EY There is no ~acknowlcdg gcd test Of
any mans loyalty that can be universally
applied, but Of one thing everybody may
be su1e-that when journals or politicians
do nothing but find: fault with the Govern
ment, while they can see no occasion for
saying condcmnatory word Of the rebels
who are assailing that government, such
journals and such politicians pretend to be
loyal only because they may, in disguise,
do their secesh friends more good than to
go openly oycr to the rebel ranks. That's
so. Now, who does the coat fiji?

The enemy will be sought, oyertaken and

The Commissioner Of internal Revenue says
that considerable revenue is derived from
the tax Of half cent per pound on cotton
the precise amount Of which he Is, however,
at present unable to giyc-and he thinks that
the tax might profitably and adyantageously
be increased. Probably nobody would be in
jured By such increase, except the swarus Of
Helena and other advanced posts,
It is estimated by sugar reincrs Of New
York that the government has lost at least
$a,0C0 eco by its neglect to appolut agents to
collect the tax upon Louisiana sugar, from
which source not one dollar has yet reached
the Treasury. The reason given ut the De-
partmeut for this neglect to enforce the law
is that it was next to impossible to find the
proper man or to take the necessary measures
FOR its collection, But 1t has proved not to
be impossible to ship the sugar from New
Orleans to New York aud elsewhere.
