Tlie New Tttrirr BUI.
Tho new Revenue bill Introduced
In Congress by Mr. Dawes seems to
meet with very general opposition.
It only directly affects tho South in
two particulars, to-wit: the increase
of the tax on tobacco and whiskey.
Tho Increase tax on tobacco Is not
very groat, it being only four cents
added to tho already enormous tux of
twenty cents, making the lax now
twenty-four cents per pound. The
amount of tobacco raised and con
sumed in tiro United States is con
siderable, and tills increased tux will
amount to a goodly sum.
Tho most important part of tho en
tire bill is tho increase of tax on dis
tilled liquors. It proposes to tax all
liquors, upon which tax lias not al
ready been paid at the passage of the
bill, one dollar per gallon, whether in
distilleries, in the hands of dealers or
bonded warehouses. This part of
tho hill brings with it increased oppo
sition, for usido from tho protests of
the manufacturers, the average
American statesman cannot live well j
without it. Whether or not the bill:
will pass is not known, but it is cor- j
tain that if Grant has not a good sup- ‘
ply of free whiskey on hand he will
veto it. Ho Is a daily consumer, by
the wholesale, and when he Is de
feated for the third term he will have
to pay for it like others.
The present tax on whiskey is sev
enty cents, and the increased is thir
ty; so hereafter the consumer will
have to pay more taxes to the gov- j
eminent. The distillers claim that it
is only paying illicit distilling a pro-;
inium, os it will drive many lawful j
distillers out of tho legitimate mar
ket.
The revenue from matches is to he
taken off, winch lakes off an annual
income of two and a half million dol
lars. The stamps on bank cheeks is
to be continued.

riers in tills State.
Section 1. Be It enact,*l by the General
Assembly of Georgia, That hereafter inns
held and owned by individuals, or their
lessees or tenants, shall not be held and
possessed and used for the benelltof the
iiuldir, but for the exclusive use and en
joyment and benefit of tho owners, or their
lessees or tenants; and that sueti owner,
lessee or tenant shall have the right ami
privilege to receive and accommodate only
such persons as ho or they may desire,
uml to be accommodated and lodged only
upon sueh terms and conditions as may
he agreed upon.
Sec. 9. Ho it further enacted, Ac., That
uli conveyances, upon hind or water, here
tofore held to be public, shall hereafter,
whim the same are held and owned by in
dividuals, joint stork companies, or corpo
rations composed of individual stockhold
ers, be held, deemed and considered pri
vate, and tin' owners or persons control
ling tlie same shall have the right to make
all rules and regulations touching and re
lating to the transportation of passengers
and baggage and goods as to them shall
seem meet; such rules and regulations to
lio consistent with tlie right of absolute
property therein, and also with Urn laws
of this State.
See. 3. Be it further enacted, ,Vr., That,
tho common law rule relating to and de
fining tlie duties of koefiers of inns and
common carriers in receiving fcuests and
transporting persons or goods, is hereby
abolished.
Tho above is a copy of the bill
introduced in the Senate by our fel
low-citizen, Hon. B. H. Crawford. It
is a strike in the Tight direction, and
shows him to be keenly alive to the
wants of the people, in trying to have
a law that will protect them from the
iniquities and unfairness of tho Civil
Rights bill, should it become a law.
His bill is u good one, but we fear it
would not stand the test of the con
stitution, if applied to it; for, first
of all, the constitution of the United
States and all laws passed by Con
gress shall have a .precedence over
State constitutions and State laws.
This being a State law, the courts
would hold the laws of the United
States parauuiuut to the State daw,
and decide the bill In conflict with, if
not in avoidance of, the Civil Rights
bill. From our heart flows the earn
est wish that such a bill as Mr. Craw
ford's could become a law; for In
such a law only is to be found se
curity from tho intrusions incident
to the Civil Rights bill, and the
necessary disturbances that will be
brought about by Its practical work
ings.
■ ♦ *
The Farmers.
There seems to be a general com
plaint among farmers yiat the recent
rains and unpropitious weather have
“ prevented a good start in preparing
their lands. Wo earnestly trust that
the seasons during tlie year will be
favorable to large crops of corn, and
such things os go to sustain the far-i
mer at home, and that each one will
make it his dut> to plant what lie :
consumes, in preference to cotton.
How many are going to carry on
their farming operations wo do not
know; for, in tho face of their pro
test, the Legislature has refused to
enact the lien law, which was almost
the salvation of many of them. They
will have to do tho very best they
can ; but we would like to see all who
need it, receive aid from our ware
housemen, notwithstanding the abo
lition of tlie lien law.
Thk New York Tribune pays the
speech of Senator Gordon the compli
ment of print ing it in full as one of
the ablest on tho Louisiana question
and the general condition of the South
delivered in Congress. It editorially
speaks thus of the young Senator,
who is winning golden opinions from
both North and South: “Senator Gor
don is a man of high character, and a
fair representative of the largo class
of Southern men of ability and cul
ture who have accepted in good faith
the results of the war, and are trying
to restore their States to full fellow
ship in the Union. Asa calm but el
oquent vindication of the South of to
day, his speech will repay perusal.”

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. l(i, 1575.
It will be old news by tlie time tills
reaches you, for mo to write that the
Usury bill has passed the House, us
your telegrams have already acquaint
ed you with the result. The bill pro-
I yoked a great deni of discussion, but
: passed by a vote of til yeas to -11 nays,
j Tho bill provides for a legal rate of
j seven per cent., and allows a special
contract for 12 per cent. This is much
■ bolter than 11 rut proposed, yet the
: limitation of twelve per cent, is wrong
1 on principle, for it acknowledges the
justice of a Legislative body fixing
the prieo u man shall ask for ids
money. Many amusing amendments
were offered, among them the follow
i ing’liy Dr. Colton, to show tho folly
. of restricting money:
i “That no person engaged in the va
rious trades of commercial or agrieul-
I tural pursuits shall charge a profit in
j excess of seven per cent, upon tho
! amount invested in the articles pro-,
posed or offered for sale.”
The Legislature is still wasting time
on prohibiting liquor selling hills.
None of them pass, yet they are flow
ing in, and of course eonsumo time in
their reading. Nothing of special in
terest is going on in eitiier House,
since the Usury.bill discussion.
To-uiorrow tho special order of the
day is tlie discussion of the bill to re
enact tho Lien law. There are uiuny
I petitions from the farmers and mor
; chants for its passage, but it is feared
that the wise Legislators will disre-
I gard the expressed wishes of the far
; mers, and kill the bill.
Atlanta is again crazy on the sub
ject of lectures and amusements. Af
ter ex-Gov. Vance’s elegant speech,
Dr. Hickman appears on the pro
gramme K> tell the Legislature how
to quit drinking whiskey. This is a
, theme much needed among them,
; and, if heeded, the people might be a
; little better off; but it is only consum
j ing gas to talk ou that subject in At-
J ianta.
| The ladies gave a splendid enter
tainment last night, denominating it
“Cupid's Lull, or the Valentine par
ty.” A dozen more entertainments
are spoken of for the week.
The public will be rejoiced over tlie
rumor that the Legislature will not
remain in session longer than the for
ty days and nights. At one timo it
was feared they would conclude to
hold over.
We had the pleasure of meeting the
Mayor of your city, Mr. Mellhenny, j
hero to-day. He is visiting Atlanta
on business. Occasional, j
Discussinci the political situation,!
the Springfield Republican comes to
this conclusion: “Tho average Amer- !
icon citizen is becoming very tired of i
a husk diet. Neither of the existing
parties is strong in itself; each is
strong in tho weakness of the other.
Tlie people are profoundly disgusted
with the party in power, but they are j
also profoundly distrustful of tho i
party out of power, if they take up!
with the Democracy next year it will j
be merely because tlie disgust gets i
the better of the distrust. A great I
political opportunity, we repeat. We :
dare say it will not be utilized."
Thk whole Baptist population of
the United States now exceeds 8,000,-
(HH) onc-ilfth of the entire population
of the nation. The statement is made
in a European journal, that the num
ber of Jews who have become Chris
tians in'T’russia is about 5,000; in Am
sterdam, Holland, C,4(H), and in Eng
land at least 3,000. More than pm of
these converted Jews have become
ministers in tlie established Church
uf England.
Thk Chicago Journal says that
Zueli. Chandler may be regarded as a
political corpse. And it may he ad
ded that the sooner the “demnitton
body” is buried out of sight the bet
ter for the purity of the atmosphere.
Or that $750,000 of Pacific Mail
money, Irwin, it is said, paid the edi
tor of the Philadelphia Press $25,000,
and to the editor of the Washington
C/tronwle $15,000; and this is the way
chevalier Forney got rich.

Wllilaiq* DepotKm In Alnska.
From Alaska comes the intelligence
of anew species of tyranny and injus-1
tieo on the part ot Federal military I
officers. Wherever Grant’s influence
extends, there may we expect injustice I
and outrageous interference. Major •
Joseph A . Campbell, Fourth Artillery.
,is Grant’s Alaska satrap at Sitka. Tlie,
law of tlie Territory is very stringent !
against the introduction of liquors,
anti empowers tlie military to seize all
liquors coming there, and to destroy
| them, and to arrest the parties inter- 1
jested. To protect the citizen, how
| over, in his civil rights, the law com-1
j mauds the military official to turn 1
over the arrested parties to the civil
' courts nearest Alaska, together with
a statement of the charges against;
him. This MnjorCnmpbtdl, however, j
acts as if lie were sole owner of Alas
ka ami all its inhabitants, and keeps
arrested parties in a miserable pen in
a half-starved condition, making no
effort to send them to the contiguous
civil courts of Washington Territory.
They are forced to do hard work,
and the bayonet is held rigidly over
them. Not long since ho condemned
to the buck-saw an old ex-Russian
lieutenant and subjected him to such
exposures that the old mart died. A
Southern gentleman who ventured to
say that this Alaska Butler kept, an
abundant supply of whiskey on hand,
himself was likewise condemned to
hard work on the woodpile, and sub
jected to all manner of insult and
hardship. Now this wretched tyrant
is under the orders of Gen. O. O. How
ard, the Christian military hero, who
did so much t?) for the freedmen at
one time. It is probable, however,
that Howard is afraid of Grant and
desires to carry out that usurper’s de
structive and tyrannical programme.
It is useless to say that this Alaska
military tyranny should be stopped.
It will prevail wherever Grant lias
any soldiers and until lie is turned
out of the White House. If he plays
Nero in equatorial regions, he will
Neroize at the North pole. It is the
man’s nature to be vindictive and ty
rannical.—Courier-Journal.

teresting fact that tlie total amount of
State, county, city and town taxes
collected in the United States in IS7O
was S2BO 591,000, which was about
seven dollars a head for tiic entire
population. The total amount of
these taxes collected in 1880 wus $94,-
186,000, which was about three dollars
a head for tile entire population. It
cost, therefore, more than twice as
much to care for a man in his State,
county and municipal relations in
1870 as it did ten years before. This
does not include Federal taxation.
