TAX ON COTTON.

The Chamber of Commerce met in
special session yesterday afternoon, fur
the tjjkrpose of uon^idoring the Govern
ment tax now imposed upon cotton.
Mr Maury, from tho special commit
tee appointed nt n previous mooting,
submitted tho following
UEFORT:
To tho Chmfor of Commerce :
Tho Committee appointed to consider
levied upou cotton id! iu thp South at
close of the war. On tl«o contrary, por-
hnps that tax might, without improprie
ty, have Leon twice or thrice us largo os
it was; boon use tho Uuitod Statos, by
fmddovm# « pence lit nn onormons t -\
prnso, had rnnferred a high value upon
such cotton ns had pfcViuuhly been com
paratively worthless, and therefore might
be held tn havo some rights ns salvors of
property whioh was perishing. But, ad
mitting this ns to cotton grown prior to
18()6, it is slid Very questionable wheth

ly a pretext Those who make the ar
gument must bo fully oonvinc.od thnt no
more paper guarantees will exerciss any
restraining influence whatever upon men
disposed to commit a violation of law or
n repudiation of a contmut. They are
now establishing precedents for the
eliango rif tho organic law, which will,
perhaps, defeat Hie very object they have
(n view in making tlm nmondmunts.
They are proposing amondmeiii alter
amendment to inn constitutimi upon the
.most transparent and frivolous pretexts,
and are thereby demonstrating tlm fact
tliut no matter wlmt the constitution may
be, it oan bo changed at any time tn suit
tlm peculiar purposes and views of the
dominant party. Tlm odor of sanctity
which has heretofore surrounded and
protected tho constitution from assault w
being rapidly dispelled, and if tho pres
ent practice of amending it on all ocoa-
siotiH is iierslated in, it will soon become
tho (boiutdl of political parties and noth
ing contained within it will amount to a
guaranty fur anything. If tho Rudicul

tablished that the dogmas of patties
shall bo mmlo parts of the organic law
there will be no security for permanuney
in the constitution from one Congress to
another. The work ufone Qon&row W’ill
ho overturned by the work of the next.
The people will lose all respout for tho
uonsutuLiou nnd Will change it to suit
their wbinis os they do thoir clothes.
The only real seourity for the pay
ment of the national debt and the niainton-
unco of tho national credit, is in the de
velopment of the rnsou rocs of Urn coun
try ; in the increase of its wealth ; in the
oruution of ability lo pay not only the
interest but the principal of the debt;
in raising the oppressive loud of taxation
which now presses down every branch
of Industry irora the shoulders of tho
people.
This cannot bo done by persecuting
tho people of a whole section of tho coun
try, and that section the wealth produc
ing section. Instead of purely*,ng tho
energies of the people of the Booth, wo
must sliiuulute lltoni to the very logout
point of uctivity; wo must encourage
immigraiiooand (he flow of capital to
that desolate region, and by the lull om
ployment of its wealth-producing re
sources, swell tho volume of the national
wealth* nnd reduce the rate ot taxation.
As the Tate of taxation is reduced the
people will become r.cnnuilud to the
payment of the. debt, utal the danger of
repudiation will be removed. But ifilho

Got Him-—A Lgulevijlo colemporary
•There is nothing that cun bo mid of
tlm grout state prisoner, which is devoid
of interest. Even those who have boon
ndvoreo to him, ntusl feel a degree of
concern. He seems tjo nearer a trial
tlmn n yonr ago or tftofe. The Now
York Tribune hno repentodiy spoken
truthfully of the extreme wickedness in
kupping him n clone prisoner, arid reftta-
ing him tho constitutional right of a
ppeedy trial. Wo tnko tho following
from a recent number of tho Tribuno,
which will bo read with undivided inter
est:
Eighteen months havo nearly elapsed
since Jefferson Davis Wan made a Btnto
prisoner, lie hud nay been pub
licly charged, by the President of the
United Status, with conspiring to usshh-
sinnte President Lincoln, nnd #100,000
otfored for his capture,thereupon. The
cupturo was promptly made nnd tho
money duly paid : yet, up to this hour,
there has not boon uv«n nn nttept mudu
by tho Government to procure his indict
ment on thnt charge. He has also boon
popularly, if not officially accused of com
plicity in the virtual murder of Union
soldiers, while prisoners of war, by sub
jecting them to ncodlure inhuman oxpo!-
uro, privation ntid nbueo ; but no oflieiul
uttornpt has been mado to Indict him oh
thnt charge llo has boon indicted lor
simple treason ; evon thin indictment has
not boon obtained ut Hie instance of the
Government. It nmy bo so badly
drawn that no conviction could bo had
on it. whatever tbo proof ndvuncod; yet
the Executive ooulu Hay, “I am not re
sponsible for this. Tho indictment was
ootuUU'd without the assont or privity of
my Attorney-General or cabinet.
Repented attempts have boon mndo
by the prifionor’s counsel to bring his
case to trial, but to no purpose. Tho
govuruuiont does not appear to prose*
unto ; tho machinery of tho courts is al
ways out of order. At one time mnrtinl
law stands in the way; when thnt obstn*
clo in removed, there is a cavil us to tho
sufficiency or completeness of its with
drawal; nnd when that will no longer
serve, jt is founl that Congress has bohio-
how disarranged the judicial districts, so
tliut tho onso cannot safely be proceeded
with. And Congress, ibscF, having moat
inooneiderately meddled with tlm mat-
tor, never took pains to inquire wlmt no
tion on its part if nny, wan requisite ; so
that now, Congress, i’resident and Chief
Justice, nro in n complete muddle on the
subject; each seeming inclined o throw
nil responsibility fur lliodelayon ono ui
both of tho others.
Tho upshot of all thin is, thnt tho pris
oner i« not tried, nor likely to be; nnd
that, if tried, he ia morally pertain not to
be oonviutod ; if convicted, not to bo pun
ished. There m 0 st'll inutiy persons who
would like to have him executed, but
there is nnl one in elligcnt mnn on earth
who has tho faintest nutitm that he ever
will bo. For, though gmcrnmcntH earn-
times inflict capital punishment on con
spicuous rebels, they never, at least In
modern times, do so so long after their re
bellion wassuppRwed. Austria, In 184!),
put to donth thirteen or the Hungarian
loud rs, betruyed into her hand* by tlju
misereimt Gorgey ; but sho tried them by
drumhead court martini, diroctiy after
their surrender, and had them all hanged
and buried within forty eight hours,
llad slm waited eighteen montlia and
then executed them, she would havo iu*
talked the execration of nJJ christen ’om.
Bince it I* notorimiH that Mr. Davis is
nut to bu punished, why i* he ilill kept
awaiting u trir.l which, he alone scums
to desire, and which he can by no means
obtain? What good end in subserved
by persisting in n mehneo which still
