President will devote much of his forth
coming message to the questions Of fiu-
ance, and the collection Of the revenue
He has in his possession evidence to show
that upwards Of 500, OO0, 900 of revenue
from whiskey alone have been lost to the
government during the last year, by the
ineficiencies and corruption Of officers in
the collections of the revenue, and very
large amount has been lost on tobacco
from the same causes. 1t is the determin-
alton of the president to correct these abu-
ses, and prevent these frauds. To do so
the present system of collection will have
to be changed, as will also many Of the Of
icers charged with this duty.

In allusion to this gentleman's proposed
lecture at Minneapolis, the Herald Of tina,
city says that the people there are in trou.
bic to know how to answer the question
which makes the text % ) great mans
lecture care we Nation p We clip
part of the Herald's comments and call
close attention to the truthful criticism
which they contain
Our people cannot venture to be certain
about it, one way or another, and cannot
sleep comfortably o. nights until they have
heard MIR. Simmer and such is their i'm
patience to put an end to the awful sus-
pense in which they hang, that they can
hardly wait the tedious revolutions Of the
earth upon its axis necessary to bring
about the fullness of time. We are neither
classic nor scholarly, but we will endeavor
to anticipate Mr.. 5. Having looked at
the question in all its bearings we decide
that we are q nation, and no ordinary ma
ton at that. We are nation in which
more than one-half of the subjects are
denounced as traitors to the Government
by the remaining minority nation in
which the head of the Government is de-
nounced as traitor to the Government
a nation in which the Government profess
ses to derive its power from the consent OF
the governed, and yet governs one-half Of
its territory without such consent-a ma
ton which mobs its Presidents nation
which supports its freedmen's bureau
nation which gives the franchise to a
debased and ignorant race in one section
and denies them the same favor in another
"a nation which grinds one section to
powder between the upper and neither
millstones of partisan hate---a nation
which deifies John Brown and would hang
JEFF. Davis on sour apple tree-a nation
in which the widow of lamented Presi-
dent hawks the fruits of bribery and cor
ruption through the streets of New York,
and threatens to "squcal' if somebody
doesn't 'come down with the dust" Not
to put too fine point on it, and without
the least intention of being pro(ane, We
might say that we are devil Of nation,
or we will be if Mr.. Sumner and his school
of patriots are allowed to run the machine
much longer.

Fun Don't be afraid of little fun at
home, good people Don't shut up your
house lest the sun should fade your car
pets and your hearts, lest happy laugh
shake down some of the musty old cob
webs there. If you want to ruin your
sons, let them think that mirth and social
enjoyments must be left on the threshold
without, when they come home at even
ing. When once home is regarded as
only place to cat, drink and sleep in, the
work is begun that ends in gambling hous-
es and reckless degradation. Young people
must have fun and relaxation somewhere,
if they do not find it at their hearthstones,
it will be sought at other places. There
fore let the fire burn brightly at night, and
make the homestead delightful with all
those little arts that parents SO perfectly
understand. Don't repress the buoyant
spirit of your children. Half an hour Of
merriment, round the lamp and freight
of a home, blots ont the remembrance OF
many care and annoyance during the day;
and the best safeguard they can take with
them into the world is the unseen influ.

Congress must not, and will not, recede in
