COD. Sit AFTER’S TESTIMONY.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Col. Shafter, commanding the Nue
ces District in Texas, was examined
before the sub-committee ou military
utfiurs to-day. His testimony related
nearly altogether to matters that have
heretofore been published witli regard
to raids by Indians upon Texan soil.
The Colonel stated that tlie Mexicans
hud returned very little of the proper
ty stolen by tlie raiding parties from
American citizens. With regard to
the number of our troops on the bor
der, tlie Colonel thinks that they are
sufficient for all purposes so long as
the Mexicans are willing to give sup
port to our efforts to preserve or rather
than take the responsibility of pro
ducing hostilities while in pursuit of
raiding parties if uny organized ]>arty
resisted. Col. Shafter thought lie
would let an unimportant stealing
party go. The testimony was gener
ally "to the effect that the difficulties
are altogether caused by thieving In
dians whose outrages are condemned
by respectable citizens of Mexico.

U. S. SUPREME COURT.
Important Charleston Tax Caiei-t'an
Cities Tax Non-Resident Boadholders
ou Their Own Bonds?
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
TO RESUME.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Washington, January 0.—The
United States Supreme Court will re
sume its sessions to-morrow, pursuant
to tlie holiday adjournment, and will
announce a number of decisions. Tlie
Credit Mobilier case will he re-argued
before a full bench at some early date,
to he agreed iqKm by tlie opposing
counsel. At tlie hearing last winter
the Union Pacific Company was
represented by Hon. Win. M. Kvurts
and Sidney Rnrtlctt, and tlie United
States by the then Attorney General.
Tlie court, in view of the great im
portance of tlie Charleston city tax
cases, and of the fact that tile bench
was not full when they were uigued
about a month ago, lias ordered them
to bo re-argued early next month.
Tlie question brought before the
court by these eases is, whether a city
or other municipal corporation under
a State law can impose a tax iiihiii its
own obligations in tlie bunds of non
residents. Tlie city of Charleston
levied a lux of two per cent, iijmiii its
six per cent, stock, and directed its
treasurer to withhold the amount, of
tax from tlie interest due. Messrs.
Murray and Jenkins, one a resident
of Germany and the other of Mary
land, brought suit in the State courts
to recover tlie amounts thus with
held from them, and a mujority of
the South Carolina Supreme Court
sustained tlie validity of the city’s ac
tion. This decision was appealed to
the United States Supreme Court oil
the ground tliut the law. imposing
such taxation was nil act imposing
tlie obligation of a contract, Rim
therefore a violation of tlie Federal
Constitution. The eases attract great
attention in tlimneial and business
circles, as it is perceived tliut- the ac
knowledgement by the Supreme
Court of "the jxiwer thus claimed to
treat municipal debts due to non-res
idents as property liable to local taxa
tion may lead, in many instances, to
their being taxed out of existence, or,
in other words, to repudiation under
tlie form of taxation.
In a somewhat similar case, name
ly, tliut of tlie Cleveland and Ashtn-
bular Railroad vs. tlie State of Penn
sylvania, loth Wallace,'310, five of
the nine members of tlie Supreme
Court held that the State could not
tax non-resident holders of railroad
bonds, hut tlie result of the pending
eases is considered extremely doubt
ful.

at the outset we desire to refute. It
will be said that the Immense increase
in the production of cotton is the
consequence of emancipating black
labor. The truth is, that emancipa
tion would have utterly destroyed the
cotton interest, had not the field of
cotton production been extended
northward and westward far beyond
the localities where black labor con
gregates.
Tlie facts as regards Texas, stated
by the Herald, indicate the true rea
sons why the production of cotton
has grown so rapid since 1870. It is
from that date that the Southern
States, oneafter another, have thrown
oil* the Republican yoke, haveassum-
cd economical Democratic Govern
ments, have crushed out corruption
and political oppression, and have
given that law and order which in
vite white immigration and encour
age systematic industry.

THE WeOViHIANA ERA I D,

Board Managed II.
Original text of Chandler's letter.]
In Louisiana, however, there had
been thrown into the ballot-boxes over
7,000 more votes for the Tildcn than
for tin* Hayes electors; and to muke
Hayes President it became necessary
for the returning board, ucting under
peculiar local laws, to throw out more
than 7.000 Tildcn votes on account of
alleged murder, riot and intimidation
preventing a fair and free election
in certain parishes. To perform this
extraordinary, even it justifiable
work, in the face of an armed and in
furiated Democracy, required men of
undaunted courage; and such courage
tlie returning board possessed. It re
quired, also, that the board should
have assurance tliat the national
exigency demanded its performance;
that the moral sentiment oftlie North
would approve It, and that they them-
elves should he protected from evil
onsequences to be apprehended from
the violence of a mob government,
which it was known would he estab
lished by one Nieholls, a pretender to
the ntltee of Governor, against. Hteph-
n B. Packard, who was sure to he
found elected Governor If the Hayes
electors should he found to have been
boson.
All these assurances were freely and
forcibly given by Senator Sherman
and his associates. Mr. Stanley

the sentiments therein expressed.
Fncouraged and forced forward
by these assurances, the returning
board boldly performed its duty,
gave voice to the murdered Republi
cans of the bulldozed parishes of
Louisiana, and made Hayes President
and Packard Governor of Louisiana,
by titles indissolubly connected iu the
law, in morals and by every rule of*
honor that prevails among civilized
men. The same tender regard for the
Louisiana Republicans, and for the
result which they had achieved, con
tinued during the ensuing struggle in
Congress. The returning hoard were
arrested and eon tilled at Washington
by the Confederate House of Repre
sentatives. Sick and in orison, they
were visited by Senator Sliermun and
his associates, and urged to stand
firm until relief should come from the
advent to power of the President
whom they had made. Before the
Electoral Commission, to maintain
and vindicate their work, Governor
Hayes personally continued tlie em
ployment of Messrs. Matthews and
Shcllaburgcr, while Senator Sherman,
from Ihh place iu the Semite, on Dec.
14, threatened negro insurrections un
less Huyes should he counted in and
the'poor colored men’ placed under
his devoted cure.”

In our style of climate, with its sud

wind and sunshine often Intermingled
in a slnglo day—it is no wonder tliat
our children,'friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
Bose hen's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will pre
vent serious siekness, a large doetor’s
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doseR. For ewring Con

Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease

In the lust eight years, says the
Hr raid, free labor lias, therefore,
overtaken the palmiest days of
slavery und has produced two and
lliree-quarter million bales more cot
ton. Tills crop is now more free
from the encumbrance of debt than
ever before, and with it 1ms been
raised a supply of food greater than
slavery ever compassed.
Without entering into minute
statistics il is safe to say that the
money value of the thirty-one and a
half million bales of cotton produced
in the last eight years has been over
two thousand million dollars in gold,
and Hint over two-thirds of this value
has been exported.
Texas, which seems to lie the true
land of the cotton funner, has made
the greatest relative progress, now
producing double the crop of cotton
tliut she made before the war. Du
ring tlie last cotton year, on less than
half of one per cent, of her area, or
oil less tlinn half nn acre iu a hun
dred, she produced a quantity of cot
ton equal to one-half the entire con
sumption oftlie United States.
In giving us these comparative
statements the Herald might have
called attention to the fact tliat the
period of greatest depression in cotton
»lonists have,after all, production was tliut when the State
governments organized by Congress
ional action under the reconstruction
measures, were in the hands of the
negroes and their white allies.
There is one deduction which will
be drawn from this statement by tbe
Republican party of the North which
