together unparalleled undertaking, by
the formation of company in London,
which appears on the register as the
"Channel Tunnel Corporation" The
object of the company, however, is not
to push forward the main work at once,
but rather to test its practicability by
sinking a shaft and running a drift-way

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1872-08-01

Hundreds of Southern men have been
seized and tried before juries packed and
perjured to convict, and sentenced TO
Northern penitentiaries as a punishment
for their political opinions, and to sub
serve the purposes of the Radical party.
An example of this description, which
occurred. in Alabama, is related in the
followsng extract 1t is a foretaste of
what may be looked for In the Southern
States in the event the authors of these
wrongs secure another four years lease of
power, and is warning to every friend
of constitutional liberty to be up and do
ing:
"There was an affecting scene in the Uni
ted States court in Montgomery, Ala, the
other day, when the defendants in the case
of the United States VS.. Young ct al, for al
legged Ku Kluxing, were called up tor SEN
tence. The verdict had been rendered hard
ly fifteen minutes when the court inquired
if the defendants had anything to say why
sentence should not be awarded against
them. The old man, Young, in a calm and
manly manner, free from braggadocio, pro-
tested his innocence of the charge, but as
he referred 10 MS wife ana Jour daughters
dependent on him, now sixty-three years
of age, his voice was broken, and there was
not in the court room a manly heart but
what was wrung with sorrow as the picture
arose before them OF this aged man in a far
off penitentiary, and his now widowed wife
and helpless daughters shelterless and
friendless, driven from their little home
which the $1,000 fine will cause to be sold,
as well as the little scanty pittance which
was all this old man was enabled, after a
life of toll, to save from the wreck of the
war.

The Tobacco Tax.

The new tobacco tax as shown by the
Hartford (Connecticut) Times, is exceeding
" onerOus on the smaller retail dealers.
One section provides that:
s'Retail dealers in leaf tobacco shall each
paw five hundred dollars, and If their annual
sales exceed one thousand dollars, shall each
pay, in addition thereto, fifty cents for eve
ry dollar in excess of one thousand dollars
of their sales"
The law then defines who is a retail deaE
er. 1t says:
Every person shall be regarded as a re-
tail dealer in leaf tobacco, whose business
than an original hogshead, case, or bale, or
who shall sell directly to consumers, or to
persons other than dealers in leaf tobacco,
who have paid special tax as such; or TO
manufacturers OF tobacco and snuff, or ci-
gars, who have paid Especial tax; or 10 per-
sons who purchase in original packages for
export"
And further. so that their shall be no es-
cape SrOm the prying and inquisitiye eyes
OF the officers of internal revenue, the law
enacts that:
''Retail dealers in leaf tobacco shall also
keep q book, and enter therein daily their
purchases and sales, in form and manner
TO be prescribed by the Commissioner OF
opened at all times for the inspection Of any
revenue office"
Thus burdened, the smaller dealers and
manufacturers will find it nearly, ii not en-
tireIy impossible TO live and pay the taxes
imposed. Five hundred dollars original tax
and s'fifty cents on every dollar in excess OF
one thousand dollars of their sales" means
simply closing their shops and throwing
out Of employment thousands OF persons.
