THFE, GREAT REVINUE FEAUD. We yeaterday laid before our readers in de- 1ril the whole history of the fraudsupon the rovenuo by distillers and rectuliers of whisky, as discovered by tho Government officers setiug under o cpecicl Investigation prosa. cuted by Seeratory HBrsTow, of the Lrensury Departmond. This history reveals n striking state of uffairs. It discloses n condition of dishonesty and officinl corruption which must startle the country. It fur excecds in enor- mity the Tvmep frauds, nad the New York ozual robburies recontly exposed, It shows that, sinco 1871 to the present time, this rob- bory of the rovenue hus been going on; that tho ofticers of tho revenus have heen not only aware of tho frauds, but have Leon participants in the profits ; snd thot tho operstors in this wholesalo bnsiness have their agents in all the roveuue oflicos a5 Wash- inglon, Sceretary Bustow was compelied to confine a knowledgu of the iuvestiyation to Col. Wirsox, Solicitor of the Treanwy, and o winglo clerk. 'f'o accomplish enything he had to uvo persons outsido of the public service, aud to keep all correspondence off the files of the Department. When at Inst ho was com- pelled to consult tho Revenuo Ofice, the Whisky Ring was instantly inforned, and sent its agonts to Wushinglon. In telegraph. ing to his agonts he had to nso a cipher.un- koown at Washington, 'Fhe juvestigation discloses that the Burean of Internal Revenue i rotten through and through, and thet it is oillcered by mon in the employ of those who are robbing the Government. 'The See. retary sequits Comuiesioner Dovuraes of all wrong, &avo his unlimitod confidencs in tho dishonest forco he hay organized, not only at Wushingtou but throughout tho country, Tho Becretary of the Troasury daserves tho thanks of the American peoplo for tho brave and ekillful maoner in which ho Les mur- vounded and captured this entire gang of offi- cial and unofficirl robbers of the rovenne. o déserves especinl thanks for tho fearlusy 1nanner in which he has leid baro tho eorrup- tion of one of the branches of the publie sexvies, and cxposed tho workings of o sys- tam of oificinl plunder which has bufled all s predecessors, "Thero are eoveral things which this expo- suve haarovealed, It hanshown that Congecea ‘was overcome, swindled, or corrupted, i the Tegiulation of lnst winter, hy the agouts of tho whisky-mauufacturery, It Loy shown that the Commissionor of Internal Rovenue was Dblinded und bumboozled into tho belief that hio had reducod the collection of revenue to mich perfection that fraud was impossible, when, in fact, the whivky-makers were ope- rting hiv Dopartmnent through their own ngents, and he was unconscious of the fact, The Socrotary’s flt move- ment was o transfer the Bapervisors of Intornal Neveuue from ono district to another, in order to bresk up nny collusion hotween ‘tho existing Supervisors aud the Whisky King, But eo strong wea tho Ring that two Bupervisors were sent to Washington, and there, backed by Sountors and Nepresentatives, the order of transfer wad rovoked by (he Prosident. The power ot the Whisky Ring in Congress nud over tho aversge Congrossman was supremo, nnd tho Becrotary was sctually competled to keop the fuct of his investigation a profound wecrct from all other brauches of tho publis service, and from oll other officors of the Govern- ment, the Prasident alone excepted. It will be romembered that the Beoretary of the Tréasury opposed any increaso In the tax on whisky becauso, mmong other things, it incrensed the margin of profit on whisky when the same was sold with. out payment of tax, The whisky men wont to Washiugton and advocated the iu. creasa of tax from 70 to 00 cents u gallon, conflning the increaso of tax to whisky modo after tho pasunge of the law. The effect of this was 10 havo two kinds of whisky in the market,—that made before tho passage of the now law, and whiclh boro 70 ceuts tax, and that made atter the law, which bore 00 cents tax, This opencd the woy {0 dwo frauds FYrel—The manufaature and sle of wldaky | without the payment of any tas, and by the duplicate and triplicate uso of slamps, - Serond—The mnnfacturo and ralo of now whisky under pretensu that it was mnda be- fore March, 1675, and therefore only benring 70 cents tnx por gallon. In tho ono case the dishonest gnin was £0 conts por gallon and in the other 20 conts n gullon.

This exposure of this whirky frand, and the arrest and prosseution of the criminale, and the prompt dismissal of every ofticer implicated, will do the party im- menee good, 1t will add to its numerical strength, and will goin the confidenco of tho peoplo in the President end his Adwinistra. tion, The eountry is just now keenly sensitive upon two points: (1) Honesty in publie officers, and (¢) tho prompt action of the Administretion in dismissing overy corrupt ofticer. ‘That is a platform upon which the whole country in stonding. No party can, at this time, afford to carry the burden of frauds in any branch of tho Government; no party can livo that intorposes to keep in oflico men who aro plundering tho country and robbing the revenue. Tho Republican party is en- titled to tho eredit of this detection and the exporuroe of this vast and wide-sproad system of fraud in the revenue, and the Ropublican Administration will receive the honor and the public gratitude not only for supprossing the fraudy, bat for the instant dismissal of overy corropt ofticial ongnged in then. THE MURDER OF COL. ANTHORY. In the long und blacdy list of erime which has tilled columus of the newspapers for sov- eral doys past, and which bas been conspica- ous for its horrors, no ringle cnse will nttruot 50 much attention ns thoe killing of Col. . It. Autiiony, the editor of the Leavenworth T¥mer and tho Postmaster of that city, It racells the days of border-rufianism in Kan- eus, and is o stain on the civilization of that State. It was tho result of & mowspaper- quarrel, of which thoro mnay alraost nlways bo found a counterpart in oll citics of the see- oud sizg, not yet emancipated from the tradi- tional personulitics of villugo life. It would be disaslrous indeed if the result of tho Leavenworth quarzel were o aamplo of what might be expocted claowhere. Nowspaper quarrels aro altogether too frequent to per- uit of their being oited in oxtenua- tion of howicide, and wa cannot but regard tho Lilling of Col. Axrnowy as a cold-blooded murder, in tho consideration of which the provious nowspaper articles should be allowed to have no weight whatover, The law pro- vides remedios, both by civil and criminnl process, ilst aro mmple in the wey of rench- ing and puuishing personal injuries by news- paper nrticles, aod there is no pravocation, g o rulo, which should count for so little n extenuation for taking human lifo ns the or- dinary nowspuper utteck. In the case of Col. ANTHONY, howaever, hiy murderer seunus to have been the aggresver from tho beginning, Exany, who killedhio, wes the editor of o rival papor, the Appast, which has rocently Leen charging fraud sud defaleation in tho Post-Oflice, for which Col. AxtmoNr was respon- siblo, "Lheso chargos nppear to have beon Lrought out by a controversy relative to tho ‘Lypogeaphical Union, of the merits of which wa aro not informed. At all ovents, tho Ap- pead went outsido the originnl controversy to print the most serlous chargos sgainst Ax. Tnowy, personslly sud offleially, which wero couchod in tho most abusive langnage. It was evidently Exnny’s intention from the leginning to force a porsonal eucountor, and Lo counted upon Anraony's ot blood to ro- sent tho abuge. Tailing in this, Extcay mada au ossnult on Awrgony Snturday night, and oven kicked him, Notwithstanding this, Avtuony rotrented withont resistance, The orly notice which ho took of the affair was to publich in Sunday’s popor the following no- count of the attack of the night bofora: Tast nlght, W, W, Esmny, editor of tho Appeal, the organ of (ho Printers’ Union, with revalver fn hand, accompanied by Javk Dowstdo, local editor of tho Comnerciu, tollawedt ua fo the theatre, Lotween scla o weut out, Estony and DowNiNg: tollowed us, Wo turnud aud askod i€ they wanted toves us, Downiisg 2aid, “Nol o went Intu tho streat, Eumuy thora nddisaved us, Wo doclisiad all conversation with i, With 1gvolver in haud be followed, usiug tho a0t ine walting langusge, We told Mim wo decifned all oone yarsation with a man who came arined witha rovolver, Wohad told Dawxiva early fn tho evening that wa could not afford suid would not Lave any words with EXoRr or any one of th Printers’ Unlon, The wholo procooding bore unmlatakabla sviidenco of collusion boe tween DowNING cnd Hausar, This man Exuny has, vithin tha past threo days, publishiad the geocicat, muntjmalicloos kad wiltful Lies about vur otlicial acslon, —lies which wera tho puro colusgoof his braln, 'To all thews outragenus anzaults we mado no reply, Hors toforalio had used insulting language, for which lis Lad hwably boyged pardou, and haa slnce maked favors of wy, which wero granted, Iy hote was une dloubtodiy Iatensifiod from that fact, aud bacauso tho Zéuea did uot motlce Lim, Iila brutal, murdorous cuitres was occasfonod by the statotnent Jaada 10 Lis co-convpfrator that wa would Lave no words or street quarrel with him, Exony,or any ons elss, This statement 8 madelat our readsrs may Luow tue means resorted Lo by tho strikers and bullles of the Unlon to guln thelr ends, The would-ba cold-hlooded murderer, and the traitoroun, cowardly ansak who necompaniod b, will ba condemued by evory dscant man, Auruony's atatomont of the case as abova wad derided in the Appeal of Mouday, but fully confirmed in the evening by Emax's shooting ANTHONY in the Opera-Houso as do- serlbed in our dispatches, Col, Antuoxy hay for many years been prominently fden tifiod with Kansas politics, acd was alwoys an in. dependent, outspokon journalist, Ie wasa Lrother of Miss Susan B, Antony, and came prominently bofore the country a few mounths ago by the publieation of an interview in which ho sald that Miss ANrroxy bad told him of Mra, TuroN's confession fo her, sub. stontiolly ae charged by Mr, Trurox in one of his publlo statemente. Though Col. Aurmoxt was of a naturo to male bitter enemics, who havo been fres in charging him with corrnp. tion, it is not likely that thero are any frauds in the Leavenworth Vost-Office for which ha was porsonelly responsible; but whether there nre or not, they can haveno Dearing upon his murder, which was alto. gether cold-blooded aud unjustifiable, The peopla of Leavonworth ean ouly romove tho dingenco put upon them by this affair by bringing Fanry to quick end suminary legal punishmont for his erime, The fivat of tho cmlless sories of complica. tiona that will arise if tho charter of 1872 be confirmed Ly tho courts comes up in tho mntter of the Court-Honso architects. 'The Coriucil now agsumo tho power of nppoint. ing nrchitects, which they havo not undor the old charter, sud hinvo necordingly procooded to clect Mossrs, Taan and Tinezy, The County Cominissioners hiava alveady appoint ed Messta, Laaw, Kiarrg, and Bozeize, Tore 19 & dead-lock. On the cne hand there inn Board of fiftcen County Commissionors which haa full powers over the county's sharo of the Court-Ilouso; on the other land thers is a Board of forty Aldermen wvho claim nbroluto control over the city's share, A joint Court-Houso and City-Iall to ba built under theso circumstances will bea work of oternity, and pass down to fulure generntions 04 an antiquo mosaio of tho present time, It will probably tako reveral years for these two Boards to agree in the initial step of choosing architeets; and, after some compromise shinll intho course of human events and in tho Iapso of ages hava been adopted, romo other Lono of contentlon will arise as to tho dirt from tha oxcavations. Thus from tha very foundation up there will bo ondless dissen. sion and confusion, nnd a very pretty mess will be the final result, It now scems sltogethier probable that the syalls of the Chicago Custowm-louse will have to comn down, 'Thowgh this courso will in- volvo an additionnl outlsy of lhundreds of thousands of dollars and the practical loss of two yenrs' timo, it is botler that tho loss shonld bhe bravely faced now than {o post- pono it and earry swith it still greater Iors by adding to the blunder.

We scareely think that now walls will ever bo commenced withont tho driving of piles, which is dono in 8t, Petersburg in tho crse of all large public buildings, and which ths character of our soil scoms to demsnd in a building of the sizo and woight of the propased Customi-House. Meanwhile, if this work of tearing down nnd rebuilding has to bo commenced, Mr. Ranniv, the ex- Buperintondent, may thenk his stars that ho lives in America, and not under o monarchical form of government, in which he would be wadoa to suifer full punalty for his neglect. ‘The Domocratie party proposes to defend {he frauds in tho ravenus perpeivated by the ‘Whisgky Ring.
