COLUMBIA. Tuesday Morning, January 8, 1?67. Taxation. Tho people of the South ure groan? ing under the pressure of the heavy taxes which Congress has 'enforced upon tho productive industry of the country. The Pittsburg Gazette, a radical organ, gives the following evi? dence as fo how this ?j->ti?rnis working under u coctvaction of the currency: "Do tin1 members of Congress realize- thc degree of difficulty ender which many of the productive in? dustries arc laboring? lt seems to us that their adjournment over the holi? days, as in ordinary eases, signifies thc contrary. 3300,000,000 a year are collected out of these industries. In many cases, the excise duties not only exhaust all profits, but eat largely into capital. This condition of affairs can not last. Either producers must have relief, or production must stop. With the stoppageof production must ??.onie national bankruptcy." There is no doubt that the indus? trial interests of the North, are suffer? ing very considerably from tho effects of high taxes. We are told that many manufacturing establishments are working simply copay taxes and rents, while other are run merely as un act .of kindness to the workmen, the .owners md deriving one cent of profit therefrom. This is far from being an agreeable state of affairs, and yet it i- undoubtedly true. Wc do not wonder that radical organs like the Pittsburg paper clamor for relief from this policy of imposing ruinous taxes noon industry. Lut they have shown no sympathy with the South in this matter of taxation. A most onerous tax is imposed upon thc staple production of the South, and it bas seemed very proper in radical estimation that this tax should be continued, because it. yields a large revenue. Whatever can be drawn from the people of the South in this respect seems to be regarded as entirely right by the leaders of the radical party. And even tho New Kork Chamber o? Commerce has come to the sage conclusion that this tax upon our cotton ought not to lu; repealed. The Gazette puts the case plainly for the North. "Either pro? ducers must have relief or production must stop,"and "with the stoppageof production must come national bank? ruptcy." Such appeals as this, if anything like general, must exert an influence upon Congress; but will that result in benefit to the South in tb? least? Now that the currency is being contracted, tue crude legislation of Congress is having its legitimate result, and ;. is eminently proper that this ruling section should be made to feel i ts evils. -:-? -O ?

Indian corn and cured moats are thc articles particularly needed, and likely to give most permanent relic f. Persons living convenient to Loni .ville can deliver corn in the ear at the mill of Guy, Douglass A.

"Persons living at a distance, wish? ing to contribute corn, will be fur? nished with sacks and directions for shipping on application. "Those contributing money should .forward tho srtme to L. L.

TUE FREEDMEN.-General Howard and suite, of the Freedmen's Bureau, arrived in this eily mn Saturday, and since that time hav? been visiting th?; colored popu? lation and examining into their condition. Last night, the freedmen turned out in large numbers, with torches, banners, transparencies, etc., and escorted thc General and party to tho African Church, where several addresses wen- delivered. General Howard advised them to remain where tiicy were-that inducements were held out to thom to emigrate to other States, hut that removals were always trou? blesome, and often very fur from advan? tageous; he advised them to be indus? trious and ahid- by their contracts; im? pressed upon them tho importance of education, stating that, throughout the Southern States, there were now ever 150, 000 colored children being educated, and concluded his remarks with certain patri? otic expressions, which created considera? ble feeling arneng th?? dusky auditory. ?NEW AOTEKTISESIETTS.-Attention is call? ed to tho following advertisements, which ,P- published this morning for ?he firut time: hw.

Arr.vms IN WASHINGTON.- Tho Sn- J promo Court has reversed the deci? sion of the Court fur the Southern District of New York, thus directing j thc steamship Springbok to be sur? rendered to her British owners. The Court, however, confirmed the con? fiscation of the cargo. This vessel was' captured in 1863, while on its voyage from London to Nassau, lt was held that, though there was no? thing to show that tho steamer was intended to penetrate a blockade, it was clear that the cargo was intended for those then in arms against the United Stales Government-some of the artich s being for military pur? poses and marked C. S. A. The Supreme Court has also de? cided three of tho Southern eases which were pending before the com? mencement of tho late "war, two of these being tho corporation of New Orleans against Lock, involving the question of payment of taxes; and a case from tho Southern District of Mississippi, as to tho power and duties of receivers under an authority to collect debts of insolvent in cases. It appears from an official com mu- ' ideation sent to Congress by General Howard, Commissioner of Freed? men's Affairs, that in Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Missouri and Arkansas, there has been a decrease of freedmen, while in other Southern States the population of that class have remained tho same ns at the close of the war. An increase is re? ported in Texas and Tennessee. THE PUKSIDENT'S VIEWS AND OPI? NIONS.-A special Washington de? spatch to thc Baltimore Sun says: Sinco tho President submitted his annual message to Congress, his views and opinions upon the political situation and the proposed amend? ments to the Constitution have under? gone no change. That ho does not favor these amendsmeuts, is noto? rious, and he does not hesitate to ex? press his disapproval of them on all proper occasions; but he has not, neither in his official nor private ca? pacity, attempted to interfere with thc free action of any of the States upon the question. Ho deems the fate of thc amendments, at least in their present form, as already effect? ually determined by the action of the Southern Slates; and he does not re? gard thc threat of territorializing those States as cause of serious alarm, since there is good reason for believing that, should tho proposed Territorial bill bc enacted into the form of law, the Supreme Court would, upon unagreed case present: d for decision, at once decide tho bill null and void. --.- ? ? ? PERTINENT.-Some people are ver? dant enough to ask, says the St. Paul (Min.) Pioneer, can Congress do so. and so ? Why, certainly they can. !

In thc meantime, the citizens heretofore al? most unanimously expressed themselves, at the polls, against such a measure, and to force negro suffrage on them is regarded as repugnant tn liberty, in tin- fare of their earnest protest, apart from the absence nf constitutional power to pass thc bill. lt is not improbable that Mudd, Slan? gier, O'Laughlin and Arnold, the alleged assassination conspirators, wi!!, in conse? quence of the Si:;.rem'- Court decisiou against military commissions, be brought to Washington from thc Dry Tortugas, and transferred to a civil triounal for its de? termination.

WASHINGTON, January 7.-In tho House McClarg, of Missouri, introduced a reso lution stating whereas Confederate owner of slaves were taking advantage of thi Act of Congress which paid loyal owner for their slaves who were in United State service, the Committee on thc Judiciary b instructed to inquire into tba expedieue, of repealing the Act. Loan, of Missouri, introduced a r?solu timi setting forth that it was the duty c Congress to impeach tho President an? abridge tho Executive power, effect a per feet re-organization of the Southern State: and to secure by direct Federal legislatioi the right of suffrage to tho negroes in tin late Confederate States. Tho resohltio was laid over. Mr. Ashley introduced a paper and rest, lution .impeaching Andrew Johnson, a Vice-President and acting President of th United States, of high crimes and misde moaners, in that he usurped power am violated laws; that he had made corrup tivc. use of tho appointing power, the pal doning power, and the veto power; that h had corruptly disposed of the public prc porty of the United States; that ho ha corruptly interfered in elections, and wa guilt}' of other high crimes and misdt meauors. The resolution instructs th Judiciary Committee to inquire whet he in tho discharge of his duties, Andre Jobtihon, as vice-President and actin President of the United States, was guilt of acts designed to corrupt the Coven ment of the United States or any depar ment thereof, and whether he had bee guilty of such acts as in tho law would L denominated high crimes and misdemeai ors, which required tho interposition 1 the House, and that the Committee ha\ power to send for persons and papers. Mr. Spalding moved to lay the resolutic on tho table, which was disagreed to 1 yeas 3'J, nays 105. Mr. Ashley demanded tho previousque tion on the passage of the resolution, ar it was ordered. Tho resolution was tht agreed to by a vote ol' lot? yeas to ot! nay Among the radicals who voted in tho neg t ive were Davis, Dodge and Raymond, New York, Whatley and Latham, of We Virginia, and Spalding, of Ohio. Mr. basson introduced a joint rosoli tion, declaring the meaning of the thi tecnth amendment to tho Constitutio which prohibits slavery or involuntary se vitude, except as punishment of prim lt pronounces that the true meaning that amendment prohibits slavery in 1 forms except in One execution of a so lenee imposing a definite penalty, accor in;,' to thc laws; which penalty cantu without violating tho Constitution, im po any other sentence than that of impriso ment, and that all judgments authorizii sales into servitude are in \ iolation of t: amendment, and therefore void. Thc r solution laid over. Mr. Stevens was called upon, and inti duced an amendment to the bill to provi t rovcrnments for the South, providing th no person shall bc deprived of tho right vote, by reason of conviction or punis nn-nt for treason, or suspicion thereof. J stated that he offered the amendment, L tausche had been reliably informed thi in North Carolina and other States, in a ticipation of the passage of thc bill, t people were preferring charges andhavi negroes whipped, in order that they mi;; be disqualified. The amendment was 1 dcrod io be printed, and the bill was ft ther postponed. Tho President transmitted a message, vetoing the negro sjtfichge Vii ll. fil?rrilLcontended that the white people who voted against such franchise were not true exponents of tho principles. En as? certaining the popular will,both white and black ought to bo consulted. The white people had not liing todo with the ques? tion, the District hi dug under thc execu? tive and legislative control of Congress. Others spoke in favor of passing thc hill over tlie veto. Johnson, Doolittle and Cowan replied, contending that Congress should respect the wishes of the people herc, aini because they wera helpless, should not act in a tyrannical manner. Tho hill passed over the veto-2'.* against li). Among the latter was acting Vice President Foster. Fifteen members were absent. The House is yet to act upon the. bill, and it is not doubted that they, te?., will fellow th" example of the senate, the Pre? sid? ni's objections notwithstanding. CnosE OF THRRIOT INVESTIGATION. A despatch from New Orleans, dated .Jd inst., says: ? The Congressional riot investigat? ing committee closed taking testimo? ny to-day. They omitted taking the testimony of many witnesses who were before the grand jury, and others whose names were furnished by the city and State officers. In examining, to-day, Judge L'heard, who holds under an appoint? ment fron- Mahn and Wells, their questions and remarks to him evi? dently showell that they had already decided the case, and could brook no statements which did not own disloy? alty to be the sentiment of the peo? ple. Judge Theard declaring thc people loyal and thc rights of Union men respected, the Judge was asked if he had been in thc Confederate service, to which lie replied that he returned to Iiis allegiance in 1804. This was much earlier than was done by many of the prosecuting witnesses. Tun REDECTION or TUE POSTAGE. On and after the 1st instant, a reduc? tion of postage will take place, in thc postage upon letters and newspapers conveyed by a British packet, or partly by British and partly by an United States packet, from this coun? try to any foreign ports in the West linties, and that, in consequence of such reduction, the rah s of postage to places hereafter named will be as follows: Upon letters for Guadalope, Elayti and Martinique ria England, twenty-nine cents per single rate of half au ounce, and upon newspapers, four cen ts each, pre-payment required, '"pen letters for Porto Rico, Jamaica and other West India Islands, except ('nba, by British mail via Havana, eighteen cents per single rate of half ounce; newspapers four cents each, pre-paymeut required. It appears from the Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, of the 25th ult., that thc bill lately introduced in Congress by Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, for the re? construction of North Carolina .from the bottom to the top is a North Carolina idea; Un the Standard says .that "to put all doubts at rest, we now stale em? phatically that the bill referred to, and which proposes' gradually but finally to supersede the present State organization set up under martial law, was prepared by Messrs. John Pool, Jas. F. Taylor anti W. W. Hol? den, at the request of Mr. Stevens, and was introduced in thc House by the latter on thc loth of December. These persons arc solely responsible for the measure, and they are pre? pared to stand or fall by it." Short jackets for thc house, and Ov'en for morning shopping, are made of black cloth, dotted all ovei with yellow silk, after the manner ol "jet dotting," and trimmed about the edge with a yellow cord. Some? times, jocky jackets are made in thi? style, and have large gold buttons to fasten them in front and ornament them behind. The immense pockets are also fastened down with gold buttons. A Roman paper says of tho French Emperor: "Napoleon the Third has fallen back; ho is lost. He has re? treated from Poland from fear ol Russia; he bas retreated from Ger? many from fear of the needle-gun; he has retreated from Mexico from feai of thc Uniteel States; he has retreated from Rome from fe ir of Orsini and Mazzini." General Howard, as one of thc trustees, has purchased grounds and buildings for a university for a uni? versity for colored men in Washing? ton. It will bc openeel about the first of February.

Tho Georgia Supreme Court, de? cided, in a ease brought before it thc other day, that "the wife and chil? dren of a person who created a lien I \ upon Iris property, may secure their interest in the same by proceeding under the insolvent laws, without resort to equity." The White .County (Arkansas) liecord states that immense numbers of small snakes, of tim thickness of horse hairs, were seen on the7thult., near the town of Searcy. Where they came from-whether from the clouds above, or ibo "waters under the earth"-is a mystery. Plain stripes in silks ?iud satins are going out of style. The new silks are all elaborate in design, and of tho heaviest quality-revivals, in fact, of the silks of Lyons, in the days of Louis XV. Parties in Washington, professing to be well informed in the Mexican question, are fearful that the Mata? moros trouble may lead to compli? cations with Napoleon. Ex-Governor Marvin, of Florida, who is in Washington, says there is not the remotest prospect of Florida ever ratifying tho constitutional amendments. ft is stated that since the pulpit denunciation of the "Black Crook," tht! front seats at Nil do's Theatre are crowded nightly by grave and reve? rend gentlemen in white neckties. The new fashion is a bonnet "in which a chignon is attached, so that a lady purchasing a covering for her head can bc at the same time supplied with her back hair as well.
