Mr. IShenck, the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, tbrongh whose in Mtrtitnentality this tax was imposed. represents a district in which are some of tlie largest distilleries in the Uni ted States. A tax of four hundred dollars is nothing for them to pay. These large establishments found that distillation by the tanners was inter fering with their business, and they de-sied it to be slopped. For tho benefit of those wealthy manufactur ers, therefore, the income of thous amis of poor and industrious farmers must be injured. Such is Kadi cul ism. Wil.Journal. THK HROLm FARMER.

Over an area of three hundred miles it rose and sank in undulations. Great fissures burst open, throwing up mad and water to the tops of tho trees. That regiou is still called "tho sack country." in March 1812 the city of Caracas was destroyed by an earthquake, with all its splendid churches, and 12,000 of its inhabitants were Varied iu the ruins. The earthquake of last year, that was so destructive iu the island of St Thomas, is too remembered to require deta 'ed mention. There have been been shocks at various localities ia this country, but not' attended by very marked icsults. Those ages that point, ia grim tri umph toTheir portentous convulsions, by which hecatombs of human be ings were sacrificed, have found a formidable competitor ia this age, which points to one great grave con taining thirty thousand corpses.

The whole num ber of Democratic votes registered in this city last year was perhaps one hundred thousand. Ihe number registered tbn year will probably be one hundred thous and.
