Dclano and Douglass /:


III. As the facts are directly the reverse of
Mr.. Douglasss version of them, the cOnse-
quence to be drawn from them would be an
mder- production in the fiscal year 1870, instead
of IN Orer-production.
". Mr. Columbus Del no, in his annual re-
port as Commissioner of Internal Revenue to
Secretary Boutwell,, dated October 81, 1870
four months after the commencement Of the
fiscal year 1S71-makes this statement:
Judging from the information in possession
"Of this Office, there is no reason for believing
I" that there will be any material falling off in
the production of spirits during the current
Fiscal year." If there had been an Over-pro-
duction of whisky in the fiscal year 1870, as
Mr. Douglass now imagines, though his official
reports disprove it, and a consequent glut in
the market in the following year. would not
Mr.. DelanO have referred to the fact
V. Mr.. DelanO himself estimated the annual
consumption of distilled spirits at "nOt less
ethan eighty million gallons in his report for
1869, and at from seventy-ivo to eighty
"million gallons" in his report for 1870.
vi. In conclusion we must avOw that We are
unable to come to any other conclusion than
that in the fiscal year. 1871, at least twenty-
fire million gallons of distilled spirits escaped
taxation, and that at least fifteen million gallons
of crooked whisky" have been put on tho
market every year since. We annex table OF
the annual production of distilled spirits in
Great Britain and the United States for five
years past 1t il to be observed that the ex-
ports of spirits from the United States do not
average one million gallons per year, while the
British figures give the home consumption

A vigorous retrenchment is announced by
the Dock Commissioners, both in salaries and
the prices paid for labor, which is expected to
reduce the expenditures Of their Department
by more than $4,000 per annum. There is
nothing for which our citizens will be more
thankful than such economy, except, perhaps,
the completion of efficient, substantial docks in
place of the rotten wood-heaps which now
tester in the sunlight along our riyor-frOnt.

The Noble Red Man seems to be a very sus-
picious, not to say skeptical and unbelieving
bird. He doubts the honesty of the agent and
contractor, he imputes untruthfuness to 80
good man as Commissioner Smith, and he
even carries his distrustfulness to the extent Of
insisting upon having the cash in hand, when
the Government offers him $4,000 to relin-
quish his right to hunt in Nebraska, instead of
having it sent to him in the shape of presents
purchased for him by the philanthropists who,
according to President Grant, know what he
wants better Than Inc does himself We fear
the Noble Red Man will prove too
much for his bcnefactOrs. His ben
efactors Offer him $4,000 to give up
hunting in Nebraska. There being upwards of
$4,000 Sioux Indians, this would give them in

Under cloudless sky and famed by cool
ing breeze, the great Masonic procession passed
over the prescribed route in our streets yester-
day, without break, blundcr, or IN unncces-
sary delay. This is an unusual record for New
York professions. and is still more remarkable
when the magnitude of the moving mass is
considered. There are few generals in the army
that would undertake the marshaling of
10000 citizens for street parade with much
hope of success But the marshaling, the march
ing, and the mancuyering Of the MasonS were
simply admirable, and the curious figures to
which the evolutions OF the divisions gave
rise-crosses, triangles, squares, etc.-added
much to the spectacle, and would have done
credit TO the best military display. Large as
were the numbers Of those who composed the
procession, they were surpassed by the throngs
of spectators that lined the entire route and
struggled at every point for advantage of
view Our columns contain very full reports
of the ceremonies and speeches, the latter
abiding TO the noteworthy fact that the
project which has resulted in the construction
of the Masonic Temple will not be completely
carried out till the Order has also built an
Asylum.

AUsTINBURG.


The mud of Austinburg village is of
the best quality, and could hardly be
outdone in cohesive power" by that
which binds the Democratic party to-
gether. While that is public plunder,
this only operates in private way-by
robbing a man of his boots. The contin-
ued rains of late have been hard on clay
roads.
By the running up of the spire of the
new church, the fine design and archi-
lecture of the building begins to stand
out in all its pleasant and harmonious
proportions. When In its place, the
height of tower and spire will be 102 #.
It Is surmounted by the significant and
appropriate emblem of a star-pointing
to the birth, rather than the death of the
Son of Man. The browning portion OF
the building Ia not, by any means, the
least ornamental feature of it-but very
fitting and proper one. Pride over this
building could hardly be put down
among the weaknesses of the people of
AustInburg. "
We learn that work upon the build
ing will not be ntinued this winter,
beyond the completion ofthe work upon
the spIre. Mr.. Joshua Fobes seems to
be the active man upon the ground, and
by his energy and practical good sense,
has given an impulse to the work.
Fire was discovered in Spencer's
cheese factory, at Mechanlcsviile.-Aus-
tinburg t1wnship-about | o'clock, on
the morning of Friday, the 9Th. The fire
was near the roof and under considerable
heudway when first seen, leaving little or
no hope of saving the building. Atten-
ton was turned Ito saving the contents.
Two vats, some small fixtures and eight
cheeses were saved. A months cheeses
were in the drYing-or upper room-all
of which were lost-valued at some 800.
The building was Insured in the Home
N. Y.-fOr $4,000 but the cheese and
fixturers were dead loss. The fire took
in or near the dry room, in a way unac-
counte for. The factory had been twice
on fire before, and the hamlet had suffer.
ed by other sad and serious conflagra-
tions-such as to make its misforlunes | n
this line, a marked feature of its history
The above facts of the fire are mainly
from the Times.
