tax was doubted even by the Congress tha
enacted it.


Besides being onerous upon the whites
it is exceedingly burdensome upon tbs
| negroes. This class was set free in the
midst of extreme poverty. Many left Their
masters without hats or shoes They had
neither land, nor home, nor horse, nor plow
nor any money with which TO purchase
them. They are nearly all farm hands TO-
day. A very large proportion of the cot
ton which is being raised is worked by them
on shares. The cotton tax-the delays il
entails and the amount it calls for-is to
them serious deprivation. The compli-
cations of its collection puzzle their dull
comprehension they connot learn to un-
derstand the relations Of so many formali-
ties and details.


But the North, too, has deep interest
in the repeal of this tax. Say that two
millions Of bales of cotton, averaging four
hundred pounds each, are produced this
year. The tax on that amount of produc-
ton, at two and half cents per pound,
will give an income of twenty millions of
dollars. This large sum, preserved to the
South would not remain there The ne4
cessities of the people RonId require its
immediate investment. But as the com.
modities needed are neither grofn nor
manufactured in the unreconstructed States,
the Northern trade centres would be the
benefciaries, in the first instance; and
these, again, would distribute the money
through all the arteries of trade. The busi-
ness based upon and growing out of these
transactions would necessitate the payment
of large amounts of taxes-national, State,
city and county-extending over a vast
area of country. This impulse given to
commerce would be healthful, natural and
lasting In the end the sum total of na-
tional prosperity induced by this process
can easily be believed TO be far greater
than could possibly arise from a continued
imposition of the cotton tax.

ITs OCCUPATION GoNE.-Under this caption
the Sacramento Daily Record, wide-a~ axe
Union paper, makes the following truthful
and pungent remarks:


All the heretofore Union papers of the
State now support the Union ticket, except
the Bulletin, Union and Bee. The Union
has ceased to exercise its usual habit of man
ufacturins public opinion by selections Of the
most malignant items from the interior pa
pers. because the interior papers are loyal,
aud it is now forced to depend upon extracts
from the loyal Examiner, the patriotic Bule-
tin and the honest Call, or upon some sore
headed correspondent in Jackass Gu!ch or
Groundhog's Glory. BY its silence on the
subject it confesSes that the efforts to compose
a new party from disappointed Office seekers
has been a weak and twaddling failure
Once great and powerful, because its pulses
beat in unison with the loyal heart of the
country, its present insane drivel between
supporting lpvalty and treason but excite the
ridiculc of the country press. For thou art
neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm, and be
cause thou art lukewarm | will spew thee

Taking the advantage of this, the parties

A PouGHKEEPsIE dispatch to the
New. York Herald says that on Wednes
day some fifteen or twenty scholars of
District School No. l, at Pine Plains, in
that county, came very near losing their
lives, in consequences of the school room
becoming filled with gas, which escaped
from the coal stove and pipe. The
teacher, Miss WILDER, discovered the sit
uation just in time, and by her exertions
the children were, as quickly as possible,
dragged out into the air. When left alone
they reeled about like drunken persons,
many of them dropping upon the
ground in a state of insensibility, ut
terly unable to help themselves.
During the exercises of the school, Miss
Wilber noticed that the children looked
a little strange, but was not aware of the
cause until she arose to dismiss the
school for recess. She was also some
what under the influence of the gas, but
still had presence of mind enough to save
the children in preference to attending
to her own perilous condition. On ex-
amining the stovepipe it was found CON-
pletely filled with hard crusted SCOT. At
the present time all of the children are
doing comparatively well, though many
of them still complain of strange feel
ing in the head. Two of the children
were insensible for half an hour after

Years ago when Punch was witty as
we'll as wise, it had a condensed farce
detailing the experience of crusty old
gentleman in having his hair dressed,
which was supremely laughable. The
barber opened the conversation by stat
ing that he knew not where the previous
cutting of the old gentleman's hair had
! taken place, but he could honestly aver
that it was badly done. To this the old
gentleman crustily responded that his
hair had been cut there in that very shop.
The barber then remembered that
about that time they had raw country
youth employed, who nearly ruined the
shops business. The old gentleman
then, recollected that no raw country
youth had operated OH his head, but that
his hair had been cut by the very barber
who was then talking to him. Silence
ensued. The barber next discovered
that his customers hair was very thin
and dry, and stated sour Renovating
Rejnvinator moistens it," The custo-
mer rejoined that he preferred his hair
dry and thin. The barber then stated
that hair dry and thin soon fell out, and
badness ensued. To this the customer re-

ed silence to ensue. The hairdressing

day came round. The carpenter, B.. err
dered pair of boots, with the usual pro-
mise from A, that they would be done

received another good promise. The next.
aud repeated visits brought q repetition,
of the promise, but no boots. Finally,
one day the carpenter happened in at the.
court room just as the unreliable shosma
er was being sworn as witness in some,
case. The magistrate had barely pro-
nouuced the words, "you solemnly swear
that you will tell the truth, the whole
truth aud nothing but the truth, go help

One Step More.
What though before me it is dark,
Too dark for me to see

'Tis quite enough for me.
Each little humble step take,
ThegIoom clears from the next;
So though tbs very dark beyond,
never am perplexed.
And if sometimes the mist hangs close,
So close fear to stray,
Patient wait a little while,
And soon itclears away.
Iwould not see my further path,
Fer mercy walls itso;

Did the future know.
1t may be that my path is rough,

And, knowidg this my strength might fail,
Through fear and terror deep.

A smooth and fowery way;
But seeing this might desplse
The journey of to-day.
Perhaps my path is very short,
Ny journey nearly done,
And l might tremblc at the thought
OF ending it so soon.
Or, ifI saw a weary length
Of road that must wend,
Painting, I'd think, ''AIy feeble powers
Will fail me ere the end"
And SO do not wish to see
My journey or its length;
Assured that, through my Fashar's love,
Each step will bring its strength.

Not looking far before,
Trusting that shall always have
Light for just zone step more"
