ordinary crime Of smuggling, which OK.
lists In all parts OF the world, and no.
where more, perhaps, than In this coun.
try. 1t Ii asserted, for instance. that
more cigars are struggled into New York
than are imported even into this city,
which is SO large consumer and dis
tributer OF the weed. We have no doubt
that q clever detective IL allowed an In
terest lii the seizures OF cigars which he
might make at New York, would soon
be able to subscribe handsomely to
Mr.. Sherman's new bonds. But profes.
sional smuggling Is vulgar crime, and
Its commission has no more signifl-
canoe than the commission of any
other crime. What we wished to draw
attention to, as illustrating our theme
of the decentralization of the times. lie
the common practice which prevails
among gentlemen and ladies in the
highest walks OF social life Of deliber-
ately cheating the government out OF Its
dues. and this apparently without the
slightest soruple or twinge OF conscience.
The ladies find an excuse for
their violation or evasion OF the law In
the fact that taxation without repre-
sentation is tyranny" to which no free
American should submit, but 1t Is diff
cult to see what justification their lords
and masters can find unless, like Adam,
they seek immunity In the plea that the
women tempted them"
In this connection we call to mind an
anecdote which Is related OF a we'll
known legislator and large planter OF
this part of the country. On his return
from visit to Europe some years ago,
believing In the rigid integrity OF the
New York customs officials, he paid
every dollar Of the duty imposed by law
upon the numerous and valuable arti-
Giles with which he had filled his trunks.
He was heartily laughed at by some Of
his more experienced companions who,
for small sum Of money judiciously
distributed where IL would do the most
good-among the inspectors all Of
their goods in free of duty. The next
time he returned from trip to Europe
be acted upon the suggestions Of
his former experience. On his
arrival at the New York Custom House
he threw open his we'll filled trunk with
no little ostentation. as If counting In
vestigation, and slyly placed a twenty
dollar gold piece on the tray Of one.
The stern-looking inspector came; the
glitter Of the gold caught his eye; he
gathered In the precious metal with
a turn Of his wrist that would
have delighted Herman, the wiz
ard, and proceeded to chalk the
trunks with admirable dexterity.
A little six year old boy of the distin-
guished smuggler, who had been closely
observant or the whole proceeding,
created momentary panic by exolaim-
ing, In an uncomfortably loud voice,
"Ohl look, Pa, that man is stealing
your money!
The interest taken in that observant
youth for the next few moments gave
the little fellow an exalted idea Of his
Importance.

Pardons i'm Illinois.

Gov. Cullom. of Illinois, intends to
revolutionize the system of pardoning.
He has adopted q rule requiring that
notice be given by publication for three
weeks. in newspaper published in the
county where conviction was had, Of in
tention to make application for a par
don. The notice must set forth the
name Of the convicted party, at what
time convicted and the nature Of the
offense. A statement Of the judge and
prosecuting attorney trying the case
must accompany the application. il the
same can be procured, and IL not, the
reason for not procuring it must be
stated.

NATIONAL DECENTRALIZATION.

IL ts trite, but none the less true,
saying that one Of the worst evils oil
war Is the general decentralization which
1t engenders, particularly among the
leaders and masses OF the victorious ma
tion or faction. This IL owing. no doubt,
to the reckless disregard of legal and
other restraints which characterizes
military men and methods, and to the
contempt with which a people, flushed
with triumphs won through brute
force, regard such mere moral agencies
as laws and constitutions, which are
designed for the protection Of the weak,
but cannot be enforced against the
strong. But whatever be the caNse, II
is a universally recognized fact tina,
wars do engender decentralization even
among the best classes OF the commu-
nifty. Perhaps no more striking illus
tration of this fact can be found than
the almost universal practice of de-
frauding the government In the matter
Of the national income tax which
prevailed among the weather.
classes who were subject to that
tax. but could not be induced to make
true returns. This practice became so
general that universal cry went up for
the repeal OF the tax, because of the
public scandal which its persistent eva
sion created, and in order to remove
what came to be regarded as an incen-
tive to perjury and fruitful source of
public corruption.
The habit OF making false returns OF
income was so common and was visited
with such mild reprobation by public
opinion, that very few persons were
much shocked at the charge made last
year against Mr.. Tilden by the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue of hay
Ing at one time presented to the gov
eminent tax collector false statement
OF his annual earnings, and, at other
times, RETAINED from making any re-
turns at all, with a view to de-
frauding the government. The de-
tense which Mr.. Tilden published
against this charge was perfectly salts
factory to all unpreiudiced persons, but
the mere fact that so eminent and so
conspicuously q pure man as he could
be accused OF such an offense, without
the public mind being shocked by the
suggestion Of his guilt, is sufficient to
show with what indifference such in.
fractions of law had come to be regarded
and how effectually the edge Of the ma.
tion's sense of morality had been
hlunted.
Another illustration Of the remarkable
laxity of moral principle which was en-
gendered by the late war is found In the
readiness with which men Of position
and culture, otherwise distinguished for
honor and purity OF character, have,
since the war. adopted the practice oil
defrauding the government out of the
duties imposed by law upon the goods
which they bring with them from
foreign lands, We do net refer to the
