Oar reasons were briefly stated, because the sentiments then uttored \vere in reference to a settled past, -and for tbe further reason, t)iat their onlr tendency was to the injury of the South, and to the pre* vention of that restoration of selfgovernment which is so essential, not only to liberty, but to tbe prosperity of all industrial pursuits and progress. It is the height of wisdom to perceive and acknowledge the trujji. The recognition of events as they are is even an imperative duty in tbe light of the public welfare. It is the recogni lion of a fact. It is with facts, and not with theories, that statesmanship has to deal: Goneral Lee perceived the truth. Ai^d there is little question that Ills name will descend to oratori. ty, jag the central figure of the Southern cause, not only on account of his bravery in battle, but of his supremo wisdom, since the decision rendered by the arbitrament of arms. Theso are times when speech is silver. There are also times when silence is golden. The common want ot the South is redemption, and a return to real self government. This cannot be attained by a useless repining as against the past. This is as futile as the beating of the wings of the bird against its wired cage. The fnfnro can novo? ' ! ? ? ? w?- mv? v? uv ubtniuuu 111 this way. A future this Commonwealth and the States of the South must have. This is alike their no* ceesity, and esseutial for their development. That future can alone be consummated by letting 14 the dead past bury its dead," and dealing with the living issues of the present, " heart within and Qod overhead." It is not committed to us to control events. It is committed to nst0 8hape and regulate them for the pub ic welfare. Mr. Davis was the President of tl^o late Confederate States. He was their representative in the late war. But the war is over. The decision of the sword has been rendered. Beyond this there is no appeal. When, therefore, Mr. Davis, cither intentionally or by inference, recommends a return to another revolution, he simply docs violence to his own position, and no longer occupies the position of a representative of the Southern people. His representation ceased with the close of the war. Since then the people of the South havo been placed face to face with destiny, and have had to deal with it m their own defenco and security. There are but two political parties in the country, the Republicans and the Democracy. There is no effective intermediate organization. The latter have announced their platform on the basis of the * binding obligation of all the provisions of the Constitution, as they >now exist, and the deprecation of the discussion of the issues which have been settled, in the manner and by the authority constitutionally appointed." When, therefore, Mr. Davis -takes issue with this position, he simply arrays himself again*t the Democracy of the conntrv. and declares for nn iunln. ted and impossible position. This it a land of free speech ; Mr. Davis is therefore entitled to the lull expression of his acnti* ments. These are those simply t f an individual. To hold tho South responsible for them i-i quite an* other matter. That they have been of incalcnlable disadvantage to tho Sonth, there can be no question. That this was without authority or right is manifest. But nevertheless the faot is so; and it is with faots that we have to deal. We know not that we Qftn better present the acnti f sL - ft- IS - - .uwimui iuo oouiuern rrosaon this subjeot than by the subjoined extracts from two of the leading journals of its Democracy. Bars the Richmond Dispatch, in relation to the identification of the South, with the sieged opinions inMr. Davis'speech : w The South Jeff. Deris himself to odqnfet op* people to bolt x -d retuse to support the nominees * the Democratic National Convention, and thus' indirectly assist in electing the Radical candidate to the Pree I * * ?% l t. c ? t * ?, ??.? nwuiu uui oe one r white man in a hnndred who wonld > take his advice. We repeat here i what we said a month or two ago, that ail the delegates from tho | South to the National Convention who would ret use to support a can' didate nominated upon &e WalLer , platform (Vallandigham platform, if yon prefer so to call it) could not induco a single Southern State to holt. The National Convention may adopt this platform and nominate w live " candidates with' the most perfect confidence that, let greuld-be-leaders say and do what u they will, the Southern Conservatives and Democrats will carry their several States for those nominated." So also the Montgomery Advertiser, the central organ of the A1 abaraa Democracy, declares : M It is iue nxea determination of Southern Democrats and Conservatives to commit to Northern and Western men the selection of the Presidential ticket and the writing of the platform for the election of 1872, and that we propose to accept the platform and ticket in pericct good faith. From this time until after the Presidential election, let it therefore be understood that it is for Northern and Western Democrats and anti Radicals to declare what citizens among their own number shall be chosen for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States, and what shall be the character of the resolutions adopted by the Nation al Democratic Convention. ? Of Interest to Fruit Distillers. Wc are requested by Mr. A. L. Conn, Deputy U. S. Collector, toi publish, tor the information of those desiring to engngo in fruit distilling daring the approaching season, the following brief synopsis ot the reqnirements of the internal revenue law in respect to fruit distillers : Before commencing work the distiller mnst register Uie kind and numbor of big stills with the assistant assessor. ana iriv? uuuv,?i. through him, to the assessor of his intention to distill. Blanks for' such registry and notice will bo supplied by the assistant assessor. u pon receipt of the notice the asseesor proceeds to make a survey of the capacity of the distillery, or, in other words, to determine what quantity of brandy the distillery is capable of producing in twentyty four hours. The survey having been completed, the distiller must then execute bond with at least two approved securities?the penal sum ot this bond is fixed by the assessor and must not be less than double the amount of tax on thebrandy that the distillery is capable of producing in thirty dn3*s, and in no case less than five hundred dol lars. Having complied with the foregoing requirements, the distiller can commence work. The following additional requirements must then be observed : The distiller must provide himself with a book, the form ot which has been prescribed by the Com missioner oi Internal Revouue, and mako daily entries in their book of the hours ot running, kind and quantity of material used, number of boilings made, and quantity of singling* produced. It is most important that this book be carefully and accurately kept. Thedistillor mnst also have some place of deposit for bis brandy, until it has been ganged, marked and stamped, this may be any house or building, most suitable for the purpose, and mnst be namty) and described in the notice .given before commencing work. All bran dy should be put into casks of not less than twenty gallons capacity, and transferred to this place ot deposit, and then held nntil gauged, marked and stamped. On or before "the twenty-fifth day of each month the distiller is required to notify the collector of the probable nnmber of packages of brandy he will have on hand at tbe'closeoftho month to be ganged, at which tiino the colleotor will , seud a ganger to gango and mark the same. The ganger having ganged the > brandy will make report of the , same in triplioato, and will hand ' one oopy ot such report to the disi tiller i upon reocipt of this report the distiller will make bis monthly > return on form 15, embracing IhArAin tliA Aiwinnt hnt in liia dia. i tillers* book, and the wino and i proof gallons of brandy as asceri tained by the ganger's report. The brandy produced each month i should be kept and ganged sepattftely, otherwise the distiller, in making' hfti monthly report, will aot snow how rotoph'Jjrandy to return. ... '' " ! ? .iNo brandy can be removed for saldor use until it has jbedn ganged. IfoarktfJ and itamp^. Tbe ganger's fees, which will be about one dollar per barrel, to be paid by tbe distiller. ' Fruit distillers pay the following taxes: 1st. A special tax or license, at the rate ot titty dollars per annum, to be reckoned from the first day of tbe month in which distilling is commenced, to the first day of the month, following ; for example, a fruit distiller beginning any time i in August is aasseesed for nine | I nriAntl>a l- ***** "" >uvu>uo| huiuuui IU fof.ou j Any time in September, eigbt months, amonnt $33.83, and so on. An additional tax of per barrel upon every barrel in excess of the rate of one hundred barrels per annum; none, however, of the 6mall copper stills ft) this District will prouuee a sufficient amount of brandy to make distillers liable to this tax. 2d. A tax of fifty cents per gallon on all proof brandy produced. In addition to this the assessor, on receipt of the distiller's report, by means of the survey above referred to, makes an estimate of the l>r?ndy the distillery should have made during the month. In making this estimato, allowance is made for all stoppages and suspensions, as tho calculation is based upon tho hours the distillery was actually run. If, then, the brandy made during the month is less than eighty per cent, of the capacity thus ascertained, the distiller is assessed upon eighty per cent, of the deficiency at fifty cents per gallon. By careful manage iuciu uuwcver, 11 is oenevea tins deficiency can be avoided. Tlio experience of some of the distillers la6t season may be avcrso to this, but if they will examine into their operations, they will find that their deficiencies were the result of bad management, rather than over-estimated capacities. Many of them would boil their stills only partially filled, and, in many instances, when more than one still was employed, part would be run and the remaining left idle ; then disinters uuuiu, v?j | ' fires, retard boiling, and Un* u llJVs I number of boilings below tbe number they were required to make. By avoiding all these hindrances and drawbacks, at least eighty per cent, of their capacity can bo produced. One great tronble last season was that distillers did not post themselves as to the law, ana in view of this, it is urged upon all expecting to distill from fruit to inako themselves familiar with the above named requirements. They shonld also make applications as early as possible, in order to give ample time for the arrangingof all preliminary papers. , A novel experiment was successfully tried in tho Ilackcnsack Kiver a fow days ago, to recover the body of a man named Ilahn, who had been drowned while bathing. After many nnBuccea-ful efforts with grappling irons and other apparatus, a French Canadian, named Adolph Busche, proceeded to search for the body, and, to this end, provided himself with several glass gal Ion jars and a quantity of unslacked lime. Placing these in a boat, ho rowed to the place where the man was seen to go down for the last time, and there placed his small craft over the exact spot as nearly as possible ; alter which, he filled one of the jars half full of lime, then filled it np with wator and corked it tightly. The next operation was to drop it in the wator, where it soon reached the hot-1 torn, and in a few seconds exnlod- I cd with a lond roport. After which, tho same experiment was repeated with a second jar ; and after if third trial, which wa9 undertaken at a distance apart from the scene of the other two, the body arose, and was secured, the violent explosion in its immediate vicinity on the bottom of the river, and the ascending motion of the liberated gasses having had tho tendency to dislodgo it and carry It with them to the su'tace.

[From tho Salt Lako Tribune.] Politics in XJtah, In Utah there arc two parties only, the Church and the Liberals. The questions involved 111 national *politics do not enter into our contest at all. Utah, as a Territory, bos no voice in national councils, and can cast no vote for Presidential electors. The Territorial delegate may speak in Congress, but cannot vote. Ilcncc there is but little chance of the opponents cf the oligarchy now in power in this Territory dividing into hostile camps on questions of secondary importance, ino aim or me organization is to correct the glaring evils in onr domestic government; to demand and obtain a voice in the councils of the Territory, and to sever an arrogant and irresponsible Church from tho State. The people propose to govern and not to be governed by a handful of pre tensions saints, who claim to rnle by divine right. In a word, the people intend to bring back the government of this Territory from I a theocracy to a Republican form, pure and popular. That is tho mission of the Liberal party, and under its banner all opponents to the Church oligarchy can unite, irrespective of religions or political creeds. There is hero no such dis tinction as Democracy and Republicanism as is known in the States, but all parties arc blended and combined in the one great Liberal party, which, in increasing nnm hers, enters the campaign actcrmined to eventually overthrow its opponents, and taking the reins of power direct the various departments of State, not for the interests and profits of a few men, but for the benefit and good of the entire community.

Vxew? ou Beconstruction. Horace Griwlnv wl>n uB. 1 -m*J ** MV uoo UC13U on a tonr through the South, writes as follows to the Tribnne, from Memphis, Tennessee : That those who 6trnggled and 1 fought for secession generally believe they were right in so doing, I cannot doubt. Jefferson Davit*' late speeches fairly express tlieir average convictions and feelings. But, while they still affirm the i right of Secession, I am satisfied the.t a majority of them belie* evils practical assertion was unwise and inexpedient. They hold that they should have made their late struggle in the Union, not against it? nndcr the flag of onr fathers, not that of the Stars and Bars?in ostensible dofenoe of the Federal Constitution, not in resistance to its authority. They proposo to renew the fight, but not with gun and sabre. They expect to regain as Democrats through elections the power they lost as Kebels through war. They herein evince that wisdom which profits by the lesson of experience. Here and there a hot head may talk of renewing, at some more auspieions season, the strugglo for an independent Confederacy ; bnt the srreat mnioritw I _ - o" ~ w ?* V have bad enough of war. I feel sure that another Southern Secession is all but impossible. That the South is steadily recovering from the calamities and loss es consequent on our late civil war, is very obvious. The process might lie more rapid, but could hardly be more substantial. The cattle and swine which were eaten up during the civil war are being steadily reproduced, and are already twice or t;.rico as numerous ^ as they were six years ago ; lands a?e going back into cultivation, which havo long lain waste and idle ; farm buildings are undergoing renovation ; cities and villages are extending their borders; lactones and furnaces are widely projected, and 6ome arc in process ofj T?. ? ? n~uo? uvuuii, xt were in ational to gSHe&uU1^ *\1J?

Hew Hampshire Progress. Tbe final election of Mr. Gore as Speaker of tbe New Hampshire klouso of Representatives, on Wednesday, and the choice, of a Democratic Clerk and Assistant, | Sergeant at-Arms and Doorkeep ers, of the same political complexion, settled tbe fate of Radicalism within tbe State. The Democratic candidate for Governor aud Railroad Commissioner should chosen in Joint Convention of tho two Houses to day, it bavins been arranged between the equally divided parties in the Senate that the side should organize that branch which organized tho other. The State has, therefore, passed out of Radical hands. The Ring that has so long controlled it surrenders its power from this day. Tho blow of March stunned it so severely that it has not been able to recover its old vigor. There will bo a fresh organization of its forces to carry tho Legislature next year, because a Senatorial election is Cending ; but a-i tho Democrats ave the nine points of actual possession already, the Radicals will have to make a very different fight from any to which they have been challenged this decade and a half _ n * * * oi years. w ith a wise auminietra tion of local affairs, aud a due improvement of the opportunities presented on the eve of a general canvass, the Democrats, will have tho preponderance of chances, and bo ablo to sound tho key-note of the result of the year. This is a thorough revolution which has taken place in the Granite State. The journals of the defeated party affect to regard it as an accident, which another year's care will certainly remedy ; but they forget that the current of progress never sets backward, and that the bare momentum of one Democratic victory goes far to secure another.
