The BAILY PKBSS I* tin the Official Paper es the City of A*fatla ( bavin* been elected by the City Connell as their Official OlfMb 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.
