Conscientious scruples concerning tho Bible
In courts Of law differ very widely. In ono
case Of some prominence witness refuses to
awsar upon the holy book, but down in Mem
phis they take moro practical Wow OF tho
question. Yesterday the io passed between
Two lawyers, when one Of them grabbed up
The Scriptures, aud with this mighty weapon
pf truth promptly knocked his nun down.
The Judge was both wrathfr,l and ratified
Ho fined the lawyers $50 each for fighting,
Md the ahoritf s2d for not baing on hand 70
separate the combatants, but, on second
thought, renitted the Inter fine, as it oo-
,urrod to him that ho had sent the officer of

The centennial celebration Of the batt1a Of
Bunker Hill has been made the oocasion Of
many long speeches, declamatioua, md 70
luminous writings, both in prose, poetry, and
citntions Of historical documents. Nearly all
that has boon spoken and written, however,
has been OF descriptive character, devoted
to narratives Of tho battle, biographical
sketches OF tile prominent persons engaged,
and desperate endeayors to solve the conflict
ing problem whether the battle was fought
on Bunker Hill or Breeds Hill, md whether
tho monument stands on Breed'a Hill or
Bunker Hill. Littlo attention hns been paid
to tho moral aspects Of this battle, the real
purposes and motive which aotuated the COL
onists in their sudden armed resistance to the
British Government, aud the resu1ta which
they expected to accomplish. Whom those
things ars considered In their proper light,
tho courage OF the men who fought at Lex
ington, Concord, and Charlestown appears
grandes than evar. These men fought, In tho
first place, without any definite political pur-
! pose. There may havo been Little handtul
Of patriots lilo SAMUEL Adams and JouN
| HANCOCK who could gee tha results Of the
war and could take In at glance its real
character; but tho great mass Of the people
had no specific end in view when they began
tho contest. They had no scheme Of inde-
pendent government in thsir minds, no com.
rnunity Of purpose, no idea Of ultimate
consequences. They did not foreseo
the founding Of great Republic, the
| establishment Of q new power, the

THE COMING CONGRESSMAN,

The next Congress will contain great
number OF now men, a fow resuscitated per-
sous, relics Of paleodo politics, and several
Congressman who haye sAt as ciphors for the
last few ycars, but whose friends expect them
to cut q genuine figure hereafter, now that
they hare gnined experience md have possi-
bly, ennncipated themselves from too slavish
subsorvionco to the CAUCUS. Taken a]l In oil,
tho unknown is marked clement Of tho
Forty-fourth Congress. There aro prizes
enough to DO won, but tho question Of who Is
to tako them ROMANS mystery. And yet it
is not difficult to point out the qualities
which tho coming Congressman, the
man who ia to make Ills mark and
bring back into being tho traditions
Of tho times Of WEBSTER, CALHOUN,
CLAT, and BENTON must have. Such man
is surely on tho boards. The country needs
him, and the forco Of that great circumstance
will develop him. He may not be one Of tho
elect to tho next Congress, but We imagine
le Is. Some one, ut least, Of tho 500 men,
bers Of tho next Congress, Senate and House,
will probably be the coming Congressman.
Tho fold Of choica is SO large, tho oppor-
tunities arc 80 great, the need is so urgont,
TINT the coming man must 10 about to como
very soon. What, then, must he bo?
He must be imbued with some great idoa,
master passion, that will stamp itself on
his overy action. II We take tho men whose
names live and will lire In American
politics, we find each ono OF them
coupled with sone ono great belief. Man
aud idea arc blended in our minds, and
either suggests the other. HAMILTON, the
hnancior and lin great psrt) tile founder Of
the doctrine Of Natioualism; DE- Writ CI1N-
TON and the Eric oanal JERrERaox and tho
great dogma Of popular sovereignty; We'd
sTrn, the expounder Of tho Constitution I;
CALHOUN, tho ssato-sorereignty nulliaor /;
CLAY, the man Of compromises and the
sponHor Of tho so~callad "lhnerican systom :"
Of protection by high tariffs, ,-theso aro in
6tancea Of this fact There are three great
questions now before the country: Shall trade
with other nations bo fettered Or free? Shall
the Civil Service continue to be The spoils Of
partisan war? shall tho currency be dishon-
est or honest, shinplastors or gold standard?
Tbs coming Congressman will mike himself
the exponent Of one Of these three questions,
and he wilt expound tho right side Of 1t.
His learning, hia shrewdness, Ills cloqnence,
his aleepless energy in pushing the attack
and securing the results of tho victory,
will mark him out Of tho common herd.
Probably the greatest political capacity now
open to any American IL tho advocacy Of
revenue taxation. The man who dovotes biz
life to 1t, supposing him to DO still in his
prime, or, better, just entering upon 1t, ani
who possesses tact, energy, education, ani
M overwhelming, aelf-couquoring belief II
his theory, will bring about the reform n
PKx1 and ooBDzs did in England, md writ
his name aeross the pages Of American his
tory SO legbE that remotest posterity ca,
read 1t and revere 1t. What will be hi
name?

POVERTY AT THE HOUTH,

Ill e1teAalFc TOUR through the Cotton StAtGE,
called attention 10 the general fact
that the people Of those States, white and
black, aro in state Of pinching poverty. The
soil, naturally flno one, IL exhausted by s,c~
cessive crops Tho folds aro then nbanton-
cd, nothing boing ever tlono to restore them.
The white plantora arc living year ahead Of
thcir crops. thus practically 1uortgaging thor
plantations to tho " factors" Tlese arc
ca'lses naturally leading to impovorishment.
But there ia much moro important md tli-
rect cause, and that is that the 4ohite pop,ilq-
ton tci1 not seork. No white man
is willing to accept social degratla-
ton by working In tho fold. Tho
native energy Of the white population, sapped
by tho s|avo-system, is paralyzed by tho spirit
Of caste which Inns outlived slavery. Tho
former slave-holder vhoso plantation is suf-
ferel to become waste, and who is made poor
by tho taxes on his unproductive lands, c1ings
to the dolusion that, under tho new order, he
can continue rs tlo s'p1anter who never
worked mud mnintains unabAted tho casto-
spirit which estimates lnbor as degrading.
His sons inbi6o tho SAME notion. Tho Caste
feeling, which Is almost as ine1orably main-
taincd ns In 1ndin, mud which these very men
Themselves maintain, forbids them to work.
Tho poor whites, now na before tho Wnr, take
their ideas from tito plnntation-owners,
and, rather than work, live in as wrotohed
condition as did tho slaves in the ante-be2um
timc8. The poor whites will only do farm.
work when reduced to tho alternative Of
work or starve. Then they will only work
enough to stavo of starvation. With them
to work in the cotton-hold is to come down
to tho Lowell Of tho negro, md thoy will sponge
and beg, and mnyhnp steal, rather than 30
legrndo themselves according to tho codo Of
caste that obtains III the Cotton States. To-
day, with all their encouragement Of immi-
grafton, with their low-priced lands, tho
whites Of the Cotton States repel immigration.
Tho intelligent, wcil-to-tlo farmer from tho
West who should settle in one OF tho Cotton
states and there put his hind to tho
pillow, would, by this same memorable caste,
be assigned sociat position on a par with
that Of tho "poor white trash." His wifo
and his daughters, no matter how well edu-
cated, might DO patronized by tho plantors'
wives and daughters, but would bo excluded
from society, savo that of the "wlito trash.'
Il he worked with the negroes as m Illinois
or Iowa farmer works with his "hands N; If
ho treated them as an Illinois or Town farmor
does his hands, aa men entitled to treatment
as men from their employers {and wero ho in
telligent he would do 30, since for such trent

The New York World of Inst Thursday con-
tains n long essay by CuAn1Es O'Cosoa upon
Democracy. It is a remarkable paper, not
calculated to holp its authors chances for the
Presidency, but one TINT may fairly claim the
respect Of every student of politics and Of
every Intelligent voter. It is disagured by
outbreaks Of Bourbonism that sound like OK
tracts from the Senate debates on the South
Carolina notification ordinance. Take, for
instance, tho suggestion that tho decision Of
oil the State aud Federal Courts should DO
subject to the review Of Court composed of
Judges chosen by the States. What is this
but now form OF the South Carolina suggos.
ton Of a convention Of States? The
members Of the Convention would bo
called Judges, not delegates or repre-
sentatives, aud that would be about
ali the difference. Mir. O'CoNoa says
such Court would prevent conflicting
laws and jarring jurisprudence" and that 1t
"might also defend tho autonomy Of the
states.' OAIuouN, wera he alive, would
doubtless heartily second the proposition to
creats such Court, appointed by the
estates, not the Union, and yet superior to
tho Union. Then, too, Mr.. O'Coson will
scarcely strengthen himself or Ills party by
hia sweeplng condemnation Of Republicans
| and Var Democrats together, and his implied
| declaration that tho Democrats who opposed
the Rebellion and fought in behalf Of the
Union were wrong. He describes the course
Of the North towards the South, up to the

Now. comes tho fatal decisions Of tho Su-
preme Court, which declare that the judg-
nents rendered by the Courts for the taxes Of
1871, 1872, and 1873 arc void, there never
having been any Legal record made up show
ing delinquency, and that the Court really
had no Jurisdiction. and had no evidence be-
fore it Of anything on which Judgment
could bo rendered. Tho result of these de-
cisions is, therefore, to practically blot out
tho $477,000 Of taxes which the Comptroller
returns rs "appealea and enjoinedL" Mr..
ADAMS soys that these ta1es aro not lost, but
continue n len; that is to soy, any person
wiahiug to pay them Gun of course do SO,
but there is no power to enforce their collco-
tion. The certificates Of tax-sales, represent
ing 9587,T7G Of uneollected revenue, mainly
Of the taxes of 1879 and 1870, stand in about
the same condition they may be liens, hut
there Ia no power to enforce their collection,
and tho city must look to voluntary payments
for the payment Of any part Of this revenue.
The uncollected tnx Of 1874, amounting In
round numbers to fro millions Of do!lara, Is
by far the moat serious. The proceedings so
far haye been identical with those in the caso
OF the ta1es Of 1878, mud hero comes the real
difficulty in the whole busincss-
In 1879, the General Assembly passed what
Is known as tho Revenue Inv, providing for
the assessment, levy, and collection Of taxes
for State and county purposes, which act, in
Sec. 12o, provided:
The prorer authorities Of towns, townships, dis
ts1cts and Incorporated ciuea, towns. and villages,
collecting :sxes under this act, shall annusly,
beforo the second Monday In Augus, certify 10 the
County Clark tbs several amounts which they asssray
require to b. raiiud By taxAtion anything in their
specve Charters in acts heretofore passed by the
General Assembly Of thIa state to tho contrary not
| wIthssauding.
This was IN authority for any city to dis
ponsa with its own local machinery and havo
its taxes collected with tho stato and county
| taxes, and by tho machinery Of the latter.
| At that time thero was Il strong objoctlon to
this procedure because tho assessed value OF
property in Chicago for city taxation was
$500, ,000, 900, upon which tho city to raisa
