Whiskey Tax.

1t is believed the Moffett whiskey bill viii
become law. We do not believe in the in
hlibility Of the principle of legislation and
taxation which creates it, bat desperate cases
require desperate remedies. The finances of
the State are in a deplorable condition. No
escape seems reasonable from the heavy bur-
den of debt. except re adjustment of the
obligations, reputation, or some such extra
ordinary and abnormal method Of legislation
as that which drives at a specific object, and
forces it to the rescue. Ii the policy is adopt
ed by the legislature of selecting whissey as
the lever to lift the Commonwealth out of
fler troubles, we shall insist that Tobacco
and Oysters share in the honor. There is
mot a member that has given his vote for the
'''Mofett punck'e who can consistently re-
fuse to embrace Oysters and Tobacco in the
agencies of relief. Mhiskey is a Valley spe-
eialty, aud Valley member has devised a
means By which to make it aid in redeeming
the credit of the Commonwealth. We al
ready pay an undue proportion OF the State
taxes. The assessment of our real and per-
sonal property is infinitely higher than it is
in eastern Virginia. 1t would be but fair
and just that the Oysters and Tobacco OF
eastern Virsinia should be made to pay an
equal share OF the necessary revenue with
Whiskey. They are all luxHries. They be-
zong to the same class OF products; aud if
sthe Legislature is really in earnest to help
the STATE no unnecessary delay will be en-
eourRgsd in fixing specific tax on Tobacco
and oysters, as has been done on Whiskey. |
No cheating around The board but fair
deal, anl the Valley will stand firm.

South Carolina.

No one can read the letter addressed, BY
direction of the President, to Cows. Cham
berlain and Hampton, of South Carolina
without being impressed with its sincerity
and an ardent desire to do what is right, I'M
der the laws and Constitution, in adopting
policy towards that State. FIe simply asks
Q conference with the contesting claimants
for executive authority, and defers the pro-
priety OF such conference to the judgment OF
the gentlemen addressed If they shall con-
cur with the President, and free inter-
change Of views follow and the embarrass-
ments surrounding the case shall be calmly
and dispassionately considered, We have
strong hopes that satisfactory solution of
the difficulties will result. Reasonable men
do not expect complications of such magni-
tude as those which attach TO South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, to be settled in a day.
Every good citizen is anxious that an ad-
igstment shallbe consummated, and peace
and quiet restored, but all must recognize
the embarrassments which present them
selves, and the care and study necessary to
their satisfactory settlement.
President Hayes will act with directness
and frmness, when he has fully informed
himself, and such action as he may take will
be with view to the good Of the country and
the interests of the people most intimately
interested in the adjustment. We have
che utmost confidence in his patriotic pur-
poses, aaa believ the result will meet the
approval of ali good citizens.

Extra Session.

The President has determined to call al
extra session OF Congress, to convene on til,
4th OF June next. The last Congress failed
to make appropriations for the support o.
the army, and, after careful investigation. il
was determined that there was no lepa
method by which the embarrassments aris-
ing from this fact, could be remedled
Hence the extra session.
We see it stated that the present Clerk OF
the House Of Representatives, Mr.. Adams,
and the former Clerk, Mr.. Mcpherson, have
been at work on the roll of the new House
OF Representatives. They figure it out three
democratic majority, allowing the Republic
cans all they claim in the South. There are
a number of contested seats. which may
change this result, but in what respect can
not now be stated.
There is already spirited contest going
on among democratic aspirants for the
Speakership. Speculation as to the result is
useless, but we think Mr.. Randall stands the
best chance for the nomination. sThe Repub-
licans are comparatively quiet. Mr.. Garfield
seems to be the conceded candidate of that
party. There is a mere possibility that the
democrats may lose the organization OF the
House, by reason of internal contentious and
jealousies. But the probability is that they
will hold together and maintain their con-
troll of that body. 1t is entirely possible that
the influence of the Southern policy %. tile
President may draw TO his support sothe
conservative democrats, and if this influence
manifests itself before July, it may result in
the election OF Conservative Republican to
the Speakcrship.
The two parties will be so equally bal
anced in the next house, that the confitry
may expect prudent legislation, and that
when the business for which it has been pri-
marily called together, has been consumma-
ted, an adjournment will be effected.

The New York Tribune says that the de-
termination of the Cabinet to send a Com
mission of eminent citizens, representing the
conservative elements of both parties, to
Louisiana, before disturbing the present
status there, is conspicuously wise one.
Two governments, each claiming to be legally
organized in all its departments, constantly
menace each other and the peace OF the
State. Before any general policy looking to
the permanent supremacy of the civil over
the nilisary authority can be successfully
carried out, the present stare OF organized
war must pass away.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE Casa good
deal undoubtedly will be said about the pc
etical Justice and sentimental suggestiveness
of the appointment of Frederick Douglass rs
Marshal of the District of Columbia !; but it
is important just now for its political signii-
canoe. The President has announced as his
policy the impartial treatment of all the citi-
zens Of the United States, Of whatever race
OF color. He intends that the Southern
whites and the Southern blacks alike shall
have their rights so far as he can secure
them The appointment OF Mr.. Key, a
Southerner and a Confederate soldier, to q
place in the Cabinet and the selections
which probably will be made of Democrats
for Federal offices in the South, emphasize
the white side of the case. 1t is well that
the black side also should be emphasized;
and it would be hard to emphasize it more
positively than by the appointment of fugi-
tive slave to an important position in Dis
trict where the slave trade was relucta ntly
abolished little more than twenty five years
ago.-N. 7. Post.
