THE IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.

The question ofsupplying tho South
crn country with white population has
occupied tho minds OF all interested in
her welfare ever since the abolition of
slavery. So far, however, nothing
practical has resulted from any efforts
at its solution. In this State We have
been especially unfortunate. The we'll
organized system established by the Leg.
islaturo of 1865, under the efficient man
agcnicnt of General John A. WAGNER,
was completely upset, and all the pro-
gress it had already made rendered nu-
gatory by its change Of government,
and the efforts Of individuals and private
societies have been restricted for want
Of means to very narrow compass.
At last, no yevcr, VIC have brighter
prospect. a convention is to be held
in Charleston on the third of next month
for the purpose Of dcvsing means to
bring about the all to be desired inaax
Of population from abroad. The class
Of gentlemen whose names are announc.
cd from tho various districts of the
State as delegates to the convention,
and tho enlightened views in regard to
this subject generally, which have re-
Gently beon promulgated through the
public prints, lead us to believe that
this convention must result in great
practical good, and that the era of
white immigration to the South is about
to.daws.

THE wHIsKEYTRADE.

The production OF Whiskey in
the United States has grown to
enormous proportions during the
las. ten ears. 2 A very consider
able proportion of this growth is
due TO the extreme duties levied
upon foreign spirits, the consump-
ton of which has thereby been, to
a great extent, supers eded by ma
tive Whiskey. During he late
war, and for three or four years
subsequently,, there was an i'm
mense traffic in Whiskey of illicit
Observation-Disclosures is, an article
which was secretly distilled, and
smuggled into the market, often
with the connivance of corrupt tax
collectors, without paying the ex-
else. This "contraband' trade
had SO depressing an effect upon
the legitimate branch Of the bust
ness, that many honest distillers
were forced to suspend operations.
During the last two years, how
ever. illicit distillation has been al
most wholly suppressed, through
greater honesty and fidelity Of the
officials of the Revenue Depart
ment, and better system of col
lection, thus enabling honest dis
tlllers to thrive again. But latter
ly, the price OF new whiskey has
ruled so low-about As @ so cents
per gallon above the tax-and the
price Of Corn so high, that the
production in the West, whence
comes the great bulk of supplies,
has been considerably curta lie d.
Some idea Of the extent of this
curtailment maybe formed from the
fact that the product of Ken tue ky,
one of the leading distilling dis
tricts of the country, and famed
for its cold Burbon,' during the
past seven months, was only 1922,
06l proof gallons-a decrease of
3,126, 554 proof gallons from the
quantity produced during the cor
respon ding period last year
The prospect of substantial re-
action from the present low price
Of the article is not regarded by
the best informed of the Trade as
being encouraging, for the reason
that the stock in the country is
comparatively large, while the
basis Of common Whiskey, the
corn crop, promises to be among
the largest the country has ever
yielded Under these circumstan-
ces, the heaviest dealers are APP
prehensive Of a continued over
supply, and a consequent low rul-
ing of prices. The stock of the
finer grades, or old Whiskey, is
understood not to be excessive.
