Effects Of the Political Situation

1t must be evident to the most casual OBJ
serve from the course of the market yester-
day that the unsettlng effect of impending
political changes is beginning to bear seri-
Gus fruit The prospect ahead not only pre-
vents people from coming into the market
as buyers, but causes a constant inpour of
orders to sell their holdings In amarkct
such as the present, and with the trouble
some outlook ahead, few people want to be
long Of stocks. Certain ii is that under the
demoralizing influence of 4 bad break in the
stocks Of the Pacific roads there would be
Il general break in the market, and every
body knows it. The leading men OIL the in
side of these corporations, who have to steer
their course looking long way ahead, are
trying to sell out rs fast as possible They
understand that it is no time to sell with the
general mob Of sellers, and that there will
be such Il mob when the pending political
changes work out their effects in general

This, however can only work to postpone

Mahoneism in North Ca rolina.

Mr.. G. l.. Cook, one of the straghtout caudi-
dates for Congress in North Carolina in letter
to General Mahonc's Washington organ says:
The candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court
on the liberal ticket in this State was indicted for
murder by Solicitor Settle. now Judge Settle, lust
after the war, for shooting Union men in the
county of Randolph. The amnesty act and a lib
cral use of money saved his neck The coalition
movement according TO the declaration of the
chairman of the liberal State committee, was organ
lied for the purpose ofdestroying the republican
party, opposing prohibition and temperance legis.
laton. | am informed that letters are now being
sent to each county in the State calling for the
names OF postmasers who either oppose or do not
actively support the coalition movement with \
view to their speedy removal. A wholesale de-
capitation is proposed. The victims are earnest
and honest republicans, who have too much honor
and spirit to submit to the commands of arrogant
inflated. self-constitutcd leaders. If the Prcsi.
dent allows this TO be done, it will not comport
with your declaration that he does not use the
public Offices as rewards or punishmcnts Had
pronounced republicans OF character been uomi
mated, we would have carried the State beyond \
doubt; but there is prospect for the success of
the coalition ticket. The bottom has droppcd
out, the bubble has burstcd, the contributions
from MIR. Hubbclfs committee and the assessments
from revenue officials can't save it. If any man
from North Carolina tells you or President Ar
thur to the contrary, he is either after office or

The Tax Tag Case.

Judge Fitzhugh of the Chancery Court of
Richmond yesterday decided the tag tax
cases, in which the manufacturers of fertili-
zers are so interested. The Judge decided
that the action of the commissioner of Agr-
culture was illegal, and sustained The plain
tiff in every particular. The special cause
of the suit was the following rule of the
Commissioner of Agriculture every pack
age of fertilizer offered for sale to be used
for Agricultural purposes in this state, must
have appended a tag showing that the same
is registered in the department Tags will
be prepared by the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, who will furnish the same to per-
sons selling or proposing to sell fertilizers on
payment of 5 cents for each tag to be an
pended to packages of 200 pounds or less.
Packages containing more than POO pounds
will require special tag, which will he pre-
pared and 'charged for in proportion 10 the
excess over 200 pounds" This is the rule
which is charged as illegal and oppressive.
In the answer, the respondent alleges that
the charge of live cents for each tag is con-
stitutional, because it is equal and uniform,
and the Constitution does not prohibit its
collection. The Constitution requires that
taxation shall be equal and uniform, and
that all property shall be taxed in propor-
ton to its value. Now, the requirement Of
rule that five cen tag shall be appended to
each package of 200 pounds or less, is a spe-
chic tax ON each package, irrespective of
the value. One package may have a value
much greater than another, and yet accord

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT'R. 10, 1882

THE RICHMOND Wing of yesterday said i:
1.-THE New York Herald is national Jour
nal, and the principal organ Of impartial
and independent public opinion in Amer
ica." We do not agree with the Wing in
this, nor hardly anything else nowadays.
out accepting the Herald's last utterancc on
Mahoneism as correct, the Wings owner is
in a bad way, for that utterance is also Of
yesterdays date, and is as follows:
''Thc late election in Ohio has had Il de-
moralizing effect on the readiustcr canvass
in Virginia. According to some Of the lead
ing papers Of the State there arc thousands
of voters who before the democratic victory
in Ohio were known to sympathiZc with the
Malone movement, but who now declare
their intention of voting for the regular
democratic ticket. General Malone is en-
dcavoring to rally his forces by assuring
them that the Ohio disaster is blessing in
disguise and that it will have the effect Of
harmonizing the party in this State and in
Pennsylvania. There was time in the his
tory of republicanism when Il repulsc in IL
great State like Ohio would have aroused it
everywhere but that day has passed. Boss"
rule has become SO odious that the better
clements in the republican ranks are deter
mined TO make an end of it even if to accom-
plsh that object it shall be necessary to
place the democracy in power. The bosses
must go and Mr.. Malone may as we'll make
up his mind TO that fact"

GENERAL MALONE will be an angercd
man if Mr.. Howard Carroll, the republican
candidate for Congressman at large in n.y.,
be elected, but the certain defeat of that gem
tleman he will roll rs Il sweet morsel under
his tongue for has not Mr.. Carroll declared
that if elected he will advocate absolute
adjustment of assessments upon office
holders for election purposes and will not
ask either the President or any member of
his Cabinet for any office within their Gift?
and what would the Generals chances in
Virginia be if he had acted as Mr. Carroll
talks?

GENERAL MAHoNE's Washington organ
says the stalwart, Arthur wing of the repub-

gress in Virginia. There are four members
of the present House who were elected as
Administration men. Four more will make
eight So that the anti-stalwarts will have,
according to the prophetic organ reftrredto,
only two of the ten members apportioncd to
Virginia. But, happily for the State, the
prophet in this case is q false one for the
most reliable information upon the subject
is to the effect that the democrats will have
eight members, the anti-stalwarts one, and

ran down the street, followed by the fourth
party with two horse carriage, into which
the runaways jumped and were rapidly

HERE'S WHAT the principal organ ofim-
partial and Independent public opinion in
America according to General Mahonc's
home organ, says of the light that has at last
broken upon the colored people.
''The colored people in Pennsylvania are
in open rebellion against the rule of Don
Cameron in that State. The total colored
vote of Pennsylvania is about twenty-thrcc
thousand, and it is reasonably certain that n
very heavy percentage of it will be cast at
the coming election in favor of the indcpen-
dent ticket. The Pittsburg CoIored citizen
in recent Issue says: We believe that Il po-
litc;ll reformation isabsolutcly necessary for
the welfare of the State. Democratic AS
ccndancy would be more desirable than the
present spoil and boss system as managed by
the stalwart wing Of the republican party;
'Cameronism is however, accordin. to our
PittShur@ contemporary, a harder yoke to
bear than any one which democratic rule in
the kcystOn State would be likely TO impose
on them. This revolt Of the coorcd men of
Pennsylvania is Il strong commentary on the
boss system practiccd by the Cameron dcs-
pOtism.
