The acknowledgements System.

The Macon Telegraph, in commenting
upon the defeat Of Mr.. MoRRlsON's motion
to take up his tariff bill, says that while the
present tarih IS not 4 perfect system OF
revenue and should be revised, the work OF
revision should be done carefully and
wisely, and by the friends Of The tariff, mol
by lis enemies. But, continues our con-
temporary, there Is no good states nanship
In a policy that seeks to abolish customs
while maintaining direct taxation in the
shape OF an iuternal.reyenue system. The
internal.revenue system, it declares. " was
a crime from the tine that II ceased to be
a necessity" and adds;
"Here - the province OF reform, here

through political cowardice. There has not
been O day in ten years when the S0nth

The 7eiegroph undoubtedly expresses
the sentiments Of the masses in the South
touching the internal-revenue system, and
southern leaders would do well TO make
note of the fact.

The REPUBLICANS AND An EXTRA sES-
sloN.-The Republicans have their eyes
upon the Democrats, and are hopeful that
the latter will 90 before the people next
fall with the debt question not only unset.
tied but in much worse condition than it
is in now. The Highiand Recorder speaks
out rs follows:
"This involves the calling OF an extra
session, which seems TO be not ardently de-
sired even by most OF the Democrats. Be-
sides, such an effort by this party would be
almost certainly fruitless: for, although
both parties have declared in favor OF
making the 'Riddleberger settlement a
finality, agreeable to the demand OF the
people. and although nothing less than a
satisfaction Of that demand will quiet the
people, vet successful legislation on that
subject from Democratic source Is not to
be expected. The people recognize the
difference between the forced 'acquies-
cence' OF ITS former enemies and the hearty
and willing support OF It's authors and
establshcrs. They know with which
party at least are the chances OF success.
They have mol forgotten that the Democrats
have only made their promises TO the ear
TO break them 10 tue nope. Anu Hopc uc-,
Gerred hath made the heart sick, As the re-
suit of the State election fully attests."
The Democrats can read in that para
graph the issue which the Republicans will
compel them TO Join next fall II there be
no extra session. The fight will be upon
the Inability Of the Democratic party to
settle a quts tion which was upfor settlement
before it came into power three years ago.
and which remains now in Il condition to
haunt every member OF the Legislature
who desires to be reelected next fall. We
maintain that the Democrats can settle il;
but unless they settle 1t this winter or next
spring, they will, we fear, never have a
chance 10 settle IL.

Tariff LEGISLATION,

A. we said In our last, the House o.
Representatives ought to take up some bill
on the subject, and thus secure revision
OF the existing tariff. Mr.. McADoo, In a
conversation with a reporter Of the Wash.
ington Post, said:
"The prospects are excellent for tariff
legislation at an early day. We who voted
against the Morrison bill did so because we
were not prepared 10 accept IL provisions,
but II some measure were introduced taking
the tax OF tobacco and materially reducing
the surplus, believe u would be supported
BY majority OF the House. The Hewitt
administrative bill and measure removing
the tax on tobacco could likely be passed
during the present session."
We trust that the men who agree with
Mr.. McADoo will not weary In well doing.
Mr.. HxwITT, Of New York. manifests an
sdmirable spirit. The Post reports him as
follows:

A Legal Question.
o he Editor of tie dispatch :

To The Editor of the Dispatch:
There Is 4 doubt i'll many minds whether
the Governor, in the Cluverius matter. had
the right to have the watch-key opened for
identification; that, on the side u mercy.
he may CONSIDER developments subsequent
to the trial re, ms to be unquestiOned. But
that he may seek evidences OF guilt which
the court declined to admit is not clear; and
hence 1t is not clear that Governor Lee has
not made a grave mistake. Many people
do not regard with competency proceed
ing which seems to put the chief Execu'
tive Of Virginia on the quest for blood.
Will the Dispatch give the law OF the mat
teri III.
We bear that the AttOrney-Geueral adj
yised Governor LEE that he had the right
to have the watch-key opened. IL the pri-
soner had requested 1t to be opened as a
means OF proving his innocence, every one
would have censured the Governor il he
had not compiled with that request. The
Commonwealth had the same right. to ask
that il should be opened.
This is the first time that we have ever
alluded to the CLuyERIUs case Ia Our edito-
rial columns.
