GOV. vANCEIN RICHMOND.

The Dispatch of Wednesday last
says: The Hall of the Young Mems
Christian Association last night was
crowded to its utmost capacity with
one of Richmopd's most refined and
intelligent audiences. attracted by the
reputation of the distinguished orator,
Ex-Governor q. B. Vance, of North
Carolina. With gracefully eloquent
introduction, in which he compared
the Scattered Nation" to the Gulf
stream, which steadily flows on and
refuses to mingle with the waters of
the ocean. the lecturer spoke of the
origin of the Jewish nation, the land
n which they lived, their government,
heir ancient history, their present
tatus. and their probable future. AS
it is hoped that that this noble lecture
will be widely and frequently repeat
ed, a report of it will not be at
tempted.
Suffice it to say, that from the be-
ginning to the end the great orator
held his audience spell-bound by
beautiful descriptions, able argu-
ments, and eloquent passages, and
convulsed them with laughter at his
keen wit, quiet humor, and admirable
hits.
Those who heard the lecture last
night will be sure to hear Governor
Vance agnin or Thursday night, and
those who were so unfortunate as not
to hear the story of the ''The Scatter
ed Nation" will surely not deprive
themselves of the privilege of hearing
Zeb. Vance on "The Demagogue."

ciudes well considered article on the

With all these Obstacles to contend

schemes to sap the foundation Of civil
liberty and destroy the purity of the
ballot box, We thought it we'll to pause
and reflect before calling upon our
people to take action in 80 important
q matter. But now that the Radical
Congress has dispersed and Couser-
vhtive Congress elected in its stead;
with the Force bill buried as deep as
it's originators, in infamy and dis
grace; with a reasonable assurance
that for several years to come we can
have free and fair elections-some-
thing that we have not enjoyed since

fairly and squarely on recol as favor

The following seems to be fair es-
innate of tn state Of public sentiment
as it now stands at Washington con-
corning political matters
1et. That Grant stock, to nse CON =
mon expression, is at heavy discount,
and has declined rapidly within the
past two months.
Cd. That q third term nomination
is no longer among the probabilities,
nor a third tern election among tue
proba biljties.
3D.. That pr. iudice against the
South has rapidly lost strength of late,
and strong reaction in favor of just
treatment of southern questions has
set in and borne down ali opposition.
4th. And as a result of these things,
that the moderate Republicans are full
of confidence and consider that i'll
them lies the only hope of their party.
The Norfolk Virginian, we think,
is entirely correct in this summing up
of the case.

WASHINGTON. March 1l-Night.-
There appears to be quite contest
going on over the postmastershlp at
Macon, Ga. 1t appears that some time
ago one Belcher was sent from Au-
gusta, Ga, to be Post Master at Ma
con, Ga. as a representative OF the
colored man. In the opinion OF the
Department and many of the patrons
of the Macon Office, he was not q good
Post Master, and the Postmaster Gen
| eral removed him and appointed Mr..
Henry S. Glover, who, 1t appears,
| does not live at Macon, but twenty or
| thirty miles away. z; rites are now
trying to induce the Senate not to con-
| firm Glover, because he does not live
within the delivery, and for other
reasons. One of the reasons given for
the retention of Belcher is that he is a
colored man. There Is no prospect OF
his retention, but 1T may be that IN
less the Republicans of Macon rally t.
| the support of Mr.. Glover the Presl-
| dent may be compelled to withdra =
his name and substitute therefor some
| of the other candidates, among whom
are McBarney and Bond, the latter OF
| whom was turned out without cause,
to give Belcher the place, on ac-
| count of bus being a colored man;
| the same questions are likely to come
| up with regard to other offices IN the
South. There appears to be two par
ties in this fight and the Postmaster
| General desires to get the best officers
and is opposed in some places by par
ties in interest claiming to be Repuo
ljcans. Because individuals whom he
thinks would make the best officer
the claim are not always the best He
puoIicans, as there has been good de.
of cutting OF tickets down there
These gentlemen keep away from the
Acknowledgement and are appear
antly trying TO induce the President
to listen to their political claims.

'H'EHfI COTTON FAX.

THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE RE-
PORT AGAINST REFUNDING IT.
WASHINGTON, March THE Com
mittee on Judiciary OF the Senate, to
whom was referred the petition of the
citizens of DeSoto county, Miss,
praying the return of taxes assessed
and collected for the years 1865, 1855,
1867, 1868 and 1869, respectfully re
port that the petition Of the citizens
Of DeSoto, Miss, asking the return of
tax on cotton for the years 1865 and
1859 inclusive, on the grounds that the
tax WAS unjust and oppressive, and
because it was unconstitutional.
The government of the United
States has been obliged to raise large
amount by taxation to defray the e1-
penses Of the recent war. The pro-
perty and industries at the North have
been heavily taxed, and as cotton con
stituted the principal wealth Of the
South, the committee see no reason
why tax upon it should be consider
ed unjust or oppressive. The cotton
tax has been claimed to be unconsti-
tutional for the following reasons
First, because it is equivalent to 6 di-
rect tax. aud is not laid according to
population. When the constitution
was framed the larger States were care
full to provide that direct tax should
be according to population, for fear
tax upon land by the acre might be
imposed upon them. Hence the con-
stitution, article !, section 2, provides
that direct taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States according to
an enumeration made every ten years;
but the cotton tax is not a direct or
laud tax it is a tax on production of
land. 1t is an excise on cotton severed
from the land in bale aud by the pound.
Second, the tax is claimed to be uncon-
stitutIoual, because it is not uniform.
The eighth section of article one pro-
oides that all excises shall be uniform
throughout the United States. The
tax is uniform. It is the same Wheth-
| er the cotton be in Maine of Louisiana.
| The fact that cotton is gre IN in the
! South and not at the North, creates no
want Of uniformity, any more than the
| fact that manufacturers are found at
| the North and not at the South rem
ders tax on the products of tue North
ern mechanic partial and local. Any
one can raise cotton, and as q matter
of fact Northern capital is invested in
its production. The excise is uni
| form.
| Third. It is said the tax is uncon-
stitutional because it is O tax ON ex-
ports. The pinth section of article
one provides that, 'No tax or duty
shall be laid on articles exported from
the State" The fact that any article
may be or is largely exported does not
make the article an exported article.
This is simply tax on cotton. The
object of the Constitution is to prohib-
it lax ON expectation and this tax is
not that. The commit therefore
recommend that the petition be not al
| lowed.
