Internal Ileveiue l.vr Tx on Spirit
In an article a few days since upon the
whisk t tax, we spoke of Commissioner Rollins'
recent decision, that the true intent of the law
was not to forfait eplrita which were BtiU in
bond, and we dissented from that oonstruotion
of the law. It will be Been by onr law reports
that Judge Blatchford, in the United States
Court in this city, has decided differently from
the Commissioner on this point, and that some
spirits in bond were forfeited by that Court on
Monday. We presume that the Commissioner
will accept the construction whioh the Courts
adopt as being the real intent of the law. its
policy ia quite a different affair.
In the same article we took occasion to say
that, in onr eninion. the law aa it stands is
eweerine and comprehensive enough to em
brace all the cases 1b which proceedings have
been commenced. We call attention, in this
connection, to a decision made in the United
Stains Circuit Court, in Brooklyn 1 he
forty-fifth section of the act of 1SGG pro
vldiH that 11 spirits found outside of a
bonded warehouse, not removed from it
ancordliifr to law. shall be forfeited, and that
the "burdeu of nroof shall be on the claimant
' of such spirits to show that the reqniremeuts
of law in racard to the same have len coin
nlled with." Last Jane, a case was heard
Wnrn Jndces Nelson and Benedict, in whiuh
a quantity of spirits had been removed from
Chicaco to the Third Collection District, and
were found there outside of a bonded ware
Louse, and in an action to forfeit them, the
Court held that it was not enough for the
claimant to 'prove his permit to transport
them, but that he must go further and prove
that he had complied with all the provisions
f Va lnm Tt rxr n a trn ill rt rvli f waw vlam
(11 tlaD inn v r?iaj w iuvuu v v j
that if this was the law the (iovernmeyt had
in its provisions the power of preventing
fraud, if forfeiture would do it. The case to
which we now refer carries out the same prin
ciple, but applies it in another direction, viz.:
to the rectifying business. Spirits that
were seized in the hands of a rectifier were
eoueht to be forfeited. The rectifier proved
that he had bought spirits which purported to
have paid tax, and mixing it with other recti
fied spirits, rectified the whole. Bat he was
Belling his goods at a price less than the cost
of manufacture and the tax. And the Court
has held that the burden of proof was on the
rectifier, who must show that the tax had
actually been paid on the spirits, and that in
the absence of such proof they must be con
demned.
This decision, as will be easily soen, is of
the utmost importance to rectifiers. Every
one who reads it will ask himself if he is pre
pared to prove that the tax has been paid
upon the spirits which he has reotifled. If
not and we fancy that mostjof them will find
themselves in that predicament every one
Will feel as if the clutches of the law were
upon him. , We can readily imagine their con
sternation and the outories with which they
will exclaim against the injustice of requiring
them to warrant the honesty of the men with
Whom they deal. Bat, alter all, why should
they not ? If they are not disposed to aid in
the frauds upon the law, why should they not
refuse to deal with any except those whose
honesty they are willing to warrant t Thny
Will say that their trade will suffer. Is not
trade Buffering now? Poes any oije suppose
that such frauds can continue to run riot in
the community as have prevailed in the traffic
In spirits, without trade being injured vitally f
Or, do they admit that honesty has no place
in commerce, and that trade and fraud are
synonymous f
Thi forty-fifth s ction of the law puts into
the hands of the Government enormous
powers. When they are thoroughly employed
and are found to be useless, it will be time
enough to declare the law a failure, and to
adopt a new system of collecting the tax.
Tlie Southern Elections.
From the JST. Y. Tribune.
The results of the registrations and elec
tions in the Southern States have demon
strated that the colored race is not disappear
ing aa rapidly as Governor Sharkey and other
conservatives predioted it would ; that it is
not o intensely ignorant as not to know on
which side It ought to vote for the protection
of its own interesti ; that there is a white
loyal party at the South which, when backed
by the colored vote, is willing and aula to con
trol nearly or quite evttry Southern State ;
that, while negro-killing was 'an active occu
pation eo long as the n-'groes had no political
rights, it suddenly ami universally ceases
when blacks and whites are placed on the
same level ; and that all the Freedmen's
Bureaus, imaginably backed by a hundred
thousand bayonets, are not so effective to
proteot the richts of all classes of Southern
society as the ballot lias proven to be.
These demonstrations are all-important, for
they vindicate the creed of the Republican
party on the qtuFtion of reconstruction as
fully as their previous principles relative to
the wrong of t-lavery, and the practicability of
Sustaining the Union by foroe ol arms, were
vindicated. During the past two years the
Republican party has made a forward move
ment towards an advanced position, viz.: the
realization in practical statesmanship of the
vital truth asserted by the Declaration of Inde
pendence, that all men have aiatural, iu.'ilieu
able right to participate in the Government
under which thy live, and that all just gov
ernment is based on this partldpat on or con
sent of the governed. In takiug this advanced
position, a portion of our line was necessarily
thrown far forward, and sustained some
momeutary repulses and some casualties be
fore the main body of our armjr came up. As
usual, on critical occasions, a regiment of
vagabond deserts and stragglers struck for
the rear, under pittnse that those who were
bravely lighting the battlu in front wero briug
ing disaster on the cans. Rut the advanced
position has been reached, captured, held. As
. the result, the ten reconstructing States, where
for half a century no man could advocate
political equality and live, now vote for po
litical equality by large majorities. The ten
States which elected every President, from
Jackson to Buchauan, by their solid v te for
Slavery, will vote at the next Preferential
election, in equally solid phalanx, for a frae
ballot, Iree schools, frTe speech, fieelaUor, aud
Indissoluble union wuu vue iree fciates.
The conscrvr.tive policy of white suffraze
only hs been allowed to prevail ia Marylaut
and Kriitiukv. and tlise States are irrevoca
bly consigned t Ji. lnociacy aud disorder,
di.-iut. gruticn am decay. Had the same
' nolii v been wiiut.ted to prevail in the otlier
Southern fcu'es. the work of extermination
and jnaracre begun at Memphis aud New
Oilcans would have twept like a besom ol ue
st ruction over the whole South,' and all the
Bureaus and armies of the .Union could not
have stopped its course. The ballot, whioh, it
was chaiced, would bring on a war oi races,
has ended that war. As soon as tha constitu
tions of the reconstructing States shall have
firmly secured the country against the disfran
chisement of the blacks, it remains for the
Republican party to remove all disabilities
from the class oi Kebeis now nnaer nan, auu
thus in universal suffrage to "find universal
peace, with equal and exact justice to all men.
Tha Impeachment Question.
From the N. Y. Tme.
Unless the evidence gathered by the Judi
ciary Committee embraces facts altogether
new to the country, the report recommending
impeachment will amount to -nothing. The
allegations on which Mr. Boutwell, as the
mouthpiece of the majority, relies to justify
the measure and insure its success, are merely
a rehash of charges again and again preferred
during the progress of the reconstruction con
troversy, and always for political effeot. No
striking accusation appears no terse state
ment of fact that can aronse popular feeling
and reconcile it to a formal arraignment of
the Executive. "An unconstitutional usur
pation of power" In the organization of State
governments a "denial of the right of Con
gress to control" reorganization sins of omis
sion and commission in connection with these
positions: such are the leading counts in the
indictment presented by nr. uontweii, aud a
sorry exhibit they form as a groundwork of
impeachment. If partisan Ingenuity oan dis
cover no offense more tangible than those here
imputed, we may be quite sure that Mr. Johu
fon has little to fear from the recommendation
which has been reported.
Our opinion has always been that some
thing more convincing than the imputations
of partisanship would be needed to warrant
the extreme measure proposed. An excuse
for it might have been found had Mr. John
son's denial of Congressional control over re
construction assumed a practical shape, or
had he interposed his authority to prevent
me application ot enacted plans. 15 ut though
he has unquestionably said and dons many
foolish things, we have yet to learn that he
has in any instance overridden the Recon
struction law, or materially interfered with its
operation, liis proclamation of amnesty and
his removal of District oommanders are
among the most notable of his offenses; but
that neither theBe or other of his acts "sus
pended the operations of theaots of Congress,"
or in any manner impeded the execution of
the laws, is proved by the present condition
of the Southern work. It has gone forward
without any serious hindrance; and though
Mr. Johnson is entitled to no credit for the
results of laws passed in spite of his oppo3i
tion, at least the fact that the laws are in
smooth and peaceful operation is proof that
on his part there has been no gross usurpa
tion Eince Congress asserted its exclusive juris
diction.
For what, then, is Tie to be impeached? Is
dissent from the views of the Congressional
majority an offense that must be punished?
If obstinacy, or bad taste, or unsound judg
ruent, or concurrence with reokless advisers
were criminal, we could understand an indict
ment derived from Mr. Jonnson s course, ine
impolicy of the proceeding would be great
Its rniachievousness would be the
same; its partisan origin woul.d be none the
less discreditable. But offenses of opinion, or
errors of judgment, or violations of good
taste, are not impeachable; they afford excel
lent reasons for vigilance on the part of Con
gress and the unllinching enforcement of its
policy, but they cannot be decently or pru
dently made pretexts for the removal of a
I'resident.
And if Congress has, as at present, absolute
control over reconstruction, what is to be
feared from Mr. Johnson's action during the
remainder of his term ? It is competent to
Congress before the close of the approaching
session to remove the question from the arena,
by perfecting the work and admitting the
States on conditions that will be guarantees of
harmony and peace. Except for reasons that
are not avowed, then, why is the country to
be disturbed by impeachment ? The removal
of Mr. Johnson may be essential to the suooess
of a certain Presidential game, but we appre
hend that the country is not prepared to
submit to a sacrifice of the vital interests
which demand Congressional attention, simply
to promote the ends of faction. For, say what
they may, the advocates of impeachment cau-
not t-flace ihe impression that they are actu
ated by motives having no direct reference to
the public weal. Their wholo movement is
partisan; partisan in its conception, in its con
duct of the investigation, and in the recom
mendation which the majority of the committee
submit for the adoption of the House.
The phase which the'qtiestion has now as
sumed would iudeed be deplorable if there
were any probability of its suocess. The, pre
vailing hope is that the moderation aud good
senee of the majority of the House will tri
umph over the intemperate counsels of the
extremists, and so bring to naught an agita
tion which menaces with ruin every financial
and conrmercial interest. The public are evi
dently unwilling to assume that the Republi
can party will be mad ' enough to precipitate
the crisis which impeachment involves. Upou
this point the Wall street barometer is con
clusive. Gold rose a fraction or two under
the momentary excitement of the news
but quickly subsided to the figure at whijh it
opened. The same skepticism exists every
where. Ihe country has not much faith in
the judgment of the leading spirits of the
lloue, but it is not prepared to believe that
the dominaut party is intent upon committing
suicide.
General Grant.
1'ioin the If. Y. 'JVibune.
We hope that we do not greatly annoy our
contemporaries who see fit to descant on the
"Tribune's hostility to General Grant,"
"hatred of Grant," etc, when we say that the
General's testimony before the Impeachment
Committee proves him an able, sagacious,
thoughtful patriot, who cau hardly fail to
serve. his country with usefulness aud honor
in any trust which sho may devolve on him.
Ills early, resolute, persistent opposition to
President Johnson's efforts to have General

We do not advocate the nomination of
General Grant for next President, believing
tht this office can be better filled by one of
our eminent civilians, while tha General re
tainsas we trust he will retain till death
the command in chief of the military forces of
the republic. We protest against the false
and cowardly outcry that the Republioans
mntt run General Grant for next President or
be beaten. If we are indeed so desperately
nnt of favor with the People that onr prinoi-
ti1p will ha relucted bv them unless set off
and commended by a cockade, let us make a
manful struggle and be beaten. But those who
contrived and effected our defeat in certain
States this fall, on purpose to give them a
chance to sav. "Take Grant or be defeated 1"
nncht not to be cratified by the success of
c -
their base machinations.
There are those who support General Grant
for President because he is their first choice.
With these we can have no controversy.
Thev have a perfect rleht to their preference,
as we have to ours. If the Republican Na
tional Convention shall decide in their favor,
we shall give their candidate a cordial, hearty
support; for we know they will so support
our favorite if he should be the nominee. We
concede nay, we insist on, we rejoioe in the
merits ana services 01 tue man 01 meir cuon-.o,
as thev do of ours. But we have a very dif
ferent feeling for the guerillas who did their
utmost to divide and defeat the Republicans
last year, and (by resorting to more insidious,
underhand strategy) accomplished their end
this year, and now point to their achievement,
and say, "You see what we can do 1 Follow
our lead next year, or be beaten I" And we
can't help thinking General Grant must re
gard them much as we do.

Brothers. Philadelphia Ageuts: J. li. Liippin-
cou x uo. '
Trofessor Goldwin Smith is probably the
best historical lecturer we have, and his works
are all of them written with the care of a stu
dent and all the liberal sympathy of a man of
a republican age. His latest effort is the little
work before us. which is composed of three
lectures on the statesmen named, and consists
rather of a running commentary on the inllu-
ence they exerted than any attempt to sketch
their biographies. His lecture on Pym calls
forth considerable information which is new to
the general reader. That great leader of the
Commons in the trying days of revolution, is,
except in name, almost entirely unknown to
our publio. The essay on thi3 subject is
written with all that oare which characterizes
all that Professor Smith does. That portion
devoted to Pitt and Cromwell develops
nothing new, but shows in a yet stronger
light the bias of the author for the groat princi
ples of free government.
W-fasoK's Annals ok Philadelphia. By
John F. Watson. J. li. L.ippiucou at uo.
We welcome with cordial pleasure a new
edition of the rambling, entertaining work of
Mr. Watson. Of its contents it would, indeed,
be idle to speak at this late day. Every Phi-
ladelphian is familiar with its quaint aneo-
dotes, curious odds and ends of fact, aud all
that illy rut together miscellany which
makes it such pleasant reading. The first edi
tion was exhausted years ago, and was
printed in that old-fashioned style which is
so disagreeable to the eyes on poor paper,
with poor illustrations. Lippinoott now satis
fies the public with an edition fully up to
the highest point of the art. To the original
work is added an appendix of original data,
never before collected, and the whois worn,
enriched with valuable steel engravings, will
have a yet larger sale. It has sadly merited
a new dress to make it popular and secure
for it that host of readers which it deserves.

Mr. Grant has with care compiled all the
love-letters that have been written by dis
tineuished men. and cives us in his volume
epistles from Napoleon, Dr. Johnson, Webster,
Mirabeau, Sir Walter cott, and many others.
It shows one curious fact that whether the
lover be English, French, or American whe
ther he lived in the. days of IleloVse or those
or Webster whether te was a statesman, a
king, or a peasant ho wrote the same style
of love-letters. It seems, indeed, as though
the passion reduced all to an equality. The
work is of interest. 1 It reveals to u the
workings of the hearts of great men. But it
is only a compilation; there is nothing original

give advice to young men who are starting in
life. Having had thousands under his care,
and having Been who have suooeeded and who
have failed, he now lays before the publio, iu
a little work of a few pages, his advice. He
writes kindly, sensibly, and with that oantion
that proves that ha has well weighed each word.
We oommend this work with the warmest com

every educated young man Just commencing

hand of one who has noticed them with regret

Many of the poems laid before the reader in
the pretty volume Just issued by Miss carey
will give general satisfaction. They none of
them attempt to rise above the beauti'ul sim
plicity of the; most unaffeoted narrative; and
by contenting herself with a field which ia
eminently a lady's, the authoress has given
us some really charming little verses. Many
of them contain a depth of feeling whioh is
touching, and all of them have that pleasing
rhythm which proves a well-practised pen.
Some of her devotional poems have acquired a
wide popularity. Foremost among them all is
that well-known hymn oommenolng "One
sweetly solemn thought comes to me o'er and
o'er." The work is published in that elegant
style for which Messrs. Hurd & Houghton
have acquired so wide a fame, and is of a class
to merit a very general perusal.
Women's Strategy. A Novel. G. W. Carle-

Brothers,
If an immense number of piotures, with
printing in large type on thick paper, oould
secure popularity for a work, "Woman's
Strategy" would rival Sir Walter's happiest
productions. But we fear that something more
is required, and that it does not possess. The
story is a sensational one of social life, and
although not bad in its plot, possesses so many
crudities as to mar all enthusiasm. It is of
the stereotyped style of fiction.
