JAMES GARDAEB, - d* sol ’
MORNING. MAE 28,1871
Our New York Correspondence.
New York, March 25,1871,
One of the great mistakes which the Ua<l
icals are now making is, that a clamor
against the Ku Klux will help them retain
power, and carry the Northern States this
and the ensuing year. Very few yet see
how slender a reliance for political strength
this is. The Evening Post, however, gave
expression the other lay to the true view
of the matter. It said, with much €ID
sis, that the disturbances occurring at the
South showed faults of administration,
which might justly be brought home to the
Republicans. It is six years since the war
terminated, and such are the accumula-
tions of outrage heaped upon a prostrate
people, that human nature cries out against
them. It is their experience with this city
over again. The Republicans carried this
city in°lßs6, and from that time till within
a year past were busy governing this city
aud its suburbs. They quadrupled taxes,
and failed everywhere in providing an
effective and satisfactory administration.
The people at last, in their despair, handed
over the power to the Democrats. With
many embarrassments, and with imperfect
appreciation of the principles which gov
ern them, the Democrats set about re
constructing our municipal governments,
and the result already is a large decrease
of local expenditures, and such general
reforms in the administration that leading
Republicans, unite in commending them.
It is just so with the South. Independent
and thougtitful people will soon demon
strate their inclination to see what a Dem
ocratic Administration can do with the
South, unwilling to indulge the Republi
cans longer in their experiments, to use the
mildest term that can be applied to their
measures. And yet the excessive difficulty
which the Democratic leaders in this State,
in procuring effective action toward re
form, admonish all against the impolicy of
proclaiming specific measures as articles of
party faith. Suppose Jefferson had incor
porated in the Declaration of Independence
a plan of government to be set up when
the authorities of the British Throne had
been abolished. When would independence
have been achieved ?
Cotton is making a desperate effort to
maintain its position. The renewal of
civil strife in Paris hurts cotton and gen
eral trade; nevertheless, the spiuuing de
mand is active, aud there is a great move
ment to the Continent, not only from Liver
pool, but our own markets.
A man having a field of stumps, in
Queen’s county, and wishing them re
moved, gathered a crowd of negroes, had
one of the stumps pulled up, and pretended
to pick from under it a number of Spanish
doubloons. It was noj lost upon the ne
groes, and he had the remainder of the
field cleared with the greatest celerity.
SPUING OPENINGS.
This week, despite the penitence of Lent,
has been among fashionables a notable one,
as by many of the leading houses grand
openings have been held, though many will
not display their choicest selections until
the coming week, and others again will not.
be prepared for an exhibition until April
shall have set in. Lent does not interfere
with the numbers of those who throng to
know what will be worn, and never has
Broadway and each mart of fashion been
more crowded than at present. Beautiful
bonnets are shown, exhibitiug a tendency
to an increasing size, though in both hats
and bonnets there is a great variety, and in
many instances, much general similarity to
last year’s styles. The Gipsy still srems
to be the favorite. In some houses, the
handsomest bonnets appear with the long
corners and genuine crown which in days
long gone by were so familiar—previons
to the advent of the chignon, and now that
the chignon, or its substitutes, are disap
pearing, coming once more into vogue.
With these bonnets the face trimmings of
long ago will also be seen again. As trim
mings, gros grain and gauze ribbons, crepe
de chene, thread lace and flowers are shown.
Trailiug sprays will still be in favor.—
Round hats are still very high in the
crown, with narrow v>rima, many
others differing in shape are shown
v SUITS.
AmoDg late importations one very desir
able is the apron Polonaise. The back is
nearly tight fitting, the front loose with
one dart, and the whole belted in at the
waist. A bow at the back completes the
belt. In the back are two side forms and
two centre pieces, making thns a seam
down the middle, the waist and skirt being
cut in. one. The fullness is arranged in a
large box pleat and then gathered beneath
the belt, and by a single deep pleat in each
seam the looping is accomplished. This
would form a stylish over-garment in black
silk for Spring wear, and will also be de
sirable for the thinner materials which will
be worn later iu the season. A good idea
for suits intended for Summer wear is oue
“ by which an outer wrap is dispensed with,
giving thus but one covering for the arms
and shoulders. The waist is a chemise
Russe, with darts in front and loose in the
back. The dress skirt belted over has at
tached to it the apron front of the over
skirt and caught up at the sides. To fin
ish the whole a belt of folds bound on each
side is added, from which is pendant ihe
bouffant back which, with the apron front,
completes the overskirt. In underskirts
there is no change.
In methods of trimming, there is much
liberty allowed. Some suggestions, how
ever, as to what is considered most stylish,
will not be inappropriate. A siDgle deep
flounce is not as fashionable as several nar
rower ones, but in case a deep flounce is
put on, there should be a handsome head
ing, and it should be set. in above ‘he edge
of the dress sufficiently far to admit of a
narrow pleating or niche below. Pleating
on the side will be continued in lighter ma
terials. A handsome method is to put a
deep treble box pleating in the centre of
each of the six widths, and to place bows,
or ornaments of passementerie, in the space
between, all being headed with folds of
repped silk and passementerie. Narrow
ruffles should be alternately gathered or
pleated, and alternate ruffles should be of
different shades in the same materials, or of
different fabrics in the same shade. On
some 6kirts five bias bands, each two
inches wide, with a piping of a darker
shade, or of a different material, are placed,
and on others two bands, each lour inches
wide. Sometimes, in handsome dresses,
the centre band is dotted with figures in
passementerie, or with very small buttons
Dust color, gray, ashes of roses, and yel
lowish browns and buffs are the favorite
colors.
OUT-DOOR COVERINGS.
Some pretty jackets for driving, of
black cashmere, embroidered or braided
are shown. Others worked iu Japanese
style, with a fringe of crimped silk, in the
game colors as the embroidery. For yoong
girls, white serge jackets., edged with a
narrow fold of colored velvet, with revers,
cuffs? nod buttoes to match, are tasteful and
Jaunty. A short paletot, imported to com
plete a suit, is of a light twilled cloth, with
loose front and fitted postilion back. On
the sides are false pocket flaps, collar en
reverg. sleeves half open and trimmed with
a bias band of cloth of a darker shade.
Loose sacques are longer, and not so much
slashed as last year. The sleeves which
will be most in favor is half flowing, fitting
the arms closely midway between the
elbow and wrist, where it becomes wider,
and the box pleat which holds in the full
ness, covered by a bow or passementerie
ornament. In other cases the sleeve is cut
off and finished by a pleated ruffle.
GLOVES.
In gloves there is little change. Asa
general thing they should match the dress,
though this does not, of course, hold good
where high colors, blue, green, orange, etc.,
are worn. For street wear, the glove to
match is perhaps in better taste; for cere
monious visiting light gloves are indispen
sable. For evening wear, deeper shades
than formerly are worn. White gloves
stitched with black are for full dress
mourning. Willoughby.

ttte people and the taxes.
There are twenty or twenty-five members
of the General Assembly of the State who
strive earnestly to cut down expenditures,
fn defeat iobs, and to secure the passage of
last and equal laws. But the Radicals
have an overwhelming preponderance, and,
conscious of their power as the representa
tives of the negro majority, they sell their
votes to the highest bidder, and, as in the
case of the Consolidation bill and the Legis
lative Appropriation bill, pass every meas
ure which enriches them while it impover
ishes the white people of the State. These
Radicals —native born or foreign importa
tions—have, nearly without exception, no
property save what has been stolen, under
the forms of lav/, from the, unrepresented
tax-payers. It Is not surprising then that
they should determine to collect, in this
year of grace, State and county taxes
amounting to over four million dollars.
These taxes do not fall upon the needy ad
venturers who make the laws, nor upon
the greedy officials who execute them. The
citizens ofSoutfy Carolina, who own ninety
nine one-hundredths of the property in the
State, who possess nearly all the virtue and
absolutely all the culture qud intelligence,
are practically without representation in
the Legislature 6f the State. This is a ty
ranny, a refined torture, which cannot long
be borne.
In 1858, when the expenses of the State
government were less than $500,000, the
property of the whites was valued (and the
estimate was ridiculously low) at no less
than $480,000,000 in gold. Now the real
and personal estate is valued, for taxation,
at a far higher price than it would bring at
public sale, and yet it is only set down at
$183,000,000 in currency. The value of
property is thus reduced from $500,000,000
to $183,000,000, but the taxes are increased
from $500,000, in 1858, to $4,000,000 for 1871.
The State and county taxes for both 1870
and 1871 are made payable during the pres
ent year. It is plain, therefore, that the
taxation is increased nearly ten-fold, while
the basis of taxation is reduced two-thirds.
This is the question in a nut shell.
We discountenance now, and we always
have discountenanced, any active resist
ance to the laws of the State. But the
problem is, Cart the penple—the unrepre
sented whites—pay the taxes levied upon
them ? It is not a matter of expediency or
policy. It is not an open question whether
the whites will pay tribute to the common
enemy- Six months ago immense areas of
land were advertised for sale for the unpaid
taxes of 1868 aud 1869. In Williamsburg,
one-sixth of the whole county was to be
brought under the hammer; in Fairfield, one
tenth; other counties told the same sad tale
of destitution and suffering. Upon the top
of the unpaid and paid taxes of 1868 and
1869 come the State and county taxes for
1870 and 1871, which are made due and
payable before November next. These
taxes, payable in less than nine months of
time, are:
State tax, 1870 $1,647,000
State tax, 1871 1,281,000
County tax, 1870 618,047
County tax, 1871... 549,000
Confiscation total $4,095,047
Its proportion of this huge amount of
money cannot, we believe, be paid by any
one county in the State. In 1868 the entire
tax was $1,860,000. The people were com
paratively rich, but even this tax could not
be paid. The State tax for 1869 was
$1,014,901, but for that year the total col
lections were only four hundred and eighty -
s?nen thousand dollars —about, forty per
cent, on the whole. This year the taxes
are FOUR MILLIONS, in addition to the
unpaid taxes of 1868 and 1869. These
taxes cannot be paid. The people have not
the money wherewith to pav them. It
appears to us, therefore, high time that
there be some concert of action, or inac
tion, among the unrepresented property
holders and tax-pavers of the State. Un
less this be had, lasting ruin stares the
people in the face.
Happy People. —The following extract
of a letter from Quitman, Ga., to the Sa
vannah Republican portrays a happy state
of the political status among the good peo
ple of the county of Brooks. The writer
savs:
There is not a carpet-bagger in the coun
ty, or a scalawag to tamper with the ne
groes by practicing upon their ignorance
and credulity, as a race, with their mean,
low, contemptible, thieving and hellish
views and notions.
There is not, a white man in the county,
to my knowledge, who approves of the pil
fering and rascally administration of Bul
lock and company at Atlanta, or the ty
rannical, unjust. Radical and anti-Republi
can management of national affairs at
Washington by Grant and his minions.
The planters of Brooks, I am happy to
say, have made arrangements for planting
much larger crops of grain than hereto
fore. The farms are in a good condition
generally, for the negroes are working in
dustriously.
“ The Wizard of the Saddle”—Gen.
Forrest. —The Selma Times furnishes us
with the following:
The stockholders of the Selma, Marion
and Memphis Railroad have been In session
for ten days past. Many able men from
Mississippi and Tennessee and our own
State were present, and many able and in
teresting speeches were made. In a speech
made by Col. S. M. Meek, from Columbus,
Miss , one of Mississippi’s brightest stars,
he told the following incident, illustrative
of the ch'racter of Gen. Forrest: A few
days ago a gentleman who was opposed to
the enterprise, was conversing with an old
lady in relation to it, and was using every
argument in his power to convince the old
lady that his position was correct, but to
no purpose. She treed him upon every
point. “ Well’’said the gentleman, “there
is one thing you must admit, and that is
that Forrest is no Christian and can’t go
to heaven.” The old lady paused a mo
ment and replied: “ Well, he may not be a
Christian ; but, if he once sets his head
upon heaven, all hell can’t keep him back.”
A Chapter on Tea.— lt is said that half
the human race drink tea of some sort or
another; it is certain they are by no means
agreed upon the proper method of prepar
ing and drinking it. The Chinaman puts
his tea in a cup, pours hot water upon it,
and drinks the infusion off the leaves; he
never dreams of spoiling its flavor with
sugar or cream. The Japanese triturates
the leaves before putting them into the pot.
In Morocco they put green tea, a little
tansy, and a great deal of sugar into a tea
pot, and fill up with boiling water. In
Bokhara, every man carries a small bag of
tea about him, a certain quantity of which
he hands over to the booth-keeper he patron
izes, who concocts the beverage for him.
The Bokhariot finds it us difficult to pass
a tea booth as our own dram drinker does
to go by a gin palace. His breakfast
beverage Is Schitschaj, that is tea flavored
with milk, cream, or mutton fat, in which
bread is soaked. During the day time
sugarless green tea is drunk with the ac
companiment cf cakes of flour and mutton
suet It is considered an inexcusable
breach of manners to cool the hot cup of
tea with the breath; but the difficulty is
overcome by supporting the right elbow
in the left hand, and giving a circular
movement to the cup. How long each
kiud of tea takes to draw is calculated to
the second; and when the can is emptied,
It is passed round among the company, for
each tea-drinker to take up as many leaves
as can be held between the thumb and
finger—the leaves being esteemed an es
pecial dainty.— Chamber's Journal.
Aged Fish.— The possible extreme old
age to which certain animals may attain
has often been a subject of speculation.
There are a number of carps at present in
the lake at Versailles, which have silver
rings attached to their noses, which rings
were placed there by La Belle Ferrioniere,
the mistress of Francis I, before the dis
covery of this continent. Recently an
eagle was shot near Belfort, which bore
about it a presumed evidence of great age.
Around its neck was a steel collar, upon
which was cut the date 1646, and also an
armorial hearing half effaced. The ancient
bird has been stuffed and presented to the
Museum Agram.

He sums up: “Thus stands the case : In
ternational law has been violated in two of
of its commanding rules—one securing the
equality of nations, and the other provid
ing against belligerent intervention, while
a distinctive fundamental principle of the
Constitution, by which the President is de
prived of a kingly prerogative, is disregard
ed, and this very kingly prerogative is as
serted by the President. This is the sim
plest statement. Looking still further at
the facts; we see that all this great diso
bedience has for its object the acquisition
of an outlymg tropical island, with a large
promise of wealth, and that in carrying out
this scheme our Republic has forcibly
maintained a usurper in power, that he
might sell his country, and has dealt a
blow at the independence of the black Re
public of Hayti, which, besides being a
wrong to that Republic, was an insult to
the African race. And all this has been
done'by prerogative alone, without the
authority of |an act of Congress. If such
a transaction, many-headed in wroug, can
escape judgment, it is difficult to see what
securities remain. What ot her sacred rule
of International law may not be violated ?
What other foreign nation may not
be struck at? What other belligerent
menace may not be hurled ? What other
kingly prerogative may not be seized
In the course of his speech, enlarging upon
the declaration that the President had
placed himself at the head of a more power
ful and costly Ku Klnx than those of the
South, he proceeded: “ Had the President
been so inspired as to bestow ou the South
ern Unionists, white and black, one-half
the time in zeal, personal attention, per
sonal effort and personal intercession that
he has bestowed upon his attempt to obtain
half an island in the Carribean Sea, our
Southern Ku Klnx would have existed in
name only, while tranquility would have
reigned everywhere within our borders ”
[General applause in the galleries and
hlsses.l
The Vice-President said the Uhair can
not consent that there shall be manifesta
tions of approval or disapproval in the gal
leries, and he reprehends one as promptly
as the other. If they are repeated the Chair
must enforce the order of the Senate.
Sumner proceeded : “Now, as I desire the
suppression of the Ku Klux wherever it
shows itself, and the elevation of the Afri
can race, I insist that the Presidential
scheme which installs the Ku Klux on the
coast of St. Domingo, and which at the
same time insults the African race in the
black Republic shall be represented, I
speak now of that Ku Klux of which the
President is the declared head, and I speak
for the African race whom the President
has trampled down. Is there any Senator
in earnest against the Ku Klux ? Let him
arrest it on the coast of St. Domingo. Is
there any Senator ready at all times to seek
the elevation of the African race ? Here is
the occasion for his best efforts.”

INVIGORATE THE RESPONSIBLE ORGAN.
THE STOMACH IS THE RESPONSIBLE OR
GAN of the system. If the diges ion is imperfect,
every memter, every g'and, every muscle, every
nerve and fibre is moie or leu, out of order. All the
fluids are de-praved. The brain is clouded The
spirits are depressed. All and yspeptics know this to be
the truth. It is not, however, halt the truth. Col
umn s would be required to enumerate the pains and
penalties of dyspepsia, nor could any pen do them
justice. Tens of thousands feel them ; no man can
describe them.
Can tbey be prevent, and ? Can they be relieved f
Can they be banished at once and forever ? Unques
ti inably they cm. No d>speptic has ever taken
HOSTETTERS STOMACH BITTERS in vain.
Believe no one who says ill complaint is incurable.
This great vegetable stomachic will eradicate it—is
eradicating it in thousands of cases over which medi
cal practitioners have shaken their heads omincu !y,
saying “ Nothing can be done.”
The facul y has its fallacies. One of them is that
indigestiou is the most difficult of all the ordinary ail
ments of mankind to com hat and subdue. This is a
mistake. Nothing can be easier than to conquer it if
the true specific tie administered. The vegetable
combination which has become famous throughout
the civiliz and world as HOSTETTEK’S STOMACH
BITTERS, is an antidote to the disease which has
never been known 'o fail, and foitunately it is every
where procurable. If you wish Io fool with the dys
pepsia, try the pharmacopoeia prescrip'ions. If you
want to root it out and prevent its recurrence, take
the Bitters daily. I here is no discount on the testi
mony in its favor. If theie is a man or woman who
has ever t ie ! it for indigestion without being bene
fitted, the fact has not iranspired. Universal uncon
tiadicted praise avouches its wonderful tonic virtues.

“As purely literary wot kg, these historical
romances possess a hitch degree of merit. They
read like genuine histories.” — Catholic. World.
“ They are correct descriptions of the coun
tries and the people described.”— Herald.
•2. —They are Fnlerlalnine.
“ We regard these books as among the best
and most entertaining novels of the day.”—
Springfield Republican.
“ The reader is at once fascinated and held
spell-bound uutil the volume is completed.”-
Free Pu ts
“Theie is no dull chapter ir. it.” —Uiica Her
ald.
3. —They are Mirrors *>t the Times
“ The study which enables the author to de
lint ate so xccur-tel.v the emotions and incen
tives to action which moved men and women
of a past age, must be close and uutinug, and
Louisa Muhlbach shows in allot her works a
perfection which carries the reader iuto the
very presence of the ehaiacters represent
ed.” —Syracuse Journal.
4. They arc Historically Correct.
“ Historically correct, and as entirlaiuinp as
many of the volumes of Sir Walter Scott.”—

diligently studied the secret histories of the
times and countries of which she .writes, and
her task is done well and effectively.”— Wor

knowledge ot character os Louisa Muhlbach
possesses.” —Public Ledger.
6. They are full of Imagination.
“ She is not only the skillful kuner, bnt a

“ The style of 'his writer, tor purity, perspi

its charming style, but on its general harmony
of composition.” —Day Book.
Ifl.-Kverybodv in Reading Them.

tation, and are read with avidity.” —Springfield
