The Senate Friday confirmed the
nomination of Simmons, Collector
at Boston, and General Buffers
friends are in high glee. The nomi
nation was undoubtedly obnoxious
to a large number of Boston Repub-
licans, but the Office is not Of vast
Importance, and the country will be
able to survive the shock.
A man at Niagara Suspension
Bridge, who bought for fifty cents
an old quilt, at sale of goods con-
fiscated by the collector, found on
dissecting it five yards of rich pink
silk, nine yards heavy silk,a quanti-
ty of velvet ribbon and numerous
neckties. How did they get there?

The crusaders army is preparing

land now. than were forty years ago,
when the Ale and Beer Act was passed
for the very purpose of lessening the use
of distilled liquors. The consumption
of distilled liquors has increased 17o
per cent. i'm the last fifty years."
Recorder Hill, of Birmingham, a high
authority, says: "The sale of spirits has
increased. The establishment of beer
shops is universally denounced as a
curse upon the land"
The report of the Convocation of Can
terbury, published in 1860, which had
ecclesiastical supervision of 100000
persons, (the committee consisted of six
arch-deacons, three deans, seven canons
and two prebendaries, all men of dis
tinction,) says: "This ale and beer act,
though introduced for the avowed pur-
pose of repressing intemperance by
counteracting the temptations to ex-
cessive drinking of ardent spirits, has
been abundantly proved not only to
have failed of its benevolent purpose,
but to have served throughout the
country to multiply and intensity the
very evils it was intended to remove" !"
DIR. Fowler says: "Paris, where more
wine is consumed than in any city in
the world, 1,0S9, 900 gallons yearly,
consumes more brandy and other dis
titled liquors per head than any nation
| onearth."
Commissioner Wells says: "California
with her cheap wines SO universally
used, in the year 1862, sold fourteen
times per head as much alcoholic stuff
as Maine, and more than any other
State" ruJ'
Rev. DIR. Stone, of California, late of
Pard Street Church, Boston, says: 81
had entertained hope that the manu-
faeture of pure wines and their intro
duction into general use would crowd
out the gross strong liquors and dimin-
ish intemperance. I am now fully con-
yinced that this hope was groundless
and delusive. In wine growing dis
tricts intemperance is on the increase,
extending to the youth of both sexes."
In 1860 the United States used SS,-
002,717 gallons distilled liquors; in
1867, about 20,000,000 more than this
In 1860, fermented liquors, l6l 10000,
In 1867, nearly 100000, 900 more than
this. The increase of beer drinking
in the past decade has been 507 per cent.

TEA AND CoFFEE.-Congress will
probably restore the duties on i'm
ported tea aud coffee, which were re-
poaled two years ago. The intention
of the repeal was to cheaper those
commodities for the consumers, but
it has not had that effect The prices
to the consumers have not been re-
duced, and the importers alone have
the benefit of the repealed duties,
while the Government loses the need
ed revenue. Hence it is very proper
that the duties should be restored.

Radical Democracy.

An Organization known as the
"Radical Democracy" has its head
quarters in Milwaukee. The Society
has some very respectable adhercnts,
mostly among the German. Ameri-
cans. From a memorial to Congress
placed in circulation By the memb ers
of this organization, We find that
they ask for certain amendments to
the Constitution of the United
States, embodying their ideas of
what would be an improvement of
that instrument. The changes asked
tor are as foil )ws:
l..
That every member of Congress
shall be directly responsible TO the
electors of his district. the majority
of whom, if be does not meet their
expectations or justify thoir conf
dence, may at any time recall hin or
replace him by a successor. The
modus operandi of this regulation
is 10 be defined by special law.
III.
That 30 important law shall Come
into force urtil it shall have been
sanctioned by the majority OF the
people.
That the SENATE. Ga nero copy
of the aristocs attic House of Lord
IN England and other monarchies),
whose members are not elected d.
rectIy by the people, be abolished
and it's privileges and duties--so far
as they do not become superfuous-
oe transferred to the House of Rsp-
resentatives.
~.
That the offices of President and
Vice President of the United Sta es
be hencetorth ab' ii-hed and that the
powers now vested ia them be trans
ferred to an Executive Council of
seven members, to be separately
CHI sen by the House Of Representa-
.ives from among slI the citizens Of
the United States and to be separate
ly and jointly responsible to the said
Legislative body and subject to be
dismissed by the same.

ments to the Constitution be amen
