JOHN II. MARTIN 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."

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. It 1 GROCERIESjNEW GOODS CONSIGNMENT, -xt- ON No. 125 Broad Street.

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 and more of the commodities hitherto in part bought by this section—to divert a large portion of the capital and labor used In the culture of cotton to r» mar ufacture, and thus lensen the crop nihJ mexaso the profits. prompt l.v ground, and bin it him with tin ir bay on Philip Malone fortuna'e v c mg the position of alboi*. drew a pistol, not with the doing the soldier* any harm, but b*r tho purpose of preventing them from 'injuring Mr. Uevnohl*.
