A Washington dispatch of the 7th

"l at the capital, that Mr. Welles, the
Revenue Commissioner, who has inves
■’gated the present system of taxation,
" ill propose considerable reduction in
■He tariff and also in the internal taxes. 1
P is well known that the revenue from
t! eae sjurccs greatly exceeds the amount |
ercgjry aDy economical adminisira- j
i nos the Government. Including the 1
■ ’er«st on the matured debt, and an
““pin sum for a sinking fund, it is esti- !
l ‘*d 'hat the revenue for the present

Djsath or A Bisdop.— Right Rev. 1
'? A. Rutledge, BUbop of Florida,!
lied in Tallahassee on the 6th of No- i
ember, in the sixty year of his !
<ge and the forty-fourth year of his
nietetry. We believe his death was
•missioned by a cancer in the mouth, j
He was a native of South Carolina,'
and the earlier years of his ministry
were spent in that State. He was ed
ucated at Yale College, flis father
was the venerable Chancellor Rut
ledge?
One of the methods r«sorted to by
the Radicals of Joliet, Jll., to show
their delight at the result of the recent
election in that State, was burning the
C.institution of the United States,
which was done in the open streets,
amid the most vociferous cheering from
tiie croud of partisans assembled.—
This shows where the teachings of
Summer uDd Stevens are leading the
people.
A dispatch from Washington says : 1
It is reported that Hon. Thad. Ste- j
vens has a plan in regard to the Pres- 1
•dent which will be a little less abi ur t'
than direct impeachment, without pre
vious investigation, and which would
preclude the possibility of instituting
proceedings which, upon trial of the
* case, might fail. His plan is said to
appoint a joint committee at the open- \
ing of the coming session, exactly as 1
the Joint Committee on Reconstruc
tion was appointed, whose duty it
shall be to fully investigate the course
and conduct of Mr« John on, and re
port to the two Houses what action, if
any, is demanded of Congress by the
facts elicited.
The New Orleans Times says that

A census of Mississippi, taken this
year, shows that the total population of
that state is now 65,000 lest than it
was in 1860. A census being taken in
Alabama shows a proportionate decrease
in all the counties in that state where
'he wot k has been completed. In other
Southern Btat< s, the w t o enumera
-I'iog the population is in progress, uuder
state authority, and it is believed that i
| the results will show a similar depopu- J
j Ltioo throughout the South.
The most important fact wbioh is re-1
rested by the census in Mississippi and
I Al*hmils is the great snd rspid decrease |
of the blaok population The decrease ;
of white population in xix years has j
been, in the state of Mississippi, 8,000. j
The doer* use of the black population in :
Mi-nissipi baa been in the same time,
57,900. In those portions cf Alabama
where the ceyius is completed, the rel
ative and crease -f blacks and whites is
shown to have been ab ut the same.
The blaek population bus decreased in
-ix years at the rates of I'd per cent,
while in the peiiod, under all the de
structive agencies of civil war, the di
cretse of white population Has been in
the neighborhood of 3 per cent. If the
ratio shall be the same throughout the
Sru'b, it will appear that the black pop
ulation in that section has been reduc
ed from4,ooo 000 in 1860, to 3,480,000
iu 1866
These facts, says a cotemporary fore
tell with certainty that is more reliable
<han mere prophecy, what is the inev
itable destiny of the negro race iu this
country.
The Legislature.
j This body, we arc pleased to see, is
| exercising due caution in all their pro
ceedings. We think it behooves us,
as a people, under tbe circumstances,
to move in all, state and Federal, with
! the u'most precaution We are not
surprised at the slow prog re a they make
jin legislation ted the reconsideration
; of so many or their actions.
In the Senate on the 19th, Mr. O. I’
Beall roved to reconsider tbe action of
ths Senate on Saturday in rejecting the
bill to modify the Act creating Connty
Courts. The motion prevailed and the
bill was referred to a special committee
| of five of 'he Senate.
Tbe resolution requesting tbe Gove
nor to lay before tbe next session of
tbe General Asssembly a statement of
thi amount if land owned by tbe Btate,
and what pries the same would bring,
was laid on tbe table sot tbe present.
Tbe bill for tbe relief of the people
of 'He S»«a«. -r **— -ra
cial order of tbe day.
Mr. Grrshatn offered an amendment
to the Stay Law, explanatory of tbe
provisions of the Act. It explains that
the failure of the lebtor to pay the one
fourth required to be paid on tbe Ist
January nex', shall not give tbe credi
tor the right to claim payment of the
whole of the debt. The amendment
was lost.
Mr. O. P. Beall offered an amend
ment providing that the first section of
the Act in force be altered that where
the debtor shall tail to pay as required
by law, his first installment, be shall not
be forced to pay the balance until the
lime and is tbe manner prescrib- and by
law. Tbe amendment also provides
that the first payment shall be made in
January, 1868. The amendment was
carried.
The bill was finally passed, provid
ing that the time for payment of the
first fourth be extended to Ist of Janu
ary, 186$, and tbs remaining install
ments annually there .fier.
.From Washington.
Nkw York, Nov. 19.—The Post’s
Washington special says facts divulged
to-day, show there is little hope the
President will recommend impartial auf
frage in his message.
A special to the Commercial says it
is confidently expected that reconstruc
tion will be amicably settled early the
approaching seasiou. Negotiation for
that purpose is in progress between the
i President and leading politiaians of all
j parties North and South, basis of
settlement to be universal suffrage
and general amnesty. The President
, partially accedes to this proposition, but
! insists upon Constitutional ground*, that
the question of suffrage promptly be
: long* to the State, and is eo far averse
to any action of Congress upon that aub
; ject.
Tbe telegram also states that if as
- can be obtained from Southern
leaders of the speedy adoption of uni
versal suffrage, the Preaidentwill waive
his objections.
Large Reward. —The Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company offer
a reward of SIO,OOO for the arrest and
conviction of the parties who robbed
the passenger and mail tram on the Bth
inst.,near Franklin, Kentucky. Ac
tive measures are on foot to apprehend
tbe perpetrator* es this daring outrage,
and the large reward offered by the
RaiUeed company offer strong induce
ments to increased exertions and vigi
lance, and wo trust that the villains may
be quickly caught and made an exam
pit of that will prevent a rtoarreaee of
*u*h outrage*.
11n Fcaileininry.
It would seem that Gov. Jenkins
does not altogether agree with the
gentleman to whom this matter was
committed, and bis reasoning on the
! subject, we think is very good. We
1 publish that port'on of his special mew
■ sage, bearing directly on this subject.*
I "I am constrained to say, that Ido
I not concur in some of the views pre
sented by th m, though it is not with
out distrust id the correctness of my
own opinion, that I venturo to differ
from gentlemen of such unquestiona
ble übili'y.
First. In the event of the establish
ment of a Penitentiary ut some other
locality, which I think altogetherexpe
rt ent, I do not approve tbe proposition
to abandon tbe present cne altogether.
If this be done, there will doubl'esi be
an almost total sacrifice of the invest
ment in the gr, unds and buildings now
appropriated to that object. For that
purpose, it is very valuab'e property ;
for any other, it would be nearly val
ueless. It should not, at this time, be
regarded as in a dilapidated condition.
At a trifling expense, the only por
tion of the improvements which now
wears the aspect of a ruin, could be
put in thorough repair. If it be retain
ed and used as heretofore, ti e cost of
building anew one elsewhere wi Ibe
very much less ned. Agreeing with
the Commissi.ners in tne opinion that
white ur.d colored convicts should be
kept and employed separate'y, I sug
gest that this object may be more thor
oughly attained by having two State
prisons, at different localities. The
quarry'ng of granite, 1 mestone, and
other inaDriuls, so forcibly recommen
ded in tbe rep rt, might bo advantage
ously done by colored convicts, in a
new locality, whilst, in the present one
other employments might be prosecu
ted.
‘‘Again I must dissent from tbe pro
priety of dispensing altogether with
employment in mechanic arts in this
institution. I yield to no one in ap
preciation ot those arts, or in respect
for those who worthily pursue than
but I do not petceivA that they will be
degraded by having tueir handicraft
taught to, or practiced by, convicts. —
Similar ;y of occupation does not, by
any means, necessitate social inter
course, or imply social equality.
“If mechanical pursuits are degra
ded by the engagement in them of dis
charged convicts, so must any and all
other pursuit*; and tho question then
arises, what are such persons to do ?
Does the rrn«'.,r i-.rjiflnl.r nr muster
mason who employs a discharged con
vict, and who daily superintends and
controls his labor, sink to his level ?
If so, then the planter who may em
ploy him to till his lands or tend bis
flocks and herds, would do likewiso.—
Tbe same reasoning might be applied
to any other branch ol'industry, and
the same policy extended would lead
to no employment during the term of
imprisonment, and uo adaptation to
employment of any kind vhen it shall
have ended. Better far at onse im
prison them for life, or even take away
that life, than so to shape your legis
lation as to discourage their future
engagement in respectable employ
ments.
Fohtcnatb Abkebt.—Ail of tbe gang
(except three) concerned in stopping
and robbing tbe train on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad have been arres
ted and ara bow in durance vile For
tunately not a man of then was ever a
guerilla or ‘‘in the Rebel Army.”
Their crime i» one of the most fiendish
«n record—tho stoppage of a crowded
passenger train by obstiuctions on the
track, iu the dead ot night and when it
was in rspid motion. It is wonderful
that many were not killed.
Charges mi Weighing Cotton
There are complaints in various parts
of this State, of improper charges be
ing made fur weighing Cotton. It
should be generally knows that tbe reg
ulations of the Treasury Department
only allows fifteen cents per b*!e. If
more has been demanded, tbe parties
have a right to demand its return, and
if they refuse, to have them arrested.
If the planter or merchant furnishes
the scales and the bande for weighing
the cotton, they cannot charge anything
legally.
Another Attempt. —On Saturday
night, says the Nashville Press and
Times, about 12 o’clock, an attempt
was made to throw the train coming
to this place on the LoumvPle and
Nashville railroad from the track, by
piling fence rails across the same The
locality was near the place where the
train was thrown off and robbed a few
days ago, a few miles from Franklin,
Kentucky. The persona who contem
plated this repetition of that affair
were evidently not so well vetted in
this business as tbe others, for they
neglected to fa-ten tbe rails down, and
the engine ran through them without
j being thrown off

M>uit LihUvti As the time ap -
proaches fur making contracts with
Freerfm-n and wtmen for tbe in tiing
year, a few suggeeiioue may be of u*e
to both emplo)era and employees Id
quiries have been directed to Agent*
of the Bureau whether contracts could
be eotrre J into at tbit time with Fretd
meo, and these Agents have not only
asserted the validitjpot suob entrants
made before the expiration of pret-eot
engagements, but they have moreover
strongly recommerdtd such aito n as
being greatly conducive to the interest*
es contracting parlies. If all contracts
he deferred till Christ i aa or later, the
necseaary consequence will be that ma
ny lusty and unsatisfactory engage
ments will he formed from a fear of los
ing all good chances by being fmentailed
by others. Scivauts, too, in that case,
having no fixed abode, will be seen
wandering about without shcl er in ms.*
ny instances, and thus they must often
make contracts without adequate monos
for loiking into their merits. It will
therefore be much to tbe int rest of all
ocnccrncd to make contracts note when
they can do so at their leisure ; thus
both white and black persons will be
free from all apprehensions on this
score as to the future. Buck a course,
too, will tend greatly to forestall tba l
enterprising appendix if the Bureau,
nephews and brothers ot Agents, who
are driving a paying business in seduc
:tie Negro from Lis home and kindred

Valley sod oth< r r gions of the West.
Our advice to such of our colored peo
ple a# can read this article, is that they
will conault their interest and happiness
by remaining where they sie What
evidet.ee have they of the tru'h or re
ality of one told or promised? In nine
oases out of ten, they would get a Yan
kee task-maker io tbe West—what that
means, I should think, most of them
have already learned in similar cases
not a huudrod miles Dawson.
I desire io conclusion, to draw (he
attention of the Public to a rule, tLe
general adoption of which wou'd be pro
ductive of the greatest benefit to em
ployer and employee. I allude to tbe
practice es servants presenting a “Writ
ten Character’’ i e. a Testimonial from
their late employers. This is the uni
versal custom io all other countries, and
po-sesses the advantage of furnishing
such information as he needs, and upon
the servant as a stimulus to gain the
good will and approbation of his employ
er; for without such a “Character,” be
cannot rrnenr» —e“s —*•*■*»
ho will at the most, Le forced to con
tent himself with an indifferent one.
I would therefore recomend that em
ployers would enenurage the introduc
tion of this practice by voluntarily iff r
ing a “Cbaractei’’to such of their ser
vants, particularly domestic servauts, as
they may ju lgc to be worthy of a g >od
recommendation. They should at the
same time explain tbcobjest of thi*
Testimonial, aod recommend its careful
preservation. Such a course once gen
erally adopted with domestic servants,
would soon be found to rc-comend itself
to all, and in a few years would become
universal. Care should be taken at the
outset to state tho truth and nothing
but the truth. When we consider what
trouble aod annoyance our poor wives
have gone through du’ing the past year
in being worried by ignorant and imper
tinent servants whose bad qualities
could be ascertained only by taking
them on trial for a whole year,—we
would all grasp at any remedy ior this
one of tne worst results ol emancipation.
It is to be hoped that the papers gen
erally will recommend this matter to the
public. Alpha.
Dawson, Not. 20, 1866.
Ben. F. Butler. —Appleton’s Cyclo
pedia of byngrapby gives the following
account of one of Spooney Butler’s an
cestral relatives : "Butler, John. —The
atrocities committed by this miscreant
during the revolutionary war almost rx
ceed belief. He was a native of Con
necticut, but removrd to the valley of
Wyoming, where,in 1778, at the head
of 1,600 men, of which 30*/ were In
dians, and the rest tories paint'd like
Indians, he attacked tbe towns and vil
lages of that romantie region, and in
discriminately massacred those who sub
mitted as well as these who fought, wo
men and children as well as man. To
tbe question what terms would be grant
ed, he replied ‘the hatchet!’ People of
both sexea and every age were indis
criminately shut up in bouses, which
were then set on fire; some were held
down in the flames by pitchforks, and,
in one instance, at leas', a poor wretch
had bis body a'uck full of pine knot
splinters and then burned, etc.”
The National InteUi</enecr says:
“Tbe Southern people were educa
ted in tbe school ofStatrs right*. They
denied tbe sovereignty of the Govern
ment. They held it to be tbe crea'ure
of the states, and that tbe power which
made eould also unmake. Tb<y, there
fore, subordinated their allegiance to
the Federrl Government to that due
their State and prided themselves mo- e
in being Virginians or Alabamians'ban
e.tix Bsof the United States What
ever others may think, therefore, they
justly scorn the idea of being perjurers.
But laying this consideration aside,
they entered into a revolution for what,
they deemed a jnst cause, or when
begun, supported it as tbe only thoics
' between two evils.”

The thieves were four in number, and
cbose tbe dinner hour tonairy out tb'-ir
bold plan*, wbm ro one was io ti e
