8 UNITED STATES CUSTOMS. Names of the Collectors, Surveyors and Naval Officers. 70 THE BDITOR OF TRE UERALD, ‘The coustitution vests the power for raising revenue for support of the United States government in Con- grees, Dy declaring that ‘‘the Congress shall have power te jay aba collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises’? The word “taxes” is used to denote al} amposed by the government for the support of the State, *Duties” and “imposts”” have reference to merchandise ‘er other property imporied from foreign countries; while “excises” have application to inland impos. wmions. Until a recent period the moneys for mesting the public expenditures have been mainly from !inposts, this mode having been found the ‘east burdensome to the people, as well as by far the most efficient, e Many years back it was a favorite policy with Congress to mposo high duties on articles imported, especially soch as were similar in description to those mapufac- ‘ured in this country, This policy was, however, abap- doned, it being ascertainéd, from experience, that it vended to defeat its own object (the encouragement of American manvfactures),‘owing to the multiplication of manovfecturing establishments to which it gave rise. “Fhe rettied conviction, both in and out of Congress, has appeared to be, for a long time, that no more revenue should be raised than might be sufficient for an economi- ‘ea: sministration of the government. The enormous expenses growing out ef the recent war, it is known, have interfered latterly with this recognized theory of Jow tariffs, % The principal officers employed in the collec- of tne imposis or customs dutis are the collectors, surveyors, naval ofiicers ap- of merchandise, The three former classes wore provided for by the great soltection act of 94 March, 1709; the last mentioned by statutes of a tach wovre recent period. The very elaborate act referred to, whien may be regarded as the fundamental law still in existence for reguiating the collection of the customs duties, made it the duty of the aw to receive the entry ‘of aj! ships and vessels, and of merchandise im- ried in them, and to their inanifests in book: | oy for the purpose; also, along with the Dene officer where there ia one, to estimate the amount of the duties payanio thereon, endorsing the satd amount on their re- gpective enirles. Also to receive all moneys paid for @utiex, and to take all bonds ter securing the enng, ea well as to gravt al) permits for the unlading and delivery of goods, J also made it the duty of euch officers, with she approhation of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, to eropioy gauges, mesgurers and inspectors, at the ports within their respective divtricts; also to provide at the public. expense storehouses for the safe keoping of onde . ‘The dnties of the naval officer are to receive copies of al) wanifests aud entries of vessels arriving; to esti- mate ihe duties on mportec merchandise, in connection with the Collector, and keep @ separate record thereof; te conntersign all’ permits, clearances, and other docu- ments granted by the Collector; to examine the Col- Jector’s abstracts of duties, and his other accounts, and vo certify (he samo if found correct. ‘Whe surveyor is directed to superintend the inspectors, wefghors, measurere, &e., within his port, to visit and twspect the verseis arriving therein, and make o return im writing every isorming to the Collector of vessels ar- riviog the previous day from foreign ports, &c. WAREHOUSING Avory interesting feature in the customs poticy, as sdministerad Iatterly, is the warehousing of laporied merchandise. Prior tw 1846 no extensive or general pro- rsions on this aubject had been authorived, so that the dmporier was not permitted to ublade Dis htinble goods Ail ne bed passed them through the Custom House, A Jaw was passed in that year exempting merchants from Qbe payment of duties on their importations until the desire to wke them into market, or other motive might mako tbexpediont to make such payment. A privilego ‘of this kind atforded a great facility to commerce. Con- gros was prevailed on to grant this great boon to mer- ehav's principally b by the ae Rone of (he Secretary of tho Treasury, Rober: er, who bad-been lod to examine and’ apj rain the vaat benetits that had re- puitod to the British government from ber wrarchousing eysiom, He hed learned that ander the inilience of this dpsovement in ber revenue system her docks and ware- Doures had become & storehouse forthe manufactured products of the world, and that her customs receipts porarin im @ comparatively short portod, while a hor beneficial result bad becn that vesseis arnving in ports were epabied to obiain in her grand ware- Dowsing depots without delay assoried cargoes of the Mbric# ano mechanica! sxill of every Pétion.

Quiruax, Brooks county, Ga, Nov. 19, 1866. AB great anxiety is felt by speculators and manufac- turers, both in our country and Europe, to learn the Probable quantity of cotton that will be mised th the South the current year, 1 will state the impression made om my own mind in reference to it, and repors some facts that may agsist others in forming cotelusions for themselves, 1 will premise, however, tbaljI have no personal interest in the malier, being neithi a planter, a ‘tor, nor @ manufacturer, but a ““Jooker on in Vienna,” ‘The press in the South have generally repesented that the crop of the present year will fall short 2f 1,600,000 ‘bales; some expross the opinion that it will not exceed 1,000,000, My own Impression is that it not fall short of 2,000,000 bales, This im) has been made by what 1 have myself seen of the in South- orn Georgia, East and Middle Florida, ant by reports received from reliable sources of the crop it other sec- tions of the country; but I will to notice, eoriatim, some of the data upon which thos who make the lowest estimate of the growing crop bap their con- clusions :— Firstt—The general complaint made throug the papers of short crops, ef drought, excessive raing bollworms, caterpillars, &c. Canany one remember th year when such complalnte were not made during jummer and early autumn? I once was young, but old, yet can I not remember the timo when it was ewr admitted, through the Southern press, that there be a full jenerally some cause wi nesigned | “Thy he orop might bo expected vo fal moe EE one-half, or more, ‘hese reprosen' ene to ‘weep up ‘he | price of cotton. The prod th I sat esti exceeded the caloulations madelta 4 seasons, ‘The diminution in the area culthyntod and in the force employed in the cultivation of caton. It is wae a very urepeeser ‘of every largo pimtation has been lett this year a waste of weds, Itis also true that the. ee mo aneren has beengroatly di- minished. There bas been a perfect rush o the freed- men (and the women too) to the towns atd villages, Many of these find profitable employment, any are Any well; but very many more loaf aboat, being tm lazy viciously disposed ‘to labor regularly for thenselves or any one else. This latter class, however, is beiyg reduced every month by disease and conviction of offences in our courts of justice, which subjects them to imprisonment in tho penitentiary. The offences for which they aro thus sentented to con- finemont are often committed avainst. persom of their ‘own color, As an offset to the reason last aseimed for a short crop, I will state a few incontrovertible facts:—1. ‘The decrease in tho area cultivated allows the planter to select the best lands for his cotton, 2 Frequently new Jand, and Jand hitherto planted only in com, is now planted for tho first time in cotton, ‘and cotton always does best on such Jands. 3. The proportion of cotton planted to the hand this year is much greater than waual. 4. Many of our poor backwoods people, who never enlti- ated cotton before, have uow small felds in which it is nitivated; and in nearly all eur country towns and vil- ages the rich lots hitherto cnitivaied as ‘track patches’’ are now put in cotton; and the cotton is, of course, doing well. Third.—A third reason assigned for a short crop is the idlenese of the hands. It is true the unecessary inter. ference, in many parts, of the military and the Freed- men’s Bureau, during the flmst part of the year, operated very ranch to the prejudice of the planting interest in the South, and encouraged the freedmen (though not intended to do eo) to disregard the instructions and anthority of their employers, and to be remiss in the discharge of their duties; but in sections remote from military eneampments they hav other paris, sinco tho withdrawal of the military, they havo done mach better than wes anticipated. L ze fields of cotton and corn have beon given up to the grass,and the roasyn assigned for it hag gonerally been ‘the freedmen would not work.” In very many instances the truo reason has been the planter wae too evaricions; he planted too much to the hand.
