Tire "journals of the country have dwelt
with such particularity upon the frauds sys

. the tax upon whisky, as to lead'to the , im
preraion that the existing system, as it is
administered, has no other defects. But the
tobacco trade has also a record most discte
ditable to our excise laws, or to the officials
charged with enfbrcing the collection of the
imposts, or to both. - The legal taxes im
posed upon the one hundred million pounds
of tobacco of all varieties used in this
country last year shoulf . have' yielded at
least $85,000,000, but, in fact, only the sum
of $19,705,827 was realized . from. this
source to the Treasury. -
There are reasons for believing that the
now bill, which the House passed and sent
to the Senate on Saturday, reducing some
what the tobacco tax, and very materially
that on distilled liquors, with radical
changes in the methods of collection, will
result in checking these frauds in the future
and in securing an increased revenue. The

a few. soldiers to Museum's support, and
here and there a handful of milk-and-water-
Conservative-Republicans in Cusses train,

would consider it a good Toint gained. The
scheme is a good one—except that it can
never win. •
DEMOCRACY AND MILITARY DES-
The restoration of Arkansas is immediately
followed by an order from Gen. GRANT; to
Gen. McDowzta., the local CommandaUt,
instructing the hitter to turn over the State
government to the civil authorities as soon
as • he may with safety to the public
interests.. In making this gratifying an
nouncement of the re-establishment of
civil supremacy in one of the rebel States,
to be followed, as it will be at once, by sin
ilar orders for each of the six other States
incluOed in the Omnibus Law, ewe. mF3t
again express our surpilse, that the Demo
cratic party, through its members in hoth
Banns of , Congress, should have pls i ced
itself so sparely upon the record in favoi of
the continuance of the "military despot
isms'," which they have heretofore steopy
and bitterly, but inconsistently, denounced.
The plea which they will make, in this
most unpatriotic and un-democratic endeav
or to exclude the people of those States from
the privilege of governing themselves—that
the new civil governments have been inau
gurated under Republican auspices Is one
which will have no weight whatever, with an
Intelligent and discriminating public.
They have remitted themselves- to the ex
treme ground of the unreconstructed rebels,
that a "military despotism", is,better than
that comprehensive Democracy which, con

IMPEACHMENT, ONCE MORE.
For two years past we have steadily main
tained not simply that President Jormson
was deserving of Impeachment , but That
his Impeachment was imperatively _ de
manded, for the continuance _of the just
balance of powers essential giriernment
by the people. Month niter month has evi
dence accumulated showing the, correctness
of this view of the case. 'The action of
Congress itself, not on one question merely,
but on many questions, and these of the
highest gravity, has given the same inter
pretation to recent events. of our political
history. If the President has kept himself
clearly within the true limiti of his prerog
atives; if there has been between him and
Congress only a differeoce of opinion as to
what measures were , moat suitable, he
steadily keeping to his prescribed functions;
then Congress has been guilty of 'pressing
its authority out of due proportion, of en
deavoring to circumvent and baffie the Presi
dent in his lawful conduct, for party ends.
This we do not believe. A constitutional
majority, andmore, of the House of Repre
sentatives have thought otherwise, incur
ring in consequence the high responsibility
of arraigning the President before the Sen
ate on charges of weighty import. A con
stitutional majority of the Senate at one
time concurred in opinion, on this very
point, with the, House, and incited it to pre
fer Articles of Impeachment against the
President That he was not found guilty ,
has become part of the history of these
times'. Upon the facts, as developed before
and during the august trial, the student of
politics, to the remotest ages, will have no
difficulty in making up a definite judgment
as to the considerations and influences
whieh led to his acquittal. Whatever Sen
ators may fancy, as to the plausibility or suf
ficiency of the pleas they put , in to excuse
their changes of front, in the present tumril
tuary condition - of popular opinion, they
may be certain that, so soon as the waves of
excitement shall run dawn, and the whole
transaction be viewed dispassionately from
the stand-point of pure criticism, the case
will be vastly worse for their reputations
than it seems to be now.
But, the Report detailing, the evidence
taken by the Managers of Impeachment as
to the kind and amount of pressure brought
to bear upon certain Senators, must settle
the case even now in the mind of every
man who reads it. - That corrupt means
were employed, and that Senators acted in
accordance therewith, is made incontestibly
to appear. . It does not matter, to the gen
eral result, that actual participation in base
and unlawful inducements is not brought
home to every Republican Senator, who re
fused to convict the President after having
voted that his removal of air. STANTON was
illegal and usurpatory. The fact that such
inducements were presented, and' that the
following action was in conformity thereto,
is abundantly sufficient to raise and sustain
themost incriminating presumptions. •
While we thus held, and still hold, we did
not fail to insist that . Congress should , not
enter upon the impeachment business, until
it had exhausted all other obvious measures
of redress, and ,was so clearly of one mind
as to ensure the complete and speedy suc
cess of the proceedings. Hence, we did not
favor the Supplemental Articles, that were
devised under the inspiration of disappoint
ment consequent upon the apprehended fail
ure to obtain a conviction. We thought it
much better to let the case stand precisely as
it was presented to the Senate and the
world; for upon that presentation the
judgment of posterity will necessarily be
fmmed, and ought to be. -
Mr. STEVENS'S new indictment of the
President, it seems to us, will conduce to no
valuable end, not already attained, or sure
to be' btained without it. Nothing is more
natural than that Mr. &rsYstis, and other
prominent advocates of impeachment,should
desire to have the whole case made out for
historic purposes, against , Mr. JOHNSON.
But he and they should remember that a
section of the Judiciary Committee, at the
last session of Congress, covered exhaus
tively the whole conduct of the President
in respect to the re-organization of the re
volted States, the dis Position made of mon
eys arising from the sale of confiscated prop
erties,, and the, management of railways
seized or constructed by military authority.
It is difficult to perceive how these impor
tant matters can be\ handled more- lucidly
or conclusively than they were. Touching
them, as it appeared to us, an. invincible
case was made out against the President.
The House listened, and decided in his fa
yor and against itself. We have no doUbt
whit the ultimate historian will adjudge of
the cowardice of the House of Representa
tives in that particular. No elucidation is
needful by Mi. STEVENS, to secure its full.
and irrevocable condemnation. Either the
,President was flagrantly wrong , and illegal
in his PolleY of Reconstruction, or else
Congress was factions and' unreasonable to
the persistent opposition it made thereto.
When Impeachment was finally entered
upon, we felt and sea& that the strongest
p o i n ts against the President } were ignore 49

to the skifficiency of the spo l lfieetioniadopt;
'id, and dist:thus a short and :.T.lmplete case
would be made out. The event disclosed
that Senators, even among the most .eminent,
did not find it difficult to go back upon them
selves, to deny any binding force to their
own most solemn judgments, and to put
themselves on record, in the most impres
sive judicial proceedings of the age, under
circumstances, raising the strongest con
ceivable suspicions of their corruptness:
What we object to, however, is not so
much any presentation of charges and
~evid
ence, which Mr. STEvEris or any body else
may think desirable for the immediate under-
standing of the ease, and the ultimate forma
tion of the judgment of mankind respect
ing it, as any movement looking to a possible
renewal of actual proceedings in impeach
ment. The Senate has made a revelation
of its qualities which is sufficiently revolt
ing without furnishing it further opportunity.
There is reason if not to believe; at least to
fear, that more votes than were cast for the
acquittal of the President could easily have
been obtained, no nuitter,what the charges
against him, or the proofs by which (those
charges were stietaine The disgust of the

FRESH DEMOCRATIC DISPLEASURE.
So long as the States that engaged in the
Rebellion remained under the Military su
pervision of the General Government, the
Democrats throughout the whole country,
and particularly their representative men in
the two. Houses of C ngress, were marvel
lously indignant, an let no occasion slip,
in season or out ofeason, to make their
ex
cited phraseologies u on the rights of the
feeling manifest. hey descanted in ,I 3
people of the respective States to representa
tion in the government exercised over them,
straining this point to such a degree as to
render the inference, inevitable, that it was
their belief that the prerogative to partici
pation in the government is so inherent and
vital that no misdemeanors or crimes can
suffice to alienate it, and protested that the
representation of all the States, under any
conceivable condition of affairs, was so es
sential to the just and necessary balance of
power, that a legal and rightful govern
ment could not exist without it.
Well; Congress having secured all the
preliminaries it deemed requisite, at length
proceeded to re-admit Arkansas to represen
tation as of old,in the two chambers. Against
this proceeding, the Democratic members
spontaneously and emphatically protested,
and their objections are reiterated and sus
tained by the Democratic journals, east and
west, north and south. Why is this? Sim
ply because the Democrats regard the man
ner of re-admission as of more consequence
than the fact of re-admission itself. A dis
interested observer would naturally suppose
that the actual representation of a particular
State, upon terms eventually satisfactory to
Congress and the local authorities, was all
that the spirit of Republican institutions re
quired; that Congress, in view of the cir
cumstances, could reasonably stipulate for a
recognition of the important changes I
wrought out by the war, and that the local I
government could give such assurances as
would bring the State into harmony with '
the existing status of the country; but the
Democrats do not see this, and hence pro
test that all this is irregular andmischievous.
Their obtuseness results from two different 1
causes. Let us elucidate!
1. In 1832, when Mr.. CAz.aovx and his
lieutenants invented the modern doctrine
of "State 'Rights," and proposed to exempli
fy it, President JACKSON officially developed
the true theory of the Constitution. In this
service he was admirably seconded by the
genius and wisdom of Mr. WEBSTER and
other Whig leaders. JAMION maintained
that the authority, of the national govern
ment had its source in the consent of the
people, and not in negotiations between the
several States, and, consequently, that it
was paramount and supreme. From
this view it followed logically that no State 1 i
had a right to withdraw from the Union ;
that an attempted withdrawal was rebellion;
and that such rebellion, suceessfnlly resisted,
put the States and the individuals concerned
it at the mercy of the government. This
was the popular Democratic doctrine so long
as the influence of General Jecxsow pre-,
veiled.
After a season, when Jeoxsori had re
tired to the Hermitage, the political heresy
he had combatted was revived, and flour
ished with greater vigor thiin before. The
slaieholders had resolved to revolutionize
the• government, so as to make its political
form harmonize with the "peculiar institu
tion;" and for reasons since.demonstrated to
be, cogetit,` determined to make the Demo
cratic party the instrument for accomplish
ing tine momentous revolution. Dentocracy
was to be betrayed in the name of Democ
racy. Ho insuperable :difficulties were
found In working the mass of Democrats
over from the poiltion of JACKSON to that of
CALHOUN; and for the simple' fact that they
were moved "not . not by judgment but by pas
sion; not by conviction but by prejudice.
Having been converted to the false theory
of thbovernment out of which the rebellion
was born, and having either justified or ex
cused the revolt from its inception to the
present hour on that, basis, it is not a matter
of astonishment that the Democrats stick to
their false ideas, against the decisions of
COngresti and the Supreme Court. and . the
sterner arbitrament of battle to which they
have been subjected.
O. We cannot, however, admit that no
other element mingles in their opposition
to the Congressional plan of Reconstruc
tion, the consummation of which has al
ready begun. Other and selfish considera
tions enter into their calculations. Before
the Southern States embarked in the revolt,
they were Democratic. If they had not
been, they would have remained in the
Union. The Democrats, naturally desire
that in riming back , the DemoCratic ascen
dency in them shall not be shaken die the
principles for which the revolt . was made

share in the su ffrage. Nominally, the line
of distinction rail on color, but really on a '
conception of aristocracy, not clearly de
fined, but operating with remarkable cer
tainty. If the revolter' States could be re
stored on that basis, MT, PENDLETCM, or
whoever shall be nominated 'for President
by the Democratic National Convention,
would be passably sure of getting all the
.electoral votes of these States, and might
have at least a possibility of obtaining
enough more to be chosen. ,
As it did not seem possible to secure Re
construction on Ms plan, the Democrats set
out to "court the blacks." They prose
cuted this enterprise' vigorously for awhile,
though not with the delicacy and sincerity
essential to_ ensure Emma The Jots wok
so clumsily managed that it failed The
penetration of the. . . blacks proved greater
than the Deinocritie capacity . for dissimuia
bon.
Hereupon,the Democrats , reverted to their
former position that this was "a white.
man's government;" that the revolted States:
had lost none of their rights and fallen
under no disabilities by their treasonable
conduct; and that they should be uncondi
tionally restored to their original , status.
As the Democrats saw no way, in which
they could be sure to , get the electoral votes
of these States, they preferred to still have
them held in abeyance, and not allowed to
vote at all, rather than incur the hazard of
having them all, or nearly all, :vote for
GRANT and COLFAX.
Fortunately, however, they are powerless
in the premises, and the. Southern States
will all be restored upon lenient and just
conditions, clearly indicating the magnan
imity of the Re Publican party, in aCcord
ance with the rights of all Classes of the in
habitations of the country, and tending
powerfully to guard against the recurrence
of other revolts, because settling permanent

THE DEMOCRACY AGAINST REGIS..
TRATION.
We find in the State Guard of the 26th
the following very important statement con
cerning the pending snit to test the iialidity
of the late Registration law. That journal
says:
We are able to say positively that the law
will be adjudged unconstitutional by a strict
party vote of the Supreme Court. We have
the - very highest authority for saying that
such a decision is now fixed upon. Senator
Wallace deems this decision necessary to
enable him to carry Pennsylvania against
Grant. And why ? The Registration law
cannot deprive any man legally entitled to
the ballot of a vote. All its provisions are
well calculated to guard and protect the bal
lot-box from tniud. But this very stringen
cy is what renders the law obnoxious to the
Democratic leaders. Hence the purpose to
break down the barrier against fraud at the
ballot-box, and let coffee-colored naturaliza
tion papers decide the result of the great
elections in this &ate in 1868.
It will, of come, be startling news to
the able lawyers of the State, who have
thoroughly examined this subject, and who
are entirely convinced of the sound princi
ple of constitutional law on which- the
Registration law is based, to hear it is con
templated, if not now resolved by the Su
preme Court to pronounce it unconstitu
tional.
The judges of our Supreme Court will
stand divided, poliiically, three Democrats
to two RepubliCans. Time was when the
political opinions of the citizen were an un
known element in his judicial decisions from
the bench. That . diy, we are pained to
confess, has long since gone by, in this.
Commonwealth, and no revelation of judi
cial subserviency to mere partizan ends can
any longer surprise us. It woukl be hop
ing against any reasonable hope, to look for
any other judgment than that which our
cotemponiry foreshadows, from a tribunal
composed of a majority of Democratic
Judges, who are in turn controlled by the
one great fact that an lionestpoll of the pop
ular vote is not, in this !State, a reixignized
element or Democratic success. We must
submit to this, or any other result, I as may
be required from law-abiding citizens, only
commending it to the attention ofßepubli
.cans as one of the bitter fruits of their inex
cusable neglect to purge the fraudulent poll
which elected one of these Democratic
Judges. Had this duty, imperative and of
easy accomplishment as it was, been prop
erly heeded, we should not now kave thia
arther outrage to anticipate.
THE C ['ARTIER'S VALLEY RAILROAD
We have conversed with some of the
members of the Committee, who are here
obtaining subscriptions to
-the above named
road, and regret to find that they have not
met with a hearty response from our business
men, as they had a right to expect. While
the Committee say that several of our mer
chants have responded cheerfully and
cordially, many, who sell a large amount
of goods to the section directly interested
in this road, have not done so. To 'us it is
passing -strange that it should-need any ar
gument to convince our business men that
it is to their interest to furnish the small
amount needed to complete this road. The
trade it will bring to Pittsburgh will doubly
repay all their investment in, a few months
after • its completion. Besides, it is a road
that must enure .to the benefit of the trade
of Pittsburgh alone. It is short and local,
having no other terminus but this city; and
surely 'the pelt'' , sum asked by the Com
mittee should be raised- at once. If our
business men fail to contribute the small
sums required of them, they will not fail to
regret it when it may be too late. Some of
the Committee express themselves in terms
of 'much disappointment, to think that they
should have to call more than once to in
duce our merchants, whose interests they
are here to promote as Well as their own,
for the small aid they ask.

CURE OF FISTULA.
Da. KEYSER : I write to thank you for your kind
ness and scienillic management of my disease, for
which I Called to consult yon some time in Jantuiry
last. You will remember that I had a comglitation
of diseases, which finally ended in a terrible fistula.
which I had been advised to "let alone," ink re-
count of a harassing - cough, which it was feared
might fasten it on my lungs. I knew tbat the peen
lair mode of treating diseases like mine was by a.
cutting operation, which, I! successful at all, would
naturally throw the disease upon the lungs or some
other vital organ, on account of the suddenness of
the cure and the immediate check tothe discharge,
which I believed was a salutary provision of nature
to get rid of some morbid condition of the system.
I feel perfectly satisfied that your method or treat
meta, purifying the system, and local applications
to the Astulous part, must cure, if anything could, -
without cutting, which I find it did, and I am happy
to report myself well in every particular, with
sounder and better health than I have bad for years.
I would also add that the applications you =Wei'
were almost painless, and have left me a new man,
with all the energies and vigor of restored health.
Yours, gratefully, . I
