WE have commented at some length
on the financial sagacity displayed by
the Democratic Council of this city
in contracting for Water Works, open
ing streets, &c. 1t seems, from an
article which we copy this morning
from the Indianapolis Journal that
the same kind of sagacity has been pre-
viously displayed by that party in the
management of State finances, and is
likely to be again, in Ease the people
hand over the management of their
affairs to that party. We commend
the Journal article to our readers,
that they may see how truly the mu-
nicipal authorities of Evansville, dur
ing the present year, represent the
Democratic State authorities of some
twelve years ago.

The Oranpa Riot

A New York special has this &C
count of the Battle of the Boyne "
riot in Elm Park on Tuesday:
There was a terrible riot in Elm
Park this afternoon. A large num-
Der of Orangemen were celebrating
the battle of the Boyne, and as thew
passed through Sixty-four-a and a-haIf
Street, their band played THE Pro-
testant Boy" which seemed to cause
a dispute amongst a number of Irish
laborers, which eliminated In a fight
between two or three of their num-
Der, and which was the main cause of
their attack on the Orangemep.
A little before q o'clock the nro.
cession arrived at the park. Numbers
of women and children Continued To
flow into the ground. and soon a large
assemblage had collected. Aho1t
three O'Clock a large force of laborers
were seen to approach the park, and.
on arriving within throwing distance.
commenced hurting large stones at
those within. As they approached,
Inc men, and many of the women In
the PARK, shouted: ITO hell with the
fopeI A scene of the widest ex-
cltement, confusion and ghastliness
ensued. Most if not all the Orange
men had pistols, as had also some of
the attacking party, and in ten min
ties. q less than 100 shots were fred.
The hight continued fastand furious
at different places for about an hour,
during which the laborers, now about
three hundred in number, had two
cart-loads of wheel-spokas brought to
them, to be used as clubs, which were
applied most vigorously to any unfor.
tunate Orange skull which came with
in their reach. Women and children
shrieked and tainted. Men were shot
through the head, or had their heads
mashed to a jelly. On the hill, from
Eighty.fourth to Eighty-seventh
street, gangs Of laborers were ranged,
ana on seeing a car, the passengers in
Whlcn might chance to have an or
ange DOW or ribbon, they would hurl
stones at them through the windows
weighing from five to fifteen nnunds
demollshlng windows and msiming
men; women and children indiscr;mi=
nately.
Many women with children in +bo;-
arms were tearfully cut and brn;uo5Ii
and many of the regular -passenSou,
on the road narrowly escaped witb
their lives. Four of the Eighth ave-
nue. cars were rather badly demolish.
ed. The platforms of many of the
other cars were covered with blood.
As o o as the telegraph had con-
veyed the news of the riot to the DO
lice headquarters a large force of po-
licemen, held in readiness for the oc-
c~asion. were hurried to the scene,
and after no small exertiOn succeeded
In quelling the riot. The number of
casualties is not known. Six dead
r1d rt lease dtty wounded.

WASHINGTON, June %, 1870.

WASHINGTON, June %, 1870.
G.. A. Finkelnburg, M. c., House of
Representatives, Washington, d. c.
SIR:-I reply to yours of the 9th
instant, that the extract taken from a
newspaper, which you enclose, In re-
lation to the liabilities of manufactur-
ers of wine, is In accordance with the
rulings of this Office upon the ques-
ton at the present time.
The only exemption afforded manu-
faeturers of wine from payment OF
special tax, under the laws of interna.
revenue, is contained In section 81,
act June 30, 1864. as amended by Sec
ton 9, act July ID, 1866. The terms
of said section are as follows: THAT
nothing contained In the preceding
sections of this act shall be construed
to impose a special tax upon winners
who sell wine of their o10n gro11th at
the place where the same is made"
It was held by my predecessors in
Office that the terms of this section
applied only to the sale of wine by
winners, but ia my opinion it was the
intention of Congress to exempt per-
sons from tax as manufacturers with
respect to the manufacture Of wine
from grapes, berries, fruits, etc., OF
their own growth, as we'll as to ex-
empt them from special tax for the
sale Of such vine " at the place where
the same is made"
The Commissioner does not seem to
be authorized under the law DOW in
force to allow any further exemptions
from tax in this respect.
The rule of the Office, therefore, is
as follows: Manufacturers of wine
from grapes, berries, or fruits of their
own growth, are not liable 70 special
tax as manufacturers, or as liquor
dealers for selling such wine at the
place where the same was made.
Where such wines are sold, therefore,
at any other than the place of manu-
facture, liability to the payment of
tax as liquor dealer is incurred; and
where wines are manufactured from
grapes, berries, or fruits not of their
oWn growth, they should pay special
tax as manufacturers and as liquor
dealers for selling their products,
whether selling the same at the place
of manufacture or otherwise.
j. W. DOUGLASS,
+ Acting Commissioner.
DEALERS NOT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE
SALES OF PEDDLERs ACTUALLY IN
THEIR EMPLOY IN THE ESTIMATE
OF THEIR LIABILITY AS DEALERS.
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
G. T. Gridley, Esq Assessor, Jackson
Sir: Sheldon & Tanning, of AL,
bion, Michigan, write under the date
af the 31st ult. to this Office, and state
that they are wholesale dealers and
peddlers, and inquire if, having paid
special tax for each person employed
by them as peddlers, they should be
required to include those sales made
for them by such peddlers in the esti.
mate of their liabilities as dealers.
They have been referred to you,
and you are therefore advised that ii
the peddlers alluded to are actually
in the employ of Messrs. Sheldon &
Tanning, the sales made by such ped
dlers should not be included in their
estimate of liability as dealers, not
withstanding a previous rule to the
contrary. If. however, then sell
goods to the peddlers, such sales
should be included in their return as
dealers.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. !, 1869.
In March, 1866, the Boston physicians
gave mp my case, saying that my left lung
was nearly gone. Ny cough. e~xpectora-
iOus and night sweaIs were great. l could
not sit up or use my arms, and besides
this, 1 suffered from piles and extreme fe-
male weakness. While I was thus looking
straight down into the grave 1 procured
DR.. Banning's lung brace, at the urgent
request of enc who had been raised from
a similar condition by is use. The result
was instant relief, and my health is now
perfect in every respect.
Yours gratefully, NJ. L. BEMIS.

shreWd FiuancierIng.

We alluded, yesterday, to n or
two manifestations of shrewdness on
the part of the Water Works Com
misEee in the transaction Of the city's
business. We now propose to direct
attention to another feature which
vas developed by the record we pub
lishsd the other day.
TIE FIRST move on the part of the
new Council in this matter was the
nppoiutmsnt of a Committee on Water
Works. Next, this Committee rec
omuoDded that an election be held,
to detes nine whether Water Works
Oh she Houy Plan" should be erected.
Alser t6e people decided in favor of
Wasar Il orks on the Holly Plan, We
6Dd lae Council gravely appointing a
committee to visit other cities and
exam5r.e the practical operation of
tL5 I1j system" Ordinarily COM
moa ss } men would first have ex-
anj1e3 alto the practical operation
ofthe system before ordering an cleo
ton, Da. not so with our shrewd
fssneie-s They first order the cleo
tiou. and after the people have de-
oided ia favor of the Holly system,
they then conclude to examine into its
merits. Well, the Committee was
appointed, and visited Covington,
Cincinnati and Dayton, and reported
as the result of their Investigations,
that they lad concluded to recommend
the Holly system Of Water Works as
the surest method of supplying Ev-
ansYille with pure water. This farce
cost the city between three and four
hundred dollars. The idea of a Com
mittos recommending a system of
Water Works three weeks after the
people had voted in favor of hat sys-
TEN, presents, as Squeers would say,
magnificent morsel of richness"
The contracting for the Water
Works before a dollar has been pro-
vidsd to pay for the same, is a similar
manifestation of shrewd inanciering.
First spend the money. and then get
it, asa business transaction, is not
particularly worthy of admiration.
