BHIn response to inquiries by
a correspondent of the Observer,
with reference to the direct tax as
sessed in Tennessee, the Union
and American Of the 18th says
The Direct Tax Commissioner
in this city informs us that more
than $500, 900 has been reported
as paid by the people.
We have no reason to suppose
that our State, as a State, will as
sumo this tax. If it should, it
would be justified in assuming
only the unpaid balance; and in
its final payment it should be paid
by the several counties in just and
fair proportions.

Whisk6y Fortunes.

! Illicit whiskey-distilling is said
to be the money-making business
lnow in some Northern localities
Philadelphia is said to have from
six to eight hundred private stills
in operation at this time, and 9TH
er places have their full share, as
witness the following from the
Nashville Union and American of
the 9th:
The New York World says its
reporter has ascertained that in
that city there are one hundred and
fifty whiskey stills kept in constant
operation, which supply on an av-
erage, $500 barrels daily, and du-
ty is iiot paid on more than 500
barrels, if upon SO much. So the
Government is swindled out of
|Sl4, 900 daily, or nearly S., 100000
annually.
AS q small still that will run a
hundred gallons a week will pay
its proprietor ten thousand dollars
a year in the evasion of the duty
alone, cupidity naturally prompts
a world of ingenious people to Sc.
cretly pursue the business. But,
in addition to these there are me-
tropolitan distillers who can pro-
duce many a barrel per day, bribe
the inspectors, pay the duty ON
one-half and smuggle the other
into trade and consumption. Plen.
ty of whiskey can be quietly pur-
chased in the Eastern cities for
sl.75 per gallon, though the duty
alone is two dollars a gallon, and
this may furnish us with some
idea of the quantity illicitly man.
ufactured and disposed Of This I
species of fraud seems to be rather
encouraged than diminished by the
officers of the government. They I
compromise seizures and arrests, it !
S said, by a fine! Now, when the
,isk is so little and the profit so
vast, it would be marvellous in
Iced if the enterprise were not !,
by thousands, from
he poor man with his kettle in
he cellar, to the rich one with his
huge stills and other costly appa-
'atus in his capacious distillery.-
To stop such proceedings, if posi-
Die, Congress passed a new law,
which goes into effect September
st, compelling each distiller to
Jay five dollars day to a govern
nent inspector to watch his pro-
,eedings; but inspectors have both
hearts and pockets, and many of
hem will be selected, of course,
rom gentlemen tolerably familiar
With the multiplication table.

Get Your Certificate.

Voters of Lincoln county, you
are appealed to by your friends
whose hands are tied by the obi
Gus and unjust Franchise Law, to
secure certificates, exercise the
right Of suffrage, and assist in
hurting from place and power the
most degenerate and unprincipled
set of political cormorants that
ever infested the halls of legisla-
ton and toasted upon the sub
stance of the helpless. tits du-
ty you owe to your friends, to your
selves, to your God and your State,
to assist in the great work of rem
ovating and purifying our political
system of government. Men who
were born, reared, and educated
in your county, men whom you
have honored with positions of
trust, men who have never betray-
ed your confidence or forfeited
your esteem, are to-day disfran-
chised and denied a voice in our
elections by set of interlopers and
political hucksters, who have been
foisted upon the people at the
point of the bayonet, and who are
now striving to perpetuate their
power by degrading the white man
below the level of the negro.
Get your certificates, and vote
legally; vote for Conservative I'm
ion men-men who will respect
themselves and honor their con-
stituency by regarding their ex-
pressed wishes; and help US, for
Gods sake help us, to eject from
power men who "don't know whom
they represent" and "don't care
what their constituents want"

n% Some of the Northern
journals are of opinion that much
of the cholera in the prisons and
other public institutions, arises
from the use of bread made out
of unsound Chicago -four, "doc-
tored" and sold to the authorities.
They get it a little cheaper than
they can purchase sound flour, but
the drugs it contains superinduce
bowel complaints. There may
be something in this, since sixteen
persons were poisoned at a hotel
in Wenona, Illinois, two weeks
since, by eating bread made of
prepared flour" from Chicago.
