C. tin CICERO W. HARRIS, - Editor. Wkdji'ksdav Morning, January 15, 1879. The Tobacco Tax. A movement to have the oppressive to bacco tax reduced has been made at every Congress since the war. In this matter, because the boot is on the Southern Ie Congress'seems incorrigibly unjust. ' We see that the president. of the Mer chants' Tobacco Company of New York and Boston has appeared before "the1 Sen ate Coruraittefc on Finance. in opposition to the reduction., -There, is a cat io.tuia meal tub, or rather, there are several felines, but their tails stick out and their mewing betrays their presence These people represent a constituency of tobacco manu facturers who, either by evasions of the law or by their superior wealth can afford to manufacture the article more cheaply than the Southern factories can. They know that if the tax is maintained the manufac ture of tobacco in the South will be kept at a stand-still or be crinnled. Thev hope for the worst with all the zest of self-interest. It is their desire to keen ... the tax high, they being better able to sta'nd it than the impoverished Southern manufacturers. Then they know, fur ther, that if the tax should be lowered an impetus would be given at once to South ern production of the article, and the South could be correspondingly benefited us they would lose. These men look narrowly at the business of the present moment. If they would study the situation thoroughly they would see that as the South is built up iu any industry the trade of the North is improved. True, thev care not so much about their section as they do about their own personal interests. And just there is the rub. But why cannot these Boston and New York merchant see that it is to their personal advantage to encourage the manufacture of tobacco in the South ? If the article can be manufactured more ex tensively in this region prices will be low 'er.more people will chew and smoke ; the Northern merchant will thus share in the prosperity of his Southern neighbors. It is the low, jealous, stupid," inch-from-yonr:nose policy which actuates many of ' wur Northern friends that stands in the way of our country's prosperity as a whole. Whatever tends to the aggrandizement of jne section at the expense of another is not a solid gain to the country. , In the matter of internal revenue the South has too long borne the burden and heat of the day. AVe pay too large a proportion of the income of the government. It is un just, it is oppressive, it is wicked that the States of the South should thus be made to stagger along under an intolerable load while the industries of the North are, com paratively speaking, exempt. Such injus tice, such national si n, will be punished, or all the codes of morals known to civil ized men will be demonstrated a stupen dous failure, "We prefer to believe in the vindication of our ethics and the vindica tion of our section, which must come, soon er or later. ' Looking Into Frauds he country is entering upon another period of investigation, after a very short interval of repose. ' The Electoral Fraud and the Cipher Telegrams confront each other like two beetling cliffs frowning over an angry channel. The - former is the standing monument to the shame and moral weakness of the great Republican leaders. The deeds of 1876-'77 can never be forgotten. The people' can never for give the conspirators, and History will brand them with letters of eternal infamy". The Potter Committee have a task be fore them which no one envies them. If they, ever get to the bottom of the business it will be only when everybody's patience shall have been worn out. This exhaustion f patience is a quite different thing from excusing the crime and the criminals. There is no sympathy felt among honest men of either party for the rogues in Louisiana' and Florida who sold their in fluence for position and party advantage. There is likewise a pretty general feeling of indignation at the manner in which the Electoral Commission per formed " tne'"duties assigned to it. The Committee are . ding some important work, and whether the pending jevidence of Kelly be finally confirmed or not in its fulness, it is pretty clear that something was rotten in Denmark, and that that something was the forgery of electors' signatures. Let the reader peruse even the brief reports sent out by the Associated Press, and he will see how great a wrong was perpetratedin the electron .of 1876; I The cipher 'telegrams "affair Is likewise to be investigated, we hope honestly, fear lessly and t the very bottom. LetMr.Ull den testify, and Mr. Marble and Mr. Peltoi We are well satisfied Mr. Tilden,whose only ffence in the eyes of the American people : : 1 . i wa3 ; his not obeying their, .implied; in struct ion s when they chose him Presi dent, is innocent of any knowledge of tbfl cipher dispatche. yhetfier ke be man or not, we do not; cannot tlunk,twaa a party tofraa! is , "TJk yerWav Neither for another nor for hrmself would the Re form Governor of New York, have acted as the Republican leaders, including Hayes, have acted.

"This sad recdrd ia made all the more im "pressive by reports that Representative "Thjrnburg, of Tennessee, who went home "to Knoxville tk, is very low with pneu "moniar and that Representative Finley, "Of Ohio, who is al?o detained at home by "sickness, has been taken; with a danger "ous hemorrhajre.

Pegasus himself is the horse that works it. We clenched this bargain with Herr Von Cris Kringle while he made our Grocery Emporium headquarters during Christmas week; This remarkable machine, for which Cris sold us the patent, . grinds out its rhyme To the tune of Auld Lang Syne, and begins thusly : 'Should old acquaintance be forgot When' he's served you many a day, And pleased his patrons "to a dot" Since the time the started here ?" It continues in this ancient metre through several stanzas. .

The annexed embraces a list of all the sots in the House over w hich here will probably be contests in the Forty-sixth Congress: Florida. The majority for Hull (deni.) in the second district being only 13, Bi.-bee (rep.) may contest the seat. Illinois. In the fifteenth district the seat of Forsythe (nat.) mav be contested by Decins, (dem.) In Shelbv county the Republkans printed their -ballots "Forsyth," without the "e," so as to be able todaim or repudiate the candidate, as might be neceessary. The judges returned .595 for Forsyth and 1,528 for For sythe, but the State canvassers gave them all to Forsythe, whose vote was 13,196 to 12,942 for Decius, who claimed that he should have recievedthe certificate and the burden, of showing that Forsvth and Forsythe were iden ; tical been thrown on his opponent. In the ! second district W. II. Condon (nat.) has given notice that he w ill contest the seat of S. R. Davis, (rep.,) whose plurality was 4,236, Condon only recieving 259 votes in a poll of nearly 21,000 votes, but the notice is said to be irregular. I Indiana. In the ninth district the seat of ; Orth (rep.) will be contested by McCabe, j (dem.,) who was beaten by 97. There are I charges that some twenty-five or more college students not residents the State, voted for Orth, and fraud is alleged in Virmillion and r Montgomery counties. The latter was at first i reported as having given McCabe 369, but j fifteen hours afterwards this was reduced to i 261. Iowa. There is likely to be a muddle m consequence of the claim that the October election Was not legal, and that the members elected in November, are entitled to their seats. Eloctions were held in six districts in Novem ber, when the following gentlemen obtained majorities: 2. Hiram Price, R. 5. Rush Clark, R . 6. J. B. Weaver, D . and N . 7 . E . H . Gillette, D. 8. J. C. Holmes, D. 9. JohnW. WTilson, D. The first four were elected in. October, and took this step to mak either claim good in either contingency. Republicans having done this as well as democrats, it cannot be alleged that the move was a "party dodge," and the best legal opinion of Iowa is' divided as to the regularity of the first election . Louisina. In the third district Hebert (Rep. and Nat.) will contest the seat of Acklen, (Dem.) Maryland . Inthefifth districtCrane (Rep. ) will centest the seat of Henkle (Dem.) on the ground of fraud and interference with supervisors. Massachusetts. In the sixth district Boyn ton (National) will contest the seat of Loring, (Rep.;) alleging, among other reasons, that 431 votes for the latter did not specify the office to be filled. Loring's plurality over Boynton was 113 . Minnesota. Id the third district Donnelly (Dem aedNat.) will contest the seat of Washburn ( rep . ) on grounds of bribery,. fec . Washburn's majority was 3,013, but the con testant will further claim that it was largely made up by counting votes of counties not properly organized and omitting Democratic votes . - New York In the twenty -fifth district J. M. Wieting (nat. and dem.)' will contest the seat of Hiscock (rep.), who was elected by i 3,425, on grounds of alleged corruption and intimidation. North Carolina In the first district Yeates (dem . ) will probably contest the seat of Mar tin (rep.)-, the State canvassers having de clined to go behind the returns, which on their face gave Martin 51 majority. In the second' O'Hara (rep. ) will contest the seat of Kitchin (dem.) claimingthat his votes were illegally thrown out in Halifax, Edgecombe, Craven and Lenoir counties, which sent up amended returns. Pennsylvania In the twentieth district Cur tin, (dem.) will contest the 6eat of Yocum (nat. and rep.) on the ground of fraud and bribery; Yocum's majority was 92. There is a squabble over 'the seat of Klots (dera.) in the eleventh district, which is claimed by Al baight. The canvaesisgboard split but Klotz has filed the judicially certified returns of all the counties with the clerk of the House as a safeguard ; They give him 95 majority . There has been some talk of McCandle6s (dem.) contesting the seat of Bingham (rep.) in the first district, where Bingham's plurality was 7,427. Virginia In the ninth district it is said that McMullin (Ind. dem.) will contest the seat of ' Richmond (dem . ) T who was elected bv a plu rality of 291. ; " Wisconsin In the third district King (nat.) will prohably contest the seat of Hazleton (rep. ), whose majority was 120, on the ground ; of colonization of voters in Lafayette county .

No commendation of ours would equal a simple statement of the table of its contents, with the names of the contributors, which we give as an evidence of of the worth of the periodic al.

Peculiarly Southern in its character, and numbering among its contributors some of the best and most vigorous writers in the country, it bears upon its face the stamp of originality and force.
