THE SUMNER COUNTY WHISKY

Sunday morning last we made some
editorial structures on revenue raids
as conducted in this latitude Our
remarks were prefaced by a dispatch
from Washington, based upon facts
furnished by Supervisor Cobb, as pub
lished in the NcD York Tribune, in
which it was distinctly stated that
warrants lciH be issued for the arrest
of the distillers. Deputy Collector
Marshall claims that the dispatch was
erroneous in this particular, and gives
Ills the following version of the circum-
stance:
Warrants were sworn out for the
arrest of the Bloodworths on Dec. l,
1873, before James Trimble, United
States Commissioner. The warrants
were in the hands Of M. Y. Saunders,
United States Deputy Marshal, who
was along with the Revenue officers.
S. G. Marshall, Deputy Collector, did
not permit the Revenue officers to say
any thing at Bloodworth's house.
Saunders knocked at the door, and he
alone did the talking, told the ladies
who he was, and that no one should be
hurt; gave them ample time to dress,
and then without any threats or
menace on the part of the Deputy
Marshal, the door was opened, The
Marshal went in, and the men were not
there. The expense was betrayed by
D. w. Peabody, Collector, who ad-
vanced the money from his private
funds. The property is stored with
Sperry & Co., and awaits sale according
to the process prescribed by law. The
only thing not brought to the city was
Che meal, small quantity, and the

HOW IT WORKS.
From the New York Tribune.

IIOni -NcW 1Olh IIlDuHc.
One of the chief attractions of a CIR
pet-bag government is that it gives it's
citizens plenty of elections. In Mis-
sissippi the delightful state of incom-
prehensibiity to which the Legislature
has reduced the State Constitution en-
ables the Governor to call new cleo
ton whenever he dislikes the result of
the last one. Gov. Powers is now pre-
pairing to test the legality of the cleo
ton for Governor; and that there NAV
be no lack of material for controversy.
has called elections in twenty counties
on Dec. 30 for members of the Legisla-
ture, although an election was held in
each of them on Nov. 4. He justifes
his action by the Constitution, and his
opponents do the same. Such con-
stitution is doubtless well calculated to
keep up a popular interest in political
affairs. but its benefits to the prosperi-
ty of the State are not so apparent.

THE ADMINISTRATION PARTY
RENT IN TWAIN.
From the louisville Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville COurier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-It was very
obvious from the debate in the House
to-day, which was listened to with the
most eager interest, that the Admins
tration party Of the House will be rent
in twain on this vital issue of providing
the ways and means for the govern
ment. The House Committee on Ways
and Means are said to be resolute in
their opposition to increased taxation.
Messrs. Wood, Beck, Niblack, Foster,
Kasson and Sheldon are now dead
against it. They make majority of
the committee; so that, unless there be
a change, no bill for new taxes will be
reported to the House.
1t is reported that the President has
said that this idea of cutting down the
estimates was contemplate,

FINANCIAL, vRvrru

Never before was financial truth SO
much needed by Congress and the
country at large as at the present crisis
of our business affairs. The tendency
is to over-legislation, acting on the
principle that the people are ignorant
children, and must be held close in
leading strings. No amount Of legal
restrictions can cure the vices of over
trading, and an abuse of credit by san
gulne persons, where ones habits and
education are wrong. If our currency
were that OF Lycurgus, made of rusted
non, extravaganza would fndan outlet
That great extravaganza does exist few
well informed men viii deny, nor can
limited gold currency remedy the de-
feet IN our national aspirations and
character. A more enlightened public
sentiment can alone restrain
the trusting system for articles
consumed, which promotes excessive
consumption, with the power to cheat
labor out of no small part of its wages.
and often by panics and commissions in
trade, to throw the poor out Of employ
ment. The wheels of industry should
move as steadily as ones breathing
and digestion. How else can consump-
ton and production preserve an exact
relation to each other; never permit
ting consumption to be in excess? This
is more a domestic problem of family
expenses, than matter that Congress
can regulate. The circulating medium
of the nation should be coined metal
or its equivalent in something that is
easier counted, and transported from
one place to another. Our wild enter
prise, like that Of the northern railway
to the Pacific and many others,
has its origin in the fac
ility with which we may rob the virgin
soil of a fertile continent. 1t is plain
that the natural fruitfulness of a thou
sand million acres costs us next to
nothing. Europe pays us goods and
gold for this primitive fertility convert
ed into cotton, grain, tobacco. meat,
cheese and other staples. To move
these from the places of production to
those of consumption requires at times
a large amount of currency. If full
restitution were made to the land from
which all these crops are taken, as
should be done, nearly twice the cur
rency would be needed in agriculture
and commerce. This element of fertil
ity is really the most important in our
national finance. In British India
hundreds of millions of dollars have
been invested already in irrigating
canals and other improvements
to restore fruitfulness to cotton and
grain fields impoverished by long culti-
walton. Our industry has no such
financial aid. We bleed mother earth
constantly, using paper and depreci-
ated currency, worth some ninety cents
on a dollar, not to preserve our capital
in the soil, but to destroy it. This is
miserable fnanciering, which our short
sighted statesmen in Washington viii
not even notice or attempt to remedy.
Their policy looks not beyond killing
the American goose that now lays eggs
of gold. To do this in the fewest years,
by taking all that titled ground gives,
with no national restitution, is the soul
Of their industrial economy. Truth Of
this character is now carefully evaded,
but time Will reveal it.

OF nLAENE.s VIRTUE.


Representative Willard, of Vermont.
"a Republican, was chairman Of one of
the regular committees of the Forty
second Congress. During last summer
he wrote letter making candid
statement of the part taken by Presi-
dent Grant in the passage of the sal
ary-grab bill, which showed that the
occupant of the White House actually
importuned members for its passage.
For thus stating facts Mr.. Willard has
been removed By Speaker. Blaine from the
chairmanship Of a committee to an IN
ferio'' position. This action is more
marked from the fact that Speaker
Blaine appears to have taken extraor-
binary pains to give all the Credit
Mobilier and salary grabbers in the
present Congress, the best positions.
