THE Cincinnati Chronicle wants
Congress to find out why the receipts
from the whisky tax, estimated by
Mr.. Wells, the Special Commission
er, as good for $50, 100000 per annum,
are only about 100000 monthly
shortening Of s38O0O000 from
the annual estimate? Having found
out something about this business,
will members have the energy and
the courage to apply an effectual
remedy? L remembers to have heard
an honest Senator say, not long ago,
that a Government which could not
collect a tax Of two dollars on whisky
when it undertook to do 80, would
not be worth two dollars itself.

We have a great liking for nice old gentle
men of complying nature, who are extremely
anxious not to make trouble or to get in the way
of the younger and the sprightlier ana among
these amiable old folks we are happy to
reckon ex-President Pierce, who Is often good
enough to write private letters intended for
publication, and to send forth from his dlgnl-
fed retreat in New Hampshire expressions OF
a touching and abiding confidence in a party
which must feel the Goals of fire frying its
polite old head, when it considers how sour
yiy it treated this fOrgiving and forgetting
recuse The thrilling intelligence reaches us
from Washington that the ex-President atore-
said has written a fresh epistle as aforesaid,
which. after a reprehensible delay of three
weeks the recipient has sent to the news
papers. The purpOrt of this missiye Is, that
whoever may be nominated for the Presidency
by the Democrats will receive the support and
the vote of +. Pierce. The latter, of course,
counts one only, but the immense value OF the
support we cannot pretend to reckon ana
we hasten to congratulate the candidate, who
ever he may be, upon this early ausplclous
omen. 1t would, we may be sure, have made
an immense difference if +. Pierce had written
that he could not think Of supporting this man,
and that his objections TO the other were insur-
mountable. Such fastdOusness we know would
have dreadfully embarrassed the Convention.
But +. Pierce. with magnanimity which does
him inexpressible honor says that he isn't nice
he will support PendletOn, or fight for Han
cock. or make addresses for DOollttle, or draw
up resolutions for Hendricks, or generally do
his best for Seymour. Unfortunately. nc does
not state whether he could or could not swai-
low Chief-Justice Chase but we presume he
would make no faces at young Mr. Adams. be-
cause that promising youth came to the rescue
of f. Pierce's party at the last New -Hamp-
shire election and achieved miracles IN the way
of speech making.
A singular feature of this letter is that Mr.
+. Pierce promises "heartily to support either
p. or II. or ID. or S. or Hendricks. This would
seem to argue that, since he left otice, the ex-
President has come into the possession of an
organ which very few people have ever sus'
roctsd him ,,,f possessing. We do not know
that it is possible to get heart into a man
by a surgical operation but we have nGard oi
ancient people who came in by the beney0'
lence of Nature for an entirely new set oi
teeth in their old age, and after long inter
regnum of artificial gums and gold plate. II
F. Pierce has developed a heart at this late
stage of his mortal existence, he iS such a
physiological curiosity that we think the DEM
ocratic National Convention would be perfectly
justified in nominating him.

THE cBICAGO CONTENTION.

The Chicago Convention organized yesterday
# will continue and probably conclude its
worL, to-day. The speeches of Gov. Ward OF
New.Jersey. Gov. Hawley of Connecticut, and
Gen. Carl Schurz, show resolution and wisdom.

famed by the stinging disappointment in this
" hour however keen our sense of wrong may
" be. carry us beyond the bounds of wisdom and
" selfrespect" The Convention has higher duties
than any special administration of discipline
The men who have surrendered their self-re-
snect and broken their repeated VOWS may well
be left to the patient indignation of their con-
stituents.

The sense of the American people is that every
dollar Of the Federal debt shall be paid, Doth
in letter and spirit, that there shall be Justice
IN the taxpayer as well as the bondhoidei'
and that Gen Grant shall not he put upon

wishes Of tbe people. Now that Reconstruc

the Republican party will go before the eoun-

doubts that existed as to the posi-
tion of Gen. Grant have been dls-

can party will follow him in his civil campaign
with as much enthusiasm as it did in his cam

The impeachment Managers continue their
investigation They elected, yesterday, some
interesting testimony concerning Senator Ross
faithless professions as TO how he would vote.
Wooley was further examined, and his tele-
graphic dispatches from Washington to various
points were taken possession of by the Man
ayers. Senator Henderson having been sum-
moned by the Board of Managers, has declined
to appear, denying the right of the Managers
TO subpoena him. Mr.. Henderson nevertheless
made a very explicit statement before the
House Committee appointed TO investigate the
action of the Missouri Representatives in con-
nection with his vote. He offers only sweep
ing denial to the charges against him OF collu-
sion with the President.

over the object of his hatred. This last enemy
Of our peace this fomenter OF intestine teudS,
of hostility and blOodshed, alone remains to be
overcome; and the first Tuesday Of November
next must see it unhorsed and put at rest for
ever
The NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE proposes to do in
this contest its very utmost for Impartial
Liberty and Equal Human Rights. Believing
the triumph of the Republicans therein to be
the natural and logical complement and con-
summation of that struggle for the rights Of
Human Nature which our Revolutionary
fathers so nObly initiated it enters upon the
Presidential campaign with perfect con-
sciousness that 1t will be, must be, one of un-
e0ualed excitement and intensity, but with
profound and joyful conviction that II can have
but one result-a result which will be hailed
with glad and grateful exultation by the cham
piOns of Liberty and Progress throughout the
civilized world. But we are quite aware also
that the victory will not he won without effort,
and that the most perfect diffusion of lntelli-
gence and Argument is prerequisite and essen
tial to its achievement, or at least to its COM
pleteness.
We now regularly circulate 10000 copies OF
our several editions, which are steadily in
creasing. We are able to print still more, and
ready to do SO for the bare cost of materials
and labor We propose, therefore. to publish a

The "Keley's Weekly" Gift swindle received
its death blow yesterday at the hands of Judge
Brady, who placed perpetual injunction on
the operations of the bogus firm, and took
steps to have its correspondence confiscated
and the money returned to the scndcrs. 1t is
too much to hope for, however, that the ex-
pOsure which has been made of the swindle
will niure the gift" business in the least.
The bogus lottery establishment of France,
Smith g. Co., at COvingtOn, KY, has also been
shut up by an injunction, and the parties really
responsible have run away to escape arrest. At
the same time the Post Office authorities seized
a great number of letters sent to the sOcalled
firm and sent them to the Dead Letter Depart
ment. These letters contained l,j90 in money,
all of which will be sent back to the credulOus
writer's. This concern has operated largely in
this city, and its victims here are numerous
1t is some satisfaction to hear that some
of the innumerable bogus lotteries have found
justice. The Gettysburg affair opened good
many sleepy eyes the exposure of France g.
CO. will open more. Tie public will under
stand that any dealings with the firm are now
under ban of the law. a regular injunction

"and we will send you adrift with your wives
"and children and you may starye for all we
"care." If a forced levy upon their pockets
does not convince these scoundrels OF the in
Justice of such electioneering, it VIII at least
provide for the innocent victims OF Democratic
policy.
Another phase of the matter is worth no
ticng. Suppose ten years ago any man mad
said: "The day will come when the leaders
"and candidates of the great pro-Slavery Demo
"cratic party-the cotton kings OF the South
"will be found cOaxing their ignorant Diack
"field-hands to vote for their arlstocracys
"favorite candidates." Such a prophet would
have been looked upon as fit only Tor the
wards of lunatic asylum. Yet, during the
recent elections, this Democratic begging for
negro votes has been conspicuous and notorl-
GUS. The friends of Major-Gen. Gordon, Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor of Georgia,
regularly organized their forces to proselyte
among the negroes their papers teemed with
accounts of "colored Democratic" meetings, and
"our colored fellow-citzens" took the place OF
"niggersr in their vocabulary. And 1T Is true
that great many negroes did vote for "the
"good old massa" who whipped, branded, ana
sold their fathers and mothers and even them
selves, in other days. We do not blame the
negroes; but what shall we say of the "chly-
"aIry" who damn the nigger in the lump, yet
sneak around with plug of tobacco and bot
tie of whisky to get the vote of the ngger as
an individuals And this is Democracy as 1t ls
Cen Candy has struck righteous blow

tions among men because Of their expression
of political opinion, and those distinctions bear
hard upon any class, the State shall see that
their malice is thwarted; that if they choose
to beg negro votes, and reward the black
donors for such as they get, they shall stop
there; they shall not persecute the man VINO
fails to do their requirements. The absolute
Justice of this order is beyond question. We
shall look in the leading Democratic Journals
for hearty commentator of Con. Candy, and
the generous acknowledgment that any man

Louis Kossuth refuses to recognize the pres
ent position of Hungary, and, therefore. de-
clnes the seat i'll the Diet to which he had been
elected. He strictly adheres to the principles
which he has advocated in years past, followed
by small number of deputies constituting
the extreme Left in the Diet, and by q very
large portion of the Hungarian nation. An
attempt to effect fusion between the friends
Of KOssuth and the moderate Left has for
the present failed. The majority of the Diet
seize every opportunity to denOunce the feeling
of Kossuth, and to strengthen their friendly re-
latiOns with the Government of Austria.

There is fearful shaking Of the dry bones
in the valley OF Democracy. Franklin Pierce,
John B. Floyd james Buchanan, John c. Cal
houn, Millald FILLMORE, William L. Yancey,
and other lights of the party are abroad in such
doubtful shapes that tue public hardly dare
speak to the appaItions. Mr.. Pierce nominates
w. s. Hancock for the Presidency. Mr.. Floyd
prefers Mcclellan on grounds Of military sym
pathy. Mr.. Buchanan has not made his yearn-
ings known, hut we assume that PendletOn,
being "model of gentlemanly department. OF
the style of the elder Mr.. Turveydrop, would
suit him. Mr. Calhoun is doubtless satisfied
with Andrew johnson on the general ground
that the Soutl, is entitled to all things. Mr..
Fillmore ardcntly admires the course Of Chief
Justice Citase, aud Mr.. Yancey would be salts
fed with lIOralio Seymour. So all the sheeted

crops, but that he is paying too high for his
manufactured goods Yet this last point would
lose them the manufacturers hence they must
say to the manufacturers High tariffs cause
"such competition between you that your prices
"and profits are lower than ever" Now the
points that seem to us worth considering are:
how manufacturers prices can be relatively
higher and yet be destroyed by undue compe-
tition; or how, if there is even due mot to say
undue) competition between the manufacturers,
their goods can fail to come at reasonable prices
for the farmer and workingman, who consume
themq How can the condition of the working
man be worse while manufacturers who employ
them arc under undue competitionY Certainly,
the greater the competition among employers
the better must be the condition of those whom
they employ How, if the condition OF work
ingmen grows worse, does that cause labor to
flock in from abroad7 And how, if working
mems cost of living is high, can farmers and
manufacturers prices be lowP Such inconslst-
ent positions are not the language of political
economy, but of thimble-rg.
