Made up Liquors.

One is impressed to seek reason for the
numbers of murders and sudden death which
are now so frequently reported, and in doing
so there is one frightful source TO which to
trace the cause of the evil. and that is the
amount of made-up and poisoned liquors
now sold to the public as beverage. In a
very large majority of the cases of murder
reported, the murderer has been found to
be laboring under species of insanity, pro-
duced by the fiery poison of made-u up
stuff called liquors. At any corner you may
find compounder of poisons, and it is too
tempting business to be easily prevented
Ten cents worth of strychnine or other
poisonous drugs viii impart to barrel of
beer double the strength of that value of
hops, and with the present skill in chemical
cal preparations, hardly gallon of pure Ii
quor is necessary to produce thousands of
gallons. The city is flooded with these poi,
sons, called by all sorts of names. The best
brands of champagne are wholly produced
in this country in such perfect limitations.
that the genuine cannot be detected if per.
chance a bottle should be mixed with it.
The California wines offered for sale are
very large, but the made up manufacture of
certain establishments in this city. So with
other wines and liquors. Nor are these ex-
aggerated statements they can be verified
any day by the assessors of internal revenue
and the examination of the liquor. But can
nothing be done to stop this wholesale poi
soning of the community Must every man
who takes glass of wine become possible
murderer, an insane homicide? The evil is
one which cannot be overlooked.-N y

b1e Programme.
AS our readers know, We have no good
opinion'ofi the seigning party, either at
home, or abroad. We deem it inimical
to the best interests Of the country, both
in % moral and, material point of view.
In its relations to government, to morals
and to; genuine civil liberty, we hold that
it is equally to be condemned and op-
posed. In its craftsmanship it is grossly
OF fault. Building its policy upon re-
sentiment of vengeance. relying for its
motive power upon force and fraud, we
regard it patriotic duty to oppose it,
and happy consummation to deprive it
of its influence in this country. On this
point, however, there is some difference
of opinion. We do not propose to dis
cuss the matter now. Our object this
day is to make single point, and, if pos
sible, to drive it home to the convictions
of our readers. This point is, that what
ever differences there may be on the sub
iect of politics and party relations, there
can be no difference as to the paramount
matter before us-as to the indisputable
programme. The putting forth of all
our energies in the general field of labor.
The development of our resources MS in
dividuals and as members of the State
this is the great duty before us. It is in
this way that our condition is to be i'm
proved, our dignity to be maintained,
and our influence to be regained. We
put this idea prominently forth: To our
State let capital be invited-to our State
let laborers be welcomed, and it will be
we'll. But i'll addition to this, let all our
home strength be developed and brought
into play. Let LABOR, directed by intel
ligence and inspired by zeal, be tho COM
mon motto; let all go bravely and
steadily to work-each man in his field,
each woman in her sphere. and not long
will it be ere it will appear as if some
potent magician had waved his wand
over our State. Thence will come that
prosperity that pleases all; thence will
come that peace that blesses all; thence
will come that po,oer that will dignity all.
And thus it shall come to pass that the
State will be herself again.

The Governor gets $4,000; his Cabinet
in all $24. and the Legislature $500
per annum, or, allowing forty days to the
session. hrelre dollars and tJfl.y ccnas per

A Christmas Reflection.
The New York World says:

AS nation, we have many reasons for
greeting the anniversary with thankful
ness. We are at peace; the land is fnt
with plenty; and our material prosperi-
ty, in the face Of The burdens which tho
war cast upon us, is greater than the
most sanguine among us would have
dared to hope for. The year past has
witnessed the completion of the most
important single work which has been
wrought upon the continent. It has
seen the Atlantic and tho Pacific united,
and heard the deeps calling to each other
across immeasurable spaces of mountain
and plain. A few years hence, throng-
ing community will inhabit spaces which
have hitherto been the pasture grounds
of the bison, the lair of the wolf, end
the domain of the savage. Where the
wigwam stood, shall stand the church,
and where the brave chanted his war
song about the campfire, the preacher
shall intone more peaceful messages to
mankind.

circling the world with one unbroken
stream of the martial airs of England,

piled to the church bells which. greeting G

thousand years to girdle the old conti-
nent with crosses aud lift the rosary OF

morning, to congratulate ourselves upon
the progress we have made.

TIE SOUTH CAROLINA BoNDs.-A new
piece of rascality on the part of the
South Carolina Legislature has como to
light. year ago the bills of the State
Bank, then selling at twenty cents on the
dollar, were bought up by the Radical
Ring which controlled the Legislature,
one of them from Ohio owning as much
as two hundred thousand dollars An
Act was passed to fund these bills at
their face, and interest stipulated in law
full money. This was good speculation
for the party, but recently the Legisla.
ture have provided that tho interest on
these bonds shall be paid in gold instead
of lawful money, thus causing the bonds
to go up to 75.-N. Y World.
