The Reception Of Mr.. BurIingame mt San
Francisco.

Francisco.
The people of California evidently appre-
ciate the Importance and value of Mr.. Bur-
lingame's mission; for we learn by the news
telegraphed from San Francisco and published
in yesterdays HERALD that grand dinner
had been given to the Minister by the most
prominent citizens Of the State. We are all
interested in this novel aud extraordinary mis-
sion-yes, the whole civilized world is inte-
rested in it-but the people of San Francisco
and California are especially so. The Golden
Gate Of California is destined to be the
entrance and entrepot of a vast commerce
with China and Asia generally, and this mis-
sion Of Mr.. Burlingamc will be no doubt the
starting point of such great future While,
therefore, our fellow citizens on the Pacific
were honoring Mr.. Burlingame from personal
regard, the position he occupies gave great
6ciat to the occasion. But the merchants and
citizens of New York, the great commercial
metropolis of the country, are also greatly
interested in this mission, and ought to ac-
knowledge its importance by some suitable
demonstration. We have no, faith in the mu-
tual admiration entertainments and speeches
generally INDUCED in by notoriay seekers !;
but this would be another thing altogether. A
grand entertainment to Mr.. Burlingame, given
by our merchants and prominent public men in
New York, would be only proper acknow-
ledgment of the great honor conferred upon
one Of our citizens by the Emperor of China,
and would have good effect both in China
and in Europe. We throw out this sug-
gestion to Mr.. A. T. Stewart and other promi-
nent merchants, to Mr.. westray and others in
the CHM md India t0de. p h Qhsnb& Of

Tho Whiskey Tax-Inability Of the Covers
nent 70 Collect II.
The Revenue Commissioner (Wells) makes
surprising statement with regard to the
whiskey tax. The Secretary of the Treasury
estimated the yearly income from this tax at
fifty millions Of dollars but it appears from the
receipts up to the present time, and making a
fair pro rata of what will come in, that the in
come will be only twelve millions, or about 4
million month. Thus there will be def
cheney at the end of the fiscal year of thirty
eight millions from this article alone Fifty
millions was very low estimate if the whole
of the tax or nearly all were collected for
there is consumption Of fifty millions of gal
Ions year at least, and this at two dollars q
hundred millions of dollars. Yet the govern
ment will only receive twelve millions This
is frightful state of things. It shows that the
government has become so inefficient and cor
rupt that we are fast tending to utter lawless-
ness and anarchy. 1t is all very well for some
to say the tax is too high, and that if it were
lower there would be less fraud and more
revenue; but this is doubtful. The official
rascals and the rascally distillers would
defraud the government just the same.
In Great Britain and other countries a
heavy tax is imposed on spirits, and yet it is
collected. Why can it not be 80 here? The
confession of inability to collect the whiskey
tax is terrible reproach to our government
and is fearfully demorallzing to the people.
To talk Of paying the national debt, OF even
the interest on it, besides providing for the
current expenses of our extravagant govern
ment, under such state of things is prepos-
ferrous. With the taxes taken off manufactures
for the special benefit of New England, and
off other articles to the amount, in all, of
hundred millions or more, and with the extraor-
binary falling off in the estimated revenue
from whiskey, how can the government meet
the demands upon it? With every prospect Of
increased expenditures to maintain military
rule over the South and to support the negroes,
as well as to meet the reckless appropriations
of Congress, there must be an empty Treasury
and deficiency at the end of the year. In
fation of the currency will become financial
necessity of the government as well as poll
tical necessity of the radical party in power.
We advise all prudent people to look out for
the breakers ahead for we are fast drifting to
times of excitement, to be followed by fearful
smash

LATEST DODGE OF THE IMPEAoHERs.-The
latest dodge of the impeachers is the amend
ment to the rules submitted by Senator Sum-
ner, providing that any question which may
arise in the final deliberation relative to the
judgment shall be determined by majority in
stead of two-thirds of the members present.
But Mr.. Davis objected and the amendment
went over, thus rendering Intellectual this fresh
attempt to choke of and gag Chief Justice
Chase, the possible influence of whose charge,
according to the law and evidence" is mani
testify dreaded by the impeachers.

and Indiana and Pennsylvania for beginning,
and that New York will probably turn the scale
in his favor. But the Western copperheads
will not touch Hancock. They will not play
second fiddle to Grant. So, then, the only
chance for a democratic compromise upon
epauettes is the first fiddle of the Navy, brave
old Admiral Farragut.

The Cotton Planters and Manufacturers
Association.

The meeting at the st. Nicholas Hotel the
other evening Of Northern cotton manufac-
turers and Southern planters and manufactu-
rcrs for the promotion of their mutual in
terests, was the Inauguration OF Q very impor-
tant movement, as It resulted in establishing
National Association of Cotton Planters and
Manufacturers" Rightly managed this organi-
cation may become eminently useful to the
country in developing the cotton culture and
manufacture to the fullest extent in this coun-
try, and especially down South. The time has
come when we may undertake not only the ex-
tension of the cotton culture to an average Of
i've million bales year, but the working up of
the whole production in our own mills, from the
coarsest fabrics to the finest Of which cotton Is
the raw material. And as the cotton growing
States have all the advantages Of cheap and
abundant subsistence and fuel, and any amount
of water in or near to every cotton district from
North Carolina to Texas, with no freezing up
in the winter, we cannot understand why there
should be even to-day only one Southern cotton
factory where there ought to be twenty. The
time is approaching when, instead of shipping
of the raw material from the cotton States to
Old England or even New England to be
worked up into goods for Southern consump-
ton, the South will be not only the great cot
ton growing but the great cotton manufacturing
centre of the world. They have greater ad-
vantages and facilities around our Southern
cotton plantations for cotton mills at a cheaper
running expense than are possessed in any
other section of either hemisphere. They only
want little ready capital TO start upon, and
strong tidal waye0f immigration GQH EpSppe

THE STREET CLEANING CONTRACT IN THE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Crowley has intro
duced bill into the Legislature in the last
agonizing throes of its existence which, as
humanitarian measure, should be acted
upon before the session closes. 1t provides
that the streets of New York shall be cleaned
according to contract; that the citizens of the
metropolis, having been taxed heavily for the
purpose of paying contractors, whose duty It
is to keep the city clean and protect them from
epidemics, shall be secured in their rights and
not left to the mercy or cupidity of the con-
tractor. This bill should be pushed through
before the Legislature dissolves. 1t is of moro
importance to this city that the streets should
be cleaned than that thousand and one rail-
road jobs should be carried to completion.

Commerce, the East India Telegraph Company,
and to all others interested in the development
of our trade and intercourse with China. Let
us have something worthy of New York and
the occasion. From the brief telegraphic re-
port of Mr.. Burlingame's speech at San Fran
cisco we may expect something more from him
highly interesting and useful. The mission he
was on, he said, ''meant progress, the adop-
ton Of international law, peace, commerce,
and the uniication of the human race" Let
us do what we can to help this grand object.

A committee of the Legislature is provoked
to utter these words by considering the Tax
Levy
The clamOrous who make an Outcry against the
increasing taxatioDn the Empire State and the EN-
pire City generally belong to class who seem to
forget that the city s no longer mere town, OF vii
lage necessities, but has become immense metro
polls, whose main highway, which is lighted with gas,
Is twelve miles long, and whose improving streets,
and avenues continually require extensive repairs,
cleaning and sewering; whose water front Is thirty
miles long, contributing to the commerce OF the
world, and whose executive and judicial officers
transact business the cares and results of which
affect millions OF property and persOns-a metropolis
which, In the words OF his Excel ency the Governor,
IN a recent message. Is one "wheren business ex-
enterprise are the daily experience"
The committee forgot to add some items to
this development of the greatness of the city.
All the aldermen are left out, and the whole
company of ring makers, and this is the
most expensive part of our development.
Moreover, in mentioning the length of our
principal street and the extent of our water
front reasons for the size of the Tax Levy, the
committee forgot to mention that the condition
in which both street and water front are kept
proves that but little of the money is spent ON
them.

Tue Police AND THE CONCERT SALOONS
The blue coats and brass buttons which used
to warn victims from the doors Of the Peter
Funk establishments are now posted, 1t ap-
pears, at the entrances of the concert saloons
on Broadway and the Bowery, not to prevent
people from being inveigled by their syren
entertainments, but to pounce upon the proprie-
tors at sundry intervals during the night, when,
as alleged, these unlicensed individuals put q
drop of ardent spirits into the soda water and
lemonade of their customers contrary to law.
There is probably no doubt that the concert
saloon keepers sell liquor occasionally without
license when the Argus eyes of the police are
not upon them, and perhaps sometimes when
they are. Their business not being of very
high moral order il Is too much to expect that
their morals should be very nice. But IL may
be worth considering whether the police could
not be better employed-say, for example,
looking after burglars and highwaymen-
than in playing cat to the pretty little mice of
the concert saloons. One would suppose that
the protection of life and property comes more
within the province Of the police than detecting
the pcccadilloes of the violaters of the License
law.
