About tho Whisky Tax.

The New York World has the follow
ing regarding the Investigation OF the Re
treuchment Committee IN New York:
One remarkable fact was developed yes.
terday, After the law was passed by Con
gress fixing tho price Of whisky at not less
than two dollars, IL went down to one
dollar and hileon cents per gallon, A
few days ago the Revenue Board required
tina, no whisky should be sold unless ac-
companied by Tux receipt showing that
the tax had been paid. The price of wills.
ky Immediately fell, aud tax receipts are
now sold in market US currently as whis-
ky. The Committee is of opinion that
the lax should be reduced to 6fty cents
per gallon and collected at the still, thus
abolishing the bonded warehouse system.

LETTER FROM HARRISON.


Dear american, III have la my humble
way earnestly endeayored to urge upon
our people here those things only that
would accrue to their benefit, l have nd.
visod, In the absence Of paper Of our
own, that our friends subscribe for the
AmUicaa, md do hope that many more
will do SO.
There is cue matter Of great import
ance. in my estimation, TO the growth aud
prosperity Of Harrison, to which now
desire to call attentiou--a subject fire.
quently mooted, but not receiving the
consideration it merits. | refer to the pro-
posed Hydraulic power. With It's con-
struction Harrison would have great facil-
tiles for becoming an important manufac.
turing town. Situated equi distant from
Cincinnati and Brookyille, with good
turnpike roads leading TO either place, and
only eighteen or twenty miles distant. with
good roads radiating to the surrounding
neighborhoods and towns, only len miles
from the Ohio river at North Bend, the
geographical centre OF onesef the richest
and best cultivated agricultural regions Of
the West, and a good. we'll conducted rail,
road, gives Harrison facilities rarely
equaled for receiving grain aud material
for manufacture, and means Of transmission
to a ready market. Add to this, the very
beautiful aud exceeding healthy location
of our town; the fact that we have facili-
ties for frst.class schools; and but few
towns can boast Of as muny and as fac
churches, finished and in process of con.
struction, in proportion 10 the number Of
inhu bitants; and We certainly, with the
Hydraulic, could offer inducements for
building up large manufacturing interests
equaled by few places in the West.
But the main question remains to be
discussed Is the work practicable? Can
the power be furnished at an expense that
would paye This, il will be readily ad-
mitted, Is an important consideration.
But the power afforded by our defunct
Canal when in operation, has fully dem
onstrated this proposition in tho atilFna.
tive. And besides, il is not. necessary TO
measure the power work of this nature
can be made to afford by moderate out
lay, with that given by the old Canal, as
by dispensing with the locks and con-
