KIRR,s NEW INVENTION.

Mr.. Fl. II. Kirk writes to his wife at
Springfield, Tennessee, that he has obtained
a patent for his new and wonderful inyen-
ton for disabling, and will shortly be able
to present it TO the public. The Register,
of the 29d, says of it:
Mr.. Kirk certainly has developed the
most profitable system of distilling ever
before discovered, and will make it public
in very short time.
We also have strong grounds for forming
the opinion that the law making power of
the government will adopt it for general
use Should it do SO, We can congratulate
the whole country, as well as friend Kirk,
upon having achieved something that will
bring financial relief to the government
In fact we do not see how Congress can re-
iect it and prove to the people that that
body desires the collection of the revenue
on whisky, thus relieving the country of
the heavy burden of taxation upon the
substantials of life. a--st.
As the system is now carried on the
consumer pays just as high for whisky a.
if the tax was actually paid on it, and it Is
estimated that only $28,000,00O a year
taxi has been collected, which il also es-
timated at IS cents per gallon on the
quantity distilled, then we have l54, O0O,O 900
Of gallons, which at 81 per gallon (tax)
would be $308,000,000 a year revenue to
the government. These figures show a loss
| to the government Of the enormous sum OF
S2S0,00000O year.
The question will be asked, what EVIL
| dences we have that by the adoption OF
| Mr., Kinks system that this amount can
be. collected. Simply the construction OF
| the machinery will prove that all the
| responsibility of fraud must rest upon the
| assessor who has the distillery in charge.
| But again, If a system is Instituted 10y
/ which the distiller can make living prohl
/ honestly, there will not be 80 great dis
position to defraud the government. MIR.
| Hopkins, the assessor, who ia an upright
| truthful gentleman and faithful officer
states that this distillery Operated by
| Garrett when in good working order
win make not less than three gallons q
finished proof whisky from each bushel o
corn distilled two gallons only, being the
common estimate by the presen system.)
Again, the quality of the whisky made
by Mr.. Garrett has given such genera
satisfaction that Messrs. Moore, WoodarC
& Co. have offered Mr.. Garrett $3 Pc
gallon for an additional one hundred bar
rels; here we have it. Mr.. q. makes from
one busheI Of corn SO, which costs him
say 81, (the slop paying other expenses) HI
paws the government Sc and has So ne
profit from each blishel Of grain, and take
no risk in frauds. 1t Isl system of equality
the poor has an equal chance with the rlcl
according to the amount Of his capital
We say let us have Kinks system. In
distillers want it, the taxpayers want II

4 CASE OF FEDERAL AND STATE
RIGHTS TO BE TESTED.

We learn from the Detroit Free Press
that in the United States District Court for
the eastern district Of Michigan, there have
recently been commenced prosecutions
against some two hundred grocerymen and
storekeepers for an alleged violation OF a
law passed by Congress fixing heavy pen
atty for selling petroleum as an illumina-
ting oil, of less specific gravity than that
fixed by said enactment. The ground
taken by the counsel for the defendants, in
a demurrer to the indictment is, that the
general government has no right to inter-
fere. or to pass any enactment regulating,
or attempting TO regulate, matter which
purely and only relates to the municipal
regulations of the State. 1t is claimed that
Congress has just as much right TO regulate
the sale of milk, or diseased meat or
vegetables on the market, "a TO regulate the
specific gravity Of Illuminating gas. The
FFee Pres well remarks that there are yet
some of the people who wish to know when,
where and upon what subjects the present
presumptous law making power at WASH
ington will not take in hand.

the President that If he Grant was re-

misses to the President that he would res
main and become party to the contro-

pursue, and forty eight hours before the
Senate acted, he waited on the President of
his own volition, and announced his de-

a Cheering Word from the Newly
Elected Democratic senator.


Elected Dem0crafic senator.
Upon the nomination of Mr.. Casserly TO
the United States Senate, he was called
ont, and made brief speech, which he
concluded as follows:
] shall hope at not a remote day TO
stand in the Senate Of the United States,
an advocate-the least, perhaps, in ability
Of any there, but among the very foremost
for, easnestness and heartfelt sincerity OF
purpose-an advocate of the constitution,
and the Laws Of the United States made in
accordance Herewith, Of the rights of the
States, and Of the rights Of the people Of
the States. and particularly of the people
of those States in the South now grooming
under the most frightful, ignoble and re-
voting bondage ever imposed upon a free
people. ~ tremendous applause. Against
that great wrong / shall hope to stand,
ever and always, if not in the front rank,
still steady in the line Of its opponents
and enc Of tire defenders of constitutional
rights, of the true institutions of American
liberty. Applause No prouder task
than that can ever fall TO the lot of man,
for man is never 40 noble ~ when hestands
up-for the right, for The liberties, and for
the protection Of trampled and much
wrohged minority, against unreasoning,
cruel and revolving might. [Applause.
And whether / stand with few or with
many, with much favor or against great
opposition, / shall always stand there, /
hope, never to be moved by fear or favor
from the task which have imposed upon
myself, by your consent and sufrages,
gentlemen, this night, from doing all that
in me lies to press speedy and immedi-
ate, unconditional Liberation of that peo-
pie from the bondage which | have de-
scribed, and their restoration 10 unity, to
the totality of their constitutional rights
as States in the Union. Applause Let
me say, gentlemen, that shall hope 10 do
my duty for the cause and for the State Of
California wherever your banner is,
there will be. Where the press is thick
est, and the strife is hottest, shall hope
to raise my weak arm in the defense of the
right against the blow dealt by the wrong;
and, above and before all things, in the
restoration Of that large and important
portion Of he American Union to its rights
in the Union under the constitution, as any
ether portion of the Union, without jot
or title of condemnation or abatement.
Applause.
