INITIATION AND TAXATION.

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Times argues that the
action of the House of Representatives
on Mr.. Kelley's resolution means in
fation. He says, under date of Dec.
II:
Judge Kelley's convertible bond pro-
position, offered In the House before
the holiday recess, came up to-day as
unfinished business; and on motion to
suspend the rules and pass it the vote
stood 155 ayes to 80 nays, indicating
that the House is largely in favor of
imitation"
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, however, claims
that the subsequent action of the House
almost wholly neutralized what was
claimed for the adoption of the Kelley
resolution. Under date of Dec. Il, he
says:
"The House to-day took three most
significant votes on the imitation (Kel.
ly's) proposition, which provides, as an
alternative to taxation, that money, if
needed, shall be raised by low rate
bond. The vote stood lis to 81 op-
posed. Forty of the negatives were
from New York and New England. OF
those voting in the affirmative, how
ever, large number voted chiefly on
account of the anti-taxation clause.
Following this came a vote which al
most wholly neutraized what Kelly
claimed as the vote for his low lond by
passing Holman's resolution by 221 to
3, declaring that taxation was not
necessary, if proper retrenchment was
adopted. Then, as a climax to these
steps, the House passed, without even
the formality of division, Gen. Haw-
ley's resolution declaring as the sense
of the House that there should be no
addition to the issue of the non-interest
bearing debt, and the terms Of the reso-
luton were held to cover the issuing of
| the forty-four million reserves"

The jute plant is said to be death to
the cotton worm On this point we
have the experience of Mr.. Emile lie.
franc, who assures us that neither flies
not butterflies ever stop in the jute
plant. 1t appears the plant gives an
odor which drives them away, and the
consequence is, that no caterpillar viii
appear on the plantation where jute
has grown. Desiring to verify this
important and valuable discovery, the
'.Ramie Planting Association" last
season planted three several different
fields of cotton, and surrounded them
with a iute growth belt. No leaf,
no flower, no boil was destroyed. The
fields were entirely free from the cater
pillar, while other cotton fields on ad-
jacent plantations were invaded by the
voracious insects. This statement has
been verified by many gentlemen of
New Orleans.

THE SALARY SETTLEMENT.

1t is not exactly a settlement, but
rather a shelving of the subject, to
clear the Congressional table for other
pressing topics. For various reasons,
the people are not likely to rest con-
tent with the repeal bill which has gone
to the President for signature. The
popular demand viii require a retouch-
ing of the subject before the close OF
the session for one reason, if no other
because the repeal restores the obso-
lete absurdity of mileage. The bill as
finally passed takes effect only from Its
passage, leaving the present Congress
to draw eleven months pay at $500
per annum, without mileage. Thiswas
a point over which the present Con-
gress had absolute and unquestionable
control. 1t viii be difficult to convince
the people that there was any reason
for preferring $500 without mileage,
to $1,000 with mileage, ex-
cept that the former pans out a
larger sum to each member voting
this so-called repeal; while at the same
time pocketing the grab up to date. As
to back pay, the bill places honest men
who wouldn't touch it with the towards
who were afraid to touch it and the
sneaks who took it and then took it
back. All these classes fare alike in
losing the back pay. But those fell
lows who put it in their pockets
are permitted to retain it. The
increased salaries of the President
and the Supreme Judges remain IN
changed. Not only Grant, but his sue
cessors are to receive $4,000 besides
perduisites. Such is the retrenchment
and reform of the Radical majority IN
Congress at an epoch when the
country is suffering from the
effects of a terrible panic, and
the Federal Treasury is insolvent, Rich
ardson actually increasing the debt
over a million a day to meet the current
expenses of the government. The out
standing greenbacks on the 10th were
1881, 100000, and had risen to $685.
600, 900 on the 18th when the House
concurred in this bill Even the effort
to make the President even, by re-
ducing his White House perquisites of
ST., 900 to the sum Of S52,000-sufi-
cient in all reason-was first voted up,
only to be afterwards voted down.
Thus Grant, who was the originator
and engineer and final sponsor for the
grab, escapes with his bOotyuntouched.
This question is not settled, so far as
the people are concerned, as Congress
and the Radical party will learn to
their cost.

WE believe it was Artemus Ward
who announced the dictum that a man
ought to pay his debts even if he had
to borrow the money to do it. Akin to
This is Senator Frelinghuysen's bill to
increase the national debt two hundred
and twenty-five millions by issuing
bonds for the purchase Of two hundred
millions Of gold with which to resume
specie payments. The proposition is
absurd. No speciepaying bank IN this
country ever thought 1t necessary to
hold in It's vaults fifty per cent of gold
for redemption purposes. And govern
ment would have an immense advant-
age over any bank in managing this
matter. A government whichls to-day
floating over four hundred millions of
debt without paying interest, and
which might be floating eight hundred
millions in the same way-a govern
ment which could ut any moment make
s-reenbacks equal 10 gold by merely
calling in the national bank notes
certainly need not go in debt to resume

the growth and prosperity of manufac-
tories at Columbus, Georgia, which it
calls Southern Lowell. The cotton
mills at that place are especially doing
prosperous business. We see itstated
that a company Of British capitalists
has recently invested 100000 in the
water-power at Augusta, Georgia, for
the purpose Of manufacturing cotton.
\ nice cotton mill is on the property,
and it has been proved that cotton can
be spun there cheaper than in Old or
