spirituOlIs Industry.

A correspondent Of the Chicago
Inter. Ocean writes letter from
Estill county, Kentucky, in which he
graphically describes Kentucky, Ken
tuckians aud Kentucky industries,
from which We take the following OK
tract:
1.-THE fact still looks us in the face
that distilling is the only business
followed with q zeal that warrants
success We passed some mills and
several potteries, but all still, the only
sign OF life or improvement being in
the neighborhood where Bourbon is
made. aud the average Kentuckian. OF
the Democratic faith, will point with
native pride to this fact Since whis
ky has taken the place Of milk largely,
the business of potteries must fall
off; in fact, when State deliberately
falls into one industry it always
starves the others ont, and finally
itself. Witness Minnesota and wheat
a few years ago; Georgia and cotton,
and SO on with other places North
and South. In Kentucky it is whisky,

The Nashville Banner, in noticing
the death Of Charles Sumner, speaks
with commendable liberality and
fairness of the dead Senator'S charac

of which tho Shelbyville Commercial

follows:
"Since the Nashville Banner has
written such glowing eulogy on the

remarks on the death Of Butler"

gives the following ss its ticket for

L. G. Houk for senator, any good
Democrat or Republican who will
vote for Andrew Johnson for United

The nOiety System.

Under the head Of "a monstrous
law" we copy portion Of an article
from Harpsr's Weekly, Of the 4th
inst, upon the moiety feature Of our
customs laws, which will be found to
10 worthy Of most thoughtful consid>
Grafton.
While we do net pretend to any
thing more than 9 very imperfect
knowledge Of the general require
ments OF our customs laws, we do
not hesitate to say that the moiety
feature thereof is fundamentally
wrong. and should be repealed with
out delay. Our wonder is that it has
been allowed to remain to this time.
As is 80 well said in the article
referred to. it is no argument in its
favor to show that it is an old law,
since the antiquity Of an abuse can
not be plead as q reason for it's con-
tinuance.
The idea Of makinga man, no mat
ter who, nor how honest, at once
agent, detective, constable and wit
ness; arm him with code Of most
intricate as well as most rigorous
laws; send him forth with authority
to pounce down at will upon the
business community, seize and carry
away books and papers, make arrests
and close up houses, and then make
his compensation to depend upon the
number and magnitude Of the failures
to comply even with all the technical
tiles Ct the law, that he may be able
to work up, is so perfectly monstrous
in itself, and 30 utterly repugnant to
every thought of liberty impartial
justice and good government, that we
cannot believe the system can longer
retain the sanction Of law.
