mittee meet i'm Washington to-day,
"wednesday for the purpose of fixing
the time, and selecting the place, for
holding the National Convention, to
nominate candidates for President and

E Itis estimated that, durin


the past year, the revenue of the
Government has been defrauded, in
the item of whiskey alone, of over
fifty millions of dollars. Large
quantities of this article have found
its way to market, without paying tax,
and the government is thereby the
loser to the above extent. This
should not be, and would not be, ii
we had honest and faithful officers
But since the democracy got control
of the appointing power, through the
treachery of Andy johnson, a class
of men have crept into the revenue
service who are wholly deficient in
the above qualities. and who have
bartered away the interests of the
government, and the hard earnings
of the people. in the enriching OF
themselves and the whiskey dealers.
These officers have made this whis-
key tax more the means of filling
their own Golfers than those Of the
Government. Such it will continue
to be, we fear, until we have a
change of administration, and men
are appointed to office with qualif-
cations Of honesty and fidelity.
1t is better that the tax On whiskey
should be repealed, than that things
should continue as they have for the
past year If the law is to be con-
tinued as is, let US have honest Off
GERS, and then let US have every vio-
lation of it punished according to
the terms of that law. Then the
revenue from this source would
amount to something, and to that ex-
tent tighten the burdens of the peo-
pie. AS it is, it is a mere farce.

~ Gen. GEO. H. THOMAS, in his
report of operations in his Depart.
ment for the past year, made to Gen
GRANT, says: ''The feelings of : the
people are still hostile to the GOV
ernment." Is it wise to trust such
people with the control of the Gov

of the democratic party to do that
very thing-to commit the Govern
ment to the hands of those who, in
the language of Gen. Thomas, isare
hostile to it. .

w The editor of the Dispatch is
as regardless of facts and figures as
he is Of decency. He says the peo-
pie of the United States are taxed
$40, 100000 to support the Freed
mems Bureau. Gen. Grant, in his
report as Secretary of War, states
the total expenditures of the Bureau

very material difference. But the

E The Cincinnati Gazette refers
as follows to the imposing GRANT
demonstration in New York city:
The feature of the Grant meeting
in New York was the speech of Gen
eral Siek1es. fhe resolutions ore
such as an earnest man would be
strongly disposed to spit upon, but
the speech referred to, which was
warmly applauded, has the ring of
the true metal, and elected such ex-
pressions from the large audience as
leave no doubt that the meeting was
thoroughly Republican in feeling
The sentiments. of General Grant, as
represented by General Sickles, are
fully up to the platform of the Union
people, and are broad enough and
radical enough for every Union man
to stand upon.

H The Democratic State Central
Committee met at Columbus, on the
4th, and decided to hold their State
Convention on the 9th of January, for
the nomination of State officers, Presi-
dental electors, and the selection of
delegates to the National Convention
for the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice President. Val
landigham attended the meeting, and
seemed to control the committee at
every point. 1t is generally conceded
that his chances for the Senatorship are
daily improving, and it is supposed
that the early time fixed for the meeting
of the convention is movement in his
favor. His friends intend to have
large delegations at the convention, and
as the election of Senator, by law of
Congress, must take place the succeed
ing week, they hope to bring such in
fluences to work in the matter, as to
compel the Legislature to elect him
Vallandigham will attempt, through a
secret political organization, of which
he is the head, to rally sufficient
number of his friends to control the
action of the convention, and thus in
struct the Legislature in his favor
The fight between him and Thurman
promises to be lively one. 1t may
result in good-"when rouges fall out

Remed, for the Hop Lousc.

The following remedy for the hop
louise is given by correspondent Of the
American Farmer: II would lay before
you a remedy for the hop louise that l
have jus. received from England, con-
sisting of a simple decoctiOn of tobacco,
strong enough to kill ticks on sheep, or
the blue louise on colts or calves. 1t is
equally effective against vermin on hop
vines, or the worms which feed on cur
rant bushes" One gentleman writes:
ave use strong soap suds made with
soft soap and tobacco water, with one
pound of copperas to every five gallons
of the liquor" This is applied to the
vine when trained on the horizontal
plan, by a syringe, OF if on the old plan
of long poles, with force pump or gar.
der engine pump, TO throw the liquid
with force against the under side of the
leaves, as the louise is there first. |
have full confidence in the remedy, and
would recommend every hop grower to
be prepared for the vermin if they make
their appearance.

Both we're always "Union men" of the
straight-out sort, and until now their
loyalty" has not been questioned. AS
they oppose the "Major" in his political
aspirations, however, it is not difficult
to understand the reason of his official
sew, rity toward them. We are assured
that large numbers of other men
of the same stamp rs these are
being disfranchised for the same
reasons. The case then stands as fol-
lows: A member of the Board of Regis
tration of Barbour is candidate for
office. He DISTINGUISHES the supporters
of his opponent. The Governor, be-
lieving them to be mis- own opponents
too, ce-operates most heartily, and the
aid of the military is invoked to render
the success of the plot doubly sure.
The citation of the cases Of Wayne and
Logan counties, is rather an unfortun-
ate one for the Intelligencer. If they
had been so lawless as to need the pres.
ence of the military they would very
likely have given the soldiers some
thing to do. We have yet to learn of
the first instance in which their services
were required. We are reminded just
here, that those soldiers were sent into
Wayne at the request of one Reverend"
CARROLL, n man who, as the Mteiligen-
Ger probably knows, has recently proved
his loyalty by the commission of
a uameless crime. The troops for the
Greenbrier region, were sent there
through the representations of one
Doctor CALDWELL, who finally became
so obnoxious to all classes, as an un-
mitilated old villain, that the leading
Radicals of Greenbricr unanimously re-
guested FOREMAN TO remove him. 1t is
wi tn such men that the Governor is co.
operating. They are his confederates
in these schemes of military outrage.
When they want aid he lies for them in
Washington, and when he needs defence
they lie for him through the columns of
a prostituted press. Mutually sustain
ing they are enabled to defy all oppo-
sition. The mendacity of each defends
the villainy of the other, and so perfect
is their combination for reciprocal pro.
lection, that the prosecution of Satan
before one of the Internal Courts would
not be more futile than the trial of
FOREMAN with his Registrars for wit
nesses, or the arraignment of his Reg
istrars with FOREMAN for the defence.

Grass for Horses.

Many think that horses that are kept
in the stable all summer should not be
allowed to eat grass. They think it will
make the horse soft, wishy-washy and
il will throw him out of condition
for hard work. This is particularly the
case with some of the trainers Of tro:-
ting and running horses. And horses
that are kept for farm and other work
are refused grass because their drivers
think they will not eat hay 80 we'll.
This was formerly the case, more than
it is now. But these are all erroneous
opinions and practices, and are giving
away, gradually, to y more reasonable
and natural system of feeding. Grass
is the natural food of the horse. 1t is
cooling and healthful food. II keeps
the bowels open and sharpens the appe-
tite. 1t promotes digestion and re-
moves fever from the system. There
fore, by all means, let the horses nip
grass fifteen or twenty minutes daily.
Whether training for trotting or run
ming, it will be attended with the high
est benefit. The horses will lose none
of their speed by such course of treat
ment. Horses that are kept up the year
round for farm work should certainly
be allowed nice nibble at grass every
day. They work hard, and all they get
for it is something to eat. Let them
have, then, what they all like SO well.

Relation af the sexes.

Henry Ward Beecher says: 1t may
be laid down as general rule that
amuseInents which separate the sexes
are dangerous. would not press the
truth too narrowly and literally; but
undoubtedly it is general truth that
where woman seek their amusements
in one way by themselves, and men
seek theirs in another way by them
selves, there is both ways a tendency
to degeneration and temptation. God
meant that man and wOwan should
live together, work together, and i'll all
the functions of life-civil, social, re-
ligious. artistic, and iutellectual-cO-
operate with each other; and their nu-
tual relations are harmOnizing and bal
ancing. and nowhere else more than in
the seeking and prosecution OF amuse-
ment. believe that boys and girls
should 90 to school together. AS they
sit together in the household, so | think
they should sit together in our temples
of learning. Colleges should not be for
all men or for all women, but the same
buildings aud the same professors
should be provided for both III common.
And as it is in everything else, so it
should be in amusements. There is
much greater liability to temptation
and immortality where amusem mt is
sought in the isolation or separation OF
the sexes.
Therefore all exhibitions of pictures
and statues, all provisions for public re-
creation, all institutions for pnblic
amusement, should be such as to enable
the people to go in gronps and families.
do not think amusements can be
good generally in community i'll which
a man is ashamed TO take his whole fam
ily to them. If there is anything you
would not like your wife and children
to participate in with you, the presump-
ton is that it is wrong; and if there is
anything You would like them to par
ticipate in with you, the presumption is
that it is right. And this might be
made a rule of judgment far more
widely than il now is.
