Mr. Davit, the Bouthern Democracy
and their Position.
\yQ liave recently alluded to and
regretted the speech which Mr.
l)avis delivered at Atlanta. 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.

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. On this broad
liberal platform the new party is

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

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

so long controlled it surrenders its
power from this day. Tho blow

that it has not been able to recover
