ahou d spare also. In other words, the ’ - r
Attorney Genera! would regard as a ca-
luuiitv the failure of the law to execute
many living Southern men.
Wc had flattered ourselves with the
hope that the future would be marked
wiih sublime efforts at peace and recon
ciliation—that it would witness no other
efluMOtis of blood; but the sentiments of
Mr. Speed augur evil and only evil. We
thank God, however, ihat this officer has
not the power of life nnd death in his
humte, and that there \S such a tiling as
public opinion which may yet make itself
felt. The world knows that the Southern
people entered upon the contest believing
that they were right. They fought long
and'well. Superior physical force crush
rd them. They threw down their arms,
intending to observe scrupulously their
oaths and paroles, trusting to the good
faifli of the United States Government,
and they still rely upon it, let the opinion
of the Attorney Ucneral be what it may.
We cannot permit ourselves to think for
u moment ihut this Government will suf
fer any one to violate the spirit of paroles,
even though the letter of them might
justify the actiou. Wc accord the Attor
ney General honesty of opinion, and
penned this article merely to express our
surprise at some of his sentiments, and
making known the fiim belief of our
people that their interpretations of paroles
will be the one finally adopted by the
Government.
In conclusion we must say that wc
rend with delight the remark of Mr.
Speed that he would regard a violation of
the Constitution by the President a great
er calamity than the escape of many
Southern men from execution. Al 1 that
the late Confederates ask is a strict ob-
servaiice of tbe Constitution. Their cor
dial support will he extended to the
Administration that respects it. Our
people never did and never will object to
that instrument. Let it be administered
as it was in the earlier days of the Re
public, and our word for it. not a murmur
or complaint will be heard from the JL’o-
touiac to the Rio Grande.
We wish the War would Close.
It is said that a severe war between
the Radicals and the President « raging.
At times wc are disposed to credit the
statement; but when we look at the re
sult we feel inclined to believe that the
war is waged, not between these parties,
but upon the Southern people. The con
flict may be funny to them, but it is death
to us. The President says the Southern
States are in the Union, and consequently
dated state the road in two months has
yielded a nett income exceeding one half
of tbe amount of purchases. Additional
outlays arc needed to_ place the road iu
proper condition.
The Governor opposes the suggestion
of placing this great State interest under
the management of Com Jiissioners. With
Commissioners there will be divided re
sponsibility and counsel, ete , and increas
ed expense. The General Assembly is
urged to make but little if any change in
the present system—increase the pay ol
Superintendent to such an extent as in
their judgment will secure the highest
capacity for the position and make n«>
delay in making appropriations for placing
the road in good order.
PENITENTIARY.
If this system be abandoned what shall
replace it f There must be a return to
the one that preceded it. About thirty
years since the experiment was tried, but
the scenes of the whipping post, pillory
and exhibitiou in court of the red hot
brand burning infamy into the human
flesh, produced such a revulsion in the
public mind that the next Legislature
restored the Penitentiary. His views arc
that instead of abandoning—the represen
tatives of the people should address them,
with the light of experience, to the task
of improving the system. The propriety
of a change of location is left entirely
to the wisdom of the members of tbc
General Assembly. Should that body de
termine to locate it elsewhere, he suggests
that the present site, with necessary re
pairs to the buildings not destroyed, might
be used advantageously as a labor prison
for colored convicts. Agents should be
appointed to settle all matters of account
growing out of the copartnership between
Messers. Devine, Jones ar.d Lee and the
State in the card factory.
STATE TREASURY.
For all practical purposes the treasury may
now bo said to be empty. Large amounts
must be expended in the revival of im
portant interests—the p yment of civil
list and interest on public debt. Recourse
must be had to the credit of the State, in
order to raise these amounts rather than
sell State property A tabular statement
of money required for 1866 and 1867 is
given. The remission of the tax lor
1865 and the imposing of a moderate
; this subject as to make seven per cent
: the legal rate, where interest is charg- able
: according to law, and no rate fixed by
'contract; and to povide further, that any
rate of interest not exceeding ten per
cent, may be established by, and collected
under a contract, for the payment of
money. This advance will probably be
sufficient to test practically the merit of
the proposed change, and it will be easy
from this point to recede or advance furth
er, as experieuce may dictate.”
INCREASE OF PAUPERISM.
Owing io sudden emancipation there
will be for a time an increase of pauper
ism. For eases involving no criminality
provisions must be made. To do which he
advises the laying of moderate capitation
tax upon each adult person of color, capa
ble of earning wages, and the same be
paid to the justices of the inferior Courts
to disbursed under rules to be prescribed
by themselves.
CLAIM OF COTTON.
Secretary McCulloch, in a letter to
Provisional Gov. Johnson, says the State
must prosecute in the U. S. Court of claims
her claim for cotton captured by the
Federal army at Savannah.
Repart of Commissioners.
As the Commissioners have proposed
alterations in their report we will Rot
publish any more of it until the Legisla
ture acts.
Legislative Proceedings.
The Legislature met Monday 15th ;
but there being barely a quorum present,
both branches adjourned until Tuesday,
on which day the Governor's Message was
read to both Houses. Two Judges of tbe
Supreme Court will be elected uext Tues
day.
Congressional Proceedings.
For the past week have been mainly
concerning the negro, and the Southern
States. Both Houses have before them
a bill confering the elective franchise
upon the negroes in the District of Colum
bia. Suiuner is busily engaged, as usual,
reading negro petitions from various sec
tions. llowe has offered a resolution for
the appointment of Provisional Governors
over the late Confederate States. Morrell
lias before Congress a proposition to in
crease the tax on cotton. A proposition
iu the House allow the negroes in the
District of Columbia to determine by bal
lot whether white men should be allowed
to vote, secured twelve votes. In the Sen
ate on the 15th, Mr. Chandler offered a 0
resolution requesting the President to
withdraw our Minister from England and
by Proclamation to declare non-intcrcouire
between the two nations, because England
has refused indemnity for damages to^
Yankee commerce by her subjects. This
resolution lies over. On the same day
Sherman offered resolution to expell J. J.
orders his tax-gatherers to go over the a jj c( j $^500,000, now needed the whole
land and collect what few greenbacks wc j wou | d bc on j y $6,000,000. The annual

not iu the Union, and hence exclude : tlie Government would not exceed $800-

the war between Mr. Johnson and Con
gress brings upon us all the evils and
none of the benefits of Government.—

Form 9 has been prepared for this pur
pose, and for the issuing and service
thereol the collector is entitled to a fee

vice is made.
If payment is not made within ten

lector will proceed to collect the duties,
with the penalty of ten per cent, and the
proper costs and expenses, by distraint.”
DISTILLED SPIRITS AND COAL OIL.
“ Distillers of spirits and coal oil arc-
required to make return on tbe first, elev
enth, and twenty-first days of each month,
or within five days thereafter, and the
duties are payable immediately to the
collector. It is provided in section 69
that if the duties are not paid at the time
required, a penalty of ten per centnm
shall be added; and, in case of refusal
or neglect to pay within ten days, the
amount may be collected by distraint
without any previous notice.
In addition to the proceeding by dis
traint, a failure to pay the duties at the
time required, renders the distiller liable
to the forfeitures prescribed in section
68, and seizure should be made by the
collector under the provisions of that sec
tion whenever, in his judgment, the in
terests of tbe government so require. In
determining which course to pursue, the
collector should always be careful to select
that which offers the best security for the
collection of the tax.
Whenever a seizure is made, under
section 68, for a failure to pay at the pre
scribed time, tbc Collector should notify
the Commissionerbcforc commencing pro
ceedings to enforce the forfeiture.
Collectors will specially note the clause
in section 59 which requires the duty to
be paid on all spirits not removed to a
bonded warehouse before the day pre
scribed by law for making return of the
same. This applies also to refined coal
