To the Editor of the st. CrOix Avis.


Dear Sir!
There has, as you are aware, been re-
Gently before the Courts a "cause celebre,
not of any murderous character however;
butin the line of-horresco fredericksburg
Cling. "Punch," in my opinion the
greatest authority of the day, maintains
that women are all heaven born smugglers.
I quite agree with him. Smuggling is so
natural to them and, like every thing else
they do, they do it charmingly and heaven
ly, and, as a matter of course, even if it is
wrong they ought to be forgiven. But
now the men 4 morOse friend Of mine
with whom I have been talking the matter
over saws :-"hang them" | am not far
from agreeing with him too. In order,
however, to come to some definite result
let US first hear what so great an authority
as J. R. Nc Culloch says, he writes as fol-
lows with regard to the origin and preven-
ton of smuggling.
"This crime, which occupies so prominent
a place in the criminal legislation of all
modern states, as s0AoHy the result O UiciOuS
commercial and financial Legislation. 1t is
the fruit either of prohibitions of importa-
tion or of oppressively high duties. It does
not originate in any depravity inherent in
man, but in the folly and ignorance of le-
gislators. A prohibition against importing
a commodity does not take away the taste
for it, and the imposition of a high duty
on any article occasions a universal desire
to escape or evade its payment. Hence,
the rise and occupation Of the smuggler.
The risk of being detected in the clandes-
tine introduction of commodities under any
system of fiscal regulations may always be
valued at a certain average rate, and when
ever the duties exceed this rate, smuggling
Immediately takes place. Now, there are
plainly but two ways of checking this
practice,-either the temptation to snug
gle must be diminished by lowering the
duties, or the difficulties in the way of
smuggling must be increased. The first is
obviously the more natural and efficient
method Of ef%ecting the object in view, but
the second has been most generally resort
ed to, even in cases where the duties were
quite excessive. Governments have uni

formly almost consulted the persons en-
plOyed in the collection of the revenue
with respect to the best mode of rendering
taxes etfectual, though it is clear that the
interests, p%rejudices, and peculiar habits Of
such persons utterly disqualify them from
forming a sound opinion OF such a subject.
They cannot leyommend a reduction Of
duties as q means Of REFRESHING smuggling
and increasing revenue without acknow-
Lodging their own incapacity to detect and
defeat illicit practices, and the result has
been that, instead of ascribing the. preva-
lence of smuggling to its true causes, the
officers of customs and excise have almost
universally ascribed it to some defect in the
law, or in the mode of administering them,
and have proposed depressing it by new
regulations and by increasing the number
and severity of the penalties affecting the
smuggler. AS might have been expected,
these attempts have, in the great majority
of cases, proved signally unsuccessful.
And it has been invariably found, that no
vigilance on the part of the revenue of
f%icers, and no severity of punishment, can
prevent the smuggling Of such commodi-
ties as are either prohibited or loaded with
oppressive duties. The smuggler is gene
rally a popular character, and whatever
the law may declare on the subject, it is
quite ludicrous to expect that the bulk of
society will ever be brought to think that
those who furnish them with cheap bran
dy, geneva, tobacco, ETC., are guilty Of any
very heinous offence"
"To pretend" says DR.. Smith, ''to have
any scEuple about buying struggled goods,
though a manifest encouragement to the
violation of the revenue laws, and to the
peri ury which almost always attends it
would, IN most countries be regarded as
one of those pedantic pieces of hypocrisy,
which, instead Of gaining credit with any
body, seems only to expose the person
who effects to practise them to the susp-i
cion Of being a greater knaye than most of
his neighbors. By this indulgence of the
public the ~smuggler is often encouraged to
continue a trade which he is thus taught
to consider as in some measure innocent
aud when the severity of the revenue laws
is ready to fall upon him he is frequently
disposed to defend with violence what he
has been accustomed to regard as his Just
property and from being at first rather i'm
prudent than criminal he, at last too often
becomes one of the most determined viola
tors of the laws of society" OF
NATIONS, Vol. III P. 491.)
"To~ create by means of high duties an
overwhelming temptation to indulge in
crime, and then to punish men for indulg-
ing in it is a proceeding completely sub
9ersive of every principle of justice. 1t
revolts the natural feelings of the people,
and teaches them to feel IN interest in the
worst characters-for such smugglers gen
orally are-to espouse their cause, and
avenge their wrongs. A punishment
which is not proportioned to the offence,
and which does not carry the sanction of
public opinion along with it can never be
productive of any good effect. The true
way to put down smuggling is to render it

THE FREEDMEN IN TENNESSEE.

NEW YORK, September 2.-The Times
Washington special says: A communication
has been received at the Freedmen's Bureau
from General Clinton b. Fisk, Assistant
Commissioner for Kentucky, Tennessee and
North Carolina, dated August 26th, from
Chattanooga, In reference to Freedmen s
affairs In Tennessee. He states that it has
been his continual effort to break up all
contTaband camps in his District, encourage
the freedmen to seek labor in the country,
and not congregate in cities and towns, and
he has been measureably successful. He
has broken up every contraband camp IN
East tennessee, and at this date not one
hundred coiored people, and eastward from
Chattanooga are drawing rations from the
Government. La this region he finds fifty
whites to one colored person subsisting OH
the Government. The camps at Huntsville
and Tunnel Hill will be Immediately broken
up. Those at Gallatin and Henderson are
colored. The colored people who came into
East Tennessee from North Carolina, are
returning to their old homes. The Legisla-
true OF tennessee at the approaching re un-
ION, 1t Is expected. will conoede the right OF
colored people to prosecute Ia the civil
courts, and give testimony in all the courts.
The desire on the part of the colored people
to be educated is indeed marvellous. They
literally hunger and thirst after knowledge,
and In many places are themselves contribu-
ting hberally for the support of schools.
The immense wagon trains, numbering
five hundred wagons, with an ambulance
train, which was recently organized for an
over land trip to Leavenworth, Kansas, have
started on their journey. They are expec-
ted to reach their destination In the middle
of November
