Intemnarance.

The following is the best article we have
ever seen in the Press and Times:
''The Kuoxvelle Wig says that out of
eighty petitions for pardon, sought by friends
of cOuvicts in the penitentiary. now on file
at Nashville, awaiting the action of the
Governor, at least taOo thirds of these allege
that they committed their offenee while
under the izJgaseace Of liquor. Fbisreally
furnishes no ground for pardOn--rather 1t
aggravates the case. No man has any right
TO plead drunkenness as an excuse or defense
for the commission of crime. Still, drunken"
ness is combining thousands in PFisOn-re-
ducing thousands to poverty, and tens OF
thousands to premature graves. Intern
perauce is the handspring of all the ma
chinery of ungOdliness with which this
vast country abounds."

The Democrats Sustained.

The Supreme Court Of the United States
is eucountering the execrations Of the Jaco-
bins, and its very existence is in some jeO-
pardy. It's recent decision, declaring the
military tribu nals that dominated over the
country during the war unconstitutional, is
a terrible threat against many measures of
the Radical party. This tribunal appears
to have escaped the contamination of the
times, and stands a bulwark against the
surges of psrtizan passion. 1t is well for
the happiness of the American people that
this arm of the Government remains true
10 it's ancient teachings, and abides by the
recognized principles of American liberty
1t sustains substantially the principles o.
the Democratic party.--Er.

o. MEN OF Few WoRDs.-Some men use
words as riAemen do bullets. They say
but little. The few words used go right
10 the mark. They let you talk, and go on,
till what you say can be answered in a word
OF two and then they lance out sentence,
pierce the matter to the quick and are done.
Your conversation falls into their mind ss
rivers into a deep ehasm, and is lost from
sight by its depth. They will sometimes
surprise you with few words, that go to
the mark like a gunshot, and then they are
silent sgain, as if they were re!oading.-
Such men are safe counselors, and true
friends, in every case where they profess to
be such. To them truth is more valuable
than gold, while pretensiOns are too gauzy
to deceive them. Words without point. to
them are like titles without merit, only be-
iraying the weakness Of the blinded duPes
who are ever used as promoters Of other
mems schemes.

IT is not true that the Government has
issued an order abolishing military com
missions. A general Orderis being PrePar-
ed by the Secretary of War, addressed to
all commanders of military departments, di-
recting them to abstain from any and all in
terferance with civil affairs in their resPec-
tive commands, and to confne themselves
exclusively to their military duties. This
is intended to include the prohibition of
military commissions from the trial Of civil
ians. It will be promulgated in day or
two.

JUDeE STORY. in closing his commenta-

gives the following view, which should
never be forgotten by the great body of the
American people: ....
Republics are created by the virtue,
public spirit and intelligence of the citizens.
They fall when the wise are banisbed from
the public councils, because they dare to
be honest, and the profigate are rewarded
because they fatter the people in order to
betray them

that of Major General John c, Brown, now

cool judgement and intrepid gallsDtry he
had no superiors and but few equals; as a

which he is greeted by them whenever and
wherever met, is the most grateful and de-
