The True Principle for the Taiing of
Distilled Spirits.
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

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
