Editor Advertiser The resolutions adopted at the meeting of tax payers, on Thursday, appear to mm to be very unwise, for two reasons i 1st.

The mandamus tax ia assessed alike on real and personal property. There is no law that authorises a defaulting tax payer to aedeem personal property sold for taxes, and to follow the recommendations of the meeting would be foroee the personal property tax payer to pay his taxes or allow his property sold, without any chance even to reclaim it; whereas the real estate tax payer can suffer his real estate sold and he has two years from the date of sale in which to redeem the same. For this reason, the recommend a-tions of the convention are cialmilated to do the personal property tax pay a great lninry. The second reason is that the Mayor and Aldermen have already beena djudged guilty of oontempt of the United States Dlstrlot Court, for failing to assess and collect the tax. There Is a judgment oi tne eonrt declaring them guilty of the offense, but the court Dostooned oasfdng sentence until the 15th of July next.

This delay was evidently for the purpose of giving the city a further opportunity to pay tne tax, ana, no oonot, the court would consider the payment thereof in mitigation of the punishment to be imposed on the Mayor ana ii mermen. If the recommendations of the meetnig are followed, there will be no money to pay the debt of Hart, and there will be nothing for the Mayor and A'dermen to offer in mitigation of the offense of which they are already convicted. They cannot say that, since our conviction, we bave endeavored to oollect the tax, but could not do so. To such a plea the court will say "your defence oomes too late: you were commanded to aas and oollect this tax, and you refused to do so, and you were properly adjudged guilty of contempt of this court. The effort made by you sinoe your conviction does not purge you of your offence.

You have been convicted of d'sobeying the orders of thtg court by fa)' in a to assess and oollect at the time and in the manner directed by the court, aud it therefore becomes the duty of the oon-t to commit you to jail, etc," Is it right that we should place our mayor and aldermen in such au embarrassing position? We elected them to office and they have served us faithfully, and for one, am on-willhur to force them to suffer by our act, The act of the convention looks to me, verv much tike an invitation from the real estate tax payers to the Mayor and Aldermen and the personal property tax payers to come and let us go to the devil togethar, and inasmuoh as the Mayor and A Ides men and tne personal propony tax payers are already badly crippled, they must start first. Very respectfully, J. B. F. formanoes especially bis remarkable letter, addressed to the South, seems to have left little rofcpect the hearts of bis people, for the poor, "erring brother." The Memphis Appeal says: "The people of Tennessee hang their heads in shame when they see a renegade son becoming the bosom friend and assooiate of John Sbebmak, who visits Louisiana search of a pal to oommit per.

jury and forgery. Ket has heretofore been regarded as a high-toned gentleman, but he will sink lu publio estimation since he has become the friend of the "visifrng statesmen" who rushed to Louisiana and took from the oesspool of corruption Anderson, and bargains with' b'm, corrupts him, debauches him, blackens him, takes him into his confidence, and promises to reward h'm for services, which, for arrodousne ss, wil match any crime that the arch-fiend of per dition ever planned. The Baltimore Qaztfte, however, seems more than chagrined at the course of the unfortunate "representative of the South" so called. It says The attempt to place the honor of the discovery of David M. Key upon the shoulders of a feUow calling himself Boulds Baker, is sheer nonsense.

All careful students of modern politics know very well that Mr. Kev was due ud by Deacon Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Qazstte, and placed in Mr. Hayes'oabinet of curiosities as an example to erring brethren the world over. Unavailing brts. In another place we quote an opinion as to Stasxet Matthews, expressed by the New York Times, the great leading Radi cal sheet of the United States.

It very clearly admits that the Republican party must be quit of these ruinous "visiting statesmen it does not seem, however, quite ready to admit the fact, which every honest man ought now to see, that the entire Badioal party, from head to foot, is filled with the sickening slime upon which just such creatures as 'Sheeman, Spekceb, old Mad Wells and the like revel, feast and fatten to the full. Now, here is the sickly style in which the Times tries to work its way out of the horrible odors that surround the foul and fetid carcass of Mr. Hates' Treasury chief Considering Mr. Shebmaii's reputa tion for shrewdness, his course is inexplicable. His first defiant letter was wen enough.

It sounded like the outburst of an honest man, who having been unjustly aspersed, demanded an immediate opportunity of vindicating himself. His wiut newspaper corresponaenis wno called upon him for information was of the same character. Very different, however, has been bis conduct since the committee opened the proceedings. A damaging letter, bearing his signature, was produced. The contents were fairly susceptible of a construction which an honorable man would not like to have placed upon bis action.

Mr. Sheb- mak 8 vinaicauon aepenas upon us aomiy to explain away the suspicious epistle or to rid himself of it as a forgery, fore the committee he did neithot. Instead of denying authorship, he met the question with equivocations which may not be incompatible with innocence but are more naturally suggestive of embarrassed guilt. The matter stands now as he left it then. He has, indeed, communicated a second time with the committee, but for what purpose To convey the names of witnesses "who," he Bays, "will prove that outragesand intimidation were perpetrated upon white and black Republican voters in Louisiana," and requesting that these witnesses be called.

We have no doubt that plenty of witnesses can be obtained to testify upon this point, and the committee will convict itself of gross' partisanship if, before its labors end, facilities be not afforded Republicans for establishing their version of the Louisiana election. But, in the meantime, what most concerns Mr. Shxbmah is the justification, explanation, or denial of the letter whieh stands upon the records of the committee and is accepted by the greater part of the community as incompatible with the political integrity of the "visiting statesmen" and his own purity. Until this task be performed until he clear himself of the bad odor whioh that letter emits he cannot with propriety figure in the case. The Crops and Storms.

Without variation up to a few days ago came reports of good crops throughout the State. The oat crop proved to be the best harvested since the war. Wheat suffered some from rust, but the yield is greater in the aggregate than last year. The trees are loaded down with fruit. Corn and cotton have suffered some drawbacks, but owing to their advanced state, are in better oondtion, than for several years past.

The heavy rains of this week it is feared wUl do much damage. The hail and wind storm on Sunday the 9th inst, did great harm. It seems to have been peculiar in its attentions. In RusseU county it was Very destructive to crops. In this region, no great harm was done, but up in certain points in Etowah county, and Walker county, there was great havoc The Gadsden Times says: In the neighborhood of Groensport there was the most destructive cyclone last Sunday known to the oldest inhabitants.

It came down the Ashvflle and Greens-port road and between the latter place and Mr. Whisenant's, a distance of one mile and a half, every tree and fence and every cotton field and corn field was a total wreck. Mr. Abe Green's gin house and mill, together with his large barn and cotton press, were completely wrecked. Hundreds of acres of valuable timber were torn into kindling wood.

The mfll belonging to Mr. R. W. Whisenant, of this place, below Greensport was entirely blown away nothing left. 'The side: of the mountain just across the river from the mill was a perfect mass of fallen timber.

Further damage was probably done by the tornado, but we bave heard of none thus far. The Jasper Eagle published in Walker county says: The heaviest hail storm that has ever been known in this county, feU last Sunday even ins at 2 o'clock. It came from the north west, and literally Rtrinned the class from the windows on the north and west sides of the houses, demolished old roofs on the houses, killed aU the chickens and turkeys that were exposed, stripped the rruit clean from the trees, tore the corn, cotton and vegetables to threads, in short, it was simply calamitous, and dealt destruction in its tracKs. ne greater portion or me stones were larger than a goose egg, and many of them as large as a pint cup. A mile north of here it was still heavier, and was not all melted the next moraine.

It seemed to be in strips, skipplns sections, and winding about in its course. A second hail, much lighter passed south of here about an hour afterwards, just touching here, and doing some damage in the mam body.

Mr. dames iieUoy, of Lindwood. was killed last week by the falling of a tree.

The facts as we bave heard them, are as follows On the morning of the day of his death, he had been plowing in a field somo distance from his house. His mother and his little child were also in the same field. and when the hour of twelve arrived they all started home for dinner, ma mother being tired, he proposed for her to ride the mule and carry the child, which she did. There being no saddle on the mule, Mr. Keliey walked along beside his mother and held her on with one hand.

They were passing under a tree on which the trunk of a fallen tree was resting, when the same broke loose and feU, striking Mr. Keliey on the head, killing him instantly.

Uur citizens are a little exercised over the numerous arrests that are being made by Deputy United States Marshal Edwards, who is prompt in the discharge of his duties, yet courteous and gentlemanly in the exercise of his authority.

Something must be wrong in this matter. Some of our best citizens are being arrested and carried before our United States commissioner for violating the revenue laws, against whom there is not even a shadow of proof. It appears that a Mr. Z. T.

Booth upon receiving a name ss principal and from two to four as witnesses, makes affidavit that he "has reason to believe and does believe that the parties reported are guilty of the offense charged, npon whioh our United States commissioner issues a warrant for arrest, whether the person so reporting be reliable or not. There certainly ought to be a remedy for this great evil, which is de priving some of our best citusens or tneir rights and liberties without even a shadow of proof as to their being guilty of any crime.

Car ment. In "view of these facts and the evident disposition on the part of this creditor to harrass, the citizens of Montgomery held a meeting and adopted resolutions which appeared in our columns yesterday morning. There is certainly nothing offensive either in their spirit or in the language in which they are couched and the meet the approval of almost every one. Our correspondent B. thinks that they are unwise and for two reasons, viz "The mandamus tax is assessed alike on real and personal property and there is no provision for the redemption of personal property sold at tax sale." We will inform our correspondent that many ordinances have been passed by the city ootmcil since the provision of the city code was enacted to which he evidently refers.

He will find that provision has also been made for the redemption of personal property sold for this tax. The Mayor and city council are in no way responsible for the action of the meeting and we fail to see how it can influence their action in any way. They are no more re sponsible for it than for a chance conversa tion between any citizens. The fact that it was a large meeting and that many of the best and most substantial citizens participat-, ed in it cannot change the status of affairs. It does indeed show that the man who bids for or purchases any of the property sold to pay the tax will not be held in high estimation by reputable citizens, but we would deprecate any excitement in case such a man should be found.

The city government has had an arduous task and they have endeavored faithfully to do their duty. They have thus far succeeded in their efforts to arrange the flnan- cial troubles of the city and we do not doubt that if it were neoessary they had rather go to jail for a technical contempt than to suffer the work which has been so well done and whioh was attended with much labor and expense, to be marred by the suocess of this one ravenous creditor It would be passing strange if any court of justioe should hold the city government responsible for the declarations of third persons over whom they cannot possibly have any control. And so far as the payment of the tax would purge the Council of the alleged contempt, that act is already passed, and they are now showing every disposition to enforce the collection of the tax. We repeat that so far as our observation has extended, the resolutions meet the approval of every one, and we trust that our correspondent will be convinced not only of the wisdom of these resolutions, but in view of all the circumstances tinder which they were offered that he will see that they were absolutely neoessary.

A failure, to shell oat liberally will be construed aajsympathy with the "dangerous agitations" and "revolutionary measures" which give such uneasiness to the Republican Campaign Committee. Not very lone ago a civil service order was issued by Mr. Hates forbidding assessments for campaign purposes upon the government employes. But since then Mr.

Hates has been under pressure. Eo-orsn Haijc has reasoned with him and other Republicans have wrestled with him in prayer, until at last he has relaxed bis stem rule and will permit the clerks to make "voluntary" contributions. Mr. Hum, to make oertain that the contributions shall foot up well, places the minimum at twelve dollars and asks for as much more as possible. Prudent clerks will not stop at twelve dollars; they will be on the safe side and volunteer a great deal more; for this "Revolution" and these "dangerous agitations" must be put down it matters not how much the business interests of the clerks suffer.

I Tb.e otter Investigation. An able Western exchange which has been watohing with eyes wide awake, the pro gress of this already famous investigation, indulges in a few reflections after this mann ear: There have been a number of in vestigating committees, and a number of Radical scoundrels have been compelled to go into exile. Every investigation bas created a necessity for more investigations until an era of investigations has been forced upon the country. The Potteb investigation committee is now probing the RVj'' party, and results astonish the world. There seems to be no bottom to Radical frauds.

Radical conspirators are forced before the public singly, in pairs, in groups, by tens and by scores. John SmmnraN is blistered, Stanley. Matthews is dead, plague spots are upon Hates, Judge HABiaAN's robes are likely to be smirched, the infamous eight of the electoral aommisaion will not escape the lightning of the people's indignation. Frauds multiply with every sitting of the Potteb committee; the area of the investigation widens; its probes go deeper every time, touching some scaly scoundrel, who is dragged forth to shock the world by the hldeousness of his crimes and the depravity of his nature. The investigation will be historical.

Its revelations are to radicalism what strych nine is to dogs; it kills. They are blowing the Radial party to the devil as certainly as if it were subjected to the explosion of a million tons of nitro glycerine. Butler and Conecuh. Gbxebville, June 14th.

It comes direct from Columbus, Ohio, and fa said to be the "one held by Mr.

Maithxws' friends. It is, in brief, that Mr. Matthews is now conscious that he permitted AiroxBsoNto hoodwink and deceive him, and that he is ashamed to make a frank confession of the fact." -And, yet, for all this feminine mod esty that has overmastered the mighty Senator, he boldly asserts that if the Potteb committee men would only behave themselves like gentlemen, and especially if old Ben Butler wouldn't be so blustering and overbearing, he would then step right down from his senatorial immunities, and tell like a man, how It was the cunning, little redhead scamp, of Feliciana fame, hoodwinked and handled him for his own selfish purpose.

Having been bound up in Paris during the siege, the editor of the London Truth ought know something about the taste of the meat of the various kinds of animate which were then used for human food. A shop for the aele of horse flesh having been rooentiy opened in London, he 'writes, apropos of it: A contemporary calls upon me to give my experience of horse flesh. It is like third rate beef it cannot be said to bave a dinugrfwaKle taste, for it has no taste at all.

Donkey, on the other hand, ia desicions and infinitely better eating than beef or mutton. This the French soon discovered during the siege of Paiia, for a "portion" of donkey eost six, times as much as a 'portion of horse. Uata taste exactly like-rabbits it is impossible to between them.

I am surprised that there is not a society for the promotion of eating rats. Why should not piisoners be fed with these nourishing and prolific little animals.
