Seizure Of NistilIerles.

The recent seizure of distilleries at
st. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee,,
shows to what an extent the revenues
are abused by the eonnivance of dishon-
est officials, and fully justifies the re
moval of Commissioner Douglass from
the head of the revenue department.
So perfect had the organization of the
whisky ring become that it is said nearly
al subordinate officers of the depart
R1ent winked at its eyasions of the law,
and no movementOf the department to
detect the illicit trade which was being
carried on, could he determined ON, be-
fore tbe whisky ring were in possession
Of the secret The ring consisted Of
about thirty firms located as above
stated. The movement against the ring
began last fall, but was signally defeated
by the adroit management of the ring,
until in February last when Geo. W.
Fiahback, proprietor of the st. Louis
Democrat took the matter in hand He
wrote to friend in Washington to say
to Secretary BristCw, that he would an
swar for the breaking up of the ring in
st. Louis in case person he would
name was appointed a secret agent
Secretary Bristow being favorable the
name was sent through third party y;
and yet notwithstanding the secrecy
which had been observed, the ring got
an mixing Of something and sent man
forward who represented himself as hay
ing been sent by persons anxious to
work against the ring. He was a plaus-
ible fellow, and came near reaching the
secret, hut was discovered in time.
Myren Colony, Commercial editor of
the st. Louis Democrat, and Secretary
of the Cotton Exchange, was the secret
agent to whom a commission was secret
ly issued, with full power to employ
such detective and clerical force. as was
necessary. This commission reached
Mr.. O. on Hseajth Of March, and work
was at once commenced. Watehmen of
the most reliaiale character were secured
aud set to olasezYe the distilleries, es-
pecially at night, and it was found they
both received grain and shipped whisky
under cover Of the night, both being in
violation Of law. The watchman, though
changed from one distillery to the other,
were soon discovered, and an attempt
made to buy or drive them off, but with
out avail. Meanwhile the agent had a
parfect transcript made of all dray OF
shipping tickets of merchandise shipped
from st. Louis the previous year, and
so obtdined perfect record of every
packageOf spirits shipped and was able
to compare them with returns made TO
the department.
And so, gradually but rapidly the tolls
were drawn around the distllers, until
on the 10th inst. the fact burst upon
the country, and the distilleries of the
thEee cities named were seized 1t is
hoped that that step was but the begin
ming of the HloYement which is to intro
duee better naen in place, and secure a
more faithful application of the revenue
laws.

1T Sentimental SIOp.

That's what the New York World says
Of the Geghan Bill of Ohio;
That was a very absurd tag 10 the bill
for the care of pauper children which
proposed to provide that the pauper
children should be brought up in the
religious faith, ascertained or presumed,
of their parents. It was equally ridicu-
lous with bill which Mr. Hustled intro
duced into the Legislature some years
ago, and the like of which has actually
become law in Ohio, securing to convicts
their choice of clergymen.. The reli-i
glous preference Of a man who has not
religion enough to keep out Of jail are
about the last thing q sensible Legisla-
ture would consult, A man who has be-
come disgraee and burden, Instead
Of an ornament ard defense, TO the COM
mdnity, had Sbest take what religion
the community supplies him with and be
thankful. There is no religion which he
could not behave himself better by than
the one which has previously preferred
and practiced, whatever form of religion
or irreligion he has professed. His
preferences" would lead him away
from religion aud also from penal serv-
itude, and are in both cases to be pro-
foundly disregarded. The cause Of pau
per children stands on the same footing.
Parents who have left their children to
be taken care of by the community have
no possible claim on their children or on
the community in respect Of their chill
dren. Their child On cannot be brought
up in worse religion than that which
has brought them to dependence upon
charity. The Bible viii inform the Leg
islature that he who proyideth not for
his own is worse than an INTEL, and, by
consequence, that any religion is better
than his religion. The whole business
is disgusting piece of sentimental slop,
if it is no worse.

Tafts dissenting opinion differs from his
utterance 70 our correspondent - Cleye-
land Herald.
The Herald is verbally correct we be-
lieve, as the Judge did not leave on re-
cord any expression then as TO what he
would do in the event of the formation
of new constitution. He only raised
up series of objections to the constitu.
tional provision referred to, which, il
correct, and he honest, be could not en-.
tertain without desiring to have the said
provision stricken out in case of the for.
nation of a new constitution. We have
not room for the whole of Judge Taft'i
dissenting opinion, but give pertinent
extract The Herald would do well tC
read it once more:
"The Catholics are CONSTRAINED every
year, to yield to others their right Ia
one-third of the School money, sum of
money averaging not less than 5000, ,O0O
every year, on conscientious grounds.
That is to say, these people are PUNISHED
every year for believing as they do, to the
extent of 100000, and to that extent
those of us who send our children to
these excellent Common Schools become
beneficiaries of the Catholic money. We
pay for our privileges much less than
they actually cost. Mercantile life is
supposed to cultivate in some relish
for HARD BARGAINS. But if it were bus
mess matter, and not matter of reli-
gious concern, could business men be
found willing to exact such a pecuniary
vantage of this2 think it would
shock the SECULAR conscience.
Now, if the Judgeis honest, how could
he, holding the above views, desire to
see perpetuated in a new constitution
a provision because of which any body
of citizens were constrained to yield
their right" and be punished" on ac-
count of their belief II he, SO belev-
ng, could drive so "hard bargain" not
only the secular" but the religious con
science of the man would be outraged,
ind he would be the unjust judge per
Ionifed, because desiring to perpetuate
