ST. LOUIS, January 20.-Wendell
Phillips delivered his lecture on the
political situation at the Mercantile
Library hall tonight, to 3 very large
audience. Farther than to say that
he regarded the civil service reform as
at present contemplated as a magnif.
cent delusion; that he did not expect
to live to see one item of II put into
practice; that he had no more con6-
dence in that great soldier (meaning
Grant, than he had In other carpet
baggers who had gone South, and that
he believed that the nominee Of the
Republican party, who ever he may
be, will be elected president, he did
not touch upon upon ordinary p0liti-
cal affairs, but entered into philOsoph-
fcsl discussion of the relation Of wages
TO wealth, labor to capital, and the
great and growing power Of railroad
Corporations, cheap money, govern
Toent of great cities, trades unions,
internationals, etc. The lecture was
well received and many sentiments
expressed were heartily applauded.

THOSE WHISKY LAWS.

The enemies of Horace Maynard are
trying to make policical capital against
him on the ground that he was member
of Congress when the Whisky or Revenue
laws were enacted. These men try to make
capital out of this fact for Andrew john
son. But the truth is, johnson was Pres
ident when these laws passed Congress
and he approved them. Maynard labored
faithfully to modify these laws, and at last
succeeded, so far as to give our East Ten
nessee distillers far more privileges and
advantages than they ever had under the
lars approved by Johnson. If Maynard
is so obnoxious on account of these laws,
which he had changed so far as he posi-
bly, could to be favorable TO small
distillers and dealers, how much
more obnoxious should Andy johnson
be for. never attempting to modify them
or make them more favorable to his own
East Tennessee friends. The fact is, these
revenue laws were necessity to raise
money to pay off debt forced upon the
country by the rebellion for which the
Democracy are responsible. The laws in
flicted some hardships upon the people, as
all revenue laws do, but certainly the Re-
publicans are not responsible for doing
what Democratic rebellion made neces-
sary. 1t does not lie in the mouths of
Democrats to fuss about these whisky
laws, and especially it does not become
Andy Johnson men to talk about them,
for he is as much responsible for them as
Maynard or any one else. He also signed
the bill levying special tax of three cents
per pound on cotton-a law about which
the cotton planters of Middle and West
Tennessee complained very much.
