The Cotton Tax.
11. V. Johnson, in a lengthy ar
ticle in the Savannah News of the
12th inst- r criticises the policy of
the editor of that paper, in favor
ing the position taken by Mr. Mc-
Intyre, and gives the following as
the reasons for not accepting the
same:
1. In my judgment his amend
ment, should the bill pass, would
practically postpone almost indefi
nitely the determination and, settle
ment of the claims. There are in
the cotton States, according to the
most reliable statistics, not less than
two bundled and fifty thousand
cotton farms. This would make
two hundred and fifty thousand ca
ses. But in a vast majority of
them freedrnen would be entitled
to file their claims.also for the tax
paid on their shafes of the cotton
citps. Averaging' but four freed
men to the farm, it would swell the
number of cases to one million.
How long do you suppose it would
take the Board of Commissioners
to hear and dispose of such n dock
et ? . Who can fail to see that it
would require an indefinite period?
Hence, I thought, and still think*,
that the only certainty, the most
practicable mode of procedure is to
claim through factors. They rep
resent (each of them) from fifty to
hundreds of planters. In a majori
ty of cases they paid the tax as the
agents of their patrons. Their
names appear on the revenue Col
lector’s book ; and. therefore, the
number of cases would be immense
ly reduced and the mode of proof
simplified and made easy.
2. It is the established usage of
the Treasury Department to pay
claims to the party who can estab
lish them by proof, and not to go
behind the proof to adjudicate con
flicting rights set up by third per
sons. In my judgment it was best
to frame the bill in harmony with
this usage—giving general powers
to the Board of Commissioners to
so shape their examination as to
do justice to all'claimauts. No leg
islative body can safely attempt to
settle the fights of litigants, in all
cases, by statute. That is the prov
ince of judicial tribunals, who must
necessarily be invested with much
discretionary power. ’ Society must
trust s o their intelligence and integ
rity^
3. Nineteen million of this tax
belong, almost entirely, to factors
and merchants. It is the tax paid,
in .1865, upon cotton on hand at the
close of the war, which hud tx?en
disposed of by the planters irre
spective of the tax. la this large
amount cotton producers, with lew
exceptions, hare no interest. Hence
I thought it wise not to throw em
barassment in the way of a fair as-,
certainment of those entitled to that
portion ol the tax money, and that
the Board of CommissioneVs, not
Congress, was the appropriate tri
bunal for that purpose..
4. Mr. Mclntyre’s amendment,
while it would secure but' little ad
vantage to the producer over ajid
above what ho would enjoy under
the bill without it, Would be fatal
to the measure itself. I say but
little advantage, upon the assump
tion that those who have been em
ployed by factors and planters are
honest; on the assumption, also,
that the factors are honest and will
respond to their patrons. If these
assumptions are denied, let it be
done openly. For the demand that
the Board shall order the money
to be paid directly to the produ
cer, turn and twist it asyou may,
involves an imputation against the
trustworthiness, either of the factors
or of the attorneys whom they have
employed; for if these parties, be
honest the planters cannot suffer.
They will get their rights without
Mr. Mclntyre’s amendment
But his amendment would be fa
tal to the measure itself. To this
remark, founded on assurance
amounting to almost certain knowl
edge, let especial attention be giv
en. Why will it defeat the bill ?
A large proportion of the claims
(from one-half to eight-tenths)
wh’ch have been entrusted to those
who are co-operatiug for its pas
sage, are on account of taxes paid bj 7
factors for their patrons, under agree
ment with their agents or attornies.
The effect of .Mr, Mclntyre’s
amendment is to abrogate or ignore
their agreements aud supersede
their agents and attornies? When
this shall have been done, all these
agents and attornies will retire
from the field. They will retire be
cause their expectation of remuner
ation for their labor and expense
will have been blighted. Can Mr.
Mclntyre pass his bill without their
aid ?
Having stated a few reasons,
for the non-acceptance of Mr. Mc-
Intyre’s amendment I wish to cor
rect one or tfto n.is-statements go
ing ihe newspaper rounds, calcula
ted to poison the public mind.
One is, that some forty millions of
these claims are in the hands of
Northern people and will never re
turn to the South. Upon the ful
lest investigation I was able to make
I think I may confidently deuy this
allegation. A small amount is in
the hands of parties in New-York,
and perhaps Chicago, consisting of
taxes on cotton shipped under bond.
With this exception, every cotton
tax agent or company of whom I
know resides in the cotton region
of the South.
Another prevalent error is, that
the claims of the planters have been
bought up ‘-for a song” by specula
tors. If true, it would furnish no
good reason against refunding the
tax. But it is untrue. If it were
true, I think I should have found it
out; for I have been so situated as
to have acquired the information.
I know of no individual or compa
ny who have ever purchased a sin
gle claim. Who would have given
anything for them? If they are
valuable now, it is due to the efforts
of those agents who have underta
ken their collection —efforts which
probably never would have been
made by planters themselves.
Without intending to question the
uprightness of others, I may be per
mitted humbly to claim similar jus
tice for myself. I may be in error,
but I am conscious of integ
rity of purpose, and am as
ready, I trust, as any man to pro
tect the real interest of the people.
I want the-cotton tax refunded. If
I cannot have my own views car
’ried out, I will accept the best bill
I can get —any that will do substan
tial justice, and that can be passed.
No bill can be framed that would
suit all. Under any, there will be
cases of injustice and hardship.
But “half a loaf is better thau no
bread.” Respectfully, &c,
llersiikl Y. Johnson.
Warm-lleartep and How.—
Somebody having said that Brown
low was warm-hearted, the New
Orleans Times tell how. It says :
Brownlow’s warmth'would drive
the mercury out of a four-story
thermometer. It has a sulphurous
smell, and gleams with steelly scin
tillations, like boiling lead or bell
metal. When it speaketh out of
Brownlow’s mouth, it defiles and
scorches all it touches, its very tones
grating with the corroding squeaks,
of hell’s oilless hinges. Warin'
hearted ? 'So is Beelzebub ; so are
all the lost souls which Lucifer
stirs up occasionally down in Brown
low’s future home.
ftruiiijiwick and Albany
* Railroad.
The ease of R. B. Bullock, Gov
ernor, et. al. t vs. Jacob E. Dart, et
ui., commonly known as the Bruns
wick and Albany Railroad ease,and
Which has excited the deepest de
gree of interest, not only in our im
mediate community, but also in va
rious portions announced, in the Su
perior Court for this county
on Tuesday morning last. The
array of counsel was large, gif
ted and eminent. The bill in this
case, it will be remembered, was
filed at tbeinstanceof R. B. Bullock,
then Governor, in behalf, of the
Stats, general creditors- and stock
holders, to enjoin the sale.by piece
meal, of the property of the rail
road under sundry lien executions,
which were sued out by laborers on
the road. At the fall term of the
Court a master in Chancery, Col.
John C. Humph, was appointed to
audit all claims against the Rail-,
road Company 7 , and all persons hav
ing claims against the same were re
quired to file them with the Mas
ter by a specified day.
Tne Claims filed amounted in the
aggregate to near three millions of
dollars, and the magnitude of the
amount naturally intensified the.real
ly great interest excited by the com
mencement of the suit. The State
was represented by Hon. Clifford
Anderson, of Macon, Col. Arthur
Hood, of Cuthbert, and Messrs.
Hines and Ilobbs of Albany; t.he
general creditors Ly Jaeksou, Law
ton & Basinger, Hines & Hobbs,
A. Hood, A. O'. Bacon and Harris
& Davenport, Smith &' Meershoti
and Christian & Haynes; the bond
holders by Hon. O. A. Loehrane.
The various interests involved ren
dered quite a number and
variety of motious, orders, etc.,
which it is impossible to lay before
our readers. The questions invol
ved were ably argued by counsel in
terested. After two days’ argu
ment the case was continued.
The largest Claim filed with the
master agaiust the Railroad Com
pany was that of Henry Clews &
Co-., of New York, and amounted to
two millions seven hundred and odd
thousand dollars. This claim, it
alleged, is for money advanced
by Clews & Cos. to build the road.
This firm were most ably represen
ted by Hon. O. A. Loehrane.
It is highly probable .that a spe
cial term of the coui t will be held
about the last of August, at which
time the important Brunswick and
Albany Railroad case will be called.
Also an important suit between the
heirs of Hon. Thos. Butler King
and the M. & B. R. R. Company,

Editor Appeal .-—ln the Tele

May appears the following “ item
The claims of tbe-Cfriffia Daily News to
public appreciation, as well as its own good
sense and good taste are itnprognabiy set
forth in the following paragraph from its
issue of Sunday :
“We number among the ablest of our
exchanges both in and out of ihe State, the
Telegraph & Messenger at Macon. Jt is one
of the oldest journals in Georgia, and is con
ducted with marked ability and dignity, and
since its improvement in its local depart
ment, is characterized by as much enterprise
as.any of our State contemporaries. We
trust it may have unbounded success and
long contioue wbat, it for years has been —
a power in the land and a fine example of
able, courteous, dignified journalism. ”
As your readei S, or at least a
great many of them, are also read
ers of the Telegraph & Messenger,
they may be interested in this “ im
provement in the local department,”
and'having no doubt failed to dis
cover, wherein u consists, I pro
pose to tell tliem briefly what it is.
Their local columns have, until the
recent “ improvement,” been super
intended by southern men and Dem
ocrats. The spicy and “ improved”
articles that now appear there, are
manufactured by the inventive
brain of one of the vilest radicals
in Georgia. The “improvement,”
so far as their readers are 6on
cerned (save the able editor of
that mammoth daily—the Griffin
News) “ hath this extent-no more.”
The present local editor of the Tele
graph & Messenger is not only the
oretically but practically , a disci
ple of the great civil rights cham
pion of Massachusetts. He does
not deny his politics, but on the
contrary takes pleasure in assert
ing his opinions on all occasions.—
The editors of that paper condemn
ed the “ Georgia Democrat’’ for
patronizing Swayze, when at the
same time they had under this special
fostering care, a man who is doubt
less, at heart, much worse—upon the
equality question—that the editor
of the “ American Union.” lie cer
tainly is iq a position to do the Demo
cratic party teu fold more injury than
Swayze. And yet he is retained in
that position, by a paper which
claims to be one of the leading Dem
ocratic (?) journals of the Siate,
and whose editors boast of their .ex
treme party loyalty. I have- no
personal ill-feeling toward Mr.
Lloyd, and for Col. Jones I enter
tain none but the most kindly feel
ings. Indeed, if there is a man in
the\ world whom I esteem
more highly than almost auy other,
that man is Col.- 11. 11. Jones. But
poor old Tray had many friends
who would not have dealt him a
blow save under the circumstances
they" were dealt. The above article
was perhaps written, and undoubt
edly copied into the Telegraph &
Messenger, as a personal reflection
upon myself, and > duty to myself
demands this article at my hands. —
Hoping that I have enlightened
your readers as to the vast “ im
provement” of which they boast,
I am, very respectfully,
W. C. Gunn.
