The Customs Hesonrces ami the Tax
ation Policy.
Up to the close of business on Friday,
the customs receipts since the doth of
June last aggregated $T5,1»5,280. A
Washington dispatch says it is
estimated at the department that
the receipts for the first six months
of the fiscal year ending filst instant will
be about $78,000,000. This will be from
two to three million dollars less than for
the corresponding period last year. The
fact that there is a large falling off despite
the increased imports levied at the last ses
sion shows that had it not been for the
additional duties the revenues would have
been seriously impaired. From the pres
ent outlook it is scarcely to be expected
ttiat the showing for the next six mouths
will be any better, although the Centen-
teunial may be the means of giving some
little impotus to trade. The Secretary of the
Treasury clearly foresees that the govern
ment will certainly be crippled in its
finances, unless in the event tnat the ap
propriations are cut down very largely,
or additional imposts are levied. He
does not hesitate to recommend the reim
position of the duty on tea and coffee,
but he is perfectly well aware that he can
hope for no relief from that quarttr.
There can be nothing more certain for the
future than that the Democratic Houso
will, on the eve of the Presidential elec
tion, never put such a weapon in the
hanas of their antagonists as would be
the cry that they had increased the taxes.
It would not matter that such increase
would be solely due to Kepublican mis
management and extravagance: the peo
ple would look only at the effect and not
at the cause. The Democrats thoroughly
realize this, and therefore importers and
tradespeople m their calculations for the
future can, with perfect safety, throw
entirely out of consideration any possi
ble increase of taxes. There is but one
method by which the receipts and ex
penditures will be made to approximate—
the cutting down of the appropriations.
All Independent Radical Candidate
for Governor.
The Columbus Timet leams that Judge
James Johnson, who will be remembered
as the Provisional Governor of Georgia
under President Johnson, has announced
himself as an independent candidate for
Governor on the platform of principles
embodied in Grant’s Des Moines speech
and message to Congress. Mr. Johnson
was a t£ Union-auyhow” man in 1860, and,
while he took no active part on the Union
side during the war, was a very-
zealous scalawag during the reign
of Bullock, by whom he was ap
pointed Judge of the Superior Courts of
the Chattahoochee Circuit. By his an-
announcing himself at this time as
an independent candidate for Gov
ernor on the Grant platform he no
doubt expects to concentrate the
Radical vote, revive the forlorn hope of
that mongrel faction,and at the same time
place himself in position to take advan-
tage of any schism that may occur
in the ranks of the Democracy. While
there should be no cause of appre
hension from Mr. Johnson s self-nomi-
nation, it is perhaps fortunate that he
did not longer delay the announcement
of his Gubernatorial aspirations. It may
serve as a warning to the marplots of the
Democracy to cease their personal bick
erings, their incessant prancing out of
new candidates, and induce them to wait
the calm, sober judgment of the people
in the matter of nominating the next
Governor of Georgia.
No Duty ox Tea and Coffee.—The
people of the country will be gratified to
know that there is little or no prospect of
a duty being levied on tea and coffee by
the new Democratic Congress. A "\\ ash-
ington dispatch says: “There is quite
an effort among strong manipulators
around Congress to secure a duty on tea
and coffee, and, failing in that, to get it
on tea alon?. But the test of making the
receipts meet the expenditures of the
government has been decided by a de
termination to level the expenditures
down to the ordinary receipts, and to ad
just the tariff on the basis upon which it
now stands, with more equitable provis
ions. The Republicans, in majority, as
protectionists, oppose a duty on tea and
coffee, while the Democrats say they wilj
not assume the responsibility of its re-
imposition. It is believed that a two-
thirds majority of the House, without
regard to party, are against it, and while
the Senate Committee favors it, the Sen
ate has a large working majority against
The Hartford Times says about one
thousand workmen at Rockville, Conn.,
are now out of work in consequence of
the strike. They are mostly from the
different woolen mills: but the workmen
of the Glasgow (gingham) mill have also
joined them. The men in the New Eng
land and Hockanum mills have not yet
joined the strike, and may not. About
$1 10 per day is the average rate of
wages, on which a proposed reduction of
10 per cent, was to go into effect on the
1st of January—and that led to the strike.
Board in Rockville is $450 a week.
Many of the striking weavers and spin
ners ^especially the Germans) have a lit
tle money saved ahead. They expect the
mills will be willing to start up again at
present prices, as the stock now on hand
of manufactured goods is small. On the
other hand, some of the mill agents seem
to think they had “just as lief keep the
machinery idle as not,’’ this winter.
Postmaster General Jewell was the
Fpokesman for New England, at the anni
versary dinner, last Friday, of the Fore
fathers' Society in Washington. He paid
a glowing tribute to the virtues of all
Yankees, and even ascribed the exceeding
glory of President Grant to the circum
stance of his Connecticut descent. Al!
of which is very handsome on the P. M.
G.’s part, considering the fact that he de
clines to be the Republican c&ndic&te for
Governor of Connecticut.—Hartford
Post.
Chief Justice Waite thought it worth
liis while to write a letter to a political
club at Toledo, Ohio, peremptorily de
clining to let his name be used in con
nection with the Presidency. The Balti
more Gazette asks: “Will President
Grant, who, as the administration organs
assure us, would not accept a renomina-
tion under any circumstances, put an ex
tinguisher on that recently-organised
third-term club in New York?” You bet
he won’t do any such thing. He is too
(dignified for that.
Grant’s family friends, says the New
York Sun, say that the only reason why
he desires a third term is his wish to be
honored above any other citizen in the
histoiy of the country. Oce of his fixed
ideas is that the United States have been
preserved to this time for his personal
emolument and gratification.
The President and the Wlilsky Kings.
Considerable comment, says a Wash
ington dispatch to the Boston Post, has
been indulged in by prominent Congress
men and politicians generally upon what
is styled the gloom in which President
Grant seems to be enveloped on account
of the developments in the crooked whisky
cases. It is remarked that he betrays
moroBoness, and appears to be in a frame
of mind to be more desirous than ever
that no guilty man shall escape. Atten
tion is also called to the fact that public
interest has been somewhat distracted
from the school question, which ws3 ex
pected to absorb all other subjects, by
the startling and damaging discoveries
already made in the whisky cases, and
which have turned all eyes toward the
White Housft The action of the admin
istration in dismissing General Hender
son from the position of assistant govern
ment counsel at St. Louis is almost uni
versally condemned as unwise and im
proper, while Henderson is commended
by some for his boldness and firmness in
this matter, which, together with his
similar record in the Johnson impeach
ment trial in the Senate, are regarded as
evidences of real consistency in the man.
The Post charitably acquits Gen. Grant
of anything like direct complicity in the
whisky frauds. It says: “The people do
not charge him with that. Mr. Hender
son did not charge him with it, but with
just what was too palpable to need auy
proof; that, by his system of patronage,
by his habit of granting what his favo
rites asked without questioning the
reasons, he did unwittingly, yet through
a perversion of his official functions, aid
this guilty combination in its nefarious
transactions and help it to hide from
justice. It may not have been a crime
that he permitted himself to be used as a
pliant tool in this business, but it was a
grievous fault, and one that can only be
atoned for by seeing that his edict is ful
filled to the letter, ‘Let no guilty man
escape.’ It is not probable that he will
pardon Joyce, or do anything else so pre
posterous in the present state of public
opinion. It is quite bad enough that the
President of the United States should be
so blinded by good fellowship, good din
ners and handsome gifts as to choose
Joyce and the other criminals for his
intimate friends.”
Prospect of an Indian War.
Colonel Houston, commanding Fort
Stephenson, Dakota Territory, has re
ported to the War Department that an
Indian from Sitting Bull’s camp has in
formed him that the Sioux are preparing
to commit depredations. It is probable,
says the New York Sun, that this infor
mation is correct. We know that army
officers stationed at Dakota anticipate
trouble with the Sioux, and it is not im
probable that we may soon be involved in
an expensive and bloody war with the
Indians of the Northwest. If it comes,
the fact that General Crook, whose Ari
zona experiences in Indian warfare will
stand him in good stead, is in command
of that department, is an assurance
that it will be ably conducted on our
side ; but notwithstanding this, it
will inevitably entail a vast expendi
ture, which the people will have to pay,
and in all probability a terrible sacrifice
of life along the frontier. The war with
the Seminoles in Florida, a weak tribe
compared with the Sioux nation, lasted
seven years, at an expense to the United
States of about $10,000,000, and a loss of
1,400 lives. A war with the Sioux at this
time would be a great calamity to the
country, though it would open fine op
portunities for the kind of contractors
who find favor under the existing admin
istration; but if it should occur, it would
only be the legitimate result of Grant’s
Indian policy, which, as we have often
shown, amounts in practice to hiring the
Indians to keep the peace, and then
cheating them out of their promised pay.
Our Canadian neighbors never have any
trouble with their Indians, among whom
are some of the most war-like Sioux on
the continent; for the simple reason that
they deal honestly with them, and keep
their agreements in good faith.
Reform in Louisiana.—The Property-
Holders’ Union of New Orleans has ad
dressed a communication to the State
Central Executive Committee of the Re
publican party of Louisiana, in which it
is asserted that the union is actuated by
no partizan motives, and is only desirous
of ameliorating the condition of all
classes. It solicits the aid of the Repub
licans in effecting several much-needed
reforms, including a reduction of taxa
tion, State and municipal, the abolish
ment of all unnecessary offices, the
reduction of salaries, and the relief of
delinquent tax-payers and those whose
property has already been forfeited, and
that the taxes be paid by installments.
The Republican Committee, through its
President, Marshal Packard, argues that
reform is desirable, and requests that the
union submit drafts of bills tending to
secure the relief proposed. Packard has
also addressed a letter to the union, claim
ing that taxes have already been reduced
to fourteen and a half from twenty-one
and a half mills, and that the debt will
soon be brought within the constitutional
limit of $15,000,000. He proposes the
inauguration of a system of uniform as
sessments throughout the State, by which
the burden on New Orleans will be les
sened. He favors a reduction of ex
penses, especially in the department for
the collection of taxes.
Strong hopes are expressed on all
sides that some arrangements may be ef
fected by which the wholesale confisca
tion of property by taxation, which has
been seriously threatened, may be ar
rested.
The Steamship Stonewall Jackson.—
It was announced a few days since in a Bos
ton dispatch that the ship Stonewall Jack-
son had made a successful trial trip.
Mr. D. D. Kelly, the well-known ship
builder of East Boston, who is the builder
of this vessel, has addressed a communi
cation to the Boston Post, in which, in
response to inquiries, he furnishes the
reasons why Le named her] the Stonewall
Jaekson. He says:
“The political hunters for place have
for a long lime prevented that union and
harmony of sentiment between the North
and South which should at all times pre
vail, and have ’done much against true
patriotism and the interests of the mer
chants, mechanics and laborers of our
common country. Jackson was one of
the truly loved men of old Virginia. His
faults, if any, must be forgotten by every
true American, by the shining brightness
of his noble character as a man. I am
by birth and sentiment a son of old
Massachusetts, and could anything be
more appropriate than for our people to
extend the hand of true fellowship in
1S76 to the old mother of Presidents,
Virginia? You will please excuse this
long note, for the Stonewall Jackson is
my last ship. I commenced with the
Old Hickory, end and with the Stone
wall.”
A Washington newspaper says that
Measurer Babcock is & large owner in the
National Republican, Grant’s kitchen or
gan. This accounts for the strong fiavor
of crooked whisky in its articles. It is
said that Grant is an occasional contribu
tor to that ornament of journalism, and
the Cincinnati Commercial avers that he
recently wrote an editorial article for the
Republican nearly a column in length.
The Recent Pretended Navy Disburse
incuts to be Investigated.
It is stated in Washington dispatches
that the well kuown determination of the
Appropriations Committee to make a
sharp and general reduction of govern
ment expenses has produced a profound
sensation among department officials.
Nothing in the plan of retrenchment,
however, seems to have created so much
comment as the determination of the
committee not to appropriate a dollar to
cover the late unusual expenditures by
the Secretary of the Navy. This decision
has, it is said, raised a breeze in the Navy
Department itself and has brought out a
theory of the cause of these expenditures
which is both new and in some respects
plausible. It is said that if the commit
tee adheres to its purpose it will create a
sensation, and that the recent apparently
lavish expenditures for the navy have
been more show than reality; that but
little money has been expended in fact,
and that, for instance, at Brooklyn old
wooden ships have been fitted for sea
service with apparently great expense,
while very little money was used and the
vessels are known in some cases to be
hardly seaworthy. Further, that the fleet
has been supplied from stores already on
hand and paid for. In short, it is asserted
that the whole of the recent revamping
of the navy is a sham, and that a close
examination will show that it must have
been done with the purpose of procuring
large appropriations to cover previous and
irregular expenditures. Threo members
of the Cabinet have declared to friends
that they know nothing in our foreign
relations which would call for the ap
parent activity in the navy, and navy
officers have, from time to time, let fall
in conversation facts which show that the
ostentatious outfit of ships has been done
with the most parsimonious economy,
and with regard, apparently, only to put
ting a large paper force in commission,
and not to making the refitted ships
sound and formidable. The Appropria
tions Committee will make haste to look
into this matter, and the investigation
promises to be thorough.
Tammany Hall Accepts the Anti-Cath
olic Issue.
Tammany Hall has issued an address in
which it joins issue with Gen. Grant on
the anti-Catholic sentiments • of his
speech at Des Moines and his message.
The following paragraphs are specimens
of the bitter and fierce spirit and lan
guage in which Tammany assails the
President: .
“Suddenly and without warning the
Chief Magistrate of the Union sounds the
‘fire bell in the night;’ from the regions
of persecution he invokes the spirit of
religious intolerence, and bids it to erect
its sable throne in this land of liberty and
in this age of enlightenment and vaunted
progress.
“Has history no terrors for his ima
gination os he looks back over the san
guinary fields, the blocks, the gibbets,
the stakes which stand like grim mile
stones of blood across the religious track
of the past turee hundred years ? Or is
the historic as a sealed book to the uu
lettered soldier who has risen from the
tented field to the Presidency, and who
would clutch at power and hold on to it
with bulldog tenacity even over the ruins
of his country ?”
“We denounce this atrocious attempt
of the President to recall from its dishon
ored grave the howling dervish of Know
Nothingism. The successful soldier in
his ambition to enjoy a third term in
violation of the common law of America,
has seized the torch of religious persecu
tion and would apply it to the temple of
the Most High, no less than to the fabric
of our civil liberties.”
The Democrats have thus been the first
to place themselves in the field as the
avowed supporters of religious liberty.
The refusal of Governor Chamberlain
to sign the commissions of the newly-
elected Judges in South Carolina, is, says
the Boston Post, about as little as
he could do after having so frankly voiced
the popular opinion in that their selec
tion was a “horrible disaster.” But,
after all, this seems to be only a tempo
rary respite. The old Judges, according
to the Governor’s ruling, hold over until
a new Legislature meets, and even if
he is humored in that view of the situa
tion there is no certainty that the next
Legislature will be any more incorrupti
ble than this, or any stronger to resist the
temptation to sell their votes for a good
dinner. The Governor certainly owes it
to the State to fight these elections in
every way open to him. If he can nega
tive them he deserves the thanks of all
honest people; but when Parker was al
lowed to escape after the hope had been
aroused that justice would be satisfied at
last, the public lost confidence in the
loud professions of reform in South
Carolina. Nothing but the worst and
most dangerous legislation can be expect
ed in that State as .long as it is under
Radical rule. The election of Moses and
Whipper was not an exceptional expres
sion of Republicanism in South Caro
lina, but one of its natural manifesta
tions.
The Crooked Down South—Search
ing Fob It in the Mountains.—While
Grant’s revenue officers have been very
successful in sharing the profits of illicit
distilling in St Louis, Chicago, Mil
waukee and other large Northern and
Western cities, these vigilant patriots
have always experienced great difficulty
in suppressing the small illicit distillers
in the mountains of Virginia, North and
South Carolina, and Tennessee. There
has been a standing offer for a long time
of $300 for each capture of one of these
stills. About two months ago, as we
learn from a dispatch, Major Jacob Wag
ner was sent southward with twelve men,
fitted out for active service. They were
well mounted and armed, and without
uniforms to embarrass them in their
work. The party has seized about
twenty-five stills per month, at an aver
age cost of $25 for each still. A dispatch
was received from Major Gordon to-day,
dated at Greensboro, S. C., in which he
states that he has just come in, bringing
fifteen distillers under arrest. On his last
trip he destroyed ten stills and 10,000
gallons of mash, and seized large quanti
ties of high wines and grain.
One hundred and twenty-five to one
hundred and thirty thousand, are the fig
ures the President of Camp No. 11, Pat
riotic Sons of America, the Anti-Catholic
and third term order, gives as represent
ing the membership in the States of New
York and Pennsylvania alone. He says,
but we don’t believe him, that the order
has enough members in all the States to
elect Grant for the third term if he wishes.
The Anti-Catholic movement seems to
have been adroitly planned. Grant gave
the watchword at Des Moines, and en
forced it in his third term message. Gil
Haven undertook the duty of enlisting
the Methodists. Mosby has charge of the
South. The allied dark-lantern orders
conduct the underground campaign. All
step to the third term music. But we are
unwilling to believe that a majority of
the American people are ready to plunge
the country into a religious war to grati
fy the ambition of Gen. Grant.
Harry Holloway has been indicted at
Indianapolis for crookedness in the post
office! When an Indiana grand jury can

THE RREHERHAVEK EXPLOSION.
New York, December 28.—The following
particulars respecting the dynamite explos
ion at Bremerhaven are from the Weiser
Zeitung : “It appears that just before the
Mosel was about to sail, a cart containinj
four cases and a barrel was being unloadet
for shipment. Suddenly a terrible explos
ion occurred. The effect was horrible. The
quay was then thronged with people, partly
belonging to the steamer, partly specta
tors and partly passengers, who had re
mained there to take the last farewell of
their friends. An eye witness, who stood
under the gangway of the Mosel, on hearing
the terrific report, saw a number of black
lumps flying about in the air, whilst very
few of the persons on land remained visible.
Apprehending a boiler explosion, he throw
himself fiat on the dock, where he received
a volley of sand, broken glass, fragments of
flesh, bones, etc. The devastation on board
the Mosel was terrific. No skylight was
left. The cabins, aft, starboard and port,
were either crushed in or bulged out by the
pressure, or altogether smashed. The side
plates of the ship were burst. The ports,
with their glasses aud rivets, were forced
inwards, aud the whole ship was besmeared
with blood aud stuck over with pieces
of flesh and other humau debris. In the
hold and in all parts of the ship were found
arms, legs and other portions of human
frames. Thus the lower hold received some
limbs through tho open hatchways. The
sides of tho hatchways were burst by the
pressure, aud the front of the navigation
cabin on deck stovo in. The whole shi
was littered with glass shreds, wliicl
oven filled the dishes from the steam
kitchen as they were being served
to the between deck or steerage passengers.
The tug got off comparatively unhurt, being
so much more below -.ho quay lino than the
Mosel. Still, tho whvJe of its deck was de
stroyed. Tho crew oame off with a mere
fright only, the engineers aud stokers hav-
been hurt slightly. On land, where the
package had beon unloaded, a hole had
been produced from six to seven feet deep.
The whole place was strewn with limbs,
shreds, dresses, etc., in large, reeking
pools of blood. You might see here
an arm, there a calf, intestines, mutilated
busts, etc. Amongst the most horrible de
tails of this calamity is tho fate of tho Et-
mer family, who were seeing off one of their
sons to California. The father, mother,
sou and son-in-law are dead. The daughter-
in-law has had her arm, aud her child its
hand, blown off. The case which exploded
had been iu tho care of Carrier Weetorman,
of Bremerhaven, aud was accompanied on
the way to tho steamer by a Mr. Tuuiford.
of whom, it is said, all trace has beon lost.'*
IS IT CHARLIE ROSS ?
Boston, December 28.—Dispatches from
Concord and St Albans state that a lad
answering the description of Charlie Ross
was placed on the Montreal train at Nashau
last night by some men who failed to pro
vide him with a ticket. He gave another
name at first, but finally said that
tho men had made him tell fictitious
stories, and that his name was Ross. Ho
said he had lived in Philadelphia; that he
had been carried away while playing with
his brother Eddie, and that his mother’s
name was Annie. His appearance and story
have so strongly impressed parties having
him in charge that they will communicate
with Mr. Ross.
FRENCH FOLITICS.

lishment of the Conservative Republic.
The Assembly continued the considera
tion of the press bill in detail. An amend

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES.
Washington, December 28.—It is asserted
prominent circles that if, as reported
from London, there is a near advent of Eu
ropean intervention iu Cuba, our govern
ment would inform such powers as might
combine for this purpose that their course
Vould be highly offensive to the United
States, as it would imply a design of con
trolling affairs in localities contiguous to

our commercial and political interests, and
for this reason, apart from other considera
tions, the United States would continue to
act in the spirit of tho Monroe doctrine.

Ethebic Fobce and Electbicity.—Mr.
Houston, Professor of Physics at the
Central High School of Philadelphia, has
communicated to the press of that city
some observations on the so-called
etheric force” of Mr. Edison. He is of
opinion that no new force has been dis
covered, and that the phenomena relied
upon to demonstrate the existence of a
new force can be accounted for without
going beyond what is already known of
the operations of electricity. Phenomena
which to Mr. Edison were irreconcilable
with tho presumption that the force in
operation was electricity all find in Mr.
Houston’s view “a satisfactory explana
tion by the presence of induced electrical
currents.”
From this criticism, says the Herald, it
would appear that Mr. Edison simply got
lost in the scientific dust he made, and,
arriving at a well-known cross-road from
a new direction, did not recognize where
he was. His apparatus was so arranged
that an electrical current moved in each
direction, separated by a time so infinite
ly little as to be inappreciable to sense.
The result of this doable current was an
electrical equilibrium, and this equilibri
um accounted for the fact that the “force”
did not respond to the tests for electricity,
which were all tests for a direct current
only.
A dispatch from New Orleans says that

they will abandon the Republican party
