Mrs, Henry Williams, woman OF
color complained to Squire Comings, yes
tcriay, that although she was the mother
of Hcnry's children, ald q good, virtHous
and duuful wife, he had persistcntly re-
fused to provide for her. Fora long time
she had been compelled to go from door to
door to beg the food that the children ate,
and as for herself not one single morscl Of
food had passed her lips for more than two
weeks! While this tale of ill-trcatment
was being untolded, Henry ertcrcd, His
story was that the Lord had never before
made such a shedevil Us Mrs. Henry-that
her tongue was aqua forts, and that no
man could live with her, and he didn't pro-
pose to try to do so
any longer. The much abused
mother listened and then declared 20 de
lo'd' that every word that that nigge; had
spoken, was lie--that he was a brute and
so on, and that no decent woman would
have anything to do with him. And tins
the aimable couple continued, until Henry
left the Office The woman then conclud-
ipg that if she sent him to Jail, where he
deserved to be, she'd be sure to get nothing
out of HIM, she made up her mind to let
him run, and take her chances

incline to General BUTLER's opinion-7and
we don't often agree with him. that; the
"dispatches were the work Of private indi-
"yidials, and that Congress had no rightto

Tobacco Tax--rnternal Revenue.

The danger row in the way OF the reduc-
ton OF the tobacco tax is from the sloth oil
the Senate committee in reporting the bill.
MI. MORRILL,, of Vermont, is chairman, and
may do something to delay 1t IL his sense OF
duty does not stand in the way.
II the, bill is, properly reported and
brought to action there is good hope that
the tax win be reduced to sixteen cents per
pound. That will: be q great advantage,
and will be hailed with qualification by the
entire tobacco growing and manufacturing
community. nm :,.,,,,, RI - 1T - ~
For this reduction our readers are fully
aware that our Virginia representatives and
our senators, have never, failed to exert NJ
their powers of, argument and influence on
all proper OCCASIONS. 1t has taken years oil
their labors and OF the labors OF the able
men and the large numbers OF sympathlzers
cooperating with them to make an impress
sion that leads us to hope for the success OF
the reduction. Had they and their friend:
devoted their efforts to the asitationoi pro
position to abolish the whole tobacco tax
they would have madly thrown away theil
cxertions; they would have acted unwlsely
and would have shown themselves as silly
as those who blame them for not ngitatine
1.-The rcpeal OF the entire tax instead OF en-.
deayoring to reduce it. -,--.--~..-- 80
7 The internal-reyenue tax ind the system,
too, are abominatpns in our land The
vast national debt occasioned them. And
it is vain to expect that they. can be greatly
reduced eyer, much less abolished, while
the burden Of debt is heavy. Tobacco
yields large revenue, tand the tobacco
country is not strong enough to resist the
imposition. A proposition 10 repeal the
public debt would stand a better chance OF
success than that TO abolish. the tobacco
tax. At this time only skg-scrapers
and schemers would essay q movement FOL
the abolition of this tax. Could anybody
hope TO carry such q motion A sincere at
tempt OF the kind could only be made by
man Of more zeal than Judgment.
We long for the day when it shall seen
wise aud hopeful to assail the whole inter
nal.reyenue systemic root it out OF the
land. s5a .s. .f,t i .lgY.i..ss- sfg.s
