. These getleman, IN
the capacity of Commissioners, are all IN
the city with a view of attending to this
business. The illness of Judge Wright,
who had a severe chill during the forenoon
of last Saturday, prevented them from con-
vening. The Commissioners had an In
formal meeting at the Maxwell House yes
terdav. There were present Gov. Senter,
Judge Wright, Col. Pennebaker, Judge
Mckinney and r. B. Fogg. No definite
action was had in the premises. They
meet again at 0 o'clock this morning, at
the Maxwell House, when, we presume,
they will decide what is best to be done.
Under the provisions of the act, these de-
linquent roads cannot be sold unless they
bring the amount of the State interest II
them. The action of the Commissioner
will belooked for with considerable interest,

The Cotton Season Opening OF
Trade.


The Macon (Ga Telegraph and Mes.
senger of Saturday last has the following in
regard to the lively condition of things in
that city:
Notwithstanding the heavy and steady
rain that fell between daylight and 8
o'clock yesterday morning, wagons, loaded
down to the guards, as boatmen would say,
with cotton, began to pour into the city at
an early hour, from all quarters of the sur
rounding country, and by ten o'clock the
first jam of the new cotton season occurred
on our streets. Third and Cherry streets
were well lined with wagons throughout
the greater part of the day, and, Judging
from the hustle and stir about our whole
sale dry goods and grocery stores, we infer
that the general trade of the city was the
heaviest of the season.
In spite of all the theories and assertions
to the contrary, the country is rapidly ris-
ing in wealth. Contrast any two years and
we apparently fall behind, but take the
period elapsing since the war, aud we find
in it much food for happy reflection, much
to feel thankful for to the Oliver of all good.
No matter how rapidly we make progress,
either in wealth or morality, still there are
those who vehemently insist we are verg-
ing on starvation, that the world is going
to the devil with electric velocity For all
that, our trade is sought for from all guar.
tiers, credit is good, and we have money
enough to pay promptly all our debts.
New York, the cities of the West, the cities
and struggling villages all over the North,
count upon the Cotton Belt as their Col
conda. All their traders and financial
schemes would eventuate in stranded hopes
without our assistance To free ourselves
of this constant tribute is now insisted
upon by the finest minds among us. Gould
we only cut off this drain for the short
space of three years, we would hold the
purse strings of the world.
