LIQUOR LEGISLATION IN MASSACHUSETTS,
The condition in which the laws relating to
the sale of liquors will be left by the legisla-
ton of the dominant Liberal" party of Mas
sachusetts can now be pretty clearly deter
HIHeu- f,ssso
pealing the act establishing. a State police
over the Governors veto, and the constabula-
ry will remain. The only way to avoid this is
to induce the Governor to compromise, and ac-
cept the control of the local police in lieu of
an independent body. The new license bill
will probably pass. The licensing power is
given to the County Commissioners except in
Suffolk and Nantucket countries, where spec
ial commissioners are to be elected. The in
habitants of any town may vote that no IL
censes shall be granted within their limits
The price of lice nses is from fifty to one hun
dred dollars. In other respects the bill re-
tains most of the features of the one previous
ly introduced.

Mr.. Carlton Dow, soldier from Fremont
while serving in the late war received wound
in the face, just below the eye, in battle at
Fredericksburg in 1862, and a short time after
he had two small lead bullets cut out, suppos-
ing that to be all. Since that time he has been
troubled by his face ing swollen at times.
He called on DR.. E. G. Neal on the Sd inst,
and after examining his face, he opened it and
took out an ounce ball, which was great re-
lief to him. So says correspondent of the

WHO is there that is not familiar with at
least the phrase, the "Wilmot Proviso?" The
man whose name is indissolubly connected
with one of the great eras of the anti.slavery
conflict has so far withdrawn from active po-
litical life of late years that we doubt if ma
ny persons were aware that he was still
living up to last Monday, when it was an
nounced that he had just died at his residence
at Towanda, Penn. Wilmot was born in Beth
any Wayne county, Penn, January 20 1874 In
1874 he was chosen to represent the Twelfth
district in Congress; was reelected in 1916
and again in 1S4s. 1t was during his second
term that he became distinguished as cham
pion of liberty, through the celebrated "Pro-
viso" which bears his name. In 1852 he was
chosen presiding judge of the Thirteenth
Pennsylvania judicial district, which position
he resigned lin 1854 on his acceptance Of the
Free Soil party's nomination for Governor.
He was subsequently reelected, however, and
continued to fill the position with marked a.
blity until his election to the United States
Senate in 1861. In 1863 he was appointed a
judge OF the Court of Claims by President
Lincoln, which position he has vacated by his

He is only ffty-two years of age, and has been
spoken OF as suitable person for the throne
of Spain. 1t would be a pity to mar 80 much
felicity.
The price OF cigars in the Havana market
are $500 per thousand for Celestiales, $500 for
Leopoldinos, $3.50 tor Senadores- and Patri-
areas, 500 for Imperiales, $50 to SIS for
Regalias, SIS for Londres, and s95 for Princi-
pes. The tobacco crop this year is somewhat
inferior to that of 1867 /; the quantity is about
twenty-five per cent. short Of last years pro-
duce the price is fully twenty to twenty-five
per cent. dearer. Some Of the fine quality Of
this years crop will be finer than any produced
last year, but little or none of this class has
been worked yet. An extraordinary dullness
has existed in the market, Cccasioned by the
high prices asked, the supposed inferiority of
the crop and absence of orders for cigars,
caused by the large stocks existing in the
United States, England and Germany. The
quantity OF tobacco shipped from Havana
since the let of January, 1868, is about 4,6OO,-
600 pounds, of which about 100000 went to
the United States.

Not Disqualified.

The following communication from the
Chairman of the Citizens Nominating Con-
vention removes all doubt as to the eligibil-
ity of the Honorable II. D. LEsEsNE to hold
Municipal Office. 1t is clearly the intention
of the State Constitution to disqualify from
holding Office only those who are SO dis
qualified by Congress, and Congress does
not disqualify any one from holding Office
which are neither Federal nor State. Mr..
LEsEsNE is undoubtedly eligible as Mayor
of Charleston, both under the Constitution
of the United States and of this State:
1t having been rumored tina. Chancellor
Lesesne i, disqualified for the Mayoral'y, the
Nominating Convention of the Citizens party
consulted distinguished counsel, who have
given the decided opinion that the disqualif-
cations under the fourteenth amendment of the
Constitution Of the United States apply only to
Federal and State offices, and not to Municipal.

Chairman Nominating Convention.

Organize! 4!

We can, by working hard, elect the Citi-
zens candidates, and must endeavor to labor
in euch way that cur efforts shall produce
the greatest possible good.
The registration opens tomorrow, and it
is vitality important that we should register
every voter favorable to the Citizens party.
We have no narrow boundaries: no fine
distinctions. Every man who is desirous of
giving Charleston q wise and economical
municipal government is member of the
Citizens party-whether he knows it or
not, and whether he is white or colored-
and all such men should be promptly and
surely registered.
This cannot be accomplished without
thorough organization, and we hope that
the Working Committees in the different
Wards will be so large that they can lay off
each Ward, as in taking census, and thor
oughly canvass every dwelling house in it.
We have active men enough in the city vino
will be willing to put their shoulders to the
wheel and help US out of the mire. They
appreciate the necessity of victory and the
necessity of untiring work during the few
days that separate US from the day of elec-
ton. And if they will use their strength
throughout the city, deliberately and sys-
tematically, with u thorough organization
and division of labor, we shall show to the
weak kneed and doubters that the Citizens
party can register enough votes to make
PILLsBuRY grieve that he ever attempted to
bully the respectable people of Charleston.

Our Future Aldermen.

The ticket for Aldermen put forth by the
Citizens Nominating Convention is rich in
every element of popularity and strength.
Every class of finterest is fairly represented,
and the record and names of the nominees
will appeal with as much force 10 the COL
ored people as to the white voters of the
city.
Merchants whose career is untarnished
by trickery or subterfuge, mechanics who
have made labor honorable by the success
full industry of life time, citizens who have
already served the city indefatigably and
we'll, are grouped together in common
cause The warm and unsel6sh Irishman
stands by the side of the tenacious and
hearty German, and the shrewd and loyal
Scot stands shoulder to shoulder with the
trusted but silent Charlestonian; the whole
forming a solid phalanx of good men and
true, resolved to rescue the city from the
anguish with which it is threatened.
In the hands of these men, fellow citi-
zens, Charleston is safe; with these men at
the council board, your property will i'm
prove in value, your labor will advance in
price, and, under a:l circumstances, your
women and children will be free from insult
and from danger. They are not the mouth
pieces of any clique or party; they are not
welded to any one set of ideas or confined
to worn and beaten track. Called by the
ofpolitical life, they place themselves square
ly and fairly before the public, sacrificing
for the good of the city their private wishes
and the profits of their calling.
Fellow. citizens, we have nominated our
Aldermen. Now, let US elect them.

Women of Charleston! where all else
fails, you can succeed. You can arouse the
sluggard, make anxious the negligent, make
industrious the idle. You can show 10 our
people that it is their duty to work unceas-
ingly to cave the life of our city. You can
explain to them what to their women will
be the consequence of such government
as that which defeat will give. You can
do more by word and smile than others
can do by force of logic and grace of rhet-
oric. You can make it certain that every
one of your kinsmen shall do his duty as

that Charleston shall not be sacrificed by
the recreancy of her own children.

more we appeal to you to save our sacred

To our Noble Women.

We have as our standard bearer in the
approaching battle pure and blameless
man, who is worthy to stand forth as the
champion of struggling and saddened
people; and it would be happy omen of
fortune and success if we could enlist with
us, in the momentous struggle, that unseish
enthusiasm which, during four calamitous
but glorious years, was the hope and the
pride of the South.
Then the women of our State encouraged
the faint of heart, cheered the worn and
weary, filled the desponding with courage
and strength, and urged father and brother,
son and lover, to valiantly do their duty.
The fight, then, was for this dear native
land, for that name-South Carolina =
around which crystalized the memories of
hundred years of valor and honorable
pride. And our fair women, emulating the
maids and matrons of song and story,
taught by their own example the lesson of
fortitude and perseverance, and with their
own sweet lips quickened the faith of old
and young, who, meath the emblematic
starry cross, went forth to meet the foe
Our women were then our very life and
soul. Dear for their passionate appeals,
dearer for their carelessness of self, dear
est for the bravery with which they hid
their mortal wounds while soothing an
others pain. Nor did they pass unscathed
though clad in the spotless armor of virtue
and of truth. The cannon which roared
on Potomac and Rapidan found an echo in
their throbbing breast; the sabres which
flashed on the broad fields of Virginia were
reflected in their tear-dimmed eyes; for
every ruddy stain which consecrated the
Southern soil there was a breaking heart
at home.
And yet our women did not quail; and in
the darker days which followed Appomat-
to1 were true and fearless STILL They knew
their people and trusted themselves. There
was no compromise with wrong, no embrac-
ing the weak and false for expediency or
gain. They were then, as ever, our own
dear, gentle women, and in this the moment
of our peril we flee to them for aid with the
trust and confidence of yore.
Women of Charleston we are imperilled
by the adventurer and the stranger. Our
homes are threatened with dishonor and
our spires with desecration. Charleston,
our beloved Charleston, is menaced with
destruction, and the enemy cometh in so
crafty guise that he has deceived many
Of our own people, and lulled them TO q
sleep which is death. We hold the weap-
ons with which to win the battle We have
the power and the force. The means Of
victory are not beyond control. But many
Of our people, young as well as old, are
careless and supine. They see no necessity
fer excrtion, or believe exerion vain. A
