A Female Revolt.

The Spanish people are 50 accustomed
to revolution that even the women learn
the trick Of it. A couple Of weeks ago
a manufacturer of cigarettes in Madrid
wanted to put up newly-invented ma
chine Tor their manufacture, and dis
charged most of the women in his en-
ploy, where fair hands had hitherto
wrapped up the delicate morsels; where
upon the women collected together,
swore an oath, issued PrOntNaeiameatO,
and inaugurated rebellion. The May
or of the city was compelled to call out
the guard and shut up the mandatory
in order to suppress the revolt. Pend
ing the restoration of order, the price Of
cigarettes advanced Considerably.

Refundfne the Cotton Tax.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Friends
of the measure for Pefunding the cotton
tax are moving in order to secure its con-
sideration at the present session of Con-
gress. There is now, as there was at the
last session, a strong conviction that this
money was wrongfully and unconstitu-
tionally extorted from the cotton States
at time when their PROSTATE condition
dictated wholly different course.
The great difficulty in the way of Sc
curing payments in the last Congress
was the strength of the sectional preju-
dice still existing against those States for
seeding from the Union; but this feeling
would probably not have proved sufficient
to defeat the claim, If the friends of the
refunding measure had been able to agree
among themselves about the payments of
the money. The associations of cotton
factors who had spent their time and
money in pushing The claim in the courts
at Washington, insisted that the money
should be paid to the parties actually
holding the receipts for the tax paid.
Some of the planters were willing to let
the matter take this course but others
urged that they had really paid the tax.
as the factors had deducted Its amount on
paying them for their crops. AT this
time several schemes are pending. One
offered by Cooke, of Georgia, proposes to
give the money TO the States in which
It was collected, which would probably
be a very good solution of the question to
the negroized Legislatures of Mississippi,
South Carolina or Louisiana. Another
bill. offered the other day by Mr.. Mckee,
corresponds with the old bin Of last ses-
sion, which proposed to pay the persons
holding the receipts for taxes paid

MINORITY REPORT.

Mr.. PRESIDENT: The undersigned N en-
Der of the COMMITTEE on County and County
Boundaries dissent from the majority re-
port, and beg leave to present this minority
report in regard to Senate bill No. "a, an
Act to divide Choctaw county and create
new county by taking territory from three
adjoining counties-Montgomery Oktib-
beha and Winston, and most respectfully
ask the Senate not to pass this bill, for the
following reasons:
That it will create an additional and bur-
densome tax upon the people of Chpctaw,
who have already county debt of $4,000
20 $4,000. and besides this, the people of
this county and the inhabitants brought in
from the adjoining couties to form the
county OF Douglass and the Inhabitants that
are to be Incorporated into Choctaw from
Winston will have an additional tax from
forty to sixty thousand dollars to build two
new COurthouses and JaiIs, new bridges,
cut roads, etc, etc, and in addition TO all
this, the Representatives from the counties
from which the territory of the two coun-
ties are to be formed are opposed to it.
The question of division was made an is
sue in the canvass at the last election and
the Representatives from Choctaw, Win
stOn and Montgomery were instructed
against divisions. AS in Winston county it
would necessitate the removal of the Court
house and other public buildings and de-
stroy the county town.
In the county of Winston, almost the en-
tire population, white and colOred are OPP
posed to dividing the county. Moreover,
the counties as at present laid out, are in
compact and cOnvient shape, and as pro-
posed by this bill to be laid OFF, will leave
each of the counties cut in a zig-ZaS and re-
markab.y ugly and inconvenient shape. For
the above reasons, we most respectfully pro-
test against its passage,
Respectfully,
