Montgomery, March 6?The recent memorial presented in Iba United States Semite by Spencer was printed in the Adttriiner, this morning, and denounced for its statements. Harris, a white Republican Senator, rose in bis scat on a question of privilege. He denounced the memorial, and said he never signed it und had never seen it until this morning. He said he voted for nearly all the laws which the memorial denounce'*, and concluded by the statement thut his name was forged. Royal, a ooiored Senator, said J. B. Bigham brought a paper to him and asked his signature. He did not read it, bot understood the paper to be a petitiou to make Arthur Big ham postmaster of Montgomery. Ho said he would never have signed the memorial knowingly. Another negro Senator said he thought be was sign? ing u protest against Parsons' appoint meut to a United States Judgeship. Several otb< r Republican Senators re? pudiated all knowledge of it, and one of them, a negro, said he had voted for the bills which the memorial com? plained of. The Senate appointed a committsc tc find cut who were the guilty parties in practicing this fraud upon theoountry. The Housa of Representatives, by u unanimous vote, expelled a negro member named Gaskin for proposing to do oertaiu thiugs in bis legislative capacity for 83U0 The committee consisted of three Democrats nud one white and oue colored Republican, and reported unanimous y that he was gailty. The Committee ou the Judiciary of the Senate, to whom was referred Hie petition of the oiiizena of DoS .to County, Mississippi, praying tue re? turn of taxes assessed and collected ou cotton for the years 18C5, 1S6G, 18C7, 186S and 1SG9, say in their report: The petitiou of the citizens of DtSjio Couuty, Miss., axks the return of the tax ou aotton for tho years 1S65 to 1809, inclusive, ou the grounds that the tax was unjust and oppressive, und because it was unconstitutional. The Government of tho Uuited States hat. been obliged to raise a large amouut by taxation to defray the expenses of the reoent war. The property ami in? dustries at the Norl h have been heavi y taxed, nud as cotton constituttd the priuoipal wealth of the South, the committee seo no reason why u tax upou it should be considered unjust or oppressive. The cotton tax has been olaimed to be uooountitutional for th ?? following reasons: First?Because it is equivalent to a direct tax, aud is not laid according to the population Wneu the Constitution was framed, the larger States were careful to provide that u direct lax should bo according to po? pulation, for fear that a tax upon iuud by the acre might impose large und unequal burdens upou them. Hence, the Coustitntion, Article I, Section 2, provides that direot taxes shall bo ap? portioned among tbe several States ac? cording to an enumeration made e\Jery ten yeara. But the cotton tux is not a direct or a land tax; it is a tax on the productions of laud; it is an excise ou ootton severed from the laud iu bale, and by the pound. Second?Tbe tax is olaimed to ba unconstitutional be? cause it is not uniform. The 8ib Sec? tion of Artiole I provides that alt ex? cises shall be uniform throughout the United States. This tax is uniform. It is the same, wrhethar tbe ootton be in Maine or in 'Louisiana. The fact that ootton is gTOwjl'^t the Soutb, and not at the Ifortb^o?6SieSno want of uni? formity An| moTeifcan the fact that ma nufaotuiemra (paed at the North more than afr'tho Sjrob, finders a tax ou the produces Of the Northern mechanic partial aodjocftt. ' Auy one can raise ootton, and, ks a matter of fact, North? ern capitalist invested in . its produc? tion. The eioife |a uniform. Third It is said th? iaiS is unconstitutional because it is ft'tax on exports. The 9th Section of Aftjolo I provides that no tax or duty'shall ho Isla" on artioles ex? ported from ooy State. The fact that any artiole may^'tfe* Ofc^-is largely ex ported, does not make the article an exported article. This is simply a tax o? cotton. Tho object of tho Consti? tution was to prohibit a tax bp expor? tation, aud this tax is not that. The committee,' therefore, recommend that the petition bo not allowed. Until within a few dayb the plan of arbitrating Louisiana affairs, so far as' tho committee were concerned, was not positively fixdd. It may how be stated that the case will be considered by the whole committee, and that they will commence work as soon as papers coming from New Orleans reaoh them, probably as early aa .'Wednesday or Thursday of next week, .
