The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1873-02-15

Gen. Bussey, in Il resolution,
recommended the policy on
the part of the people of the
Sonth to waive their right to
reclaim the seventy-tive mil
lions of dollars of cotton tax
unconstitutionally paid, and
to ask from the Congress of
the United States, in lieu of
the same, the expenditure of a
like amount in public works in
the South, in establishing
steamship lines and repairing
the levees.
The chairman ruled that the
resolution involved the recon-
sideration of the former action
of the Chamber.
Mr.. Greenwood said that he
had paid thousands of dollars
of cotton tax. Yet he did not
wish to reclaim the amount
He favored the proposition
made by Gen. Bussey.
The chairman said the
Chamber should not legislate
hastily. Pending the question
. Of the cotton tax, great eX,
penses had been incurred anC
| parties had bought many Of
l the claims. He asked foB {
reconsideration of the resolu
, ton. The question was pu
and carried. The resolution
was then put and unanimously
I adopted.

ed by Congress. 1t has been
proven that Cakes Ames, a
congressman from Massachu

Mobilier scheme from being
interfered with by Congress,
bribed several members of |
that body. Among these are
ColfaX, the present vice presi-
dent, Wilson who will be vice
president on the 4tb Of March,
Alley, Garfield, Brooks, Pat
terson, and Harlan. 1t has
also been proven that Cald-

of South Carolina, bought
their places. Jones, Of Neva-
da, has also VIGOROUSLY
bought the senatorship, hav-
