REVENUE EXTORTION.

One of the methods by which the de-
faulting United States Revenue Collector
Bailey so successfully managed to hide
the yillainies which he carried on for
months at New York was the practice of
harrassing honest merchants and manu-
facturers by Selling their establishments
and books. It was a simple and easy
process. 1t cost him nothing, says the
81. Louis Republican, and gave him
high reputation for vigilance and eff
cheney, and, at the same time, cloaked his
own rascalities. 1t was not discovered
till after his flight that the measures he
adopted, apparently to prevent taxpayers
from defrauding the Government, were
really part of the scheme he had de-
vised for defrauding the Government
himself. The patriotic zeal he affected
for his country's financial interests was,
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1870-03-31

intact zeal for bis ewn iiuances. The
law gaze Inn an inlsaense and arbitrary
power, and be used i without mercy and
without justice Since his departure, the
seizures he made have been investigated,
and found to be causeless The parties,
therefore, have been released and per-
nlitted to continue their business. But
these victims of the dishonest revenue
official have no redress for the wanton
wrongs done them. They must endure
the losses caused by the violent Interrupt
ton and suspension of business, and by
thestigma Of fraud involved in the seizure,
without murmur, for the law affords
them no substantial remedy.
And this spirit of extortion runs
through the whole internal revenue sys-
tenn devised by the ruling party in Con-
gress. The honest taxpayer is a helpless
victim in the hands of every dishonest
official who may propose to extort money
from him. The fraudulent dealer knows
how to manage him; if he cannot evade
him he brides him, and finds difficult
places made smooth before him. But the
honorable citizen, who viii neither de-
fraud tbs government nor bride its dis
honest officials, may be harassed and in
jured at any time, by wanton seizures and
charges which harsh and complicated
law empowers the official to make, and
which this New York collector was in the
constant habit Of making as part of his
system of fraud. The victim may appeal
to Commissioner Delano or Secretary
Boutwell,, it is true; but the commissioner
and the Secretary take much time in in
vestigating the case, and even then their
decisions fail to give justice and satisfac-
ton.
The whole tendency of our revenuesys-
TEN seems to be TO belittle the people and
aggrandize the Government-to arm the
Governments officials with arbitrary pow
ers, and place individuals at their mercy
to extort unneeded amounts of money
from the people for the purpose of ena-
bling the Secretary of the Treasury to af-
ford to Europe a demonstrative and i'm
pressive exhibition of the Governments
wealth and power. That the system is
pernicious and productive of infinite evils
is evident from the endless official frauds
connected with the flight Of the offenders,
that the press is continually announcing.
The people of this country will cheerfully
pay to the Government all the revenue it
needs for its honest and legitimate pur-
poses, and they haze paid this needed
revenue, together with an immense sur
plus besides, with generosity that scarce
ly has a parallel; but to be harrassed and
oppressed by summary and inquisitorial
processes at the will of officers who are
themselves engaged in defrauding the
Government, is too much to ask of them,
and more than they will always patiently
submit to.

A RADICAL VIEW OF TENNESSEE
AFFAIRS.


Now and then we meet up with Rad
ical journal that takes a correct view of
the effort of few Radical malcon;ents to
have this State reconstructed for their
especial benefit. Among such papers is
the Chicago Journal, one of the most rad
ical among Radicals That paper enter
tains just appreciation of the Red Re-
publicans in their crusade against the
State government in Tennessee. Itrecog-
Misses the fact that the men engaged in
this movement are supremacy selfish, and
that to accomplish their purpose, they
have resorted to misrepresentation and the
widest exaggeration. In its issue of
March %, the Journal has an article de-
voted to affairs in Tennessee, which we
give entire, as follows:
f'This State, which began its notoriety
with Andrew Jackson and tapered off
with Andrew johnson, has passed en-
tirely out from under the Teconstructive
control of Congress, yet some of its Rep
resentatives in Congress, and State Of
ficials, are nov importuning the national
legislature to again interfere in the adj
ministrati0n of justice in that common
wealth. Affairs there might get SO fright
fully bad that under the provision of the
constitution requiring Congress to see that
each State has a republican form of gov
eminent, interference would be necessary,
but Tennessee has, as yet, reached no
such crisis.
"The evident intention of the constitu-
tional clause referred to was, and is, to
prevent the establishment of monarchy,
primogeniture, or any other system or law
clearly incompatible with republican in
situations. Nothing but a great emergency
should induce Congress to establish the
precedent of meddling with State affairs
To the unthinlling, the proposed action in
the case of Tennessee would be in keep
ing with the reconstruction policy of Con-
gress, but the cases are fundamentally diff
ferent. During the rebellion Tennessee
formally withdrew from the Union, for
feiting every State right. Until her re-
admission she stood self disrobed of them
ALL But the moment Congress restored
her she was placed on an absolute equality
with the other States. If Congress suffers
itself to be led away by Gen. Butler and
the extreme Radicals who are FESTIVE
under Conservative rule, no State will be
safe Should the party in power at
Washington, at any time, be antagonistic |
to the one in authority in any State, the !
result mig1t be Federal Intervention. 1t !
is always hazardous to establish bad
precedent, and in this case it might lead
to the unsettling of the very foundation
stones of our Union. Even were the
representations of Fletcher fair and truth
full, Congress would not be authorized to
take the course he urges. If there are
Ku-Klux outrages, let the Governor bestir
himself and quell them. If he cannot do

Il through the State militia, let him do as
Gov. Holden, of North Carolina. did, call
upon the general Government fer troops.
'sThe truth is, that a faction of the Re
publican party catered to the Democracy
in the last campaign, hoping to win from
the opposition votes enough TO triumph
over the Radicals. The Senter faction in
tended to enact the part of the whale IN
the comedy of Jonah, swallowing the
prophet only to spew him out in few
days; but they found the order reversed,
and ssthe Senter wing" cast in The Tote of
Jonah, with this difference, that the con-
servative whale still keeps down its prey.
This mar, Fletcher, originated the term
cdrzctbdqger, and did all he could to TO
ment the feeling against Northern immi-
grants, and nov he appeals to Congress to
quiet the storm he helped to raise 1t is
too late. The reins of power were IN
Republican hands. year ago, and
might have remained so indefinitely
but personal ambition aud factional
greed oyerbore all other considera-
tions. Congressman Stokes was the
choice of the party for Governor, but
Senter resolved to hold onto the office at
all hazards. His Nashville organ made
more than one abusive assault upon The
Journal for pointing out in advance the
very results that have actually followed
| that division in the Republican ranks,
protesting that the movement would prove
strengthening to the party and beneficial
| to the State. 1t now makes piteous moan
over the political situation. For our own
part we are only surprised that affairs
| there are no worse. The new State Con-
| stitution is more moderate than there was
reason to fear it would be. The Conser-
vatives had everything their own way, but
they did not make many important
| changes. The new Constitution was
voted upon Saturday. County officers
were also elected. We hear of no
disturbances at the polls anywhere. This,
of itself, is the best of testimony against
the interference policy"
The Journal makes telling point
against the Red Republican revolutionists
in its reference to the peaceable election
which was held on Saturday last. There
never has been more quiet election held
in the State, and every man who desired
to do SO went to the polls and voted. II
this State is given over TO strife and ali
archy, as these malcontents contend, how
is it that we do not hear of the slightest
disturbance in any part of State at the
late election? White and black, Radical
and anti-Radical, alike, went to the polls
and voted as they pleased, and their right to
do so was not questioned. Could this have
occurred if we had been in the democrat
lied condition which the reconstruction
lists represent us as occupyinga

THE best FROM VASEfINTON--A
WITNESS WHO WAS NOT EXA-
MINED BY THE RECONSTRUC-
TION COuMFFTEE

WITNESS WHO WAS MOI EAA-
MINED BY THE RECONSTRUC-
TION COMMITTEE.
A certain ex-military friend of ours
who was one of the delegates to Wash
ington sent on to endeavor to prevent the
Reconstruction of Tennessee, having been
told that he would be summoned before
the Committee, and having been informed
of the probable questions to beput to him
by Ben. Butler, prepared Statement
from which we select the following quesl
tions and answers:
Ben Butler-What do the Southern
States think of Reconstruction generally
AnSWer-Well in some of the States
they are very much TerTy-fied; while in
Mississippi the Republican party ReUeIs
in the accomplishment of its aims. The
blacks in that State evidently intend to
abandon the culture of cotton, having
been so successful in raising AU-c0Tn.
Ben Batler-What do you think in
Tennesseeof the proposition to reconstruct
that State
AnsWer-Welooku upon the proposition
as great Pot0der-Shi0, which, when it
explodes, will have made great noise
but win not have effected anything.
Ben BlstJeT-Are not the Southern
people still rebellious, naughty, and given
to luxurious habits
AaS,Oer-They have ceased to rebel,
and are moderately humble. If they are
fond of luxurious living, but few of them
can crafty their taste in that direction at
present Before the war they had every
luxury and servants in abundance-cooks,
grooms, seamstresses and buffers. During
the war their servants deserted them; the
grooms, in many instances, rode off on
their masters horses, the. seamstresses ap-
propriated their mistresses' dresses, g0Iiile
the butler ran array Nth the spoons.
1t is needless to add that this intended
testimony having reached the ear of the
Chairman of the Committee on Recon-
struction, our friend was not examined.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

Mr.. Justice Strong announced his first
decision to-day in the Supreme Court. 1t
was on case coming up from Virginia,
where an action for ejectment was brought
by the heirs of man who served in the
Confederate army, and whose land was
seized and sold under the confscation act
Of July, 1862. The court held that the
title could pass only for the life time Of
the person who owned the land ard,
therefore, his heir must now come into
possession. This decision is Of great i'm
poriance in all border States as well as in
the District of Columbia, and shows that
these confscated titles are merely good
for the life time of the person for whose
offense they were confiscatcd. The Chief
Justice dissented from the opinion.
