THY EXCISE LAW,

The Democratic candidate for Governor received at
the election of November last in this city, sixtynine
thousand votes more than his Republican competitor;
and Gen. Grant with all the prestige OF his name ana
services beaten here by MT Seymour by more than
sixty thousand votes These facts which we com
mend the thoughtful consideration OF the Republican
majority in the Legislature.
At the same time, should forget that there
positive allegations That these enormous maJOrltes were
swollen by fraud No doubt this Is extent,
for there Is always less cheating at elections
and the contest OF last Fall unusually important and
passionate But however great the frauds then com
mitted may have becn deny the truth that
there is mighty Democratic majority in this city and
that it is continually increasing at remarkable ratio
One great for this fact Is To be found In the
listing Excise law That law has features which 10 wise
man would think OF changing First among these Is It's
actual enforcement novelty In such legislation as APP
piled this city The amount OF revenue which draws
for public from the quordeacrs Is also something
audable. These two pecuiarites should not DO aban,
doned The law. whatever 1t is should DO enforced, and
shOud be allowed TO engage in the lucrative bust
Of retailing wine liquor. and beer without paying
act should be pretty radically modified.
We urge this in the interest both of tho Republican
party and the cause OF Temperance III the Republicans
do not wish to be forever swanped under Democratic
majores this city. which viii grow and until
ton they will amend the Excise Law II the Temper.
anc6 men do not wish TO bring about such state OF
public sentiment here, that all Temperance legislation
and all restraints the sale Of liquor will be wiped

The points in which such modification Is especially
needed the prohibition of selling wine and beer
on Sunday and after midnight. II our fellow-czens

Comments bu The Tribune.


The first point to be considered is The Suns
allegation that the Republican party, mainly
because of the Excise Law, is constantly be-
coming a smaller and smaller fraction Of our
City's inhabitants-that Democratic majOrities
are likely to grow and grow, until they in
"clude something approaching the entire pOpu-
"lation," unless that law is essentially modi-
fed. What are the faCtsf
The first dstnctiyely Republican ticket was
run in this City in 1856, when it polled 6,67S
votes against over 10000 for the opposing
tickets, or under one-serenth of the total vote.
Its first Presidential ticket was run in 1866 its
last in 1868; and in the twelve intervening
years the population of our City cannot have
increased more than fifty per cent.-a very
large proportion of the proper growth of this
metropolis so far as inhabitants are concerned,
being outside of its chartered limits. A
change to the local disadvantage of the
Republican vote is steadily proceed
ing, in the withdrawal Of our native population
from the City proper to its suburbs, while
their places are taken by men of foreign birth,
who, as whole, are less inclined to the Re-
publican cause. If all the trains running into
our City had been fairly polled any morning
last Summer, they would have shown large
majority for Grant--inost of them being filed
with our mechanics. artisans, merchants, &c.
who have hired or bought houses for their
families outside of our City's limits. And yet,
the Republican vote of our City has increased
in these twelve years as follows:
1856. Fremont ......iTT7l 1880 Lincoln 81, 900
1864 Lnc0ln.. .8G6el 1865 Grant A. 72s
Here is steady and rapid increase: the
vote for Grant in '6S being seven. times that
for Preston King in 49, nearly three times that
for Fremont in $50, and 1000 more than that
for Lincoln in '4.
Is it urged that Gen. Grants vote is excep.
tlOnal9 Possibly it is to the extent Of 2,739

proper for making the Law of Nations living
letter, and perfecting the municipal machinery
that is to render it effective.
Lord Clarendon's account Of his conversation
with Mr.. Adams thus proceeds:
at was possible. added, that the wounds inflicted by
the still too recent. and that tho will toward
England still too rife. TO render such undertaking
ought TO be borne In mind aud that earnestly de-
sired by Her MaJestys Government as means OF pro-
work therefore which would be worthy OF the cvllEa-
ton OF our age aud which would ente tho governments
which achieved 1t to the gratitude of mankind"
Lord Clarendon was undoubtedly right in
believing that for the accomplishment of such
work the two nations must be in harmony,
with by-gones by-gones, and the past forgotten,
But the idea that time alone would accomplish
this without reparation for the wrongs we have
suffered is one that indicates singular misap-
probation of the past, and misleading of the
character Of the American people. Their devo-
ton to international neutrality, as q sacred and
solemn duty, whose violation would tarnish
their honor, and render them accountable TO
injured Powers for the damage sustained by
their neglect, is written on the earliest and the
latest page of their history and were the ma
tions of tho world assembled at Lord Claren-
dOn's suggestion to make perfect code, they
would, with Canning, take as guide the men,
tralty practiced by Washington, declared by
Jefferson, and embodied 10y Hamilton in those
instructions to Collectors, which, after sixty
years, when we had occasion to demand n just
reciprocity. were found by England to have
exceeded the bounds of what she held, as regards
us, to be the just limits of neutrality.
When in 1906 there was danger of the equip
ment of vessels in the ports of the United States
for the purpose Of committing hostilities on
nation at peace with us, the moment it was
perceived that such enterprises would be at
tempted, orders to prevent them were sent to
all the States and ports Of tho Union. When
seventy years later we pointed to the iron-
clads in English ship-yards fitting out for our
destruction, and demanded the like protection,

Petticoats and the Clinics.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, speak
ing of the females who attend medical lee
lures in Philadelphia, says:
"The Radical New York and Philadel-
phia papers are reeking with abuse of the
students who hooted and hissed some wO-
men out of the lecture rooms Of ii medical
college in Philadelphia. The students OBJ
,jected to women being present during the
performance of a surgical operation at
which the operating surgeon even was dis
gusted, and which was one which it was
indecent for men and women to witness to-
gether The women, with a boldneSS and
hardihood that would have disgraced the
most abandoned of their sex, persisted in
remaining, and were Kissed by the students,
who felt outraged and shamed by such
brazen effrontery. Whereupon, an infuri-
ated howl of wrath and venomous chagrin
was raised by the "%trooly loil" press. The
secret of this burst of Indignation is that
some of these students are Southerners
who have been time-serving and foolish
enough to 60 among a people who despise
and abhor them, to complete their modi-
cal studies instead of patronizing their
home schools. 1t serves them right, and
it should act as a lesson to them to keep
away from Northern schools in the future.
Let them come home. They are building
up by their patronage the schools of Phil
adelphia, a city that detests them at heart
while it takes their money and fawns up
on them. There are enough medical
schools here and elsewhere where gentle
men can prosecute their studies without
being intruded upon by a pack of women
who are striving to unsex themselves, and
seem to have neither sense nor modesty
left, in their wild hunt after their "rights.'

What a "Dead" Party Has Done.

Those who have been e~ndeavoring to
build up a new party upon the idea that
the Democratic party is dead, have some
very stubborn facts to confront them just
now. The New York Democrat sums up
the results Of the October and November
elections, in order to show that the Dem
ocrats have gained n substantial victory.
The exhibit comes in this shape: "Among
the States Grant carried in 1868, were
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, Min
neSota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and CAL
i%fornia. These gave him an aggregate
majority of 2S5,247. Among the States
that went for Seymour were New York,
New Jersey and Maryland. These gave
an aggregate Democratic majority of Ar
Sll. Leaving a total majority for Grant
in the eleven States mentioned Of 24O,436.
Those same eleven States have voted with
in the last two months, for candidates OF
greater or less importance, but always up
on questions of party. One of the eight
States that went for Grant last fall, this
fall goes Democratic, leaving only seven,
which have given aggregated Radical ma
~jorities of $4,000, against 2S5,241Jlas
year. New York, New Jersey, Maryland
and California have this fall gone Demo-
cratic, and given aggregated majorit:es of
$4,000, against 44,Sll last year. This,
instead of leaving a Radical majority in
the eleven States of 240,436, gives the
Democracy a majority of $500. Within
one year the Radical majority has decreas-
ed 209,747, while the Democratic maiOrl-
ties have increased 37,lS9." The latest
returns from the election IN Minnesota
elect the Republican candidate for Cover
nor by a few hundred votes. There are
four or five counties yet to hear from the
precise figures cannot, therefore, be given
yet. Had the Democracy been vigilant
in the canvass there, and worked with the
same zeal as the Republicans that State
would have been placed in the Democratic
column. As it is, the vote is sufficiently
close to show that it is within their reach
at the next election. Large gains have
been made in the Legislature Of the State,
and the Republican majority on joint bal
lot has been reduced more than One-half.
In addition to this, Democratic county
officers have been elected in several of the
Republican counties. All this very plain
ly shows that the Democratic gains are
not confined to one State and one locality,
but that they extend to all parts of the
country.-Union and american.

THE ENTERPRISE.
IwEETwATER, THURSDAY, nov. Is, i8G9.
A Failure,

Ii was intended to hold a County Con-
yentiOn at jacksonville, Monday last, for
the purpose of nominating a candidate for
the State Convention, but, for reasons I'M
known to us, it was u failure. We do not
know, at this writing, whether there is yet
to be a County Convention or not neither
does it make any material difference with
US, but we do think it time that some good
man should either voluntarily announce
himself, or that the leading citizens should
draw one out by calling on him. The PEG.
pie seem to be in a state of apathy re-
garding this subject. Not taking, or at
least not exhibiting any interest in a mat
ter of such vital importance to every cit
izeu Of the county, may rebound unfavOr-
able to US. 1t is but a little while until
the election, let whoever are to be candi-
dates, make it known, so that they may be
interviewed by the people; that they may
know what they are voting for, as well as
the man to whom they are giving their
suffrage. Candidates are out in nearly all
the counties, do not suffer noble old Mon
roe to lag, but draw out some pure man,
and we can easily elect him.
P. S. Since the above was placed in
type, we have been requested to call upon
the Conservatives to meet at jacksonville,
the first Monday in December next, to
make the nomination.

Weather Wisdom.

The weather-wise people are predicting
u severe winter. Even so dignIied a
journal as the Bulletin d'Association Sci
entiiquc, of France, ventures to indulge
in prophecy, and announces that "thc win
ter of l869-7O will be exceptionally Sc
we're in the eastern hemisphere" The
data are not very definite or clear to one
outside of the meteorological circles, but
the inside wise men talk with much show
of sagacity of the beavers and prairie dogs
of the West, who have begun early to an
ticipate the winter, and are making extra
ordinary preparations in advance. The
winter in the French Bulletin is more
scientific, and says: "Since the atmos-
pheric perturbations of lS59-6O, the years
have been warmer, clearer and dryer, and
the barometric pressure lighter than be-
fore. These anomalies cannot fail to find
their cOmpensations ere long, the winter
before last closely corresponding with that
of 1928, and everything betokening that
about 1870 we shall have a great winter
like that of l829-3O." We are not fright
encd quite yet, and advise our readers not
to be alarmed unduly by such predictions
We remember to have read some of sim
liar character last autumn, which failed
most ingloriously. W. have always lad
private doubts whether beavers or prairie
dogs could see much farther into the fu-
ture than the almanac makers. We sus-
pect that it is not better thar guess-wOrk
with them, and they often make mistakes
in their calculations. 1t is u reflection on
human intelligence to think the beavers
wiser than man and we haze long since
decided that the character of the winter
will be known much better in March than
in November. 1t may be well, however,
to give heed to the prophets of evil omen,
aud prepare for the worst.

Computing Interest.

An exchange gives the following rule
for computing interest, which, it says, is so
simple and so true that every banker, bro
ker, merchant, or clerk should post it up
for reference. There being no such a
thing as a fraction in it, there is scarce
any liability to error or mistake. BY no
other arithmetieal process can the desired
information be obtained by so few figures
Six per Cent.-Multiply anygiven num-
Der of dollars by the number of days of in
terest desired, separate the right hand fig
ures and divide by sixty; the result is the
true interest on such sum for such number
of days at 6 per cent.
Eight per Cent.-Multiply any given
amount by the number of days upon which
it is desired to ascertain the interest, and
divide by forty-fve, and the result will be
the interest of such for the time required
at 8 per cent.
Ten per Cent.-Multiply the same as
above and divide by thirty-six, and the re-
suit will show the rate of 10 per cent.

Passing AWAY.

It is distressingly sad to see how many
good and leading men, are now being ear
ried to their last resting place. A re-
markable number have died, and continue
dying daily. Scarcely a day passes but
that we hear of one, and frequently more,
being swept from off the stage of action.
Unless death checks up in this inroad upon
the celebrities of the world, the newspa-
pers will be transmogriRed into mere obit-
uary sheets.
One by one these links are broken that
unite the living present to the past.
