Old Line Folly.

We published yesterday a brief account
of the disgracelul affair at Jasper short
time since, in which a pack of Old Liners
headed by the notorious Ben Edmonson,
hung Gov. Wright and Senator Hawthorne
in efigy, for their support of the Prohibitory
Liquor Law. We learn that these precious
representatives of Old Line Democracy took
the efigies into groggery and arraigned
them before the bar of public opinion. Oh
course the mob, for it could not be called
anything else, had supported their principles
enough to be gloriously fuddled. The eff.
gies were asked to take drink. Men stand
ing behind them would shake the heads OF
the efigies. Finally, on their obstinate re-
fusal to make the same kind of beasts OF
themselves which the stuffed clothes around
them did, one of the orators made speech
to them, and pointed out the errors of their
weys, Sc:
THAT won't do" cried out Ben Edmonsou
-"carse them"
And curse them did the orator, and no
doubt in style that made the old devil him.
self envious if he heard the choice selection
of oaths. After this the edigies were taken
out and hung. and thus enlightened public in.
dignation was appeased.. Ben Edmonsou il
known and recognized in Southern Indian,
az an Old Line leader. He was Presiden
OF the District Convention which nominated
Hon. smith Miller tor reelection to Con
gress' and was at the time SO tight he coult
scarcely stand up. Being a perambulatine
whiskey cask, no wonder he is Indignant
at law which prevents him keeping tina
cask filled to its full extent. according 10 hi,
usual custom.
