6: Operation Of Hon. james 6. BInine's
Drawback Law of 1866 ON War and
Cotton CIaims'' of the South.

A planter cutivating large estate in
Alabama on the usual plan with his colored
men-that is, one-fourth Of proceeds Of cot
ton grown shall be for rent, the balance to
be equally divided between the planter and
his colored laborcrs-the planter furnishing
the team and feeding the hands, they make
joint product of 1000 bales OF cotton,
weighing 500 pounds each.
Under the internal revenue law, which
requires the planter to pay the three cents
per pound before the cotton is shipped from
the place where it is grown, he has to pay
$4,000 tax before it can leave the tplanta-
ton. It is shipped North and sold to Mr..
Sprague, of Rhode Island, converted by
him into calicoeS, and then shipped to Bonn
bay. Dir. Sprague, Immediately makes out
his claim under this drawback, law, and is
paid the $4,000 outof; the Treasury Of the
United States. XII ..-.tnl: .;EI .s,..s..,.:st.
The planter who had to sell this cotton for
Mr.. S., could not charge this three cents
per pound, because the manufacturer; in
Man chester, Eng, having the worlds sup
ply Of cotton unaffected by this tax, would
not consent to, add this tax. TO the, price
paid for American cotton. It had, there
fore, to fan on the, impoverished planter
and his colored laborers OF the South in the
following proportions: r. 5;ca 'fa.:r.4 .

THE L1rE-lNsURANcE DECISION.

It Is stated in legal circles that the effect
of the late decision OF the Supreme Court
in the southern insurance cases reaches far
wider than was at first supposed. 1t Is said
that the principle laid down by the court is
such that all parties who have taken out
policy of life insurance, and then tailed
through one cause or another to continue
the payment of premiums, can recover the
equitable value of the amounts SO paid by
them. The companies, OF course, will not
admit that such broad latitude OF con-
struction shall be given to the opinion Of
the court, but the probability is that as this
view is taken by so many OF the legal pro-
fession considerable additional litigation
will grow out of the matter. -.

Quebec Calamity.

The fire which dcsolated part of
Quebec few days ago was singu-
arly destructive, Beginning at 3
p. IN. In n stable - owing, it is
said, to the incautious use Of
mltches by children = it spread
and before midnight had
destroyed nearly 700 houses, rem
dering about 1000 persons home
less. The houses were chiefly of
wood, aud were occupied principal
ly by people of small means.
The fire brigade was ineffective
in staying the general progress of
the flames. The supply of water
was scanty, and utterly inadequate
to the emergency. The fire had
in fact unchecked control in the
burned district, and subsidized only
when there were no more houses
on its eastward track.
