A Novel Revenue Bill —As a means
of raisiDg the State revenues, Mr. Wil
liams, a prominent. Richmond lawyer,
and a member of the Virginia House of
Delegates, has introduced a bill in that
body proposing to tax persons who drink,
chew, smoke or take snuff two dollars
per year, and those who indulge in pro
fane language five dollars per year. It is
proposed to make each male inhabitant
take oath whether he indulges in any of
these things. If he swears yea he is to be
taxed. If he swears nay he is to be ex
empt. Ladies, not being mentioned, are
presumed to be exempt also. Such a
law vigorously enforced would probably
result in the raising of means with which
not only to pay the current expenses of
the State government, but enable the Old
Dominion to pay off her public debt.
Suppressing Vice.—New York has a so
ciety for the suppression of vice, and the
record of its proceedings shows that there
is abundant need for such an organize -
tion. L p to this time it has procured
the arrest of 193 persons for selling ob
scene books, pictures, etc., of whom 105
were convicted, while others absconded or
forfeited their bonds. No less than 12,-
101 bad books and 201,000 pictures and
photographs have been seized and de
stroyed. Of the persons arrested 54
were Irishmen, 51 Americans, 20 English
men, 14 Canadians, 14 Germans, and the
others represented seven different nation
alities, one being an African. Such an
organization as this society could do as
good work in other cities as in New
York.
The Chicago Whisky Cases. — A
Washington dispatch says: “The proper
officers at the Treasury Department, in
co-operation with the representitives of
the government at Chicago, are making
effective preparations for the prosecution
of whisky cases in Chicago, to commence
on March 7. It is stated by the officials
here that the prosecutions which have
taken place have been merely preliminary;
that on the date above mentioned the
work on the part of the government will
begin in earnest. The trial of Hessing,
the German editor at Chicago, itjis stated,
will attract more attention than that of
McKee, at St. Louis, and will be none
the less interesting.’'
The Philadelphia Bulletin says that a
catalogue of the crimes committed in the
New England States during the past few
years, if it could be made with any degree
of accuracy, would shame those of all
others into insignificance, not only by
their number, but by the boldness and
ingenuity that marked them. Murder,
robbery and peculation, to say nothing
of smaller offenses, have been done in
ways so novel as to deserve for them
the title of works of genius. It would
appear to be rather a bad turn that the
Yankee intellect has taken.
Social Characteristics.—In regard to
what Brother Bowen has lately said of
Beecher, it is represented that Brother
Shearman and the rest of them are over
hauling old letters and documents now,
to prove that Bowen has repeatedly de
clared that he loved Beecher as a brother.
But to what purpose ? As a cotemporary
remarks, two Brooklyn people of any ac
count that haven’t slobbered over each
other one year, and called each other the
worst sort of names the next, are yet
to be heard of.
The Babcock Trial.
A Washington dispatch gives a synop
sis of General Grant's deposition in the
whisky cases which was taken on Satur
day. His testimony is, of course, strongly
in favor of his private Secretary, Babcock,
in whose integrity he professes to
have unbounded confidence. The Presi -
dent explains that mysterious suspen
sion of the order changing the Super
visors by stating that the revocation was
directed by himself, in order that sus
picion being removed from thefminds of
those engaged in frauds, they might be
more readily detected iu their efforts to
cheat the government out of revenue on
distilled spirits. This explanation is en
tirely too thin, and, as the Baltimore Ga
zette remarks, “will send a smile of in
credulity all over the country.” There
was nothing in Commissioner Douglass’s
order changing the supervisors to excite
“suspicion. " The object of the order was
to open the way to the detection of the
frauds that were being perpetrated under
the protection and by the connivance of the
supervisors, who were in league with the
distillers. General Grant may believe
that Babcock is as innocent as himself,
and that he has had no more to do with
these whisky frauds than he has himself,
but it will require some stronger and
more plausible testimony than this to
satisfy the public that Babcock is an in
jured innocent. Enough has already
been proven to establish the fact that
Babcock was in correspondence with
McDonald, Joyce and McKee, who have
been convicted, that he received money
from them, and it is impossible to resist
the conviction that he used his influence
with the President in behalf of the
whisky ring. The extraordinary efforts
of Grant and the Washington ring to se
cure his acquittal instead of strengthen
iug are calculated to prejudice his case in
the public estimation, and justify the
suspicion that the administration is
itself on trial in the person of Babcock.
It is said that the friends of Babcock in
Washington are not at all encouraged at
the news from St. Louis. They realize
that the desperate manner in which his
CDonsel are contending for the exclusion
of evidence on mere technical grounds is
not calculated to inspire the country with
confidence in his declaration of innocence.
They realize the fact that a hung jury
obtained by such legal strategy, or even
a verdict of acquittal, would not
satisfy the country, and that his
retention by the President under
circumstances of this kind would be well
nigh impossible. Major Eaton, who was
iu Washington on Saturday on the part
of the prosecution to attend the taking
of the President’s deposition, is quite
confident of Babcock's conviction. The
case against him, he says, is perfectly
clear, and it is impossible to escape it.
He says efforts were made to corrupt one
of the original panel of jurors, and fail
ing to make au impression on him he
was challenged peremptorily by the de
fense. The jury is closely guarded at the
Southern Hotel by the Deputy United
States Marshals, and in addition there is
a strong force of secret service men there
watching the Deputy Marshals. The
defendant has also a host of detectives in
his employ, whose business it is to look
after the detectives on the other side.
Promotion from the British Ranks.
—Contrary to the impression that m the
British army there is no promotion from
the ranks, an officer who has gained such
promotion writes to the London Times
that “among the officers now in the Eng
lish army who have risen from the ranks
there are two General officers, a Colonel,
three Lieutenant Colonels in command of
regiments, and many other field officers.
Of the general officers one is a Major
General, the other a Brigadier General
V. C. and C. B. in command of a brigade
in India. _
Most of the Radical journals have been
cautious about commenting on the con
firmation of Billings. Only one or two
of them have approved the act. The
venerable Worcester Spy is unusually
stirred up by it, and does itself credit by
dropping its partisanship long enough to
remark: “That Mr. Billings is not a
safe person to be intrusted with judicial
powers, there is abundant evidence. His
confirmation is a seandal and an outrage,
the responsibility for which we hope is
not shared in by either of the Massachu
setts Senators.”
The St. Louis Republican says that
when it is considered that the whisky
ring existed and was in active operation
during all of Secretary Richardson’s and a
great part of Secretary Boutwell’s term
of office, without attracting the attention
of those dull functionaries, it is not
strange that the members grew accus
tomed to imagine that the Urdy ven
geance of the law would never overtake
them, that the delayed lightning would
never strike. But it is often the fortune
oi great criminals to make fatal mistakes.
The Baltimore Gazette says: “There
are two revivals in full operation at the
present time in the two wickedest cities
in America—New York and Washington.
The appeals to the President to abandon
his'wicked partners in the whisky and
other business seem to be utterly fruit
less.” J
An investigation into the management
of the so-called Department of Justice
at Washington shows the existence of a
systematic plan to rob the government.
This conspiracy was organized while
Landaulet Williams, one of Babcock's
counsel at St. Louis, was Attorney Gen-
eral. m
x battle of the "pathies” appears
likely io open in Maine over a report of
the Finance Committee of the lower
House of the Legislature, which recom
mends an appropriation of ten thousand
dollars to the Maine General Hospital,
provided that the patients receive hom®-
-ipathic treatment.
According to accounts, the most un
comfortable looking man at the trial now
aoio" on in St. Louis is Gen. Babcock,
President Grant's private secretary; and
the meanest looking man is hia counsel,

Preparations for the Issue of Silver
Coin.—A Washington special to the Bal
timore Gazette says the Secretary of the
Treasury is maturing his plans for the
immediate issue of subsidiary silver coin
in lieu of fractional currency. The
amount on hand is in round numbers
814,000,000, distributed as follows: In
Boston, 84,000.000: Now York, 83,500,-
000; St. Louis, 8700,000; Philadelphia,
8500,000; Baltimore, 8400,000; San Fran
cisco, 8300,000. In Cincinnati, Chicago,
Charleston and New Orleans over a mil
lion of dollars is stored, while there is still
not distributed and iu the mints over
83,000,000. It is understood to be the
purpose of the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue fractional ^currency to the limit
of fifty million dollars. This will enable
him to make due allowance for the loss
of some fourteen million dollars that will
never be presented for redemption, and
at the same time permit, under the pro
visions of the resumption act, the issue
of fully twelve million dollars in silver in
excess of the demand for business pur
poses, while it will also guard against the
possibility of the silver being hoarded.
Within a very few weeks the jingle of
silver may be expected and the cremation
of fractional currency begun. The Sena
tors who were strong advocates of specie
resumption complain of Secretary Bris
tow’s tardiness, and say he should have
begun resumption several weeks ago.
The Southern Pacific Railroad.
Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
seems to have favored the Texas Pacific
Railway under serious misapprehension,
as he now admits, in a letter to Represen
tative Douglass. Mr. Douglass approves
of a Southern Pacific road, but he is to
tally hostile to Col. Tom Scott’s project
He considers the pending bill “fatally de
fective in securing the interests of the
cities and of the country east of the Mis
sissippi and south of the Ohio river;’’ and
expresses the confident opinion that “if
passed in its present form, with the con
trolling power of administration in Phila
delphia, St. Louis, or any place on any of
the lines running north of the Ohio, it
requires very little knowledge of railroad
management to perceive that the branches
to New Orleans, Vicksburg and Memphis
will be powerless to attract auy consider
able share of the trade and travel of the
line to or through that large and impor
tant zfifcion—the true South—bounded by
the Ohio river and Pennsylvania on the
north, the Mississippi on the west, the
Gulf of Mexico on the south, and the At
lantic ocean on the east.”
“If,” says the Augusta Constitutional
tit, “the South is determined to ’go in
for the old flag and an appropriation,
she should see to it that she does not pull
the chestnuts out of the fire for the ben
efit of her enemies.”

The Deluge of Local Legislation.
[Special Telegram to the Morning News.]
Early Adjournment of Congress.—A
Washington special to the Baltimore Sun
says : Conferences with leading Demo
crats of the House have brought out the
fact that there is an earnest desire to se
cure the earliest possible adjournment of
this session. There was some talk
on the question of a sine die
adjournment in the caucus last
Thursday, and it was agreed the sooner
business can be closed up the better.
Many are in favor of fixing the date of
adjournment as early as the 1st or the
15th of April. As the latter date is only
a little more than eight weeks off it will
require a deal of hard work to bring the
business up by that time. Members say
if they make up their minds’they can do
it. A resolution fixing an early day for
adjournment will be offered in the House
before long. What the Republican ma
jority in the Senate will do with such
resolution is not yet kncwn, but the
probability is that the Senate will be just
as anxious to adjourn as the House. If
this early adjournment is definitely de
termined upon both Houses will address
themselves in earnest to the appropria
tion bills, as legislation wMbh must be
disposed of before all other matters.
A New Use for Corn.—From time to
time we learn of new and important dis
coveries in means for utilizing our farm
products, discoveries which, though seem
ingly unimportant at first sight, have
the end proved of great advantage to
both producer and consumer. Of these
the latest is the discovery that sugar and
molasses of good quality cau be suc
cessfully produced from Indian corn.
The first experiment .was made in
Iowa a short time since, and the result
is said to be such as may be con
sidered the foundation of an extensive
and important industry. Following this
initial experiment, a few farmers
various districts took the matter iu hand
and found it very lucrative. A somewhat
exteusive Western sugar-mill has i^ro-
duced the new process, and to this mill
the farmers m the vicinity took their
corn and sold it, the operation being
similar to that of the system af the
butter and cheese factories. It is stated
that a quality of molasses can be pro
duced from corn far superior to that pro
duced from sorghum, and the syrup can
be made to granulate for sugar with a
little skill and experience.

Pinchback’s Appeal,—Pinchback has
written a letter complaining of the un
fairness of # the Senate in exposing him to
attack, with no opportunity to reply. He
instances the remarks of Senator Merri-
Bion that he was in the Louisiana peni
tentiary on the charge of burglary.
Pinch says that it was on account of a
personal rencontre, and that he can bnng
witnesses to prove that he acted in self-
defense. The Senators who want infor
mation can get it, and he trusts that he
will not be attacked in a cowardly man
ner. Pinch follows the same line with
Bruce and Lynch, and says he does not
favor a color line in politics or a political
organisation on the basis of race. Tie
appeals to the Senate to make the ques
tion of admittance a prima facie one, and
if it can be shown that he is not worthy
of sitting in the Senate they can unseat
him. The fact is, the Republican Sena
tors are fearful for the future of the
party. There is every probability of the
Senate beiDg Democratic on March 4,
1877, and if Pinchback is rejected there
will certainly be two Democratic Sena
tors from Louisiana, or no representation
at all.
The Infamous Billings.—The New
York Tribune thus announces the Senate’s
confirmation of Billings as Judge of the
United States District Court of Louisi
ana: “Judge DurelTs Gratz has been con
firmed, and to the inexpressible mortifi
cation of the bar and of all decent citi
zens of New Orleans, Billings presides
over the court in which he has distin
guished himself os a rascal’s attorney. It
will be utterly futile for auy of the
“Senatorial group” of the President’s
supporters to pretend after this that they
desire administrative reform in the South,
or to disclaim responsibility for the out
rageous proceedings in Louisiana, which
form the saddest chapter in the history
of the Republican party. Billings has
been nominated and confirmed not
merely in spite of his complicity in those
transactions, but because of it. We ex
pected nothing else from our obstinate
President; but we did hope that at least a
minority of the Republican Senators had
independence and common sense enough
to say no. But they seem to be nearly all
alike!”
Lee and Longstreet.—A letter from
General Fitz Hugh Lee has been called
out by that of General Longstreet, writ
ten to his uncle July 24th, 1863, and say
ing that the battle of Gettysburg was not
fought as he “would have had it.” Gen.
Fitz Hugh Lee says: “Longstreet’s letter
to his.uncle is first-rate in temper and
tone, if it is genuine, and only given to
the public in his self-defense. His splen
did corps is encamped in the hearts of all
true Southerners. His own courage and
soldierly wisdom during the war were of
the highest order. If he had a different
plan to fight Gettysburg upon, and it was
given to General Lee before the battle,
and General Lee had written since re
gretting that he had not adopted it, I am
one of those who are desirous of giving
him all the credit for military sagacity
General Lee himself, (if all this be true,)
was willing to confer, but in common
with an army of Confederates, I ask for
all the facts in the case, and especially
the whole of the letter said to have been
written in January, 1864, and of which
only one short sentence Las been pub"
lished.”
It is reported that the distribution of
the fund appropriated for the relief of
the grasshopper sufferers in Kansas and
Nebraska benefited speculators and
others, but did not reach the agricultural
community at all. This matter is to be
inquired into by the House, and the
namesWf the parties to whom payments
were nEji asked for.
A Fearful Picture.—The Richmond
(Va.) Enquirer closes a long editorial ar
ticle in this graphic style : “The vam
pires that are battening on the public
exchequer must be hunted down, whether
they lurk in the deceiving glamour of
private citizenship, or bask in the suppo
sitious security of public officers. Now
that the outer and factitious shell has
been broken*, the vulture’s egg has been
pipped, we must see the whole bird in all
its misshapen auatomy. The popular
clamor demands this in tones that can no
longer be disregarded. ^ would be well,
therefore, for the administration organs
to pipe us a tune more pertinent to the
situation. Let them, we repeat, stand up
to the rack, and make a clean breast of it
—throw themselves on the mercy of the
court. The more obstinate they are the
heavier will be the verdict of this great
American jury. The honor of the nation
demands that there should be an end to
subterfuge and evasion. In foreign eyes
the position assumed at Washington
taints the whole body politic, and brings
our centennial year into rcorn.”
Ex-Gov. Allen, of Ohio, who was beaten
last fall, has been interviewed on the
general condition of things, and .gives it
as his opinion that three things ought to
be done immediately; First, put a stop to
the stealing of public money ; second, re
duce the public expenditures in all branches
of the government, and third, reduce the
taxes. If these things are not 4°ne, we
shall, he thinks, come at last to repudia
tion. Of the furious struggle going on
between Republican aspirants to the
Presidency, the old gentleman said :
“Some distinguished gentlemen who
are seeking the greatest office on the
globe remind me of commercial drum
mers running around the country showing
their samples. By G—d, sir, I would not
do this for the office itself. It has be
come a grab game amoDg the five or six
Republican aspirants, and if this kind of
business is to be tolerated by the people,
the empire might as well come at once.”
The New York Sun says; Boss Grant
tries hard to swear Babcock out of the
St. Louis whisky conspiracy; but he does
not seem to notice the point that swear
ing Babcock innocent is swearing Grant
guilty. If the President was not an
arrant fool, and the next thing to an idiot
in this business, he was a fellow-con
spirator, and should be impeached and
deposed.

A straw that may be taken for what it
is worth is the result of an interviewing
process amoDg the members of the Min
nesota Legislature and the Republican
politicians at the State capital. Eighty-
two people were questioned, and of these
forty-eight confessed to being openly in
favor of Blaine first and last for the Re
publican Presidential nomination, while
the remaining thirty-four were divided
among Washburne, Bristow, Grant,
Morton and a half dozeu others who re
ceived one or two votes. Of the minority
Washburne led with twelve voices in his
favor. The St. Paul Press, which made
the investigation, considers it certain
that Minnesota will send a Blaine dele
gation to the National Convention.
Well, the honest men of the country
would as soon give the Maine hyena a
voyage up Salt river next fall as any of
his Radical superiors. If the Democracy
can’t beat Blaine they can’t beat any one
else.
Tbe Republicans in Washington are
said to be in a decided flutter over the
unexpected position which Bruce, the
colored Senator from Mississippi, has
taken. He denounces the party and its
leaders, accuses them of gross treachery
to the colored people, and asserts that the
stories of Southern outrages are gotten
up merely for political effect. It
strange, says the Louisville ledger, that
every intelligent colored man in the South
did not see these very patent facts long
ago. Radical friendship for the negro
has always been a pretense and a sham,
kept up to serve party ends. The truest
friend the colored people ever had in the
Republican ranks was Charles Sumner,
and they rewarded that friendship by
deserting him towards the end of his
career, to follow blindly in the leadership
of the thieves and corruptionists, who
made Sumner ashamed of the party he
had done so much to found and strength-
And Grant’s Son Opened its Mouth

Fred Grant at the White House a few

The Colonel is represented as saying: “If
anybody thinks there’s any third term
here, he’s mistaken. Father don’t want
to be President any more, and won’t
accept a nomination if the Cincinnati
Convention offers it to him.” The con
versation turning to the chances of dif
ferent candidates he expressed unbounded
admiration for Senator Conkling, remark
ing: “He’s a statesman, a good Republi
can and just the man for President.’' Ho
added the hope that Mr. Conkling would
get the nomination, and said he thought
he would slip in as Lincoln did in 1860.
Third. The sale of waste lands to needy

obedience. For these persons a general

SOUTH CAROLINA AFFAIRS.
Columbia, S. C., February 16. — The
special committee of the House of Repre
sentatives presented to-dav articles of im
peachment against Judge Montgomery Mo
ses. They charge that In Spartanburg county
in 1874, he refused to permit a grand jury
to present certain public officials ; that at
various times, for decisions rendered by
them, be corruptly demanded and received
public moneys from officers of the court,
promising to screen them from punish
ment ; that for four years he has willfully
neglected to perform hi# judicial duties’;
that he has, at various times, refused to sign
orders in suits presented him by consent of
litigants; and that lie has compelled public
officials to issue evidences of public indebt
edness contrary to law. The articles were
adopted by the House by a vote of ninety-
one to none, and a committee of five ap
pointed to prepare rules for the trial.
A bill was introduced in the Senate to
legislate out of office F. J. Mosts and W. J.

of the Judga just impeached. The plan is

SECOR’s TUBS AND THINGS.

connected with the North Atlautic fleet
whom they examined gave tbeir views on
the subject of reform, making valuable
suggestions in that direction. Th
gay, in general terms, that oar ves
sels are inferior iu construction speed,
arrangement, etc., to nearly all other
vessels which they have seen belonging to
foreign nations, and that iu tho construe
tion of our vessels obsolete types are fol
lowed. As to monitors, they are valuable
for river and harbor defense. They do not
place much value ou the eight sloops of war
recently built, as they are deficient iu speed
and otherwise objectionable. They, how
ever, consider the Trenton the best of that
class. The abuse of political influence at
the Norfolk navy yard, and also the open
purchase system of supplies, were distinctly
shown.

The Louisville Ledger says: If Grant

adventure. Too many Radical voters
are being sent to the penitentiary.
One cold is sometimes contracted on top
of another, the accompanying cough be
coming settled and confirmed, aud the
luDgs so strained and racked, that tbe pro
duction of tubercles frequently follows.
Many existing cases of pulmonary disease
may be thus accounted for. aud yet how
many others are now carelessly allowing
themselves to drift through the preliminary
svmptoms, controlled by the fatal policy of
allowing a cold to take care of itself! On
the first intimation of a cough or cold, or
any throat or lung trouble, resort promptly
to Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, a safe curative
of long established reputation, and you may
avoid the consequences of such dangerous

Dixon, the object of which is to show
that Americans are to be “ultimately dis
placed by healthy foreigners, negroes and
Chinese.” The editor sagaciously ob
serves : “The pinch, as we see, is color.
Across the Atlantic, from the coast of
Africa, have been idiotically imported
blacks, now numbered by millions.
Across the Pacific, from Canton and Hong
Kong, are pouring yellow Chinese in
thousands, tens of thousands. No one
can tell when or how the yellow delnge is
