COLUMBUS:
Saturday Morning, Tcc. 30. 18G5.
Tbc Proposed lax on t’oitoii* ^
It wm the Comptroller t»f th6 Treasury,
instead of tho Secretary, who recommen
ded the imposition of a heavy lax on
cotton. His recommendation was to tax
cotton, tobacco and liquors, and ho esti
mated that the next year’s crop of cotton
would bo two and a half or three million-
of biles, the duty on which, nt ten cents
prr pound, would amount to $126 OOD 000’•
and if the crop should hem f • r reach four
and a half millions of hales, the tax might
be reduced to eight cent* p**r poutid. and
still bring in a revenue of 1>00.000.
Wo are n< t sure (f"r wm have not the
report before us) whether the Comptroller
propos d a direct lex or an export tax. In
cither case, it looms to ih, the t* r opo»ition
is met by a coiisti'Utiooa 1 d tliiulty. It
direct, it ii oppose ' to th.»t pnarisi >t» of
the constitution which req ii r **» that "r**p-
resentalivet and direct taxes shall be
apportioned among the several States
according to their respective numbers
(Federal); and to another clause which
provide* that **n» capitation, or other
direct lax, shall bo lai«l,^unle*a in » ropor
lion to the census or enume-Mtion hen in
before directed to bo taken." It could
hardly be maintained hy the m*'»i subtil'

EkFKCTS OF EARLY RlSINQ Oil Low-
ukvtty.—The Southern Journal says:
We have seen the story, but cannot
vouch for the truth of it, that while a cen
sus was being taken in Germany, tome
years sinco, the habits of every centena
rian were carefully inquired into. Some
of the veterans, it was found, had been
consistent vegetarians; others had indulged
* in meats; some had, and others had not,
u-f<1 tobacco and spirits, but all bad been
••tirlv lirers. As we have said, wo do not
know whether tho census above mentioned
was u reality or a myth, but we have no
ticed in all the accounts of very aged poo-
plo which have fallen under our notice
that their subjects rose early. James Mc
Cormick, a native of Ireland, who died
on the 11th of November, at Newburg,
New York, aged 114 years and three
months, was no exception to the rule. He
often wont to work before daybreak.—
When young he was a-groat wafker, hav-
! ing once traveled on foot a distance of
j fifty-two rniloa in thirteen hours. He
married at tho ago of forty-five, and kind
fourteen children, nine of whom lived to
omigrato with him to this country in 1840.

clearly an invidious him! di-prop* rdonatc i
one, and as such repugnant t»» tho clansg- i
of tho constitution above quoted. And il
an export lax is proposed, that too is in
plain opposition to the consiffution, sec |
lion 9 of article 1 declaring that "no tax |
or duty shall be laid on articles exported
from any State." Hut it so. nn that the
radicals in Congress, in view of this con
stiiutionsl prohibition, have introduced n
proposition to amend the constitution so
ns la allow export duties, and they may
securo the assent of three-fourths of the
Elates to it, by either excluding the votis
of tho Slates that wiil have to pny tho tax,
or forcing them to assent to it a- a condi
tion precedent to the restoration ol their
political right* (ao-ealled) in the Union.
One gicut ol j' ft that tho radicals who
advocate the lax in the rhape of an ex poll
duty have in view, is to aflurd further
protection to New England mantilaclu
rrrs. If the lax is a direct one and ia
levied on tho cotton while it remains in
this country, the Northern manufacturer
will have no advantage, in the purchase
cf it, over thb foreigner. But an export
duty would givo the Northern manufac
turer an advantage ol ten cents per poun 1!
IVriiap.- this would be an additional pro
lection to the extent of l<>riy or sixty per
cent.; perhaps it w»u il operate to the
enliro exclusion of European purchasers
of cotton from this country, and give the
home manufacturer* the monopoly of tho
crop and the power to reduce it* price just
as low us they choso. Certain il is that
this lax, added to the heavy import duties
i) w imposed upon foreign fabrics, would
effectually exclude all European cotton
goods from the United Siatos and givo the
homo manufacturer an undisturlu d mo
nopoly of the market. And “this ac
counts for the milk in the cocoanul."
This proposition to tax cotton so heavily
should be another argument to our plan-
tors against a large crap. J he smaller
the general crop, the higher will bo the
price per pound realiz 'd for it, an*d the
better can tl.e producer pay the tax. A
crop of 2,600,(00 hales, ai 26 cents per
pound, would sell for $31" 600 000, and
with a lux u|Vn it of ten c« nt.- per pound,
the government dutv would be forty per
cent. A crop of 1.0J0 000 of bales, at 16
cents per pout'd, would ‘Hi f..r only
$300UU0.000, and the government tax at
eight cents per pound would be ovei filly
per cunt, of the amount.
Tho true policy of the South, in this
change of her condition, is,
heretofore endeavored t-> show, to div
sify her labor so hr to nu.ke b ss cotton

was ini order publi»h«’d against *tragglinT

ever done to maintain discipline. The
