Sixteen years have passed away, andF yet
the Democratic party, in soul, purpose, and
policy, IS the same as when under Buchanan
it left the country crumblihg into anarchy,
part warning against it ald a part voting
against it, and both factions teaching that
our country was a mere confederation of
States, too weak to enforce itsown laws,
without power to protect its life, and sub
ject to the veto of any State that chose to
withdraw from its power. So declared Sem
ator Sherman at Mirietta, Ohio, a few days
ago; and yet that party asks the people to
restore it to power, and give itlfull control Of
the Federal Government. -
Ii Lamar proposes TO turn over the custody
and management of the Government to a
party which has persistently resisted the
great changes and progress OF the last fifteen
years. He would turn back the wheels of
Government and re-estab lish the Democra-
tic policies OF the daste-6eltataa period, and re-
store practically the bondage OF the four mil
lions of citizens whose chains have been
broken through Republican emancipation.
Are the people prepared toEaaopt tile Demo-
cratic policy as expressed in the session of
Congress just closed? '- 10"
1t has been definitely decided by the Ohio
Democratic State Central Committee, after
due deliberation and mature consideration,
though not without strong opposition from a
minority of the committee, to accept the
proffer of $3.50, 900 from New York and Phil
adelphia, and use the money for the pur-
chase OF votes in Ohio at the October cleo
ton. The Cleveland Leader make this state

sible for itstrutlG 4I "A. x w la "
+, ssThe facts,'''' says the New York Times,
are briefly these, that for the ten years from
1862 to 1872 the average annual Income Of
Mr.. Tilden was certainly not less than
$50, Oe0; that during the same, period he paid
tax on an average annual income Of only
SIS, 600; and that, therefore, making a liber-
al deduction for expenses, etc, he must be
indebted to the Government for the unpaid
tax on at least quarter of a million of dol

GAUGING LIQUORS CHANGE OF THE
LAVA clause in the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, approved on
the 18th nit, provides for the repeal of sec
lions 1921 and 1928 of the revised statutes
SO far as they relate to wholesale liquor
dealers packages filled on the premises of
such dealers, from and after ten days after
the approval Of the act, which expired on the
18th. These sections declare that whenever
any cask or package of distilled spirits of
not less than five wine gallons is filled for
shipment, sale or delivery on the premises
of any wholesale liquor dealer, it shall be the
duty Of the United States gauger to gauge
and inspect the same and place thereon an
engraved stamp, etc. Also that all distilled
spirits drawn from any cask or package and
placed in any other cask Or package contain
ing not less than ten gallons, and intended
for sale, shall be again inspected and gagged,
marked with the name of the gauger, place
of business of the dealer or rectifier, etc.
The repeal of these sections was for the
purpose Of reducing the work Of internal
revenue gaugers, and thus decrease the num-
Der of such officers.
