terday afternoon. Pennsylvania avenue, and
indeed every other street of Washington, was
deserted from noon until night by all who could
possibly avoid showing their noses in them.
The atmosphere was cold for the, season as well
as drenching. Of course almost all business in
the city, requiring persons to be out On about,
was suspended. Every one in trade in Wash
ing;on were thus caused to feel the effect of the
weather. Indeed, yesterday was the blucst day
experienced here since Jack Frost was last with
US and in the height o: his glory. To us the
storm felt like one of the fall, rather than mid.
summer Tn the whole, the day was one in
winch persons disposed to study over the very
oczt way OF draining the streets of Washington
had better opportunity to note the course and
volume OF floods from sudden storms here, than
any other we remember to have experienced

Ed- The editor ofthc Democrat makes
bad work, explaining how it came to state
that We were doing fat jobs of printing
for the State. In his anxiety to say
something to injurc us, he probably got
confused and mixed up things consider
ably. We have neither had, nor at any
time expected to have, dollar'sworth Of
printing from the State. The office
which We have, and which troubles him
so much, was rendered to us BY the unan-
imous vote of our friends in legislative
caucus and afterwards ratified by an cleo
ton by the Legislature. We have been
engaged in its duties for now nearly four
months, laboring with our colleagues in
attending to the publication Of the revised
statutes, preparing indexes thereto, and
other matter connected with their publ
cation. Whatever pay We may receive
for the service WILDE fairly earned, as the
office is one Of labor. and not mere
sinecurc, such as the editor Of the Demo-
crat enjoys as collector of the port Of
Saco. If there is any body who has fat
jobs of printing to bcstow, If they will
give them to us, we will execute them in
the best manner. We should not even
object to doing work for the State.

The issue Gradually Coming.

At the Southern Commercial Convcn-
ton recently in session at Knoxville, Tenn,
the following resolutions touching the re-
opening of the African Slave trade were
adopted after the most thorough aud de.
liberatc discussion. \ motion to lay
them on the table was negatived by n vote
of 90 TO ~:
Resoired, That in the opinion Of this
Convention the eighth article Of the treaty
Of Washington, ratified on the 10Th OF Mo-
vember, 1912, ought TO be anulled under tho
provision of the first clause Of the eleventh
article Of said treaty.
Resolced, That copy Of the above res
olution be sent, by the President Of the
Convention, to the Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress from e,ch State hero rep
resented, with the request that il be laid be.
fore the legislatures OF their respective States
for Their consideration.
The eighth article referred to in the
first resolve provides for the keeping ola
squadron on the coast OF Africa for the
suppression OF the slave trade: and the
eleventh article provides that af.er five
years from the ratification of this treaty,
it shall continue in force until one or the
other OF the parties shall signify wish
TO terminate il. The significance OF this
action therefore, is that the Southern
democracy" Qor the leaders OF that par
" guide and control NIL these so-callcd
Commercial Conycntions,) have formal.
" adopted such incipicnt measures as
must inevitably tend TO the rc-opcning Of
the slave trade with the horror Of its
"middic passage" and other attendant
and inscpamblc barbarities. 1T this rate
OF progress, how long will il be before
this measure will become par, and parcel
of the National Democratic creed IL
will no; require half the effort TO incor.
poratc it in the Charleston platform Of
1850, that it did to procure the rcpea OF
the Missouri Compromise III 1854; and
since the democratic party has become
80 thoroughly dcbauchcd by the adoption
and approval of that iniluity, all other
political measures OF like guilt and piracy
can be far more readily and easily accom-
plishcd by the Southern leaders and pro-
pacandists.-Portiand advertiser.

The Temperance Question.

The subjoincd article is taken from the
Maine Evangelist, religious paper pub
lished at Lewiston Falls, and con-
Quoted with ability, candor and conscien-
tiousness. We do not desire to suppress
the fact that there is some difference Of
opinion among temperance men as to
what course should be adopted in refer
encc to future legislation to check the
spread of intemperance. We believe how
ever, that vast majority Of the friends
Of the cause in the State, are satisfied that
such q policy as is indicated in the Evan.
gclist is the correct one. The considera-
tons urged are such as appeal with great
force to the wisdom ofthe people. Some
thing must be done to avert the swelling
tide of intemperance, but whatever it may
b., and it can take no form but that of
prohibition, let it have the unmistakable
sanction OF the people. In this way alone
can we put down the cavaliers, and silence
opposition to the execution ofany prohib-
itiory law that may receive the sanction
of the people. We believe there is no
difficulty in framing law, which may be
constitutional, contain the prohibitory
principle, and that such law would re-
ccive the sanction Of three fourths Of the
people Of the State. We were not among
those who supposed there was any prac-
teal necessity in 1855 for adding materi-
ally to the stringcncy of the law Of 1883.
We rather believed that the people were
gradually becoming satisfied with the law
as it then stood, and that in the end, all
but those who were influenced by pccu-
mary and pen onal considerations, would
become satisfied with It, and it would be.
come easy Of execution. The friends Of
prohibition thought it expedient to pass
the law Of 1885, and friendly rs We were
to the principle Of prohibitiou on which II
was bascd,wc felt 1t our duty to sustain it,
and did so to the best OF our ability. We
do not believe that the defeat ofthe re-
publicsns in 1855 was owing entirely to
the passage Of that d. Of thas year,

DEAR SIR We take the liberty TO al.

Maine State Agricultural Society.
The success of the second exhibition and

the mechanic art-.
The objects oil the society arc to bring to-

ductions of household manufactures, and
thereby stimulate laudable emulation to
excel in every department. OF industry. We
see no way Of bringing about these desira-
BILE n sults ~ satisfactorily rs by an exhibi.
ton, where the public may freely examine
and pas, upon the merits OF stock or Arti-
cles exhibited. We believe that these exhi-
billions arc the medium best calculated TO
bring TO notice the peculiar merits OF farm
stock and productions, and the mechanic
finds .his machine, carriage or fabric much

INDIAN Troubles. The occasion OF our
constantly recurring troubles among the In
diins If our Western territories, is plainly
stated BY the ST. Paul Times:
RuN ANoSGE rIIE INDIANS. We do no,
claim any original discovery when we assert
that a,cOhol is the stimulating and direct
cause of four.ftths Of our troubles with the
Indians, ~ il is OF iour-fifths of the crimes
among white men. IL the government
would ind CT a heavy penalty on any one
who sells the fire water 10 the red men, and
then deputize vigilant force to carry that
law into execution and enforcs that penalty,
there might be hope Of something like per-
pstual peace. Indians may smoke their
kinnikinik in a calumet. but drink oil
whiskey is an emblem Of contention and
crazy wrangl,ng. There is four times the
need to-day Cor the government ID station
troops along the frontiers to prevent . set
Of vagabonds from pursuing this every whers
iarious traffic, and putting TO tie red lip
Of the poor Indian the cup that shall make
him mad, than Tor the Suppression Of actual
hostihties. Tnis is the key 10 all our from
tier difficulties. We sell 70 the wild and
benighied savage something that makes him
drunk. then we send government ,roops q
bAyonet him because he d,n't keep sober.
The Chippewas have been furnished with
liquor on the Upper Mississippi, and have
subsequently, become unmanageable ant
warlife. They have threatened the whit.
ssttlers, and have driven the late Rev. Mr.
Beck from his mission at Leech Lake. Thi
infamous traffic not only sets tribes agains'
each other and lights feudal sparks OF dis
cord into blaze. but IL puts in jeopardy tn,
lives Of ,ur settlers and settlsr's wives and
children, and margins our territory viii
