Another Omission.

The Mount Vernon Ills Ne,oS thinks
tn at if the Republican press has finished
hauling COL w. R. Morrison over the
Goals on account Of the omission of his
military record from the congressional
directory, plenty of material for loyal wrath
and indignation might be found in Sena-
tor Logans case. The NeaoS says:
"Read his biography from preface TO
seeker after the incidents of personal
nection with the Southern Illinois Legion,
body of men that Mr. Logan intended to
lead the into ranks of the confederate army
and assist in the destruction OF Lincoln
hirelings. Neither do we find that Mr.. Lo'
gan has given his biographer the circum
stance of his exploit at Big Muddy bridge.
where these same Lincoln hirelings' were
to be intercepted and turned back by the
flaming sword ofthe gallant John, from their
march to the defence of the Union. And
again. there is little incident at McLeans-
boro, when Logan became so Disguised with
the stars and stripes that he refused to
speak until they were hauled down-none,
not one of these important events in the
life of the great Logan is written down
by the biographer. And we might still
further mention the remarkable omission
on the part Of some one-we do not say
that it was Logan himself-of his speeches
at Benton, Marion, Pinckneyville
Murphysboro and other Southern Illinois
towns. where he was all-powerful-ius
previous to and during the first months o.
the late distressing unpleasantness
These speeches were models Of fre-eatine
secession, and would furnish the best o
reading for the most ultra rebel or mos
abandoned bushwacker, Why is thi
thus?"
This is thus because our Republican
friends have a chronic dislike to "open olt
sores" when these sores happen to be oil
their own body polite. Had logan re
manned Democrat he never would hay
heard the last of his brilliant performance
on the banks Of the Big Muddy and else
where; but having turned his coat just i
the nick of time, all his sins are forgiven
him, and the Republicans would fan con
sign his record in the early months Of 1876
to the sponge of kindly oblivion 1.-THE Con
gressional Directory told the whole stor
Of Logan's devotion of the Union, it woul
make mighty interesting reading"

Smoking in the Barn.

'No smoking ought to be posted on
every barn. There is not much difference
between having horse-thief around the
stables and man cleaning off horses and
tending cattle with pipe in his mouth :;
and there is no hired man much meaner
than the one who, when his employer
comes round, slips his pipe into his pocket
little bird. All such fellows should be
paid off, started off, and kept off. As for
the farmer himself going into the barn
with pipe in his mouth, no complaint can
be made; but if his establishment burns
up, nobody should ely, unless it be the
wife and children. Lightning and incen-
diaries and spontaneous combustion COM
bined, do not cause SO many barns to be
burned as the filthy practice of smoking.

United States paid fraction over $l9,-
O00, 900 tax on tea and coffee. and that
the whole of that tax went into the
Treasury; that in the same time they paid
oyer $70,000,000 tax on cotton goods. of
which only 10 cents on the dollar was paid
into the Treasury,-the other 90 cents on
the dollar having been special bounty
The tax on tea and coffee is a tax for
revenue, and the tax on cottons a tax for
protection.
By repeating the tax on tea and coffee
congress reduced taxation just $l9,000,-
600, and reduced revenue precisely to the
same amount. Now, had congress re-
pealed the entire duty on cotton goods, it
would have reduced taxation $4,000, 900
and reduced revenue only $l0,000,000.
There are other things as sacred as tea
and coffee, and quite as indispensable for
human comfort We have referred al
ready to the articles of sugar and molasses,
| from which the government collects twice
as much revenue as it does from tea and
coffee combined. There are persons in the
country outside of congress who wear shirts
and other under clothing of cotton as vel
as of wool, and who, if reduced to the al.
tentative of dispensing with them or with
tea and coffee, would prefer to give up the
latter. Boots and shoes are also as ''sa
cred and as essential to human comfor,
as tea and coffee, and yet all these articles
as we'll as every description of clothing
are taxed excessively, not for revenue, bu
on the partnership plan Of 10 cents to til,
l government and 80 cents to support tht
protected paupers. In the face of thes;
notorious facts there will be men in con
gress who will object to a purely reyenu
tax Of ten to twenty millions Of dollars OIL
tea and coffee, but who will insist on re
tanning taxes to the amount of two or thre
hundred millions on clothing and other in
dispensable necessities from which tn
government will not receive more thai
twenty to forty millions 10 revenue. Thes
men talk Of free breakfasts with NOR
taxes on the contents of the breakfast
table than are tolerated in any other civil
lzed country.

LOTTERIES AT FAIRS.

Now that public attention has been direc
ted to the sad fruits of the Montpelier Lot
terry scheme, and whilst the moral influence
of the Lottery for the benefit of Southern
Widows and Orphans is undergoing inVesli-
CATION, it may be a suitable time to get the
ear of some good people, as to very perni-
cious practice, that not only clothes itself in
the gsrb of charity, ike the above, but even
takes shelter under the wing Of the Church.
We speak of tie practice, not universal, yet
common, Of having miniature lotteries and
rallies at church fairs.
An article is not found salable at the price
SCI upon it, either because those present can
not afford, or DO not choose to give the price
asked. 1t is then proposed to ''rafle it Of, "
and number are found willing to pay a
snail sum for TIE chance Of getting the valua
bic article. Now this involves the whole
principle of the lottery; it is the hazard Of
a small amount of money in hope of drawing
a large amount. If these various forms Of
lottery schemes that prevail at fairg, con-
Quoted by pious ladies, thus receive the quas;
approval of the Church, will i: be strange if
those nurtured there, should go forth into
the world and put in practice, On a larger
and more ruiuous scale, the lessons they
have been taught By these good " mothers
in Israel 2" To the extent tee practice pre-
walls fairs become nursery beds for lottery
plants. We may expect their fruits to abound.
The evils of open lotteries are so manifest
that in our State, and in most States of the
Union, they are prevented BY law But the
principle Of the lottery lies, not even son
cealed, in the humane associations" the.
gift concerts, the " presents" distributed at
exhibitions, and the chances taken for
