The Look Notices appear on the eighth page. We print on the second, third, and fourth vages of this morning’s paper Mr. Wells's Tariff Bill, as presented on Thursday to the House. No document has for a long time been before the public that will attract greater attention. The fortheoming report of the Croton Aque- duct Department contains many interesting facts, some of which we are enabled to” fore our readers this moming. It is inten le to increase the supply of water for the ¢ the capacity of the Aqueduct, when finished, being estimated at 431,273,000 cubio feet, or g ol of 1562 as enlarges the pardoning power of the President was passed yesterday by the Senate—Yeas, 27; Nays, 7 This is the bill which the Ilouse passed on the first day of its session. The difference on this question is not to be taken, we trust, as a measure of the promptness hereafter to be shown by the Sen in important legislation. Superintendent Kenn “dy has just issued an important order resuming in full force the Po- lice powers over the subject of illegal rum- selling, which were quieted for a time by the Cardozo decision and others. Notice is thus given to every unlicensed dealer in liquors that the law will be rigidly and vigilantly maintained. We congratulate the public. The order of Mr. Kennedy is as important as any measure of the Health Board against the pestilence. e - The French papers publish the report on the financial situation of the comntry addressed by Mr. Fould, the Miuister of Finance, to the Em- peror. 1t embraces the Budgets of the years 1865, 1866, 1867, and 1868, As is usual with the French state papers, the report is distingnished for brilliancy of style, and will not fail to find millions of readers. It is, however, sharply criticised by all the ingependent papers of France, which particularly point to Fould's discussion of the army reorganization plan as though it were but an insignificant item. This plan continues to cause the most profound excitement throughout the country. The most prominent supporters of the Imperial policy vie with the Liberals in “opposing it, and prediet disastrons consequences if the Gov- ernment should insist on carrying it through. The House of Representatives last Summer called upon the Secretary of War for a state- ment of the sums expended for the “suppres- “gion of Indian hostilities” during the years 1864 and 1865, and Mr. Stanton has recgntly sub- mitted a report in compliance with their de- mwand. From this exhilarating docu- ment we learn that the disburse- ments in 1864 amounted to §9,774,785 69, and in 1865 to $20,756,157 24; or in round num- bers, thirty millions and a half in two years. | Add to this suug litde sum a trifle more than eight millions expended during the same period in anunuities and similar contriv- ances for bribing Indians to keep the peace, and you have a tolerable idea of the cost, in Government money, of keeping nup our present Indian system. But the cost in Gov- ernment money is probably the least part of the expense. The animals driven off, the crops and settlements destroyed, and the emigrants mur- dered by the savages, must also be reck- oned, and of these we have no ac- curate acconnt. Or, look at the matter in —}nnut)wr light. The operation of “suppressing” Indian hostilities has cost the red men about 500 lives in two years; so that the expense of killing each savage is a little over 61,000, We certainly pay liberally enough for the work to have it well done. Can’t the House of Rep- resentatives find out why it is done so badly? —_— o o All accounts from Europe agree that affairs in the Danubian Principalities are assuming a most formidable aspect for the Turkish Government. When the newv Hospodar of Roumania had ob- tained a compliance with all bis demands (which amount to a virtual recognition of the inde- pendence of his State, the Prince of Servia at once m:'ndo the same demands) and, in parti-u- lar, insisted on the evacuation of the Servian fortresses by Turkish troops. Recently, the President of the Servian Senate paid a visit to Vienna to confer with the Austrian Ministry. We are credibly _in- formed that the Servians, in order to secure their independence, desire to unite with the Roumanians in a “Danubian Confedera- “tion,” and that Baron Beust expressed great sympathy with this plan. This would indicate a great change in the foreign policy of Aus- tria, which was formerly charged with being “more Turkish than the Turks.,” A recent cable dispatch informs us that the Servian Question is becoming very threatening. To appre- ciate the importance of the movements going on in that guarter, it is well to remember that, although the Principality of Servia numbers only a million of inhabitants, the number of Serbs in European Turkey amounts altogether to 4,000,000, and a union of Rouma- nians and Serbs would mean the proposed es- tablishment of a Christian Confederation of about 8,000,000 of iubabitangs. It may be re- #arded as certain that Turkey, without forcign aid, will be unable to prevent the success of this scheme, which would be another step— and probably the most important yet taken— foward the speedy disintegration of the Otto- man Ewmpire, ————— Arkansas has been Laving an fntervie the President.

But what cares Mr. Johnson for that, compared with “my policy 7 We have also a dispatch stating that the d legation from the Republican State Convention of Arkansas I3 on its way to Washington to lay before Con- gress the memorial of the loyal people of the State for an Enabling Act. They repre- sent not less than 10,000 voters, and they utter the voice of those to whom the North will listen as the trne Arkansas. On the whole, we don’t think Mr. Hunter’s Rebel delegates will take much by their motion. THE NATIONAL REVENUE. 1f any one conecives that we are to meet without exaction of some kind the demands of an unprecedented national debt, this too while the business of the country is floated by an irredeemable paper currency, wo have only to say that he is mistaken. So, if the complaints and seraples of Mr. Commissioner Wells could be briefly solved, they would mainly amount to this: that our debt is large, and in some way we are taxed heavily to pay it; but, on the other hand, it is because our currency is inflated that our taxes are so great burdens. Granted that cerfain rates of tariff and internal taxation may be misapplied, the force of Mr. Wells's objee- tions is still against the currer Three causes he gives for our present embarrassments: first, the searcity of labor; second, an irredcemable currency; third, the burden of national taxes, But, by the drift of his general argnment, all these canses appear to merge and unite in the fact that our currency is bad; because, in the’ first place, our debt is great, nd in the see- ond, because, however much our people have been taxed difeetly aud indivectly, and how- ever vast the amount of gold taken from com- meree to feed the Treasury, no part of our revenue has yet been applied to redemption. Where, then, does the fault lie? Not es tially in the amount of our 1« s, for cording to Commissioner Wells, they yield us more than we want. For instance: internal tax- ation in the last fiscal year netted us over 510, 906,084, and by customs the receipts were over £179,046,630 in gold, which, in eurrency, would make the total amount of revenue, by various forms of taxation, $561,572,266, Commissioner’s own figur and hence he ad- duces that we have enongh and to spare. Judging merely from a revenue point of view, the coun- try is prosperous as it never was before. But what are we doing with our aceumulating sur- plus? Granted that our people are, in some respects, sensibly burdened with their taxes, would these burdens be half so much felt if the difference between enrrency and gold were their shoulders, or, in other words, if we flxht speedily employed our sur- plus for redemption? Mr. Wells' lrewd analysis of the influence of the currency on prices deserves attention. First, there is an inerease in prices proportiou- al to the difference between gold and silver; second, the dealer's insurance against fluctua- tion ; third, the advantage taken of the gene- ral unsettling of values to advance prices to | die endurance. | a degree limited only by j We are pleased with Mr. Wells's admission that the currency can be cured far more ensily than it can be endured. If hie complains too loudly of our taxes, we must sefer him to the cur- rency. If he complains of the curren- ey, we must refer him to Washington. | But we Leartily agree with him and Webster, that “of all the contri- “vances for cheating the laboring classes of | “mankind, none has been found more effeetual “than that which deludes them with an irre- | " Apply this solvent | truth to Mr. Wells's scraples concerning taxa- | “ deemable paper eurrency tion, and it will be plain that, however well or ill be the application of ce features of tax and tariff, our duty is to resume, With eflicient collection, we should now be deriving €80,000,000 from the tax on distilled liquors. As it is, we reccive but a small frae- tion more than a quarter of the amount. The Commissioner recommends that Supervisors of Revenune be appointed over the Tnspectors, and that the tax be reduced to 81 for the sake of a more ensy eollection of a larger revenue. It is notorious that the Whisky tax is greatly evaded ; but the fault is perbaps as much in the partisan character of appointments and removal of subordinate revenue agents as in anything else. The cotton tax of three cents per pound seems to the Commissioner quite suf- ficient, and he says: “The tax may be collected “for oup or two years, or until the aggregate “crop of the world shall yicld a surplus of “cotton, with less injury to the production of “cotton in the UnitedaStates than the collee- “tion of an equal amount of revenue would “cause if imposcd upon other branches of in- “dustry.? - There appears to be no reason in the Com- missioner’s mind for an extensive change of the tariff, from a revenue point of view. This, he thinks, as we do, must be sought for in the necessities of our industrial interests; but Mr. Wells is far from apppreciating fully the weight of the arguments for protection, 1f the people are to be benefited by reductions in certain articles of consumption wherein thero can be no rivalry, the least that can be de- manded is that such a change shall inure to protect our home interests. Tax us less for necessities, if Mr, Wells will; but give us more tariff for protection. Lighten the load of our internal taxes, but be sure that our internal interests are fostered, multi- plied, and enriched by a wise and timely defense ngainst forelgn free trado. In other words, insure us something like free trade among oursclves, and save us from being the slaves of middle-men and importers, and from living in the guploy gqud at the will of foreign commerce. To improve our currency we want protection. If Mr. Wells believes that some of our tariff rates sweep the merchants’ profits into the pockets of the Government, and offer a premium to the foreign producer, he knows that others have unquestionably helpéd to build up our domektic manufacture. However much he complains, he cannot help drawing an inference favorable to protection; and so do :mw;:‘l’ect,‘ lmlmm:n\ly tries to make a | we. or the machinery which he | Here it {s remarkablo that Mr. Wells notes calls o State Government. The party go- | erest activity of busines M-munn:lnn:o These ave the | lnfi've; the large increase of mining and manu- facturing establishments, including those for cot- invention and machinery ; the continued increase of foreign immigration and demand for skilled labor. But he dwells with great seriousness on the contrary averments, that prices are oppressive and exceed the wages of labor; that labor, especially skilled labor, is scarce; that more 3 ted; and that of production manufaciarers there Tus been dec and ¢ nsumption, and a 1l suspension of {our 1 ional deve opment. In Massachusetts, for i (ance, a sialler number of hands are [emplo; e than in the year 1855 ; but he does not tell us that a greater nugaber are employed elsewhere and in other industries, and pays, it | would seem, indifferent attention to the unset-" {lements and rosettlements effected by the war. Massachusetts, let it be obscrved, does not T e more immigrants than other States, but it probably sends out more emigrants of a valuable class. The first part of Mr. Wells's statement may bo employed to meet the oth but on this point we e not time to dwell. Suflice it that, if the condition of our currency lias occasioned the searcity of labor, while immi- gration is greater than in any former ycar, {lere is every-reason why we should resume. 1t is plain from Mr. Wells's showing that our manufactories have increased, and that new industries have called new hands to work. The prospect is not, therefore, so hopeless that a high tariff, a wise distribution of our taxcs, and an early resumption, would not dissipate | the evils dreaded. The Commissioner’s general conclusion on the subjeet of tariff is that the duty on raw materials should be reduced within the mini- mum of the necessities of the Treasury. The duty on Canadian lumber might be reduced, he thinks, with great benefit to the ecountry, since its only effect has been to increase the price of lumber. On the great woolen interest, he holds that the wool-ggower will be best benefited by favoring the manufactur and after showing to his own satisfaction that the present depression in the wool trade is owing in great measure to cotton, he favors a reduction of the duties on combing wool. This will be agreeable to the manufacturer. Finally, he favors such a reduction on raw materials as the revenue can bear. On - these points much remains to be said. For the pres- ent, we dismiss the Commissioner’s report with the comment that it is elaborate, if not satis- factory, and supplies great store of facts, if not always of sound argument. e How THE SOUTH STANDS. We are sorry for the Sonthern States. Their people may f more keenly than we of the Nortl, but cannot regret more sincerely, the wretched condition to which they have been reduced by the war. But great as their trials are, there is one blessing for which they would be thankiu), if they could be taught to under- stand it. Th Lave been depressed by the | failare of the Rebellion; had it suceceded, they would have been ruined. Even if we could believe that the majority of the Southern people—of course including the freedmen, who should ne be omitted from t tegory—quietly rejoice that the | Rebellion failed, we know that the politiciuns bitterly lnment it. The bleasing w. forced npon | them, and they accept it with reluctance. To s, | the greatest misfortune of the South is the con- t trol of her Legislatures which theso men have obtained. They repeat in 1866 the blunder L of 1860, The boundless ignorance of forces | and resonrces which led them into war against the United States has scarcely been lessened, | and takes a new form in stubborn resistance to | inevitable results, A Napoleon or a Bismarck might save the Southern States from the penal- ties of rebellion, but not from the resuits of revolution; it is not even in the power of the North to extinguish the social and political reforms which began with the aboli- tion of Slavery. They have passed beyond the jurisdiction of Presidents or Congresses, and [ must go on to their appointed ends. “ Who ghall be wiser than God, stronger than destiny " 'he Southern Legislatures vainly reject the terms of Congress, and denouncé the main | principles of the Constitutional Amendment as | insulting. That which is good in that measuro must become a part of the Constitution, and {the North, even if it desired, could not pre- vent it, Rather than accept these terms, the Gov- ernors and Legislatures of the South declare their readiness to stay ont of Congress inde initely. The presiding officers of the Georgia l Assembly prefer Territorial Government to the ! Amendment, and many of the influential jour- | nals sustain them. The Loyal States they say | have offered nothing fit for Rebels to accept. On their part, with commendable good taste, they have declined to propose any plan of re- construction, unless weo except Gov, Worth's ironical recommendation that Congressshould dis- tribute the frecdmen among the Northern States, or the suggestion that a National Con- vention should be held to supersedo Congress, But these are unimportant exceptions, and do not change the fact that the Rebel States have adopted a do-nothing, accept-nothipg policy, and, professing to have no voice in the matter, expeet to tire the loyal people into.nequies- cence in their original demand for representa- tion without any conditions, and irresponsible control over the future of the blacks. Prob- ably we can stand it as long as they can, . SILK MANUFACTURE. A Puris newspaper, specu’«ting on the char- of the show the United States will make in the great Exposition, dreams a free-trade dremn quite rose-colored and rose-scented: “America 18 a country essentially agricultural, “and her produce 18 most advantageously dis- “posed of by being sent to Europe in general, “and France in partienlar, for consumption as | “food, or for manufycturing fabrics. America “does not, or will not, attempt to compete with “us as o manufacturing country. Unlike “England and Germany, she s not to be feared “as a rival in industrial operations; she will “continue, ns at present, to send us her raw “produce, and to take from us in return onr “manunfactured goods, our articles of luxury “and elegance, and our wines.” . While this free-trade Gallio dreamer thus dreamed, there were In the City of Lyons silk manufacturers who looked each other squarely in the face and confessod, “ailk dress-goods “are made in New-Jersey and Pennsylvania “that are strovger and better than those we “weave for the geperal market.” And thatisthe fact: and it only required last June that the disa- bilities with which the infant silk manufacture of this country was threatened, should have been warded off by such a tariff as the House of Representatives framed and passed, to put that most interesting industry strongly on its feet. Indeed, the pnssage of that bill would have started the loom that in time would have surely woven for our country comple independ- ence of France for its supply of dress and other gillk. But what i tho pregent coudition of {on and iron ; our great progress in labor-saving TURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1867.—WITH SUPPLEMENT, the Amerlmnuilkmnnn}uturei There is a sad answer fo this question in the following letter from Paterson, N. J.: “In this city alone there “aro employed in silk spinning and manufac- “turing over 3,000 hands and £3,220,000 of “capite]. The establishments, when fully em- “ ployed, will turn ont every month $446,000 “worth of goods. DBut what are they doing ?

And there was an older con- tract between the Government and the workingmen--that when they found labor to do that would sapport them and add to the national wealth, the Government would see that strangers did not come and drive them away from it, and send them ofl' to sit down idle, This contract with the Pater- son silk spinners and weavers has been broken.
