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, . The. propri?
