THE Iowa FARMERS MOVE

Iowa is assuming formidable pro-

no less than 1900 oranges in the

minor organizations is fast increas-

there will be scarcely 10000 farmers
in Iowa who do not belong to the

81 may be wrong in myjudgment
or too sanguine in hope, but be-
lieve there are children here to-day
who will live TO see a reconciliation
between the lately warning sections
so complete and generous that the
descendants of Confederate soldiers
will share the governmental bentits
that are extended to those of the
soldiers of the Union; that all un-
friendly legislation will be blotted
from the statute books; that the
terms "Y ankee, ""rebel, !" "traitor,"
will be used in anger no more; that
the swords of Southern officers,
now held as trophies in Washington,
will be restored to their owners 10
be used as heir-loOms in their fami-
lies; and that the ensign of the I'm

vance of the hope OF the South, and
the present temper OF the North.
But as the flag of England wears
the national symbols of the native

The announcement by special dis

County bill had passed the Assembly,
by the decisive vote of forty-four to

out, and a salute of one hundred en-
plosions Of these extemporized can

other modes of congratulation were
seen in all quarters of the town.
Everybody seemed pleased with the
result. and satisfied that the right
had at last prevailed. \ band OF mu-
sicians paraded the streets, and dis
coursed sweet harmonies til! q late

Those who took part in the demon

in every way possible their Joy over

the information that Assembly nan

negative vote. There were three

GREAT RAILROAD MEETING IN
PIoCHE.-Pursuant to call, a great
meeting was held at Phoebe on Satur-
day evening last, at which Judge NJ.
Fuller presided, assisted by thirty
eight Vice-Presidents. Resolutions
were passed in favor of a railroad
connecting Phoebe and Eureka with
the Central Pacific Railroad at Pali-
SADIE, and also in favor of a subscrip-
ton by the County of Lincoln to the
stock of such road to the amount OF
S350,0O0, in bonds, bearing interest at
the rate Of seven per cent. per an
mum, payable within twenty years.
Senators and Assemblymen were re-
quested to secure the passage of a law
requiring the County Commissioners
to subscribe for stock to the above
amount. The meeting was very en-
thusiastic, and adjourned with three
hearty cheers for a railroad.

A Railroad Bill in Congress.

Mr.. Shellabarger, of Ohio, has in
troduced a bill in the House of Rep
resen,at:ves, intended as legislation
against the discriminating charges i'm
fares and freights on railroads. The
Commissioner of Agriculture, in his
monthly report for January, thus
briefly gives his views of the effect OF
these discriminating railroad rates on
agriculture
The burden of railroad freights is a
heavy tax upon agriculture which is
sorely felt at present from two causes :
the increase in production. which re-
duces prices. and the advance OF
freight rates by railroads. which tends
to depress prices still further. The
evil is becoming uncomfortable, and
should be remedied by the speediest
and wisest method practicable.
The bill of Mr.. Shellabarger pro-
vides as follows:
Be it Resolupd, ETC., That the COM
pensation authorized and content
plated by the second section of the
Act OF the 18th of June, Ammo Domi-
nj, 1866, entitled An Act to facilitate
commercial. postal, and military
communication among the several
States" for the several descriptions of
service named in said section, shall
be charged at uniform rates per
mile for the transportation of the
same amount and description of pas
sengerS /; and way-passengers and
freight shall not be subjected to
higher rates of charge per III lie than
the lowest rates charged by the same
line, for the anne services, over any
other part of the said line and any
person or persons who shall be sub
jected to, or demanded To pay, any
excessive charge. in violation of the
provisions of this Act, may recover,
from the party making the charge,
such excess so either demanded or
paid. together with costs and reasona-
BILE counsel fees, in any court of com
petent jurisdiction !; prOcided, that the
provisions of this Act shall not pro-
hibit any common carrier, coming
within its provisions, from receiving
Just compensation for the necessary
expenses of lading and unlading
way-freights And prOuided, moreOrei',
that the provisions of this Act shall
apply 10 all common carriers i'm ear
Tying passengers or freight on their
way from one State to or through an
other State.
Should the Senate judiciary Com
mittee decide that Congress may
eonstitutionally regulate the fares
and freights on railroads extending
through two or more States, this bill,
or one similar to it, will undoubtedl :
be enacted.

The County Audltor,s Defence.

-. =
Mi. McDevitt makes hissdefence, this
week, against the charge Of being the
cause of no Jury lists being drawn at the
appointed time-and consequently the
cause of Edgefield County probably hav-
ing. no Court of Common Pleas and Cen
eral Sessions for year to come. The
charge is grave one. And the error,
wherever it lies, amounts to an uncon-
scionable and presumptuous crime. The
bold andabsorute delaying of the Courts
of Law in whole County, by one man,
or two men, or three men, is something
which we are bound to characterize as
idle, arrogant, unpatriotic and mischiev-
Gus. i.
Mr.. McDevitt throws the blame on
Mr.. Barker, Jury Commissioner OF Edge
field County. In private, Mr.. Barker
says the fault is not his. Let us hear his
public statement.
Men who live by the public, ought to
serve the public-at least with show
of conscience and decency.

JOIN HUIrr, Esq, Edgetield, S. c.:
Deqi. Sir.-Touss OF this day is receiv
ed. In reply, would say: Our Tax Or
dinance for 1872 imposes u tax of / of one
per cent; on all sales Of cotton; but none
has ever been collected from producers
selling their own cotton, or from mer-
chants selling free of commissions.
Our city does not propose to charge
any one for the privilege OF trading with
It's merchants. 1, costs the city from six
ty thousand to seventy thousand dollars
per annum for its Police and Fire De-
partments. to protect all property within
the city limits, from robberies and fires
and it has been deemed but just that the
property protected should bear it's sha<e
of the expense, regardless of what par
ticular class it might belong.
But owing to The probable, and I might
say the certainty of the passage by our
Legislature, now in session, of law pro-
hibiting any tax on Sales of agricultural
products, our City Council will, before
the first day of April, adopt new sched-
ule of taxation. and leave sales Of mer-
chandze and agricultural products out.
Enclosed hand you u list That embra-
ces, with the exception of Licenses, NIL
the items from which we expect to col
lect taxes this year.

For the Advertiser

MIR. EDITOR II notice in the publish
ed account of the proceedings in the
House of the Georgia Legislature, Of the
10Th Jan. last, that the bills introduced
into that body, and the substitute by the
Committee on Agriculture, all prohibit
ing municipal corporations from taxing
cotton, and other agricultural products,
being the special order-were taken up
and discussed.
Mr. Jones, of Burke, said the third
section of the substitute was not to pro-
hibit cities from imposing tax on the
gross incomes of merchants, but 10 pre-
vent merchants from ..Icluding such tax
on their bills of costs in settling with the
producers.
Mr.. Calhoun maintained that no city
III the State levied taxes on the sales of
agricultural products. If it was the GUS
tom OF merchants to include such taxes
in their bill of costs, it was wholly un-
authorized.
The substitute Of the Committee on
Agriculture was then passed by yeas 100,

Mayor of the city of AUGUSTA:
SIR: There Is custom among some.
if not all, of the Commission Merchants
of Augusta, to make the farmer pay tax
es on all cotton consigned to them for
sale, and sold by them.
The question is, whether it is Il tax inn
posed by the City authorities on all cot
ton sold in Augusta, or whether it is i'm
posed by the Commission Merchants, to
pay their tax on commissions? The for
lner is what I have been told has been
upheld by some, mot having heard from
alb.
If either by the city, or by the COM
mission merchant, why should there be
difference in the taxes? have before
me two bills of the sale of one bale OF
cotton each, by two different Houses ;
the one, on the 18th inst, gross amount
$SO.3O,-taxes 20 cts. the other, on the
10Th inst, gross amount SS0.S5,-taxes
80 cts.
Ifit is ajax by the city on all cotton, who
pays the taxes when the farmer sells his
own cotton, or when sold, as it often is,
by merchants, free of commission, SO as
to secure trade?
The farmer wishes to know tfor it has
given dissatisfaction whether the city
taxes persons who trade there, for the
privilege: If so we desire to know it.
If the Commission Merchant imposes
this tax it is considerable bonus to him
to have other men pay his taxes-and
even the average of 25 cts. per bale
amounts to a pretty round sum, paid
either to him, to shield him from taxes,
or to the city for The privilege of being
allowed to- sell cattohthere. >.
have retained copy of this letter,
and may, by your consent, publish it and
your answer. Respectfully, yours,
JOHN HUIET.
