We believe that justice, the cause of good morals, and the best interests of the State will be thereby promoted. We believe that this is the least oppressive of all taxesK and that its rigid collection onght to be enforced. There is not one, subject to its payment, (except the physically disabled who can procure exemption from the County Commissioners) who cannot pay it with one to four days labor a cheap price to pay for the protection they receive for life, liberty and property. We beleve that it will bring into' the treasury nearly or quite one hundred thousand dollars more than is now paid in and that as the law now stands, and is administered, it operates to encourage knavery and idleness and unjustly to burden the honest and industrious.

We beliave it will prove a clear gain to that amount to the annual income of the 8tate, with injury and oppression to none. It is the knavish and idle, who now shirk the payment of this tax. These, if you will make the Sheriffs responsible, will be made to devote to honest labor a few of the days they now spend in loafing. And it will strip baa men of whatever party of one of their most effective engines of corruptly controlling votes. If the law, as it now stands, is not sufficient to ensure the Sheriffs against loss, enlarge his authority, until it is made so.

Think not, say not that good and responsible) men will not take the office with thia-responsibility attached. There is no likelihood of this, The writer of this who never wanted the ofiice and would never have accepted it, if you will pass this law, will take it in a county in which the poll tax payable is one of the largest in the State. We are aware that this proposition will encounter bitter and violent opposition from those who now escape the payment of this tax but we hope that no personal consideration will influence you to decline to enact this law so plainly just and conducive to the well-being of our State. Tuk Retail Trade ok New Yohk Citt, usually very active at this season is dull to an extent bordering on stagnation in eome branches. The retail stores on the leading avenues and streets, it is staetd, present daily a scene difficult oi' comprehension to the casual observer.

The usual crowd of shoppers is not there, and the comparatively few customers find clerks unusually polite, with plenty of time to exhibit goods. The principal retail firms are olTering bargains, and goods are reduced in price in order to stimulate trade. Gkn- Eahlt. The lecture of the noble old hero to the "Survivors' Association'' at Columbia, S. was most eloquent and impressive.

We learn by a private letter from the General that there was great interest and enthusiasm manifested in the objects of the Association. He desires to have the N. C. Association organized and at work as soon as possible. If the General will repeat his address in our model town, we have no doubt that it would give an impulse to the organization.

Southern ITomt. The price of votes at the IJoston election, it is said by a truly loyal journal, ranged during the morning from a barrel of flour down to salted codfish or two glasses of lager but the rates advanced in the afternoon so much that the "free and independent" could not be had for less than the price of a barrel of flour each while the "dignified" did business at the rate of $20 in greenbacks for each vote.

C. SATURDAY HOV. 25, 1871 COMMUNISM. The Commune Is no new idea. Aa has been truly said "there ia nothing new under the sun," and nothing re-rifiea the adage more than the return cf the notion embodied in this base-born political heresy.

It ia conceiy-ed in the lowest passions of humanity, with envy for its father and a low state of moral depravity ita nursing mother. It has ita riae in national history when holy things are ceaaed to bo reverenced, when authority ia no longer respected, and feeda and fattens upon the fury of the maaws, a. wild rampant love of change and chaotic innovations, and a total disregard for all ancient landmarks and time-honored institutions. It haa aa a prime object an impractibility, a universal equality, and it aeeka to gain its ends by ignoble humiliationa, the degTedation of the high instead of an elevation of the low, and while it boast-, vauntingly of its catholic philanthropy, it endeavors to exercise it by bringing to a low level every trait superiority. Its whole aim ia depravity, its every purpose debasing, and when fairly inaugurated ita re-ulrs are the most insane extremities.

The Commune ia not a French haracteristir, nor indeed a peculiar trait of any nationality, but ia found in the history of almost every people, visiting them at some periods aa a withering satire upon civilization, and a wasting blight upon advancement anl prosperity. It ia true that it not enly appeared in France at the fall of Napoleons, but also was the evil ui the re.in. of terror' in 92. i-- ban-tul influence was felt aa late the Roman I.icinian law when it resulted in most visionary notions agrarianism. It visited England an Spain, though sometimes in better gui-e Utopian socialism, and Las now, in this 19th century, returned to us with all of ita accused force.

'lothel in the garb of a false humani-tarianism, it ia breaking down every of honorable distinction and attempting to plant upon its ruin the unwie and un philosophical doctrine universal equality. Especially ia the effort made in the South. The wiae and good have been deprived of all hance of emolument, and offices of or and trust debased by conferring them upon ignorance and vice. A wh le race of untutored beings have bn suddenly granted the fullest lights of citizenship, after centuriea slavery, without any time allowed for the preparation of ita enjoyment-The places once occupied by the best cur sons, whom our State and delighted to honor, are now not thought too good to be filled by men who rn scarcely read plain english, rawl a mutilated ctom for their signatures. The sacred principles of our Constitution, which all political partiea alike have reverenced, have been ruthlessly trodden under foot.

The sovereignty of the States has been invaded, and the great palladium of American liberty placed in the hands a violent, prejudiced and sectional dictator. 0 tfmpora! 0 moretf Raiii-alism, thou art a legitimate hil uf the Commune, a son in whom it is well pleased. Then arise fellow eountrvtuea and crush the accursed iaoQter. the hissing dragon from your sight, deep down, covered with the vorn and indignation of a and virtuous people. FREE AND FAIR ELECTION.

i rant organ at Washington eaya it will require at least ten thousand regular troops, distributed through the Southern States to insure a free and fair election there in '72, and hence that it may be Congress to make a corresponding im ren-e in the army. Tui is one of the signs of the timea and indicates the course the great Ulysses intends to pursue to gain hia re-elpction. lie will doubtless carry out the suggestion of hia grand vixier on place the whole South undeT ir. dwiry rule to secure a free and fair We are surprised however it he should think so small a number a 1 quate. Hia ideas have undergone at diminution since the summer of 170, for then about one fifth of that number was requisite to secure freed jm of election in the small territories of Alamance "and Caswell.

We would think that it would be n. essary to have at least twice ten thousand in the 8tate of Virginia, judging from the great disloyalty so recently demonstated there.

Under the head of Education the Governor ia enthusiastic that all should be taught to read and write, and the use of figures, and urges the Legislature to "fear not to levy a tax for this glorious cause." He complains that the people have not seconded the ef-forta made in behalf of the University, and recommends that some means be adopted to prevent the sale of the the property for debt, and that the doon be dosed until more prosperous times.
