Information from the city of Mexico is to tho of
feet that MAXIMILIAN intends to issue a new pro
clamation taking stronger grounds than those as
sumed at Orizaba. The Cabinet decided in favo:
of his remaining in Mexico. It was rumored tba
MTKAMQN was disaffected. The; garrisons and au
thorities of Tresnillo and Flo toqui.-'had given h
their adhesion to JUAEEZ over OBZEOA. On the re
treat of MEJIA, with' his division, through San Fe
tipe, the jails were thrown'open and'the prisonefi
were enlisted. Two) thousand .dollars were de
mandod from the citizens, but, as all- of it coule
not be raised, three citizens were ordered to bi
shot. ' Before the shooting took place, however
the money was forthcoming. .
In Baltimore, it appears, they are about to in
insure the lives of their firemen. The Sun, of tht
4th, says : "In tho first branch of tho City Conn
eil, on Saturday, Mr. BANKAED submitted an ordi
nance providing for the insurance of the membori
of the ^aid-fire department, .lt provides that im
mediately on the passage of the ordinance each o
the active firemen attached to the several engini

their lives insured, to the amount of two thousane
dollars, in some one of the most reliable inBuranci
companies, said insurance company to be selectee
by the Board of Fire ConuuisBioners. Itisalsi
provided that the money necessary to effect the in
miranee be taken out of the levy of 1867, and ou
of the respective levies for iraeceeding years."
. The Baltimore Sun of Monday says: "The City
Council on Saturday appropriated $2500 to aid ii
clearing the harbor and river of ice, but the stern
of Saturday night and the moderate temperatun
of yesterday will most probably render its use mi
necessary. The troublo just now tonavigatioi
appears to be the gorging of drift ice below, ii

THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 7,1867.
WE PUBLISH to-day tho fnU proposition for Re?
construction, which has been referred to before in
our telegraphic columns. We are authorized te
I state that the propopition has met with the ap?
proval of the President and many of the promi
i nent members of Congross. It also has the
sanction of Gov. Omi of our State, Gov. MAEVTH
of Florida, ex-Gov. PARSONS of Alabama, ex
Gov. SHASSKE? of Mississippi, and other leading
Southern politicians, and it is quite probable that
the Legislature of North Carolina will adopt it,
as it is now before that body.
SOVTH CAROLINA LOYALISTS.
As we have prcdictod on several occasions, Mr.
Sr.-arBB at last has presented that "petition from
citizens of South Carolina, asking for the oatab
I lishment of a loyal government" in that State.
The dispatch will be found ia our telegraphic col
I urana this morning, 1
Who are the petitioners V The people of South
Carolina would like to know. Why do they not let
their fight shino, and come forth end profess their
faith before all men ? The people are . much in?
terested in thia matter, and ahould not be kept in
the dark. Lei not tho gentlemen be afraid.
Neither tar nor feathers await them. There is no
chance for a martyr's crown. . But we respectfully
suggest that it is time to put away the dark
lantern.
DELA WARE.
This little State, friendly always to the South,
one of our feUow-sufferers during the late war,
and now, to a great extent, bearing the same bur*
den with us,-merits more attention at our nandi
than we are in the habit of giving it. We aie in?
debted to a friend for a copy of tho Weekly Re?
publican, of January 24, published , in W?mington,
Dela war o,? containing the inaugural address oJ
Governor SAUWBUEY, which is deeply interesting,
and has the .true ring of sound "Democratic doc?
trine. He gives expression to a dignified protcaf
agaiuat the recklessly aggressive legislation o'
Congress. He concludes with the following para?
graph:
If Congress shall be brought to respect and ob?
serve the constitutional limitations upon its pow?
ers, and the rights reserved to the States and the
f)6oplo shall be maintained and upheld, we ma]
ook forward to a future of unparalleled prosperity
and greatness, and transmit to posterity the nerit
age of freedom bequeathed to us by the fathers o
the Republic; but, if we aro untrue to ourselves, i
we permit our State Governments to be over
thrown, and parivwith the protection and security
they afforded us in the past, and hold our righti
only by the tenure of congressional pleasure, Chi
' spirit of free institutions will have fled, and thi
genius of liberty, excluded from the land, will ha vi
ecome an exile from our shores, never to return.
?.CONFEDERATE UNIFORMS."
We had occasion, a.few days ago, to refer to tb
remarks of the New York' Tribune, relative to tb
lato difficulty on the CEHVT.3 pia?itation, near Sa
vannah. It refused to publish the accounts give]
in the Savannah'papers, and discharged the sub
ject by saying that in any difficulty between Gou
TILLS ON and', the ; freedmen, .the. former- must b
considered in the wrong, and that United State
troops should not be sent against freedmen o;
plantations.
In its issue of Saturday last wa 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 intel!
gence:, .
i? The trouble on the Savannah River was eas il
settled by General Scott, the Commissioner c
Freedmen. Some officer sent a squad of soldier
to a plantation under charge of an ex-rebel office:
and the negroes, who had more sense than th
other persons concerned, took exceptions to bein,
killed by United States soldiers under a rebel off
cer. Day before yesterday a young follow rode u|
and down King street, Charleston, an hour or twi
in full Confederate uniform, coat, trowaers, ca]
. and all, with at least four dozen braes buttons OJ
h^s person. Two colored orderlies from Genors
Scott's heid quarters were basten in one day whil
carrying orders down town. Thev now carry thei
muskets wherever they go. Both tho assailant
have been arrested by tho Commissioner of Freed
tmen.
As regards the CHEVES affair, wo have nothin?
furthor to say at this time, leaving that for ou
Savannah exchanges; but wo happen to knoi
something about the last-mentioned report. Th
I'fasts are, in brief, as follows: A loyal citizen c
Kentucky, a temporary resident vt this city, wa
, . walking along quietly, when he was jostled by tw
[ J negro soldiers, oft' the sidowalk; he remonstrated
they drow their bayonets, and he his pistol. Th
negroes were not on duty at tho time. The ger
tleman was arrested, it is true, and brought to tr?
on tho day after, and promptly acquitted. Part c
. the testimony given in his favor was by freedmen
_ who witnessed the entire affair.
. But the Confederate uniforaul Ah! Wha
about them ? Why, just this : There are a grea
many young mea, and some old men, little boye
and some of the most loyal negroes about here
who wear coats and jackets of grey cloth-not froc
any spirit , of bravado, ' but purely and' solely be
cause the cloee of tho war found them with thea
r j grey clothes on their backs,-the remainder of thei
waiaruL? was destroyed or stolcn by llessri
SHEUMA?C & Co., and they have not since had mc
ney enough to purchase new suits of the loyal hun
! In the citj these grey coats usually have bee;
[ shorn of their lato outfit of shining "staff buttons,
t sober black lasting* having taken their plaoe; bc
j occasionally an ex-Confederate comes in from th
rural districts, with brass buttons, but no- on
(except the Tribune's correspondent) sees disloj
j j atty in these old brass buttons. Wo have not fo
j j more than a year seen any insignia of rank (whic!
aro essential parts of a uniform). But a cortai
class of persons can always see whatever they ma
wish to see, whother it is uniform angelic perfoc
tioH in blacks, or persistent disloyalty in ex-Cor
P - federates. EPHRAIM is joined to his idols, Jet hil
t [alone.
TAXES.
"And it came to poss in those days that thor
went out a decroe that all the world be taxed." 8
says the scripture ; and wo are sure all our reader
wjll concur with us in saying that the above statt
meni7ia.;astrae as gospel, oven as applied to tb es
9 j days. . TJhe-pe?p\e of tho United States before tb
war felt the weight "of taxat ion perhaps as little a
the inhabitants of any civilized country in th
world. This was natural, when it ia consid?re
that this was formerly a free country, where th
peopl? elected their rulers and administrativ
officers of every grade, from a oounty tax collec
tor to the Chief Magistrate of the Republic ; io
when we moreover bear w mind that we Beares!
had any national debt, avery small standing a:.T?<
ne royal "civil hat," and but few if any pensku
ers. There were then no "national" ichools, n
freedmen's bureaux, and no military commission!
Congress was the only spo?bd cb?d of the nj
J tion,-the. prodigal son, who spent money somf
what freely-but Uncle Sam waa considered in eas
circumstances, and his numerous nephews wei
disposed to look lonien'tly upon this Congressioni
.extravagance, even when those said gentlemei
not knowing how otherwise to appropriate tho sua
niue revenue, voted themselves each $10,000 wart,
of books and stationery. Wo speak from memon
and tho amount may be moro or less.
Another reason why this burden fell so ligbth
waB because there waa Ihen no direct tax whai
ever. The United Stn tes Government collected it
revenuo entiroly threugh its custom hom
officers; and although overy intelligent man lino
very well thnt he waa paying n tax every time h
bought a satin vest, a broadcloth coat, muslin eui
tains, French merinos, or Havana segare, lb
imposition of theso tax? was, in a great measur:
voluntary; the strict profesaor of free trade prix
ciples could defraud the revenue by simply lore
going tho uso of thea? luxuries; aud though he m
ever so rich a man, Unolo Sam could not get a cei
from him.
But wo have changed all this. There is now
gigiutic national debt, to pay tho mero interest (
which generations to come must bo heavily ta?
od. Tho tariff has been greatly increased, and i
on tlie OYO or receiving anotnor upward impetus.
That this is dono more for tho purpose of eurich
inir Northern manufacturers than to produce an
increase of natioual revenuo, can he little consola?
tion to ?B. "We have an Internal Revenue Bureau,
exorcising paternal supervision ovor every branch
of business, on every product of industry, over all
Lvts, sciences, trades and professions. Parlor
matches and chow-chow pickles, Brandroth's pilli
and gin cocktails, cotton oBnabuxgs. Monongahela,
and Yankee brogans, are all inspected, taxed and
stamped, before they are pronounced fit for uso.
Then there is an income tax, and a tax on sales,
licenses, patents, and what not all besides. A
thousand ways of levying tributo from tho unfor?
tunate mdividual who finds himself thrown on
these overtaxed American shores. Quoth the tax
man (always poetical, as we know from experi?
ence), "The world ia mino oj-ster I Sholl out."
The State tax also, heretofore fight, is now very
onorous, and the moro so because tho bill impos?
ing it was unwisely, ineonsiderately, and hastily
concocted, lt bears unequally on differer^ sec?
tions of the State. Tho ci ny and its interests are
treated with marked injustice It was a shame?
fully narrow-minded and short-sighted policy that
c : uki dictate such a tax biih Since wo last wrote
on this subject wo havo beeu informed that some
of the n: ombors of our city delegation did their ut?
most to induce tho Legislature to modify a o mo of
the most objectionable features of. the bill, but
failed of SUCCOSB. We still think, howovor, that if
thase gentlemen had come up to a full sense of
their duty to choir constituents, and had kept this
bill clearly in view through the entire session, es?
pecially if they had actad in concert,-they could
not have thus failed of success.
We see, in the tran s a? tiona of the Board o?
Trade on Tuesday evening last, a resolution was
adopted requesting the Committee on Grievances
(of that Society) to report what remedy, if any,
can be suggastod whereby the merchants may be
relieved from the onerous and impolitic tax of ten
per cent, upon the sales of liquors. Wo under?
stand the resolution was objected to upon thc
ground that the Board of Trade bad nothing to dc
with tt e matter; that the tax was imposed by thc
Legislature, and the Board not competent to de?
clare the law unconstitutional. Wo cannot soe thc
force of this objection. It would seem to us thal
it was within the province of the Board of Trade
Chamber of Commerce, or any other body of mer?
chants, to take such questions into consideration
They could not do so before tho passage of the Ta:
Act, because all witnesses agreo in tho a tatemen1
that the Bill ,was hurried through tho two Housei
in such hot haste that it would havo been imp?ssi
.bio even to calla special meeting of the Board oi
Chamber, with a view of procuring and tenderinj
advice to the Committee who had this Bill undo:
consideration. Everybody acknowledges the im
practicability of some of the provisions of thi
Bill; yet it is said that tho Board of Trade hu
nothing to do with it. The mord?ante of CharleB
ton have a right to protest against this law. The;
can refuse- payment of these taxes and stand suit
and it would seem to us that nene of these step
should be taken except upon mature reflection am
propor consultation.. A free interchango of opin
ions between men of experience, of large financia
und commercial knowledgo, upon a subject of sue]
universal interest, will not be .without its usos
even though their action cannot roach the Legisla
cure before next winter. .
