The Drummer. stop the Way.

Yesterday the consideration OF District business
In the House was stopped again by the selfish OBJ
1ectionS OF Messrs Cox, Randall and others, in
behalf OF some OF their drummer constituent who
want to get rid OF paying any license tax in this
District The tax had been redIced by the Dis
trct committee from 500 to 500, but the drum
mers want TO get rid OF paying anything. 1t Is
surprising that Congressman OF the staining OF
ex-Speaker Randall and Mr.. Cox are willing to
place themselves in the illiberal attitude of
sacrificing the interests (Of which Congress is the
sole cuStodan} OF the $50 600 people OF the District
of Columbia in order to save few dollars to three
or four of their drummer constituents II is noted,
too that the mos; Zea,OuS efforts in behalf OF re-
HeyIng the dTummeFS from tax in this District
came from precisely the quarters where drum
merS are taxed most heavily. Thus the Maryland
delegation voted 5Olidly yesterday to abolish the
tax here, thoug h Baltimore city maintains stiff
tax upon drummers. and any attempt to secure
congressional action to relieve the fraternity OF
this tax in Maryland would be resented a great
impert.nence. Yet Mr.. McLane and the other
Representatives from Maryland have no scrupleS
against bliNteTng the defencelesS people OF this
District with legislation iii behalf OF the drum
mers that they would not tolerate il applied TO
their own people.
Again, MIR. Cox and Mr.. Randall made the
curious objection To prompt action upon Dis
trict business yesterday that more time should be
given for debate. When the fact is taken into
consideration that the District committee, with
their utmost efforts, scarcely able to obtain an
hours tine month ia the House for the con-
sideration OF District business, this talk about
more time for debate, put in by way of opposition
TO the attempt TO utilize the brief period secured
yesterday for District legislation, has the look OF
broad burlesque that would be immensely laugha-
able If the interests involved here were not SO
serious Ii is really 10 be hoped that Congress
will promptly attend to the relief OF these OPP
pressed drummers of New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, SO that MessrS. Cox, Randall, McLane
and others can get on to little broader guage Of
craftsmanship and not undertake to block of all
District legislation in behalf of the cheeky peri
patetc gentlemen who travel with samples.

We publish 10 another column an able and
interesting communication in reply to the
speech of Senator Jackson, delivered in this
city on Tuesday evening last. Our CORE
sPondent is one of the most prominent citi-
zens of the State, admired for his ability and
the purity of blameless life. His voice has
heretofore been potential in the councils oil
his party, and the strong points 50 foTcibiy
stated would have additional weight If ac-

enlightened by his Iabors. 1T will be seen
that Senator Jackson is treated with a court
esq inspired by sincere personal friendship,
but the facts and arguments are 30 forci6ie
that the commu nicstiou could not be other

Alone walk the peopled city,
Where each seems happy with his own;
Oh friends, ask not for your pity.
walk alone.
No more for me yon lake rejoiees,
Though moved by loving airs of June:
o birds, your sweet and piping voices
Are out OF tune
In vain for me the elm tree arches
Its plumes in manya feathery spray;
In vain the evenings starry marches
And sunht day.
In vain your beauty summer flowers;
Ye eannot greet these cordial eyes;
They gaze on other fields than ours
On other skies.
The good is rifted from the Golfer,
The blade is stolen from the sheath;
Life has but one more boon to Ofer
And that is-Death.
Yet well I know the voice OF duty
And therefore life and health must crave,
Though she who gave the world its beauty
Is in her grave.
live, o lost one for the living,
Who drew their earliest breath from thee
And wait until with CAD thanksgiving
shall be free.
For life to me Is as a station
Wherein apart a traveller stands,
One absent long from home and nation
In other lands;
Aud 1, as he who stands and listens,
Amid the twilight's chill and gloom,
To hear approaching in the distance
The train for home,
For Death shall bring another waiting,
Beyond the shadows of the tomb,
On yonder shore a bride is waiting
Until come.
Ia yonder field are children playing,
And there-O vision OF delight
! see the child and mother straying
In robes of white.
Thou, then the loving heart that breakfast,
Stealing the treasures one by oae,
I'll call thee blessed when thou makest
The parted-one.

MHoPAYs THE pKRr.

Eb James is excruciatingly facetious in
commenting on the Democratic platform.
In his Memphis speech he said: "Iu the
Bate platform they start out by s'ying
that I'VE have the right TO settle the ii-
debtedness.' Now who are we anyhos !?
We are not the RUSSELL men, because they
are boilers. We are not the Hawkins or
the Bessley men. We are the Bate mer,
and we claim the right to settle. Well,
then, you pay the debt. II il Is true that
the Bate men have right TO settle the dett
then they ought to pay" The Bate inca
have the right to settle the debt because they
pay most of the taxes which will be levied
for its extinguishment. The Democrats q
Shelby county pay more taxes than The
whole Republican party of Tennessee. Y 1
Mr. James would deny them any voice in
essss-sa.r=s for-settfiB, -tLs-SI~ts-
debt, and would force them TO adopt tie
terms proposed by Alvin Hawkins, whose
party pays less than one-third the taxes.
Hawkins made a settlement in defiance OF
the protest of the taxpaying people, wlo
intend to settle to suit themselves instead Of
the minority and the non-taxpayers. The
Bate Democracy represent the taxpayirg
wealth OF Tennessee, and they intend to e1-
ercise controlling voice as 10 the tax as.
sessments upon their property. If the last
Legislature had made settlement which
would have burdened the people with So
100000 Of taxes per annum it would have
received the same support given the sixty
and-six bill, because most of the supportt rs
of Hawkins have no property to confscate
by enormous taxation The people of Ten
nessee cannot be dragooned into submission
TO the sixty-and-six bill for the very reason
given by Senator Jackson, one of the leaders
of the boilers, who says they are unalterably
opposed to it on principle and the methods
by which it was foisied upon them. When
the last State Legislature was defeated in its
efforts to fasten upon the people the one
hundred-and-three iniquity, it should have
referred the whole question back to
the people. The impression was gen.
eral throughout the State that there
was much crookedness in the Legis-
laiure, and as . consequences it could
have made no settlement that would have
inspired the confidence and the support of
the people, without which every settlement
made will share the fate OF the funding bill.
The sixty-and-six bill was hurried through
the Legislature by Butler for the purpose of
accomplishing the very result that has fol-
owed-a division of the Democratic party
or the sole purpose Of re-electing Extra |
session Hawkins. II was passed ONLY few |
aorsths before the canvass for the election of |
mother Legislature, and il had the appear
nee OF forestalling the action of the people
nd forcing it down their throats. The
ettlement which the Republicans and
he boIters unite to fasten upon an unwilI-
ne people is a wrong and outrage
md win be condemned by an overwhelming
I7SSity. 1t is true, as asserted by Senator
ldt
