IT IS attn., that every distillery in New
York has been closed by the revenue offi
cers. And it is also said that Philadelphia
continues able to supply the markets of
every eastern city with whisky for a• less
price than the government tax.. This fact
- is alluded to, with ant air of Modest pride, -
by some of the journals pxinted between
the Delaware and the Schuylkill. Is this
flourishing business to continue - uninter
rupted ?
Tu REruntacmcs of the Cleveland, 0.,
district send Hon. R. P. Spaldhig and Hon.
'S. S.. Osborn as delegates to Chiettgo,"taunt
ntiously instructing them for Grant and
Wade. The' Leader protests that Colfax is
stronger than Wade in the district, and that
the, resolution "was not" understood by the
Convention and'was adopted by default,
because nobody wished to assume special
prominence in opposition to it." Jr the
Leader states the ease correctly, we must,
admit that the Western Reserve Yankees
have been more complaisant or obtuse than
they wete ever known to be before.
ALL THE world and his wife are familiar
ly mindful of the cid - story about the law
'yer, whose client, quarrelled for an oyster,
and who settled the litigation by swallow
ing the subject of dispute, awarding to each
party an emptytshell. Mr. Jourisos's coun
sel are dealing by their client upon a simi
lar principle. While that unhappy "Imre.
Vidual" only finds his merited fate post
poned just so many hours longer as his ad
vocates can occupy with their rhetoric, and
retires from his contest with the people a
ruined man, Messrs. EvArrs and GROES
BECK have risen upon his martYrilom into a
wide and well-earned professional fame.
Evidently, it is the lawyers again who have
won all the profit, in fighting this battle for
Executive usurpation.
WE SURRENDER much space this MOM
ihg to the eloquent and most convincing
argument of Hon. Tuomes l'Prwa.tars, as
a Manager for Impeachment, before the
Senate. Compelled by the crowded state of
our columns to be content with extracts
only, we have attempted to select such
paragraphs from the official report as shall
give a just" idea of the general line of the
argument. - The speech is, however, so
compactly and symmetrically logical that
our condensation arid omissions necessarily
impair the effect as a whole. The passages
reprinted will justly command the approv
ing perusal of his constituents.
The Philadelphia Prue rema r k s:
Mr. Williams has long been recognized
as one of the leading lawye rs of the House,
and this reputation has been fully sus:
tained. His argument is rigidly ana l y ti ca l ,
and seems 'to be a compend of crushing
truths rather than an elaborate discourse..
His peroration-is beautiful, rising, as it does
into a sublimity that rivals the masterly ef:
forts of our greatest orators. •
TITE Ohio Dethocracy,having disfranchised
the students at the colleges and seminaries
of the State, are delighted to imag,ine that
Republicanlisn loses some two . Alibusanil
votes therepy, A decision of the Supreme
I 1
xivams continued his :speech in, the
Itnpeachment trial yesterday. Mr. STAN
EERY follod-s him with an argument which,
if read as well as filed, will occupy the
whole of this day and perhaps a part of to
morrow. In that case Mr. BINGHAM may
not commence the closing argument until
Monday. This protracted speech-making
wearies the Senate, 'without influencing a
vote. The solitary benefit to result from it
will be the abbreviation of the - discussions of
Senators themselves. In the meantime the
foolish man at the other end of the Avenue,
whose confidence in the efficiency of orato
ry, has often been persanally - exhibited to
an admiring people, fancies now that his
lawyers are ensuring his acquittal by their
ambitious rhetoric. Already, it is reported,
he has made his plans for a heavy official
campaign against the Republicans. Ile
means first to kick ST_ TONtilld will
then proceed, under his vindicated fight of
removal at pleasure, to fill every office in
the country with his creatures. His delu
sions are the amusement of. Washington.
The eagerness for emigration to Liberia.
is observed to be now greater, in the South
ern States, than at any previous period
since the establishment of that colony upon
the African coast. The regular ship, Gol
conda, belonging to the Colonization Soci
ety, which sails this week from Charleston,
takes 659 emigrants, her full capacity, and
leaving behind nearly 7,000 applicants for
passage. On the other hand, it was resolv
ed
at a meeting of colored men, numerously
Attended in Philadelphia, a day or two since,
that the whole scheme of Liberian Coloni
zation from this country should be discour
aged in all practicable Ways. The evident
ly increasing desire of the snore intelligent
of the Southern freedmen to transfer them
selves to a new region, Where a larger and
more fruitful liberty may be realized than I
in the newly freed States 'of the South,
seems to have inspired their Northern
brethren with apprehensions, in which
anxiety for the future of their race on this
Continent is perhaps more palpable than
any philanthropic solicitude for the
welfare of the emigrants'.to another.
But the fact that Liberian emigration ad
dresses itself just now with extraordinary
attractiveness to the Southern freedmen,.
seems inexplicable when viewed in cones..
tion with the, recent and conspicuous ameli
oration of their political condition; and the
resultink, improvement in their social status
in that quarter of the country. That slav
ery no longer exists, that an entire political
equality of races is recoguizecl, that the
black citizen no more limited than is his
white neighbor in accomplishing the high- r
eat aspirations for personal and social ad- '
vancement, that, by the mere weight of
numbers; his race finds itself entrusted with
the control of political 'events in ten States
of the Union, that offices and honors are
openJo him, andlthat the colored vote, if
properly orgaidied is it inightlze, May rea
sonablyclaim to be decisive not only of
State but National elections for at least the
coming generation,---norie of thise consid:
erations seem to satisfy the intelligent freed
man. What to him more than to the man
of a clearer skin, are political honors and
influence, the right of personal freedom;
an entire - equality with the white race in
theory, without the rights of the soil which
everywhere in the South are de
nied to him ? The freedmen can
only be attached to the citizenship which
has just been conferred upon them, by en:
abling them to become land-holders. It is
the feeling expressed in the old cry of
"lands for the landless," in which we find
the explanation of the growing movement
for Liberian Emigration. The Southern
freedman has, theoretically, the legal right`
to invest his earnings in land, but, in fact,
the white race now owning the soil ex
cludes him everywhere by a common and
absolute refusal to sell to any colored pur
chaser. The desire for the ownership 0f..,
sonic small portion of the earth is cozninon
to all races in civilized countries like ours.
The freedman feels it, as well as the white
planter who was lately his master.. No
where have landed possessions been more
an element of power to the holders than in.
the lat6ly slave:holding South. _The freed
man, coming into his personal liberty, ra
tionally aspires to the same privilege. If
he cannot'enjoy it in Alabama or the Caro
linas, he - Will go elsewhere, even to the
tropical birth-place of his race. He may
consider that, with time, will surely come
thqremoval of these restrictions which the
jealousy and selfishness of his late masters
are now .iMposing upon the ownership of the
soil, but hat time is too long: he cannot be
content to await its passage. Hence this in
creased nieiement toward that foreign soil
which' offers its broad expanse to his occu
pation, and where, sitting under his own
vine, he•ean claim for himself and his chil
dren an inalienable home. • Looking nut
from the shade of his palm trees upon the
rich values, the luxuriant savannahs, or
the blooming slopes of ihe plantation which
calls Win - its unquestioned master,
he feels the pride of his ownership of the
earth under the African Equator, as a sub
stantial gratification far outweighing the
theoretical blessings which he found so hate
fully illusive in the, - American State.. 'And

GEN. NEGLEY.
, . .
We re-produce from the Nashville Preis
and Timea, an editorial article hi g hly c,om-
Alimentary to our distinguished fellow-citi
zen, Gen. JAS. S. NEGLEY. Coming, as
this tribute does, from a wholly impartial
source, and from a point at which Gen.
`NEGLEv sustained a conspicuous part in the
late war for the Union, it( will - e all the
more gratifying to himself and o his nu
merous friends and admirers here -
- . GEE. JAS. S. NEGLEY. 1
.__,
. W e see that this distinguished officer and
loyal soldier and citizen is mentioned as a
candidate for Congress in the Twenty-sec
ond district of 'Pennsylvania, subject to the
nomination ofthe Republic= District Coif;
vention, in pliice Of Hon. J - .K. Moorhead,
who declines; re-election. ' It ivould be
graceful in the party to give the nomination
to such a candidate by actlamation, and we
trust this will be done.
During a large portion of the war of the
late rebellion General Nfgley served in this
department, first as a brigadier and then as
Major General. He had command of Nash
ville after Buell fell back into Kentucky to
head off Bragg, while the city was besieged
by. Breckinridge, Forrest, Morgan and An
derson; and how he held the scarcely forti
fied place against such odds, is not yet for
gotten by the loyal peolile•who had sought
refuge within the post,, and can scarcely be
forgotten by ;the present' incumbent orfhe
White House. This part, of General Neg
ley's military career, where he was unem
barrassed by the orders of sometimes in
competent superiors, but held command for
h' short while -alone, is unmarked by the
slightest error, and has endeared his name
to the hearts of loyal men in Tennessee.
Negley was hardly ever in post Command,
except in time of danger. He had command
of Columbia and of Nashville while danger
continued, but when those places were in
( the rear of the "advancing Union hosts, Neg
ley went to the front where fighting was to
be done. He distinguished himself at Stone
river,
fighting through the whole battle no
bly, but on the afternoon of the third ,day_
making one of the most successful attacks
of the war. For his gallantry and the mili
tary ability displayed in this battle he was
made Major General. -
In the advance from Murfreesboro to Chat
tanooga, Gen. Negley occupied, generally,
one of the positions of most importance.
He fought frequently under great disadvan
tages,. hut very successfully, and it may be
safely said that no general of the army, ex
cept Thomas, contributed more to save from
destruction the defeated army' of Rosecrans
at Chickamauga than Gen. Jas. S. Negley.
Saying, of course, nothing to the dispar
agement of whoever may be the opponent
of Gen. Negley for the Republican nomina
tion, we will, however, remark this : That
the man must have ugh claims, indeed,
upon the'country and the party who should
be 0 - referred to Gen. Negley. Nor would
we meddle with the district affairs of our
Union friends in other States, but whenever
one of the champions of our salvation from
rebel rule finds advancement, or advance
ment finds him, we must be permitted to
throw up our hat.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL
QUESTION.
The movement against Mr. PENDLETON.
gains ground in the Democratic,. party, "and
his assumed a very signifierint and *linen
tial.phase. is evident that the prospects
of thit gentleman for the nomination; which
seemed so flattering a few weeks since, are
now rapidly diminishing and every' day
growing, less. New York letter to the
Philadelphia .4:dger L ttOer date of the 18th,
says:.
The Manhattan (Filth avenue) Club, as
you are , aware, is the leading Democratic
organization in this city, the wealth and so
cial position of most of its members impart
ing to it an - intluencenridjur importance to
which the: Tammany Hall had scarcely a
claim. This club, within the few evenings
past, it is worth while saying, has been at
tentively canvassing the probable result of
the Democratic National Convention, which
is to be in some sense their guests, in. the
course of a few weeks.'
Though I am mot it libert . y to den! with
details, no confidences are violatedinsayirke
I that, after a survey of 'the whole field, Ka
with a thorough acquaintance with the feel
ings and iwishes of the •leading men of the
party, at the best, the Club Ims come to the
conclusion that it will be impossible for the
Convention to agree either upon Mr. Pendle
ton or Governor Seymour, though theta.
will be a hot preliminary struggle by the
adherents of each for the mastery.
ilancock's name, it is believed, will then
be brought forward; but as there are objec-,
tions to him which the Club do not believe
can be overcome, he will receive a compli
mentary vote, and then be put asidebtorder,
that the following may be agreed to as the
compromise which is finally to prevail: For
President, Senator Hendricks, of Indiana.
For Vice President, Governor English; of
Connecticut.
With the settled conviction that this is to
be the programme, the Manhattan Club is
now going to work, though it is admitted
that there may be a slip up on English in
favor of John T. Hoffman, of New. York,
if the friends of the latter can be induced to
'relinquish the Governorship, which they
are keeping in reserve for him.
The New York. Tirne,l of the same date
says •
The movement among the Democrats in
favor of nominating Gen. Hancocirfor the
Presidency is gaining in strength. The Poet
mentions a meeting on Monday night o at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, of prominent gentle
men, military and political, to talk over the
Democratic nomination, and those tesent,
(were unanimous in their preferencefo Han
bock. We also hear.of vigorous movements
in Washington in his favor. His chlefsup
porters in the North are among the Anti-
Copperhead or War Democracy, who dislike
Penclleton's war record of other times, as
_well as his repudiation policy of the present
day. We notice that one °four citycotern
pontries thinks Hancock would be opposed
by the Southern Democracy becauie he was
accounted one of the most brilliant soldiers
in the Union army. But, if we may judge
the Southern pryer, it looks as though
Hancdck would receive the undivided sup
port of the South. •
A Washington letter, of the 28tb, says;
A meeting of tritium Mal Democritic poli
ticians was held here on Sunday evening
last, and the subject of the next Preside nc y

A Slander Nailed.
[From the Philadelphia. Press:3
The National Temperance Advocate, the
official organ of the cause in the 'United
States, comes up to the defence of 'the char
acter of General Grant against the sweeping
aspersions of partisan anger. The language
is carefully weighed, and is in the nature of
a judgment, being the result arrived at after
a patient and conscientious investigation(of
the whole question. Coming as it does
from a high official source, we trust it will
be read in every temperance lodge or circle
in tlie State. These bodies owe to them
selves and to the country to olefend the
Character of those public men who do ad
vocate, not by precept and arghtnent, but
by example, the great prineiplesi of temper
ance. Spartan sobriety characterizes the
daily walk and life of General Grant--so
solemnly affirms the chief executive of the
national temperance organization. Is not'
this evidence weighty enough to more thaw
balance the intemperate aceusation of irre
sponsible scribblers.
Having thoroughly ,
investigated the mat
ter, we give it our deliberate opinion that
General Grant does not now drink--tbat is,
anything alcoholic. The Hon. Wm. E.
Dodge, - president of the National Temper
ance Society, than whom no one can be
more hostile to everything approaching in
temperate habits in a public man, has been
to Washington recently. While there, in
'company with General Howard, he had. a
long interview with General Grant. The I
conversation was candid straightforward,
and ingenious; and though it would not be
right to repeat all that was said, Mr. Dodge
has reported enough to us to convince us
that no friends of temperance need have any
cause for anxiety as to the temperance prin
ciples of General Grant.

l'ilE NEW license law of Massachusetts
1 -contains some peculiar provisions. Though
framed by the opponents of prohibitor* leg
islation, it recognizes the principle of pro
hibition in a section enabling a majority of
the voters in any town or city to prevent
the granting of licenses to sell liquor to be
drunk on the premises, tho only exception
'being in the case of innkeepers, who may,
notwithstanding such vote, be licensed to
sell to their guests. A license may be for
feited by the sale of liquor to "an intoxi
cated ;person," to a minor, or to any one
who by excessive indulgence "injures his
health, exposes Ids ,thmily to want or vio
lence, or the towno..o.t•of his settlement
to eipense:" Pro*WAi.,4re made for-en
trance upon the prindoes_of the licensee at
any time for the purpose of analyzing his
liquorsolie license to be forfeited in case
they prove "impure or of bad quality."
Ile is no; to sell between midnight and live
in the morning or on Sunday. A license is
to cost front fifty to one hundred- dollaxs,
and the licensee must pay in addition a per
centage upon the gross amount of his sales.
Governor Bullock kept the actin lns posses
sion until it became a law without his sig
nature, and then returned it with a message
to the effgct that he would not resist the will
of the people, but that he deemed the meas
urcunwise. •

census to be occupied in the various branches
of industry, not ieluding agriculture.

Our lands are - pultivated by 2,423,895
farmers ; 2,389,030 till . those of France.
These numbers do not include the farm
hands or laborers,lbut refer merely to the
proprietors or otherwise responsible heads
of farms. 1 -
In special tradeslor callings the following
suggestive comparisons occur; There are
in France 324,265 ° 0cers 172,992 of whom
are women. In thi connery, accreting to the
last census, there were only 40,080 grocers.

The comparativeistatistics of mental and

curious: In the linited States, the blind

amount to 30,780; !the • deaf and dumb to

still partial, only because the public records
of the United Statek do not furnish such
varied and minute details as those ofFrante ' '
—offer several themes for reflection to Social
and political econtanists. But, besides
