The motion gave rise to a long and earnest di . ? cuasion. Mr. Maguire was supported by Henry Fawcett and Sir George Bowry, but Messrs.

THE COTTON TAX-THE KENTUCKY DELEQATION-THE IMPEACHMENT EXCITEMENT-<VLL? OF BURKAU PROPERTY-A QUEER DECISION. WASHINGTON, November 24,-The following is Mr. Kelly's resolution: Besolced, That the welfare of the people, the -maintenanca of the faith and credit of the Govern? ment, requires the repeal of the tax imposed by the existing laws on cotton and the productions of mechanical and manufacturing industry. He said t ie wool interest will oppose the repeal tax. The election committee will not report on the Kentucky delegation until after the impeachment reports, when, unless the interests of the impeach? ers require exclusion, the delegation, except Major Young, from McKee's district, will doubtless bc admitted. The Impeachment Committee continued in ses? sion' to a lat? hour last night, and will meet again to-marrow morning and make a report daring thc day. There will be throe reports. The documenta ara volutninoty. Hean- tran&ac: ions have been mad? in gold, which th? report is expected to in? fluence, and a most feverish anxiety. extets. Ru? mors aro abundant, bnt the Committee have baf? fled the Haws hunters. Among other wild state? ments it ia said that the Bolls of New York have raised and invested $150,000 in securing one vote m th? Committee for impeachment. The probx biiitiee are that there haa been no recent changes, and that the Committee stand four for impeach? ment, three for a vote of censure, and two for quashing th? matter. LATEST.-To-night the impression that the Com? mittee will stand five for impeachment gains ground. It ia said that high official circles have intimations to that effect. General Albion P. Howe, of the Freedman Bu? reau, has gone South to sell Bureau property turn? ed over to it at the close of the war for the school fond. The first sale occurs on the Sd of Decem? ber, at August*. Judge Wylie, in equity, in thc case making Mary I Beckett'* property kable for her alleged husband's debt, decided adversely, because Mair was sot, in law, Beckett's wife. They came together during the existence of slavery, and the relations of hus? band and wife were unknown to the slave code. Both parties deny matrimony subsequent to eman? cipation, and therefore, in law, are living together in concubinage. The bill was dismissed with costa. The Trial,of Slr. Davis. RtoHKO?bf November 23.-MtrD?Ms' trial com? mences on Monday at ll o'clock. At that hour he will place himself in the custody of the United States Marshal, and, it is believed, will be bailed from day io day on his own recognizance. About fifteen wiimeeses are summoned for the Govern? ment, including Jas. A. Seddon, late Confederate Secretary of War, and General Jos. E. Johnston. It is stated that Mr. Devis will bo tried on a new .indictment to be made by the Grand Jury. Chief Justice Chase and Judge Underwood will arrive mere on Monday morning. Messrs. Chandler and Evarts of the prosecution, and O'Conor and Shea, of the defenoe, will arrive here to-morrow morn? ing. Mr. Davis spent nearly all to-day with his counsel. Hon.. Charles W. Bussell, of Virginia, leader of the Administration party in the late Confederate Congress, died in Baltimore last night. RiCKatOKD, November 24.-As Judge Chase will not arrive until to-morrow afternoon, the Davis trial will not commence until 2 P. M. in the day. Mr. Crju>se will deliver the charge to the Grand Jury. It Ki not known ii he will remain during all the trial. MT; Davis* counsel say they Are entirely ready to go <?n. A letter waa received today from 'Jener al ito bm' E. Lee, who was summoned aaa wt tn ees by the Government, saying that he will be in Richmond to-morrow. Messrs. O'Connor and Shea, for the defence, arrived to-day, and Messrs. ?rady, of New York, ."?nd Reed of Philadelphia, will come when the trial commences. Messrs. Efarts and Dana, fer the prosecution, also arrived to-day. Mr. Davis attended Si. Paul's Church this morning. _ Doings of the Alabama Convention. MONTGOMERY, November 23-P. M.-The Con? ven tion passed an ordinance imposing an addi? tion.*^ tax of ten per cent, on the taxes otherwise assessed on the taxable property in this State, for the pTupose of paying the expenses of the Con? vention, to be assessed and collected during the tax year of 1868. The Bill of Bights of the Constitution provides, among other things, that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed *>y their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, ai. i j that ail persons and classes in thia State, who are .w may be declared citizens of the United States by the Constitution thereof, are hereby deolared citizens of. the State of Alabama, possessing equal civil and political rights and public privileges without distinction of race, color or previous con? dition. The section in the Bill of Right? defining treason, as passed, says no one shall be convicted of treason except on the testimony of two wit? nesses to the same overt act, or upon his own con? fession in open court. The franchise Article provides that those who shall bo convicted of treason shall not exercise the right of suffrage. lt is behoved that all persons who came within the $20,000 clause of President Johnson's Amnesty Piocaemation, and against whom proceedings were instituted in the United States District Court, who, on being pardoned by the President, I had to ttprmr in Court and enter the pica ot uar don and guilT, are disfranchised by the new Con- ! stitution. If ita? ie correct, thirty or forty thou? sand whites are disfranchised at one blow in thia State. An amendment to the bill of rights was offered that common carriers shall not make any discrimi? nation on account of color, between persons trav? elling cu public conveyances, which caused great excitement. Several black delegates delivered in fiammiitory harangues, demanding entire social' equality, and the right to ride in sleeping cars, 4c. Two whites-favored the amendment. Gime and Keffer making violent speeches Several whites opposed it in strong speeches, aud after a heated and protracted debate, the subject was postponed until Monday. Affairs in LOUUIUJIH. NEW ORLEANS, November 23.-TU Republican ?of thia morning has an editorial headed "Who is Responsible ?" alluding to the suspension of re? movals by General Mower on orders from Wash? ington, in-whieh is need the following language: '?lhedajf: 'w??l "comeT and perhaps ?)A>?*X D? a bloody e, when the loyal people of Louisiana will hold the authors of this interference in t ? progress of reconstruction to a strict account, j war of the rebellion is not yet over. The States the South are not reconstructed. The grand arm of the Republic, double in numbers of the j grand aimy of the Potomac, tried soldiers with dusky faces, still love the old profusion and cherish the old muskets they cerried so bravely on many well fought field. The lowly and humble hav learned their rights and know how to fight, and, need be, to die for them. No power Bave that of the Almighty God can keep the loyal people in th end from achieving their own liberties and tram p ling to the dust the minions of tho old and still dominant slave power." The same article calls Andrew Johnson that arch traitor and assassin. NEW ORLEANS, November 23.-The Convention met at noon to-day, and elected negroes as tempo? rary chairman and secretaries. No permanent or? ganization was arrived at, and it adjourned until Monday. Thora were forty-four negroes and twenty-five whites in caucus. In caucus Judge Taliaferrj was the choice for permanent chairman, but it is probable that the negro members will elect one of their own color It is understood that it was resolved in caucus, last night, that the first step of the Convention would be to declare all State offices vacant, and fill them with appointees acceptable to the Radical party. The recent appointments by Mower, with one or two exceptions, don't satisfy thc Convention. Dr. Avery, the newly appointed Sheriff, was in quiet possession of bis office this morning, and sworo in most of his old deputies. The Courts proceeded to business, which had been Interrupted.

IMPEACHMENT RUMORS-ACTIVITY. OF THE IMPEACH? ERS-SCHEMES ON TOOT-OPINION OF REVERDT JOHNSON-PROTECTION OF THE EXECUTIVE AGAINST CONGRESS-GENERAL MOWER TO BE REMOVED PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE NEARLY FINISHED-SSCHK . XAMlVCTTJOCH'g MESSAGE PAVOBISO CONTRAC? TION. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes under date of November 22: Rumors are again rile that a majority of the Judiciary Committee will report in favor of th? impeachment of the President-that both Messrs. Woodbridge and Churchill have changed opinions, Ste. Tins ia generally credited here, but I have reason to believe that there ie no foundation in fact for the rumors. There is considerable activi? ty among the advocates of impeachment, and they are laboring diligently to get a majority m favor of the adoption of articles in the House, that the matter may be sent to the Senate, and there to be held tn tetrorem over Mr. Johnson, with the.view of enforcing his prompt execution of the recon? struction laws in the spirit of the framers, as well as of the latter of the acts, and in the hope of eventual conviction by the Senate. This scheme-cannot succeed, if the. indications of tho I sentiment on the part of the majority of the mern- ? bera eau be relied upon, and .the impeachment ?. project will end in a publication of the testimony, J and probably a vote of censure of Mr. Johnson, and it is even probable that the censure resolution v will fail. j * Hon. Reverdv fchusou has added to hi? late pamphlet on the dangers that beset the country fl ?a argument to prove that the President cannot bo impeached, except for "treason and briberyr"' and that there is no legal power in Congress to suspend the Executive from the functions of his office pending trial. On the first proposition, 8 Senator Johnson says: "From the beginning ot' t the Government it has been uni/crmly decided by t the Supreme Court that there are nd common law offences prohibited-by the Constitution, except sue!, as are sp6ciajly named. In the clause before 1 us the only offence?, SQ designated, are treason S and bribery. J For the nature of these offences, its courts have ' a right to refer to the common law for their den nitiou. But it is otherwise as to the general terms, high crime? and misdemeanors. These not being speoified, tncf there being no common law jurisdiction in the courts cf the Union, they cannot take cognizance of them, without statutory 1 authority. If this W&B not so the doctrine of tho ' judiciary would be palpably wrong. But if il be J wrong, if there may, under this olause, be a crime * and misdemeanor not nade so by statuta, thia is certain, that there must be some law making it so. No act, therefore, which the President may do is cause of impeachment, unless it be "treason or bribery," or tfeckred criminal by statute, or the common law. Any other construction would place it in the power of the House of Bepresentatives to make any act of the Pre&ideni, though not pro-1 i hiuited by law and wholly innocent, a crime and misdemeanor which would be to place the Prosi dent in absolute dependence upon Congress, con trary to the obvious designbf the Constitution. | The result is that the President can only be im- j peached for "treason or bribery," or for some act 1 made by statute a high crime ami misdemeanor. ' Anv alleged violation of a supposed duty cot made a crime by statute-any alleged violation of party fea!tv-any use of bis official patronage, which politicians may find fault with, pr which may have proved injurious to the public interest-are not causes of impeachment, General Mowers' recent general remov?is pf civil officers in Lou?vj.o.a meets with the dis? approval of the President, who will probably issue an order relieving General Mowers from command of any kind in the Fifth Military District, and assign him to duty elsewhere. The main patt of the President's message has been finished, and much of it was read in cabinet meeting to-day. The message will probably be printed in pamphlet form and mailed to the prin ci ?al newspapers so as to arrive at their destina non simultaneously with its reading in Congress. POSTAL TELEGRAPH. It is probable that during the December ses? sion a bill will be introduced, with a strong proba? bility of its passage, providing for t Dostal tele graphic system, embracing substantially the fea tures of ex-Senator Brown s bill, introduced in the Senate some two years ago, and more recently ad? vocated by Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, in the House. THE COTTON TAX. It is generallv conceded that Congress will re peal the ootton" tax. The Secretary of the Trea sury will on Mbndav send to the Senate a reply to the" resolution calling upon him for any facts or reports in possession of the Department on that subject, ana will enclose a ?eport from Commis sioner Wells in ?iv'or of tho repeal. TREASURY REPORT. Secretary McCulloch's Annual Report is com? pleted, ana" fl copv has been presented to the Pre? sident. It is understood that Mr. Mcculloch makes a strong argument in favoring of continu? ing the policy of contraction of the currency, ac? cording to the terms of '':e present law, at the rate of four millions of dol.: .8 per month. LIST or PARDONED CONFEDERATES. Mr. F. U. Stitt, of the Pardon Bureau, Attorney General's office, has just completed the final re? port of individuals pardoned 6v the President for aiding in tho rebellion. The report embraces all those pardoned iu the States of Alabama, Virginia, Weit Virginia and and Georgia, and will be sub? mitted to the President to-morrow. TL'E FIFTEEN CENT NOTES. It is understood that the new fifteen cent de? nomination of fractional currenoy is now ready to be issued, but that the delay is occasioned bv a desire to know the opinion Congress on the sub? ject, of. .swung it? lt. seems that ao far all tho members who have been conversed within regard ) to it are favorable to the new denomination.

Our correspondent, Alpha, writing from Fort Motte, says : The election went off orderly. The colored vo? ters were ordered to appear at the polls with fire arms, but that so-called order of tho Union League ?vas countermanded, and but few appea cd on the 19th with their guns, and they were told by the managors of the election that they had orders to preserve peace and order, and if order was not iept thev weuld close the polls and return to Drangeburg. So the colored gentry, rathor inti nidated oy tho threat, Boon made an armory of an )ld mill house near by. The ignorance prevailing imongst the negroes of this jrecinct is truly amu nng. Of the number that voted, and I presume ;hey were over threo hundred, I am satisfied in laying that not moro than ten knew for whom, or 'or what they were voting. I asked over twentv negroes who they voted for, ind not one would tell me. One said he voted for ur. Radical; one, that tho man who gave him the icket would not let him open it, but to go and put t in the box; another said that his ticket had red vriting on it, and a man's head. I am certain that some of the negroes would not ?avo participated in the electiou if they bad not >een afraid of the Union League. The ticket voted by the negroes was as follows : 3enj. F. Randolph, colored; Thad. K. SaBportas, olored; Edmund W. M. Mackey, white; William r. McKinlay, colored; Edward J. Cain, colored. BEAUFOBT DISTRICT. Our correspondent T., writing from Beaufort, lays: I cannot give you any further information as to he*re8ult or the" election in this Parish (St. Heie ta). 1 cannot even got tho number of white vo ers. In the town of Beaufort there were 518 votes rolled-but I am still unable to say how many vhi tes voted- am assured that all wore for Con -ention, 518. In this Parish there were throe rolling precincts, St. Helena Island, Grey's Hill .nd Beaufort Town. From tho Grey's Hill and >t. Helena Island polls we only learn that the polls rere tinder the control of an armed mob, try int: to utimidate and, Indeed, preventing the colored men rom voting any but tho Republican ticket, which iad three northern men and four colored men in it. COLLETON DISTRICT. Our correspondent Orion, writing from Walter ioro', says: I herewith transmit a succinct and substantial eport of the election held at this poll on the 19th nd 20th instant Votes were deposited exclusivo f by the negroes, who, on the first day, congre? gated around the Court House in one compact lass for fifty yards, so that access to the various fices of the Court waa rendered extremely diffi ult and disagreeable. The vote tauen did not, crimps, cover . one-third ol' tho vast throng sur oundiiig the polls; for thereabouts, wrangling, crambling, fighting, almost suffocating in the ager and simultaneous ru?h to be first, there wero saembled, at the minimum figure, two thousand f the newly enfranchised. Five hundred and tventy votes were polled. There was not a single .nite applicant (bo it said to the honor of Col? ston.) It is not inappropriate in this connection to tate (especially as you have asked it), npon the uthority of oar worthy Sheriff, Colonel George barren, who was in official attendance at the polls, lat several insurrectionary and riotous movo ?ents were started, necessitating an appeal to tho libtary for aid in suppi casing them. In the ourse of the day BO great was the excitement and o furious were the crowd, it became necessary for io guard to apply the bayonet to force them back, alf wild aa they were with tho excitement of the ceas i on. . Some altercation grew ont of a previous ii9under8tanding in the convention which made bo nomination, aud the belief on the part, ut a snaible minority that the action of the leaders who were interested in tho security of their own om i nation) would not bear inspection with a gated candle. Speeches were made by the diaaf sctod, which created a sensation and pavo prom 36 of culminating in a row; whereupon Major Wil jughby, one of the managers, endeavored to qnell he disturbance, bat was pot heeded, and a resort 0 tho bayonet became necessary. It is a singular feature of tho system of indoc rination effectuated by the espionage of local, tadical agents, that nearly all the negroes aro lade to behave that they are obliged io vote, and j jr a negro or white Radical (same stamp), or omething dreadful will befall them-which none, f course, discredit, considering the source. This 1 virtually perverting the idea of tho elective ranchise. which moana freedom to elect. But they cally believe they have no choice in the matter, ?or did one in a hundred know, nnlets informedJ y the Managers, how he was voting, nor what hp ras voting for. It is with thom a grand gala day, iromising a gratification of their love bf excite? ront, and perhaps the initiation of something, cf rhich they know nothing, and, in the:r present tate, can never know. Many, it is observed, on ?y themsevles by outbursts of religious entbu iaem. At the Convention precedent to this ole?? los, one old n&grc might have been seen sitting own, with an ineffable smile on his face, ottering obs and responses to the silly, religious speeches bat were made-fur they were nothing else-un erstanding nothing, of course, bot having his ?eliogs wrought np to a pitch of artificial excite? ment which ts ord ii arily produced by the humbug nd sensation of Cine ol tl}eir half savage prayer lastings. FAIRFIELD. The Winnsboro' News gives this sketch of ia? idents nt the election : Minor Smith voted, and he md- ed looked like t linor in view of the franchise law. Daniel and /Owis McGill (anas Gill) could not give tho names hey registered, so could not vote; nor could Rou? en Hill, Murray Stockton, Jack Nelson, Phil, ackson, Henry Starke. One gave his name as Augusta Pierson, brit rhen that could not be found, he said, "Oh no, I argot, I'm Angosta Hall. John Irby couldn't got a showing. He couldn't md thc name he registered. Simtnt P. Jones came to vote, bat didnt know rhat "P." stood for; ho was cautioned, however, Iways to stand by that name. Joseph Shedd adas Jones, ?tc., came back thu econd day of fhe election and wanted to vote on he ground that tn tu a cns some difference bet? ween the names "Joe" and "Joseph." Sam Trapp came to vote. He gave his name a Sam Trapp, but said his right name was '-Si? non." Whou neither name could be found; thon limon ?'tasSam wanted to know if there was such i name on the book as "Joe Edwards." Of course io was ruled ont. Toney Rosoboro came to vote for his brother rho was sick. Columbus Young didn't remember what name he jave at the registration. Amos Nelson came to vote but had no ticket. Ie was advised to go and get one. When ho came ?ck he waa asked "who he was voting fort" Se said he didn't know. Then, "what ho was vo? ling for?" bo e*pose it was for de invention." David Crockett, when asked who he voted for, said he didn't know, it was m de paper. MARLBORO'. Our correspondent, Marlboro', gives the follow ng interesting news : On the day before the election, Whet timor? Bent i special agent to notify his allies, the negroes, .hat they must not vote for the regular nominee, Tim Brutus, and to order Brutus to decline, and a renegade white to be pot in his place. AU ol which y?s faithfully excouted, according to the orders of me great Darlington negro controller. Think ol* t, on Monday the sybolo negro population in Marl joro' were deterniindd to elect Brutus, but on Tuesday the orders of one Northern Radical emis? sary drove bim from the field, and the ticket select? ed, printed and distributed by this emissary, al? most unanimously elected. Was thero ever such unlimited ecntrcl exercisoi by one man, oven over wild savages I The election, or the farce pnacted, passed off very quietly. In fact, the voters seemed greatly disappointed that no white men were at the polls with whom they could come in contaot. Many in? sist that there is something wrong, and the elec? tion is not a "true election," because the white people are BO indifl'eeent and good humored. We learn that Calvin 8tubbs, the nominee, and George Jackson, by Whettimoro's orders, are "tho elected"-the first a negro, the last common. THE CASE OP THE VICKSBURG EDITOR.-On the 11th instant, at Vicksburg, application was made to Judge Hill, of tho United States Circuit Court, for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of General McCardle, by his counsel, the Hons. W. Brooke, T. A. Marshall and W. L. Sharkey. General McCardle has been imprisoned by General Ord on a charge of obstructing the execution of the Re? construction acts. Mr. Marshall contended that the petition showed a case of illegal imprisonment. It could not be .pretended that voting against a Convention, or advising others lc do so, violated the Reconstruction laws, 'lue military ooniniand ers could not make laws, and if they could do so, they must promulgo them. Intemperance of Lin? gua ie, whether spoken or written, is not a crime justifying arrest and imprisonment. Tho party is responsible for abuse of tho privilege guaranteed bv the Constitution, but only according io the law of the land. Neither General Ord, nor any oilier man, earj make lawa for the government of tho Ecopie. Indeed, ihs acts of Congress, which gives jm his authority, invests Lim with power to pro? tect persons and property, and to try offenders, oither by hilliary commission, or by the civil tri? bunals. The term "offender" means'a person who violates the law. The decision of the judge was reserved.

TBE?JBCBY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF SPECIAL COMMIS'EB OF THE REVENUE, WASHINGTON, November 21,1867. Hon. Hugh McCuliocb, Secretary of iht Trta.su Sra-As the queatian of the repeal of the In nal Revenue tax new levied upon rawcottoi likely to be brought; to the attention of Congi at an early day, I nave thought it expedient to ticipate BO much of ruy annual report an relate! this subject, and accordingly herewith submi you the accompanying: statement, with the requ that the same, if approved, be transmitted to 0 greBs. " When the Internal Revenue tax of throe oo per pound waa imposed upon raw cotton, by act of July 13th, ?86<?, the avera-re price of Jtir diing" cotton in New York for tho preceding twe months had been in excess of fortv cents ; pound, and for the twelve months next succeed; was in' excess of twenty-five cents per pound ; which range of price? the tax in question was i doubtodly less burdensome than the taxes impoi and still maintained on other forms of dome? industry. J./" At the same time li baB been generally assun in al vost all previous reports and debates on I subject, that the tax on cotton waa a tompon measure, called for only to be defended on 1 ground of the necessities of the nation, and to repealed at the earliest moment when its contii unce seemed likely to prove a serious impedim? to domestic production, or an undesirable stimu to ibe foreign coltivitor. That these conting* ciea are now imminent, and that the timo has : rived when the policy of raising revenue from tax upon cotton should no longer be adhered will, it is believed, appear evident from the folio in pr facti and (statistics : The principal competit ir to the United States the production of cotton ?B India, and the price India cotton bas been materially advanced ?lori: the past five years through two agencies-first, improvements in machinery for its manufoctui and secondly, in consequence of an im prove me in its quality, due to increased caro in hancllin to the use of exotic seed, and to the transfer native seed from districts which have heietofo yielded the best staple to those where the prodti tion has been inferior. It is to this latter agon that the recent marked improvement in India cc ton is, perhaps, more especially to be attribut than to any other. Bat bo the causes what th' may, it may be affirmed that where India cott< formerly bore the relation of one-half to tw thirds the value of American, it now bears tl relation of two-thirds to three-quartors, while Ijortion of the crop is folly equal to middling u; ands for the manufacture of heavy fabrics. Evid-mee exists, tending to show that tho pr sent tax of two and a half cents per pound t American cotton is tiquai to a premium of at lea fiftv per cent, upon the cost of raising cotton i Ina a, and by some authorities it is alleged to 1 even greater. The tax, therefore, could with pn prie ty be imposed only wc ile the aggregate supp! of cotton was less than the demand, and the prit consequently far above the normal rate. Tl largest consumption of cotton in Europe in ox one year was in I860, when it amounted to 4.321 OOO bales, equal to 1,844,700,000 pounds. Ot th amount the United States furnished eighty-fiv per cent., and there can be but little doubt that surplus of cotton goods was produced in that veal even with the stimulas which the low cost ol th staple then prevailing undoubtedly afforded t consumption. In. the year 1866 Europe obtained a supply r 4,613,023 balea, averaging 362 pounds each, equi to 1,633,714,320 pounds, of which less than fort per cent, was from the United States. But tin ?uantity, although somewhat less in pounds thai ie supply of 1860, was too great for the denian for consumption at the prices ruling, and abou {100,000 bales were ndded to the stock on hand ii European markets; which stock, on the 1st o January, 1867, the close of the European cottoi year, as follows: In Great Britain, 581,570 bales on the Continent, 160,000 bales; total, 74;,57' bales. If we estimate cotton at 400 pounds to tho bali (as has been the custom in the United StitoB ii the returns of the Census), the comparative sup ply wOl appear as follows, subject to a shgbt va ria tion, from the fact that the cotton year of Eu rope is made up to the 1st of January, and that o the United States to the lat of September, in halei of 400 pounds each: COXBT~MPnOV OF EUBORE TN 1880. American, about...3,311,75* Other varieties. 700,00) 4,611,7? sum? or Kinora vs i960. American, about.1,600,001 Other varieties.2,483,281 4,084,281 The consumption of Europe in 1862, the year o; smallest supplv and of highest prices, was 750, 500,000 pounds", or La bales of 400 pounds, 1,876, 250. The proportion of American cotton in thie year was somewhat larger than at a later date; but m 1864 it waa less than eight per oent. of a total of ovor 2.500,000 ba.ua. i The orop of 1866, in the United States, for the ?ear ending September 1st, 1867, is estimated to ave been from 1,000,000 to 1,800,000 bales, out ol a total delivery of over 2,000,000 bales-the surplus being old cition; bot while this product was fat mdre than could have been anticipated by the most sanguine friends of free labor, the crop in question was in reality a failure, it having been cat short by a season more unfavorably than al? most any heretofore experienced. The season of 1857 nae, however, proved most propitious, and the amount to come forward is es imated by few commorcial authorities at less than 2,600,000 bales of 4f0 pounds each, and may even reach an aggregate of 3,000 OOO bales. In considering the subject of the production of cotton in the United States, with refeience to the influence of tba tax, it is d?sirable to take a largo', rather t?fah a small, estimate of tho present crop; and we asBnme, therefore, tho product o? thc year to be 2,750,000 bales, of 460 pounds each. If from this wo deduct 1,000,000 baloo for home consumption and lor an addition to the small do? mestic stock to bc hold over, we havo 1,750,000 balea available for jxport. or ?125,000 bales, esti? mated at 400 poufids each. If,'now, other coun? tries shall produce os much cotton as in 1866 (and there ia no evidence as yet of appreciable decrease), thc quantity from e ther countries than tho United States, estimated lu bales of 400 pounds each, will be 2,485,000; making a total avatlablo cotton sup? ply to Europe of 4,610,001 bales. 8uch a supply will be equal to tl at of the year 1860, when there was, undoubtedly, a surplus; but of this quantity the United States will now furnish less than 47 per cent., instead of 85 per oent. in the year referred to. In short, under the stimulus ot high prices, the world has produced more cotton than it can con sumo at the prices of tho day. To cheapen prices may greatly extend the consumption after recovery from the first shook of so great a chango. But, in this fall of priooe, the profit of the producer-rest? ing upon the higher prices whioh invited his out? lay, has, to a very great extent, and for the timo, been lost. When the American crop was in ita supremacy, tho averago prices of Surai cotton in liverpool for the twenty years, 1841 to 1860, ranged from 3d. to 5?d. per pound. When it was 3d., in 1845, tho im? port to Great Britain was only 155,000 bales; when it was Sid., in 1857, tbe import ?aa 680,000 bales. Thus it appears that price regulated the quantity imported; and neither the import to Europe nor the export from India was any measure of tho pro? duction of that mysterious country. Though ita export in annual average had been only about 500,000 bales, and much of that to China, when the American war maae it? sudden call for cotton, in 1861-2, India contributed more than l.OuO.OOO bales that Beaaon. There is no evidence that thore was any larger or moro sucoessful planting that year than previously; only that price called it out, and the stock left for home use was by so much the less. Doubtless, in the succeeding years, cot? ton planting in India was increased, as oise where, by the stimulus of wonderfully remunerativo prices to the producers and forwarders. It is, however, safe to assume that thero has al? ways (at least in modern days) been a latent ca? pacity in that country to throw upon tho market an extra, oud, perhaps, unexpected, half million of baloa of oott-m in any year, whou tho prico should offer sufflciont inducement; and an equal capacity to consume at home tho whole produc? tion, when at so low prices that it could not bc ex? ported to Europe or Chini. Since the recent com iletion of many hundred miles of railways in India, that power of adding promptly to tho world's supply of cotton has been greatly in? creased. It therefore becomes evident that low prices for cotton must be anticipated for a considerable pe? riod, during which the domestic production should not be discouraged by the continued imposition of a direct tax. But with tho relief that will bo ai torded by the prompt removal of the existing tax tho Commissioner fully believes that the United States will speedily regain the control of tho cot? ton market, and again supply by far the larger portion of the total demaud of Europe for con? sumption. In this opinion, moreover, ho finds himself sustained by what may be regarded as the best authorities on cotton in this country, and par? ticularly bv the late Commissioner of the United States to tho Parie Exposition, Hon. E. R. Mudge, of Massachusetts, to whom, as chairman of a com? mittee, the snpject of tho future supplv of cotton was especially referred for investigation, by bia colleagues on the Commission. The coucl;ision of the report of this Committee, not heretofore made public, are as follows; Having carefully observed what has been done and is doing by othor nations, the Committee pre? sent the following conclusions : 1st. That cotton gi owing in the Southern States, ir untaxed, can bo conducted profitably aud suc? cessfully, os aKalust Ell! competition elsewhere. 2d. That If burdened by a tax sufficient to bo worth to tho t reasury the cost of its collection it cannot at present, if ever, be successfully prose "3d. That, already .familiar to our people, in all its details, it is the only industry immediately available and practicable to the great bodv of the laboring population of the South for the profitable employment of surplus labor, that is, beyond the necessities of crops for subsistence, in the produc? tion of something saleable and exchangeable, whorebv wealth can bo regainod; and 4tb. i'hat the importance of a large] production of cotton, as tho chief export of tho couutrv, in adjusting balances of trade and exchungos.'and especially in its bearing upon the future position of the public debt, so largely held and to be held abroad, cannot weli be overstated; and so far transcends the valuo of the present tax that to preserve the latter at the cost of losing the former, would be u "ha'penny 'orth of wisdom to a pounil of follv.' Tho whole amount of Internal Revenue derived a>i*v VIA LA VI CUl bun IUI I 11U ll oU ti 1 >UUL CX1U Inp Juno 30, 18G7. was $23,769,078 80; ancfalthough thia sum comprises nearly all the revenue derived from the Southern section of the country, and constitutes an amount that can ill bo spared from the Treasury, yet. under all the circumgta.ices, tho Commissioner has no hesitation in recommending the imm?diate passage by Congress of an act re? pealing the entire tax upon raw cotton md the corresponding existing duty on importea cotton -the Barneto take effect on its passage; As yet bnt a small quantity of tho new crop of cottou has been market jd. but it the repealing act be delayed to a later r.criod, it will evidently work injustice to those producers who may bo forced to send their crop forward immediately, unless the removal of the tax should be deferred to take effect 1 at tho closo of the preset cotton year, September 1, 11868. I If a repeal of the tax, to take effect immediately. ' should be enacted by Congress, it is important tbut one contingency should be effectually provided against. Contracts, it is understood, are propos? ed, and possibly already made, for the purchase of cjtton, tax unpaid, to be held in store until the re? pealing legislation of Congress has taken effect thus ensuring to the speculator, or exporting bu vor, a gain equivalent to the amount of the tai. It seems desirable, therefore, that tho act of r? peal should be so worded as to relieve trom the payment of the tax only so much cotton aa, at tho date named in the act, remained unsold by the producer ; all cotton having prseed out of tho hands of the producer to pay the tax, if it bas not already done so. Only in this way can the reb>f go where it is intended, viz., to the impoverished cultivator. Affaira lu the State.

The petitioners ask for the division on tho follow? ing considerations : 1st, Its extensive area, and the great inconvenience thereby caused to those living at the extremities in reaching the present Court House, beieg compelled to travel, in many instunces.over a broken and hilly country thirty or forty miles in order to do BO. 2d, Its large popu t on, composed of at least 20,000 Inhabitants, for the transaction of whose proportionate judicial busin.ss the present consolidated arrangement is believed to be inadequate.
