POLITICS.
FCincinnati Telegraph. ]

Politics are necessary because society
necessary. Nations exist, and exist by God
will as the means of promoting mans natu-
raj happiness. To accomplish this il is
necessary tb at the nation should be govern
ed, that it's internal affairs and its relations
with foreign States should tend to the
safety, peace, and prosperity Of it's citizens.
Politics is the science which lays down and
applies to particular cases the principles of
ethics by which this end is to be attain
ed. A nation, if 1t is to live aud prosper,
muet be governed IstIy, that is, according
of God. Mere expediency, it should be
remembered in these trying times, as O rule
OF political action, is unworthy of gentle
man and statesman, because it is mean
ness-becanse it is ain. The maxim, "CuF
party, right or wrong" is deteetao Die,
rninous maxim. We are to stand by our
is on it's side bat WHEN IL is wrong, we
are to cut loose from it, because thsn the
devil is its leader. He is no true patnut
who abets national injustice; he is his
conniry's eneiny, because be IejDices at
seeing her enter ap0n q course which soon
er or later wtii bGlng down on her guilty
head tue ftghtntngs of Gods just wrath. -
Do our political writer's at the present
hour rene mber this Have they an eye
single to the nations good, national jus
tice and hoGcr, or do they not rather cast
a longing gaZ3 at the loRves ard fishes OF

expect to be elected on the ground of their
opposition to the Moffet register.
WHAT IS EFFECTED.

WHAT IS EXPECTED.
What the register is expected to do ia
given in the following estimate: {.
Last year the whole amount paid by all
the liquor merchants of the State into the
Treasury was $ls7 900. Richmond liquor
merchants paid $4,000. Say that a man
sells per day sixty drinks of spirituous
liquors (tax on same $l.50) or forty drinks
spirituous liquors and 100 of malt (tax on
the two 50j his tax per annum so 365
would be $54S. Three hundred and fifty
dealers averaging that amount would make
total of $I9l 800 per annum for Richmond d
Add to that $50, 900 for specific licences
and taxes not collectable by the register,
and the aggregate would be $2I1 800.
o. dinarily Richmond pays one fifth of the
liquor tax of the State. There is in this
Case reason to suspect that the law will not
be as rigidly enforced elsewhere as in Rich
mond, therefore she says we will pay one
fourth OF the whole amaunt, and we have
an tire amount for the State of $500 600
per annum.
The above estimate is q very low one
The dealer that doesn't sell So worth Of
liquor per day can't keep agoing. The
receipts Of many are five times this SUM-
The estimate, therefore, makes liberal, even
extravagant, allowance for "leakage :" for
tire esFArooms and stores that do not keep
open on Sundays, for nasy small establish
meuts that do not sell malt liquor, and-tor
the reduced tax the retail dealers paw.
"Richmond, Sept, 16, 1s77.-An inspec-
tlon of the Motfot registers in twenty four
leading eatoens- mp tt, midnight y yesterday
shows paid tax on alcoholic and malt
drinks Of about $3.50 for the four days the
registers have been in operation"
REVENUE TO THE STATE.
a calculation based upon this exhibit
shows that in the $50 place where liauor
is sold the revenue to the S5ate from Rich
mond would be about one hundred thou
sand dollars p&T annum, and In the State
about half g million. This will insure the
Motfet register us q permanent tax-payipg
institution.
The barEeepers are still bitterly opposed
TO the register, notwithstarG G ng the fact
that the tsx comes out of tho consumer,
upon whom they have raised tho prices.
'E6eir objections that the Moffet law
Imposes the duty of collecting the taxes
npon them, which no other class CT husi-
ness men ever are subjected to, that it occu-
pies their tine withOut compensation, and
that it exposes their busp ess to the pu bic,
A further hearing as to the legality of
the patent for the register will be had in
the United States Circuit Court next month
If the barkeepers are no3 successful in de-
feating it, then the matter will be contested
10 the State courts, and vigorous fight
will be made against the register in the
Legislature when it meets. So far Rich
mond is the only city in the commonwealth
where the registers have been put in oper-
alton. 1t will be some time yet before the
State can be supplied, and this general
exemption from the liquor tax gives rise to
serious complaint in Richmond, where it
has to be paid.
