WHAT WE MAY ExpEcT-The New
York Herald is showing what the country
has to expect in the event Of the election
OF Grant and Colfax:
military despotism, supported by i'm
mense taxation. and ruling at the will OF
an oligarchy of arrogant politicians in Con-
gress is what the Republicans have labor
ed for in the past. Within this simple
and comprehension programme lie all their
principles, all their political ideas; and for
this programme they will labor more ener-
geticaly and with more resolute persistency
in the future. They will extend the sphere
of its operations also. Grant accepts their
programme fully, unreservedly, slavishly
and deliberately promises, beforehand, that
he will oppose no obstruction to it, that
no "policy" of his shall stand in the way Of
the prearranged policy of the pen who pull
the wires of his political existence. II
such party succeeds in electing such
a President, the country can judge wha;
must be the result. What is-the' conduct

sent investigation but foretastelof what
would follow with such men I'M power

citizen invented at once. Without any

The DISTINGUISHED.

1t is sore imputation on the Justice OF

that while the rights Of man, according to
their creed, require universal negro sui.
frage, the same rights of man, oblinate
gross distranchisement of the most yirtu-
Gus. wealthy and intelligent white men
This accusation causes them to sneeze with
Indignation whenever it is put under their
progressive nostrils. Very recently. Sena-
tor Hendricks stated that 100000 white
men were ontlawed in the South. Senator
Drake denied this with some heat. Sena
tor Hendricks was under the mark, that is
all. More than 100000 men have been ex-
cluded from voting in the ten territorial
satrapies. To which add sO,0OOin Tennes-
see, 10000 in Missouri and 10000 in West
Virginia. Commenting upon this tiia bolt
cal crime, the National Intelligencer OBJ
serves:
ut is entirely within bounds to say that
over half a million of white men have been
disfranchised in this republican America
by what Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts,,
would call the liberty-loving party of
the country-liberty i'll his Judgment be-
ing the license to commit any crime chat
has the elements of cruelty and meanness."

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF IN
TERSAL REVENUE, Washington, Novem-
Der II, 1S6S.-The attention of all officers
Of internal revenue is called to the regula-
tions in relation to the marking and brand
ing of casks or packages of distilled spirits,
4 strict compliance with which is enjoined
upon al officers, and especially gaugers.
Complaints are made that there is great
lack of uniformity among the gaugers in
carrying out the regulations, and it is
charged that in some districts the regula-
tons are persistently and deliberately dis
regarded. There is no difficulty in under
standing the regulations, and all officers are
notified that they must be strictly COM
piled with.
1t is also reported that the stamps for dis
titled spirits are in many instances negli,
gently and insecurity attached. This is
almost entirely the result of carelessness on
the part of the gauger and undue haste in
afixing the stamp.
Care must be taken to attach the stamps
securely and smoothly to a clean surface,
and the gauger must take time enough to dc
so. After it is so affixed it should be can
celled as prescribed, and then covered with
the transparent varnish. This is matter
for which the gauger will be held RESPONSE
bic, and desire to do the greatest amount
Of work in the shortest space Of time will
not be accepted rs an excuse for failure
to do the work well.
Collectors and other Selling officers are
instructed to detain or seize any and al
casks or packages of spirits gagged after
the receipt Of these instructions which are
not marked and branded as required by the
instructions, Series 4, No. !, and the sup
plement thereto, and forthwith report the
facts to this office. The owner of the spirits
will find it for his interest to insist that the
gauger does his work correctly.
Any neglect to mark and brand spirits as
required by the regulations, or any case OF
negligence or carelessness in attaching the
stamps, should be at once reported to this
Office, that the proper steps may be taken
for the dismissal of the officer go doing; and
collectors will also be justified in declining
to assign any gauger to duty who shall be
found guilty of such negligence, careless
ness, or disregard of the regulations.

fishes the following:
"Colonel Lono remains at Tunas. Seve-
raj flags carried by the revolutionists have
been captured. They are triangular in
shape, and have sun in the centre, with
radiating stripes Of different colors."
The Uiario regards this flag as indicating
an intention Of the insurgents to declare
their independence of Spain, and says
"We are glad the rebels have thrown off
the mask. The right and duty of the
Spanish Government to dispossess and an
initiate these traitors is no longer ques-
ton of politics. 1t is one of national
unity" 1t is represented that nearly all

means or Mexicans. A number of rebel
prisoners captured by the troops were
