That Fe deral War Tax.
A. W. R. Washington correspon
dent to the Telegraph and Messenger
says,
“John hhcmian sent to the Senate
yesterday a reply to a resolution of
that body adopted last week, givin
a statement of the “ direct taxes’’ sti
duo the Federal Government by the
States under an act passed in August,
1861. It shows that $2,725,104 are
still due, of which Georgia’s share is
$502,000, the largest sum of any ex
cept Alabama, which he says owes
$529,000. Sherman is evidently keen
to collect this tax and pleads almost
piteously for congressional action to
enable him to squeeze it out of the
“rebels.” It is c! argeable on land,
and Is a lien thereon until paid. He
also adds that the la-t legal suspen
sion ol' the collection of this lax ex
pired on January 1st, 18G9. I hard
ly think John will get his skinny
fingers on much cash from this source,
so long as both Houses are anti-Radi-
cal, but just let John’s gang get con
trol of all the departments of the gov
ernment and then look out lb' this
turn of the wheel.’’

vhich looks like slow work. On this
business alone 125 printers arc now
employed, each one having an assis
tant. These are divided into three
quads, each squad being on duty
eight hours at a time. The certificates
are printed in sheets, each one being
subjected to a heavy pressure for ten
hours before the first impression is
taken. Tl ei they are shut up in a
drying box and subjected to an in
tense heat. When taken out they are
thoroughly examined and all imper
fect ones thrown aside. Then the
edges arc trimmed by machinery, ot
course, and then the sheets are num
bered and dated at the rate of 12,000
impressions per day. The next step
is to the numbering machines, each
of which averages 4,000 impressions
per day. The hacks of the certificates
arc printed first, and enough of them
have already been finished to make
up the whole amount authorized to
be issued. The officials at the print

The Ordinary oy Banks County
on the Whiskey Question.—Capt.
Tom. Hill, the efficient Ordinary of
Banks county, has decided not to

Congress is doing little
nothing at this time. The
Tho Democrats are earnestly seeking
to bring about such legislation as will,
in some measure, bring relief to the
depressed condition of the country,
while the Republicans, more inter
ested in the next presidential cam
paign, than in the good nf the coun
try, have resorted to (filibustering in
order to prevent any general legists
tion, save the passage of the different
m nation bills. It is now thought
e session will in all probability
last for some weeks, if not months.
The Augusta Chronicle and Cons
stitutionalist analyses the whole cot
ton question in the following brief
paragraph:
“The Burke county planters who
have ploughed up corn to put in more
cottonlwill discover next winter that
cotton advances in prico for the
sjieculator but never for the pros
ducer.’’
The great flush and excitement in
the cotton market at this time, is only
an effort on the part of the specula
tors, to induce a larger area to be
planted in cotton than usual, or per
ch luce to gull some venturesome
farmers into a speculation upon fu
tures, and if our farmers do not look
■harp they will realize the force of
what our Augusta contemporary says,
.when it is too late.
Does It Fay to Raise CottonP
Many, if not most, of our Southern
planters give as an excuse for not
raising their own supplies, “that they
can buy them cheaper front the West
than they can raise them.** Then by
the same reasoning, why not buy
your coltont instead of raising it?
The cotton experience of the past few
years, goes to prove that it can be
bought, at certain seasons during the
year, for less than it costs to prodace
it. Taking this to bo true, then by
all means, let our formers sell out
their next crop, at what is now
offered for November futures, and
desired, they can buy the same
amount next winter from 2. to 3
cents less per pound than It will
bring in the market this time.
A Ruinous Custom
Farmers.
The reason our Southern planters
realize such small profits, if any, from
their cotton crops, is owing to a ruler
universal throughout the Southern
States, of making their guano notes
and commission merchants accounts,
generally, fr.ll due on the l>t of No
vember. These liabilities having to
be met by a prompt delivery on thi
date, of a l.irge pro]>ortion of their
cotton crop, it of course, so increases the
receipts as to depress the market to
the lowest possible prices, and from
which depression it does not rally,
until late in the next spring or sum
mer when the more rapid consump
tion of the crop, by the increasing de
mand on the part of the various cotton
mills throughout the country, brings
about a re-action in the market Let
this ruinous custom on the part of our
Southern farmers, of mak'ng all their
liabilities fall due ou the 1st of No
vember, be reformed, so as to enable
them to hold their crops for batter
prices, and then, and not until then,
will they begin to realize much profit
from cottcn growing. Let this reform
ation obtain, thus enabling the cotton
growers to become “bulls,’’ instead of
being "bears’’ in the market, and soon
shall we see the profits of the cotton
crops beiug realized to the producers
instead of to the speculators.
A Truce.
The author of the horse racing lit
erature of the Athens Chronicle, af
ter a very decided effort to alarm the
Northeast Georgia Fair and Stock
Association over an old an.l obsolete
law, at last discovers that his time is
too precious to be wasted in such dis-
oussions, that the Association don’t
scare “worth a cent, ” a id thus wise
ly concluding, raises the white flag
and calls for a truce ou the horsi-rac
ing question. Well, as the Captain’s
mind is doubtless engaged on larger
questions, and having at last been
convinced, that both he and his legal
adviser “slipped up” on the law this
time, wc can’t blame him for wanting
to retire the whole question. Well,
as it would be extremely uukind in
us not to accept a surrender so grace
fully and so willingly made, we do
so, with au assurance, on the part of
the Northeast Georgia Fair and Stock
Association, that it will ever most
highly appreciate the gratuitous ad
vertising which the Chronicle has
done fof this enterprise.
A Civil Rights Decision
An interesting decision of the civil
rights question has just been rendered
by Judge Erskine, of the United Stales
Court, at Savannah, Ga. A colored
woman, who took passage ou a steam
er, insisted upon staying on the
“white” deck instead ot going below
where quarters we:o provided for
the negroes, and the captain, there
fore, put her off at the first landing.
She brought suit for damages on the
ground that the captain had’no right
to enforce such a discrimination, but
the Judge decided that common car
riers are justified in providing differ
ent accommodations fur classes of
passengers, and restricting oacli class
to the quarters assigned it. Judge
Woods, cf the United Circuit Court,
had already rendered a decision, in
the same line, and holding that
equality does not mean identity and
that the State ia justified in maintain
ing serparate schools for the two ra
ces, restricting each race to its own.
ers, he bethought him of his good
friend Dowd, on whom he determined
to' call, but failed to find him at the
address he had received Mr. Dowd
called on Myles, however, ami it was
agreed that, together, they should go
to a friend of Mr. Dowd, who was a
diamond merchant. The diamond
dealer, whom they visited, agreed to
become the purchaser, and arranged
that Myles should come the following
morning early and bring the dia
monds. The following morning, ac
cordingly, Myle-', after tenderly kissing
his wile and children,’and stating that
be would be back at noon, left. Ex

astonished to find the wife heart-brok

tiou, “Where is lie ?” remains unan

New Yorkers are invited to wit

charge of $5, $2, or $1 per head, the
dedicatory services of the new Roman
Cathedral on Fifth avenue.
The Cathedral is truly magnificent,
and typifies to the pious mind, in the
beauties of its architecture, the de
lights of religion. It is, und- ubtedly,
the most beautiful building that lias,
for years, been erected for religious
purposes, and conveys volumes for the
earnestness and piety of our Romau
Catholic citizens.

THE TRIAL OF MRS. SMITH AND “COVE”
D.. BENNETT,
for the murder of Police Olficer
Smith, which'was suspended by the
sudden insanity of one of the jnrors,
has been renewed.
tiie murder.
On the first of August last Smith
was found in his bed dead, his tluoat
cut from ear to car, and on his head
was found a number of terrible
wounds. Mrs. Smith, his wile, was
sleeping by his side ; and slates that,
at some time during the night, a tali
man had entered the room, his face
covered with a witli cloth, who forced
something sweet into her month.—
Immedia-eiy after which she lost con
sciousness, and remembered nothing
further until she awoke and touched
his cold body.
THE EVIDENCE. ,
has brought out the facts that Smith
and his wife had lived unhappily
together—that Mrs. Smith had been
sufficiently intimate with other men
to arouse her husband's jealousy, ai d
to this la»t fact is due “Cove” Ben
nett’s connection with the murder.
It is charged that a quarrel had oc
curred between Smith and Bennett,
arising through tho intimacy of the
latter with Mrs. Smith; during which
8mith ejected Bennett from the
house. Bennett vowed to “get even
with him;’’ and the prosecution are
endeavoring to prove, from a desire to
revenge and lust for the wife, that lie
was a participant , if not the perjietra-
tor of the murder. The evidence
against him is slight, and rests on the
belief of one or two persons that they
saw him near the house on the night
of the miirdor. A curious phase iu
the case is, that the doctors, who ex
amined Smith’s body after his death,
declare their belief that Mrs. Smith
was physically incapable of dealing
blows as heavy as those which the
wounds indicated. u “I

adiie, the District of Columbia, and
aftyward determined to carry.tint
their new relations in Virginia, where
the State laws prohibit mar
riages. They were arrested, tried and
sentenced to State’s prison fir viola-
t'0> o' 1 W and, after conviction,
petitioned the United States' Judge
writ of habeas corpus
based on two grounds:. (1) that their
conviction was in violation ot the
14th amendment of the United States
Constitution';" aiid (2”) that the con
tract was entered into iu the District
of Columbia, and therefore they were
not amendable to Virginia laws. A3
heretofore published, Judge Httphcs,
in a carefully prepared and well di
gested opinion, decided adversely to
these petitioners on every point, and
his decision deserves more than a
passing notice on account of the im-
p irtant paints involved therein.
In the first place, Judge Hughes
decides that neither ihe fourteenth
amendment, nor any section of the
United States Constitution, can regu
late marriages in any State. That
such contracts must lie governed ex
clusively by the local laws of such
State as passed by its Legislature for
the well being of its society mid the
protection of its citizens. And in
making this decision he draws n clear
and distinct line between citizens ot
the United States and of the differ
ent individual Stales. lie holds that
the rights of a citizen of the Uuited
States are those which result only
from the fact that his State is one of
the United S ates, while the lights
of a citizen of a State are those
which belo.ig to him as a dis
tinct member of s icic y 1 lletico he
plainly concludes that u,.on the State
alone devolves the duty of protecting
its citizens and Its own society, or
that, in other words, there is no such
thing, strictly speaking, as a citizen of
the United States. This is a ie-af-
firming otthe principle heretofore de
cided in the United Stales Supreme
Court, and it is at this time a most
important one, for upon it ha9 hung
the gist of all the debates in Congress,
on the Democratic side, over the np-
5 rcpriation hills. This decision of
lulgc Hughes adds an influence to
the position there taken by the major
ity, which must make itself felt despite
tiie sophistries and repeated vetoes
of Mr. Hayes.
Iu the next place, the Judge decides
that an unlawful marriage in a State is
unlawful under all circumstances, no
matter where contracted A man
can not form snch a mnrrage in one
State where it may be allowed and
then claim immunity from law if he
should attempt lo force his unlawful
act upon the people of any other State
where hi3 act would be illegal. And
the Judge not onlv fortifies himself in
this position by citing the fact above
stated, viz: that marrago must be
governed by the laws and States them
selves relating thereto; but he makes
his position doubly clear by showing
that it a contrary principle was
allowed, a maringe regarded as inces
tuous in a certain State might have to
be endured, while a Mormon might
bring a whole tribe of wives from Salt
Lake City, and quarter them among
people who hold decent and civilized
ideas on the subject of polygamy, and
he could not be legally molested.
This argument we regard unanswer
able, and it is important in that it
will forever determine the fate mis
cegenation in the South. Of course
no white man or woman in the South,
possessed of a grain of self respect,
would ever consent to such a union ;
still there are many negrophilist in
other sections who would rejoice to
see the disgusting practice of misce
genation established in our midst if
possible. Such Os these would be only
too glad of the opportunity to carry
out their leveling nnd demoralizing
schemes by means of mixed marriages
in the Destrict of Columbia and else
where, and subsequently removals
within i' e limits of Southern States,
and then it popular indigation resented
tGe insult,: to raise aloud the- cry of
oppression of the poor African. This
decision effectually disposes of all
such hopes. v
