A SUBJECT FOR LEGISLATORS.

1t is beautiful theory, and fact, that
our system Of polity rests on the basis Of
the public will. At the ballot boxes the
people designate those who shall represent
them at the national Capitol. While we
look at the several branches Of the Govern
ment, we cannot but admire the system,
combined in the Constitution, so well cal
culated to bestow peace, happiness, and
prosperity on the twenty millions of our
countrymen. But, while we express our
love for the system, and do not question
that the agents selected are true to their po-
litical trust, we nevertheless claim that
every thing that has tendency to blunt
their feelings of patriotism, and render inef-
fcient their talents, should be discarded.
Whether temptations are presented at par
ties or at balls, or on the premises Of the
Council House itself, the deceitful "looks
and fumes" of intoxicating drinks should
be secuted by the lovers of virtue-those
who entertain even respect for the constitu-
ency whom they represent. 1t is not true
that the people, en- masse, would tolerate, for
moment, liquor establishments in the
Capitol, in the basement stories, kept warm
and comfortable by the wood and coal pur-
chased with the money of the Government!
They would, perhaps, tolerate the vending
Of oysters and beetsteaks for these would
be grateful to the appettes Of the members
during long daily sessions. They, how
ever, would not care that sober men whom
they send to transact the public business,
should return home drunkards
Some few Of the former members have
had, we know, a bad opinion of the citi-
zens of Washington they regard this as a
bad and dissipated place If it is so, what
is the cause Did those cynics contribute
to the healtEfulness of the municipal pulses
On the contrary, they refused to abolish
the farerns IN the Capitol The House
once, it is true, passed a resolution for this
purpose, and the fact was Immediately
sent abroad, but the Senate laid the resolu-
ton on the table, and there it sleeps. We
call upon the present members Of Congress-
to come forward, like men, and phlanthro-
pists, and show to the Union, and to the
world, that they are not unmindful of their
duty--and abolish any and every sort Of

Mr.. EDITOR: Can you tell me who thai
genteely dressed person was that was tum

principal hotels, beastly drunk, on Monday
night about O'Clock? Really, felt sorry
for him. II it had not been for some colored
hackmenS he must have smo,heted III the
snow and water. Some said he was from
Texas. He put me in mind of four persons
(not much better as it respects inloxication) in
a slay last Saturday night, with driver about
as drunk as themselves, galloping down Penn
sylvania avenue, screaming like SO many wild
beasts, they ran full tilt against aiothef slay.
The consequence was the cast a,cay of both
parties. One Of these young men is the son
Of respectable citizeh, ahd If He Keeps the.

MIR. EDIToR: Perceiving that but few
Of our grocers, who have either bahished
or not permitted alcohol to polute their
stores, have availed themselves of the OPP
portunity which the Fountain offers Of
making known who they are, or where
they are, ! have thought that by giving
them notice gratis, they may be induced
to let the temperance people know what
they have for sale, through your advertis-
ing columns.
! will first notice the oldest temperance
grocery in the city--Mr. Wannall, on the
corner Of 9th and streets Mr. Holmes,
9Th street; Messrs. Holland s. Lewis, next
door to Mr.. Clagett's, Pennsylvania ave-
nue.; Presley Simpson, near the corner Of
llth street, Penn. avenue; G. L. Gillchrist,
9TH street, near the Odd-FelIow Hall
and T. G. Duckworth, corner Of 9TH and
4 streets besides number of others in
different parts Of the city, whose exact.Io-
cality don't remember at this time.
It is the duty Of temperance people to
support the Temperance Press, Temperance
Grocers, and Temperance men, in every
situation Of life, in preference to those who
aid and abet intemperance, by supplying
the means Of perpetuating this evil amongst
us. And temperance men and women
should remember that those Grocers who
exclude the poison from their stores, make
sacrifices for the good Of the cause and Of
the community, and ought to receive the
support Of the Temperance community.

Mr.. EDIToR: | have wished for long
time an opportunity to say something to
parents about the manner in which many
of them are raising their children. II is, or
has been, supposed that parent who has
the welfare Of his child at heart, will do
every thing in his or her power to advance
the interests of their children 1t is set
tied principle, that like causes will inevita-
bly, produce like effects. Go to our jails
and penitentiaries and ask the youthful
convict what brought you here? where did
you form the habits which have resulted in
your ruin and he will tell you, when a
child, my parents let me 60 out at nights |;
| fell into the company Of bad boys we
congregated at the different corners of
streets, much to the annoyance of the neigh
bors, and, led on by the older boys, would
insult females and assault inoffensive color
ed people, sometimes take handkerchief
off a colored woman's neck, smoke cigars,
tell stories, not always the most decent,
curse and swear, make use of obscene Ian
guage, lay plans to annoy the neighbors,
form bands to fight and steal, and occasion
ally drink liquor. These were my night
schools, and probably my parents would be
at church, thinking they were first rate
CHRISTIANS What can parents be think
ing about who permit their children to fol-
low this conduct and that there are such
parents cannot be denied. Look at the cor
ners of your streets, even these cold damp
nights, and what do you see children from
the age of eight or ten to sixteen there you
may see the merchants son herding with
the most degraded. 1t is strange that pa
rent will let his child keep company with
characters that he would not be seen with
himself, yet he might not be contaminated
with.the society that will ruin his child. But
parents will say, what are we to do with
our boyss Keep them in the house at
night, purchase books for them, take the
Fountain, or some other paper that advo-
Gates morality, make home agreeable to
them, allow them some amusement in the
house, they may make little noise, and
disturb you little, but, depend upon IL, il
you let them run the streets, the rafting o
the chains in the felon's cell will disturb
you more. But some good mother will say
there is no danger of my boy meeting with
such fate. But all experience tells you
that there is danger. Look around you
