The Hon. B. H. Hill of Georgia say:
| the Democratic Congressman from the
! South will be very conservative, and will
| oppose all claims against the Govern,
| ment on account of the war. That's a
| good programme.-NeW FORK Tribune
We repeat, for the sake of emphasis,
| the language of the Tribune, That's a
| good programme" The Democratic
| Congressman from the South, if they
reflect the will ofthe Southern people,
will ask for none of the principal offices
within the gift of the national party; will
vot eifoI ino! retaliatory measures will advo-
cat. nothing that will look like repudia-
on: aud go against lending the credit If
rhe General Government to the Pacift
Railroad or any other ENTERPRISE spec
ally intended to benefit the South. Hon
est and economical administration of the
Government, retFenchment of all unnec>
essary expenses, will occupy much of the
time and attention of Southern Demo
cratic Congressman; and among the first
things that will claim their attention in
carrying ont this policy, will be the re-
duction Of the Presidents salary from
$4,000 per annum to $2a, 00g. Let re-
trenchment commence at the top, and 90
down. We are gratifed to know that
our own immediate Representative in
Congress, Hon. W. c. Whitthorne, is
sound in all these points. His record in
the last Congress was conservative, and
his vote was always cast against commit
ting his party to extravaganza, or lending
the Government aid to the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad. He was prominently
mentioned for Speaker of the next House
until he told his friends that the South
must not embarrass the National Democ-
racy by putting forward her candidates.

The unwilling of the statue of Stone
wall Jackson, in Richmond, produced
this mastery tribute from the New York
Tribune, to the heroism of the dead SOL
der Of the confederacy:
We have now so far passed out from
under the influence to the passions en-
gendered by the war that we may almost
consider its figures and events with the
impartiality of history. On both sides we
are coming to separate the men of that
stormy time from the events which brought
them forth and set them in so strong a
light, and we are growing into juster
judgments and clearer apprehensions OF
their real character. We of the North
can not only look calmly on while Virgin
ia and the South eulogize the heroes who
grew great to our discontinue, but we can
unite with them in paying the tribute Of
our admiration to the rugged virtues, the
obstinate sincerity, the manly faith, the
courageous self>denial which are perpet-
uated in the monumental bronze unveil-
ed at Richmond yesterday His deeds
and his sacrifices are in a special sense
the heritage of the men with whom and
tor whom he fought, but in a larger sense
his example as man of sincerity, con-
stancy and fidelity to his honest convic-
tons, is the worlds, and will be remem-
bered when the cause he fought for is for,
cotton.

Richmond Wing, Oct. % The guber>
material mansion was thronged last even
ing from to 10 by ladies and gentlemen
who called to pay their respects to the
widow Of the late General Thomas j.
Jackson, now the guest of the Common
wealth. The yard and portico of the man
sion were tastefully decorated with ever
green's, and over the entrance TO the hall
was suspended the flag and coat of arms
of Virginia. Six ushers were in atten-
dance to present the visitors. Mrs. Jack
son is lady of elegant though unassum-
ing manners, and impresses the stranger
with her cordial shake of the hand At
her right stood his excellency, James L.
Kemper, who displayed his usual urbanity
as host of the evening. A touching sight
at the reception was the introduction of
a number of those who fought under the
immortal jackson. Many of the brawny
veterans came dressed in their homespun,
having pinned on the lapel of the coat
little ribbon bearing the significant
words, "The Stonewall Brigade" 1t is
needless to say that these old soldiers re-
ceived a doubly>cordial welcome.

Election Points.
Nashville American

The additional returns received from
the elections in the various States do not
materially alter the result announced
yesterday morning, except in the case Of
New York, which has probably given a
small Democratic majority on the vote
for Treasurer, although the Republicans
have decided majorities in both branches
of the Legislature. Hartranft, Republi-
can, carries Pennsylvania by about fifteen
thousand majority, while in Maryland it
seems to be a very close thing, With the
probabilities favoring the election of Car
roll, regular Democrat. In Mississippi
the Democrats have made clean, sweep,
routing the Ames crowd horse, foot and
Dragons. Wisconsin has Gone Back
on the reform ticket. and elected Luding-
ton, Republican, Governor. Rice. in
Massachusetts, leads CASTOR about five
thousand votes, which shows it to have
been pretty close thing for the Old Bay
State.

The True Rule OF T3Xaooh~-Ano
Farmers Divided Among IneM'
selves.

HAssAN, Mimi, March @, 1875.
Editor Anti -Monopolist.
DEAR SIR: You say in your last paper
that the theory Of all civilized Govern
ments is that taxes should be levied upon
property not persons. The theory IS
right; but why. I should like to ask, has
our Republic never put this theory IN
practice; and why is it that none OF our
Statesmen, even those who talk SO much
of reform never mention the subject.
This .euniust system Of taxation is the
greatest evil that afflicts this nation. This
is the great cause of the poverty and want
of prosperity existing all over our coun'
try amongst the producing classes. we
are simply tared to death. while tie
wealth of the country pays scarcely a
dollar. All this talk about a tarln 1or
revenue, for protection, &C., would
amount to nothing if we could have taxa
ton upon wealth. This done the tariff
will regulate itself. You say, your 'Just
nronosition about the double taxation OF
land was voted down because there were
only seven farmers in the Senate ltis
said that one lawyer in any legislative
capacity is equal to dozen farmers. II
this is true it will be long while before
we get any reform, if we depend upon
farmers to bring it about.
Especially when we consider the tac'
that in every election the farmers are
divided and vote against each other whe1
all their interests are identical. So lons
as POLITICAL Slavery exists to the extern
that it does in this country, we shall hav'
to look to lawyers and such men tor al
rbe reform that we shall be able to get
