Tax on Wh1skev.

Tie action of the House OF Representa-
tlves on the 50th ult. plainly indicates that
there is TO be no reduction of the tax on
Whisky. A bill was reported in favor of
extending until July !, 1873, the time for
the withdrawal OF distilled whiskey from
bond. Mir. Butler offered an amendment
providing that the tax on spirits withdrawn
from bond shall be collected at the rate re-
CURED by law at the time of its entry into
bond, which was agreed to. Mr.. Foster Of
fered a substitute for the original PROPOSE
ton, declaring it ineXpedient to reduce the
tax OH Whiskey, which was adopted by yeas
l4G-nays 112. This vote is a clear and ex-
plicit declaration that there will be no re-
duction of the tax on Whisky. In the dis
cussion Of the proposition to extend the time
of paying the tax, the whole policy of the
tax on Whiskcy was touched, as we'll as
that OF the internal revenue tax. The Demo-
Gratis generally supported the original prop
osIton, which, it was charged. was design
cd to suspend the payment OF the present
tax of 90 cents in the gallon, in the hope Of
getting reduction of the tax during this
session, and then to pay the tax existing at
the time OF taking the whiskey out Of bond,
instead of when entered. The amendment
of Mr.. Butler covered and defeated this pur-
pose, and the amendment of Mr.. Foster put
the whole matter at rest, at least for this
session. There will be no reduction OF the
present rate Of 80 cents on the gallon.

Cheap Manufacture Of Iron IN Virginia.


In the course of his lecture on Virginia, last
night, in tile Hall of the House of Delegates,
Major Hotchkiss stated that q prominent
Pennsylvania irOn-Inaster, who has, within
the last fortnight, been examining the iron
deposits on the line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, had just informed him that at
the Lucy Selma furnace OF the Longdale Iron
Company,in Allegheny county, he had, to
his amusement, seen them making q ton OF
iron with a ton of New River coke. They
thought in Pennsylvania when they made 4
ton Ut iron with a ton and a half OF anthra-
cite they were doing about the best that
could be done but he had found that they
were mistaken. and that Virginia could sur
pass them in the production OF cheap ron.-
Richmond State.Fs
We are pleased to see publicity given to
such facts as these. We have heard the
QuintimoMt Coal and Coke favorably con-
trasted with the celebrated Connellsville ar
ticle by persons having accurate knowledge
of both, and we are persuaded that there is
no State in the Union possessing more adj
vantages for mining and manufacturing en-
terprises than Virginia. In our own county
we have seen the rery best cold blast charcoal
iron made at cost not exceeding fourteen
dollars ton, and there are several places
mere now at WHICH III HAY pe uole. AZ tuesc
points to which we alude, the ore, averaging
over 80 per cent metallic iron, can be laid
down at the furnace at 81, 90 per ton. Char
coal costs cents per busllel in money, 6,
cents in goods, limestone, for ftuXIng, so
cents per ton. 1t only requires from l25 to
$50 bushels of charcoal to make ton of
metal-the ores being very soft and easily
reduced. 1t seems strange to us that capt.
tai should have so long overlooked this invit-
ing region, and our own PEOPLE are much to
blame for not having made its advantages
and wealth more widely known UWheriHe

This assault by Implication was in
dulged a few days ago by the Richmond
Dispatch, in a!lusion to a matter the exact
purport OF which we do not now remember.
It expressed its confidence In the good
intentions of the President and Judge
Hughes, but could not say as much for some
''other'' Federal Judge of whom it knew.
It might be inferred that allusion was, in
this, made to Judge Rives, when we do not
think it was the intention Of the writer to
do 50. 1t would have been more to the pur-
pose and in consonance with justice to have
specifically mentioned the ''other'' person,
so that no suspicion might have rested upon
an innocent party. There are very few Vir-
ginians who have not the most implicit con-
fidence in the integrity and judicial fair
ness of Judge Rives, but readers in other
States might as readily have located the re-
Il ection upon that courteous gentleman and
impartial Judge as upon any one else.
This method OF dealing with public mat
tiers should I've modified. and frankness
enough exercised SO as to relieve innocent
persons OF suspicion and properly locate any
responsibility for A statement that is not
justified by the facts. Justice to the press
and justice to the community demand that
the insnuative process of reaching the pub
lie should be abandoned. and direct septen-
ces employed to convey the meaning which
writers have in their minds.
