The County Commissioners, last
week, replaced glass in the Court
House windows. They also replaced
glass in the Jail windows. This last
act should have been attended to
earlier; it would have cost no more
to replace the glass last fall than
now; and besides the prisoners, who
have suffered, no doubt, unnecessary
cold, would have been thankful for
this little act Of humanity. Court
however, is near at hand and every
thing should be in good order.

The Liquor Tax.

The wine and spirit traders society of the
United States claims that after fourteen
years experience the government fails in
collecting all the revenue from domestic
spirits, and that no serious fraud has been
committed in q licensed distillery without
the active participation of two or more
officials. The remedy of multiplied penal
ties they declare has been exhausted. To
remedy this it is proposed to create. an In
ternsl revenue collection system, with Off
cals holding Office during efficiency and
good behavior. The bill also provides for
a reduction of the tax from Its present rate
to that of SOC per proof gallon. The expe-
rience of the four years from July, 1864, to
July, 1868, showed with a tax of Sl.50
during six months, and So during the re-
naming three and half year, an average
yearly income of S2l, 727, 4oS, and that of
the six and a half years from July, 1868, to
January, 1875 with tax practically at
roc, an average yearly income Of $27, $780,
$50, thus showing a surplus of nearly So
500, 900 annually in favor Of the lower rate,
in spite of the fact that the volume of bust
ness was VIGOROUSLY very much greater
during the years when the higher tax pre-
vailed.

The Charge against Mr.. R. H. Dana.

The charge of literary piracy against the
Hon. Richard II. Dana, jr. grew out of
his having superseded Mr.. William Beach
Lawrence rs editor of "Wheaton's Ele-

Ecening Transcript has the following state
ment of the case "The whole claim of
Mr.. Lawrence rests on the question wheth-
err Mr.. Dana had the right to cite the same
authorities on given topic that Mr.. Law
renee did, and at the same place. In rem
dering his decision, Judge Clifford decided
some points in favor of both parties, laid
down the principles of law applicable to
the case, and referred the whole matter to
Hon. Henry W. Paine to report upon the
annotauons Mr.. Lawrence never obtained
an injunction, the whole edition has been
sold and the parties are thinking of getting
out another. The questions involved are
purely of a private nature, relating to a
contract which Mr.. Lawrence alleges was
made with him by the Wheatons, with
which Mr.. Dana had nothing to do. Mr..
Dana is hut one of the parties to the suit,
which must, from the nature of things, Ill
timately be decided by the United States
supreme court, and go issues are involved
which impair his fitness for the position TO
which he has been nominated"
