4 New STAMP FOR WHsKT.-Io
insure the destruction of the stamps
when packages of whisky are emptieu
by rectifers and to test the genuine
ness Of stamps placed upon barrels,
new system has been approved oy
Secretary Bristow and Commissioner
Pratt. 1t provides for pasting upon
the backs OF stamps piece OF paper
about two inches long and one inch
wide. so that the central part will not
adhere 10 the stamp. When this
stamp is pasted upon the barrel there
= part of il which can be cut out
easily and removed. Gaugers, when
they gauge for dumping, are required
TO cut this out, as il shows the serial
numbers and proof gallons, and to re-
turn 10 the commissioner with their
report. This completely destroys the
stamp. and sufficient of the engraving
is detached TO enable the officers TO
determine whether or not the stamp
is counterfeit. The collector Is re
CURED TO keep an account WITH the
rectiiier. and Is not allowed TO issue
rectifer's stamps. 1t will be lmpoS
sible, therefore, for a rectitier 10 get
in bringing the same into his eStab,
lishmeut.

SPECIE REsUMPTIoN.-News from
Washington says that Secretary OF
the Treasury Bristow is preparing his
annual report to Congress, and that
he is for taking decided ground IN
favor of the carrying out to the letter
of the specie resumption act OF the
last session of Congress. The country
at large, by living more economically
and by decreasing It's imports and III
creasing its exports, is gradually pre-
pairing for resumption. There was
balance in our favor in this resp CT
last wear of 100000 That Is dur
ino the wear ending June Both last,
our II imports of foreign goods amounted
10 1888, 100000, and our exports To
1920 900 900, showing balance IN
opr favor of 81, 600, COO. la the pre-
ceding wear cur imports were S999,-
600 600, and our exports S6IO,OGO ,0Oo,
showino, A balance in our favor OF
SIS 600 200. We therefore sold
SCI .0OO, 900 more than we bought IN
1874, and S75,000,GOO, more than we
bought in 1879. If our exports thus
continue to exceed Cur Imports, We
will so strengthen ourselves by January
l, IS79-three years from the first Of
next January-as easily to commence
resumption as the act Of last Congress
provided.

LoUIsIANA.-If Governor Kellogg is
good authority on the matter, Louis
lana is rapidly recovering her CONNER
cial prosperity. The people, he says,
for the first time since the war have
corn to sell. He claims that the
trade and business of New Orleans
will compare favorabIy with any city
in the North. The rich crops of the
present year and the influence Of
renewed trade will have the effect to
allay the political feeling 1t is only
the last ditchers who are disposed
to make any trouble and they are too
small in numbers to have much intiu-
ence. In regard to the Wheeler COM
promise being diSavowed next winter,
he says there are enough conservatives
who have united with the republicans
to keep the compromise intact. Louis
lana has suffered severely at the hands
of plundererS; but the great natural
resources of the State will restore its
prosperity if politics can be made sub
ordinate to business.

ORyILE GRANT has surrendered his
traders licenses for Fort Peck and
Belknap in Montana territory and an
nonnces his inteh lion Of retiring from
the business, saying that there Is no
longer any money to be made there
and that he cannot possibly cover his
losses. This, in the estimation of the
Louisville COwier.JOmndL, is an ex-
ceediugly thin story of brother Orvile-
His retirement from business is I'M
doubtedly due TO the fact that he Is
aware that the lightning is going to
strike him before long, when Indian
affairs in his bailiwick are Investigated,
and he thinks it best TO stand from
under. Orvile has, through his brother
Ulysses, had complete monopoly OF
the Indian trade, which he has used IN
very unsanctifed and tyrannlcaI
way. 1t may be fact that there Is
no longer any money to be made" as
he has made 1t.

MoRE INDICTMENTs.-ThIs Is a hard
wear on official delinquents. They
have had their time all over the coun-
try, in living fast on i'll gotten gains,
but Justice, though symbolized as
blind, has been like an avenger on
their track, and they are dragged
forth, one after another, to answer
before the courts and the bar of pub
lie opinion for their offences. The
work done by Governor Tilden IN
New York is beginning to yield its
fruits. On the Goth ult., no less than
five of the suspected parties were
presented for trial on indictments
before the superior court of Erie coun
tv. The list comprises the names OF
George d. Lord, canal contractor and
late member of the assembly; Alex
ander Barkley, canal commissioner in
1921; Thaddeus {. Davis, canal
appraiser; William II. Bowman, coun-
sellor for George ID. Lord, and J.
Bennett, canal contractor. The World
says that the grand jury which made
the presentment was composed OF the
most respectable men in the State.

REORGANIZATION OF PARTIEs.-The
New York Herald says, the time is
ripe for a reorganization Of political
parties, if there are men bold enough
to accomplish it. Both of our exis-
ting parties have outIived the issues
on which they were founded. Both
are full of internal dissensions. 1t is
high time for a reorganization which
will enable citizens who think alike 10
act together. 1t will be fortunate
for the country if the old carcass can
be buried, and new parties formed on
living issues

PrRe SPECIE BAsIs.-The Chicago
Times deprecates the proposition to substitute
a MIXED currency for the greenbaeh7' ana
combats the prevalent belief that the e1chan-
gas coud not be effected on pure specie
basis. i says paper money Is no more an
absolute necessity with us than it Is IN Calf
fornia. lr Amsterdam, or China There Is
mn more need of increasing the circulating
medium by issuing paper, than of attempting
10 increase the food supply by issuing pine
sbavin.s. or mixing sawdust in our Indian
meal. Any sush addition to the circulating
medium is fraught with mischief, and Is oi
no advantage to any one, excepting the lew
who are enabled by the paper money device
70 draw interests on what they owe. The
fact that the Pacific coast houri-hed on "a
pure specie basis is certainly fact beyond
controversy, nor is it doubtful that the ncro-
ducton of gold notes tends 10 leluce the
available specie in cir culatIon- y pure
spece circulating medium Is certainly the
mos. advantageous 10 all who are pursuing
legitimate business, and especially to the
working classes. There is very little danger
of public robbery 50 long as every dollar IN
circulation represents a specific value 10 the
amount of the cost of Its production

THE CALIFoKNIA LEsSoN.-Looklng on
the great victory IN Ctlitornia-a victory
alike over plnrderin. radicals and pretended
=. in6rnenJrnis the New Orleans Pt7ydA.s

beginning 10 become apparent IN every direc-
tion. The great movement OF the people
against fraud and usurpation vas utterly un-
known sIuc,. the defeat OF the South, but Is
now moving wildly over the land, filling the
hearts o. he voung with hope and touching
the lips of the old with fire. Gov. Booth oc-
cupird the executive chair OF California under
such favorable circumstances that he became
the ruler of 'h,. legislature and a candidate
for the United States Srnatorship. WITH he
defeat of the radical party on the Pacific
coast he has lost all his ambitious hopes
The whole democratic ticket Is elected. lhe
result Of the election means that the hon
est people Of California Tcirct the proposed
third term; that they rebuke President
Grants Southern policy, and especially his
arbitrary despo.ir acts in Louisiana ; that
they condemn he government III the urr OF
public moneys, III H. Indian affairs, IN It's

EYCOURAGINd SlGYS.-ln the city OF
Columbia, South Carolina, where, un-
der the government of carpet.baggerS
and their allies, the people have been
plundered beyond endurance, a move
ment for reform has been commenced,
the most encouraging feature of which
is that it was set on foot by negro
citizens heretofore completely under
the influence OF the white rascals who
have made public robbery their regular
occupation. We learn from the Char
lesion Express that it was the negroes
in Columbia who first came forward
and offered TO co operate with the
whites in a united effort for good
government. In many parts of the
South where the negro element pre-
dominates, the most intelligent of the
negroes, disguised with the villainies
which have been perpetrated by the
carpet.baggers and their contederates,
have Joined hands with the conserva-
tives, in the hope OF thereby ending
the rule of thievery which has so long
prevailed there. In this significant
fact is TO BE seen one of the most en-
couraging signs of tho ;imes.

THE WICKED INDIASs.-lt Is lll'liii"'e1
that the commissioners sent to negotiate Win
the Sioux for the cession Of the BLACK Ilil-S'
consider ,hem,eI7es in danger, the Indians
having exhibited & very unruly spirit and
not evencing the slightest saiisiac'l0h a. 'i''
proposals made % them. II Is lnnocently
stated that {" the peace policy is construed aS
only temporary ca the part OF the govern
nent, while the sziDdling Of agents mas gwen
the Indian, a pcCr opinion Of the faith OF the
rhites" We though, that this Was tOier"-
bly, we'll known before, but 1t "onId seem
that the government thinks It possible 70
keep on sxindIng the indians without
fssailiarizipx tbrm With the kind OF faith
usually employed by their white friends
This is probably mistake, and really We DO
not know that there would be much cause
for blaming the Sioux if they did manifest
the strength Of their disgust by taking few
.calps-especislly if they confined themselves
to the scalps of Indian agents. who require
thinning ont badly. The truth l. that the
proposition made to the Sioux Tor the surren-
der Of the Rlsck Hills is both audacious aud
disingenuous. They do not believe, nor does
it appear probable, tbste them valuable con
serious ip'en they could be cheated into

an Bureau, the Pension and Patent Off oes,

cept those connected with the public servce. :"
This is true, and it is precisely because that

GRAIN-Russia i the Creates grain pro
ducer in tn world. The statistics Of 1870
show that Russia produced 400 600, 900 bush
els of wheat. about oue-eighth OF which vas
exported. The United States produced 2o6,-
O00, ,0G0 bushel. the same year, one-fOur-h OF
which was exported. The wheat production
Of France was about the same; but all was
consumed by her own people These stats
ties say nothing about the immense PrOiuc-
tion Of corn in the United States, the nation
with which comparison Is made producing :
none, or little in amount.

DlFfERENr KINDS OF TEAS.-Oolong
teas are very highly dried, of wiry,
brittle Leaf. and valued according to
degree of strength and punGency, and
freedom from dust. Something's are
the strongest black teas. The leaves
are larger, thin ana often broken The

Congou teas have small, short, grayi>h
black leaves Gnnpowder Is heavy

and in color 4 siivery green. Hysons

themselves, with Swee' aromatic flavor.
Twaukays are known by the large,

LIVE I,sCRANCE.-Remarks were
moIs IN the Convention of insurance
superintendent, held in New York,
by John \. Finch, of Indiana. which
will meet with approval by the public
generally. He said that lie regarded
the contract of the policies one-sided
and unjust 10 their holders, both in
theory and practice. He proposed to
prevent by law the forfeiture of poll
cies; to hold companies responsible
for the representations Of their agents.
and for insurance after accepting risks;
to permit no defence at law for fraud
in the application, after 4 company
has received FIVE annual PAYMENTS
and to impose fine for unsuccesstullv
resisting claim. This is sound doc
trine, and has peculiar emphasis com.
ing from 4 representative Of the insur.
ance companies. Tie object of life
insurance is to secure the amount nam
ed in the policy 10 the heir or heirs of
the insurer. Why should a dollar Of
the amount paid in be liable to forfeit
ure? In contemplation of law, busi-
ness transactions must involve q1tiI
pro 0I0, to be valid. Forfeiture i'm
plies the right TO take a mans money
and give no return for it.

Seryia. Montenegro and Bosnia shows that,
whatever may become of the war, permanent
peace in Turkish Europe can only be es'a0-
lished by CONCESSIONS from the Porte and
proper recognition OF the changes the last
ten years have created. The great Powers
have advised the Porte and SerVian govern
ment to refrain from h4sty action, and if

be had of this quarrel with which both the
parties will be satisfied Anything less than

favor upon Chief Justice Lewis, but now that
they have had an opportunity of witnessing
has faithful and able administration of the

HIM as an ornament 10 the bench and q terror

TIE Louisville Courier Journal,
the ablest Of the Southern papers,
though ike 3 majority of the South
ern democrats outspoken In favor of
hard money, places the success OF the
democratic party and the overthrow
of the republican party above every
other consideration, regardless Of the
principles upon which this shall be &C
complished. That journal, therefore,
SAYS, As goes Ohio, so the South will
go" That if Ohio go for Gov. Allen
by large majority, Allen will be the
democratic nominee for President, or
at least his counterpart in opinions
will be. If Allen be beaten, the
complexion of the Presidential cam
paign will be changed, and Tilden will
rule, upon 3 conservative, non commit
tai platform. The Cincinnati Com
Dlereial, one of the sblest independent
Journals in the country, pronounces the
Ohio initiation movement the most i'm
portant event since the rebellion. But
whatever may be the effects of the
result upon the nation OF the division
of parties, it looks very much at prSs .r,,
ent as if the inflationists wopId oe'i!
Ohio at the State electioH a fortnight
hence and that in consequence they
NAV win Pennsylvania also. II SO,
San3o s..cn man as Allen or Pendleton
or Ohio will likely be the nominee OF

WoULD BE SACRFlCE.-Ihls Is the
Tght in which the New York St0s re-
CARDS the relative Importance of a
cubernatorial and editorial position :
The people of California have just
selected 4 newspaper editor TO be
their governor, in the person OF MIR.
William Irwin, who has conducted
the Yreka Union since 1866. lie IS
a native of Ohio and appears to be a
man Of sense and patriotism, as well
as of sound principles. We turst he
will make a first rate governor and
as the editor of a country newspaper
his ambition to attain that office may
be justified. But if he had been the
conductor of a leading metropolitan
Journal of power and influence, i!
would be a sacrifice for him to assume
an administrative office. 1t is better
to rule in the domain of ideas, rather
than to bear sway III appointments to
office, in pardons and i'll yetoes.
