There are in my opinion but three or four
manufacturers who make really first class in
strIment. I have for several months had in use
at my house a ~TIazelton'' Square Grand Piano.
Its very hne instrument. and in quality of
tone, equal 70 any have ever seen. regard
the "Hazeltons' as one Of the best, and recon-
mend them to any one wanting No. piano.
D. C. G.G0oLMAN.n
have an arrangement by which can order
these excellent Instruments, direct from the
manufacturers, and viii take pleasure in or
dering for any persons wanting them, and at

CoTroN TAx.-Tlie tax levied o

CoTroN TAx.-The tax levied on
Cotton by the Government at the close
Of the late war, has all along been
deemed by the people of the Southern
States, an unjust and oppressive meas
urp. inaugurated more az a means OF
punishment to the South, but an
warranted by the Constitution, and in
violation of the laws of equity and the
rights Of d large section of u country.
With d view to repair this wrong, as
far as it is practicable to do so, Dir.
White of Alabama has recently intro
duced in Congress a bill providing for
the refunding of this tax, so unwisely
and illegally exacted. Great pains seem
to have been used in perfecting this
bill and to our minds it will fully ac-
complish the end in view. We hope it
will receive the approval of our Ma
tional Legislature, as well as the active
support Of our immediate representa-
tiyes. v
