REMoNsTRANCE AGAINST THE MAINE LAW
The liquor dealers in New York, have des-
patched remonstrance to Albany setting
forth the reasons why the Maine LIQUOR Law
should not be attempted to be forced upon
New York. The proposed law, to that end
is denounced as audacious, INSCRIPTIONS, and
fanatical, and calculated to retard, rather than
advance, even the temperance principle which
it processes to encourage.
Most significant of all, however, the re-
monstrants assure the Legislature that they
are solemny convinced "that such despotiic
and unreasonable law could not be enforced
in the city of New York, except amid scenes
of riot and bloodshed, in which, though its
reckless advocates would be the first and
chief sufferers, vast multitudes of the popu-
lace would be involved, and which would be
too frightful in their results for any but cal
lous fanatics to contemplate without horror
and dismay"

INTERvENTIoN.--An old and very inteli-
gent citizen of Baltimore has handed us a
communication on the subject of the proposed
intervention of the United States in the affairs
of Europe, in which he shows, that such
Intervention is not only contrary to the advice
of Washington and to the settled policy of
the country, but that our interference could
be of no possible benefit to the cause of
Hungary. We omit the publication of this
communication because of its great length,
and from the conviction, that the people of
Maryland are not so Kossuth mad as to sane
ton the pledge desired by him, that our
government will resist any future interference
of Russia in the affairs of Hungary. The
excitement on this subject has vanished in
this State, with the disappearance of NJ.
Kossuth; nor do we suppose that single
Hungarian bond, prepared by the New York
committee to replenish the treasury of Hun
gary, could be sold in Maryland, excepting as
a curiosity. Financiers will look to better
security than these bonds afford; and we think
it likely, that the sum which may be raised by
the sale of them, will not do much more than
nav the expenses of their ISSUE Baltimore
Clipper.

LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE PREss.--A
deputation, consisting of some of the princi
pal editors of the moderate press, was receiv
ed by the President of the Republic in pri-
vate interview, which they hnd requested for
the purpose Of representing the grievances to
which they were exposed by the rigorous
censorship under which the newspapers have
been placed since the revolution Of the Cd of
December. The gentleman who headed the
deputation spoke for fully half an hour and
concluded his speech by, expressing hope
that the President would give some moderate
latitude to the papers to comment upon
passing events. Louis Napoleon listened
with great composure and patience; but his
only answer was the following "Gontlemen,
the press has already destroyed two dynasties;
may fall like the others; but | shall take
care that it shall not be by the press" and
with this he bowed them out.

THE GENERAL BILL.

We learn through the Nashville papers
that the General Internal Improvement Bill
has passed its third reading in the Senate,
with some slight amendments, which the
braces a large number of roads, many of
them important enterprises. 1t has been
sometime charged that the State of Tennes-
see was hestating and Indifferent in extend
ed aid to works of Internal Improvements
there is no ground for any such charge now.
If there is any State in the Union that has
gone farther on the subject at one single
bound, we are not advised of the fact, COW
ering, as this Bill does, enterprises in every
direction, where they would be likely to
prove of the least public utility. 1t does not
follow, however, that because the bill has
passed into law, all enterprises embraced
within its provisions will be built. The State
proposes to furnish the iron and equipments,
when private enterprise shall have graded the
rOad-bed and put down the timbers This
qualification will, We think, keep every thing
safe and straight. AT all events we are glad
the bill has passed into a law, because of the
aid it extends to prominent lines, some of
which at least could not have been built
without it, and because, wepresume, that the
bill could not have been got through if some
of the enterprises of doubtful utility had
been lopped off.

DEATH FROM PUTTING TALLow oNA PM
PLE.-Last week, at Hull, young man nam
ed William Heich, having pimple on his
face that was rather sore, put some tallow on
it one night previous to going to bed; morti-
fication ensued, which ended in his death,
although the affected part was cut away
The candle-stick was brass one, and aquan-
tty of verdigris had formed on the top of it,
but whether modification resulted from that
or from the tallow purely, can hardly be said;
but this painful incident should act as anoth-
or caution against the practice of applying
candle tallow to sores. We have heard of
two or three instances lately where injurious
consequences have followed such use of
tallow, and it is as well the public should
know that some chambers are in the habit of
mixing arsenic in their talow to improve the
appearance of their candles.-- English paper,

THE WING STATE CONVENTION.

On the outside of our paper will be found
the proceedings of the Wing Convention
which assembled at Nashville on the 9th, for
the purpose Of appointing delegates to the
National Convention, the selection of electors
for the State at large, and to give an express
sion of choice of the Wings of Tennessee
for candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. There appears to
have been urge number of delegates in
attendance, and good feeling and harmony is
said to have prevailed throughout The ad-
dress breathcs the right spirit, and the reso-
buttons recommending Willard Fillmore for
President and James C. Jones for Vice Pres
ident, will meet with a hearty response from
the party throughout the State. With such
a ticket there will be no difficulty in carrying
the Tennessee.

James G. Birney, who was the Liberty
candidate for President in 1910 and 1914,
died recently at his residence in Saginaw,
Mich. Although long known rs an ultra
Abolitionst, the New York Tribune express
ses the opinion that he was the voluntary
instrument of greater evil to the cause of
emancipation than any man who has lived
during the last half century. A short time
before his decease he wrote a letter to n
Convention of colored persons in Cincinnati,
recommending colonization in Liberia. Free
dom from political excitement, and more clear,
mature observation of the condition of the
colored people of our country, as well as the
advantages offered by Liberia, had doubtless
changed his sentiments.

CnAYcERY CoURT.---Judge Williams held
this court during the present week, disposing
of the business with his usual promptness
and dispatch. His Honor has very labor
ious Office; too much to require of one man.
We hope that the present Legislature will
carry out the recommendation of the Com
mittees in both houses, and make new Dis
triet in East Tennessee. Courts of Equity
increase in Importance as the country grows
older and more wealthy.

In Washington On. c. on the I'd instant
81 shares of Wilmington and Raleigh Rail
Road Stock sold at auction at $50 per share,
six months credit. The Fayetteville Obser-
yer says, ut is not long since the stock was
sold at $40 per share; within the last few
wears, when it could not have been given
away. The change in its value is owing to
the wise resolution to put the road in first
rate order with heavy iron, and to continue it
into South Carolina by the Manchester
Road"

at Liverpool by telegraph, from London, on
the morning Of the sIiling of the Pacific,
stated that report was quite current in that
city that Napoleon intended to invade Eng
land, and that the Government had ordered
thirty thousand stand Of arms from Birmng-
ham, and sent for twenty-five thousand troops
to London. The Daily News of that city
also says that orders had been sent to recall,
with all possible despatch, to the Coast of
England, the three principal ships of war
stationed in the Tagus.
FRANCE.--The Paris Moniteur publishes
the names of the members of the Senate. NJ.
Baroche is appointed Vice President, and, in

The International informs us that Al Eng
lish gentleman, Mr.. Francis Bonynge, recent
ly from the East Indies, has come to this
country for the purpose of bringing before us
the subject of introducing about twenty of
the most valuable agricultural staples of the
East, among which are the tea, coffee, and
indigo plants. He gives his reasons for be-
lieving that tea and indigo would become ar
ticles of export from this county to an amount
greater than the whole of our present ex-
ports. He says that tea, for which we now
pay from sixty-fve to one hundred cents per
h., may be produced for from two to five
cents, free from the obnoxious adulterations
of the tea we import He has Published a
small volume under the title of 1.-THE Future
Wealth of America" in which his opinions
are fully explained.

THE STATE RoAD.-The Governor has ap-
pointed w. NJ. Wadley Chief Superintend-
ent of the State Road Gen. John A. w.
Sanford, Treasurer, and w. Rutherford,
Esq, Auditor. These appointments we doubt
not have been viewed with general appro-
baton by the public and excited the expecta-
ton of a favorable change in the manage
ment of this important State interest. If
this expectation should not at once be realiz-
ed, it should be attributed to long-continued
Encouragement and neglect under the old
directors and for which the State was partly
responsible in neglectig to make adequate
appropriations. 1t will require weeks and
months to repair and equip the road so as to
render transportation prompt and travel safe
and comfortable. Under the enlightened SUI
pervision If Mr.. Wadley we doubt not order
will soon come out of confusion and this
great thoroughfare become the pride and
boast of every Georgian.-Rome Courier

ARMS FOR HUNGARY --KOssuth has recent
" given practical illustration of the meaning
of his phrase, "Material aid to Hungary" in
one of his speeches at Cleveland, Ohio. lie
said:
GENTLEMEN: You will know my wishes
when tell you that already one hundred and
sixty thousand dollars have been raised in this
country for the Hungarian fund, and but
thirty thousand of it have been realized for my
suffering cause. The rest have been eaten,
drank, and toasted out in costly banquets and
foolish parades, for which have no taste,
and in which | take no pleasure. | have
contracted for 10000 muskets, at So each
$4,000; have made one payment, and have
got Others to make, or lose what has been
paid. If all the money raised could have
been properly expended, my mission would,
ere this, have been ended, and the basis of my
country's liberty secured.
Forty thousand muskets, at two dollars n
piece! Cheap as dirt. 1t strikes us that
some such lot of condemned muskets, sold by
Government at auction, were brought up by
Geo. Law, George Saunders, and others. Are
these muskcts of Kossuth's those of Saunders
and Company! Has Saunders been party
to this magnificent operation in old iron
Forty thousand muskets at two dollars n
piece? Dog cheap. Can't somebody let
Kossuth have park of artillery on the same
terms? Have the Irish Directory any cannon
left over from the revolution in Ireland? We
have got the muskets, and must have the
artillery.--M Y. Herald.

From THE FAR WEsT.--The New Orleans
Picayune of the 4th instant collects the fol-
lowing report of occurrences in the region of
the ella from the San Antonio Ledger:
The Ledger learns that Colonel Summer
Navajo expedition has proved an entire
failure, and that the troops have had to aban-
don Fort Defiance in the Indian country, and
return to the settlements for provisions.
Colonel Emory. on his way to Ell PaSo,
met party of Kioway Indians at Cumanchc
Springs, who had with them some Mexican
prisoners, and near thousand head of ami
mails The Colonel was to leave FL Paso on
the lst ult, for the Primo villages, where he
expected to report TO MIR. Bartlett, Of the
boundary commission.
The Indians drove off all the animals be-
longing to the Pinery, forty miles from I'll
Paso, and compelled those engaged there to
leave. They also drove off forty mules be-
longing to the government.
More extensive discoveries ofgold on the
ella are reported ~
Silver ore of rich quality, and in consider
able quantity, has been discovered in the pine
mountains near Ell Paso. There is no doubt
the mines would afford bountiful yield if
there We're sufficient protection to enable
them to be worked.
The post at the copper mines has been
re-established, and is occupied by one com
pany of infantry and one of Dragons.
French's train is on the way.
Smiths train was to leave Ell Paso on the
first of February.
Considerable Indian signJ were seen, but
no Indians
The mail for FL Paso. which left San
Antonio, has returned, in consequence OF
Lieutenant Brady's mules having stampeded.
The Western Texan says that the troops
stationed on the extreme frontier post, called
Fort Defiance, have returned on foot, their
animals having persisted for want of forage.
Colonel Graham has been replaced by Colonel
Emory in the boundary commission. Ell
Puso is without protection, and the inhabitants
are anxious that the eighth military depart
ment shall be extended to the limits of the
State.

JAMES BUCHANAN ON INTERvENTE0N.---Mr.
Buchanan is just now a prominent candidate
for the nomination of the Democratic Con-
vention for President. 1t has been remarked
that he has kept himself clear of the recent
agitation about foreign Intervention, and
some have expressed doubts as to what are
his opinions on the subject. He is on record.
In the discussion in the Senate, in 1926, on
the Panama Congress, he thus forcibly and
wisely declared himself opposed to that doc
trine:
We have ourselves grown great by stand
ing alone, and pursuing an Independent poll
cy. This path has conducted us to national
happiness and national glory. Let us never
abandon it. 1t is time for us once more to
90 back to first principles and declare to the
world that the policy of Washington has not
grown old. Union at home, and independ-
ence of all foreign nations, ought to be our
political maxims. Let us do good to all ma
tons, but form cntangling alliances with none.
