Refdnding the Cotton Tax.

The southern Democrats are preparing
series of jobs that contemplate serious
'nid upon the Treasury of the United States.
1t Is proposed now that the cotton tax,
which amounts TO large sum, shall he re-
fu led, under the assumption that it is
Illegal. II was a measure that grew out of
the war to crush rebellion, and belongs to
large family which sooner or later are to be
brought forward with view to indemnity
ing those who suffered pecuniarily in the
results Of that - rggle. The plan fore
shadowcd is to indur, the Genera! Govern
mpnt to appropriate the necessary amount
TO cover this tax, which is represented us
amounting to from six to nine dollars per
Srre, either in money or bonds, and then
let the courts decide who il belongs to. To
accomplish this the best efforts of the
Southern Senators and Representatives in
Congress are to be invited and urged.
The Mobile Register, an intensely South
ern journal, takes the following view of this
question:
The great objection raised against the proposed
reflnding Of that Illegal tax is that the parties who
originally phll " nave tlllltf ultu or lhleu, ana
that the claims have passed into other hands
What sort Of morality is this? Can 1t be urged
Mat when u thief is caught with his plumber. and
he rightful owner of the property Is dead or alb
pnt. the thief is IN he allowed To retain that plum
der? The only fact to be inquired into Is whether
ne United States lawfully came by the tax, and If
nv did not, then let the amount he nj once set
side and remain on interest in the National Treas
sry till proper aud legitimate claimants can be
IL tI. In 81.
NJ which the Government acted In the matter of
he Indemnity paid In 1888 by the French Govern.
nent for certain captures OF our merchantmen by
French privatcers previous To lsIl, and which by
he convention Of that year, agreed to be set
d. by the payment Of fifteen million francs and
which Indemnity 10 this day remains in the Treas
Try, under the name Of the French spOlatun
Gnd, because Of the alleged want of proper proof
" the claimants to their right To Us division,
Til, argument used by our Mobile c0tem-
pOrary is peculiarly Its own, and We do not
inter uponithe subject to controvcrt it. II
Me Government as is assumed, had no
authority of law or constitutional right to
evy this tax and that is made apparent,
then simple justice would demand that
restitution should he promptly made. But
A. we have already remarked this is one oi
family OF questions that will sooner ol
later he forced upon the attention of Con
xress. The people of the South hold that
the war measures Of the Government which
led to the suppression of the rebellion arr
all outside the authority OF the Constitu
ton, and hence all the consequences that
have fallen upon the Southern States under
that struggle are without justification and
should be indcmnifed. There was great
destruction of private property under the
processes Of invasion and war. The slave
holder was despoiled Of the property he
held In his human chnttels, and he has not
abandoned the idea that he is some day ID
