the experience possessed by those who
were removed
The committee furnish many addii
tional facts, showing that the frauds
upon the revenue were directly chargr
cable to these changes, made in the in.
terests of the democratic party. In
the matter of the revenue from whisky,
the committee find that in those dis
tricts where these changes were made,
the reduction of the tax was about
twenty per cent, while in those districts
where no changes were made, the
loss was only twelve per cent. eAnd
this decrease" /" says the Cincinnati Com
merciol, owas mainly chargeable to the
fact that illicit distillation was so sue
cessfully carried on under Mr. john
sons officers that distillers were com
PEELED to put a stop to operations
They could not pay even partial tax
and successfully compete with those
who put their productions on the mar
ket free of the burden of the tax. The
more honest the officer the less he col
lected, for manufacture was suspended,
and in some instances the stills remov-
ed to districts where the officers con-
nived at fraud and shared the spoils
with the illicit manufacturer"
The committee conclusively show that
this whole matter of revenue frauds,
whereby the honest taxpayer has been
cheated and swindled, is directly charg-
cable to the attempt of President john
son to resusitate the democratic party.
Thanks to an intelligent people, he did
not succeed in accomplishing the end
he songht, or else these frauds might
have continued indefinitely, He and
his gang will soon retire to private life.
Then may we look for different state
of things.

ginning to find out that Gen. Grant
can talk, and that he has very posi-
tive opinions upon almost every po-
litical question of the day. Else

cient for, every emergency that may

hundred and ten bills before Con-

1t will be prudent for Congress to

is reasonable to expect them to

DSP The times are hard-money
matters highland the democrats
would have US believe it is all the
result of Gen. GRANTS election. If
the President has the power to make
times prosperous-money easy--then
is the present stringency in business
matters chargeable to their side of
the house, and not to Gen. Grant
johnson, their tool, and the man
they so much admire, is still Presi-
dent. Gen. Grant is no more than
private citizen at present, and as
such has no more influence upon the
business interests of the country
than any other private citizen.
Gen. Grants friends promised that
his administration, not simply his
election, would give us peace, and
all the blessings of good govern
ment, and in so far as that influence
might be favorable, bring prosperity
to the country In regard to money
matters-whether they be easy or
light-we apprehend the President
has but little to do with it. Every
man, whose income exceeds his ex-
penditures, never finds money mat
ters tight. As with individuals, so
with communities, States and Ma
tions. Keep out of debt-produce
more than you consume-and times
will always be easy.
But the presenttightnessin money
matters is due mainly to the opera
tions of the gamblers in stocks, in
Wall street, New Yorl-men who
live by their wits, and not by their
hands-live by chicanery, deceit and
fraud. 1t would be glorious thing
for the country if the whole brood
could be put aboard ship, taken off
Sandy Hook, and there sunk to the
bottom of the sea. Wall street, and
President Johnson's administration,
are the two most corrupt ''institu-
tions" in the world. We wish we
were to be rid Of the former as soon
as we are of the latter. But, half a
loaf is better than none, and with
the riddance of the latter we may
look for a little more honesty and
economy there than has been mani
tested for the last few years.

The Columbus Journal advocates the
l.eonstruction Of r. r. from Lake Erie
to the Atlantic coast about Charleston,
s. c. or Savannah, Ga. Its idea is for
the trunk line Of the road TO pass
through the Kanawha valley, aud
emerging from the mountains at either
end, scatter. On the northern side il
advocates three branches to unite ON the
north sideof the Ohioriver and terminate
on Lake Erie, at Toledo, Sandusky aud
Cleveland. The Toledo branch it de
sires to pass through Columbus, the
Sandusky one, through Newark, and
the Cleveland one, perhaps through
Zapesville...
On the southern side no points are
named to which it is to branch except
as available estuaries, harhors, rivers,
DC.
The necessity for the road is that
the producers of Ohio may reach their
southern consumers without going
through the hands of middlemea in
the eastern or extreme southern cities,
and that the producers of'the south
may reach their northern consumers in
like manner. In other words having
found how to move freight Independent
of the natural highways, it behooves
the parties interested to consult their
own convenience and advantage and
construct the means for so doing.
We hope the Journal win be success
ful in pushing its enterprise through.
The Northern R. R. enterprise in which
our folks are engaged is part thereof.
Let them hurry it up, and when the
Journals is completed we will be on
the direct ronte from the South to the
East and consequently on great thor
oughfare.-Zonesville Courier.

It is well known by all of General

E The next census is to be taken
in 1870, and as that is only year off,
it will, it is thought, be incumbent on
the present Congress to make an ap-
preparation and enact such preliminary

ment counting negroes out unless they

EN The Richmond Wing, after
appealing to Congress and the North
ern people to do all in their power
to promote the restoration of good
feeling between the North and South,
says: "We have reason to know that
influences are to work in our highest
Virginia circles looking to this de-
sirable end. The best intellects and
the purest characters of this State
are now seriously devoting them
selves to the preparation and organ
ization of measures designed to end
strife, and to satisfy any rational de-
mand that can be made upon US. 1t
may be that there are a few among
US who prefer strife to peace, the
sword to the plowshare, decay to
prosperity, universal ruin to univer-
sal well being. IF such there be,
they will be harmless when all who
hold different views shall place them
selves before the country in solid
array"

Van Buren,, Polk, Pierce, and Buchanan en-
dured the same kind of criticism as Grant
now gets, and tenfold worse. That poured
out by the Wings on Jackson and the Repub
licans on Pierce was, in comparison with that
now visited on Grant, as vitriol to rose-water.
Nothing in the lives of those two Democratic
Presidents had immunity from newspaper
discussion and popular scrutiny. The asser-
tions of the opposition then were downright
falsehoods, and known to be such when ut
tered but in respect to Grant, the effort of
his friends is to shelter him from the truth.
We repeat that the Republican press cannot
prevent the masses of the people from scruti-
nizing and weighing the acts of commission
or omission by President Grant, public and
private, to the end of deciding whether he is
or is not discharging his public duties and
his social obligations, including the mainte-
nance of a proper dignity and tone of char
acter, as becomes the President of the United
States

reasonable hope that in overthrowing
the personal government of Napo-
leon,s the French would find amongst
themselves the necessary material for building
up something of their own. But unhappily
the prospect of this is very small; and the
immediate future will be mainly governed by
the same play of chance which seems to have
regulated all the affairs of France for the last
eighty years. Tomorrow perhaps some
second-rate barbouilleur will hit upon a happy
word-a lucky idea-and he will Immediately
become an important person. Frenchmen
have already hundreds OF names to push for

few members in the Left Centre. and very
few in the Left who can be considered as pre-
senting the elements required for the forma-
ton of a new government of substantial
character. And the age Of the greatest
part of these deputies is
already very advanced while the
rest of the chamber is composed of humble
servants of Imperialism, or of contemporary
celebrities perfectly fit to make up the flats
divers in a radical newspaper, or even to de-
liver witty speeches. but certainly not fit for
serious employment in civilized State. Just
seems inclined to devote its attention chiefly
to personal quarrels between its members;
and though the spectacle is certainly not a
pleasing or hopeful one, it may be Just as
well for France that it begins early. But bad
as the position must be, there must be a way
out of it. On future occasion we may ven

tageous direction of escape.

SPAIN AND CUBA.


From the NJ Y. Tribune.
The desperation of Spain. evidenced by
General Prims appearance in Paris, probably
in search of king, recurs to us text for
grieving. Every mall every days telegram
from Europe conveys the same monotone of
Spanish trouble and failure. The state of
the country is deplorable, writes one CORE
spondent from Madrid; robberies and muir
ders are frequent according to another. Ban
dts enter villages and kill their guards; the
high roads leading to Madrid have become
infested; the Carlists have reappeared at the
side of the robber; and now the cable brings
word that affairs could not be worse. since
the people are malcontent and the treasury is
empty. What bankruptcy means in this juno
ture may be calculated from the fact that the
admitted deficit of the Regency finances is
fifty millions of dollars over and above an
enormous debt
Here, then is the practical summing up of
Spanish vulnerability and weakness. The self
abnegation of Marshal Serrano in refusing the
100000 voted him by the Cortes is commend
able, if truly reported but it is only drop
in the bucket of the national poverty, and is
Ill accompanied by the heavy and wasteful ex-
penditure of his administration. The estimated
income of the Regency is less than $40, 600, 900
on paper, and its expenses 1857, 500, 900.
With these terms of bankruptcy the
Cuban finances sort wonderfully "There is
necessary for actual expenses, says the Cap
tain-General in our news of yesterday,
500, 800, 900; our returns will not amount to
more than $39,000,0 00O, so that there is a
confessed deficit Of SIG, 600, ,OOO at the back
of which are the demoralized and almost
calamitous finances of the Spanish Bank,
which counts a circulation of $50, 900. 600
against two millions and a half of specie and
other assets in the way of Government debt,
now worthless.
In other respects the situations in Spain
and Cuba compare Volunteers lately me-
naced Madrid as they have threatened Ha-
vana. Highwaymen in Cuba are avaling
themselves of general disorder to assassinate
and steal. On neither side of the battle have
rage and hate died out. The late seditious
disturbances among the negro soldiers in
Havana, the accommodation of General
Pueblo to evacuate Puerto Principe, and the
disheartened report of General Lesca, as
given in our news yesterday, all bear upon the
hopelessness of the Spanish cause, which it
would seem that nothing but an insane pride
of possession, or a mad fear of popular ven
9eance, can stimulate to eXtremer despera-
ton. Mexicans have some reason to say that
the bandits have made their country Spanish
Spain and Cuba may have cause in turn to
deplore that they are being Mexicanized.
With Spain it is now question of a king for
it has been always the fate of regencies to
fail. Some illusion must be set up for the
qualification of a fevered and miserable peo-
pie With Cuba it is a question of time.
How long will Spain waste her money upon
ruin, and wreck her pride upon a shadow?

BORROWING TROUBLE.

-
81, very learned but rather nervous man, by
the name of Nautilus, once wrote a book
to show that, at the rate the population of the
world was multiplying, we should soon be
obnged to eat each other for the want of
something better to eat: that the world could
not produce food enough to support it's in
habltants. People, however, became reas-
sured somehow upon that subject and did not
discontinue their old habit of multiplying and
replenlshlng the earth. So, not long ago. it
was apprehended that at no distant time we
should be completely deuged by the pauper
population of Ireland, and our country rem
dered lntolerable as a residence for nice peo-
pie. just as we were getting to regard that
ROAD 10 rum as pretty long one our nerves
are tried with the menaced inundation of the
country by the refuse population of China.
IL may be comfort to those who are dis
turDed by these apprehensions, and whose
1alth IN the Divine government has become
unsettled, to know that the laws of emipra
ton are very much like the laws which regu-
late any other kind of commerce, and that
the demand and the supply of labor will
always bear certain and regular proportion
to each other. Evidence of this pertinent to
our present purpose is just presented by the
English Commissioners of Emigration in
their report for the year 1868. They repre-
sent that the relative emigration from the
off, while its apparent magnitude has only
been kept up by the hordes of foreigners.
Germans, Danes, Swedes, ETC., who land at
Hull, and proceed by railroad to Liverpool
on their way to America. The Irish emigra-
ton, they state, has fallen from 1851 in
1868 to 64,9G5 in 1868, or nearly fifty per
cent The decrease the commissioners repre-
sent to be due, and no doubt correctly. to
the gradually improving material condition of
the people of Ireland. Emigration has rid
the country of many unproductive consumers;
1t has reduced to a considerable extent
the competition for labor by reducing
the amount of it, while a more bene-
fcent system of home legislation has
tended otherwise to render their country more
attractive to them. SO we see that the most
pronounced tendency to migration that was
ever known, that which has prevailed in Ire
land for some years. is subject to the same
general laws as every other kind of COM
merce, and is gradually curing itself May
we not expect that the emigration from China
| will be just as submissive to the same great
laws, and that by the time we have enough of
them, they, like the Irish, will have had
enough of us?
