3" War Debt of the States. "

THERE is a project in hand at Wash
ington to pay the War Debts of the
States, which are computed at 500 mil
lions in round numbers, and in this list,
the State of Ohio figures at about 63
millions or one-eighth of the whole. The
committee startle at the sum and propose
to pay the States az average sum for the
men furnished say 55 dollars for each
man furnished to the army. The only
real war debt that Ohio can claim is the
increased expense the State was put to,
by the Governors undertaking to play
Deputy to the United States in the rails
ing volunteers these troops were not
State Militia and therefore the States
mad nothing to do with them they were
United States, and the action of the Gov
ernOrs was illegal. The pretended debt
of 500 millions to the States, was the
price of skulking-frst charged on
property to save the people liableto serve
from doing their proper duty. Now it is
proposed to shift it to the United States,
and saddle the charge on all the South
and all the future new States. It is pro-
posed to pay the States with bonds at 8
per cent. This will do very well for Mr..
Yankee who paid higherprice for skull
king than the west did. Then who is to
get these bonds ?-the States ? or the
counties or the townships? The claim
is an unconscienable one, and should be
rejected. Let the States lose what they
paid-and they will be wiser next time
neat time.

The Way it Works.

THE distillation of whisky from corn
became a great business in the West
because, no where else could it be made
so oheaply. And in no other way, could
the value of the corn crop be conveyed
to distant markets at so small a charge
for freight. The consumption of corn in
this way gave steadiness to the market
price of corn and constant demand for
the product, and that demand gave in
creased value to our land. So great had
this business become, that the quantity
of whisky received at Cincinnati, averaged
1900 barrels day for every day in the
year. Two-ffths of this quantity was
converted into alcohol all of which was
used in the arts, in manufactures and in
giving light and heat. The enormous
and destructive tax on whisky tax of
1000 per cent. on the natural average
value, has destroyed the demand for al
eohol which now sells at 5 dollars a
gallon of which price more than four dol
lars is government tax. The destruction
of the trade in alcohol, destroys to that
extent the demand for corn. One Of the
great objects in distillation was to feed
hogs with the slops and the growth of
the hogs thus fed, constituted the dis
tiller's profit, the whisky product only
serving to pay the expenses. The de-
struction Of the distilleries has lessened
the quantity of pork, and greatly raised
the price to the great injury of every
household in the land. Why is all this
done? It is done on the pretence of ne
cessity to raise money to pay for a large
standing army to keep eleven States out
of the Union, and to keep the South des-
Olated. It is done on the further de-
mand for money to pay interest on a gi-
gantic public debt, and keep that debt
free from tax. 1t is done on the bold
pretence of preserving public faith, when
the Constitution is every day violated
law every day disregarded and private
claims denied just payment because
the public debt must not be made
bigger. This is the way it works-and
the people Of the West are beginning to
know that it works to their injury and
their injury alone. And knowing how
it works and wherefore it works, they
will cause the wrong to have its rightful
remedy-and that remedy will be equqE-
ty Of toration and they will moreover de-
mand that true men be chosen to give
the remedy.

Government Frauds--A Sample.

THE Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. by circular dated Sd January,
1866, has instruction the officers of Inter
nal Revenue to prosecute all persons who
shall buy or sell an empty oask which
has inspected marks thereon, without
obliterating the marks which he says
subjects them to a penalty of 800 dollars.
His language is this:
"The object of the law is to break up
the traffic. The penalty is severe and
Intentionally so. Both parties to the
contract are liable. IF the vender per
mits the empty cask to pass out of his
hands without removing the inspection
marks, he is liable to the penalty. If
the purchaser receives the casks with
the inspection marks thereon, he is also
subject to the penalty"
And then he adds thi, remarkable
opinion:
eff there is a purchase or sale of an
empty spirit cask, with the inspection
mark thereon, the intent IS inanaaterial-or
rather the proof of the Offense is conclu-
sive as to the intent. "
Now, we have fallen on strange times
if actual criminal intent is no longer an
element and a necessary one, in the fact
of crime. If the Congress had said that
the possession of such an empty cask
should be prima facie evidence of crimi-
nal intent, the Commissioner might have
some excuse for his Instruction, though
it would be very strange legislation
But unless Congress shall say so, it is
not for the Commissioner to set up such
a rule. The Commissioner entirely mis-
takes the law or perverts it, when he says
that the object of it, is to prohibit the
traffic in empty casks. The law plainly
means to prohibit an improper use of
such cask, and here is the language =
" And any person who shall purchase or
sell any empty cask with the inspection
marks thereon, or who shall fraudulently
use any cask or package so marked, for
the purpose Of selling any other spirits
than that SO inspected shall be subject to
like penalty, &c"
The object of the law, plainly, is to
prevent fraudulent use of the casks, and
to constitute guilt the persons buying
and selling must have had that fraudu-
lent intent.
The people must have some remedy
against these misconstructions. And it
must be provided by law thatin addition
to the civil action against the officer
which an injured person has of right, but
but which Congress have endeavored to
take from him, by an illegal transfer of
suits from State Courts to United States
injured party must have
compensation from the Treasury, for the
expenses of his defense and loss of time
