Thb TtwCT 'Oflfi<* has hwn remotad from Own by'i Building to the old Enquirer Oflhe, on Ran (lulj)li ntrwl. third dour wet of the Pout Office. The American Social Science Con gress Is now holding Its session In Detroit. It costa tUo Ainerieun Colonization Noddy #BSO to send a negro to Libe ria. He pays hi own expenses back after remaining In Liberia over Sun day. The strike of the railroad employ ees of Pennsylvania has resulted in absqluto failure. The uuions have beeofne demoralized, are disbanding, rpd,thf members uro tendering their sendees to the companies in large numbers. Except the leaders in the strike they are generally being rein stated. The Gold Reoiow. —The 15lack Hills a few months ago, were a region al most as unknown to the American people as aretiie sources of the Nile, but they are El Dorado to the adven turers of the West. Our dispatches indicate that The Indians, who, by treaty, have absolute possession of the Black Hills, are willing to sell their rights, and no doubt will take a price much loss than the real value. Justso. The history of the Indians of North America is embraced in the above. It is the policy that has been pursued siuec the time “the best gov-; ernment the world ever saw” was es-; tabllshod. '‘Might makes right;” • The end Justifies the means.' 1 The editor of the Greenville IN. C. J Neion, savs of the Ninth District cam paign: t'Gtil. Estes swallowed the Reconstruction acts, and the amend ments made loathe Constitution in istti, in his lirst speech in the cam paign, uud of course ho had no chance in the race in the Democrat district. Nothing short of the straight Demo cratic platform of 1870 will trot a can didate through in Georgia, and for once Ben Hill got on that platform in (he right time. He soon got off of it, however, for j according to the reporter of tho Law-; rcnceville Hcraltl ("this is his Delano- j Banquet platform rtow.t “the Koutii loves tho Constitution; tho North loves tho Union. Let the North and the South go back and unite upon tho idea of preserving the Constitution and the Union. We can all unite on that platform, let tho dead past bury its dead, and harmonize the whole coun try. The Work Hoes Bravel, On. Plymouth Church hud a great ac cession of new converts on Sunday. There were 105 of them by count; and of this largo number eighty-two were women and only twenty-three were men.“• Tribune. Tito abovo paragraph contains food for thought und reflection, but of that sort of reflection that is posi tively disgusting. The state of affairs around and in the shadow of Ply mouth Church is a natural outcrop ping of the climate. When the civ ilized world stands aghast at tho spectacle presented In the Beecher trial, It is a recorded fact that tho women of Brooklyn rally to tho sup port of their old infamous preacher, and are lulled by his syren voico into membership. This late accession to tho Church of Beeoherism is a stigma upon tho people. But, ns the man said about eating the coon, “it is just accordin to how a man's been raised.” It will all work out some of these fine days, and it will bo found necessary to send a delegation of the women of that church to Egypt to join Gen. Loring. It will be seen by the following that California is not exempt from tho monopolies which, in some form, afflict other States. Parties who think of going to California should read the following from the Nan Francisco Call : The New Monopoly. The public are just beginning to realize the troubles which are in prospect for California, if the water claims that are spt up by speculators can be sus tained. Although there is water enough for irrigating purposes and to supply the different towns and cit ies throughout the State, yet these are nearly all claimed. Such a field as is offered for making money, by an assumed ownership of the sources of wutor supply, was never before presented in any country. Water is the great and absolute necessity, per haps on one-fourtb of all the land susceptible of cultivation in Califor nia. Whoever controls or owns the water can tax these lands at pleasure. Wo talk of a laud monopoly, but this is a small affair when compared witli tho attempt to monopolize tho water. Tho people, as we have suggested, are beginning to rcalizo what, a strug gle they have In prospect, which must go all through the State. Decisions by the U. S. Treasurer. —Tho Secretary of the Treasury has made the following decisions : Salt in sacks is not considered a perishable article. Cigars brought into the United States in transit for foreign countries may bo forwarded to their destina tion irrespective of the quantity con tained in such shipment. Horses exported to be trained may be returned free of duty. Marine hospital patients are not to be treated at home except by special permission in certain cases. Vessels are not to bo documented until inspection fees have been paid. Vessels licensed for the fisheries uro not to pay a tax on tonnage. Cottons arriving in port March 2d, 1875, and entered afterwards, aro enti tled to ten per ct. reduction on duty. —Senator Conover, of Florida, has assurances that tho clause In tho ap propriation bill which provides for the construction of a canal across the isthmus of Florida will be curried out at an earlv date. This canal would save 800 miles of rough seas. It would develop those parts of Florida that aro now comparatively un sought. —lt is stated that not a single death has occurred within several miles of Now Holland Spring, in Hall county, during a period ol over fifty years. Ol I HOPES. As can be seen In our last issue, It is our purpose to do all in our power tQ draw tho attention of immlgruats and the people of tho bleak North west where tho grasshoppers uro so devastating, und tho mercury and proof-whiskey congeal, und people freeze to death from cold—to our salubrious climate and cheap lands. Our success in this enterprise depends entirely upon tho practicability of inducing our land-holders to co ojtcmte witli us. With this end in view, wo make the following proposi tion TO Tin; PLANTERS OK GEORGIA ANO EABT AEADAUA. Write us detailed descriptions of all tho land that you wish to sell, with price for tho sumo. State briefly, but specifically, 1. The total number of acres offered for sale. 2. Number acres cleared land, and character of the timber. 3. Number acres woodland. 4. Value of the Improvements, and their character. 5. General topography. 6. Yield of different crops per acre, witli and without manure, and cost of cotton seed per bushel. 7. Water powers, mills, Ac., &c., In vicinity. 8. Means of transportation and dis tant* from market. 9. Number of farms in which it can be conveniently divided, witli most prevalent diseases. 10. Prices of each tract, entire and sub-divided, with terms as to cash and tinjeand rate of interest charged. With these data published as ad vertisements sufficiently often to compensate for the work and time and expense incurred by us, we will do all in our power to promote the advantageous sale of said property, and will keep a Register, without making any charge for it, projierly numbered, in our office as a guide to all those who see fit to establish themselves among us. We will have constantly engaged an agent in New York tosee that these advertisements are distributed at Castle Garden and other suitable points. If sufficient patronage is given us to warrant the expense, we will send one of our number to the Northwest next summer, there to work up the enterprise, and induce immigrants with capital to purchase our cheap lands and mines, and aid us in devel oping this country, great in resources, but impoverished FROM THE LACK OF PEOPLE. Can they be induced to come hero ? ! We do not assert that they can ; but we think the effort should be made, and tiiat that offort should be a united one: “a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether.” If there is not co-operation, the plan can not suc ceed, and, of course, we will not attempt it. The expense of advertising will be a trifle to real estate owners, and a very small remuneration to us, and wo believe it tho cheapest mode by which the resources and properties in question can be known. Our pa per is read now by nearly two thous and people, each of whom will be in terested in the fluctuations of real estate. Gen. Wofford, who is, per haps, the largest real estate agent in upper Georgia, except those in At lanta, told us that real estate in Bar tow county, he thought, had appre ciated from twelve to fifteen percent, per annum since the close of the war. It is reasonable ty suppose that there is a proportional depreciation in other parts of the State. This steady deterioration of values must be stopped, or it will first impoverish us beyond redemption and ultimately depopulate our country. We only ask a moderate remuneration for our services and that of an agent in New York, and if that is granted us we promise to do all in our power to put the ball in motion that may change tho destinies of this country. Others more capable than ourselves will then take up the work and carry it to successful completion. “Chacun pour tons et tons pour cha eun." No time is more propitious than tho present, when our Geologi cal Bureau will furnish tho necessary data to complete that given by the planters themselves. We leave the matter to thoso to whom it concerns, and arc ready to do our part. In common with ail our people our pros perity depends on an increasing pop ulation who will bring capital as well labor. Turn the tide of immigration this way and our lands will rapidly appreciate in value. Do not say it can not be done. Look at the town of Culmann, in North Alabama, ami the mind will be at once convinced that it only needs determined and united effort to reap success. Secretary Bristow. Secretary Bristow is fast making a record that may ultimately land him in the Presidential chair. The worst legacy left by the war was the un due thirst for speculative gaiu which led to fraud in high places and a general corruption which culmina ted in the panic. It is cause for con gratulation and renewed hope that at last Gen. Grant lias appointed a man who will as fearlessly ferret out the frauds which predecessors connived at, or at least tacitly encouraged. The old adage, "Honesty is the best policy,” had become well nigh obso lete, but wo now have hope that it may again become as true as of old. After the “Credit Mobilier” and "Land Grants” to Railway corpora tions come next in order the stupen dous frauds in whiskey and distilled spirits. Secretary Bristow is unearth ing these with the ante-bellum ener gy. We give below extracts from the Tribune on this subjeet: THE INTERNAL REVENUE TAX ON LIQUORS. Previously to July 1, 18t58, the tax on distilled spirits had been two dol lars per gallon, and on that date it was reduced to fifty cents. At this rate it remained until August 1, 1872, when it was raised to seventy cents. In February, 1875, it was again raised, and is now fixed at one dollar. ' It is very wall known that when tho to* was two dollars a gallon itpro | duoed less than it did after the redue i tion wus made to fifty cents. It is not so well known that since the present Administration lias been ele vating our civil service to its present sublime altitude, the quantity of dis tilled spirits escaping the payment of taxes into the National Treasury, which was never excessively small, lias been constantly increasing. This is the fact wo propose to estab lish, leaving it for our readers tola-, terpret Its signillcance. The Hon. Columbus Delano, on page 10 of his autiual report us Com missioner of the Internal Revenue for tlie fiscal your 1869, estimates the ' annual consumption of distilled spir its in the United Huttos at that time : at not less than eighty inillUnui of gal-' lons. After the best consideration lie had been able to give the subject lie 1 estimated tiiat the Tax law, as it then stood, if faithfully enforced, would yield an annual revenue of sixty mil lions of dollurs. (Vide Report, 1801, p. 10. j The population of the country since then has increased at least one sixth, and the taxes on spirits have been very considerably increased, but the total amount collected in the! fiscal year ended June 30, 1874. from ; tliis source, was only £49,444,090, in- \ eluding licenses. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1870 (The change from 1 the two-dullar rate to fifty cents hav ing been made in 1868a the returns to the Commissioner of Internal Reve nue showed u total taxable produc-1 tion of liquors distilled from other material than fruits, of 71,337,099 gal- ; ions. The saino rejiort Showed that the distilleries of the country, if op erated to the full extent of their uu- 1 paeity for ten months out of the twelve, were capable of producing 203,912,800 gallons a year. Let us see | how the annual production, ns far as discovered and taxed by the Internal Revenue officers, compares for the j last five years; It was, in 1870, 71,337,099 gallons. It wus, in 1871, 54,576,440 gallons. It was, in 1872, 68,275,745 gallons. It was, in 1873, 68,236,567 gallons. It was, in 1874, 68,805,374 gallons. 1 The United Kingdom advances in population much less rapidly than ■ tlie United States, yet the respective | quantities of British and foreign spirits and wines retained and taxed j for home consumption in that eoun- j try tell a very different tale from ! ours, comparing as follows for the six years 1868-1873, inclusive: British Spirits.

Tlie revenue derived ] by Great Britain in the year ended March 31, 1874, was $73,000,600 from j British spirits, $26,000,000 from for eign liquors, $9,000,000 from foreign j wines, and $38, 000.000 from malt j liquors. In the fiscal year 1871, the \ United States received $44,000.000 from the gallon tax on spirits, $9,000,- ! 000 from malt liquors, and $8,000,000 j from customs duties on foreign wines j and liquors. From 1864 to 1874, the British revenue from excise duties on i spirits increased more than fifty per | cent without any change whatever | in the tax per gallon. In the fiscal year 1870 the United States derived u revenue from spirits of $55,581,599, in eluding license fees, and though the tux was raised to seventy cents a gal lon August 1, 1872, the Internal Rev enue Otiice lias never succeeded in matching its receipts for 1870 under the fifty cent tax! These are tlie facts. We leave to Commissioner Douglass the difficult tusk of explaining them. Since lie could not explain them lie wus very properly removed from of liee. Thanks to Secretary Bristow. N. K. Tribune. In the removal of Air. Douglass, a blow was struck at the system which his predecessor, Mr. Delano, initia ted, as well as at the individual who continued it. Douglass lacked effi eiency as well as other qualifications more important. Unfitness at tlie head extended through the rank and file, until the revenue fell off alarm ingly, and tho now whiskey frauds in three months are rated at a round million. To perpetrate these frauds success fully required collusion oil a large scale between the Collectors and Commissioner’s office.. Of its exist ence there can now be but little doubt, for tlie facts uro overwhelm ing, and’exclude any possibility of satisfactory explanation. Certainly Mr. Douglass was able to make none, and ho was not dismissed without a full knowledge of the reasons lor that summary step,—JVeui Turk Sun. Tlir Annlo of F.oroiH*. Beginning with Russia, that power has at tliis moment under arms 730,- IMX) of the active force ready for tlie field, 120,0ut) men classed as garrison troops, 80,000 of the load force, 266,- 000 of the reserve, 257,000 men in de pots, and, finally, 7u,000 Cossacks en rolled for the active contingent, or a total of 1,463,000 men, ready for the business of war at short notice. Upon tlie enforcement of tlie new iaws reg ulating obligatory service, tlie field force could be speedily enlarged to 900,n0d men, and there could be drawn a force of 68,000 men from tho special corps occupying the Caucasus, making the effective strength 1,760,- 000. This may be readily augmented by 200,000 Cossacks, and from the OpoUclumsi or Landiw.hr may bo drat ted another million of men'giving an aggregate of 2,900,000 available for war purposes. For this immense force the very best of modern arms have been provided, including the Gavliug gun and tlie latest improved American revolver for the ' cavalry Never before was Russia so well pre pared in all respects for war, defen sive or offensive. The scale of Prussian military pre paration is known to all men. Re cently the Prussian artillery lias been completely reorganized, and the field artillery, separated from that designed forslegennd fortress service, has been distributed among the sev eral army corps, at the rate of two regiments, eueli of two battalions and eight batteries, to the corps. Of these batteries there are 300, aud when completed the organization will con sist of 35 regiments with an arma ment of 1,200 pieces, to be increased to 1,800 in war. The foot or fortress and siege artillery, at present, em brace 29 battalions of four companies each, armed with the needle-gun, ami trained iu infantry as well as ip heavv artillery service. Without counting the reserves, we may set down the Imperial army at nearly 900,000 men. AH the frontier fortresses are being rapidly enlarged and strengthened by every engineering device; and it is noteworthy that those on the Russian border have received as close atten tion as those facing France. By a recent act of the Reichstag provision was also made for tho maintenance of the Landsturm fold soldiers for seven years, at a peace footing of 400.000 men. Franco of course lias boon making prodigious exertions to keep pace with these preimrations of Prussia and Russia, and has a reorganized army of at least 625,000 men, exclusive of tlie new Territorial armies.

One thing, however, has been settled ; no care is to be spared to preserve the maritime supremacy and strength of England, whose navy to-day is even stronger, relatively, than ever before ; and was never so formidable for offense or so effective for defense. —lf.

Esq.—Dear Sir: ,s> well phased I am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes tify to the superior merit of your unequal**! preparation for Neuralgia. I shall esteem my self happy should even one of that worst of all classes • i sufferers be led through me to take the Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar tyr t > the most malignant and persistent neural gic torture, withent being able t" find any relief except front your prejiaration. Hh was relieved by the second d' Se as p< r directions, and has not had a return of it for two months. To some I may seem strangely sanguine about yur medi cine. but I have a right to be so. It is not rea sonable to suppose thin malignant mala.ly would have died of sheer oxhiusiiou oi capacity for sustaining itself, aud that too in a minute, aud tiie very minute tout medicine was tak n. Tf so, it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, aud I prefer giving the credit in your favor of the best testimony man taioever have—experience. Vary truly yqtirs, JAMES T. TOSH. Columbus, January 16, 1875. Mr.Jordan: —l take great pleasure rn reccip ; mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia, lias produced a most wonderful relief in one oi ' the severest attacks of nenrulgia my daughter ever has had. She has been treated for it by three skillful physicians, with very little benefit, aud used all the usual remedies with little suc cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per manent cure. It iB only two days since we began the use of it, and it is apparently of permanent benefit. Yours, with respect, MRS. L. I. NORMAN. JOII\ L. JOKIIAV. Apothecary.
