An Agricultural Fair.
We understand that the Agricultural
Society of Richmond county has deter.
_ mined to hold a Fair in this City at an
early day. A Committee has been apl
pointed to obtain subscriptions for a
fund to purchase premiums, and it is to
.be hoped that they will meet with all
the success which the project deserves.
We feel no little in interest in this in
stitution. We were the first paper to
suggest its organization, and we have
persistently urged our people to sustain
it. In pursuance of this interest, we
must express our gratification at the
success of the enterprise, and hope that
the citizens ot Augusta and the people
of Richmond county will extend the
proposed Fair all the aid in their
power.
TAXATION.
If any one had suggested, five years
ago, that the American people would
have submitted to the taxation now
required to sustain the Government,, he
would Lave been regarded a fit subject
for a lunatic asylum. The New York
Times makes an interesting compari
son between the revenues of Great
Britain and the United States, from
which it appears that the revenue of
that country, iu 1866, was, from all
sources, $339,060,000, while ours
were $058,030,000, besides loans. Mr.
Welles estimates that our income the
current year will be* $455,000 000, or
SIIS,UOO t OOO more than that of the
richest nation on earth. Our tariff
income was $179,045,000; that of
Great Britain, $106,389,000. From
internal revenues, we derived last year
$310,906,984; while that of Great
Britain was $195,440,000. Onr in
come tax yielded $60,894,135, while a
similar tax wonld yield, it is estimated,
$80,000,000 in Great Britain. The
average taxation, per capita, is $11.46
in gold, and supposing onr population
to bs 35,000,000, and our property to
have increased since 1860 the same as
though there had been no war, the
rates woald have been 3.93 per cent.
The ratio in Great Britain was 0.9 per
cent.; so that their income, from taxes
as heavy as ours, would have been over
$1,000,000,000, instead of $339,000,000.
Great Britain derived, in 1865, 27.6
per cent, of her tax from liquors and
tobacco, while we derive from those
sources only 5.56 per cent. In army
and navy expenditures alone, are we
below our British cousins. From over
$1,000,000,000 in 1864-5, we have ro
omed onr •military establishment to an
expense of $72,000,000 this year, which
is not far from the present British rate
of outlay : while our navy has come
down from $122,000,000 to an estimated
expense of $31,000,000, while that of
Great Britain is twice as large.
Thus have we, at one giant stride,
plunged from the plain republican econ
. omy of our fathers, into a lavish ex
travagance far greater than that of the
first monarchy on earth. It remains to
be seen how long free institutions will
bear this unprsdecented and unneces
sary strain.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
The census of Atlanta has jnst been
taken, from which it appears that the
population of the city is 20,228. Os
these 5,996 are white males over twelve
years of age; 5,444 females over 12;
4,208 colored males over 12 ; 5,080
colored females over 12. It seems that
they have no population under 12
years in Atlanta. Fast place I
—Haven A Brown, news dealers'
Macon, have declined selling “Hooper's
Weekly Journal of Civilization’'—so
called—on account of its disorganizing
and ißsaltiug character.
The Columbus Enquirer says the
warehouse lately burned in that city
caught in the upper story, where no
person but one of the firm had been for
hours. The warehouse had been re
cently built, and belonged to J. J.
Grant, George P. Swift, General N. D.
Gnerry, John Buchanan, and S. H.
Hill. The cotton belonged to various
parties, and but little of it was insured.
Judge M. J. Crawford lost 51 bales ;
Mr. Wm. F. Luckie some 50, and Mr.
Stone 65 bales; Hon. J. M. Russell 7
bales ; Mr. Randall Jones 70 (insured),
and numbers ot others considerable
amouuta. The total loss was $350,000.
The Savannah News gives an account
of the refusal of the freedmen on Mrs.
Cheeves’ plantation to give op the lands,
*4ordered by the agent of the Freed
men's Bureau. They armed themselves
with clubs and muskets, and the sol
diers, fifty in number, withdrew, and
more-troops were to be sent down.
Maj. W. E. Bird, of Hancock county,
died on the 11th. j
Tto New L_,
A great deal hex been said ty tfce
Radius! prfesa and speakers of she coun
try about the President’s policy of
rwoeoatrucUoa, and it is always called
by them “My Policy" by way of derision
and containpt v Now, Congress bas got
a policy, and we presume that will be
called "Our Policy." ’An! the astute
editor of the New York Herald has got
a policy; and that, we suggest, should
be called “The Policy." And it is
pretty certain, in our opinion, that ihe
Policy will be adopted in a measure at
least. It ii this: The President is to be
impeached before the next Congress
found guilty of—something—it doesn't
matter much what—and dismissed from
office. Wade, Feeeendeu, or ,
is to be appointed in his stead and a
new election ordered, at which Grant
and Farragut are to be the successful
candidates. Ip the meantime, the
States now in the Union (of course the
Southern States are not in that enviable
position ; the fact is, we scarcely know
what or where they are geographically
and politically ;) are to ratify the Con
stituticnal Amendment, and the Su
preme Court is to be remodelled “to suit
circumstances." The Accidental Presi
dent is then to proclaim the Con
stitutional Amendment as a part of
the Constitution, and to apply it to the
Southern Stares, which can then be
admitted to representation, either upon
the basis of Negro Suffrage, or the white
basis, which will reduce the number of
representatives to Congress from these
States. This is the Policy, and we
believe that it will be carried ont, if not
in full, at least to a considerable extent.
So far as it concerns this section of the
Union we do not see that it will do us
any particular injury. These States are
conquered provinces, and we mast sub
mit to the will of the conqueror with the
best grace possible; and besides that,
this policy will relieve our people from
imposing a humiliating condition upon
themselves. But it is so much in con
flict with every principle of the Constitu
tion, of right and of justice, that we can
do no less thau protest against its adop
tion, even though that protest be worth
less than the paper upon which it is
written.
To impeach and dismiss the President
of the United States for no other reason
than because he has performed a high
and holy duty imposed upon him by the
Constitution of his country, which he
has sworn to support and obey, is to
fasten a blot upon the escutcheon of
that country, and to tarnish its fair fame
forever. And yet we believe that the
deed will be done. The Herald, says,
in substance, that the revolution is not
yet ended, and that the principles con
tended for by the conquerors must be
irrevocably fixed before it does stop.
The President stands in the way of these
principles, and he must be removed.
The policy of Congress and the policy
of the Herald are almost identical.
They must be • carried out. And the
South can only submit.
The White House.—A correspond
ent of the New York Times, gives a
detailed description of the repairs re
cently made on the Executive Mansion,
whose dilapidation has long been a
source of just mortification to Americans
who were familiar with it. Every room
in the house has been cleaned, uphol
stered, and thoroughly repaired—the
“Green,” “Red,” "Blue,” and "East"
rooms retaining their old characteristics
under the renovating touch of Mr. W.
L. Mitchell, under whose charge the
improvements have been effected. Or
ders hare been sent to Europe for lace
curtains for the windows of the lower
story, which are so high that none could
be found in this country long enough.
These having to be made by hand are
not yet done, but will soon be forwarded
They are to cost from $2,000 to $5,000
each.

the oause of the widows,” and who hath

ny’s tracks within tho corpoiate limits of
said City of Augusta; to require tho tracks
of said Augusta and Summerville Railroad
Company to boos the uniform guago of
other Railroadslin Georgia, runmog into the
City of Augusta, so that the cars of the one
may run upon tho tracks of the other, in
order that the breaking of bulk in the trans
fer of freights from one point to another

passengers, thereby encouraging travel and
commerce. If satisfactory arrangements

gusta.

olina Railroad Company of the second

South Carolina Ruilroad, is hereby repealed
and declared null and void, and a connec
tion of tracks by the Augusta and Summer
ville Railroad Company, with that Road,
as well as with the other Railroads entering
he City of Augusta, is hereby authorised
by the City Council of Augusta, upon prop—
or consent being secured by the Augusta
and Summerville Railroad Company, from
the companies owning said Railroads, for
the making of such connections, provided
that nothing herein contained shall bo so
construed as to give the South Carolina

nection with any other Railroad except the

pany.
