Tremsndous Decrease In chs Reveuus.
Whiskey frauds have finally reached suoA
startling proportions that there is IN entlrs
failure Of the revenue from that source and
the proportion Of tde revenue that was drawn
from this article was so large that the fact Of
it, failure may very properly turn attention 70
the possible effect on public credit Thus .
matter that at first glance seems not very
alarming to the people, that ID trivially ~
ferred to as little whiskey stealing, may ysl
shake the foundation Of the whole nnanclal
system established by the illustrious Chase.
and upheld by oil his allies in and near ~
government from the President down. Not Q
day passes that we do not have to chronicle
some new exposure Of yillany, chicansry aaA
corruption In this plundering Of the govern
.ment but who Is punished, or what preventive
or other remedy is adopteds No one has YET
heard, though the cases multiply and the
amounts constantly become greater. There
never was in the history Of taxation suoh
lamentable failure to enforce wise law, nor
such tremendous and inconceivable corruption
on the part of officials. For years the "party OF
moral ideas" denounced the robberies perpe-
trated by democrats; but what chronicle Of
democratic thievery can ever equal the enor-
nifty of the swindles that 60 on under our very
respectable republican assessors and collec-
tors. 1t looks much as If all these patriotic
gentlemen saw the republican machine
tumbling about their ears, and felt no other
anxiety than to save what they might for tho
future by general grabbing. Is this what all

Tho Prussian Circular.

Count Bismarck has issued q circular in
response to that Of the Marquis Moustier. The
Marquis had said that the Salzburg Conference
was in reality pledge Of peace TO Europe.

before proceeding to blows. We may soon see

hands again at the close.
