therefore, require merchants to return Ill sales
which were omitted in last returns. Cotton raised
previous to January l. 1885, is taxed by the United
States and therefore will not be included in sales.

A Different Thing.

It is astonishing what difference it
makes whose OK is gored, in ones judgment
of the result. The editor of the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican has lately been
arrested in New York, at the instance of
Mr.. Erie Railroad Fish. It seems that it
was proceeding to mortify and punish
that editor for his free comments on the
Erie Railroad administration. Whatever
was the reason, however, the New York
Tribune grows terribly wroth ut it, and it
has kindled in its blood all the fiery memo
ries of Magma Charta, touching the sanctity
Of personal liberty. The editor thinks 1.-The
whole proceeding reads like the stories of
the famous lettre du cachet during the days
of the Bastile," and adds:
"The liberty of the citizen is as sacred
for an hour as for a lifetime; and the pro-
ceeding which caught up Mr.. Bowles from
the society of his friends, and swept him
into Jail without the opportunity of send
ing message to his sick wife, was brutal
and tyrannical.
Doesn't it require n front of brass to put
such excellent sentiments as these Ill Jour
nal that was as quiet as mouse when the
Stantons and Stewards, by the tinkling of
their little bells, made every fortress in the
North Bastile for the incarceration of poll
tical offenders-not ''for an hour" but for
months and years-without 'bail or main
price," or even the whisper of charge
against them? The New York Express
quotes the Tribu,e's excellent sentiments, -
and says:
"Amen to this! But how comes such q
sentiment in the Tribune? Simply because
New England friend of its own faith was
deprived of his liberty for night, on a
warrant from Mr.. Fisk, of the Erie Road
Neither the cause, the time. nor manner of
this arrest can we approve of; but when
men who were innocent of all offences
against citizens or the State, were thrust
into the wretched easements of Fort La
Fayette. dragged there by military orderlies
on military warrants, with no bail allowed,
we never knew the Tribune to show any
respect for that sacred liberty of the citi-
zen,' which now arouses its Indignation"
