The MoHett Register.

st. Louis has fallen in love with the regis
ter OF our fellow-citizen, DR.. MoFPETr. st.
Louis investigated the register, and in
statesman-like style considered the tax on
drinks. An enlightened committee OF, its
city legislature having gone through this
sort OF Investigation made report, which
was unanimously adopted.
1t was decided that the register was u
proper mechanical mode OF registering
drinks, and twas decided that taxation Of
drinks was good mode OF taxation-one
that would bear lightly upon the commu-
nifty, because it fell upon u luxury, and
was voluntary. No man need drink J. it is
only to crafty passion, not necessity,
that men drink. Therefore the tax upon
drinks is q tax that cannot Cypress the COM
mnnity, and may be borne without annoy
ance. IS Ill 81
This view which we have taken here, and
others that are alike practical and wise, were
advanced by the enlightened committee and
approved BY the City Councils. But they
had no power to impose such tax. De
string 70 do so. they were obliged TO seek
tle power st The hands Of Che Missouri

where he goes chanting the praises Of bis

expects to Gil his pockets with money. But
strange TO shy ut home he occupies q position
entirely hosti.hto th" tenor OF bis efforts to
promote taxa:ion. Here he opposes the
payment OF public obligations, and should
rather impede taxation-shoald rather stop
it altogether as. an outrage upon the iaatie'a-
able rights OF the people; which, according
to MoFFETr and the great organ oil MALONE
adjustment, is to pay or not, as they please.

MIR. Knots's Report.

We NAV infer that Mr.. KNOTS indisposi-
ton to expedite the report OF the Judiciary
Committee upon the subject OF kIMMELL's
bill and the Presidents title assisted to de-
Law its presentation to Congress. Evidently
he had no eagerness to present it, and
doubtless knowledge that Congress would
almost unanimously agree to it caused, at
least inadvertently, an indifference about
bringing the matter in this way to an end.
The physical indisposition OF Mr.. KNOTT,
concurring with his mental Discrimination,
found sudden termination when the re-
port was made and adopted, and he found
no obstacle to his rising promptly and going
to the House to read his minority report TO
the members.
Congress was never stopped a. such a
time, amidst such precious moments, to
hear read q document OF such little force
and significance. 1t was merely rhetorical,
and not at all to the point. 1t did not at
tack the real question at all, and must so TO
sleep i'll that Duluth grave which seems to
be the maelstrom Of Dir. KNOTT's fame.
The questions reported upon by the COM
mittee in their paper, which was forced out
by BURcHAED's resolution, lay much too
long in committee. Had it been known
that the House would promptly pass re-
port the reverse OF that which was made the
conclusion OF the committee would have
been brought before it, we suppose, with
out delay.
The long delay OF the subject has been
injurious to the Democrats themselves, be-
cause the interim has been employed in agi.
tating the alleged "reyolution " to unseat
Mr.. HAYES. 1t has done also injury to the
general welfare, which never fails to suffer
from political excitement OF sectional
character.
