LOCAL OPTION AND STATE
REEEKVE

The discussion on the Local Option
bill opens in the House to-day. A
strong pressure has been brought to
bear in favor OF the measure by the
friends Of temperance reform, who viii
watch its progress with much interest.
It seems difficult to determine whether
Reinforcement looking toprohibitory leg
islation on this subject has gained any
real strength during the past twoyears,
or whether thepresent General Assem-
bly, is as strongly committed as that Of
1873 to such a policy. The necessities
of the State government are 50 press
ing sust now, that the question Is
viewed more from a financial than a
moral point of view, by most members
Of the General Assembly. Perhaps 1t
= not generally known-thOugh never
theless. true-that the finer qualities Of
whisky consumed IN the United States
more than one-half is manufactured IN
Tennessee and Kentucky, and that
nearly oRe.fftb Of the revenue Of these
two States is derived, directly or indi-
rectly. from that particular industry
and branch Of trade. Upon eXamina-
ton of the report Of Comptroller
Burch. we find that the amount report
ed by collectors of privilege taxes
from Oct. 1, 1872. to Oct. l, 1874,
was S642. 9I7.O4, and the itemized &C
count shows that SOL, 1884 was re-
ceiyed from retail liquor dealers alone.
The County Court Clerk of Davidson
county estimates the amount received
from the same source, for county pur-
Noses, at S67,l4l.3l, and that by the
c,rno,.ation of Nashville at $1,000.
Anv legislation that affects the re-
tail dealer affects correspOndingly the
wboIesale merchant and manufacturer,
and directly through the latter,the far
mer who produces the corn, the cooper,
.s+ave.splitter, the artisan and the Ia
borers necessarily employed. The
County Court Clerk estimates the
amount Of tax paid by liquor
merchants in Davidson county alone,
for State and coInty purposes, at
500 600. Assuming that the loss OF
ravenu.> from merchants and manufac-
turers ca ,1als the amount received from
retail dealer :, it is natural that the
taxpayer should feel some anxiety as
n what other industry or branch OF
trade is to be burthGQed with the de-
ficiency.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Immedia tely
after the reading of the journal, the House
went into Committee of the Whole on the
revenue bill. The first vote was on Mr..
SOuthWard's amendment as amended by
the amendment Of Mr.. Cox, to strike out
all of the first section Of the bill which re-
lates to the tax on whisky. The amend
ment was lost, ca voting in the affirmative
and SO in the negative.
Mr.. Randall then moved to strike out one
dollar in the first section, and insert 80
cents, so that the tax on whisky should be
80 cents. The amendment was lost, 63
voting in the affirmative and IS in the neg
alive.
Mr.. Banning moved to strike out of the
proviso in the first section the 'tstOck on
hand"
Mr.. Dawes explained that the effect of
striking ont the provisO would be to tax
that on hand one dollar.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr.. KassOn offered an amendment. on
behalf Of the committee, providing that the
tax on spirits contracted to be delivered be-
fore the 10th of February shall be paid by
the purchaser. Adopted.
Mr.. Archer, of Maryland, moved to strike
out the enacting clause. LOst-yeas 3d.
nays IS.
Finally, the first section was allowed to
stand so far as the whisky tax is concerned.
The second section, providing for increas-
ing the tax on tobacco, was read and
gave rise to long debate. Various amend
ments looking to reduction Of duty were
offered and rejected. The principal amend
mentsadopted were, first, an amendment
in regard to contracts, similar in its pro-
visions to that relative to whisky in the
first section, and second, an amendment
increasing the tax on cigars which now
nav a s. tax to Sc, and cigarettes are raised
from $50 to 1913. st two o'clock the

LONDON, Jan. 1S-At the opening Of
tO-day's session Of the House of Commons,
DR.. Kenaly, newly elected member from
StOke-on-T Trent, entered alone. The
Speaker requested him 70 withdraw, be-
cause for zoo years it had been the custom
for new member to have two introducers.
Messrs. John Bright and Whalley then Of
Tered to accompany the new member In
that capacity, but on motion of Mr.. Disraeli,
the custom was dispensed with in this
case. The House proceeded to the consid-
Grafton Of the election Of John Mitchell TO
Parliament from the county Of TipperaTy.
Mr.. Disraeli moved a resolve, Of which
he gave notice last Monday, declaring MIR.
Mitchell ineligible, because he was con-
victed felOn.
O'Shaughnessy, member for Limerick,
moved that debate be postponed in order to
give Mitehell's friends time to consider the
peculiar circumstances and determine what
course to pursue.
Sir Richard Bagally, Attorney General,
confessed that he had not had sufficient
time to consider all the legal aspects Of the
case, but argued that Mitchell was liable TO
arrest and disqualified to hold a seat in
Idrlldutubs
Sir VIM. Vernon HarcOurt said the
doubts expressed by the Attorney General
showed that delay in this matter was desir-
able. A mistake would entail the grayest
consequences.
Mr.. Martin, an Irish member and Home
Ruler, declared himself responsible for
AIitchelis escape.
Having been consulted in regard to its
legality, the Marquis Of Harrington thought
after the admissions Of the Attorney Gen
eral, it would be more dignifed 10 refer
the question to a select COMMITTEES.
Disraeli ridiculed the reference Of this
question to a committee. The House, he
said, must decide it with prOmptitude, and
not show such ignorance Of its privileges as
to allow a convicted felOn to sit within its
halls.
The motion to postpone debate was re-
jectsd-102 yeas TO 269 nays.
A motion to refer the subject to a COM
mittee was negatiVed and Disraeli's resOlu-
ton was adopted without a division Of the
House.
a motion for a new writ Of election in
the county Of Tipperary followed, and was
carried without division.

GRANTS RESIGNATION.
Half a Million Dollars subscription
Suggested 90 Pay the Salary ana
EmOIuments Of Three Terms.
To the New York Herald.

You certainly express very singular views
as regards the resignation Of our worthy
President, and must be either very dull
yourselves or think him so. He can not
afford to resign with so large a family to
look after and provide for. 1t is necessary
that he have all the pecuniary advantages
his position can possibly afford. Il may
be considered IS to some extent neglect
inc his official duties you should excuse
him on the ground Of pressing family en-
gagements.
Now, you are great on "dOllar subscrip-
tions," and propose that you put one on
foot to raise a half million dollars, which
would about pay his salary for the unex-
pired term Of his Office-Of course, inelud-
ing the third term to which he is Justly
entitled. Do this, and, take my word for 1t,
YOU can get resignation, abdicatoin, or
anything else you may require.
No one should be allowed to subscribe
more than one dollar, thus affOrding to
large number of grateful people an oppor-
tunity of contributing to the support OF
worthy family and making glad the heart
Of the benefactOr Of their country. y. I.
