EnINTTrIvS COLUMN.

We understand that our friend EN-
mitt is displeaSed that we only took up
a half column with him last week, and
he proposes to buy column each week.
All right. Money is what we want,
and he has it. We also understand
that lie does not desire to claim credit
for the effect of whisky in New York
State. Well, as he is modest man,
we will confne the matter to Ohio this
week. We could put feather in his
cap by telling what his whisky is doing
in the town of Jackson, in the way Of
running families destroying our best men
men in high places, but that would
render his column too personal.
Mr.. Emmitt owns much of Chillicothe.
We believe he has bought their hotels,
and named them after himself, and he
proposes to bring the General Govern
ment to the Old Metropolis So we
will make selection from the ChlllicOthe
Gazette:
Our "ctizens without regard to color or pol
itics have been annoyed beyond endurance by
the crowds of drunken loafers who cOngreg0te
on our street corners, curSlng, swearing, carOus-
ing and fighting, this more especially on Sunday
than any other day. There are corners in this
city that ladies who are walking out in the eve
ming will go around the square to avoid, and we
hope our policemen will give them their atten-
tlon before they again Interfere with our colored
military company.
The city Of Portsmouth also being
on the "Bottom," we will give the fol-
lowing from the Tribune:
SATURDAY NIGHT.-0ur goodly city was ION
1t" again last Saturday night, we are sorry to say.
A few knock downs occurred early In the evening,
as q prelude to the interesting orgies which pre-
vailed till late hour In the night and causing
highly interesting sensation to perVade the throng
that always occupies the streets In the evening.
These affairs generally originated in saloons, the
parties adjournlng pell-mell to the sidewalk when
they found themselves inconvenienced by the
Circumscrbed limits Of the bar-rOoms, their exit
therefrom being accompanied by the crash OF
screens, thck-tOngued expleIives and hysterlca
threatenings. 1t was interesting, not to say
funny, to those not personally concerned, for In
most cases the amount of noise and gesticulAtion
was such as to preclude the possibility OF actual
mischief. Ice-cream saloons were not very well
patr0nzed, and the sizzle of the soda fountain
was scarcely heard but the rattle of the decanter
and the mellow glug-glug of the brown lager as
ilaowed from the jolly old kegs, sent sweetmuslc
to the souls of the numbers who were having

SO much for Saturday night. II Is o good
thing in It's way, but II Is well for some people
that 1t copes no oltener than once week.
And here is something from the Gin
Cinnati Gazette:
STABBINo AFFRAY. .--.0n Tuesday afternoon Q
couple Of men, named Frank Thurley and Mike
DoOlev, formerly deck hands on one of the NAL
line steamboats,, after lndulging to great extent
In bad whisky, concluded to settle an old grudgt
by lighting II out. Dooley, who was tho small
est man, getting the worst of IL. seized large
cheese knife and lunged 1t into Thurley, cutting
him twice In the breast. Thurley fell back, eX
claiming that he was wounded, when DOOcy
threw down the knife and escaped across th,
rlvor. The aiIray took place In u low saloon on
Water street.
And here is q little item from th'
Commercial:
