GROG LOGIC.

There is legion OF the grog- minded who
assume that the best thing for the State is to
leave every form of wickedness alone. Those
who argue that we have no right to restrain
or prevent the sale of poisons, are naturally
opposed to preventing prostitution or pOlyg-
amy. OF course they are by sequence equally
opposed to preventing tho circulation of OBJ
scene journals and counterfeit currency. We
are at a loss to know upon what principle they
found their notion of the paramount utility and
impunity of crime, unless it be in libertine
conception Of the law Of supply and demand
which, we submit, is very good free-trade doc
trine as argued by certain Democratic journals.
Thus, the supply of polygamy and crime
generally will be regulated by the demand for
it; and so, in the opinion of our sophists, tho
natural law will govern the case But has it
ever struck our contemporaries that wholesome
prevention is part of the supply and demand.
and tho moment we cease to make o moral
effort at public progress, that moment we are
guilty of public crimei Society is responsible
for its drunkards, and the same law that i'm
pels us to take down the gallOws excites our
cOnscences against the rum-shopi 1t is just as
impertinent to declaim against the gallows, or
against any form of robbery in our City Gov
ernment-another mood, we take it, of the
general inebriation of wickedness-as against

To-day Duxbury and Boston are to celebrate

Telegraphy. Since the 9th of July, 1885,
communication across the Atlantic has never
been for single day interrupted. Accidents
have from time to time occurred, but only to
one cable at time, and in shallow water near
the shore, where the damages were easily
repaired. When the work was just beginning

enormous load of debt with which their
previous costly failures had burdened them,
they felt compelled to charge tariff of eco for

Once more we have a frghtful instance OK
clumsy hanging-this time at ST. Louis, Mo.
The victim on this occasion was William Ed

to inform us that he was "colored," and that
he was executed for the murder of another
"colored man." Perhaps if Edwards had been
cuticularly colorless, they would have taken
more pains to hang him genteelly. p" Where's

if we have a right to hang criminals we have
no right to torture them. We begin to think

The letter to Col Higginson concerning the
arrest of Turner the negro postmaster OF Ma
con, which we printed yesterday, received a
prompt confirmation in the verdict of the
Court. AS is already known, the new evidence
of which it spoke abundantly established
Turner's innocence. and secured his
discharge. Georgia papers now bristle with
stories, as pOrtentous as they are
vague, concerning alleged revelations of pri-
vate character, which, though not sufficient to
secure Turner's conviction in any court, will,
as they boast, be enough to force the Admins
tration to dismiss him from Office. We beg to
suggest that this is coming out at even a
smaller hole than that whereby they entered.
They began by charges of counterfeit
ing, which it is how proved that they
trumped up with the sole purpose of
seeking to drive the man out of Office. Failing
in their conspiracy, they resort to charges of
general depravity. We are neither prepared to
dispute nor to admit them-we only suggest
that it has been fortunate thing for great
many previous pOstmasters in Georgia that
this test of fitness was not in vogue in their
day.
