ed its reference to the Committee on

Mr.. Cullom, of Illinois, remarked

Mr.. Ingersoll, of Illinois, said he
had and would have it for two or
three mornings more until it was

Mr., Garfield, of Ohio, moved its
reference to the Committee on Bank
ing.
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, in
quired whether an objection would
prevent the introduction of the bill

The Speaker said it would not.
Mr. Cox of New York thought the

A Special from wenden PhIIIips

NEWBURYPORT, December 10
WendelI Phillips, in a special at the
Lyceum last night, demanded OF
congress to assume the Government
which the Executive has abdieated :
that 1t compel the State lately In re-
belIion to educate their eight millions
OF ounces, and if they refuse to do so.
then the Government itself at the
expense of all the people shall as.
sume the duty, afterwards sending
the bill to the different States. II
must protect the citizens as well as
lGglslate for them. The war is not
ended; IL has just begun. In the
latter portion of his lecture the
speaker severely criticized the New
York Tribune for virtually saving.
on Saturday last, that we could NOT
carry on this Government unless we
entreat Jefferson Davis to come and
help US,
Mr.. Phillips said the Southern
writers have got the business and the
wealth, and have captured the Su.
preme Court, A worse than Tanev
Wlelds Its thunderbolt to-day-a
recreant Republican, a man who
drags the ermine through the infamv

at Its head, he would marshal its
forces and nail its colors 'ENo forgive.
ness" to the mast head, and absolute.
Iy 1mpregnate every Northern mind
with the idea. The speaker continu.
ed with a demand that the land
should be given to the blacks as
freely as possible, and spoke with
great force of the coming tide of
Orientals to the Pacific shore, which
is TO be a greater act of American
civilization than anything 1t has yet
experienced,

REVENUE FRAUDS.

The investigation Of the customs
frauds In New York resulted, in the
Indictment Of Blatchiord, deputy col
lector OF thatport whose whereabouts
is yet q profound mystery, The
frauds in the customs and other rev.
enue departments seem steadily
growing into frightful proportions.
The drawback and other frauds In
the New York custom houses, known
TO cover q million or more, are not
probed to the bottom before the an
nouncement Is made Of similar dis
Ooveries In California, and the truth
comes out that Supervisor Fulton's
mission to that region Is not excIu-
siveIy to look after dIstillers, but into
the affairs ofthe custom houses there.
1t is discovered, among other things,
that fine liquors were shipped into
San Francisco In bond, and when the
vessels arrived at their destination,
instead Of containing liquor the bar
rels were filed with water. Also
that the compromise fees paid reve-
nue. officials amounted, as far as dis
covered, to many thousands Of dol
lars. The contraband traffic In opium
has been worked into q well-establish-
ed system, and Is carried on uninter-
rnptedly by way Of the Isthmus, as
we'll as across the Canada border.
The practice by way Of the Isthmus
point Is, first to ship the opium from
China to Callao, Peru, or some other
point In South America where con-
nivance of customs officers Is cheaply
obtained, and thence to Panama,
where the shippers bond Is cancelled
on production of q landing certificate.
At Panama 1t Is put In trunks or
packages labelled ''through baggage
for San Francisco" from New York.
and sent forward by the next steam
or to its destination.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1869-12-15

THE Supreme Court of Indiana
has decided that official bonds of
State and county officers need not be
stamped-that the United States
general government has no power to
impose such tax and no bond Is void
because 1t is unstamped, This is but
another recognition of the old states
rights doctrine the states made
the general government for their con-
venience, conferring certain powers,
written and expressed in the Consti-
tuition and the u. s. government has
no other power. The states existed
before the general government-the
revolutionary war was fought to
make the colonies independent
states'' and it did 40. Has any state
lost It's independence? Ifso, when
and where? Has the general gov
