HE COMMISSIONER of Internal Revenue,
Hon. Columbus Delano, during his stumping
tour in this State, has made some gratifying
statements in regard to the marked improve
ments in the method of collecting the re-
venue which have been established by the
present administration. He alleges that dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80, 1868, the
wnoie amount OF whisky on which duty was
paia was only 4,6O9,6 ,646 gallons, and no other
portion OF the yearly product (Which is esti-
mated at lOO,Oo0,0OO gallons) was accounted
for except 1927, 101 gallons exported from
the bonded warehouses. During the fiscal
year ending on the Both of June, 1869, the
tax was collected on 62,OO9, 1881 gallons of
whisky, making net increase of revenue ON
this single article, Notwithstanding the re-
duction of the rate of taxation from two dol

| Pennsylvania in expounding their laws, as
member of their highest Judicial tribunal.
| The Democracy, in nominating Q. Il. Persh-
ing, an obscure country lawyer, perpetrated a
terrible blunder, which the voters should not
| be slow to correct at the polls. 1t is matter
of vital importance to have men of the
highest ability in the State Court of last re-
sort. Many questions which, directly or indi-
rectly, deeply affect every citizen, como be-
fore that body for ultimate decision, and in
the midst of the folly and reclklessness which
prevail elsewhere, and especially in the
Legislature, it is absolutely necessary that our
foolish laws should be wisely interpreted.
Judge Williams has enjoyed superior train
ing for this position through an extensive
practice at the Pittsburg bar long service as
Judge of the District Court of Allegheny
county, and also considerable experience Oh
the Supreme Bench His abilities are ac-
knowledged by his political foes as well as his
partisan friends, and there is scarcely
a single man in the Commonwealth
better fitted by antecedents and mental char
acteristics to adorn his present position than
himself. When he was candidate before
he was defeated by small majority by Judge
Sharswood, the strongest and ablest man the
Democracy could put in the field, and this
result was due in a large degree to the Repub-
lican votes cast in Philadelphia for the Demo-
cratic candidate at that time, on account of
his well-known abilities as a lawyer and
judge. In Allegheny county, where Judge
Williams was then best known, he enjoyed
the public confidence to an equal or even
superior degree, and now that his acquire
ments are well understood throughout the
State, his election may be anticipated with
great confidence 1t is difficult to explain the
nomination of an obscure lawyer like PERISH
ing as his antagonist, in any other way than
by the supposition that the Democratic lead
ers felt that it was scarcely worth while to
damage the reputation of one of their attor-
neys or judges of acknowledged legal ability
by nominating him as o candidate in what
they felt would be hopeless contest. But
whatever may have been their motives, the
people should certainly take very good care
to avoid the calamity of the election of
fifth-rate lawyer to the Supreme Bench.

TERRITORIAL CONSULTATIONS.

TERRITORIAL CONSOLLDA7IONS.
AT the recent banquet of the Peace
Congress- in Switzerland, Victor Hugo
toasted the United States, and said
that 'he felt sure that, in initiating the
example of America, Europe would eventu-
ally become a federative republic" This is
grand and startling idea, and though it is
advanced now only by writer of romance,
it may hereafter claim the grave attention of
statesmen and of the most solemn delibera
tive bodies. In our own time two great terri
torial consultations have occurred in Europe,
which would have been deemed utterly
impossible a generation ago. The
creation of united Italy and
of the new Germanic Confederation marks
the spirit as well as the progress of the age
The telegraph and the railroad are great de-
stroyers of ancient prejudices, and the
facilities now afforded for commingling the
populations of different nations, not merely
during holiday tours, but at great interna-
tional industrial expositions like those held in
France and England, go far to convince men
that the whole world is kin, and that the old
idea that people who spoke different Ian
guage from your own or who resided on the
other side of boundary line, were natural
enemies, was relic of barbarism John Bull
is gradually discovering that Johnny Crapeau
is not necessarily and inevitably deadly
enemy, and even Germans and Frenchmen
can consort together without feeling an ire
sistible impulse to cut each others throats.
During the late war in this country, John
Rriuht in conbatiny tha rrava1aDt 6acira Of
British politicians to promote the disruption
of the United States, took the broad ground
that the welfare of all mankind would be ad-
vanced by the reduction of the number of
national governments instead of their increase,
and that this doctrine could be advantage
ously applied to Europe as we'll as America.
He thus foreshadowed, in part, Victor Hugo's
sentiment; and though he said nothing of
great European republic, it is difficult to
understand how the diverse continental ma
tions can be peacefully, permanently, and
advantageously combined except upon the
great republican system. Powerful warriors
may temporarily establish an empire upon
the ruins of broken thrones, but they cannot
firmly weld together the entire continent on
any other principle than the rule of the peo-
pie for the people, which has proved SO effica-
cious here.
While Hugo is predicting future great
republic in Europe, events are ripening for
the peaceable extension of the sway of our
own Government over all the outlying regions
to the north and south 1t is folly to seek
aggrandizement by war, excessive expendi-
lures, or tortuous diplomatic policy; but
if we simply govern ourselves well and wisely.

There was n great excitement among

last Saturday. Instigated, by the incen-
diary harangties; of one Combash, CO.
lcred man, they assembled to the num-
Der OF 400 or 500 in the vicinity of Min
ter's store, on the Tallahatcliie River.
After going to- the store and making
threats, and cursing out the whites gene
rally, Colonel Minter made them little
speech for the purpose of pacifying them,
but be was met with yells and abuse.
They threatened to burn the store and
dwellings, Of the whites in that vicinity.
When the whites by words could not pa
cifythem, they tried the effect of powder
and lead, which dispersed them in few
rounds, The freedmen, to the number
of 500 and upwafds, were, Mt the latest
dates, encamped in some old fields on

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE IN FAVOR
OF FAOSTETTER's STOMACH BITTERS.
W. II. Reese, a leading druggist in Month
cello, ILL.,, in a'letter Of June 6, 1868, writos to
this effect: Having sold Hostetter's Bitters
for the past four years, I cannot but speak Of
the article as being tho best tonic and appe-
!,zer extant. During the ague season of 1866,
could not keep sufficient stock Oh hand to
supply my customers. In fact. your Bittets
was as stdjh'e as qui,aine. learn that physi-
clans prescribe it all over the Western coun-
try. Indeed, great many families hinkthey
are not @ sdte without your invaluable tonic"
April Is 1865 t&at he has used qheef the Btters
constantly in his own family for the previous
sw8 years ae hsst tried the when
we're attack OF fever. Before the 6rst bottle
was tnished he experienced a remarkable
change for the better. He had tried brandy
harm than good. In one month from the time
he commenced using the Bitters his health,
strength and appetite were restored He had
recommended the article to others in like cir
had found it a perfect specific for chills and
fever.
Mr.. Samuel Young, of Clarion, Pa, under
date April 6, 1865, certiaes that. he was COM
pieteiy cured OF "one of the most distressing &
attacks OF dyspepsia that ever afflicted any
mortal" by throe bottles OF the Bitters, after
various other remedies had proved power
"that excellent preparation for the result"

always made to every unselfsh and pub

pie we address ourselves.
The founders of the South Carolina
Military Institute in one respect we're
wise. Z Always willing to promote COM
mon 'schools where practicable, and
having done more to promote fudiment-
ary education than is generally known,
our forefathers also understood tho great
truth that "knowledge descends," that
it is from the highly educated that in
educated that social progress is ad-
vanced. A Brewster, q Faraday, m
Agassiz, q Newton, a Butler, are worth
more to even the material interests of
society than the thousand smatterers
We can only allude to the principle; the
reader scan follow it out for himself.
The education of those who promise.
from social position, to be powerful for
good or evil in their respective neighbor-
hoodsrto very high degree is, then, q
clear duty, and is the most certain
meth I'd of spreading liberal thought
throughout the entire mass OF society.
Let us Have an institution, therefore, de-
voted 'tthis purpose, and under the
CONTROL Of persons commanding the con-
fidence of the white people of the State

service in. the Atlantic, she is about to
show herself in that part of the Indian
Ocean known as the Arabian Sea. At
last accounts, the Great Eastern was
slowing away forty miles daily of the
cable soon to be laid between Alden and
Bombay, o distance of 1900 miles, more
or less. Alden has fine harbor, and is
very important point, though for many
years 1t has been only coaling station
