lecting officers, and it would require such
hosts of officers to collect the whole revenue
by internal taxation that much smaller
proportion would find its way into the
Treasury. The sound rule Of levying
taxes only for the government excludes very
high rates, lest great part of what is paid
by the people should go to enrich smugglers,
fabricators of false invoices, dishonest APP
praisers and whiskey rings. A high tariff is
premium on smuggling, as high excise is
on illicit distillation. A tariff for revenue
means revenue to the Treasury, not to snug
glers, rings and faithless officers taxes
should, therefore, be moderate and distrib-
uted over quite number of articles. If the
tariff included but few articles the rates of
duty would be put so high that the people
would have to support large SNUG
Cling interest In like manner, if
duties are laid by preference on such
kinds of goods as are produced at
home the foreign and the domestic
will be alike raised in price; the increase on
the foreign goods alone going into the Treas
ury and the whole addition to the price of
domestic goods going into the pockets of the
manufacturers There is no good reason why
any part Of the peoples money should go to
the support of either smugglers, illicit distil-
lers or mismanaging manufacturers. 1t is, of
course, impossible to devise system of tax
alton so perfect that none of these classes
will be incidentally benefited, but it should
be the steady aim of the government to reduce
their opportunities of gain to minimum. AS
no taxes are Intentionally laid for the mere
benefit Of the collecting officers 50 none
should be Intentionally levied to benefit one
class Of producers at the expense Of the
whole country.

NEW YORK.
The Registration OF city voters.

This is the first of the four days on which
the legal voters of this city may register, pre-
paratory to the general election, to take place
November 2. The other three days are the
18TH the 22d and the 23d of October Citi-
zens will find it for their ease and comfort to
visit the registering places on the first day.
To-day the places will be quiet; there will
be no crowd compelling voters to put them
selves at the tail Of long queue and await
their turn, and they Will escape the appear
ance of having been drummed up by the
whippers-in of parties, who are SO busy on
the last days of registration The hours on
all the days are from eight in the morning
until nine in the evening, and, except for
the Iaboring classes, who must go early to
their work, the morning is the better time.
1t concerns voters to understand that their
privileges are somewhat curtailed by pro-
vision of the amended State constitution.
Heretofore citizen who changed his resi-
dence within thirty days Of the election did
not lose his privilege of voting for the greater
part Of the officers to be chosen. If he re-
moved out of one election precinct into
another in the same Assembly district he
could still vote for an Assemblyman ; if he
removed out Of the Assembly district, but
remained in the same Senate district, he
could vote for Senator, and so on but at
present he cannot vote at all for any officer
whatever if he removes out of his small
election precinct within thirty days Of the
election. A removal from one side of the
street to q house on the other side directly
opposite may extinguish his right to vote.
1t will accordingly be a mere waste of time
for anybody who has removed out of an
election district since last Saturday or who
contemplates removal previous to Novem-
Der 2 to take the trouble Of registering, as
the law will not permit him to vote.

The Tammany States and the O'Both-
Grafton Party.

The work of the Tammany democracy is
now pretty well arranged, and, the candidates
decided upon by the calm Judgment Of the
leaders have been duly SLATED" in advance
of their formal nomination by the several
conventions. They will, no doubt, be gen
orally fair and capable men, for political
parties nowadays are compelled to pay
some attention to publia opinion n the Sc
lection of their nominees. OF course they
will receivs their full share of personal abuse
from the opposing political jonrnals but
the democracy of the city, as body, will
accept them and give them the party vote.
In certain districts the deliberations are in
q turbulent condition and announce them
selves as prepared to make war on the Tam
many candidates; but the opposition
is more noisy than substantial. The

THE Toms, that famous prison which is
built in part of the city for years the abode
Of poverty and ignorance and crime, is
gloomy enough when viewed from the out
side But its interior is far more terrible,
though few Of our citizens have any knowl-
edge Of the sufferings Of the prisoners.

valuable to the Carlists than victory, forthey

The Fifth Avenue Pnvement-A Dam
gerous Public Nuisance.

The condition of the Fifth avenue pave
ment is disgraceful to the city, and something
should be done to improve it before the win
ter sets in. At present it is hazardous to
drive over it, not only to the horses, but to
human life. During the race week the street
cleaning authorities are careful to have the
avenue well swept and freed from dirt but
while their intention is good and commend
able they only render the road more slippery
and dangerous. With such wretched pave
ment and in its present broken, dilapidated
condition, dirt is necessary to enable the
horses to keep their footing at all. 1t is out
rageous that the principal, indeed the only
available avenue for pleasure driving through
the heart of the city to Central Park, should
be thus shamefully neglected. The city was
swndled when the present pavement was
laid, but that is now unavoidable. As in the
case Of other old abuses. we must bear the
monetary infection, and endeavor to get rid
of the evil as speedily as possible. The road
is now dangerous public nuisance, and as
such there must be full power in the city au-
thorities to apply remedy No obstructive
policy or false economy should be suffered
to keep the avenue any longer in its present
disgraceful condition
The residents ON Fifth avenue are prepared
to bear their proper share of the cost of its
improvement, and would be glad if the work
could be commenced at once. If legislation
be necessary the city authorities should
draft law for the purpose and ask that it be
one of the first to be enacted at the next SEES
sion. The avenue should be macadamized,
as it is almost wholly devoted to pleasure
driving, and its management should be
transferred to the Central Park authorities.
In this manner it wonld be made part of
the Genital Park, as it were, and should be
kept in IS good condition as the roads inside
the Park But we believe that the existing
laws arc sufficient to enable the. city authori-
ties TO put the avenue in good order, to
abate the present dangerous nuisance and to
macadamize the whole avenue, from Wash
ington square 10 the Park The Common
Council should take the matter in hand, for
they could do no more popular and certainly
no more useful public work.
