Consolation in Adversity.
The Richmond Whig, consoling its
readers on the prospect that the Old Do
minion will soon be reduced to a Territory,
says the change will relieve the people
from the burdens of taxation, a* the
ple ot a Territory are not privileged to pay
taxes for the support of government. We
think this will turn out a mistake. That
privilege will still be left us, und we shall
find that license and income taxation are
collective as usual. The remainder of the
direct tax will no doubt al«o be collected
in respect to we have been.
But taxes for the maintenance of local
government, if precedent rules, will be
spared us. Under a territorial organiza
tion, executive, legislative and judicial
functionaries, as appointees and agents of
the federal Government, are paid by the
l nited States, as well also as all other
expenses of civil administration. * The
late legislature of Georgia (if we are uot
mistaken) provided by law for raising a
revenve of five millions—a most aw ful
demand considering tLe poverty of the
people and theenormous burdens of tax
ation already resting upon them. But It
would seem that State, Counties and City
corporations, instead of sparing their con
stituencies as much as possible in respect
to the pressure of nations) t ixation, were
stimulated by it into a passion of rivalry
to see if they cannot out do the Federal
Government in the enormity of their ex
actions. But not to digress. W e hope a
territorial govern meat will at least re
lease Georgia of the State tax.
There is another point suggested by the
Savannah News, worthy of consideration
by minds skilled in the iasv. The News
says:
It may not have occurred to those sa
gacious statesmen who to reduce
these States to a territorial condition, that,
they would therby relieve them from all
their indebtedness and substitute the
United States in their shoes a3 the re
sponsible debtor This is the opinion of
eminent lawyers. If the United States by
the destruction of the State governments,
interferes between them and creditors,
depriving them of the power to provide
for the discharge of their liabilities those
liabilities are either extinguished or de
volve upon the power destroying them.
Tills, we are inclined to think would be
the law in the case, but we apprehend the
radicals will resolve all doudts by provi
ding to the contrary and arbitrary col
lecting such a tax from the people as will
at least meet the interest and accruing
principal of the public debts of the States.
If we look to the radicals for gingerly
treatment or a cautious and cnary exer
caie of their power, we shall in all human
probability be disappointed.
Horace Greely says very sensibly :

dom to work, the winter jiu eomiug on

The Cotton Chop in Illinois. —It
seems that they have beeu tryiug their
hand at the cotton raising iu Illinois. A
correspondent in one of our exchanges
writing from near Cairo, iu that State
savs:
The crop during the last few yearn has
beeu an exceedingly profitable one. The
present year the seasons is said to have
beeu unfavorable, aud prices have depre
ciated. We find it selling here at 6j and
7 cents per pound in the seed. About four
pouudsot seed cotton make one of ginned
cotton. Even at this price, with favorable
seasons aud careful culture, it is profita
ble crop. East y ear the crop was sold on
an average at about ten cents per pound,
iu the seed. About three thousand l*ales
were shipped from stations iu this county
last year, a portion of which was grown in
Johnston County.

New York Chamber of Commerce,
Flora the New York Pont. Pec. K.J
1 lie regular December meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce was held this af
ternoon. Vice-President Jonathan Stur
ges occupied the chair. The attendance
ot members was unusually large.
Mr. M. Maury, of the committee previ
ously directed to prepare a memorial to
Congress ptajiug for the abolition of the
duty ou cotton, presented the draft of a
memorial and read it. It refers, Mr.
Maury said, to a former memorial on this
subject, whose sta emeuts have been veri
fied by time.
Hie influence of American cotton, the
memorial set forth, is decreasing abioad,
and it appears that the present duty of
three cents a pound is simply a Ulx of that
amount upon the producer, rather than
upon the consumer or manufacturer of
Europe.
Figures were then given to show the
relative production of cotton here aud in
Europe for years past aud now, with pric
es. etc., aud that the control of the Euro
pean market is uot only Impracticable, but
that American cotton is likely to become
more and more insignificant in that mar
ket unless the export of the staple is per
fectly free.
The productiveness of our cotton lands
was then alluded to , aud theopiuiou ex
pressed that the mode of sustaining anti
increasing the cotton product, is to leave
it free as the raising of giain.
The tax, if retained, would have the ef
fect of assisting cotton growing in coun
tries not adapted to it, and discouraging
it here. The amount gained by the Unit
ed States bv the tax might be twenty mil
lion dollars.
The export duty was also iu au especial
mauuei oppressive to the freedmeu who,
as a class, depend upon the cultivation of
the soil.
The points of the memorial against the
cotton tax were then summed up as fol
lows:
“It is unjust aud oppressive, because no
other important agricultural product, of
w hich a large portion is exported, is bur
dened in a like manner. It is inexpedi
ent, because it discourages production iu
our own country, aud encourages it abroad.
It is injurious to the freedmeu and plant
ers of the South, because it obstructs the
cultivation of the laud, and the employ
ment of labor.
“It is unnecessary, because it is unim
portant whether twenty millions of dol
lars less of the public debt is paid off in
1867, as the greater prosperity which will
follow the repeal of the tax wdll accelerate
the payment of the debt after that time.
“And iu addition to these objections
occurs the question of tbeconstitutionaJity
of the tax, when viewed in the light of
au export duty, which it unquestionably
is in practice.
“Your memorialists, therefore, respect
fully pray your honorable body to abolish
the tax at the earliest day practicable.”
Mr. Deuuiug Duer (suggested It would
be better to postpone action oil this me
morial till January, whou it might be
seeu what aetiou Congress would take ou
the tax question generally. Mr. Duer
moved that the sub|ect be postponed.
Mayor Opdyke favored the Immediate
adoption of the memorial. It embodied
views the Chamber had previously ex
pressed, and it was well drawn; it wa3
well that Congress should have before It
all the information and all the views
which ought to influence intelligent legis
lation.
The memorial ought to be sent at once
to both Houses of Congress.
Mr. Manry expressed similar views.
Coi. Coukling criticised tho statement
iu the memorial that the cotton tax would
be only twenty million dollars a year. He
believed that taking one year with anoth
er, the duty would amount to at least fif
ty millions.
The usual estimates of the cottou crop
of this year were doubtless considerably
too low. There was good aulborlty for
the belief that the crop would be 2,000.000
or 2,500,000 bales.
One point should not be forgotten. It
was the intention of this nation—the loy
al North, wb eh had put its foot ou rebel
lion —that the people who made that re
bellion should pay their part of the ex
penses of the war, There was no mode
iu which the tax could be collected ex
cept by its imposition on cottou.
Messrs. Leopold Bierwlrth, Bradford,
Sinclair Tou3ey aud others spoke, aud
General Walbridgesaid that it was claim
ed the principles expressed iu the memo
rial had the approval of the Chamber.
When the report ou which it was founded
wae adopted there were not over fifteen
memliers iu attendance. He thought it
ridiculous ttiat those fifteen men aheuld
undertake to express the seuse of eight
hundred and fifty members of this body.
It was finally resolved that the memo
rial should be printed, aud copies left iu
the Chamber of Commerce rooms, aud
that a meeting be held two weeks hence
to consider it.
Among the subjects thateugaged the at
teution of our polytecuic associations, at
a recent meeting was that of a simple
method of sinking wells. One of the pro
cesses described is that of taking an ordi
nary iron water pipe, and driving !t bodily
into the ground, until the lower end reach
es the water veins. A plumb is then at
tached to the upper end of the pipe. This
method, we apprehend, is only applicable
to very favorable localities, where the earth
is quite penetrable. Otherwise, more
machinery will be required to drive the
pipe than could be conveniently procured
When the earth is favorable, It is Bald that
such a well could be commenced and fin
ished inside of an hour.
Dispatoh from General Sheridan
Washington, Dee. 13.—A dispatch was

Will Flour be Lower.?—The notion
prevalent in certain quarters that the price
of flour and grain is to become very high
during the winter is not borne out „y the
statements of the quantity of grain in the
country. On the contrary, there appears
to be every reason for fowpr prices than
those who now obtaiu, bo'h as regards the
present and the future. A letter fiom our
Chicago correspondent coutaius some very
Interesting statistics bearing ui>on the sult
ject, a portion of which we reproduce in
this connection. The following table
shows the quantity of grain «*ceived at
Chicago from the first of January to the
first of December, as compared with that
received durlug the correspond'ng months
last year:
1866. 1566.
Flour, barrel . 1,710,310 1,120,701
Wheat, bush, 11,03,495 9,020.981
Corn, bushels 32,893,794 21,363,972
Oats 9,961,181 12,991,193
Rye 9,643,600 1,168,970
Barley 1,439,303 1,420,687
It will be noticed that, with the excep
tion of oats, the receipts of grain this % ear
exceed those of last year. Allowing five
bushels of wheat to a barrel of flour, the
number of bushels of wheat received at
Chicago for eleven months in 1865aud 1 '*3o,
was respectively 14,024,491 and 20,015,045,
and a comparison of the two shows an in
crease this year of 37 per cent. Such
facts as these are arguments in themsel
ves, and clearly chow that no good reason
exists for the present high price of flour, or
for apprehending that it will be still high
er.
Estimating five bushels of wheat to the
barrel, as before, it is ascertained that the
total quantity of grain aud gram m flour
received at Chicago during the months
specified in 1865 and 1366, was respectively
54,577 303 and 65,751 913 bushels, the in
crease this year being nearly 26 per ceat. —
This does not look like a scarcity of cereals,
nor forebode high prices for them during
the next few months. The conclusior,
therefore, is irresistible that, under the or
dinary operations of trade, the prices of
cereals must tend downwards.— New York

A royal decree has recently been issued
in Spain, repealing au enactment equiv
alent to our old fugitive slave law. Here
after, slavery is to be treated as a local in

iu those islands reaches, from any cause,
any other portion of the Spauibh donna
ions, or the territory of auv State where
slavery does uot exist, he regains bis free

of the approaching overthrow of “the sum

Horrible Murder and Robbery at
Palatka. —A friend at Palatka has fur
nished us with au account of the most
cold blooded and deliberate murder, it has
ever been our melancholy duty to chroni
cle. The facts xre briefly these, Mr
William B. Stevens, Sheriff of Putnam
County, and ex-officio Tax-Assessor and
Collector, attended an appointment on
Thursday, the 29th ult.,at John Register’s
for the purpose of receiving the State and
County tax from the citizens of that pre
cinct. About 4. p. ru, h 6 left for Paiat
ka on horseback, taking with him wjiat
money he had collected, supposed to be be
tween two aud three hundred dollars. On
the Monday following his body was found
about two miles from Register’s, pierced
in the breast by a rifle or pitto! bail, and
his pockets rifted aud robbed of the mon
ey. Our informant states that Mr. Ste
vens horse had been hitched aud remained
for some days until found. The shock to
the family was very great, as the first in
timation tLey had of their loss was tbear
rival of the body iu their midst. Mr. Ste
vens was a highly respected citizen, aud
his loss will be deeply felt, not only by
bis immediate friends but tho entire com
munity.
We learn from our iuformaut that there
is no Sheriff, Corner or Constable left in
the county to make au arrest, if found ne
cessary, aud that the excitement in the
community is very great. In the absence
of the Judge, who ia authorized to appoint
the proper officer, we trust that the citi
zens will act promptly iu the matter, aud
secure the offender before he has time to
flee the country. — Jacksonville Union, Dec.

discovered called Ten a alba , or white
earth. It comes from Ireland, aud costs
by the banel about II cents per pound,
w bile loaf sugar costa about 17 cents. Tbo
bodies of oo idle .he coating of almonds
ami l.»?seres, are made frem this earthy
material. Ii it whiter than plaster aud i
\ery much used iu the adulteration of
flour used iu tins market. A glue, paiut
and oil manufacturer of Nmv York, lias
sent round h;- annual circular, which I
have seen, to the principal confectioners,
calling attention to a frch arrival of this
white earth. I have seen an ounce of loz
euges dissolved in water, in which two
thirds of an ounce was of Terra alba, aud
not a particle of sugar in the lot.
The common method of flavoring can
dies, almonds, sugar plums, etc., is with
deleterious substances. Tho pineapple
flavor, the baua.ua and the peach are made
from fusil oils, which are very poisonous.
Bitter almond flavor is made from prussic
acid unadulterated. Pineapple flavor it
obtained from rotten cheese, very rotten,
aud nitric acid.
Gum arabic for pure gum drops is costly.
An article has bocu invented of the moat
beautiful appearauce, that is used instead
of the gum It is very cheap aud very
noisonous.
In pure candy cochineal is usad to color
red, and eaffroir for the yellow. But iu
the common candies poisonous coloring is
put, the same that is used to co! wines
aud liquors. Cue of the most cmuaiou it
‘carlot’ into which ar enic largely enters.
A few grains of this substance will color a
cask of wine, Licorice drops for the ‘trade’
are made of psor brow n sugar, glue and
lamp black, flavored with licorice. And
for the Western trade much of this vile
stuff i packed and sent West to be
put up iu boxes to suit the market, of
which from 75 to9o percent, is terra alba.
This material enters largely into the com
mon chocolate aud spices. Much of the
cream of tartar use for bread is made of ter
ra alba and tartaric acid.
Tho Collapse of Crinolino.
The Richmond Times says: “The he
roic and adventurous nights of the Round
I able, who, from their intimacy with
waiting maids out of employment, are
usually in possession of the very latest in
telligence as lo the mysteries of the female
toilet, announce a collapse in crinoline.—
They aver mat *»** uWJWuuu m these de
crees—vague, yet imperative—wnich
comes to us from some unknown source
in Paris, Mr Uradley and all other invent
ors and dealers m the patent skirts aud
tilting hoops must soon come to grief.—
Hooped skirts are disappearing in the
streets ands owly in the draw ingrooms.’
“Few fashions have so long withstood
the furious attacks of mankind as the
hosp. During its former reign, a hund
red years and better a; o, letters furious, 1
complaining and satirical appeared, as we j
all know,in the Speclato r , as they now l
appear in Punch, and equally in vain uu- i
ti' it- appointed time came, and it fell be
fore the rage for classic decoration which
culminated iu the spindled-shanked
chairs ond sofas of Jnsenheii's drawing
room, and the scanty draperies of the
beautiful Hortense. We believe, howev
er, that there will be a gradual subsidence '
rather than a sudden collapse of crinoline. :
The female sex, although wedded to sash- i
ion, would resist a change which would
recall disagreeable reminiscences of the
lean who succeeded.and we think devour
ed the ‘fat kine,' mentioned in Scriptural
history. It is difficult to believe that the
classic style which made loan women look
as thin as a thread paper is to follow close
xpon the heels of a aiou which gave to
every woman the proportions of a moder- 1
ate sized balloon.
Louisville Pork Market.
The Courier of yesterday says :
An undefined iortofeagernesahasbeen
displayed since Saturday among pork
packers aod dealers to buy, and the then
rapidly declining market has stiffened as
the weather hardened. There is no tangi
ble apparent cause that we are aware of
beyond the fact t sat the packers have thus
far secured Inadequate supplies, and are
anxious to keep their pens w ell filled in
order to rave a full compliment for the
daily slaughter.
Hogs today are firm, and wo hear of
sales of good lots to packers at 6 to 6je
gross at the pens, choice lots are held at
64c. The range at this market, for mer
cantile bogs may be rated at from 6 to
etc.
Married by Mistake.—The Detroit
Union of Thursday, giues the following
account of a grave mistake in the marriage
liue, with, however, a pleasant end.ng;
Last evening, Edward Thayer and Mise
Heiien F. Jelliman, attended by Mr. Aus
tin Humphrey aud Annie E. Crause, went
to St. Paul’s Church, the former couple to
get marrie 1 , and the lat. er to act as grooms
man and bridesmaid. They all stood up
before the altar, and the officiating clergy
man the Rev. Mr. Dunn, supposing that
both coup es were to be married, request
ed the gentleman to join hand-i with their
respective ladies, which was done, aud in
a very short time the four were made two.
The situation being fully realized by the
latter couple, they cone uded to accept
what they could not very well helpandall
adjourned to their boarding bouse quits
well ple -sed w ith the result of the preach
er’s mistake.
A Fine Spectacle.— The Boston Com
mercial says:
Our manufacturing towns at this season
of the year, after "lightening up time,” as
it is called, present a magnifident specta
cle to the traveler as he passes them in the
ears after nightfall. The city otLaw rence
in particular, stretched as its huge cotton
and woolen factories are in a continuous
line along the northern bank of the Mer
rimack river, looks like some great capi
tal illuminated for a festal occasion. The
myriad windows of the huge mills are all
aglow from the basement to the eaves,
and the motion of the machinery imparts
a rotary movement to the Innumerable
gas burners. At we passed Lawrence last
evtuiiug, juot before the bells rang out the
operatives, we were reminded of the line;
of Tennyson descriotlve of the pavilion,of
tlm Caliph of Bagdad.
A Humane Judge.—A Texan Judge
concluded a sentence for murder as fol- !
lows:
• Ihe fact it Jonee, that the Court did
not intend to order you to be executed be
fore next spring, but the weather is very
cold and our jail, unfortunately, is in a
very bad condition; much of the glass in
the windows is broken ; tbe chimneys are
in such a dilapidated condition that no
fire can be made to render your apart
ments comfortable, besides owing to the
great number of prisoners, not more than
one blanket can be allowed to each; to
sleep sound and comfortable, therefore it
is out of the pic=tion. In consideration
of these and wishing to lee
ben your Bufferings m much ae possible,
the Court, in the exerclte of its humane
eomnabxifci, therefore orders you to be ex
ecuted to-morrow morning an soon after
breakfast as may bo convenient to the
Sheriff and agreeable to you.'
•ft, The New York Herald’*Washlt|g
ton oorreapondeot, iu referriug to tbe MJ'r
iou of tbe Radicals regarding the Ft-** i
dent's appointing powers, says:
“It has become an interesting question
here whether it will not check, if not en
tirely stop, the machinery of government;,
if Congress persists in its proposed meas
ures abridging the powers of the Execu
tive. For instance, if Congress persists
that appointment shall be made by tho
President in a certain uiaui.er, and t!m
President does not choose toappoint atall,
there is no constitutional authority to com
pel him to. Hence iu case of vacancies tu
important offices the damage to the inter
ests of the eouutry is obvious.”
It is believed in Washington that after
the adoption by Congress of tire Suffrage
Bill for that I)L-trict, tb© city charter will
be taken away, aud tho city governed by a
board of four Commissioners, to be ap
pointed by the President. These Com
missioners will absorb the functions
of the city governments of Washing
ton and Georgetown, A long bill on
the subject has been proposed for presen
tation to Congress. Must of tire large j
property owners of the city are in favor of
the change, because they believed such a (
commitsiou will have more influence with ;
Congress, aud obtain larger ap prop* at ions ;

Taxation in Territories.
The idea that Territories will escape Fed
eral taxatiou springs, perhaps,from a true
Constitutional but false practical views ot
the situation. The Constitution contem
plates but two modes of taxatiou—the one
indirect by imposts, &c., and the other
direct, which can only be collected by req
uisitions upou the State Governments.—
The State Treasuries must respond to all
such demands, aud the direct tax must be
collected through the agency of State Tax
Collectors. There can be no reasonable
doubt that the whole of the present inter
nal revenue system of the United States is
without the slighest warrant in the Con
stitution. Obviously, therefore, a Consti
tutional direct tax could not be collecteu
iu the Territories, but there is uo reason
why U. S. Tax Collectors under the pres
ent system, should not pervade Territo
ries aa well as States.

Judge Holt.—Judge Holt has madean
otner appeal to ttic people to relieve him
from the odium of his attempt to implicate
Jeff Davis in the assassination of 'Mr.

do would be to get out of the public prints,
and subside into retirement. If he will
do that, the public may forget him after
