Ur, who f'nding the atmosphere of their
own homes too hot f,r them, and who
poured down South like birds of prey to
fatten on the people, it is time to turn,
and join hand in hand with the par
pty of progress, of reform and of honesty.
N) specious promises are made by the
Reform party, lies are not a part of their
stock in trade, thieves are not allowed
utinder her bright banners, and rogues
cannot find a place in her ranks, for we
mean ua at we say, and believing that
the God of Justice is on our sile, if the
people n! ii! go to work, all that is said
will be done. The difference is that one
party is composed or led by rogues and
thieves working entirely for their own
good, while the other, the great Uni'n
lb:form Party, is the party of honest
pi inciples, and whose aim is the common
good-the salvation of the State and the
prosperity and happiness of the people.
Mark well the difference.

Out- intormattion was ifrm the editorial col
uns of thre Newberry Herald. Tfhough it
is not a mutter in which our readers are spcs
cia!iv imierested, still for the sake of truth,
we give place to the following communica
ton a(ddreSed by William Sumner, Chair
man of the mantrgers of election, to the
Hleraid.'
The above paragraph, to which was ap
pended Mr. Wmn. Sunmm&rs card, and which
our readers have already seen,appeared in the
Chester Reporter of the 7th instant. We
came very near missing this little paragraph,
owing to the dog days,which doubtless made
us a little careless in our glances through the
columns of our cxch:Inges; and we hav-e but
just casually discovered it, for which
"for the sake of truth,".we are right glad.
As an independent journal, and custodian
of a people's rights atid liberties, we an
nlouced the fact that at the late election
for School Commissioners of this county, at
thec Cour: Ilouse,colored companies of m ilitia
paraded around the election precinct, with
fxed hayonets, and that the bay-onets were
had int requisition at the polls. Who darec
deny i:7'--for the sake of truth."
This is all with which we carc to deal.
We published the local item witbonrt stric
tn-es uponi any one. We admitted Mr. Sum
mer's re.'i of course. Our cohimons are
frely op:en to d!1-most especially to a reply.
Aid while we yiea' ;he broadest catholici:y
o th~e gre:'t prin:cipies-freedom of conb
science, of speech and of the press, antd of rc
lious toler nc, &c.. &c., it does not klow
that we endorse a correspondlent's views.
iiece hravinrg published all that we had to
say in the simple announcemnt of the facts
in thre case. we had done with it, and eren
:r1;lited Mr. Sumamer's cx par-te statement
wthou~t comment.
We qutestion the right of armed men to pa~
rade in tire lie-diate vicinity of arn election
precinct. and fuirthrer challenge the right of
emlyn the bayonet at an ciectionl, urnless
to qac1; a riot of such magrniturde as to have
pased beyon d tihe conItrol of the civil anthro
ritcs. Now, "for the sake of truth," forsooth:,
we say that there was no riot--not even tire
shaow or sembiauce of one ; and the only
excu.>e or sub:crfage that we find int Mr. $um
mt'sr card, is thant "there wvas a general rush
f:o thre celored citizens." D)id tis warrant
their being driven forth at the point of the
branet ?" Wonder what the "loyal freed
rmen" think of' this clever little coup d'etat ?
'Te follow ing appears in Mr. Summer's
i-ard: "' fu impression is given ot that we
b:d the mrilitia cotmp.uttes ordered out to pa
rade. which is entireliy a mistake, and that
here was no cause for calling on tire guard
to preserve order. Now a jurnal shroutld
ive faith furl reports ot what transpires-at
east in tire vicinity of its publication-he
ore i: calls r:ponr the civil~it world to pass

"Imrpressions", nonsense. If the writer of
the merest epigram had mnind enough to see
the varied views of hris many reader", hre
would be astounaded at the complex charac
ter and power of thtat subtle principle
hogtt! And to attempt to guide the im
pressions of a great reading pubhce in its
views of the simplest expressioni, would be
to conrvcrt ail tire phases of temperament
nto one. We arc rnot responsible for every
bdys impressions. A journalist may hur

ress. even wheni a journla|iit farils so to do.
After an implied deelsration that we have tni:
ed the public, Mr. Siuner proceeds togive a
*faiful report." And while we charge no
:ing upon Mr. Suminer, nor any other per
en, we repeat that the card in question is
t parte, ad he:rays tile fact that Mr, Sum
ier h as at nervous disposition wh ieh .reeder s

such requests in law or otherwise.
We have no doubt that miny are deterred
from voting under such circnmstances, and
now is the time for us to determine whether
such things are to he or not. If we are to
go throngh an election let it not be a farce
by havin:such outrages repeated!
Since (thcster has charged upon us, we
trust thit "for the sake of truth", and the
ethics of the press, she will publish the
above.
War Betwean France and Prussia.
France has deci:red war against Prns
sia under the plca of the Hohenzollern
candidature for the Spanish Crown, &c.,
but in fact for the recovery of her
ancient boundaries; and the splendid ar
mies of both empires are wild with en
thusiasm, and evince great eagerness to
measure their genios and valor.
It is believed that France cannot with
draw from her extreme position without
dishonor, unless Prussia should yield
mere than is r igit.
Fo- several years the great European I
powers have been making gigantic pre
parations for wnr, and now France has
370,000 men realy at a moments notice,
nith a reserve of 1,000,000. With the
aid of Austria and South Germany,
France could instar.tly mar:hal 777,000
veterans n ith a contingent of 1,3 G,000
more.
On the other hand, Prussia with the
aid of her allies, could bring to the field
of strife on the nonce 846,000 men, and
have in reserve a force of 1,304,321.
With the many national and interna
tioral questions for solution among the
peoples of Europe-the old political im
broglios and religious schisms-affecting
State as well as Church-border line and
boundary antagonisns, royal family rows
and muortal jealousies, dismembered
States, clamoring to be remapped, coerced
powers chafing to rule themselves, the
active greed of ambitious sovereigns-es
pecially the Czar of Russia, who has
both eyes on Constantinople, &c., &c.,
notwithstanrling the many late popular
concessions-vide the plebiscitun in
France, and the Ukase in Russia, the
suntiering of the concordtt, in Austria,
the Reforms of England, Church rights in
Ireland, &c., &c., we feel p ersuaded
that the con'inent of Europe is as a pow
der tmagazine, and that a little fire of
war would explode the whole fabric of
States in a pyrotechnic of strife that
must be fearful in its lurid glare, dire in
the destruction of life, and unparalleled
in its results.
Is this a speculation? We L'ope so. Will
the nature of the country, the formidable
ch aracter of the machinery and the enormous
forces bronghmt into action, render thue con
test short and decisive, or will aggravated
complications come into play and mako the
war general, bloody and protracted ?
What a state oftalarm, incertitude and pre
paration at the vast centris of Europe. The
moments are great key momen ts each, and
men think and act with maddening inten
sity, and grow grey In a night. What desti
nies hang upon two men--Napoleon and Bis
rnarck! And who is to be the master-spirit?
When the fearful crash comes, and the earth
trembles beneath the awful onset, as up
wards of a million veterans rush together,
who goes under the terrible waves of blood
-and who shall wear a victor's crown that
hath been purchased by the tears of many
nationalities?
Are the vast destruction of human life, and
the making of hundredsor widows and thous
sds of orphans,and the breaking up of comn
mred and trade, and the humiliation of corn
monwealths, &c., &c., a noble record for a
Christian nation ? What say the D)ivine Ora
cles, and what says moral courage ? Is the
Rhine boundary worth all this? Who is the
rightful owner of the disputed territory?
And cannot nations like individuals learn to
relinquish an unjust hold upon a neighbor.
And if they cannot rise to this altitude of
moral conrage, cannot the professedly Chris- 1
tian nations enforce cquity and justice
among themselves without war?
Should the war prove protracted, how wilt
it affect ut. With a large inflow of immi
gr:ion to the North from Europe and a great
otflow of provisions, and a large cotton
rgin the South with but few provisions,
that wC3 thme result be ? No country is truly
>owerful. nortiup to emergencies, which is

NIust we wait until appealed to by thegloomn

As soon as the result of the vote on the ins
allibility dogma was known at the Frencht
ourt, an order went forth for the removal I
f the French troops from Itome; so another
,inestion looms up in the shape of Italianc
wi:iy.
Seegers' Ice Machine.r
We are pleased to learn, not only for
csonal interest but for the sake of our
riend John, who has waited long for it,
lhat the great ice machine, by which lhe

We gather from the \Mountaineer, that
he surviving members of the old Butler I
Guards and others have formned a compa

We copy the followirg from the Spar
tan. It will be seen that this is in keep
ing with the general idea which agita:es
the minds of that large. majotity of
Leaguers who continue poor while the
few get rich on the stealings. The
Spartan supposes that ti:: resolutions in
relation to salaries were passed to silence
the clamors of the hungry ones,and throw
dust in their eye-, and that Fostcr and
Hamilton in the other were thrown out
b ecause they were looking deeper into
their roguerics than was safe. Anyhow
the outcry is rising, and the unfortunate

COxESBURY DISTRICT CONFEnEXCn.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Henry W.
More, Snp't. of the G. C. It. R., a- I of-Mr.
Joseph Crews. Snp't of ::e Laurens II. R.,
members antl visitor :itten.iin. this Confer
ence, which meets in Ncwlhterry on the 27th
inst., will be p:wet over their respective
roads for one fare. Retitrning th-y must
thow: a ctrt.'izie:e ram the 1>,ofercuce Secre
tary.
DnoTrt -M:ar. .cetionis of this district
are now suffering for want of rain, some of
which have had none in over four weeks,
and in consequence corn and cotton are both
liable to be cut off. This drouth is only par
tial however, we are pl:ased to say, for other
sections have enjoyed good seasons all the
while, and the crops are looking splendid.
To TIE COUNTT CoM IssIONER.-At
the request of citizen tax-payers, we urge
that the County Conrissioners of Newberry
publish a statement of their receipts and dis
bursements of public monies, that the people
may know how much has been received and
how it has been appropriated. This is but
right, and such exhibits should always be
made, and .vc hope that the request will not
have to preferred again. We notice that it
has been done elsewhere.
ACCIDENT.-We regret to state that old
Mrs. Davis, wife of Wm. Davis, nearJalapa,
while proceeding to the Tranquil Sabbath
School celebration, fell from the wagon in
which she was riding, and that one of its
large and heavy hind wheels passed over
her back. From a hasty examination it was
hoped that no bones were broken, but as the
old lady suffered great pain, we fear that
some serious internal injury has been sus%
tained. We have heard nothing further
since sha was conveyed back to her home,
and trust that she may soon recover.
We have read the letter of Attorney Gen%
eral Chamberlain in reply to certain strie
tures of the Guardian relative to the Land
Co'nmission Swindles, and apart from a
somewh at modest and prettily-written decla
ration of the innocence of the wrIter, no
fact, proof or evidence is established to ex
honerate him from complicity in the damag,
ing- transacetions. Mr. Attorney-General
Chamberlaiti is the custodian of a people's
funds,and havitig the books under his super
vision, hte should not hesitate one momnt, if
possible. to cloar hi<~ skirts. Ask a few more
questions, Mr. G ta.rdian.
We have received the M~inutes of the One
flundred and Sixty-ninth Session of the
Presbytery of South Carolina, held at Aye
leigh Church, Newberry, S. C , April 1870.
The rainutes together with an interesting ap
pendix make up a neat little pamphtlet of
thity-six pages. The lieports of the various
commIttees are important and edifying to
the general reader. The report on the means
to -increase the efficiency of the Church pre
sents in a brief and earnest manner the great
underlying principle's which enlarge the
bounris of Zion, strengthen its pillars, in
ease its love, purity, zeal and efficiency,
and adorn its outward life. .The Semi-an
nnal Report of the Committee of Domestic
Missions merits a thoughtful reading. The
pamphlet is from the Presbyterian Pub)lish
ng House, Columbia.
Goonao st's FAcvour.--The en terprising
firm of Rt. S. & J. W. Goodgion, of wool
roll carding fame, again presen t th cir annual
crd to the public, ad we are pleased to see
that thev- h ave refurnished their factory and
supplied it with new cards. iheing under
their immediate superintendance, they guar'.
atee satisfaction in all work turned Out by
them and with prompt diespatch. We notice
that they have appointed Mr. A. W. T.
Simmons as their agent for Newberry; and as
that gentleman is no longer at the Depot,
but a: the Hlelcnashops,that the patrons of the
Factery may not be in doubt, we would sug
gest that wool may be left with Mr. WV. Sim
mons, his son at Newhcrry Depot. We add
a complimentary, taken from the Laurens
iercald:
We are gratified to learn, as a sign of en
trpise, thatt our young and enterprising
frierds, the Messrs. Goodgion, arc adding
nw machinery to their Factory, and refitting
genrally, preparing themselves to turn off
work with increased dispatch, and of a su
pr>r quality. Thcy are determined not to
be aitstripped. Success to them, say we.
Fm.-A shed attached t, the brick kitch
en odonnging to, and nsed by D)r. Whaley,
was dise,yrered to be on fire on Tuesday
night, or ra:her about i past one o'clock
Wednesday mninrning last, and the alarm be
ing given, in a ve:y short time a number of
our citizens, white avd colored, were on the
spot to render all possible aid. In the ab
sence of an engine or any other appliance
for subduing this terrible enemy, a few buck
ets only were to be had, but these in willing
and stout hands, together with wet blankets
quicktmy stopped the flames from proceeding
farther than the destruction of the shed in
whici the fire originated. Most fortunately
also the night was very still, scarcely a breath
of air stirred, otherwise the efforts made to
stop its progress would have been futile, and
perhtps much valuable property on main
street would have been destroyed. It is sup
posed to have been the result of accident,
and the loss to Dr. Whalcy in shed, garden,
fencirg and kitchen utensils burnt and bro'.
ken is about S250, perhaps.
We cannot say too much in praise of the
efficint and noble aid rendered by the col
ored citizens, two of whom particulariy at
trctad marked attention, and to whom in a
great measure, are we indebted for the early
stop pit to the fire. Their names we regret
being unable to learn. There were ma
ny others who did their parts manfully, and
to wh>m all praise is given. After the
dange- was over a free treat was given to the
workes by the Council, which was richly
desered and highly appreciated.
(-AP:'ET-P.AGGERS AGAtN AT WoaK.
On Friiay last there was a great gathering
o the :olo)red people in this town, they came
they came to hear something definite. The
old lies-forty acres and a mule, etc.-had'
become stale, they could not put faith in
these kind of promises any longer, and. they
were told to come this one time moie and it
wonld all be right. They came, and met the
strolling, vagabond carpet-baggers and ren
egade incendiaries, who were prepared for
the emergency. Instead of the forty acres,
&c., they are told that they are to be
arbiters of their own fortunes, and that "with
guns upon their shoulders azd bayonets by
their side," &c. We need hardly to repeat
the devilish incendiarisms which are uttered
at these meetings. We are pleased to say
that general dissatisfaction was manifested
by these people; they have borne with these
vile party leaders so long, have relied so car
nestly on their promises, have believed them
so faithful to their interests, that now
they see through them, they have become
thoroughly disgusted. The radical rogue
party are pla-Ing their big trump card now,
but they will find that the game will go
against them. The negro may be duped
time and again, but he has sense enough to
awake some time, and when he does, the
carpet-baggers and the home renegades'
reign will come to an end. That time, we
believe is at hand, and these vagabonds will
find a steady abiding place, from whence
they will not be allowed to go to and fro over
the land stirring up strife. We are pleased
to say further that the day passed off quietly.
Pow wows and caucus;es were held and
much bitterness and bad feeling stirred up
among the many would-be leaders, not a few
of whom have been thrown over board by
the party, and who are now nursing up their
wrath. The cry for office and place and
pickings is making these league meetings
hot places to be in. We have not inquired
who are the ins and who the outs, and take
but little interest in it, but feel that the greed
and ambition will work out some good.
SUNDAT SCHOOL CELEBRATIOr.-The
Sabbath Schools of Tranquil, Beth Eden,
Tabernacle and Trinity Churches uniting, on
invitation of the former, had quite an inter
ing time at Tranquil Church, on Friday last,
the extreme heat of the weather and the ef
fects everywhere visib!e in that neighbor
hood of drouth, together with a doubt as to
the ability of the one little spring to supply
a sufficient quantity of water for the several
hundred people gathered on the old "camp
ground" of Tranquil, alone marring the
wholesale and general enjoymenr. With
these exceptions, the occasion was highly in.
teresting and instructive. The different
Schools were pretty well represented, all of
whom in due time were marched in line to
the Church, and inside to seats near the al
tar, singing an appropriate Sunday School
j hymn while marching. Mr. Jacob Summer,
Superintendent of Tranquil S. S., officiated
in the direction of ceremonies. The Rev. J.
B. Hawkins after invoking the divine bless
ing, in a short and touching prayer, was fol
lowed by Mr. Thos. Mooriman, and Mr.
Kinsler, the latter of Fairfield, each of whom
addressed the large congregation in a happy
manner, and thus together with songs, the
morning passed away till recess for dinner.
We shall say no more of the dinner than
that there was a profusion of it, of the best
kind and greatest variety, but the heat was
too great, an:l the perspiration too generally I
copious to make it an enjoyment. We have
indulged in cold collations under pleasanter
circumstances, and respectfully urge that
pic-nics and celebrations be arranged and
hald in early spring and fall if possible, here,
af'er, and not in mid-summer.
in the afternoon there were otheraddresses,
Mr. Washington Boyd and the Rev. MZr.
Hawkins this time claiming attention, the
whole concluding with the benediction by
Rev. Mr. Cauthen.
One of the most interesting features of
the morning cxerciee was the introduction
of a letter written many years ago, by uncle
,Zaccheus WXright, to one of the first Sunday
School Conventions held in this State, we
believe. The letter was beautifully written,
(but we are sorry to say, badlyv read),
and abounded in passages which showed
that the writer's heart was fall of love for
the Sunday School, and now that the good
old man is dead, no more fitting tribute could
have been paid his memory than the reading
of that letter before the School which was or
ganized by himself and Mr. Absalom Giass
gow, in 1827. Th is latter fact was revealed
by a beautiful banner which bore the inscrip
tion, Tranquil Sabbath School, organized in
1827, by Zacecheus Wright and Absalom
Glasgow. We would like to dwell more at
length on this point, but have neither time
nor space for it. A wot d in addition, how
ever, this Sunday School was one of the first
perhaps organized in this partof the country,
and it is only right and proper that the mem
ory of its founders be enshined in the hearts
of their descendants and the people of Tran
quil.
It would be hard to conceive of a better
mngazine than Demorest's for this month,
with its latest Fashions, first-class Literature,
and high tone generally. It exceeds all our
expectations, and excites our wonder that
lhe should be able to furnish so much for so lit
tIe money', his subscription price being oaly $0
per year, withI a valuable premium worth from
$2 to $10 to each subscriber. We suippose
his being ahle to furnish such large pre
miumns is attributable to his extensive cir
cul:ation. Ad Iress W. Jennings Demorest,

TnE AMERICAN STocK JOURNAL.-The
domestic animals on every farm constitute a'
world of their own, whether reared or han
died for pleasure or profit. As some idea of
the magnitude of the interest involved it
may be stated1 that the money value of the

one-fourth the value of all the lands under
cultivation. To know how to properly care
for this vast interest every farmer should
subscribe for the American Stock Journal; it

To THE .DIToR OF THE E'RALP:
I regret newspaper squibs, as much so a!
any man, in fact I detest it: but in justic<
to myself as well as to the community a
large, I cannot forbear from correcting a
egregious error which Michael Werts has
perhaps ignorantly and unknowingly, falIer
into in regard to the payment of certain o
his taxes. Now I have never wronged an;
man intet,tionally, that I know of, since
have been Treasurer. My aim has been t
exhibit kindness, lenity and courtesy on al
occasions, to accommodate every one, with
out using any power, even if I possessed it
to distress or oppress any one. This
think will be accorded me by every hones
man in the community.
While I say this, I da not presume infal
libility or exemption from error, "to err t
human"; every one, even the best, art
liable to mistakes.
Thc books that I collect from are mad<
out by the County Auditor. My duty is
simply to collect.. A short time back a lisi
of delinquent land tax payers for this Coun
ty appeared in the Herald from S. Mont
gomery, Auditor. Small too in con:parisor
with other Counties, which speaks well fo
the citizens in such trying times, and show,
plainly that the citizens of Newberry are
disposed to do their duty. In that list will
be found the name of M. Werts, also the
name Est. Lucy Stephens for 1000 acres of
land of which M. Werts is Executor.
On the 22d March, 1S70, Michael Werts
appeared at my office and paid for three
persons, as their Guardian-also paid for
one as Executor, which receipt is dated 22d
March, 1870-Township No. 6.-and is
given for personal property amounting to
$1506- which was assessed by David Ring
-there were no assessments on real Estate
last year. The State Taxes on this was
$7.53, County Taxes, $4.51.8, aggregate
$l2.0L.8. This is all the receipt that Mi.
chael Werts holds as Executor from me;
which receipt was given for personal prop.
erty and nothing else, which the books and
his return sworn to will show.
The 1000 acres published lies in Town.
ship No. 8, known as Mendenhall's, is en
tered on the books from the books of last
year-and is unpaid, which Michael Werts
knows as well as I do. He holds no receipt
for this from me. If he has disposed of the
lands it was his duty to have informed me.
It is mine to collect from the name in which
it is entered on the books until I ant other.
wise informed. The transfer must be made
by some one.
I must. say that I cannot see why
Michael Werts failed to report to me about
this land when he settled his Tax. I
leave it to the community to infer.
As regards the Lot held in Helena, I have
nothing to do with it. His name was on
the books charged with a lot. No one told
me to transfer it-and I knew nothing
about it-whether it had been transferred to
Joseph Glenn or any one else. I am no
clairvoyant, prophet or son of a prophet ;
cannot tell what a man does with his prop
ery-to whom he sells or gives-unless I
am informed. My business is to collect.
There is an old Spanish proverb which
says neithe.r "sweet nor bitt.a words butter
parsnips," so likewise neither will a receipt
for $12.04 8 mills for $!508 worth of per
snal property in No. 0 Townshio, pay the
Taxes of 1000) acres of landl lying i Town
sip No. 8, belonging to the Estate of Lucy
Stephents. Any fool will know this.
Mr. Werts may rest assured, unless he
comes up and pays down, the land will be
sold. He knows, also, full well that over a
month ago I mentioned to him lhe was dauc
Txes on the real Estate of Lucy Stephens.
There is no way of getting out Mikoy ex

Tuns NA-rIONAT. DEMOCRACY AND TURE
S'FFRAGE OF TYJE NEGto.-The New
York World says:
"In the forward movement of the
great D)emocratic army, it seems to us
that the D)emocracy of New York arc in
the van, and that the patriotic Democra
y of Kentucky linger in the extreme
rear and refus'e to march without a great
burden of earnp-kettles strung upon
their shouldered muskets or inverted
upon the points of their ihmg staffs.
When the fifteenth amendment was de
lared adop'ted, the Democracy of New
York at o:nce concluded that the negro
uestion was, for any effective political
p'rpose, at an end. Our Democratic
[egislature, then in session, immediately
passed an Act repealing all the State
laws that discriminated against persons
f color; and we carried the State elee
tion which soon followed by an unprece
ented mnajority. We felt some doubt
.hether the Democracy of other States
would immediately approve our course ;
ut there was no dissent anmong our
s:les, and we were willing to trust to
resuts for our vindication elsewhere.
We have since watched Demnocra tic
novements in other States with much
nterest and some solicitude, to see how
ar they were likely to follow our lead.
xcept in Kentucky, we have found no
hing but encouragement. The Demo
ratic party of Ohio has since held a
State Convention, and adopted a plat
orm in which further opposition to
ngro voting was silently withdrawn.
What is more important and significant,
he D)enmocratic Senators and Represe
atives in Congress have recently held a
cnsultation, and issued an address, in
hich not a word is said on the negro
uestion, and the party is counselled to
aste no eflort on dead issues. The
reat body of the party is marching up
o the position taken by the Democracy
f New York, who lead the advance, with
he sitngle exception of Kentucky.
".Even in Kentucky, the Democracy
arc by no means unanimous as to-the ex
>ediency of re-baptizing themselves as a
white man's party' and protracting a
ootless fight against the negro. By far
he ablest Democratic paper in that State
md one of the ablest in the country, the
ourier-Journal, of Louisville, has stead
ly protested against a hide--bound,
bort-sighted policy, which, if the whole
rty adopted it, could result in nothing
ut continued defeat and disaster."
"This democracy, expounded by the
orld, is ours-liberal and progressive"
ays the Pho2nis, and we endorse it very
eartily.

Mr. C. H. -ldwin, Assessor of the
Third South Carolina District, has hand
ed us the following brief synopsis of the
requirements of the internal revenue
law, in respect to fruit distillers, as niodi
fled by tecent replations of the (ommis
sioner of Internal Revenue:
1. They must register theif stills and
give notice of their intention to distill.
The Assitant Assessor Vill fufnish
them with the necessary blanks fur this
purpose.
2. They must execute a bond, tcith at
least two approved securities. The penal
sum of this bond must not be less than
the tax on the brandy that can be dis
tilled_ at the distillery during a period
of thirty days, and in no case less than
$500.
3. They must provide themsclvts wit!t
a book, (prescribed form 25f,) in which
a record must be kept of the hours of
running, material used, number of boil
ings made and quantity of brandy dis
tilled. From this book, monthly re
ports must be made to the Assistant As
sessor.
4. They must have a place of deposit.
for their brandy (which may be any
house- or building near the distillery,)
and all brandy made must be put i'nte
casks, holding not less than ten galloni;
and placed in said building, until the
same is gauged and the tax paid there
r on.
5. On or before the 25th of next montll
the distiller will notify the Colector of
the probable number of packages he will
have on hand to be gauged at the end of
the month ; at which time the Collectes
will. order the gauger to gauge and marl
the same. The gauger's fees, which will
be about $1 per cask, must be paid by
the distiller.
Fruit distillers pay the following tar
es:
- 1. A special tax, or license, at the rate'
of $50 per annum, to be estimated frotn
the first day of the month in which dis
tilling is begun to the first day of Say
following and, iu addition, a tax of $
per barrel on every barrel of brandy pro"
duced in excess of the rate of100 bar-'
rels per annum.
In addition to the above requirements.
the Assesso', upon receipt of the dis
tiller's notice, proceeds, at the expense"
of the govet nment,. to make a survey of
the capaci.ty of his distillery, which fixes
the producing capacity of the distillery
at so many gallons for every twentyL,
four hours. Then, at the end of eacl *
month, the Assessor ascertains from the
reports of the distiller the exact number
of hours the distillery was run during
the month,.allowing for all stoppages and
sespensions, and thus, by means- of th
survey, estimates the capacity of the
d&rrilcry for the month.
f t-he actoal quanity produced is less
rhan eighty per cent oftbis capacity, the
distiller ii assessed for the deficiency at
the rate of. ifty cents per gallon. The
dikiler,. however,. by skillful manage
ment can always avoid this deft'iene or
ma-'e it so small as to be of no considerar
tion.
Pbrties intending to engage- in fruit
distillery should give notice to the As
tistant Assessor, as soon as possible, so
as to give amplo time for effecting all
preliminary arrangements with that
office.
