whisky product from the year 1863 to
1870, both included, and deduces the fact
that such product could not have been
less than ,1S4,Oo0,O0O gallons, which
should have paid a tax OF $1.559, 400, 900.
But according to crooked manipulations
and the crooked returns OF the internal
revenue agents, the pretended product
for the eight years amounted to only
299. s90,523 gallons, and the revenue
therefrom to but $1s9, ,O61 100, showing
direct loss to the Government Of 81. .37O.-
1873, ,21O-an enormous sum, when the
full significance OF the figures Ia fairly
estimated.
1t Is legitimate conclusion OF pOlit-
cal economy that, In all such cases. the
consumer pays the tax, for the tax. as
well as the original cost Of articles, Is
counted In all trade transactions, until
consumption closes the account. This
enormous tax has therefore been paid In
full by consumers, but IL found It's way
into crooked pockets between the con-
sumers and the Treasury, and the sum
thus lost to the Government exceeds to
a considerable extent the. revenue de-
rived from oil other sources.
That the whisky frauds were first
suggested by the agents of the Govern
ment, and their willingness to violate
their oaths and share the profits proved
q temptation which the producers could
not withstand, Is O conclusion to which
all available currents of testimony tend.
aud when the crooked business was
fairly inaugurated in one section, all
competing sections were forced to adopt
it, or abandon the business as upproft~
able. Thus 1t cana about that the
whisky rings were extended through
the corrupt greed OF Government off,
cials, and from the stealings OF the rings
no less than 10000 men might have
pocketed $137, 900 each and had some
thing yet to spare! si50,OO0,000 q year
went into the pockets OF the conspira-
tors, which is more than the estimated
cost OF our entire educational system
for year.
These are matters the whole respon-
sibility Of which rests on the Rspub-
loan officials. They can be changed
only through complete change OF
measures and OF men. "If." as Mr..
6inkley says, "the magnitude Of these
frauds on the people could once be fully
realized, there would be no more poli-
tics in the remedy than there Is politics
in cholera mixture. A Republican
would hasten the destruction OF his
party as an owner hastens to shoot his
own dog as soon as he finds him pos
sessed OF the demon OF hydrophobis
and raging at large in the community"

GEN. NICHOLAS RESPONSE.

Editor Democrat--The Sunday sBulle-
tin, on this subject, says. 1T seems to
be generally understood that the State
Central Committee Is now In possession
OF letter from Gen. Nichols referring
Mr.. Packards proposition to. them for
consideration and reply but tintimating
ut the same tim8 the writer's personal
objection to the arrangement, and then
goes on To express Its unfeigned regrets,
by a very large majority OF the think
ing people Of this State" No thinking
person" according to the Bulletin pas
sim, can ever differ from it-and con-
cludes inevitably, by "yenturing to pro-
phesy" that as the light which always
leads on the bulletin Ia light that
never was on sea or land"-breaks on
the darkness Of the popular mind, It
will see this question by the bulletins
lamps, and be sorry that the iilumina-
tion did not dawn on 1t sooner.
Now. we have no objection to the
Butletin's 8 criticism 1t Is always critical,
or it would be nothing. Nor to It's PEN
etration; 1t is universally conceded that
it can see through q milestone. Nor to
it's dogimatism; the Bulletin is Sir Ora
Gle himself, and when it opens its mouth
let no mans dog bark. Nor to its as
sumption for it Is notorious that the
Bulletin is the people, and IL, unhappily,
it were to dash taadly from it's sphere
and beeoms. like the. lost Pleiadz wis
dom, we admit, would perish with it.
But why will the Bulletin 1--WE ask for in
formation) always be SO prophetic? Has
the Butietin read Gen. Nicholl's letter?
Has the Bulletin been taken into the
council OF the Central COMMITTEES? We
have thus far failed TO find the man, in
d pretty wide conversation, who does not
regard Mr. Packard's invitation as an
ambuscade; examined by the light OF
Mr. Packard's 8 past, utterly false and
insincere; judged by all experience OF
human nature, certain to bring about
the every evils it affects to condemn aud
deplore; and read between the lines
with the magnifier OF Antoine's answer
TO Mr.. Patton, a "taockery, u delusion
and snare" Roundabout" will tell
the B,dletin who the quotation Is from
II he will apply to that rival Pythonist.)
And ''We have thus far failed to find the
man" who has not more confidence in
the sober judgment of our excellent
Central Committee than In any one
mans dictum.
ONE OF THE FEEBLE MINDED.

REPUBLICAN PLUNDERINGS.

In March last Senator Gordon, OF
Georgia, stated on the floor Of the Sen
ate that. according to his calculations
on the subject, there had been, up to
that time, fully thousand millions OF
dollars stolen from the Government in
the internal revenue tax on q single
product of the country-whisky. With
a view of testing the accuracy OF this
statement, the Hon. John NJ. Binkley.
Assistant Attorney General OF the
United States under President Johnson,
concluded to look into the matter. He
found it difficult to believe that in the
worlds greatest republic, among peo-
ple who claim to be intelligent, self
governing and progressive, enough OF
internal revenue was lost after 1t left
the citizen and before it reached the
treasury to pay half Of the national
debt; and enough indirectly and cor
ruptly expended from what was really
received into the treasury to pay the
other half. But the figures and facts by
which he was confronted led to the dis
agreeable conclusion that the half had
not been told.
Overlooking all other kinds OF fraud
with which the Grant administration
and the trusted officials Of the Republi-
can party have been so seriously identi'
fed, Mr.. Binkley confined his attention
to the whisky frauds. which were rend-
cred possible through the corrupt com
plicity and avaricious greed OF the Gov
ernment's own agents.
The increase in the production o
whisky for the decade between 1850 ane
1860 amounted to over 100000 gallons
per annum, and when the system OF in
ternal revenue taxation was adopted IL
1862, this annual ratio OF increase wa
counted on. It was not till 1863 that thu
system was put fairly into operation
Then the tax was but twenty cents pc
gallon. In 1864 it was raised to 81 so pc
gallon, and during the four following
years it was % per gallon. but in 1863 !
was reduced to Atty cents per gallon.
Now in this connection Mr.. Binkle.
furnishes a table showing the rea

Col. Isaac N. Patton. President OF the
Democratic State Central Committee,
appeared in the United States Circuit
Court this morning and filed the neces-
sary application for the appointment of
the Supervisors of election on behalf OF
the Democratic party. The gentlemen
to represent the Democratic party have
already been chosen, but as their names
have not yet been submitted to the
Radical State Central Committee for
their approval, no appointments have
been made. The necessary formalities
will probably be completed to-day and

In the rear OF the Seventh Ward, In
the vicinity of Kerlerec and Derbigny
streets, on Sundays, there are three or
four places were the colored people con-
gregate to witness crude minstrel per
formances ut dime head. One OF
these Is kept by colored man named
Victor Betancourt, . cripple, who has
nearly lost his sight. and by this means
and the sale CT cakes and Lemonade,
manages to exc out a livelihood.
On Saturday night Betancourt, who
has joined the Central Democratic Club
OF the Seventh Ward, turned out with
them, and while In the procession heard
himself soundly abused by policeman
standing at the corner OF Claiborne and
paid no attention. The next day,
being informed that his min
strel performances would be dis
continued. he called on Capt Joseph,
commanding the Fifth Precinct and
who had authorized him to carry on his
business, and was told by Joseph that
all these establishments would have to
be closed up because he (Joseph( had no
power to permit them to remain open.
Nevertheless, on the same night, Sun
day, all were in full blast, with the OK
ception Of Betancourt's. .~~s
To cap the climax. on returning home
last night about half-past ten O'Clock,
on the bridge over the Claiborne
canal al Kerlerec street, Betan-
court was assailed by three. negroes
armed with sticks, who abused him for
being Democrat and beat him on the
face and head, making blood flow free
ly. Betancourt, who is plucky, finally
succeeded, however, in routing his as
sailants, and policeman came wheh
MA services were not needed. The mat
ter has been laid before the Parish Com

GEN. NICHOLAS AND BOSS PACKARD.

The DEMOCRAT has suggested that
Gen. Nichols should only accept the
invitation Of Packard to canvass the
State with him upon these conditions,
that Packard has the troops Withdrawn
from the State that the Democrats and
Conservatives are accorded an equal
representation in the Returning Board
and fair representation in the Offices
of registration, and finally, that it be
agreed that after the election the votes
shall be counted at the polling places,
in public, and the results announced
there.
Upon any other terms than these we
L-r ~~s t-,io~+r- .ts~+ C--s NiohoiI ar.
the State Central Committee, II he shall
refer the matter to that body, will de-
cline the proposition. The present po-
sition OF Mr.. Packard and his party to-
ward the Democratic Conservative
people OF Louisiana is that OF pub
lie enemies. To such we cannot
accord the rights and courtesies. OF
fair. honorable and friendly po-
litical opponents. The acceptance OF
Packard's proposition upon any other
conditions than those specified by the
DEMOCRAT, will simply give him
social and political recognition,
| which he and his party desire,
and which we cannot afford to ac-
cord without compensating advan-
tages. It was to obtain this recognition
that Packard, the dragoonader OF our
people, the official who sent out his
deputies with thousands OF blank
warrants to arrest our citizens, hand
cuff them, drag them from their homes
and incarcerate them in prisons, made
his extraordinary and impudent propo-
sition. The terms we propose as
a condition of acceptance are fair and
lust, and IL they are offered, and rejected
by Packard, let the fact be published
throughout the Republic, that it may be
known that the power which the Presi-
dent has established In Louisiana re-
fuses fully one half Of the people equal
and just rights, under the laws OF the
State. bad as those laws are; that that
power refuses one half the people free
and fair election.
The only argument we have heard ad.
vanced in favor Of accepting the propo'
sition OF Packard's is, that he will bring
out the negroes to the meetings, and
thus give Gen. Nichols an opportunity
:. to talk to them. II the negroes have
Thrown off the influence OF the carpet
baggers, they will swarm out to hear
Gen. Nichols and the other Democratic
Conservative candidates without the
presence OF Mr.. Packard. II they have
not. Packard and Company will never
give Gen. Nichols an opportunity tt
address them unless it be to bring on 6
riot.
We saw how joint canvass between
Radicals and Anti Radicals worked In

manv Joint discussions in that canvass
but however influential the Radica
speakers were who attended the join
