AN EVIL THAT SHOULD BE CHECKED.
One of the moat remarkable and dis-
cdui aging signs of the times is the excessive
micbaritableness, not to say vindictiveness,
still manifested by a large class of Northern
editors and their Soathern correspondents
toward the people ot the Sonth. We allude,
ot course, to the numerous scriblers for
Xoithern journals, many of whom are en
gaged in business avocations in the South,

THE COTTON TAX.
The Congress, disregarding the remon
strances of the leading commercial men in
both sections of the Union, lias imposed a
tax ol two cents per pound upon all cotton
hereafter exported trom the United States.
Tiii- body which is urging and insisting upon
constitutional restrictions in regard to the
Southern while people, profess that much nl
what it demands is done in behalf of the
Southe rn blueks. But did they stop to think
that the hired negro laborer will feel the ef
fects of this tax as sensibly as his white em
ployer ? By as much as the employers pro
had reduced poor while men to an interior
position, (which we deny,) and deprived
them of the incentives to honorable ambi
tion, it would be their misfortune, not their
i iult. There have, however, been many ex
amples among them, not unknown to fame,
"f genius struggling against all the disad
vantages of posiiion, and rising to eminence
in many departments of enterprise.
Nor, are they as a class, more numerous
than in many parts of the North and West; or
as ignorant of political affairs, as those sta

This is one side of the picture. The other
side is thus presented by the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. It says: “The advan
tage “of our intercourse with Europe has
been that we have been able to im
port from Ibenco certain articles more
chenply than we could produce them
ourselves, paying for them with products
of our own which we can produce more
cheaply than Europeans.” Tnetn Co-
mercial thinks that of the 1,250,000 men
now in arms, a half million have been taken
from productive employments, and that as
the war progresses, the commercial centres
of Germany, and the high-roads of trade
will be closed, and tiiat there must be a
stoppage of the production of themerchandize
which is usually transported there. The

•As the goods that Europe may send here

bring; but tbat will be only the first brief
spasm, lo he followed by a long period of
scarcity and high prices for all' that Europe
produces, as in the case of onr own country
during the rebellion. All we mignt subse-

An Irish friend has laid on our table a copy
of the first number ot a handsome weekly
sheet with the above title, published in New

is heartily devoted to the interests of Ireland
aud the Irish. Il takes sides with the Ste
phens' wing of the Fenian Brotherhood, de
nounces the “Canadian folly,” vindicates
President Johnson from the assaults of the

ground that the prisoners were convicted by

General Sickles:

Mb. Editor—Sir: I notice in your issue of
this morning a paragraph in relation to the
arrest of Mr. Justico Staley, accusing me of
using undue force aud exceeding niy duty in
making the arrest.
The facts simply are that I was ordered by
the Commandant of the Post to take a Ser
geant and a file of guards to Justice Staley's
office, and present a note requesting his ap
pearance at headquarters, and if he did not
come promptly, to bring him without cere
mony. I did as directed, and waited lully
twenty minutes for him, when, seeing that
he was determined to delay longer, I ordered
my guard to fall in, and told him that he
must comq. The Sergeant of the guard
(through mistake) ordered his men to load,
which order I immediately countermanded,
and directed the Sergeant to remain with
his guard at a respectable distance in rear,
while I walked along with Justice Staley my
self.
It may have been painful to the Justice’s
feelings to be compelled to appear on the
street with a “United States soldier.” I
deeply sympathize with him, but the next
time I am afraid I shall have to be less deli
cate, as courtesy seems to be thrown away
upon him.
Of course, my first duty as a soldier is to
obey orders, which I always try to do to the
letter without being offensive. The com
manding officer, upon my reporting to him
(through the Adjutant), was perfectly satis
fied with my action, and as for him inform
ing the Justice that I was not ordered to
arrest him, I can only say thot l Micve your
informant wilfully misrepresented the case to
you. In self-defence,,. ■ ;

Seizure or Goods Smuggled.—We learn
that quite a large quantity of ,wina, smuggled
into Florida aud shipped to bavannab, was

“The Memphis police arc busy examining

was put in irons and sent to jail, wluya he
was released by his companions in force, who
