AN r BURTHEN.
The Thirty per Cent. Tax on Purchases
Of Liquor.

We know of no moro outrageous tax
upon a class of dealers (who, whatever
may be thought of the morality OF their
business, are still a recognized portion
and no insignificant portion-of our com
mercial community than the 40 per
cent. on purchases" levied on the bar
keepers and liquor dealers of this city.
1t is simply infamous, n its operation,
like that Of all unjust and OnerOus taxes
and penalties, defeats every end and aim
for which it was levied. The revenue
now arising from the sale of spirituOus
liquors is not a 1.-THE of what il should be,
and would be, with a proper and moderate
system of taxation. There are in the city
Of Memphis to-day, " hundred bar
rooms, tippling houses, and places where
liquor is sold by the glass. There is
scarcely One of these places but would
pay a reasonable amount of tax or license,
levied either on their sales or purchases.
But how is il now? How many Of them,
we ask the County Clerk, have made any
thing like the proper returns? Why, we
know OF one prominent bar-keeper, whose
receipts average so to 500 per diem the
year round, who sWOFe in his return hat
he had not purchased over five hundred
dollars worth of liquor in the past year.
Mr.. League could not go behind the re-
turn, and yet five hundred dollars is but
the price pf a single pipe of gin, andis NOT
one-twentieth part Of the value Of the
ligour purchased by this person. A man
Of no nice sense of right and wrong, the
dealer says to himself, - thirty per cent,
Is an outrageous extortion and swindie,
| will not begin TO pay iti" He then,
knowing that he has 10 make some return,
begins to consider how small a one he can
make without fear of being caught. pats
down a sum that auy official, with the
utmost credulitY, on a moments re1eG-
ton must knaE't TO he False. How would
il have been If the tax had been 1--WE or
ten per cent? Instead of cutting down
his returns from fifteen or twenty thou
sand dollars to five hundred dollars, he
would perhaps have halved it, and the
public treasury would have received five
hundred or a thousand dollars instead Of
one hundred and fifty, This is no i'm
aginary or isolated instaace-it IS real,
and is but a sample Of a score of liquor
dealers ~ this city Some few OF the
dealers arc, or course, honarahle uSOep-
tiOns, and have either made correct re-
turns, or are litigating the collection Of
the tax. We hope that this latter class
may succeed in their undertaking to
abolish the OdiOus and Onerous burfhen
PLACED upon them bY stupid aad rGeaally
Radical legislation, aud We call upOn our
own Senators and legislators to be the
FIRST to make a move ip this direction.

Death Of E1-Pre.ldsnt Pierce.

Franklin Pierce, ex-President of the
United States, died at his residence in
Concord, New Hampshire, Friday last.
Though regularly nominated and elect
ed President, he was as clearly an ac-
cident as Johnson and,Fillmore. Before
his Presidency he had been a United
States Senator not greatly distinguished;
and he had commanded brigade under
Scott in the advance from Vera Cruz to
the City of Mexico. As President, with
Jefferson Davis for Secretary of War,
Pierce fell under the influence of the ex-
treme Southern politicians. His ad-
ministration was distinguished chiefly
for the drift of the Democratic party in
to Southern ultraism. He was anxious
to be elected second term, but was de-
feated in the Cincinnati Convention by
Buchanan. Personally Frank Pierce
was very pleasant gentleman. He was
habitually well dressed, and had good
manners, and it was his habit to be
courteous and agreeable. He was not a
man of very positive character. The
influence of those about him during his
administration was distinguished easily.
He affected great energy and self-will
occasionally, but it was plainly not in
character. His messages. and other
writings were noted for laborious
straining after effect. His sentences
were often elaborate, occasionally ele-
giant, but never had rugged strength.
