WHISKY AND CARDS.
The Grand Jury on the Rampage What
it Costs to Take "Wee Drop"
on Sunday.
From the Banner.l

From the Banner
At the last session Of the Supreme Court
a decision was rendered to the effect that
those who purchase or accept gratis, in
toxicating drinks on The Sabbath day, are
ladders and abbetlors'' Of those who violate
the law by selling liquor on the day named.
Acting on this limit, the Attorney General
has secured the indictment Of Eve hundred
citizens who have been informed on as bav-
ing thus uulawfully whetted their whistles.
Such fiuttering among the soakers We
never saw before, whilst not few of The
indicted are some of the most respectable
citizeps-among them, for instance, at least
three magistrates, several lawyers, and
even Mayor Brown. This move is partieu-
larly disagreable to our German Popula-
ton, as their means Of recreation on Sun
day viii be thereby entirely cut of. The
Attorney General will. however. make
good thing Of it, as bic fees for each con-
victioB is Eve dollars. TIE penalty award
ed by the, court, including ines, costs,
de-, will f.sll but litils below $50.
We are certainly progressing. Neal
Dow will now have 70 cave 10; aad the
hub of the universe isu't snywhere. The
man who tempts as to "smile' next Sun
day, had better have never been born.
The sporting fraternity are catching it,
too, right and ieft--nOt the old convention
al inc simply, but mOhths in the 'jug''
additional. One was committed yesterday,
and another only escaped By appealing to
the Supreme Court. .aa'1 a9Fa =

In the Fall Of Il 66 the cholera made its
appearance in the towu-ot ShelbyYille. So
sudden was the attack, SO rapidly did one
death succeed another, that our people be-
came perfectly terror stricken, SO that all
soon became hurry and hustle TO get away
from the ''dOomed city" While all his

whose name heads this article also bur-
riedly mounted his horse, but instead Of
being seen in the distance with his back
turned on the fell destroyer, bravely and
CALAMITY faced the grim monster Death /;
visited the hut, the hovel, and the mansion
alike, wherever be could hear Of a human
being stricken down with the fell destroyer;
making his daily business to see that the
sick were properly cared for aud the dead
buried 10 due time using every means in
his power to cheer up the sick, to allay the
fears of the terror stricken and to inspire
general confidence. While he was doing
all this he was not forgetFul of the hungry :.
Many persons who were dependent upon
their daily labor for their bread we're for
the time being thrown out of employment,
and thus deprived Of the means of support
Cor themselves aud families, until hunger
as we'll as death began to stare them in the
face.
Mr.. Cooper, 10 accordance with his gen.
erous nature, (Which never turned the hun
cry away empty, came forward to their
relief; had the provision house opened,
and invited al! to come forward and sup.
PLY their necessities. Thus the heart o.
many a mother was made glad and the lit.

During the late canvass it became heces
sary for Mr.. Cooper to allude 10 this 50 al

dan as the lOudess Bote upon their Politi-

The removal OF Sheridan wills perhaps

Radical element Of the countFys looking
for an. exponent Of its win may turn to

which makes him the focus of power, will

ever, in It's present phase. is bringing new
elements to the surface; and until We
know if Mr.. Johnson will play his great
trump card or not, there can be but little
/ certainty about The next Presidency, That
trump card it is now time that Mr.. john
son should play. The moment has come;
the revolutionary wave which feeds the me-
gro is now dashing him against the COM
mon sense of the country, to the ruin of
its present interests aud its future great
ness. We are now threatened with a ne
gro representative from each COMPRESSION
al district in the South, and the code
which is to govern the United States may
receive laws based upon ignorance instead
of education. The wave must be stop
ped It has broken from the control Of
those who first gave It impulse. The ma
tional revulsiOn Of feeling demands that il
be halted, aud demands too, that Mr.. John.
son halt it. Let him strike the blow lei
him now give the country universal amnes-
ty. The negro will then take his proper
place, and IN the light Of freedom which
is his right he may emerge from menta
darkness. With universal amnesty, the
reconstruction problem will be finished al

rance, and Puritanism and the negro may
take position second to the common sens,
of the country.

WAsBINGToE. August GIT is we'll
known that for some time past the Presi-
dent has virtually been in possession Of
the resignatjons of his Cabinet officers
which had been offered verbally. but re-
cent events, have induced them to re peat
the offer, and the President now has in his
possession formal written designations Of
every member of his Cabinet in this con-
neetion. The fact that Judge Black. who
has been absent from the city for several
days, has been telegraphed to advise him
of the change in the officers Of the Cabinet
and requesting him to return Immediately
is significant.
In the case Of McCulloch, though pro-
badly his resignation will be the last &C
cepted, from fear Of damage to the public
credit, still it is pretty certain he viii be
permitted to withdraw after some time. and
another man appointed in bis stead. The
idea probably is to familiarize the public
mind TO the proposed change in the treas
ury managementby degrees, and not make
too sudden a change.
Il is animated that Gen. Grant viii soon
ask to be relieved from duty at che War
oHce. "A ckangsin the Gabinss will GER
tainly take place. Stewards friends say
he viii surely go. He has been keeping
very quiet lately, and has little TO say at
the White House. Mr.. Randall expresses
to his friends willingness to resign. He
had long interview with the President
last night Before be went to the White
! House, be told his friends that on the in-
sefvisw would depend whether o. not be
would resign. Should it not have been
satisfactory last night, Randall will send 10
his resignation to day. esq ''E7. -
The pressure on McCulloeh has been
considerably checked. The feeling is 50
strong against his resignation that bis OPP
pOnents have begun to give him up as a
hopeless case. ,-.
Judge Black is spoken IS Mr., Stewards
! successor. ~
LATER,---Yari Fumors prevail to day,
among them one that several members OF
the Cabinet have formally rendered their
resignation, but this vas untrue. There
are 40 new developments on the subject.
! It's believed BY Promiaent gentlemen
that the differences between the President
and Gen. Grant. in relation to the removal
of Generals Sheridan and Sickless are ir-
reconcilable. The order issued by the
President yesterday, directing Hancock tc
relieve Sheridan. and directing Gen. Can.
by to relieve Gen. Sickles, have not been
executed. It is said that Gen. Grant, in q
letter 70 the President, declines to direc
the order to be executed, and states his
refusal instrong terms denying the rieht
Of the President to interfere in any one o.
the Eve Military Districts created by Cen
gress, asserting that the entire control o
the department rests. by the supplements

armies of the United States, and that there
