THE COTTON TAX.

Late dispatches from Washington say
that the Committee on Ways and Means
have under consideration the bin intro
duced in Congress by Mr., Mckee, OF
Mississippi, to refund the cotton tax, as
published in the APPEAL of the eleventh
instant. The people Of the South feel a
great interest in the restoration Of money
which was, as they think, unjustly taken
from them. It is hoped that the COM
mittee win report favorably on the bill,
and that Congress win act promptly in
passing it. II would De esteemed by the
South an act not only of justice, but
generosity by the party in whose hands
the power lies; and would perhaps do
more TO allay any lurking feelings of
animosity than any other act they could
do. Nothing is more noble, and gives
more satisfaction in the human breast,
than to acknowledge and repair a wrong
which has been committed. If the
committee report favorably on the bill,
as is hoped, Southern members should
shake hands with them, and accept it
in the shape they offer it, and have no
divisions as TO how the restoration
should be made. All that is fully pro-
vided for in the bill, and the committee
viii doubtless fully investigate all that
matter. A division in our own ranks
would no doubt eRdanger the fate Of
the bill. A generous offering should be
received in the same spirit in which it
is rendered, and the bill promptly passed.
Members from the South could then
c0me home after the adjournment and
receive the congratulations of their con-
stiuents, of "Well done, good and faith
