Supreme Court.

EDITORS OHIO STATEsMAN-As the De-
m ocracy are looking about for a proper
p ,rson to put on the ticket for Supreme
Judge, would suggest the name of Hon.
John L. Green, of this city. now Common
Pleas Judge of this subdivision. Judge
Green combines. in an eminent degree, all
the qualifications which the position re-
anires, and is moreover one of the best of
Democrats. He has had the experience as
lawyer and judge, and his legal learning
and ability, place him among the first of
the legal talent of Ohio. His opinions, as
Common Pleas Judge, always carefully
prepared, have commanded the confidence
and admiration of the bar here and else
where, and clearly show habits of mind
and discipline so indispensable to the SUI
preme Bench. Not only his own county,
but all Central Ohio, would be rejoiced to
see the State Convention take him up.

Stealing Ninety Per Cent. of the
Whisky Tax.

The Government tax on whisky is So per
gallon. The statistics elected by the Ways
and Means Committee, in its investigation
of the whisky frauds, show that the Gov
ernment has collected only eighteen cents
instead of two dollars per gallon-a loss by
stealing, hiding, etc., of one dollar and
eighty-two cents on every gallon made.
Thus over ninety per cent. of the tax goes
as premium to rascality, and is pocketed
by corrupt officials who aid the distillers to
evade the law. These statistics were based
on the data furnished by the records OF the
Revenue Bureau, and did not include any
estimate for the losses which the Govern
ment has sustained since June last. The
Cincinnati Gazette says that it is probable
that the detailed statement will show that
less than nine cents per gallon have been
collected during the present fisc al year.

The Year that has Passed and

To-day we write 1868. as the year of our
Lord. The year which expired at mid
night last night, has been numbered with
dead, but it will not be forgotten. The sue
cession of Democratic victories which mark
ed its eventful period, has cheered the heart
of the patriot and made him look forward
in the confident hope of other and brighter
days for the Republic and the millions who
inhabit it. The hope dawned upon the
public mind during the year last past, that
the days of Radical misrule was numbered
"a rule that has reduced nearly one-third
of the States of the Union to mere con-
quered provinces held by military power
the late slaves made masters, the
late masters political slaves. To
support this disunion scheme the country
has been taxed, and while the best markets
have been cut off, the tax gatherer forces
from the tax payer in many instances the
last dollar, to feed, to clothe, to school and
to keep in tdleness the blacks of the South,
while the whites, reft of their property.
were left to starve. Taxed as never before
was nation or people taxed-ground to the
earth in order to pay the demands which the
Radical Congress has ordered its assessors
| to levy and its collectors to force payment,
the ration sees the unjust exclusion OF
nearly all the moneyed wealth of the ma
tion from taxation, while the masses, not
bondholders, are taxed on all they have,
with more than remorseless cruelty.
The year 1867 gave notice of ejectment
to the bold, bad men who had discovered the
Union and whose demand for taxes from the
producers, while the non-producers were
allowed. to go untaxed By the National
and State tax gathcrer, puts to shame the
cry of the mother of the horse leech,
which was give give give! They have
been tried in the balance and found want
| ing, and with as much fear and trembling
as the guilty BELsHAzzAR saw the hand
writing on the wall, these men look for
ward to the Presidential election of the
pres>st year, which will consign them to q
retirement as eternal as it is merited.
The new year thus dawns with bright
hopes for the Republic, Notwithstanding
the news of distress and starvation which
comes to us from the South. and! the distress
which pervades those scarcely able to meet
the Government demands against them,
still the signs for the future are SO bright,
that all can see and feel that the present
year will produce that change so neces-
sary to the well being and happiness OF
the people and to the perpetuity of the
Republic. This fact, standing out in
broad relief, we hail the new year
day, as the commencement of that year
that will elect for the nation Democratic
President, who will, with the able Con-
gress that will be elected to assist him,
right the wrongs of the last six years.
For this, as patriots ana as men, we re-
joice, and because of the bright pros
poets ahead, ours will be, as we wish all
our readers, A HAPPY New YEAR.

Outrages by Negroes.

The Raletqh North Carolina) Sentinel of
the 24th of December cabs the attention of
the military authorities to the condition of
depredations and outrages of the negroes.
The Sentinel says:
"We beg respectfully and earnestly to
appeal to the military authorities of the
State in behalf of our people in the coun-
ties of Craven, Jones and Lenoir, who, since
the termination OF the war, have been SUBJ
jecJed to the most wicked, lawless and vio-
lent outrages-murders in cold blood, and
robberies unequaled in any portion OF our
country. Citizens, quietly at home, or pur-
suing their lawful business, are shot down
and their persons and premises robbed by
lawless bands of armed negroes. Our white
people are not allowed to be armed, but
negroes are known to be fully armed; and
in that section of the State these outrages
have been renewed in the most aggravated
manner recently. The efforts of both the
military and civil officers of that section
have been insufficient to suppress the dis
orders.
ave learn from reliable sources that
general uneasiness and alarm exist in those
counties. White persons who are COM
PEELED to travel the roads are now obliged
to go in gangs for self-defense. No white
man can travel the roads after dark with
out imminent hazard of his life. Quiet
families are now almost every night dis
turbed by these lawless bands, and the
slightest resistance to their plundering is
met with instant death.'
The Ne,o Orleans Picaylne has the follow
ing:
-"On Sunday evening last, on Triton
Walk, the Dryades street cars were stop
ped by gang of negroes, who, i'll mere
wantonness of mischief, would not suffer
them to pass along the track. Some four
or five cars very soon had reached the place
where the first car had been stopped. and
all now stood awaiting the permission of
these dusky citizens to resume their route.
The cars were filled with gentlemen with
their wives and children returning to their
homes. Not content with stopping the
cars and blocking the track for over an
hour, these ''men and brothers." growing
bolder from the impunity with which their
first excesses were committed, now took
another step, and ran the cars off the track.
By this means, for over two hours were
the cars prevented from running either
way from this point. and those who were
on them prevented from reaching their
homes"

Ear from Exaegera,:on.

1t was to be hoped that the reports first
given publicity setting forth the existence
of the most appalling distress, privation
I'd starvation throughout the South, were
exaggeration but the latest intelligence
| from that ILL fated section declares it no ex-
aggeration. Aud matters, instead of prom
ising speedy amendment, seem running
from bad to worse. Upon this state of
things our people cannot look indifferently.
Their self-interest prompts the liveliest
solicitude. A few days ago we cited evil
dence showing conclusively almost COM
plete stagnation in manufacturing dis
tricts throughout the New England States,
and that in pretty much all departments o.
business. in the State of New York times
had scarcely ever been as bad as they are
now. Thousands are out of employment.
Wages are being cut down. By telegraph
| yesterday, we received from New York
city the information that several large
manufactures in Morrissiana have dis
charged large number of hands.
These things are not the result of mere
accident; they are the inevitable out
growth of bad legislation and of perni-
cious Congressional policy. An overhaul
ing of the finances will not give to the
country its needed relief. While it is faulty
and needs amendment and improvement,
there is much more absolute necessity for
a repeal of the Congressional Reconstruc-
tion policy, and the Inauguration of q
policy that will give the South over to the
rule of White men. That section of the
Union is now much worse off than when
the War terminated. The War had devas-
tared it and impoverished its people; but
the rich and fertile lands remained and by
proper tillage would by this time have done
much to repair their shattered and broken
fortunes. For the Whites there was no in
ducement to work with spirit, inasmuch
as they had no guarantee that the Negroes
would not have the fruits OF their labor
set apart for them. The Negroes have been
encouraged in idleness by being quartered
on the Freedmen's Bureau and by being
induced to turn politicians. They have
not worked, and now starvation is upon
them. They are foraging the country and
appropriating to their own use the accum-
ulations of those who have been industri-
GUS and thrifty, and yet these accumula-
tions are not sufficient to meet the require
ments of the Southern people. Upon the
people Of the North they are compelled to
call for help, and the people of the North
are in condition that they can lily render
the required help. Were the South pros
porous, instead of impoverished and desc
lated, the North would be corresponding
ly happy and prosperous. 1t makes
all the difference imaginable wheth-
er ten States, with population OF
eight millions. are active producers OF
whether they draw upon the resources OF
other States for sustenance; and so long as
the work OF establishing Negro suprema-
cy in the South is permitted to go on, just
80 long will the South be tax upon the
energy and enterprise of the North. How
long the North will consent to be thus tax
ed, and at the same time have its prosperity
stricken down and crippled, remains to be
lseen,

A WRITER in the last number of the
North British Review enumerates startling
facts in reference to what he terms 1.-THE
disuse of marriage" in the upper ranks of
this nation, and draws some conclusions
from those facts which assuredly are grave
enough, and deserve at all events to be
carefully pondered. His facts are these
and every one, we imagine. by reference
to the last census and the annual renorts of
the Registrar General, can verify them or
correct them for himself. The mere figures,
however, are, we believe, unimpeach-
able. The number of women of
mature years, 1. e., above the age of twen-
ty, who mast remain single in consequence
of the actual disproportion of the sexes in
England and Wales is between 100000 and
400 600. The number of adult women who
actually are single is 1.537,000. of whom
]. l.23O,O00 are between twenty and forty
wears of age. ''Of all adult women JJfUe per
cent. Che argues) would naturally and vol
UNFAIRLY be spinsters; as fact, 27 per cent.
between twenty and forty, in England, 5S
per cent. are married, 80 per cent. are
spinsters, and 3 per cent. are wild
ows. In word, two adult women
out of every five are single.'
1t would appear, moreover, that dispro-
portionate number of these s. involuntary
celibates'' belong to the higher and the
upper middle ranks, marriage and even
pretty early marriage being the rule among
the lower and middle classes with all who
are not in domestic service. The writer
traces the cause of this increase of involun-
tary spinsterhood to the spreading luxury
| of the age, and to the too prevalent senti
ment on the part of indolent and self-in
dulgent young men in "socety," tina
there are many other luxuries much more
difficult to forego than the luxury of wifi
