The newspapers of New York show as
much zeal in Publishing full particulars
of everything connected with the great
revival meeting which is being conducted
in Brooklyn by Messrs. Moody and Sanky
as they did in Publishing the reports of
the Tilton- Beecher trial. Many of them
have reported Mr.. Moody's sermons in
full since the commencement of the
meetings, and he is becoming dissatisfied
with their enterprise and says that he
cannot continually preach original dis
courses and objects to their being pub
lished. 1t may be disadvantage to Mr..
Moody to have his sermons appear in
print every day, but he should not do
anything to destroy the interest the news
papers have taken in the reformation of
Brookly and New York. Mr.. Moody has
undoubtedly attacked the devil in his
stronghold, and if the good work con-
tinues in time even newspaper men may
be reached.

Gen Mcdonald, at st. Louis, for de.

the Office Of supervisor of internal reve.

Bristow has uncovered one Of the most
extensive schemes for illegally making
money that has yet been known, and
other officials than Gen. Mcdonald are
implicated. One Magrue, a distiller
engaged in making crooked whisky, has
turned States evidence against his CON-

FoR the year ending June Both, 1875,
the State of Illinois paid larger revenue
tax to the general government than any
other State in the Union, viz: $17, 627,-
66s. This is accounted for by the large
quantity of whisky manufactured in that
State; but after all the States that buy
their whisky in reality pay the tax, and
the fuss that some of the Chicago papers
are making over the large revenue tax
their State pays is all uncalled for. While
Illinois paid over seventeen million
Kansas only paid one hundred and thirty
odd thousand, but from the amount Of
whisky that is consumed in the State we
are of the opinion that part of the
large sum paid by Illinois WAS furnished
by our people.

IT HAS been decided by the great trunk
lines of railroads to add fifty per cent.
to the present tariff on freights to the
West. When the cold weather closed
lake navigation an advance by the rail-
road companies was expected, but fifty
per cent. is much more than was antici-
pated by our business men. Cheap
freights will never be permanently estab-
lished until the government owns some
competing lines.

DON'T KILL THE BIRDS

The Tennessee Sportsmen's Association
is holding shooting meeting at Memphis.
Among what the Tennessee shooters call
sport is the killing of birds loosed from
traps. This wicked amusement has been
made popular by Captain Bogardus, o
man who has wasted many years Of his
life to become the champion bird killer.
A man can not well indulge in more iu-
glorious occupation and claim respect
ability in a civilized world. The ,idiocy
of shooting at a target carries with it no
injury to living creatures. Bird shooting
for the mere purpose of gratifying fiend-
ish desire to kill, can not be defended.
1t is unmaniy and degrading. The
pigeons, the gentle doves sacrificed by
the champions, easily become friendly to
men, women and children. They are inno-
cent and beautiful, and sustain life BY pick
ing up grain wasted by the wayside. These
birds the shooters gather by hundreds and
imprison in cages and traps. They are
kept confined until the. Bogardus men
come to shoot. When the marksman has
drawn crowd of people to admire his
skill the birds are released from shooting
traps before his aim. The traps are made

SUMMARY AND SATISFACTORY.

The Bulletin is the authority for the fol-
lowing intelligence, which, if correct, is
very gratifying:
Governor Kellogg will wind up that East
Feliciana matter in short order. Exactly
how he will do it does not appear, but the
result will be satisfactory to the people OF
the parish.
We do not question Governor Kelloggs
ability to make such suggestions in the
East Feliciana case as ought to satisfy all
reasonable persons, whether they are ''the
people of the parish or Republicans OF
the same territorial jurisdiction. But
until we learn something more of the de-
tails of the promised "wind up" such as
who are the parties to be acted upon, who
tc be restrained and who to give the
cue to parochial satisfaction, we must dis
sent from the last clause of the Bulletin S
information. Nothing short of omnipotent
p over can compel all the people of East
Feliciana to be satisfied with any probable
settlement of their local squabbles over
the few Offices up there. Since the trouble
began several startling crimes have been
committed which yet remain to be inves-
tigated and the perpetrators punished.
We believe Governor Kellogg's contem-
plated action, Of which we know no more
than does the Bulletin, will be both wise
and just; but this by no means implies
that "the people of the parish" will prove
wise and just enough to approve it. Per.
haps the Bulletin has sufficient influence
with the Democracy of East Feliciana to
make them submit to the laws, deliver up
offenders and assist in their conviction
and punishment. If so the influence has
been but recently acquired because were
it of long standing it would probably have
been exercised to prevent the acts which
h ave brought disgrace to the society in
which the lynchers of Gair and the IN.
protected woman live.
We suppose that any time before the
news of the Eas' Feliciana horrors reached
the city, the Ba!letin would have readily
assented to the affirmation that "the PEG.
pie of the parish were too humane and
law abiding to permit the scenes which
have been recently enacted. The REpUB.
L1cAN certainly would. But we are not SC
willing to vouch for their satisfaction with
measures which ought to be instituted to
vindicate the dignity of the laws. People
who meet in mass conventions for the pur.
pose of apolog zing for those who SHOOT
and hang their prisoners are not the sor,
that are usually satisfied with the fruits Of
their own acts Governor Kellogg can
therefore hope for nothing more than 9
sullen acquiescence in his attempt te
"wind up that East Feliciana matter in
short order" If he expects those with
whom he will have to deal to be satisfied
he will be extravagant.

Here is possession of Spain at our
DOORS There is foreign despotism en-
forcing African slavery. A portion of the
people controlling large extent of terri
tory has, for six years, maintained the
cause of republican government and
emancipation. The United States has
rested within hearing of this cry of OPP
preston and outrage. 1t has not-deemed
it proper to recognize the fact that freedom
was struggling with tyranny, and was en-
titled to at least such sympathy as was
shown to Mexico under somewhat similar
| circumstances.
The United States, in common with
other countries, is even made to contribute
to the conquests of despotism. The Span
ish duties imposed on American in COM
mon with other produce are SO heavy that
our Western surplus provisions can not be
fairly sold in that market, while all the
products of the Spanish Islands purchased
by us are paid for in specie To make
neutrality even more CALLING war tax of
ten per cent is added upon commodities
imported into Cuba Upon this we have
no other comment than this: If the gov
eminent of the United States deems it
consistent with the principles and policy
which regulates its continental relations
to insist upon some modification of the
present rate of duties upon our Western
productions it would, if successful, greatly
reduce the ''over production of which all
complain.
If the same policy of reciprocal re-
duction of tariff rates should be executed
with respect to all other col tinental
States, we should have a new market for
our provisions and new stimulus for our
Eastern manufactures. If to this shall be
added such facilities irregular steam COM
merce as may be necessary to give full
effect to this policy then may the Repub-
lican administration claim that it has not
only settled past questions, but opened q
new and progressive future. Republican
principles established at home will be diff
fused abroad, and grand continental Re-
publican policy will be for the future of
the Union.
