REDUCTION OF TAXATIoN.-The new
tariff and internal revenue laws passed at
the last session of Congress went into eff
feet yesterday. with the exception of a few
sections, which will not become laws, as
therein provided, until the first of October.
After yesterday the tax on distilled spirits
will be 70 cents, instead of 80 cents per gal
Ion. The special and barrel tax heretofore
imposed on distllers is abolished after Au-
gust LIST.
The number of supervisors is reduced
from twenty-five to ten, those legislated out
of Office having already been published.
The new law also dispenses with moities
to informers, but in lieu thereof 800, 900
was appropriated to be expended by the
Secretary of the Treasury and Commission
er of Internal Revenue, in particular cases.
The new fermentcd liquor law also took
effect yesterday. The section repeating the

Timothy Sod vs.. Wheat stubble.

Which is the best to plant after? Judg-
ing by this field of corn, potatoes, and beans,
we say wheat stubble. Along its entire
length runs strip three rods wide which
bore wheat last year; the remainder was
timothy meadow for two years past. The
crops on the wheat stubble are not only
more uniform, but of better color and much
larger growth than those on the timothy sod.
In fact, no crop is much more exhaustive
of the soil than timothy when mown for
grass, and we are of the opinion that the
grain farmer should not introduce it in his
system. Glover should take its place, and
his timothy meadow should be field sell
dom devoted to other crops. Timothy does
not affect the soil like clover its roots are
fbrous and grow in the top soil, and the
plant is one of the class which derives its
food more from the soil than the air. 1t
does not renovate but exhausts the land ;
it does not transfer the mineral strength oil
the subsoil to the surface, but feeds on that
already in the top soil. -..s
The farmer who seeds his land to timo-
thy, mows it two or three years. and plows
for other crops, expecting to find his soil
richer than when he seeded it, has not
mastered the elementary principles of his
occupation. Instead of resting and recupera.
ting, his land has been giving up its most
valuable parts; its mechanical condition has
undergone no beneficial change, and SO fai
as systematic or rational change of crops j:
concerned, he might as well have grown
grain crops. Without liberal manuring II
is seldom that good crop of grain imme-
diately follows timothy meadow.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.-W have
received an invitation to attend an impor-
tant meeting at Wyliesburg, Charlotte
county, Va, on the 9TH inst, which we
shall endeavor to accept. The object of the
gathering is to make known the advantages of
the Alden system of fruit preserving. In the
western states, where the process has been
successfully introduced, manufacturing in
dustry has been largely promoted, and
lands have in some instances advanced from
$40 to 500 per acre. The importance of
securing these results for Virginia cannot
be over-estimated. The Hon. Judge Dick
inson is expected to preside, and other in
huential gentlemen will be present.

ARREST OF TWO HoRsE-THIEvEs.-
Two supposed horse-thieves were arrested
at the horse-market this morning, each
with horse in his possession. One of the
horses was recognized as belonging to
Messrs. Hunt & Roberts, millers, near
Alexandra, from whom he was stolen
about one week ago. We are not informed
as to the ownership of the other animal,
but description it is in the possession
of the detectives Dan Wren, of the city
detective force, made the arrests. The men
were taken to the First Police station
house and locked up. They will have an
examination on Monday morning. The
horses were placed in a livery stable to
await the coming of their owners.

Another Item for Reformers.

Corruption never lessons the burdens of
people it always increases them. In
every branch of the government, where
honesty and economy could effect a reduc-
ton of expenses, a reduction has taken
place. We call attention to the customs re-
venue branch, our leading source Of rcve-
nue.. We give the official report of one
year under Buchanan, one under johnson,
and two under Grant. 1t will be seen that
the percentage of cost is much less under
General Grants administration than under
the others named: "

The fact is it has cost less to collect the
revenue under the present Administration
than under any other A administration since
the days of Jackson. We want no better
proof of official integrity. When our ''Libe-
ral' friends offer some substantial reasons
why the Administration should be changed
the people may listen to them. But the
cry of ''corruption," without showing in
what it consists, is as idle as the wind.
Our party presents facts our opponents
deal in assertions. Their whole stock in
trade consists of exploded charges. Horace
Greeley knows that official honesty has
been the rule, not the exception, in our
party. He so expressed himself as late as
September, 1871. Now that he has sold
himself to the Democrats, he has fallen in
to their habit of crying "Stop thiefv' in
order to blind the public to the real thief
that is flying from justice.
