uHISKY IND REYENUE.

Mr. Deyn with his finger 70 his nose, in scorniul
contempt of whisky distller who would not put
up the job fine enough" is in dramatic attitude e1-
pressiye of much sharp practice from which taxpayers
have suffered The reports which we print of the in
yesgaiion Of the whisky frauds, have also the effect
ofmakng the reader place his fingers to his nose for
a very different reason. The ohense Is rank; an
odor of official corruption peryades the court room;
IL is nauseating and shy. Nor can the public fail to
infer that whisky which is made of spirits OF turpen-
tine, stamped without inspection, and sold without
the payment of the United States tax, must be rather
bad to drink. Considering the enormous quantity oil
whisky sold and consumed, even the temperance re-
former will be anxious that his neghbors should at
least get drunk on the best extract of rye and not
add unknown poison to the evils of intoIication
The method of the whisky frauds is by this time
well known 10 the public; but We donot believe that
any one knows It's extent. 1t is not 10 be measured
by gallons or barrels but rather by lakes and rivers
of turpentine and bribery. vast ocean OF untsxed
and unnspected whisky deugeS the land; t is not
strange that the dstllers grow rich and drink Carte
dOr. and Veuye Clcquot; that inspectors and asses
sors can afford French brandy that the Government
does not pay oil the blessing Of the National debt
Had the taxes on all the whisky made
this year been honestly paid there would
have been very percepdble difference in
Mr.. McCulloch's statement of the condition OF the
United States Treasury The further the subject Is
searched, the more colossal the frauds appear. We
find Mr.. Deylin paying 100000 to $4,000 every
month for protection" and yet finding it cheaper to
pay this enormous bride than the United States tax Of
two dollars a gallon. An astonishing example oil In
tegrity Is shown by Mr.. McArdle, who, making ten
barrels of whisky daily, paid the tax on hye.
We wish all the others had treated The Gov
ernmont as literally. Mr.. Devlin seems TO have
made his profit out Of both inspectors and disuheEs
introducing the whisky maker who did not want his
whisky inspected TO the inspector who did not want
10 inspect it, Revenue officers 60 to distiilenes as
sharp as detectives but it is only to have their eyes
bandaged with greenbaeks, their lips sealed and their
ears stopped Ii it costs large distler S2'Ooo TO
the tax on 1000 gallons he is very ready to pay
United States officer splendid income TO neglect
his duty. The profit is enormous for these gentle
men, but great the loss TO the people and the
Government.

pOLlTIcAL PARTIES IN HUNGARY

or the nineteen Diets which at present i'll session
in Austria, only that OF Hungary commands general
attention. Their gallant fight for independence in
lSis and their equally gallant struggle for the main
tonance of their constitutional rights ever since, nave
endeared the Mngyas to the friends OF liberal nstitu-
tons all over the world. Ii is moreover, generally
understood that the attitude of Hungary with regard
to the Austrian Empire must have very great, and
may have a decisive, influence upon the fate OF the
latter.
There are in the Diet three distinct political par
ties The Conservatives, who have adherents only
among the high srs,ocracy. the Clergy, and those
who are entirely dependent upon either, are scarcely
represented in the Lower House The immense ma
iory OF this House are either moderate Liberals or
Radicals The former about 100, follow the leader
ship of Mr. Deak the latter who count g votes that
of Mr. Jhiczy. Last year these two parties had
agreed upon joint opposition to the Government
This year there is schsm between them, as regards
the rescript Of the Austrian Emperor. Deakand his
party look upon the reScript, which promises the APP
pointment of Hungarian ministry as soon as
the basis of the common affairs of the Empire shall
have been settled by the Diet presenting important
elements for negotiation The Radicals, on the other
hand persist in demanding, before any pledge is given
that the old Hungarian Constitution be fully restored
The Atlantic telegraph has already informed us that
the proposition of Ar. Deak has been accepted: but
the agitation in the country not only continued but
increased and the prospects of sincere reconciliation
between the Austrian Government and the Magyar
nation are anything but bright. The session OF the
Diet ia likely to be again very turbulent and to add
fuel to the vast OF combustible material which
is rapidly aecumulating in Eastern Europe.

Barnes, Congressman elect. The Grand Jury have,
in accordance herewith, found bill of indictment

Senator Morgan has anticipated the wish OF the
whole country in offering resolution OF thanks to
Mr. Cyrus W. Field for his services in laying the
Atlantic Telegraph. While the English are trying to
assume everything for themselves, it is but just that
Americans yindicate the title of their own country
man to the honor OF this great achievement. As John
Bright says Of Mr.. Field 1T is right to honor the
man TO whom The whole world is debtor" Lord Derby,
in his letter announcing the knighhOod and baronet-
ces conferred by the Queen expressly says that Mr.
Fields name is not included, simply because he Is an
American citizen, and it would be interfering with
the province Of the American Government. We hope
the resolution will pass unanimously, and that the
thanks will DO presented by Congress, in the words Of
Senator Morgan, in the name OF the people OF the

SpLENDIDLY SAID.-Thomas Fitch
concluded his speech at Gold Hill with
the following brilliant passage:
"Hail to the advancing cause of the
people The bugle note of victory is
sounding from among the feathery pines
of Maine, and the verdured hills of
Vermont. 1t will swell in sweet ca
dences of consolation to the oppressed
across the Empire State and along the
borders of the mighty lakes 1t will
minele with the murmur of the Missis-
sippi; it will scale the summit of the
Rocky Mountains and sound along the
great desert; and when the sun of the
9th of November shall have set behind
these sterile hills, it will proclaim that
the last born of Freedom is true to her
instincts and her history"
