1t is very generally conceded that the Island

and fully equal in finish, to the best goods In the
country. So much has been won by adherence to
the following rules:

We referred last week was committed by o
man named VIM. Kidd on the person Of

JEM. GONG. CONyENTION.-We are ad-
vised that the Democratic Convention is or
will be called for August 10Th at West
Union. We believed McGregor to be more
accessible by river and rail, but it is no
matter where the place. The DEBORAH
Democrat, one of the thorns in the side of
bogus loyalty, in speaking Of the candi-
dates refers in very complimentary terms
to our townsman John 7. Stoneman, Esq.
SuURLY of the Democrat, wants a good
man to beat Allison with he thus re-
marks:
"We suggest John I. Stoneman Of Nc
think that if he could be induced to accept
driven to the wall.
In all the trials and tribulations Of the
Democracy, during the past few years,
Mr.. Stoneman has stood firm and steadfast
in battling for the rights of the people
and the interest Of his country. He was
never known as a ''policy'' dodger-bat as
a consistent, true and loyal democrat.
Although a ''new hand'' in the political
interests OF this district, we are familiar
with the antecedents Of MI. Stoneman,
and knou the man Of whom we speak.
Old Winneshiek will stand by him to the
last. What say our Democratic contem-
poraries"
No political move would afford US more
| pleasure than the election of JOHN, saving,
always the defeat Of Grant and Colfax, but
Mr.. Stoneman is already harnessed to the
electoral ticket, and we learn that he does
not regard a Congressional nomination as
compatible with his position as Elector
for this District. IF our vote to-day would
elect JOHN, he would 60 to Washington,
by telegraph if necessary, and assist, by
his judgment and eloquence in the restora-
ton of our country to its old-time peace
and prosperity.

An Alarming Statement.

Secretary McCulloch sent to Congress
yesterday statement of the amount OF
income derived from the tax on dis
titled spirits. The estimate of Special
Commissioner Wells was that the Treas
ury would receive fifty millions Of dol
lars per annum from the tax; but it
appears that the receipts are only about
a million month, or twelve millions a
year-being thirty EIGHT millions short
of the estimate made OH behalf of the
Government.
1t was in part on the estimate of re-
ceipts from this and other special
sources, made by Mr.. Wells, that Con-
gress acted in reducing the taxation
upon manufactures and other means of
revenue. But such an alarming deficit
on the expected income from single
article must interfere seriously with the
anticipated results of the Congressional
policy of lowering the taxation.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Wells es-
innate would be realized if the whisky
tax were collected. His scheme Of rev.
enue was based on the theory that it
would be collected, or at least that the
greater part of it would be collected.
But it seems that less than quarter Of
his estimate is received by the Treasury.
This is q state of things that cannot
much longer be disregsrdea with safety
to the treasury, the public credit or the
public interests. Some means must at
once be devised and enforced to prevent
such tremendous frauds upon the reve-
nue. as are practiced in the whisky in
terest.-N Y. Times.

From the Pittsburgh Advocate.
The Work of Ecnianisni. Z.

While having little faith in the
practicability of the schemes of the Fe-
nian organization, as far as they relate
to the liberation of Ireland from foreign
rule, we believe the continued dread
which it has awakened OH the other side
ef the water has been, and will still con-
tinue to be, productive of much good to
the Irish people.
As long as the Fenian Brotherhood
was inactive, and a simple constabulary
force was sufficient to preserve order in
Ireland, all petitions for the repeal of
obnoxious laws were treated with con-
tempt by Parliament. A titled gentle
man who is supported by Irish tenant
ry, and sent year after year to that
august body, had the temcrity to say, a
few years since, that instead Of listening
to trivial and insOlent petitions, the
ministry should send an army ever the
channel to teach them how to respect a
good government.
The knowledge that there are two
hundred thousand men linked together
by sacred bond, whose only aim is to
give Ireland chance to enroll herself
among the independent nationalities of
the earth, has brought even the Tory
leaders to their knees. Hence England
is now voluntarily giving that to the
Irish which she Indignantly refused
when it was applied for-an exemption
from the obnoxious tithe system. Moth
ing like the glimmer of pistol or the
echo of musket, even if that echo does
come all the way from Canada, to bring
the British lion to treaty terms. If the
good work continues u few years, there
will be no law upon the statute books
of England that any reasonable Irish
man can object to.

The Steamship Rnce

notwithstanding the denial of Mr..
Cunsrd that any arrangement what
ever had been made for race betwee n
the Cuba, or any other vessel of his
lise, and the City of Paris, Ofthe Inman
line, it is asserted that the race never
theless did take place. Both vessels
sailed from New York on the 18th inst,
and the ocean telegraph announced that
the City of Paris bad passed Cape Clear,
the southerly point Of the Irish coast, at
seven o'clock of the morning Of the 9th
Greenwich time,) and up 70 halfpast
nine o'clock the Cuba was not in sight.
Assuming that the City of Paris reached
Queenstown four hours later, she made
the run in eight days, fourteen hours
and thirty minutes, which is very quick
time. This will probably settle the
question of the relative speed of the two
vessels,

Bonner,s Dexter

The Tarf, Field and Farm has the fol-
lowing notice of the great trotting
horse Dexter, which will be interesting
to many persons here: Dexter was al
lowed the most perfect rest during the
winter, and be is looking better than
be ever looked. His feet have spread,
and there is not particle Of lameness
about the horse. Last week he was
taken from his stable for the first time
since his shoes were removed last fall
Mr. David Bonner rode him cut in the
Park under saddle. Dexter was full OF
life, aud after the first nervous, colt
like bounds, he settled down to q steady
gait, tIotted squarely, aud with great
speed. He attracted much attention,
as the whits legs and white face are SO
wildly known. Thousands turned
their heads to look at the King, and
from all lips came words of admiration.
The superb condition Of the horse ex'
cited the warmest praise. Mr.. Bonner
is now driving Dexter on the road, but
IN June he will be sent tOthe Island to
be prepared for his beating the best
time on record.
