Hnudsome Notice,

The following first-rate notice of a
retiring" editor is from the Tampa
(Fla.) Peninsula:
ave wish to warn the press of the
country and the public generally against
one L. o. Plumbe, late editor of the
True Southerner, in this city. He is an
imposter, scoundrel, a woman insult
er, liar, thief, and everything else that
is mean and contemplate in the eyes
OF honest men. He came from Dubuque,
Iowa, about eighteen months ago, and
has resided in this city since that time.
He left here few weeks ago on busl-
ness to Tallahassee, bat took good care
not TO return. He left without paying
his honest debts, store accounts, board
bills, &c; borrowed all the valuable
books he could, and carried them with
him, or, at least, shipped them week
before he left He is a genuine carpet
bagger, a poor thief, but q splendid

The Liquor Trade Convention.

CHICAGO, November 25.-The Liquor
Trade Convention, before adjournsng
yesterday afternoon, elected Richard
Chenery, of San Francisco, President,
with Vice Presidents from each State
represented.
The Convention reassembled this
morning at 10 o'clock, and the commit
tee on Resolutions reported series
essentially as follows: That the tax on
distilled spirits should be collected by a
direct tax at the place of manufacture
sufficient to cover the present direct aud
indirect tax, and in this tax should be
included the present direct tax,
special tax, tax on sales,
rectifer's tax, guager's and inspectors
fees, which are now imposed, so that
when spirits leave the distillery the
general trade may be relieved, and be
business. That with q more simplified
mode of collecting the revenue at the
distillery by concentration of the most
efficient officers of the Government at
the point of collections; are of opinion
that the tax on spirits can be more fully
collected, greater revenue obtained by
the Government at far less expense and
trade relieved of many present unnec-
essary complications, and the simplest
way of doing so is to tax the capacity
of each distillery; that inasmuch as
private individuals, firms and corpora
tions are responsible for the acts of
their agents, so do We think the Gov
ernment should be responsible for the
acts of it's agents, and on that account
should seek the most efficient and tried
officers for positions, so that when spir-
its once leave Government charge and
are offered for sale innocent parties
may not be held responsible for the
negligence or dishonesty Of the
officials of the Government; that
they view the present system of stamps,
marks, brands, &c, as superfluous and
arbitrary, and should be dispensed with
and each party have the privilege of
branding his barrels and packages so as
to designate exactly what they con-
tain.
That in presenting the above resolu-
tions we do so in the full assurance that
our interests are identical with those of
the Government, being it's largest tax
payers, and as such should be fully pro-
tected rather than oppressed and tram.
meled, as we now are, under
the existing laws and regulations;
that, while cordially endorsing
the efforts Of Hon. c. Delano, the pres.
ent Commissioner Of Internal Revenue,
in his endeavors for the suppression of
frauds in the manufacture of distilled
spirits, we think that with q more SIM
plified mode of collecting the tax, as
expressed in the foregoing resolutions,
the object can be more readily attained,
and as honest dealers we pledge him
our hearty cooperation.
The resolutions were adopted.
The resolutions adopted urge the rep
resentatives in Congress, and the COM
mittee of Ways and Means, to carry ont
the idea of these resolutions.
Adjourned sine die.

SENATOR MORTON, of Indiana, having
been indulging in some remarks upon
the horrible manner in which the Dem
ocrats cheat at elections, the Louisville
Courier. Journal recalls the time when
Mr.. MORTON ran for Governor of lndi-
ana, when the belief was that it
would be death to the Radical party to
allow Indiana to go for the Democracy,
and when, of course, she had to be saved
to the Radicals at whatever cost of
fraads and crimes of every description.
and continues:
The township in which Indianapolis
is situated, though but small portion
of the county, rave vote of nine thou.
sand two hundred and sixtyfive, and
majority OF over six thousand for Nor
ton. Yet, in 1862, the vote of tho whole
county was only little over eight
thousand! In the election of Morton,
soldiers from other States voted, for
eigners voted, minors voted-all with
out challenge. 1t was as much as
ones life was worth to make an obIec-
tion to a soldiers vote, no matter who
he was or where he belonged. Anything
in soldiers clothes passed muster. The
uniform was badge of terror to pollti-
cal opponents. An officer would
take gang of men and march
them from poll to poll, and
have them vote at each. Candid Radi-
Gals, who were witnesses of the proceed
ings, admitted that they thought at
least thirty per cent. of the whole vote
was illegal. Prominent military officers
in command were on the ground and
saw what was done, and countenanced
and protected the participators in the
outrage. This was but one of many,
very many instances, where such out
RACES were conmittrd, and it was by
means of them that Morton was elected.
The Senator will find it lard to obtain
listeners to his moral homilies, after
such reminder as that printed by the

All this testimony with that of my
own eyes, having lately passed through

that it is an anomaly Of trade, that with
this useful and inexhaustible product At
their beck and call, the Americans
should import bag, and not export tens

but Sumac is entirely one of tannin and
freedom from sand. This done there is
a certain remuneration for it in England

at the present moment are paying 12o

We have expressed our belief that the

Editors Of the Register:
Imported here from Sicily, in one day,

are daily occurrences and invite atten-

If it is not singular that american
Sumac does not come here from the

that such large quantities should 60

this article, as is we'll known, is in the
extent of "tannin" it contains, and its
freedom from sand, grit, or vegetable
fibre. Now before me lies dozen Ger
titled tests of both Sicilian and American
Sumac, and the average of these tests
prove, beyond any question of doubt,
that the American is 10 to 20 per cent
superior to any other the world pro
duces. Then why should she import !

LOCAL PAPERs.-The following re-
marks we find credited to Horace
Greeley. They are sensible enough to
have emanated from him or any other
man:
Nothing is more common than to
hear people talk of what they pay
newspapers for advertising; etc., as SO
much given in charity. Newspapers,
by enhancing the value of property In
their neighb0rhood and giving the 10.
calities in which they are published q
reputation abroad, benefit all such,
particularly if they are merchants OF
real estate owners, thrice the amount
yearly of the meagre sum they pay for
their support. Besides every public
spirited citizen has laudable pride in
having a paper of which he is not
ashamed. even though he should pick
It up in New York. A gOod-looking,
thriving sheet helps property, gives
character to the locality, and In many
respects is desirable public conven.
fence. If from any cause the matter
in the local or editorial columns should
not be your standard, do not cast II
aside and pronounce 1t good for moth
ing, until satisfied that there has been
no more labor bestowed upon 1t than
is paid for. II you want good read
able paper it must be supported: II
must not he supported in a spirit o.
charity either, but because you feel Il
necessity to support It. The loca
