Crooked Whiskey— Some “ Results of
the War.”
Just now, the revelations In the rev
enue eases of St. Louis are stirring the
country to its inner deeps. Upon this
theme, the Chicago Tribune grows elo
quent, confessing, too, that the details
are sickening, and that they weaken
confidence in human integrity and
throw a doubt over all human profes
sions of honor, religion and morality.
The same paper continues in this
strain:
Merchants who have for a lifetime held
high commercial rank—who. as respect
able and moral citizens, have been social
exemplars and leaders in all the political,
moral and religious movements to arrest
crime and lead men to better lives—are
found to have been participants in these
frauds, and sharers of the apoils of a plun
dered treasury. The scope of these frauds
is appalling. They were not the mere vul
gar offense of defrauding the revenue by
secreting lace in a petticoat, or diamonds
in a neck-tie, in order to escape the pay
ment of a petty charge for duty. It was
something more than this, To carry on
these frauds required, on the part of dis
tillers and rectifiers, false bookkeeping,
forgery of returns, non-payment of taxes,
and the introduction of their whole work
ing force to a system of falsehood, fraud
and swindling. On the part of the
Gaugers and other officers of the reve
nue it required violations generally of their
official oaths, and a special act of perjury
each time they made an official report; it
involved the acceptance of. special and
general bribes by all the officials involved,
from the highest to the lowest, and a guilty
knowledge of the criminal conduct of all
the accomplices—principals and subordi
nates. It included the actual commission
or the criminal participation in the crimes
or official and unofficial perjury, forgery,
false bookkeeping, bribery, and robbing of
the revenue. And all this for the meanest
and most degraded of all motives — money.
Had any man gone before the Chamber of
Commerce of St. Louis and proved that
twenty or thirty of the most respected
,uerchants of that city had been engaged
lor four years in a systematic robbery of
their fellow merchants, and had resorted
to perjury, forgery and bribery to accom
plish their ends, and had actually obtained
three millions of money dishonestly, how
long would the guilty have teen permitted
to continue as members of the Chamber ?
How long would these men be tolerated as
merchants, or as members of society i
Would they not properly fall to the plane
of all the confidence men and swindlers
who put forged notes or checks upon the
market, and swear to falsehoods for a price
per oath ?
The point made in some of these
cases, as an excuse, is that cheating
the Government is only a venial fault
at best. It is safe to say, however,
that the man who so reasons may be
gin by swindling the Government, but
will indubitably end in robbing his
neighbor. The road to the Pit is very
slippery, and the first false step is fol
lowed by a thousand strides into the
very depths of degradation.
But it is towards the Federal offi
cials that the Tribune directs its most
powerful excoriation. This almost
universal corruption is a theme for the
patriot of all parties, and an abundant
reason why the people should rise in
their wrath at the ballot-box and
sweep from power a party that has
brought the once proud American name
into disgrace and contumely. We quote
the concluding words of our Western
cor temporary:
From high to low; from the Granger
earning his few dollars a day to the confi
dential officers of the Revenue Department,
all have proved false, all have had an itch
ing palm, all have sacrificed personal and
official honor and oaths to share with the
criminals the plunder of the Treasury.
The disclosures show officer after officer
yielded to the temptations of money; how
they betrayed their employers; and how
they actually sought out the men who were
involved in crime, that their official silence
might be purchased. Is official integrity
no longer a fact, and does our civil-service
attest the truth of the English Minister’s
sweeping assertion that every man has his
price? For this decay in morals, for this
decline in official integrity, for this degra
dation of official life, society is largely re
sponsible. The country is largely supplied
with men who have become rich by ques
tionable means. Wealth seems to be recog
nized as a mantle amply sufficient to cover
all dishonesty in the manner of its acquisi
tion. The man who gets rich, no mat
ter by what means, is respected. The
corrupt office holder assumes that his
accumulations will enable him to purchase
social position without regard to the man
ner of his obtaining them. Hence office is
now sought, not for its honors, or its legiti
mate salary, but for its opportunities. The
country has rejoiced at the exposure and
conviction of Tweed and his associates.
But the St. Louis conspirators are even
guilty of greater crimes than the New York
ring. They have committed a series of
distinct crimes of the most infamous char
acter. They have robbed the Government
of millions. The corrupting influences of
their crime have had a wide extent, reach
ing into other cities, where like offenses
have been committed. Why should not
these men and their crimes meet with the
same general condemnation and punish
ment? Why should not these criminals bo
held up to the gaze of the world as ex
amples of infamy, as well as the New York
Ring, whose members have become fugi
tives and outcasts?
And in thus holding these rogues up
to infamy, let the causes that led them
on and the original authors of crime be
whelmed in the same general mael
strom of destruction. The prime cause
of our present troubles is what some
writer has aptly called “the African
school of American politics.” From
he legitimate results of the war the
Union might have escaped with wounds
easily healed; but when Sumner, Gree
ley, Thad Stevens, Wendell
Trumbull and their pestilent followers
instituted anew war and anew revela
tion, as embodied in their laws against
true liberty and society, the conse
quences were bound to be appalling,
and the outcropping of their crimes
is now before the country.
Third Term. —A Sunday paper has
been started at Washington, advocating
a third term for Grant. This paper
takes the ground'that Grant alone can
save the .Republican party in 1876.
The Baltimore Sun's correspondent
chronicles as a fact that Gov. Hayes,
after the campaign was over in Ohio,
stated in the Executive Mansion in
Harrisburg, while a guest of Gov.Har
tranet, that the educational question
had given the Republicans the victory
in the Buckeye State. It was Mr.
Grant who made that question a Re
publican issue in a speech delivered a
few weeks previous to the Ohio elec
tion.
That Mortgage.— Some of our con
temporaries wonder why Gen. Grant
had to borrow money from Mr. Dins
more on a mortgage. Perhaps he did
so to give 1118 daughter an outfit or put
Prince Fred into the banking business.
At any rate, the President-General does
not seem to be a very rich man.
Lamar.— lt is said that in case of Mr.
Lamar’s election to the Senate, it would
create a vacancy in the House. This
is a mistake. The term in the Senate
vo il not commence until the expiration
of the term in the House for which Mr.
Lamar has just been elected.
The Decline of Commercial Honor
and Official Integrity,
Early in 1862, we were mueh im
pressed with a remark made by Prof.
Dimitry, of Louisiana. Speaking of the
war, he said: “No matter how the con
flict shall end, the saddest sight of all
will be not the crippled bodies of men,
but their crippled morals.” He then
went on to show how war was one of
the most monstrous evils that could
afflict mankind, not altogether because
of death and wounds, or even the loss
of material prosperity, but in conse
quence of the laxity of principle which
almost always ensued. Look abroad
over this country, North and South,
and behold what wrecks are strewn
everywhere ! Reputations which stood
the sunshine of prosperity have
wilted UDder the cold blasts of ad
versity, and characters which remained
spotless in comparative poverty have
become hideous with the corruptions
of gain. Extravagance, speculation,
evil example, the temporary triumph
of the wicked, the overthrow of the
social and laboring institutions of the
South, the accursed Reconstruction
Acts—these are some of the baleful
agencies which have sown the wind and
reaped the whirlwind. The prevailing
vice, in and out of office, all over the
land, seems to be dishonesty and a loss
of that keen sense of what we call
chivalry, once so conspicuous In our
earlier days. It is dreadful to contem
plate, and easy to predict the final
result.
Examples of a decadence of public
and morale are so numerous,
and have been so constantly paraded,
that not only Is “indignation fatigued,”
but manyj persons hitherto above re
proach, beholding how “the courtesan
pushes, the charlatan thrives,” when
virtue is at a discount and begging its
bread—many persons, we say, in their
great agony and menacing despair,
are tempted|to exclaim; “What is the
use of being honest after all?” The
answer, of course, to this ejaculation
is a prompt, and should be an effective,
one. It is far better to suffer any
human extremity rather than “pawn
your soul for the devil’s dismal stock
of returns.” be remembered,
likewise, that Nemesis exists even in
the affairs cf this world, and the end
of the wicked is usually such as should
make their copartners In crime tremble,
and teach the just that a good name
maintained, even amidst poverty steep
ed to the lips, is better than gold and
“far above rubles.”
A traveller iu China relates that the
“Celestials” coat the walls of their
houses with a thin veneer, which, when
undisturbed, makes an appearance of
beauty and cleanliness, but when the
stucco drops off, a most repulsive spec
tacle is presented to the gaze. So it is
with prosperous vice. The superficial
view is alluring to the man or woman
whose thoughts are sensual and earth
earthy; but when the hypocrite or
deceiver Is unmasked, no sepulchre
filled with putrescence or dead men’s
bones is more revolting.
A Singular Cliarge and Remarkable
Proof.
The Savannah Neivs thinks Dr. W. W.
Hicks has lost his mind. In substan
tiation of this idea, the following edi
torial from the Fernandina Observer,
Dr. Hick’s paper, is presented :
Now, since it has become apparent that
neither in the State, nor nation, is there
the slightest chance remaining for the suc
cess of the Democratic party, so-ealled, or
rather for any effective combination of its
heterogenous, incoherent, incompatible,
and even, in the light of fundamental ideas
and principles, antagonistic elements, wo
recur to the expression adopted for our
text, so often used of late in the State jour
nals of the Democratic party, and desire to
question its meaning for the especial benefit
of those in the State to the manor born, or,
in other words, for the “natives,” as they
sometimes style themselves, without re
gard to the fact, or, still again, for “our
people,” which, after all, is the better de
signation for those compound Whig and
Democratic, or Union and Secession ele
ments of party in the State constituting a
class rather than a party, and which they
themselves must admit is, in regard to
distinctive political sentiments, neither
“fish, flesh nor fowl, nor good red herring,”
and could not possibly be heid together,
even for a day, on the basis of any common
political principles, but are alone kept in
conjunction through similarity of unrea
soning passions and prejudices, jealousies,
hatreds and revenges, yet impoteutly
chafing in their self-consuming rage, irra
tional, aimless and objectless in their blind
fury.
We must confess that the proof of
lunacy in the above paragraph is very
powerful. The News considers it irre
fragible evidence. But Douglass Jer
rold nearly went crazy himself in try
ing to understand Robert Browning’s
poem of “Sordello,” and it may be that
Dr. Hicks is only mad when the wind
is Southerly.
Wall Street.— The New York Graphic
bids men “beware of Wall street.”
When the fools are all dead, Wall street
will cease to prosper. But the fools
are many and very lively.
Sugar —The increase of the sugar
crop in Louisiana this year Is reported
at forty-five thousand hogsheads more
than any other season since the war.
The President and the Whiskey
Frauds.
The St. Lonis Republican of the sth
instant says : “The attempt to get the
whole Republican payty interested in
saving the revenue delinquents comes
too late. We believe President Grant
is wholly disconnected with the whiskey
frauds. Our information is reliable
that he has co-operated thoroughly
with Secretary Bristow in unearthing
the frauds. When appealed to by Mc-
Donald, Joyce and others, to interfere
with Bristow’s work, he firmly, and with
emphasis, declined, as he has since
done. He has been visited at Washing
ton, Long Branch and here by scores
of persons, advising the dismissal of
the suits, but invariably replied as
before, taking the ground that, if
innocent, the facts would vindicate the
officers under the most searching
in /estigation. It had, indeed, reached
the point where this position was
accessary to vindicate himself. During
the President’s late visit to St.
Louis, General McDonald sent up
his card for a personal inter
view, when, as we are creditably in
formed, Mr. Grant returned word that
‘he could not receive or hold inter
course with any Government official
resting under the odium of indictment
for defrauding the revenue.’ No doubt
the President has been imposed upon,
and very shamefully, too, by his pro
fessional friends ; but, if he had *any
real connection with the whiskey riDg,
he is quite as willing that all the facts
shall be known, as that he shall rest
under a suspicion fully as damaging.”
HEALTH.
HOW CITIES SHOULD DISPOSE OP
THEIR GARBAGE.
Startling Pacts in Regard to Intem
perance.
[Special Correspon. Cincinnati Gazette.]
Baltimore, November 11.
Jackson S. Schultz, Esq., of New
York, read an interesting paper to-day
on the “Utilization of animal and vege
table refuse substances in our larger
cities.” He treated the subject in an
economical point of view, having also
due regard to sanitary relations. He
evidently possesses an extreme delicacy
of conscience against any waste of what
may be turned to human account. He
calculated that the garbage of every
house occupied by a single family
would feed one hog. Cities, therefore,
like St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Baltimore and Boston should save
sufficient garbage to feed from 60,000
to 80,000 hogs. He sought to show that
the cost of collecting and feeding it
would be but little more than is incur
red in dumping it into the ocean, lakes
and streams. New York should pur
chase one of the adjoining islands for
the purpose of feeding and otherwise
providing for these animals.
He held that all the horses that die
should be promptly disposed of in the
same way. These dead animals should
be worth £750,000 per year to New York
city—the hides alone being worth four
dollars per head. He had seen the
operation’ of this system of economy
iu Paris, where nothing is allowed to
go to waste.
Until 1827, hogs were the only scav
engers of New York. At about this
time the warfare upon these animals
that were doubly useful, began, and
now the refuse of families is not only
lost, but made a source of great
expense to the city. Hotels sell their
garbage at from £SOO to £2,000 each.
This shows the great value of the
refuse of the whole city.
la,carrying out his scheme, he would
utilize, also, the labor of able-bodied
paupers and criminals who should be
made to pay for their support.
At the close of this paper Dr. Hunt,
of New Jersey, said that hogs might
no doubt be fattened in this way, but
who would eat them? Let the sale of
one hundred thousand suoh hogs be
advertised, and he had no doubt the
market for that day would sensibly de
cline.
Mr. Schultz replied that hogs were
grown on swill and garbage all over
the country, and the best pork was ob
tained among farmers who thus fed
their growing pigs. He presumed that
many delicate appetites would shrink
before a breakfast of ham, could they
have iu their mind’s eye a full view of
the kind of food which hogs devoured
with avidity; but they should remem
ber that the hog possesses a laboratory
well adjusted to the work of separating
the elements contained in its food.
intemperance.
The crusaders would have shouted
aloud this afternoon had they heard
two papers and a little speech on the
use of alcoholic drinks, delivered to
the Association. Homer O. Hitchcock,
M. D., of Kalamazoo, Mich., read a
paper on “The relations of the exces
sive habitual use of alcoholic drinks to
public healtn and public welfare,” and
W. G. Harrison, M. D., of Baltimore,
delivered a speech on “The Effects of
Alcohol in Relation to Life Insurance.”
Dr. Hitchcock piled up the facts to
a terrible height in condemnation of
spirituous dfinks, including even wine
and malt liquors. He started out with
the figures, giving the quantity used
by our people:
Alcoholic drinks, gallons 120,000,000
Malt liquors, gallons 400,000,000
Domestic wines, gallons 20,000,000
Imported wines, gallons 20,000,000
Total 560,000,000
This affords fourteen gallons to every
man, woman and child. He calculated
the entire loss to the country from
strong drinks, including sickness, in
sanity, deaths, crime, etc., etc., at
£2,000,000,000, or £SO for every man,
woman and child.
He gave the facts reported for
England, that six-tenths of the insan
ity of that country was produced by
intemperance. He showed by many
proois that insanity prevailed in locali
ties in precise ratio to their intemper
ance. Reports from idiotic and deaf
and dumb asylums show that sixty per
cent, of the patients owe their misfor
tune to this vice in their parents. Fully
half the idiots of the country are the
children of drunkards.
Abundant facts prove that Intemper
ance shortens life. The expectation of
life to teetotalers over twenty years of
age is forty-four years, and of drink
ers fifteen years ; over thirty years of
age thirty-six and thirteen ; over forty
years of age twenty-eight and eleven!
Dr. Harrison related the experience of
a mutual life insurance company that
started with the determination to in
sure none but teetotalers ; but it was
found necessary to extend their mem
bership to moderate drinkers. They
kept the two classes distinct, and found
the death-rate among the teetotalers
was thirty-eight per cent, less than
had been expected, while among the
moderate drinkers it was one-tenth of
one per cent, less. Dr. Hitchcock as
serted on evidence that but eighteen
per cent, of all State prisoners pretend
to have been temperate. Alcohol de
stroys forty-nine thousand men every
year in the United States, making a
loss to the country of seven hundred
and eighty-four thousand years of time
and labor.
After these papers were read, Dr.
Hunt of New Jersey, said that, aside
from the moral relations of the pro
blem, the whole question of the use of
alcoholic drinks should be reinvestigat
ed on physiological and hygienic
grounds by the entire profession. He
had reviewed the whole argument
during the past year, and was prepared
to protest in the name of science against
alcohol, both as a beverage and a medi
cine. The number of teetotalers who
drink as invalids is astonishing, and
Dr. Hunt believed they were deluded.
He quoted eminent authority as de
claring that “alcohol, even in small
quantities, is the very genius of all de
generation of the tissues.”
There are two hundred and fifty old
members of this association, and about
eighty have been admitted at this meet
ing. It is commanding the highest
respect of the whole medical profession
and of all the scholars of the country.
If I Only Had Leisure.— “lf I had
leisure I would repair that weak place
in my fence,” said a farmer. He had
none, however, and while drinking
cider with a neighbor, the cows broke
in and injured a prime piece of corn.
“If I had leisure,” said a wheelwright
last winter, “I would alter my stove
pipe, for I know it is not safe.” But he
did not find time, and when his shop
caught fire and burned down, he found
time to build another. “If I had leis
ure,” said a mechanic, “I should have
my work done in season.” The man
thinks his time had been all occupied,
but he was not at work till after sun
rise; he quit work*at 5 o’clock, smoked
a cigar after dinner, and spent two
hours on the street talking nonsense
with an idler. “If I had leisure,” said
a merchant, “I would pay more atten
tion to my accounts, and would try and
collect my bills more promptly.” The
chance is, my friend, if you had leisure
you would probably pay less attention
to the matter.
