LAw-IMroRrASr CHANGES IN THE SPIRIT

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SPIRITS TO
BEAR PAPER STAMPS.
Tho act to amend the laws relating TO internal
revenue. which has been agreed upon in conference
committee and which passed the senate to-day. and
will doubtless pass the House. has been popuary
and almost universally supposed to relate only the
subject of tobacco; but such is not the cssc Under
cover Of the popular agitation the subject of tho
tobacco tax bill has been put through which effects
the most sweeping changes in tho internal tax system
accomplished since the law Of 1868. These changes
relate to tho administrative powers CT internal
revenue officers and to the collection of the spirit
taxes and although the law ostcnsibly refers only
10 inland very great alteration is made in
the customs laws by providing for tho stamping of
packages Of imported distilled spirits. thus assimi.
latinv the spirit system 10 that in force rca-
tion to tobacco and bringing our leading customs
and revenue tax laws under tho one head Of stamp

SUMMARY NEW LEGISLATION.
The first section of the bill provides for tho dis.
missa from Office Of any collector of internal rev.
enuc who shall in any way part with a stamp until
full value s received for It, and declares any delivery
of such stamp except receipt Of its money value

rHE FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS IN THE SEN
ATE-ArTITUDE OF MR.. BAYARD.
On the discussion of the Deficiency bill in the Senate
this afternoon debate clause inserted by
the Senate committee giving the Attorney General
$3.50 carry out the Enforcement acts in the past
and This the democrats claimed was additional
to the Attorney Generals estimates In January, and
Mr.. Bayard opposed the grant in speech in which
he defined his position this kind Of legislation.
remarking that he was opposed to all attempts to
repeal even bad laws by the expedient Of q
threat to stop tho wheels Of government un-
less they were repealed. He denounced
the federal supervisor laws, they are
called, as thoroughly bad and mischievous and
thought they ought to be repealed. but only in q
regular manner and not by lacking repeating clause
sn an Appropriation BILL BUT he opposed the extra
grant Of money asked for by the Attorney General
the ground that the laws had been administered
in an illegal manner and that great expense
had been incurred IN the use of deputy marshals in
Q manner not contemplated or allowed by the law
itself.
There is good deal Of excitement in the Senate on
the subject Of the repeal of the election laws
some of the democratic Senators strongly
urging that the repeal shall be insisted
on even at the hazard Of forcing an extra
session. and it is urged that several Southern Con-
gressmen-elect will be sent TO State prison il tho
laws are not repealed But the answer is made that
il these men guilty they ought to go to prison,
and If they innocent they will be acquitted; or
il they should be wrongfully condemned that will
be grievance Of which the people may be trusted
70 take notice at the next election.

of and provide tho requisite stamps. and to make all
regulations which he may deem necessary and
proper for carrying the foregoing requirements into
effect" This portion of the act is To take effect
June 10. 1875? and any packages withdrawn from
a bonded warehouse after that date purporting to
contain imported liquor and not bearing tho stamp
is to be forfeited to the United States.
Small packages of imported spirits containing not
less than Ave gallons, filled on the promises of liquor
dealers. to be stamped with imported spirit
stamps by the officers of internal revenue. When
imported spirits arc cmpticd the importers stamp
is TO be destroyed and all custom house marks oblit
Grated. and no cask which has contained imported
spirits shall be used for domestic spirits under the
penalty of forfeiture OF cask aud contents Import
crs casks found empty or rcfilcd with importation
marks still them may be seized by any internal
revenue officer. The purchaser and seller of any
rchllcd imported cask each liable to penalty
of 5000 for each such cask sold.
II is noticeable that in these provisions there is
limitation to the kind of stamp TO be prescribed
There number Of metal. rubber and other
patented stamps. from which selection may be made
instead of adopting paper stamp analogous to that
used on domestic spirits.
The thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth
sections Of tho act relate entirely to tobacco, and
have been fully discussed and described.
The seventeenth section authorizes the redemp-
ton OF stamps which have been damaged, or for
which the owner may have no use, or which, through
mistake may have been improperly or unnecessarily
used or where the rates or duties have been exces
sivc paid in error. Forgery of stamps is made
crime equal to forgery of United States notes, and
the punishment prescribed for unlawful use OF them
is very severe.
very important feature of this section is tho
provision tor drawback exported fcrmcn,cd
liquors. which has arisen from the fact that our
lager beer brewers have become recently heavy
porters. Drawbacks also allowed on all articles
in schedule A.. when they exported, excepting
matches, cigar lights and apers, the drawback to DO
in each case equal to the tax paid.
section 1s provides that claims for stamp allow
must be made within three years irou the date
of purchase OF the stamps from government agent,
but this does not extend to documentary ten cent
stamps. for which allowance is to be made.
