Drunkenness in New Albany.

The editor of the New Albany Ledger, a
bitter anti American paper, says IN late
number OF that sheet:

srnetion of the Prohibitory Liquor Law
What confession for an editor to make, who,
with his party, have been laboring for months
to retard the workings OF this Law and 10
bring with it public condemnation, They
have at last succeeded so far as TO again give
free license TO the retailing of liquor. The
above IS an evidence Of the effects of this sue
cess in New Albany. This whisky editor, in
a brief walk. has counted sirtyJfvc drunken
men and haif .grossR bags, And yet he dares
oppose a law which was honestly intended TO
prevent the spectacle OF even ONE drunken
man on the streets of any town or city IN the
State and which did have the effect ia great
measure to drive drunkenness and all conse-
quent niseries from the State But now. by
the evidence Of an Old Line Editor. what a
terrible condition of things does our sister
city of New Albany present. This single
statement Of what This New Albany editor
saw in brief walk, should forever seal his
lips or dry the ink in his pen. when he feels

Is- Presden; Pierce's Kansas message is
denounced in all quarters where Independence
and manliness is not extinct The New York
Evsaing Post, which supported Pierce for the
Presidency regards the message as piece of
insutfersbe insolence. Il says:
By what authority does this man, who has
got into the Executive chair, presume 10 tell
us who may settle in Kansas, aud who must
say a. home; who may help their nei9hbors
to emigrate, aud who may not? What war
rant has he for occupying the two houses with
his denunciations of those whose only offence
where they have perfect ri ht TO be as
he has 10 be at Washington? Did we elect
him for this?
The Baltimore american, a Southern pa
per. treats the message and its author with
unGisguised contempt. The following is from
the 4 mer can:
We publish the Presidents message on
Kansas affairs rather in Difference to custom
of the press to spread documents before the

MoaE PERKISs.-The manufacturer o!

Attorney for the liquor seller, E,kcb. for The
purpose Of clearing him. which we under

able sum .: eight dollars AMI to keep Judge
Perkins hajeas corpus hand Ii. induced his
client 70 have change Of venue. The case
was sent before the Mayor. Sitlow, being
in custody of the Marshal-the free whisky
lawyer Immediately drew up an application 10
Perkins, the free whisky Jadge, for one OF
his favor:e wIits. The Judge promptly re-
spoaIci. and the day before the trial, the writ
of snatcheme came, commanding the consta-
bic TO bring the dispenser of chronic cases
before him, a; his chambers at Indianapolis,
Immediately il not sooner. Knowing as a
matter of course, what the Judge would do,
the case was compromised. and ElAcib peck
eted the 'thirty pieces OF silver" with evident
satisfaction.
Do your best, gentlemen liquor sellers and
attorney, There as better day coming and
