Important to Grocers. The Internal
Jieceaue Record say.s that a number of gro
cers in different parts of the country have
pot into trouble through inattention or igno
rance of their obligations under the revenue
laws with respect to articles liable to stamp
duty. For the information of growers we
would state that sardines, anchovie.,prppar
ed mustard. Fyruns in bottles, jams, jellies,
meat and fih, sauces of different kind?, co
lognes, cosmetic, and other articles are lia
ble to stamp duty, whether made in the U
r.ited States or imported. The stamps must
be affiked on each article offered or exposed
far salii. Sardines, anchovies, sances.syrup.s,
prepared mustard, jams and jellies, are sub
ject to stamp duty according to'thc weight
of each package ; a one cent stamp if the
package does not exceed two pounds in
Weight, and a stamp of an additional cetit
for every pound or fraction of a pound in
excess of two pounds in weight. The pen
alty of each offense is $10. Dealers should
bear thin in mind, and if they are not posted
should send and get a copy of the internal
revenue regulations, thus saving them much
trouble and expense.
Good Friday. An exchange says that
the Legit-la ture, by some unaccountable ini
pule, declared Good Friday (a moveable
feast, observed by Roman Catholic, IVotest
ant Episcopal, and partially by Lutherao,
German Reformed, and some other German
denominations), to be a public holiday.
Grateful as the enactment may be and will
be to large bodies of our Christian citizens,
it is clearly in conflict with the genius and
theory of our political system, and betrays
on the part of the legislator, an utter igno
rance of our history and institutions. If
these denominations may have Goad Friday,
or Holy Week, declared a State holiday,
the Presbyterians, Methodists, Congrega
tioualista, and other lesser denominations,
embracing an equally large and influential
body of Christians, arc entitled to the polit
ical recognition of their sacred festivals.
The fact is, these days are ecclesiastical, not
po'i'ical creations, and their observance
should be brought about by the force of pub
lic opinion, not by statute.
The Gkouoia Murders. President
GrauL, dispatches say, has ordered a thor
ough investigation, through military com
manders, of the murders in Georgia. This
is no more than the country, and especially
the loyal men of that State, had a right to
expect. If the reports forwarded by corres
pondents are erroneous, it is time thnt they
should be exposed. If they are correct, it
is the duty of the government to use its
power to proteet the loyal people, white or
biacic, Northern or CHiutncrn by Mrth, in
the enjoyment of every right. The time
has come to stop these outrages, and to
teach the asyisMiis that men have a ripht to
think and to speak as they please iu this
couutry.
IIomk Indistkt. On the first page of
to day's paper will be found the resolutions
passed at a meeting of the friends of Home
Industry in Philadelphia, on April 20th.
These resolutions contain many thinss of
interest to the friends of protection, and will
be read with interest by all. The question
of adequate protection to American manu
factures is one that will enter prominently
into the coming political content for Govern
or in this State, and hence it becomes the
friends of that measure to be on the alert,
an J prepared to discuss the principles in
volved in the issues of the campaign.

Indiana and the Fifteenth Amendment.
The muddle in the Indiana Legislature
overthe ratification of the fifteenth amend
ment is rather trying to the understanding
of outsiders. It will bo remembered that
the Democratic members, some months ago,
defeated the ratification by resigning in a
body, with a few exceptions, so that, as
three fifths of the members are necessary to
a f,noru;n in that Legislature, no vote coulJ
betaken. The resigning members were re
elected almost without any contest, and re
sumed their seats with the alleged under
stating that the amendment should not be
called up before the 14th instant. On the
morning of the 13th, however, the ratifica
tion was moved in the Senate, which was
negatived. On the meeting of the afternoon
session the Democrats had again sent in
their resignations ; but it not appearing that
the resignations had been officially received,
the doors were closed, absentees brought in,
a quorum thus affected, and the amendment
ratified by Republican votes. In the House
things did not go on so smoothly. Forty
one out of the forty-three Democratic Rep
resentatives resigned, and word was bro't
to the House that the resignations had
been received at the Executive office. No
thing further was done that day. On the
14th, a motion having been made to adopt
the joint resolution ratifying the amend
ment, a Democrat objected that a quorum
was not present, but the Speaker decided
that this was in the nature of an appeal,
whereupon the decision of the Speaker was
sustained, and the joint resolution was adop
ted by Republican votes.
This is a succint history of the whole af
fair. There are some other things possibly
connected with it of an incidental nature.
It is said, for instance, that a bill of claims
for $400,0:X), growing out of Morgan's raid
during the war, was voted for by the Re
publicans most of the claim holders being
Democrats with the hope that the Demo
cratic members would retain their seats till
after a vote could be had upon the amend
ment. The essential facts, however, are as
we have stated above. The question of the
genuineness of the ratification under the
circumstances will probably go into Con
gress for final decision.
Defeated by Fraud. The Alton (111.)
Telegraph declares, upon what it considers
reliable authority, that reconstruction in Mis
sissippi was defeated by fraud of the most
atrocious stamp. The end was accomplished
by means which any party but one 'utterly
shameless and destitute of every honorable
i. i) pulse, would scorn to use. The Repub
licans, to prevent the colored voters from
being deceived in consequence of their ina
bility to read, had tickets printed in Chicago
in a peculiar style, viz : Upon the back of
the ticket was lithographed the national flag
in colors, the stripes running lengthwise
with the ticket. Upon the reverse side were
printed the words : "For the Constitution,"
and, following, the names of the Union can
didates for State offices. Through some
mismanagement on the part of the Union
men, the tickets were circulated a little too
soon, and some of them fell into the hands
of the rebels, who at once saw their object,
and immediately set about getting up an im
itation, with the difference that upon the
fac simile the words "Against the Constitu
tion," together with the names of the Dem
ocratic candidates for state officers, were
printed. These ballots were got into the
hands of the unlettered freed nun by thous
ands, and deposited by them with the idea
that they were voting '"for the flag."
Proohess of Republicanism. The
Bloomsburg, Columbia county, Pa., Repub
lican, in an editorial on the progress of the
Republican patty, admits that "the perform
ances of some of the men who have been
elected to public trusts, have disgusted and
disheartened many good and true Republi
cans. But the people are after these scurvy
fel!ow and will take care of them. They
are known and appreciated." It concludes
as follows :
"The Republican party is of course des
tined to re verses, but these will purify rather
than destroy. Stupid and presumptious
managers, whose corrupting wealth or crawl
ing servility, has purchased them the places
due to worth and patriotism, will disgust the
true men of the party, and weaken the efforts
of many, but the end is not yet. These clogs
and drawbacks, together with the temporary
lassitude that follows the lubor of a great
success, will probably give some States to the
disciplined and vigilant Copperheads iu the
skirmishes next fall, as in 1S67. But when
the whole people are again arrayed in a na
tional contest, with principles broadly de
fined, and the disturbing elements of local
squabbles over appointments to office are
scarcely to be recognized as the small dust
on the balance, then comes the Republican
life out of seeming death, and the Copper
head infidels will stand aghast at the unex
pected resurrection of the just. The Re
publican party is not "played out."

Sprague and the Tariff. Senator
S prague is still capable of saying a sensible
thing. He has astonished nearly all of his
new made friends the Democrats and Free
Traders who poured those letters in upon
him at Washington, by making a powerful
speech in favor of Protection at the Mem
phis Convention. The speech was "well
received," we are told, which would seem
to indicate that Free Trade is not so rampant
in the Southwest as it used to be.
The great tunnel under the city of Balti

Free Trade and its Supporters.
Many months ago a Western newspaper
charged the Free Trade League of New
York with receiving subscriptions from for
eignand partcularily from English man
ufacturers or their agents in this country.
The charge was denied with a vehemence
which argued guilt, and the howl sent up
by the Free Traders reminded us that the
dogs must have received a telling kick to
set the the kennel in such commotion.
Thereupon the New York Tribune offered
to print a list of the subscribers to the funds
of the Free Traders whenever the officers of
that organizatioa should furnish a certified
copy of the names, either sworn to or veri
fied on the honor of the officers of the
League.
The agitation of the Free Trade League
of New York was natural enough, and the
off :rcd opportunity to disprove the charge
that it was supported, in part, by the ene
mies of American Mechanics was not only
not improved, but the Tribune was vigor
ously assailed for offering to publish a refu
tation of, what they called, "a slander." It
is always easier to abuse the Trilnme than
to answer it ; and with its usual and con
spicuous determination to return to the con
test. It now in turn demanded the list of
subscribers. It taunted the Fre Traders
to give the list. It held on with such te
nacity and pressed its demand w ith such
biting sarcasm that the withholding of the
list became a positive injury to the League,
and no longer possible.
At last we have them unearthed. The
list is published in the Tribune of the 18th,
and is a rich document. It is signed by
Charles M. Marshall, Treasurer, and
Mahlon Sands, Secretary. It comprises
the names of subscribers and the amount
given since April 10th, 1865, to May 18th,
8fi9. It will be found both amusing and
instructive, and, to some extent, uncandid.
The whole list shows the number of sub
scribers to be 696, and the cash total to be
$40,443 93, and in these particulars the list
is a proof of 'weakness which we were not
prepared for after the pompous threats of
those whose aim is the destruction of Amer
ican manufactures, and the reduction of the
wages of our mechanics to the British stand
ard. There are many things connected
with this list of considerable interest, and
some of trifling import The number giv
ing one dollar is 159 ; and 165 persons give
two dollars each. These givers of mites de
ducted from the whole number liave 372 on
the list. Fully three fourths of these give
over fifty. These last therefore contain the"
milk in the cocanut, and of them we desire
to say a few words.
Of this last number of subscribers, whom
the list shows give the great bulk of all that
is given, we find the following of persons
and firm? : William Kemeys, Francis Cot
tenet, H, Boker k Co., J. k H. Anchin
closs, C. Kuttcr, Ball, Block k Co., E.
Hincken, S. Mendelson, Manuel Valder
Yurrn, F. B. Jacobus k Co., Robert S.

and Rechnapi & Co.
There 1 If anybody will admit an honest
doubt of the charge made by the Protec
t'onists,that the present effort to destroy our
Tariff comes from foreigners and import
ers, after reading these names, we will give
np the whole argument. While making
this offer to give up the contest on what we
have shown ,we have not yet touched on the
most suspicious part of this precious list
Among the subscriber we find "The Liver
pool and London Insurance Co." $106,
"Cash" $1,008 80, "C. n. Marshall," the
Treasurarof the League, $5,400, and "Mah
lon Sand," its Secretary, $5,525. Would
it be considered hyper-criticism if we were
to suggest that the London and Liverpool
Insurance Co. is in any way inimical to
American interests? Or that "Cash" fig
ures too prominently in a list which ii only
given to disprove the damaging charge of
foreign support? Or that the Free Trade
League of New York is singularly fortun
ate in choosing Mr. Marshall, who gives
$5,400, for its Treasurer? Or that it is
blessed in the possession of a Secretary, Mr.
Mahlon Sands, who gives $5,525?
But enongh I The very life-giving prin
ciple and motive of Free Trade is the build
ing of foreign industry on the ruins of
American Labor. The charge of foreign
aid when first made was known to be true.
The fury of the Free Traders, when the
charge was pushed, give abundant evi
dence that the arrow went home. The
taunts of the Tribune became unbearable
because they clearly threw the League into
a defensive attitude. The only defense was
the list of subscribers. The true list would
have utterly destroyed the Free Traders be
fore the People. And the list now given is
so barefaced a swindle, in crediting its Sec
retary and Treasurer, and "Cash" with
$1 1,933 80, for more than one fourth of its
entire proceeds since its organization), that
no protectionist will notice it ; no inquirer
after truth can be hnmbugged with it ; and
no honest Free Trader will read it without
confusion and shame, as lame, dishonest
and damagingly weak effort to escape the
stigma of Foreign sympathies and Foreign
support

' More Barbarism. The "barbarians"of
Delaware, on Saturday a week, "cracked
their whip iu the face of civilization," at
New Castle. The new whipping-post and
pillory were duly inaugurated. Three pet
ty offenders were successively exposed in
the latter, and several others, whose grade
of offense was higher, received respectively
from ten to thirty lashes at the former ; and
all this barbarity was exhibited in the pres
ence of "a gaping crowd of men, women
and children." What'manner of people are
those Dclawarians? Surrounded by civili
zation, having constant intercourse with
civilized and Christian people, how comes
it that they are neither civilized nor Chris
tians? Such an infamous exhibition is a
blur npon our free institutions, and outside
the State which tolerates it, it is universally
execrated. Let us hope that the custom
which neither a sense of decency nor re
spect for Christianity seems able to over
throw, will soon fall before the might of
public opinion, never to be revived, and to
be remembered only with shame and regret.
The Harrisburg Patriot, the organ of the
Democracy of this State, on the 18th, came
up gallantly to the defense of this barbarous
practice of the Democracy in Delaware.
Perhaps, the leaders of that party in Penn
sylvania intend to put a "whipping-post and
pillory" plank in their platform this fall,
which will account forthe Patriot's admira
tion of that "peculiar institution" of tho
"Democratic State" of Delaware.
Ireland. Disturbances, particularly in
the counties of Tipperary and Westmeath,
continue to be the order of the day in Ire
land. There is no occasion to believe that
these are connected with or resulting from
Fenianism, though, undoubtedly, the Fen
ian feeling is very prevalent through the
greater part of Ireland The trouble has
arisen out of the miserable laudlord-and-tenant
system in that country out of absen
teeism, which takes away capital, in the
shape of rent, to be 'expended in foreign
parts out of tho insecurity of tenure and
the enormous rate of rent for land out of
anger, poverty, oppression, neglect, niisgov
ernmeut, and hopelessness. Mr. Gladstone
must deal, speedily and stringently, with this
tenant-right question, which is real and
pressing and not a sentimental grievance.
Never had statesmen a better field for do

me vemocracy, with singular unanimity, op
pose Mr. Boutwell'a common sense proposition to
buy np and retire a million of bonds a week as a
sinking fund This is aa good a proof of the
soundness of tbe plan as could be desired.
The following advertisement appears in a Lon
don paper: "A young lady, who has received a
good education, can read and write, and is versed
in Geography, history, music, daneing, and ele
mentary mathematics, wishes a aitnation in a re
spectable family aa washer and ironer."
Pickles thinks the merchant or mechanic who
goes abroad to get his printing done, ought also
to go abroad for bis customers We think so, too.
especially when he can get the aforesaid printing
done as neatly and cheaply at the Journal office
Some men are great sticklers for "patronising
home industry ;" but, judging by their conduct,
they prefer to have the "patronising" done on the
jug-bandle principle all on one side. We don't
mean anybody in particular, but if the shoe fits
any one they are welcome to put it on.
A Few Plain Questions for Tree Traders.
1. If the present tariff is "prohibitory,"
or, in other words, preventsus buying what
we want from foreign countries, how does it
coma that we do buy about one hundred mil
lions of dollars worth of merchandise more
than we sell them of our products during
this year of Grace 1S08?
2. If the "enormous and grinding taxa
tion" we are now paying to "monopolists,"
or, in plainer terms, the customs now raised
on foreign imports, is "grinding" our people
into "poverty and want," why is it that a
constant streams of immigrants will conic
from nations enjoying Free Trade to our
languishing, tariff-cursed country ?
3. If Free Trade were declared to-monow,
and foreign manufacturers were permitted to
compete in our markets with our own, would
not fabrics made by European workmen at
fifty cents a day drive those made by Ameri
can workmen at two dollars and fifty cents a
day out of the market?
4. When the American manufacturerfinds
himself undersold at home, by those engaged
in the same business in Leeds, or Manches
ter, or Cornwall, in Kngland, must he not
either discharge his hands and close his mills,
furnaces, ka., or reduce the wages he is now
paying to his employees?
5. Must not the mechanics, under thisstate
of affairs, either stop work or submit to the
reduction, or find something else to do?
G. Do the Free Traders want the workmen
of America to work for lower ages than they
now get? Or, if not, do they want them to
give up skilled labor (and so lose the years
spent in learnitig a trade,) and work at agri
cultural pursuits?
7. Will not our country Under Free Trade,
which must inevitably destroy her manufac
tures, become absolutely enslaved to the
countris which furnish us with everything
we need from a fork to a steam engine ; and
will we not, when declaring war against Kn
gland for instance1 or she against us, ex
perience some difficulty in the way of cannon,
muskets, etc. ?
8. How do you propose to pay coin inter
est on the bonds, which we solemnly prom
ised to pay, when you have destroyed the
only source of coin revenue we now have, or
can have until we resume specie payments?
