their wives and children, and favors tho rich in

becomes a law, and goes into operation, it will, as
it ought to, kill, politically, every man who votes
for it" -
Information from the city of Mexico is to the ef?
fect that MATTWTTJAN intends to issue a;' nsw pro?
clamation taking stronger grounds fchon thoso as?
sumed at Orizaba. The Cabinet decided in favor
of his remaining in Mexico. It was rumored that
HmAsiON was disaffected. The garrisons and au?
thorities of TresnQlo. and Flotoq?i had given in
their adhesion to JUAREZ over OBTEOA. Cn the re?
treat of MEJIA, with his division, through San Fe?
lipe, the jails were thrown open and the prisoners
were .enlisted. Two thousand dollars, were de?

the money was forthcoming. ~
In . Baltimore, it appears, thoy are about to in

nance providing for the insurance of the members

companies, said insurance company to be selected
"by the Board of Fire Commissioners. It is also
provided that the money necessary to effect tho in?
surance bo taken out of the levy of 1867, and ont

TIM-Baltimore Sun of Monday says: "Tho City
Council on Saturday appropriated ?2500 to aid in
?nearing the harbor and river of ice, but the storm
of Saturday night and tho moderate temperature
of yesterday .will most probably render its nae tm

appears to be ' the gorging of drift ice below, in
the vicinity of Fort Carroll, and tho immense field
of floating ice coming ont of the Susquehanna.

CHARLESTON.
THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 7,1387.
~^WE P?BLIBH to-day tho full proposition for Re?
construction, which has beon reforrod to before in
our telegraphic columns. Wo aro authorized to
Btato that tho proposition has met with the ap?
proval of tho President and many of tho promi?
nent members of Congress. It also has tho
sanction of Gav. OBE of our State, Gov. MARVIN
of Florida, ex-Gov. PARSONS of Alabama, ex
Gov. SHARKEY of Mississippi, and other loading
Southern politicians, and it is quito probable that
the Legislature of North Carolina will adopt it,
as it is now before thal body.
SOUTH CAROLINA. LOYALISTS.
As wo have predicted on several occasions, Mr.
SUMNER at last has presented that "petition from
citizens of Ssuth Carolina, asking for the ostob
lisumoot or a loyal government" in that State.
Tho dispatch wdlbe found in our telegraphic col?
umns this morning,
Who are tho petititioners ? The people of South
Carolina would Uko to know. Why do thoy not lei
their light shine, and come forth and profess thou
faith before all men ? The people are much in?
terested in this matter, and should not be kept ir
tho dark Let not the gentlemen bo afraid
Neither tar nor feathers await them. There is nc
chance for a martyr's crctwn. But wo respectful!}
suggest that it is timo to put away tho dari
lantern.
DELMVAKS.
This little State, friendly always to the South,
one of our fellow-sufferers during tho lato war,
and now, to a great extent, bearing the same bur?
den with us,-merits moro attention at our handt
than we aro in tho habit of giving it. We aie in'
debted to a friend for a copy of tho Weekly Re?
publican, of January^!, published in Wilmington,
Delaware, containing tho inaugural address o!
. Governor SAUMBTJRY, which is deeply interesting
[ and has thc. true ring of sound Democratic doc?
trine. He gives expression to a dignified protos
[ against the recklessly aggressive legislation o
Congross. Ho concludes with the following para
. graph:
If Congress shall be brought to respect ind ob
[ serve the constitutional limitations upon its pow
era, and the rights reserved to the States and th?
?ieople shall ba maintained and upheld, wo ma;
ook forward to a future of unparalleled prosperit;
and greatness, and transmit to posterity tho hon t
ago of freedom baqueatlied to us by the f "'ers o
' the Republic; but, if wc are untrue to our <.'. os, i
i we permit our S'.aio Governments to be over
, thrown, and part wi?a,the protection and securit;
they afforded us in t?rtfipast, and hold our right'
" only by tho tenure ol congressional pleasuro, tb
spirit of free institutions w.ll have fled, and tin
genius of liberty, excluded from the land, willhavi
' become an exile from ovr shores, nover to return.
"CONFEDERATE UNIFORMS."
? _
? We had occasion, a few days ago, to refer to th
k remarks of tho New York Tribune, relative to th
late difficulty on the CHEVXS plantation, near Sa
? vannah. It refused to publish the accounts givei
-, in the Savannah papers, and discharged tho sub
1 ject by saying that in any difficulty between Gen
7 TIIXSON and the freodmon, the former must b
! considered in the wrong, and that United State
! troops should not be sunt against freedmen oi
' ph-o tn. tiona.
In its issue of Saturday last we find the follow
ing from a private letter in this city, giving a nei
version to the affair, and at the same time promu!
' gating sundry other mendacious pieces of inteUi
genoe:
The trouble on the Savannah River was easily
i settlod by G?rerai Scott, tho Commissioner o
Freedmen. Somo officer sent a squad of soldier
to a plantation under charge of an ex-rebel officer
and the negroes, who had moro sense than th<
other persons concerned, took exceptions to bein?
killed by United Slates soldiers under a rebel offi
. cer. Day before yesterday a young fellow rode u]
and down King street, Charleston, an hour or tw<
in full Confederate uniform, coat, trowsers, ca]
- and pjl, with at least four dozon brass buttons oi
, his porson. Two colored orderlies from Genera
Scott's headquarters were bs:.ton in one day whih
carrying orders down town. They now carry then
muskets wherever they go. Both tho assailant!
have been arrested by the Commissioner of Freed?
men.
As regards the CHEVEP affair, we have -.nothing
further to say at this time, leaving that for om
Savannah exchanges; bat we happen to knov
something about the laat-mentioned report. Th?
r facts are, in brief, as follows : A loyal citizen o:
Kentucky, a temporary resident of this city, wai
walking along quietly, when he was jostled by tw<
negro soldiers, off the sidewalk; ho remonstrated
they drew their bayonets, and he his pistol. Th?
negroes wei? not on duty at the time. The gen
?eman was arrested, it is true, and brought to tria
on the day after, and promptly acquitted. Part ol
the testimony given in his favor was by freedmen,
who witnessed the entire affair.
But the Confederate nnifonnsl Ahl Whai
about them ? Why, just this : There are a gre.ii
many young men, and some old men, little boys,
and somo of the most loyal negroes about here,
who wear coats and jackets of grey cloth-not from
any spirit of bravado, bnt purely and solely be?
cause the close of the war lound them with those
. groy clothes on their bada,-the remainder of theil
wardrobe was destroyed or stol-n by Mesara.
SHERMAN & Co., and they have not since had mo?
ney enough to purchase new snits of Ihe loyal hue
In the city these grey coats usually have been
shorn of their late outfit of shihing "staff buttons,"
sober black lastings having taken their place; but
occasionally an ex-Confederate comes in from the
rural districts, with brass buttons, but no'-one
(except tho Tribune's correspondent) sees disloy?
alty in these old brass buttons. We have not fbi
more than a year, seen any insignia of rank (which
aro essential parts of a uniform). But a certain
olass of persons can always see whatever they may
wish to see, whether it is uniform angelic perfec?
tion in blacks, or persistent disloyalty in ex-Con?
federates. EPHBAZU is -joined to his idols, let him
alone.
TAXES.
"And it came topase in those days that there
went out a decree that all the world bo taxed." So
says the scripture ; and we are sure all our readers
will concur with us in saying that the above state?
ment is as true as gospel, even aa applied to theso
days. The people of the United States .before the
war felt tho weight of taxation perhaps as little as
tho inhabitants of any civilized country in the
world. ThiB was natural, when it.is considered
that this was formerly a free country, whero tho
people elected their rnJ?rB and administrative
officers of every grad?,from a county tax collec?
tor to tho Chief Magistrate of the Republic ; and
when we moreover bear in mind that we scarcely
had any national debt, a very small standing army,
no royal,,"civil list," and hut fews if any. pension?
ers. There were then ho '^ational" sohools,"no
freedmen's bureaux, and no mili tory romrxdsaions.
Congress was the only spoiled child of tho na?
tion,-tho prodigal son; who spent roonoy some?
what freely-bnt Undo Sam waa considered in easy
circumstances, and his numerous nephews were
disposed to look leniently upon thia Congressional
extravagance, ovon whWitaeee said gentlemen,
not knowing how otherwise to appropriate the sur?
plus revenue, voted themselves each, $10/100 worth
of bewks and stationery. We speak frommemory,
and the amount may bo more or less!
Another reason why this burdon fell ao'lighfly,
was because there was then no direct tax wha?
ever. The United State's Government collected its
revenue entirely through its custom house
officer?^am?*lthcraghWfflymte?lgent man'- know
very Veil that? ho was paying a tax every time rib'
bought a satin vest, a broadcloth coat, muslin cur?
tains, - French merinos, or Havana segara, tito
imposition of these taxes was, in a groat measure,
voluntary; the strict professor of free trado prin?
cipios could defraud ihe revenue , by simply fore?
going the.uee of those luxuries; and. though he waa
ever soften ? man, Uncle Sam could not get a cent
from him. ,
But we have changed au this. There is now a
gigii.tic national debt, to pay tito mere interest of
which generations to como must be heavily tax-,
ed. Tho tariff has beei grortly increased, and is
on tho ovo of receiving another upward impetus.
That this is done moro for tho purpose of enrich?
ing Northern manufacturers than to produce an
increase of national revenue, can bo little consola?
tion to ns. Wo havo an Intornal Kovenue Bureau,
exercising paternal supervision ovor ovory branch
of business, on overy product of industry, over all
arts, sciences, trades and professions. Parlor
matches and chow-chow pickles, Brandrot?i'r. pills
and gin cocktails, colton osnabuigs, Monongahela,
and Yankoo brogans, aro all inspeotod, taxed and
?tamped, before they arc prcnouncod fit for usc.
Then there is an income tax, and a tax on sales,
licensor, pat?nts, and what not all besides. A
thousand ways of levying tribute from the unfor?
tunate individual who finds hinisolf thrown on
these overtaxed American shores. Quoth tho tax
man (always poetical, as wo know from experi?
ence), "The world is mino oyster ! Shell out."
Tho Stato tax also, horotoforo light, is now vory
onerous, and tho more so bocauso tho bill impos?
ing it was unwisely, inconsiderately, and hastily
concocted, lt boars unequally on difiero At sec?
tions of thc Stato. Tho city and its interests are
treated with marked injustice, lt was a shame?
fully narrow-minded and short-sighted polioy that
could dictate huon a tax bill. Since we last write
on this subject wo havo beon informed that some
of the mombers of our city delegation did their ut?
most to induce tho Legislature to modify some of
tho most objectionable features of tho bill, but
failed of success. Wo still think, liowevor, that if
these gontlomen had come up to a full sense of
their duty to their constituents, and had kept this
bill cloarly in viow through tho ontiro session, es?
pecially if they had acted in concert,-thoy could
not have thus failed of success.
Wo soo, in tho transactions of the Board of
Trado on Tuesday evening last, a resolution was
adopted requesting the Committee on Grievances
(of that Society) to report what romedy, if any,
eau be suggasted whereby the merchants may bo
relieved from tho onerous and impolitic tax of ten
por cent, upon tho sales of liquors. Wo under?
stand the resolution was objected to upon the
ground that the Board of Trade had nothing to do
with tro matter; that tho tax was imposed by the
Legislature, and tho Boord not com petont to de?
claro tho law unconstitutional. Wo cannot see the
force of this objection. It would seem to us that
it was within tho province of tho Boord of Trado,
Chamber of Commerce, or any other body of mer?
chants, to take such questions into consideration.
They could,not do so before the passage of the Tax
Act, because all witnesses agree in tho statement
that the Bill was harried through tho two Houses
in such hot haste that it would have boon impossi?
ble ovon to calla special meeting of the Board 01
Chamber, with a view of procuring and tendering
advice to tho Committee who hod this Bill under
consideration. Evorybody acknowledges the im?
practicability of some of tho provisions of thie
Bill; yet it is said that tho Board of Trado has
nothing to do with it. Tho merchants of Charles?
ton have a right to protest e gainst this law. Thej
can refuso payment of these taxes and stand suit;
and it would seem to us that nono of theso stops
should be taken except upon maturo reflection and
proper consultation. A froo interchango of opin?
ions between mon of experience, of largo financial
f I and commercial knowledge, upon a subject of such
universal interest, will not be without its uses,
even though thoir action cannot reach the Legisla?
ture before next winter.

quality of the Soline Oil: -

steady and beautiful soft light, and I eau say from expe?
rience that the article obtained from you is notexplosive,
but ia perfectly safo in the hands of any one.
Reepe, tfully,
REV. A. PAUL BEPITON.
