It BecmB to be the general impression that Congrean, at its next session, will make some Important modifications in the Internal Reve nue law relating to the manufacture of dis tilled spirits. The necessity for this is very apparent, if we may Judge from the ineffi ciency and failure in the collection of this im portant branch of the revenue tinder the law A3 it now stands. Distilled spirits, which ought to pay about one hundred millions per annum Into the treasury, now yield hardly one third of that amount. Of course this failure ImpoBea still heavier burdens upon other fcranoheB of industry. But this is one of the smallest of the evils connected with it. The Widespread demoralization and corruption, both of the people and of the officers of Government, incident to this branch of our revenue system, as at preseut conducted, is a much greater and more start line evil. That much of this is due to the character of the law itself we do not doubt, Other countries collect as large a tax per gallon from distilled spirits as we are endea voring to do, and collect it successfully, with out any exoess of fraud in that particular department over others in their revenue service, There ia no reason why we should not do bo too. Amerioans are not naturally any more dishonest than other people, and the average run of our internal revenue officials are pro bably as little inclined, a priori, to peculation and fraud as those of other countries. The difficulty is in our system itself, which offers Buoh occasions for fraud on a large and remu nerative scale, that it at once holds out tempta tions too strong to be resisted by men of ordi nary virtue. And, in the second place, volu minous and minute as are the provisions of the law, it fails in practical operation to afford the proper and requisite facilities for the con viction and punishment of those who violate its provisions. As an instance, we may men tion that all important violations of the law are made criminal offenses, punishable in many Instances by imprisonment; and yet, though Infractions of the law are constant, and the Courts "are thronged with what are called ' liquor case3," we never, or at least very .rar3y hear of a criminal prosecution. Any man who understands the business of manufacturing distilled spirits would see at onoe, upon reading our present law, that it was not drawn up by practical men. It aim3 to reach certain results, bat instead of doing so by plain and direct methods, it resorts to a hundred different cbdeks and balances, which amount to nothing practically. Under it the skilful distiller will perpetrate frauds which only an equally skilful distiller can detect. The primary principle of the law, a3 it now stands, is to find the product of a distillery from the oath of the distiller,, the very person who, of all others, is most interested to make a false statement. - Now, the . true ground to go upon is the simple one of taxing the aotual contents of a distillery, from day to day, as the process of fermentation is going on. Let the Government establish a certain percen tage of the "beer" as the product in distilled spirits upon which it will assess . the tax, and it will oolleot thousands of dol lars where it now gets hundreds. For instance, suppose six per cent, is the proportion of distilled spirits to "beer" in the fermenting vats, which the Government establishes as its standard of taxation; then, upon every one hundred gallons of "beer" the Government will oolleot the tax due on six gallons of whisky, and in this ratio for larger or smaller amounts. The ratio should be fixed low enough to allow a small margin in favor of the careful manufacturer. The amount of "beer" in the fermenting vats can be accurately determined by ocular inspection. It is a mere question of arithmetic. This Bhould be the business of revenue officers paid by the Government. No reference should be made to the distiller at all. No questions need be asked of him. All that he should be required to do is to keep his doors open, so that the revenue officer may daily inspect his place of business. The revenue officer makes bin daily round, reports the number of gallons ' of . "beer" in fermentation, and the Government assesses its tax according to an invariable rule. The whole thing is simple, direct, efficient. There is no ground of fraud by the distiller. lie baa been eliminated from the problem alto gether. There is no attempt to follow up the whisky, and keep a hold on that. There is no necessity for inspectors and gau jers, exoept for those connected with the bonded ware houses. There is no door for fraud in the matter of production, exotpt in the making of false reports by the examining officers of the amount of "beer" io the vats, and that would be so easy and sure of detection, that it may be practioally thrown out of the acoouut. This is the true principle of taxation as re gards distilled spirits. Some say tax eaoh etill according to its capacity; but what is the capacity of a still f By what ruk Bhall that be determined f It is impracticable, and cannot be done. If members of Congress will take hold of this matter with a determination to make a law that will work; if they will Bummon to their aid practical men who know the loop holes through which fraud now escapes, the Revenue law can be so amended that distilled spirits shall pay one hundred millions of dol lars annually into the treasury, and without half the trouble and vexation which now characterize the collection of one-third of that amount. The Action and Attitnde of the S gaers of the "Ludlow Call." When Judge Ludlow was nominated by a number of gentlemen for the post of Assooiate Judge, a card appeared signed by a number of our leading citizens, gentlemen of high respectability, in which they favored his reten tion in the office he at present holds. This card has since been used as an electioneering document, and is daily referred to by the Democrats as an argument in favor of the choice of their candidate. The gentlemen who signed that card did so through a desire to remove all political discussion from a judicial election. The conduct of the Democracy, however, has been such as to utterly defeat the end in view. The signers have been drawn into the very vortex of politics, and the only difference in their present position and that oooupied by them at any political election is, that instead of their influence being given for the party which faved the country in the days of the war, they are being used by the enemies of the Union, and are absolutely giving all their in fluence to favor the suocess of the very party which acted with traitors throughout the four years of rebellion. These gentlemen have now had an opportunity of calmly looking at the false attitude into which they have been thrust by the wiles of the Democratic party. They now see as clearly as all their fellow citizens that, instead of raising the judiciary above the reach of partisanship, they have themselves been drawn into a bitter partisan contest, and one in which they are used to protect the Demo cratio party. The fight is just as bitter as ever, only they are under the enemy's flag, And in what company do they now find them- selvesr starting witu a desire, wmcn we honor, to see the judiciary chosen without party feeling, how have they succeeded? It requires no great perception to see that they have utterly failed. They have not secured Judge Ludlow as a no-party candidate, and they are not running him on his merits. They have failed to elevate the tone of the election; but have sunk themselves into the company of the Carrigans, Reeds, Inger soils, and McMullins of the radical Demo cracy. Instead of fighting side by side with their old comrades, or instead of defending a high principle of political purity, they are standing shoulder to shoulder with the ene mies of our country, the followers of Vallan digham, the men whose watchword is the platform adopted at the Democratic Conven tion. Under such circumstances it is not incon sistent, it is not unexpected, that we see them coming back, one after another, in dis gust from the ranks into which they have been drafted. Already nearly three-fourth of the Republicans who signed the Ludlow call have declared their intention of signing another, stating the reasons for their original action, and their reason for repenting thereof. Before many days are over the card will ap pear. It takes no prophetio vision to know what excuse they will give what explanation they will set before the people. When the call was signed, it was anticipated that the clique which almost ruined our Judicial Convention would rule it entirely. It was supposed that the friends of the Democracy who, in disguise, had gained admission into its ranks, would suoceed in nominating an in ferior candidate, a man of straw, who would be put up only to be knocked down by Judge Ludlow. In this opinion the gentlemen sign ing were nearly correct. We knew at the time of all the moves which were to be made, and we trembled ourselves for the result. Ilad the cabal succeeded we could not' have blamed the signers for their adherence to a gentleman whd they knew was at least able, when the choice lay between him and one un known and but illy-qualified. But the scheme failed. The Republican party could not be manipulated like the Democracy. Mr. Thayer was nominated, and a gentleman thus fur nished who was in every respect Judge Lud low's equal for honesty, ability, and judicial learning, and many times his superior in patriotism and eloquence. And the favorers of Mr. Ludlow stand now opposed to Mr. Thayer, when really, from the bottom of their hearts, they wish him victory. What, then, is the only manly and bonest course left open to them 1 It is clearly to confess their mis take, to say like men, "We doubted the Con vention of the Republican party, and we did it injustice" to retire from the ranks of the rabid and nnwashed Democracy, and take their old places under the old flag. " How can Mr. Meredith, Mr. Trice, Col. Thomas, Gov.rollock, and the like, stand the association of such men as rule the Democracy, and who endorsed their action and adopted their candidate, who willingly fell into their congenial embraces f There is but one means of showing themselves fearless men and loyal citizens, tnd that is the one they have adopted. To say openly that, led as they were by personal regard for Judge Lndlow, they can't stmd his associations; that while they could possibly have forgotten the record of the Judge, they could not wish for a vlotory over whbh Carrigan and Vallandigham and Johnson would rejoice; and that they must recall their endorsement, and aot, as they have always acted, In favor of the Union cause and In opposition to sympathy with treason. Mons Aoitatiok. At a branch meeting of . . ii r . I t o tne neiorm jague in Louaon, Mr. Eiinoud Ilealerfsald the League must hold toitl.r tn watch the working of the Reform bill, and to btain we u.u. The Orent Meeting: on Friday Oif Friday evening next, at the Horticultural Hall, there will be held the first great ratifica tion meeting in favor of the nominees of the Republican party in Pennsylvania. It will be addressed by Senators Cameron, Cattell, Fre Hnghuysen; Governors Pollock and Curtin; Col. Jones, and a number of equally eminent orators. Let us make it a grand affair. The voice of the people must be beard, and a cor dial endorsement of its nominees deolared. The gentlemen selected are, in every oase, un exceptionable. We have nover had bo strong a ticket. It then behooves all those who are opposed to Andrew Johnson and in favor of Generals Sheridan and Sickles to attend. It is the duty of every man to be there and lend by his voice a .rebuke to the Executive mad man. But we need not call on our readers to be present at that scene of duty. The eminent speakers selected insure a meet ing well worth attending, and we do not doubt but that Horticultural Hall will fall to contain the throag. Sknpiblk Advice. With all the fervor we can infuse into a recommendation, we recom mend to the Republican leaders of Pennsyl vania the timely and emphatio advice con tained in the following artiole from to-day's N. Y. Times: "The election In Maine, echoing that of Cali fornia, sounds a voice of warning to the Re publican party everywhere to go into future contests unimpeded by personal unpopularities and needless siue issues, r roni vere to verge of the republic, the vote of the ballot has been omlnouH: and the cooizrapbloal, hardly less tuau the nollilcal. dosUIou occupied by olll leal, post llou occupied by Maine and California, Is slRnincant of what may be ex pected of the Htates lying between the two oceans, provided the same elements are suffered to work. In California; the persistent bolster, ins up of unpopular cand dates helped towards the Republican defeat. The race was run with the dead weight of at least one man who ought not to have been carried. In Maine, the handicap was the ale-and cider law, which pulled down last year'H great victory to what was a close, If successful, contest. Connecticut bad already told substantially the same story and sounded the same warning. We cannot help thinking that these three results are premonitory of others to come. If the Republicans wish to lose all the doubtful Htates, and to decrease their majorities In the sure States, let them coulinue to be harnessed to the drngs of unworthy can didates and of all Korts of small-beer 'reform.' For success, the battle must be fought on oleau cnt, square political isues, involving political principles; otherwise, the coalition of all op posing elements is pretty sure to defeat the party. Having a sure triumph on the main 1 ue, it is blundering to lose it by starling side Issues." Migration op Species. Old na'uralists con tended that certain clasces of animals existed only in limited and well-defined districts; but the ape is "progressive," and such old-fashioned Ideas are exploded. An American production has appeared in England, and the ancient tra ditions are thereby set aside. On the 27th of August a party of English Vallandighams, Woods, and Pendletona met in solemn conclave at Birmingham, to form a "constitutional party." They resolved, with remarkable emphasis and directness, that the new elements which the evil-disposed seek to Intro luce into the political history of England are reprehensible. They avowed a desire for progress, but insisted that it thould be "progre.s on the old Hues of tbe diminution, by such reforms in every depart ment cf the St-ite as may best enable it to fulfil its functions in accordance with our national development, not progress toward new systems of government and untried institutions." "Emancipation is wickedness" -cry the Cop perheads in this country "a willul inter ference with vested rights." "Ite'orru is a snare" say these Birmingham gentlemen "the worklngmau has no lights which John Bull is bouid to respect." Our people have bidden the croakers to stand back, and the Eng lish reformers will say the same. A Useful and Important Investigation. An English paper reports that Mr. B. Samuelson, M. P., who is engaged in iron and engineering, and has resided some years on the continent, is about to visit France, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland, with a view to obtaining accurate information as to their industrial position, and especially to their receut manufacturing pro gress, and the state of labor and Instruction among them. Mr. Samuelson undertakes this mission on his own responsibility, but he has received the co-operation of the Eduoational Department of the Privy Council and the Secre tary for Foreign Aflalrs, and he will hare the aid of English representatives abroad. Ue has recently isited Leeds and the other great manufacturing towns of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, etc., to obtain information as to the views of manufacturers on these ques tions, and from them he has received every en couragement. He finds a general impression that improved education, primary and techni cal, k essential to the maintenance of English pre eminence as an industrial nation. A Leading Bitualiston bis Teial. The case ol Martin against the Rev. A. D. Mackonochle, incumbent of St. AlbauV, Holborn, accused ot ritualistic practices, came up tn the Arches' Court in London, August 27. The Dean of Arches, Sir Robert Philllmore, having before his appDlntment been one of the defendant's counsel, the promoter, Martin, objected to his hearing the case, even with assessors. The de fendant insisted that the dean could not law fully refer the cane to a surrogate, but must bear it himself. The deau suggested that the best course was to take the question before the Privy Council. Personally, he should be very reluctant to hear ihe case. The points upon which the Judsje will have to decide are the legality of lights, incense, and the elevation of the paten aud chalice in tho communion. The Sailors' Kbibnp. i he Duke ot Richmond has fairly earned tute title by the introduction and successful management of a "bill for tho prevention of scurvj." The London Telegraph gives the following abstract of this useful piece of legislation:, "Henceforth every sailor will have (If he plenes) a magaitlcent ullowance or twelve superliolal fuel ot l. tu-romu all io himself, aud a dully 'lot' of lime Juice, lorilBed Willi fifteen per cent, of rum.
