ILLICIT DIsTiLLiNG IN TENNES.
Sea Nashville correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune says there is
more illicit distillation in the State
of Tennessee than in any other two
or even three States. Some counties
are computed to have not less than
thirty or forty stills operating to u
detrimcnt of the revenue laws
More than dozen men have lost
their lives in efforts to enforce the
revenue laws. About all the service
the Fifth Cavalry, stationed in
Nashville, has seen for the past
year has been in aiding to crush out
Illicit distilling.

The Republican Party.

Decidedly the most absurd and
silly thing which has been said in
connection with the fertile subject of
impeachment, is the assertion, 50
constantly made by the Democratic
press, and even endorsed by some
quasi Republican sheets, that the
failure of impeachment to result in
conviction will demoralize and de
stroy the Republican party. Such
an ldea can spring only from tho
warped and biased Judgment Of a
malignant political opposition, or
from the weak fears of timid, hest
tating and lukeWarm friends. As
soon might we expect the failure Of
the dew to fall upon a single sum
mer'S night would check and destroy
the entire yengctatiOn Of the seas
ON. Such an event might indeed
destroy parasitic plants which,
clinging to those of nobler growth,
derive their ephemcral existence
from mere outward supply Of
moisture, but it would have no et-
feet upon the oak which binds dts
gnarled roots about the rocky ribs
of the hills, and draws its lille from
their inmost TececSCs, sending up
its branches and putting forth it,
foliage with a Vigor and freshness
unimpaired by the summers fiery
drought. The Republican party j.
rooted deep in the popular atlcc
tons. 1t draws its life from the
strongest pulSations Of the nitlona
heart. And the mere failure Of i'm
parchment to result III conviction
though it may prove disastrous tC
those political parasites who cling
to the party only because it support.
them, will have as little effect upol
it, as a whole, as the failure of til,
dew fall has upon the iron branChcC
oak.
Of the two great political organi
cations before the country it is tn
only one that is based upon liberia
ideas. 1t alone possesses that spiri
of progress without which any part
must inevitably wither and die. !
is the party Of the young men,
young not only in years, but il
spirit and in purpose, who bring t.
it that vitality and force which ha
rendered it so irresistible. Its can
didateS are the candidates of Ii
young men-the men who carrie
the country through the war, an
who will now perpetuate it upon til
principles which the war sustainc
aud indicated.
Let then no member of this grej
party despond because of the resu
of the great state trial. The Won
of the Republican party is not don
Its future will be what its past Ii;
been. a continued growth carryiu
its living principles into practic
and triumphant effect. And md,
the standard of Grant and Cola
ii will achieve in the campaign no
so happily begun Il victory as gre,
in its kind as that which it accom-
plished over rebellion at the Sout

Mr.. EDITOR We the undersigned hav-
ing been chosen by two aggrieved parties to
settle dispute between them, have arrived
at conclusion and wish it published in
your paper The circumstances occasion
ing the dispute arose in this way: Evan
ID. Jones, Thomas ID. Jones, and William
and David Griffiths were at the house of
Henry Davies, and while seated around the
fire an explosion took place in the stove,
from some cause to them unknown. All
parties were very much surprised and
alarmed. Mr. Davies forthwith accounted
for the explosion by accusing the visitors
of throwing gunpowder into the stove.
This they denied, but without convincing
Mr.. ID. Of their veracity. After examining
the case thoroughly, We are of the opinion
that the above named persons are perfectly
innocent of the charge preferred against
them, and that the explosion was caused
by some agency unknown to US.

The Contempt Case.

The result of the trip of our members of
the County Board of Supervisors, Messrs.
Levake and Rewey, to Milwaukee, is, that
Mr. Rewey was discharged but Mr.. Levake
was required to foot the bill of costs, some
$50. The facts of the case are these: Mr..
Levake had resigned the Office of County
Commissioner three weeks before the writs
requiring the levy of the tax were served
on him, and was not member of the Board
at the time of levying the taxes. Mr. Rev
ey, though member of the Board, was
unable to levy the tax for the reason that
Mr.. Bonner, the only other member of the
Board, opposed it. Mr.. Levake had no
more to do with leyying the tax than any
other citizen of Iowa County. and how
Judge Miller could bring him in for the
costs is mystery to US.

MURDER.-We learn from a gentleman
of good authority that brutal and unpro-
voked murder was committed at New Dig
gings, Lafayette county, one day last week,
under the following circumstances. A Mr..
Leary, lately from Idaho, had short time
ago purchased farm in Lafayette county.
Having occasion to go to Galena, he was
returning with load of lumber, and when
near New Diggings his wagon axle broke,
and he went to the village to get new
one. While there be got very drunk, and
going into the store of Mr.. j Robinson,
annoyed the clerk so nruch that he put
him out. The drunken fellow not liking
this summary manner of procedure, went
to the back door and got in again. By
this time the proprietor Mr.. Robinson had
come in, and on being informed of the af
fair, ordered the man out, and threatened
to shoot him if he did not go. He re-
fused to go, and told the storekeeper to
shoot away. Mr.. Robinson then drew a
revolver and deliberately shot the man
dead on the spot The murderer has been
arrested, and we understand is to be tried
at the forthcoming term of the Circuit
Court in that county.

fY Reading the old story of the Kilken-
ny cats few days ago, reminded US of a
tale of more recent date, which, although
not as well known, is nevertheless as true
and withal quite as strange A certain
Yankee invented what is called persua-
der it was patent hens nest, in which
the egg drops through trap door and so
deceives biddy that she keeps on laying.
He put it in his hen-house, and very fine
hen soon settled herself on the curious in
vention, but she never came off again.
The owner visited the persuader at night.
In the upper compartment he found a
handful of feathers, few toe nails, and a
bill. In the lower compartment were three
dozen and eleven eggs. The delicate con-
stitution of the hen had been unequal to
the effort; and. fred by young ambition,
she had laid herself all away.
