FEnERAL TAXES.

The subject of Federal taxation is one
that is not fully understood by many OF
the people of the United States. Because
the Federal taxes are placed upon arti-
cles of consumption, and not upon prop
erty, many seem to think they amount
to bat little, when in fact they ara the
real source Of burden to the country. The
poor, ignorant negro, who pays no tax
whatever to the State, is not aware that
upon every blanket that he buys nearly
one-third OF the cost of it is tax paid
to the Federal government. The farmer
pays a tax upon all the articles used
upon his farm. This tax goes into every
thing, reaches every mans home; neith-
er the rich nor the poor escape it. Often
the men Of small means-the laboring
man, the mechanic, and the farmer-psy
more than men who own large property.
1t is this which is grinding the faces Of
the poor, and which is causing so
much distress in the land. II
this tax were taken directly from the
people, if it had to be collected by reg
uIar tax.collector, if every man had to
pay openly, what he does now cOvertly,
seven dollars on every member OF his
family, there would be such burst OF
indignation that it would sweep the
present party from power as with tenn
pest. 1t is to reduce this taxation, to
place it more upon articles Of mere lux
ury than upon articles of absolute ne
cessity, that the election Of the Demo
cratic candidate s, Tilden and Hendricks
is so much needed. The people feel that
there is disease gnawing their very vi
tails, and threatening them with destruc'
ton; but many Of them attribute. it to
the wrong cause. The only hope of re-
lief is in the election of Tilden and Hen
bricks, and in the substitution OF 8
cheap government for an eXtravsgsnt
one--of just and equal system Of tax
alton for the present most unjust and
ruinous system which bears most heavi-
IL upon those least able to bear it.

about reconciliation in such an unusten-

psuacea is 30 promising that we Deg

ing to take the peril Of executing In
the troublous time Of war, when the lie
OF the nation was imperiled, he shruhK

fiery god, hereioiced in the smoking neli
of battle. The scalps OF thousand
rebels are hanging up in his wigwam, as
dry and red as the braided pods OF pep

hanging business which he advises we

coil Of rope upon his shoulder start
inR out on his cheerful GRAND. How
sweet and cslmly does he contemplate
his mission Of patriotic mercy. He

ments of terror In this. The mysterious
hour, the swift trial, the dangling rebel.
Fisher has created great CONSERVATION In
all the country round about. Can't he
be induced to relent? In the name OF
humanity, we implore him to spare the
women and children. Seriously, the
language OF this Radical fanatic deser-
YES, and will receive, the condemnation
OF every man who desires the peace and
tranquility Of society. This is the cen
tennial year, and the wild passion aud
extreme hate expressed by this lunstic
are out Of place. 1t is just such utter
ances IS those expressed by the incen-
diary Fisher last Saturday night, that
incites the riots which have SC
often disgraced the south. There
can never be reconciliation and peace
to the county when Radicals continue
to malign and traduce the people among
whom they live. For such language
there is no apology. 1t is indefensiblei
and we have greatly mistaken public
sentiment if it is not so regarded by al
parties. When southern rebels car
calmly submit to such language, 1t shows
how much they are willing to endure
for the sake of peace. They have sub
mitted to robbery and plumber, been de

dered, but we are impressed with tn
belief that they will not voluntaril!

From an Occasional Correspondent Of the
Appeal
PARIS, July 22.-This is one Of the
most enterprising towns in the northern
portion Of West Tennessee. Many years
ago Henry county voted one hundred
thousand dollars to assist in building the
Memphis and Louisville road. Since
that vote was taken, Notwithstanding
the cslsmities of the war, the value OF
of real estate in Paris alone WAS In.
creased one hundred and forty-tWo
thousand dollars. That debt is now paid,
and they have the benefits of this road
for all coming time. Recently this town
has voted, by three-tcurths vote, thirty
thousand dollars to assist In
building a road from this place
to Cairo, illinois, which is
only seventy-five miles distant, and
then they will have direct railroad con.
nection with st. Louis. The terms OF
the subscription ere that the railroad
tax receipts shall be received on the road
in payment of freight and passage. A
little village Cottage Grove ten miles
from Paris, proposes to raise an idl-
tional ten thousand dollars, and they
confidently expect to have the road
under contract by the trst OF
September Of this year. The crops
generally are very good In this
county (Henry), but on account OF the
destruction of tobacco plants by the in
sects in the spring, there Is no more
than one-third of crop planted. To
bacco is the most profitable crop to the
acre in this part of the State. Two acres
will generally produce one hogshead,
weighing sixteen hundred pounds, and
Oy,a hnndraH and fvppnfU-
eight dollars, or sixty-four dollars to the
acre, Raising tobacco does not interfere
much with the corn and wheat crops.
II they had cheap TRANSPORTATION raising
hay would be more profitable in proper
ton to the labor and expense than any
thing else. There is great deal of the
land in this county admirably suited to
the growth of timothy and herdsgrassi
clover grows splendidly. Land is very
cheap in this county in proportion to 1t:
real worth, but it will in few years be
much higher than it now is. General
Atkins is the favorite of this county for
| congress. Colonel n. Y. Csvitt, Of this
county, and Colonel g. w. Martin, OF
Weakly, are running for the senatorial
nomination in this district. r. 2. Cole,
OF Paris, is candidate for 6oater. 1t Is
understood that Gibson and Henry cOun'
ties are for him. A. s. Hawkins, o.
Carroll, it is said, will have no opposition
for senator from Carroll and Gibson
There are five candidates for representa-
tive from this county. The matter is tC
be settled by primary election on the
first Thursday in August. General l.
NJ. Tharpe, Of Paris, is spoken of rs the
candidate for elector for the State al
large, and Clint Alden, of Paris, as cleo
tor for this congre ,siOnal district. The
Memphis and Louisville railroad, one o.
the very best in the country, makes very
fast time from Memphis to this place
one hundred and thirty miles in five
and a half hours. The road is in fine
order, and everything in good condition

From an Occasional Correspondent


RossvILLE, July 22.-The corn cropis
splendid and will fully develop, without
any more rain. Cotton looks well, but
seems rather small; it is full Of squares
and bolls, and If no accident happens
will yield little above the average crop.
The merchants here look hopeful and
expect lively cash trade this fall and
winter. The farmers have not gone in
debt so far, as they generally do every
season. A good crop this year will
nearly put the farmers in this section
even with the world, and many will
have money to loan-the system of
buying goods on time, paying fabulous
prices and big interest, and mortgaging
their crops, teams, and sometimes their
land their homesteads) is the great
curse of any country, more damaging
than high taxation, funding bills, re-
sumption acts, or anything Of that sort,
and the ..sooner it is stopped, even il
it has to be done by legislation, the bet
ter off, Financially, will be the farmer
and merchant too. This is a thriving
little business point, and, excepting its
rival, CoIlierviIle, we think surpasse
any other point on the Memphis and
Charleston railroad this side Of Corinth,
except, perhaps, Salisbury. The citi-
zens of the new county of Bell are in
ecstacies over the report that Judge
Livingstone has, or will decide, in their
favor; he having recently heard the ev-
idence and argument OF the able coun-
sci, pro and con, at Bolivar, during the
sitting Of his court. The "big gun"
1.-THE attorney-generaD against the
new county virtually admits that he
has lost his case, and that Bell county
will be county de fdetO at the opening
of the chancery court, in Somerville, in
September next. There will be gen.
eral rejoicing of the citizens Of the new
county; it is triumph over which they
may justly feel proud, for old Fsyette
and Hardeman fought their "new daugh-
ter" very hard at law before they would
let her go in peace. Messrs. d. Il. Post
on and Thos. G. Lowe have successfully
conducted and prosecuted the rights snd
privileges of the new county, which is
another big feather in their cap OF vic
tory and ability. Politics are beginning

Young is the peoples favorite for con.

Governor Porter stands well here, but
he has not reduced the State debt like
Governor Brown did. Tilden and Hen

nous for them. A great many blacks
will support the Tilden and Hendricks
ticket.

INCENDIARY UITERANCEs.

The readers attention is called to the
communication over the signature Of
"a Conservative Democrat We
vouch for the reliability Of our CORE
spondent. We know nothing about
Mr.. Fisher, but would suggest the pro.
priety of his bridling his vituperative
tongue. While the Radicals are whIn-
ing about social ostracism, they will find
one Of their own party proposing not
only TO ostracise rebels, but to cruelty
them. The Craftsmanship of Mr.. Fisher
is sublime. He seems to be q kind Of
political 'mitTailleuse. Place him on the
steps OF the Hotel de Vile and he would
annihiIate the Paris commune in giffy.

of the rebels until they hang their heads

it is 50 practicable. 1t would instantly
inaugurste an era Of such good feeling.
There are many rebels down here
in the south who have never
