Little Rock Democrat, Goth: "The Demo-

Little Rock Gazette, 21st: "From every

Speaking of the coming election in Arkan-
mocracy of that State: 1T would be great disaster
to the Democratic party OF the nation for the party
in Arkansas to be beaten in the September elections.
1t would alarm and discourage our friends In the
north and west, and greatly encourage and strength
our adversaries. The defeat of the party in Ar
kansas might cause the defeat OF the party In the
Presidential contest, and thus perpetuate the power

THE NEW DEMOCRATS.

Kortrecht and Pierce, the Radical candi-
dates for chancellor and judge of the circuit
court, have resorted to that stale device of
foiled demagogues-the cry of persecution.
They would have the people of Shelby coun-
ty believe that they were Democratic inno-
cents, that they were Democrats since the
war, and that the wicked and malignant AP-
PEAL is slandering them by creating the i'm
preston that they were ever Radicals. We
are not surprised at this, for when the Radi-
Gals we're DISTINGUISHING and prosecuting men
born in Tennessee, and whose taxes had made
the State great and prosperous, we told
them that the day would come when they
would be getting up certificates to prove
what Pierce and Kortrecht have undertaken
to prove. The contest between Senter and
Stokes was in 1869, and not in 1868, as
alleged. The people of Shelby county will
never forget that struggle for hberty-for
giving the white man the same rights which
the negro exercised. If ever Kortrecht or
Pierce uttered a word in behalf of the dis
franchised whites, we have not been able to
find it or any one who heard it. The files of
the Memphis papers furnish an account of
Senter's and Stokes's reception in Memphis,
and of the various meetings held
in Shelby county by the friends
of Acknowledgement, but in none
of the proceedings do we find the names OF
Kortrecht and Pierce There cannot be found
dozen men in Shelby county willing to adj
NIT that they were guilty of the crime of
voting against the enfranchisement of the
whites in 1869, and it is not surprising that
men who now seek the suffrages of the peo-
pie they insulted nine years ago should en-
deaVor to create the impression that they
co-operated with the Democrats in that year.
These ofice-seekers will next attempt to
prove that they voted against Grant and OPP
posed the reconstruction measures and mill
tary rule, and all the oppressive measures
which enabled adventurers to plumber the
southern people.

Report of the Secretary of the Interior Oh
the Indian Question.
WASHINGTON, Nov. q

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a.
The Secretary Of the Interior in his annual
report, refers to the recommendation of last
year in regard to the Indians, and proceeds to
say;
The consolidation Of a number of agencies
has been undertaken with a view to the better
location of theIndians, which will at the same
time simplify the service, render more eff
cient supervision possible, reduce the expen-
ses of the Government and lessen the oppor-
tunities for fraud and peculation. AS far as
the appropriations made by Congress will per-
init, agricultural implements and domestic
cattle had been furnished to the Indian tribes
to set the Indians to work for their own sup
port and to encourage industrious habits. An
Indian police has been organized at twenty
two agencies, and from all of them favorable
reports as to the working of the new system
have been received.
Instructions have Leen given TO discrimin-
ate In the distribution of supplies and annui-
ties which are not actual necessaries against
individual Indians who show no disposition
| TO work, thus discouraging idleness. PeTmis
| sion to send out hunting parties has been
| given only where, without hunting, the In
dians would have been exposed to want, The
| allotment OF land among the Indians on the
| several reservations has been ordered and II
| in progress. The facilities for education have
been extended as much as possible, anC
proper directions have been given for the in
struction of Indian children In practical pur
| suits.
The Indian service has been reorganized II
several of its branches. 1t was found neces
sAry to remove a number OF agents on accoun
of Improper practices or lack OF business eff
cheney, and great care has been taken In fllinj
their places with new men. Where mistake
were found to have been made In selections
they have been promptly rectlhed.
Important changes have been made In tn
contract system and In methods of account
ability. An active supervision has been el
ercised by inspectors and special agents

Report of Commissioner Raum of the In
ternal Revenue Department.

The annual report of the Commissioner of
the Internal Revenue says that the heavy fall
ing off in the receipts from taxation has
ceased, and that the receipts for the current
fiscal year have thus far shown an increase.
The Commissioner reports that in ma ajori
ty of the States the internal revenue laws
have been enforced without serious difficulty
or obstruction there has been commendable
spirit exhibited on the part of manufacturers
and dealers to observe the law, and 1t Is be-
lieved that the tax on distilled spirits is now
being collected with fewer frauds and less loss
to the Government than at any time since the
establishment of the internal revenue system.
The Commissioner reports, however, that
there is great loss to the revenue In the South
He says:
ain the regions of country named there are
| known to exist about 5000 copper stills, many
of which, at certain times, are lawfully used
in the production Of brandy from apples and
| peaches; but | am convinced that a large por-
| tion of the stills have been and are used in
| the Illicit manufacture OF spirits. Part of the
| spirits thus produced has been consumed in
| the immediate neighborhood; the balance has
| been sold and distributed throughout the ad-
iacent districts This nefarious business has
been carried on, as rule, by a determined
set of men, who, in their various neighbor-
hoods, league together for defense against
the officers OF the law, and at given signal
are ready to come together with arms In theiI
hands to drive the officers OF the internal
rev. nue. out of the country"
With reference to the proposed reduction
of the tobacco tax, the commissioner argues
that the reduction OF the tax one-thiTd, al
proposed by the bill now pending, would in
evitably result In a corresponding reduction
OF the revenue. He also states that an exam
ination of the market quotations of tobacci
for series of years fails to show that the tal
on manufactured tobacco has had any de
pressing effect on the market price of leaf TO
bacco. He continues:
. d haf of ha Noh
used by our manufacturers is affected by tn
foreign demand for the surplus product.
small accumulated surplus, light crops, and
sluggish foreign demand viii increase tn
/ price Of all grades, while large accumulate
stocks, heavy crops, and sluggish foreig
, demand, will result In depression Of price
OF all grades; and these results would be pre-
duced whether the tax ON manufactured Il
bacco remained at twenty-four cents, or shoul
G be reduced to sixteen cents per pound, or
= the tax were entirely removed. The bill b

per thousand This would be equivalent to
reducing the tax on each cigar one mill IL
is incredible that such reduction can affect
the retail price, or In any degree operate TO
stimulate the consumption of cigars, and, in
my opinion, the reduction would be an abso-
Lutte loss Of revenue, without any compensat-
ing advantage.
at is to be noted that the agitation for the
reduction Of the tax on manufactured tobacco
does not come from the consumers, who alone
pay the tax. Not a single taxpayer has yet
come forward as such to demand its reduc-
tion. The whole movement, In my Judgment,
involves an absolute sacrifice OF Sll ,OOO,OOO OF
revenue, without reasonable prospect of BEN
eft to the producer or relief to the taxpayer.
The agitation of the question of reducing the
tax on manufactured tobacco last year par
alvzed the trade during the time the uucer-
tainty prevailed Many manufacturers were
compelled temporarily to suspend operations,
and large numbers OF workpeople were thrown
out of employment. The tax on manufactured
tobacco from December, 1877, to June, 1878,
showed falling off as compared with the cor
responding months of the preceding year OF
S1,947,04l, while Immediately upon the ad-
iournment of Congress, when 1t became known
that the tax would for time remain undis-
turbed, the trade began to recover, the re-
ceipts from the tobacco tax for July, 1873,
showing an increase Of S546,427 over the
corresponding month of the previous year. j
have no doubt that similar results would fol
low prolonged agitation of the subject this
year. 1t, therefore, appears TO be very deslr'
able that whatever action is had by Congress
IN regard to the proposed change of the tax
should be had as early as possible, in the in
terest of the revenue as well as of the manu-
facturers, their thousands of employees, anc
the producers, to all of whom continued sus
pense must prove injurious"
A statement of the collections of interna
revenue tax by districts, for the fiscal yea
ended June 80, 1878, shows that the sum o
| S110, 0,654, $50 SO was collected and accounted
