of revenue which our own experience and the ex-
perence Of other countries have indicated MS ike

Great difficulty has been experienced in con-
Quoting Investigations, owing to the abnormal
disturbed condition Of every branch oftrade and
industry since 1861 and owing to the frequent al
terations of tariff, and the Inauguration of the
internal revenue system many branches Of trade
and industry have been curtailed during this
period from 80 to Is per cent. .

Oltirage by .Scldiers.--S soldiers, who,
we learned, had been discharged from the
service, and were about TO leave for their
homes went 10 n coffee stand in the lower
end Of the Market House yesterday morning
and called for coffee and other eatables The
proprietor, Mr.. Henry Olgers, politely sery-
ed them, and ms they got through one after
another retired frem the stand without re-
ferring to the matter of settlement. Mr..
Olgers ventured to inquire Of the last one,
who protracted his repast beyond the rest, il
he was TO hquidate the centre swindle."
He replied, :" Certainly" Upon finishing,
the last of the "festive cusses abruptly re-
ouested him to charge the whole bill

An E5cellet Move.--There is a general
murTnur from all parts Of the country that,
Pin addition 10 The other damages inflicted
upon the country BY the late war, it has
given an impetus 10 vice and immortality
that is eorr1pting TO the present and dan
gerous to future generations. The means 10
this result have assumed divers forms, and
our exchanges from all quarters TEEN with
the record Of crimes directly or indirectly
traceable 10 the influence OF the wax. Our
own city has not escaped these influences.
Three days ago our people were afforded an
opportunity 10 witness the ignominious
death Of four men whose lives might have
been useful and prolonged, if their talents
and training had been different. A vicious
seed sown, though no larger than pepper
corn. may ripen INTO the most enormous
crimes, entaiiing life Of misery or death
Of disgrace.
Among other demoralising influences
brought TO this city by the events of war, is
a class Of institutions in which public enter
tainments are made 10 contribute openly TO
the most despicable Of vices. Two Of these
are so well known that they need not be re-
ferred TO more particularly. IL is, therefore,
a subject Of congratulation that a movement
has been made in the City Council looking
to thorough investigation of the subject,
and their suppression. A committee was
appointed at the last meeting charged with
this duty. We trust they will omit no part
OF their duty, but inaugurate measures at
once for their extirpation. BY the next
meeting Of the Council, let them be able to
make full report Of the facts desired, and
let the Council, If necessary, enact such laws
as will put stop to the character Of enter
tainments indicated.
