War Taxes.

The Charleston NeloS and Courier in
dulges itself in the following statement:
"The people must be robbed by the
tariff TO the last farthing, though every
other form OF war tax has been abolished
or heavily reduced"
And adds that the Richmond Dispatch
concurs in this robbery call on account Of
tobacco"
We need not dispute the last statement.
But we must correct the first. The real
war-taxes are the taxes upon tobacco, &c.
The resI war-taxes are the internal taxes.
There were no internal taxes when the late
war between the States began, and there
had not been any for fifty years. All the
revenues OF the Government were and had
been all that time collected by means Of a
tariff, excepting OF course small amount
received for public lands sold, &C., &c.
We must be excused for quoting to our
Charleston contemporary the averment of
q Petersburg contemporary that ii Is a
travesty on democracy when there are two
systems OF taxation, one Of which has al
ways been in force and the other used only in
emergencies, 10 declare that the unusual tax
must stand while the other is being tinkered.
But il is still worse to say or to intimate
that the tariff was the result OF the neces-
sites OF Government engaged in a great
war, when the well-known fact is that It Is
the internal taxes that were not known TO
the country at all before the war.
Every other form Of war tax" quoth
our Charleston contemporary. That word
"other" is good. II tells the Charlesto-
mans Enthusiastically that the tariff is war
tax. Wonder II they will credit the state
ments II there are any people in the
United States who ought to know that the
tarifwas 10 full force as long ago as the
days OF ANDREW JAcKsoS's presidency OF
the United States, the people of South
Carolina are the ones. So we will leave
our contemporary TO explain TO them Just
what II means by the phrase "every other
form OF war tax" We close with few
words from the Petersburg Index-A ppeai:
" II there Is anything the Democratic
party never did endorse II Is the kind OF
taxation now covered by collections
through the Infernal-Reycnue Bureau.
Parties might quarrel and bubble over
rates upon imports-this or that method OF
eyyiBg import taxes-but until this year

Eastern Virginia. There are vast areas OF

Eastern Virginia that might be made to

Sheep flourish most astonishingly on these

which these poor lands may be made moi

LYNCHBURG, March 27.-The NepS to-

from miners and officials at Pocahontas Of
the many reports alleged TO have been tele-

The details Of the alleged kilograms are
pronounced untrue, the only basis for
the sensational story being that a quiet

appointed. the result OF which was
that the superintendent opinion as
to the impossibility OF recovering the
bodies was received with due respect and
without excitement. The meeting adjourn
ed as quietly as it had assembled, and was
not attended by single woman; no prayer
was offered, and, in short, the accounts Of
which complaint is made are pronounced
to be greatly exaggerated.

TIE DREAM CAME TRUE.
Daniel Carney's Alarm About His Brother
Who Jumped Overheard.

VINO ONtGDOdIu'
New York HeraldI
Daniel Carney, of No. Az Hudson
street, jersey city, told Captain Allaire,
at police headquarters, last night. that he
received information recently that led him
ia believe that his brother Patrick Carney,
who left this port three weeks ago. had
been thrown from the vessel he sailed in
while the ship was in the NarrOws, and
was drowned. A cousin who accompanied
Daniel Carney told the Captain that he had
n dream in which he saw Patrick strug-
cling in the water. This dream caused
the two men to make an Investigation.
They visited the clearinghouse OF James
Calvin, in Cherry street, near Catherine
street. where Patrick Carney recently
boarded. They also called upon the ship
ming master. the pilot OF the steamer, and
others. and in each case they said they were
put off or given evasive answers.
A Herald reporter called at the board
ing-house, in Cherry street, last night, and
was told by Mr.. Calvin, the proprietor,
that Patrick Carney, who is twenty-three
wears old, was shipped on the brig Ruby,
tat sailed from BayOnne. n. D., three
weeks ago for Antwerp. Carney, Calvin
said, managed 10 smugSle some whlskey
aboard the brig, and after helping himself
pretty freely gave the rest to some COM
panions. As consequence the men be-
came unruly and had to be placed IN irons
while the vessel was passing through the
Narrows. As Carney was not so drunk rs
the other men who were confined, and the
captain being in want OF help, he ordered
Carney's release. As soon rs the latter
reached the deck he attempted to iIlmr
overheard, but was restrained. Shortly
afterward, however, Carney found an OPP
portunity, and leaped into the sea. The
vessel was stopped and put about, but nc
trace of the man could be found. The
pilot, Joe Nelson, who accompanied the
brig to sea, on his return notified the agent
who shipped Carney Of the s1ilOr's death
