The annual report Of the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue has been completed. 1t is very comprehen-
siye this year and very long. The method by which
the whisky frauds we're committed are minutely de-
scrbed and the results of the campaign against the
conspirators detailed. 1t appears that - dis
tillers 81 rectifers, and 90 United States
officials have been implicated in these
frauds. The loss to the Government on fraudulent
spirits has been 81 $4,000. Among the changes in
the revenue systemr recommended is one TO make the
punishment Of dishonest rectihers more severe. The
report shows how distillers evaded ~the pay
rnent Of sn increased fax on 23,oOo,Ooo gal
Ions of spirits, causing loss 10 the Govern
ment Of $1,4O0000. Changes in the mode OF
branding cigaT-boxes, gauging spirits, Furnishing

showing the revenue collected in the various States
are given, and the articles paving the tax. The
British excise system is compared with onr revenue
system, TO the advantage of the latter.

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-05-12

On our first page viii be found the
speech of Hon. Carl Schurz, at the ban
quet in New York, on the occasion Of his
departure for Europe. This is important
as showing that the large class of voters
whom its author represents, have made
up their minds to permanent separation
from the Radical Republican party, of
whose policy the Grant Administration Is
the exponent. And it is significant also as
showing that their separation from Radi-
cal Republicans does not necessarily inn
ply that they intend to join the Democrat
ic party.
Starting out from the proposition of
Mr.. Schurz, that the settlement of the
questions, in reference to which the Re
publican party was originally formed,
"have been fortified By the constitutional
amendments" they propose to act
independently, or to act with either
party, as the case may be, which will give
the best guarantees of faithful and hon
est administration of the government,
coupled with evidences that the issues
settled by the war, and designed to be
clinched by the constitutional amend
ments, shall not be disturbed.
It will be readily seen that these indie
pendents, Originally Republicans, who
raised the standard of revolt against
Grantism, will exercise a controlling in
fuence in the Presidential election. In
the late New Y ork election, after the two
parties had made their nominations, they
declared in favor Of the Democratic ticket,
and it was elected by sixty thousand ma
iority. They went with the Republicans
in New Hampshire, and kept that State
from being swept off by the tidal wave.
They supported the Democratic ticket in
Connecticut, and 10! the Republicans
met their Waterloo. Both in New
York and Connecticut the Independents,
Cor as they may be appropriately called
the Liberals) were distinctly recognized
by the Democrats in arranging the cam
paign In New York, Dorsheimer, Lib
eral. was placed on the ticket with Tilden.
And in Connecticut, the recognition
Of the Liberals was even more marked.
Gov. Ingersoll, in announcing the result,
proclaimed it democratic and Liberal
victory" No matter what it was called,
nor by whom won, the result is all the
same-it was a defeat of the Administra-
ton policy Of prescribing the South, and
employing Federal forces to keep her un-
der the yoke of ignorance and dishonesty.
1t is to be hoped that in arranging the
Presidential programme, the lessons OF
New York and Connecticut, and New
Hampshire too, will not be lost on the
Democratic leaders, and that while it will |
be folly to think of nominating for the
Presidency any other but a Democrat, |
care will be taken, not to repel an ALI
ance with the Independents, who will
chain victory to the standard of the party
in whose cause they may decide to en-
list,

The Reclamation of the Mississippi Bot.
toms.

We have before US the Report of the
commission of U. S. Engineers, on this
interesting subject, appointed under an
act of Congress, passed in 1874. The
commission consists of Maj. G. K. War
rem, Maj. Henry L. Abbot, Capt. W. H.
IL. Benyaurd, Mr.. jackson Z. Sickles.
Mr.. Paul Hebert, and Mr.. Charles
NJ. Fauntleroy. The various plans that
have been offered for the reclamation and
protection of the bottom lands from the
floods of the great river, are deliberately
discussed and disposed of by the commits
sion, and they have concluded with rec
ommending system of thorough leveeing
and outlets. For the latter purpose they
have indicated three natural channels
which have good banks and a clay bottom,
for the work, viz, the Atchafalaya,
the La Fouche and the Plaquemine, all
of which should be cleaned out, enlarged,
and, when necessary, leveed so as to pro-
tect the surrounding country from over
flow.
The commission propose to divide the
alluvial basin into six districts, as fol-
lows:
''The ST. Francis bottom lands from
Cape G.rardeau to Helena the White
river bottom lands from Helena to the
mouth of the Arkansas; the Tennessee
bottom lands extending from the Arkan-
sas to the Red river; the Yazo0 bottom
lands lying between the bluffs below
Memphis and Vicksburg; the west bank
of Louisiana below Red river, and the
east bank of Louisiana below Baton
Rouge. All the existing levees on the
Mississippi are declared too low and liable
to be oyerfowed in high water unless re-
lieved by crevasses. The levees advised
by the commission are to be high enough
to restrain the floods and wide enough TO
resist the action of the water; and it
recommends further, for the protection of
the levees after they are built, that each
section be placed in charge of an engineer
with authority to compel the attendance of
every able-bodied resident within rea- |
sonahle distance in time of danger. Such |
a system as this the commission believes
would effectively protect the country from
overfows, and largely increase the pro-
ductive capacity of the cotton and sugar /
lands of the Lower Mississippi"

To correct the arbitrary and selfish COM
bination of the Printers Union to inter-
fere with the right of proprietors to en-
plov boys in their establishments to learn
the art, the Judiciary Committee of the
Pennsylvania Legislature has reported a
bill on the subject. 1t declares all COM
binations or associations unlawful which
have for their purpose the prevention
or Encouragement of the apprenticing of
minors in any trade or occupation. I'm
der its provisions any person who, either
as an Individual or as a member of any
association, shall attempt by any means
whatever to prevent any mechanic, en-
ployer, or person having charge of any
manufacturing business, from taking as
an apprentice any minor whose parent or
guardians are DESTROYS of apprenticing
said minor" shall be guilty of misde-
meanor, and liable to fine and imprison-
ment.
1t would be we'll if ell the States would
pass a law similar to the foregoing, be-
cause the abuse it is designed to correct
has been practised in all. 1t has been
well said that if any class of the commu-
nifty should have chance, it is the boys
They are to continue longer on the stage
than any others, and the welfare of soci-
ETY. is peculiarly bound up in their right
starting andtraining. Particularly ought
they to have, in the fullest degree, that
ordinary right of earning their own living
Or of getting ready to earn it. Against
his right, the regulation of the Union to
which we have referred, operates and
he interference amounts to an intolerable |
wrong which ought to be arrested by the
trong arm of the law.

and the result is mistrial, notwith-
standing the pointed and conclusive testi-
moDy of Dorsey, lcoIored) J, the pupil and
confidential deputy of TIE accused, to-
gether with the corroborative testimony
of other witnesses. It IS just such farces
as this, under pretence of executing the

ishment not only upon evIl-doers them
selves. but upon professional jurors who
