It is time that something should be done to relieve the people from some portion of the heavy burdens of tax? ation that now oppress them. With a debt of unparalleled, magnitude weighing upon the Republic, it is, of coarse, impossible to avoid recours*? I to the customary expedients to swell the national revenues, but the present j system of taxation is entirely too j severe for communities -whose com I merdai and industrial spheres are | laboring under the effects of civil j strife. Justice to coming generation? | demands that we should assume and \ fulfill a fair share of the national obligation to protect the credit of the republic, but it is not to be expected that this generation will discharge the overwhelming debt. At this crisis the masses require to be treated with consideration in regard to theil enforced contributions to the central exchequer. There is still a great deal of disorder and inactivity in many of the fields of industry; and especially throughout the South, the channels of trade are still blocked with the debris of recent convulsion, and the natural resources of the country re? main undeveloped. It is very hard upon the suffering, toiling million to yield the profits of their labor before they have had time for a breathing spell after the terrible ordeal ot domestic strife through which they have passed. The taxes now imposed upon the masses are out of all pro? portion with their ability to endure the heavy drain upon their incomes. The hardship is particularly mani ' lest in the case of the Southern peo? ple, who, impoverished and prostrated by the war, ore compelled to pay a tribute far beyond their means, to a Government that, while it exacts from them the fulfillment of every duty, denies them the enjoyment of every right; that makes them bear a full proportion of taxation, while refusing them the privilege of representation in Congress; that persecutes them, paralyzes their energies, stands be? tween them and their opportunities for recuperation, and at the same time demands their co-operation in meeting the immense financial obli? gations of the nation. But, whether in the South or North, the systom of taxation is too oppressive tor the condition ol' the country. TLe republic should be permitted to recover from its exhaus-i tion and from the effects of the inter? ruption of its normal industrial routine, before being called upon to cram the insatiate maw of the mon? ster of debt that has taken up its abode in oar land. The republic has resources sufficient to redeem its indebtedness, but they must have time for development. It will not do to plant ont of season or to reap before harvest time. We are all laborers in behalf of the national credit, bnt the laborer who is driven beyond his strength soon becomes discouraged and worthless. We do not believe that seventy per cent, of the taxes collected, except, in this city, finds its way into the National Treasury. The armies of Federal assessors and collectors con? stitute too vast and complicated an organization to be controlled by the department that is entrusted with its government. The machinery would be much simplified if it were placed under the direction of the States severally within their respective limita But whether under central or State control, the system of direct luxation should be modified so as to bear less heavily upon the masses. If Congress would coa?e for a while to devote its attention to the persecu? tion of the South and the elevation of the negro, and legislate a little foi the relief oi" the people generally, they could not commence the re? formatory process better than by diminishing the load of taxation that now weighs like an incubus upon out communities.-New York News. ? uti ?lift til?- Vn??on'? Throat. In the House of Representatives, I on Saturday, dnring the discussion ou i I tlie Tariff bili, Mr. Eldridge moved j ? to insert the following paragraph: i "On all bonds, certificates of stock, j I or other evidence of indebtedness of j the United States, brought back or j returne?! for payment, sale, or col- j lection before due, ten per centum ad. valorem." ! Wo must confess our astonishment j I at finding a Democrat introducing a ! clause that we should only have ! expected to have emanated from a I radical. Thc member from Wiscou-1 ! sin can scar?-ely have considered the effect which would ultimately ensue j from a measure like that which he I proposes to pass into a law. During the next three years, io? ?re I than a thousand millions of seven-1 thirties and other unfunded represen- ! j tatives of debt will hav?: to be convert- j j ed into bonds; and it will be advisable, and within the same period, to eon- . vert into a stock bearing a less rate of interest, half that amount of five- j twenties, of which six per cent, i ! interest iu gohl is nt present paid, i lu addition, it will also bo necessary . to make provision for the liquidation ! of thc legal tenders that are to bo | called in, in accordance with the! requirements of the recent Act of Congress. To place these large j amounts of money on tho market nt ? the lowest possible rate of in Wrest, it : will be essential to bring the capital- j isis of Em-ope into competition with ; our own m meyed class, otherwise ! the latter, having it. all their own way, will ouly take the securities of the United States upon their own ! terms. I f foreigners can only pur chase our bonds on the condition that they shall be subject to a duty ?>f ten ? per cent, on being returned to this '. country for resale prior to the tiuiu of j their arriving at maturity, it. will he tbsolutely impossible to place a single j dollar's worth in Eurnjiean hands. The enactment of a law like that , proposed would be virtually cutting I the nation's throat for the sole bene- i fit of such of our own citizens us are j blessed with plethoric pockets. And j thus the industry of the laud would : have to be taxed to make ito the extra dividend that it would be compulsory i to pay, the amount of which would necessarily find its way to the already \ well stocked coffer?' of the rich. {Nashville Union and American. THE FREEDMAN'S CONVENTION. The Georgia Equal Rights Association met in this city on Wednesday last, i Twenty-four counties were represent? ed. The Convention adjourned on Thursday night. The principal object >?i the meet-? lng was to examine into the charges] made agiiinst J. E. Bryant, editor of j the ItOjfal Georgian, as to his cm nection .w ith the affairs of the Assoei- : ition, and als?? the accusation of j swindling freedmen. Gen. Tilson addressed thc Convention, lu the course of his rernatks, the General animadverted severely upon Bryant, i denouncing him as a beggar, a liar ? and a swindler. (Bryant is President ol the Georgia Equal Rights Associ? ation.) , A large number of the delegates. ; before leaving the city, expressed the opinion that Bryant is a rascal, and determined to h<vo nothing more to do with him. \ A nt i tinto Constitutionalist, 1 fl///.
