LIQUOR DRINKING.

The quantity of spirituous and fermented
liquors imported into or manufactured in the
United States bristles with formidable pro-
portions. It shows Csays the Baltimore Sun,
which coudenses tine followiug) that Amer
leans are great guzzlers, whether from the fact
that they love strong drink or wish patriot
ically to add to the national revenues by the
immense taxation on liquors, that paper will
not undertake to say. In the year ended
June so, 1874, there were imported 91S, 049
gallons OF brandy, 60, 472 of cordials, liqueurs,
&C., Isl. 2S6 of grain spirits aud 226. OIL of
other spirits, being an aggregate of ,957, 1928
gallons, at cost to the importers of So, $751;
S24. or about $500 per gallon. including the
customs duties. OF the home product We
learn from official reports for the same period
that there were 8, 500 distilleries in operation,
AID the amount of spirits produced was co.
574,062 gallons, of which 6s, sos, 374 gallons
were warehoused, and Of the latter amount
81, 763, 700 gallons were Withdrawn on pay
mens of tax, 1900, log gallons exported in
bond and 4, 1856 gallons Withdrawn for scien-
tic purposes, indicating vast disproportion
between national science and national thirat.
The internal revenue tax on the amount with
drawn was s4S, 1884, $40. The usual manip>
ulation Of the amount of imported spirits
makes them cost the consumer over s25 ,0O0,-
600, while the domestic products will cost
about s216, 100000. Placing our population
at DO, 600, 600, the consumption during the
fiscal year was 159 gallons to each person, at
cost of 1915 per gallon bu. as it is esti
mated that only about one-eighth of the pop
ulasiou use spirits habitually, it will be seen
that the cost of alcoholic luxury is about one
dollar per week TO each person.
In regard to fermented liquors the statistics
for the same period show the importations in
casks and bottles to have been 9, OO1, OS4 gal,
Ions at cost to importers of s., 1853, 945, in
Guiding S566,9S7 customs duties. Retailers
by bottle sell the article at the rate of $3.50
per gallon. In the United States there we're
1924 breweries and their product was 275,-
305, $50 gallons, paying internal revenue duty
and special tax Of s9.3O4 ,679. The produc.
shows an average of 6f gallons for each per-
son in the United States, aud rating fifth of
the population as beer drinkers, the quantity
to each drinker is ifty>fve gallons per annum,
the consumer paying about SO cents per gal.
Ion. 1t will be seen that the United States
obtained q total revenue of $50, 493, $40 from
domestic distillation of spirituous and fer
mented liquors

COMMUNICATED.

1t is mooted question. as to the iDtsx
icating power of that favorite German drink,
lager beer. 1t has been very closely tested
in the courts of our large cities. growing out
of the criminal prosecution of infraetions of
the license aud Sabbath laws believe il is
NOT yet satisfactorily determined as to its alcos
hoiic properties aud the question may be said
to be in allegiance. If the noted lager will
not make drunk. neither do suppose that ale
and such like nal. drinks will. which NAV be
counted of miIder form But those of them
selves do not intoxicate, and yet there are
those who d" get intoxicated in our midst =
Hardly on ate, for It is not enough alcoholic
to produce such an effect. Now that oft re,
peated and seeminely unanswerabls question
comes up '' Who sfrurk Billy Patterson p
That somebody does is manifest, for he reels
and staggers under blow from somewhere,
by some person. Our grand inquest tried to
solve the mystery last fall, hut it failed, and
Billy mysteriously gets blows yet The like

THE CHANGERS NEARLY CAUGHT.

The Changers in California came very
nearly being caught heavily in one of their
anti. middle-men movements: We allude, says
an exchange, to the movement of their wheat
crop last season. Instead of doing as for
merly, they engaged laet fall in the transport
tation of wheat on their own account, employ
ing the firm of Morgans Sons as factors. EThis
firm according to statements some short time
since failed.] Morgans Sons was TO ship in
the name of the farmer, and agreed to make
advances. Among those who thus sent their
wheat to this firm for shipment was Charles
Green and others, to the extent of Is ,453
sacks of wheat. valued at about 81 900. The
wheat was placed on board vessel and bills
of lading were taken in the name of Morgans
Sons, instead of the name Of the owners, and
the agent of that firm procuring invoices and
policies of insurance, also in the name of the
firm, transferred them to Daniel Meyer, who
thereupon made advances ON the cargo, which
Morgans Sons applied to their own use.-
When the Changers learned Whist had been
done they went to Meyer and demanded
possession Of their property. which was re-
fused An action was then brough. against
Meyer. and as the Supreme Court of the State
had decided that factor cannot pledge as Sc.
curity for his individual debt the goods of his
principal consigned to him for sale, the plain
tifs got verdict in their favor. Il is said
that actions are now pending based on similar
transactions. in which the Grangers seek to re-
cover at 81 900, 900.

PRESIDENTIAL FIGURING.

The Norfolk TIirgiiniian has correspondent
who has been figuring since the late State
elections, with a view of learning something
of the Presidential outlook. His summary is
encouraging. On the basis of elections since
1872, the Electoral vote of the States aggre>
gate: Democrats 100; Republicans, 66 :;
divided, no. Total. 366. Thus there are
ITO electoral votes to contest; if these are
cast in accordance with the latest expressed
will of their respective States the results would
be for the Democrats, POO; Republicans, 76.
But couceding to the Republicans all the di-
vided States the Democrats will have ma
jority of IA over all. 1t only takes 184 votes
to elect. Evidently, therefore, the Demo-
Gratis cannot be beaten, unless they beat them>
selves Can Grant be nominated Yes, he
is sure of Is Southern States, 1873 votes, and
lacks but 48 to ge. majority of the COnven,
zion.

GEN. GORDON AND THE VICE
PRESIDENCY.

Ithas already been announced that General
John B. Gordon, of Georgia. has expressed
his unalterable intention not to permit the use
of his name for the Vice Presidency on the
democratic ticket A representative of the
Atlanta Herald, having interviewed General
Gordon on this subject, he said:
al will not, under auy circumstances, all
low lhe use of my name in connection with
the Vice>Presidency. Even if / were nomi-
mated. should withdraw my name. My
reasons for this statement are that believe
that Southern man on the ticket would
weaken it and as much as personal ambition
might tempt me to yield to the partial sug
gestions OF my friends, would not, for all
the honors of the gift of the American peo-
pie, feel that l had been the means of driy>
ing one man from the support of that ticket
on whose success depends the future peace
aud prosperity of my country have but
one objsct-that is the re>establishmeut of
harmony, of goodwill and Of good govern
ment To this end all things also shall be
secondary. We occupy very much the po-
sition assigned in the East, after the crusades,
Richmard Ceur de Lion. For nearly one
hundred years afterwards, when horse would
shy around bush. the rider would ask if he
saw Richard; and mothers frightened their
babes into quiet by telling them Richard was
coming. Just so these radicals are attempts
ing to Tighten the North by constantly har-
rowing them with rebels ghost. This will
not have its effect long with people of sense
in any section, however. Yet SO powerful
is this feeling at present that no Southern
man. who has his country's good at heart. will
allow himself placed in any position calculated
to keep alive these hurtful passions"

Court:
No. $50 Barclay. Collector, vs. CLARK, ct
al. (Clark, Dodge & Go } and one other case.
Error to the Circuit Court for the Southern
District of New York. These were suits to
recover taxes paid under protest of one twenty
fourth OF one per cent. upon capital en-
ployed in banking. The fund upon which
the tax was laid and money borrowed in the
ordinary and usual course of business of the
defendants. The Court decided that such
funds were not capital employed in the bust
ness of che bankers, which was not liable to
be assessed as such, and that the assessment
made was unauthorized and void. The Gov
eminent assigns this decision as error. aud
maintains that the fund was liable to the tax
levied. if not as capital. yet as deposits.

Senatorial Convention

In another column will be found the

vention to be held at Clyde. on the 3Oth
of the present month. In view of the
Importance of this campaign it is desira-
BILE that every township entitled to dele
gates, may be represented, and we trust
every township in this county viii send
up delegation so that there may be no
vacancies, and thus full expression of
the people be obtained. Let them come
up prepared to vote for the best man
that may be presented. By a proper
nomination and a united effort this dis
trict can be redeemed, and the Republi-
cans owe it to themselves to. allow no
lack Of interest to prevent so desirable a
result.
