New York, went into the treasury Of theStete
instead Of that of the city. The use Of in
toxicating liquors is unquestionably the most
prolific source Of crime and poverty in this,
as well as in every other community, and
those who make living by trafficldng in the
6ery, maddening, impoyerishing stuff should
beforced by the law 10 contribute affair amount
towards repressing crime and relieving want.
The license fees should be fixed at a much
larger sum than they are under the present
law, and they should belong to the treasury
of the city, which is SO overburdened by taxa
tion that 1t seems impossible for il TO provide
the accommodations required for its criminal
population; and, above all, the license law
should be honestly and effectively enforced,
and every man who attempts to evade its just
provisions dealt with as severely as the law
allows. t,.

YESTERDAY in the National House OF Re-
representatives., the Honorables Benjamin f.
Butler and S. S. Cox enacted one of those
little Congressional farces that serve to create
some amusement both in and out of the
House and to relieve the dreary monotony of
the ordinary proceedings, but without we
are sorry to say, increasing the public respect
for the participants. ''Sunset" called Ben
iamin ''bomb-proof soldier" which was
considered to be an imputation On the rer-
sonal vaiof and military record Of the "hero
of Fort Fisher and Dutch Gap, and an ex-
cellent joke, as jokes go in Congress Butler,
however, if not great soldier, is something
of joker, and is more than match
even for the brilliant Sunset at this sort of
thing, so he merely told S. s. Cox to ''shoo
fly, and Cox got so angry that he evidently
had a desire to turn the farce into a tragedy
by cutting out the Sights" of Butler, when
his friends succeeded in carrying him OFF and
calming his excitement by the administration
of a dose of brandy and soda. This little
scene was no doubt very amusing, but it was
not particularly creditable, and it suggests
the idea that it is about time the opponents
of the irrepressible Butler had found some
other means of abuse than references to his
military career. The public are just little
tired of hearing ''spoons," Fort Fisher, and
''Dutch Gap dragged in ON all occasions by
persons who find themselves unable to COM
pete with Batler in any other way.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEE on TERRrroRiIs is
taking testimony with regard to the condition
OF affairs in the Mormon country, and there
seems to be commendable disposition in
Congress to move with proper caution in the
adoption OF measures to remedy the evils that
exist there, and to assert iu the most positive
manner the authority of the Government.
II is admitted on all sides that the peculiar
matrimonial institutions of the Mormon
Church are disgraceful to the country and to
the age, and that the time is fast approaching
when something must be done in the way Of
reformation. The circumstances of the case
however, are such as will require peculiarlv
delicate management, and any rash and hastily
considered action on thepar of Congress will
scarcely produce any but evil results. On
this account Mr. Culloms bill for the aboli.
ton of polygamy has met with butlittle favor.
and it is generally conceded that it is not
adapted for the accomplishment of the de.
sired object. 1t is impossible 10 proceed
against whole community of people, espe-
oially in matter that principally affects
themselves, and is held by them az
an article of religious belief.

viduals residing in the midst of a society

A VETERAN of the Revolution and the war of
1872 was yesterday received on the floor of
the House of Representatives at Washington,
where he excited much interest. The name
of this old soldier is John Kits, who was
born in this State in l7G2, and served through
the war of the Revolution, being present at
the surrender of CORVALLIS at Yorktown. He
also carried musket during the war of 1872,
and would doubtless have eft into the Re-
bellion' if his advanced agehad not restrained
his patriotic impulses. This old gentleman
must be one of the most aged of the few re-
manning veterans who saw the birth of the
nation and assisted in winning our
independence. His career covers our
whole national history, and be
has been a spectator of the mighty changes
that have taken place since he shouldered his
musket and went out nearly hundred years
ago to fight the red-coats, with probably but
little idea of what he was doing, and i'm
pressed by mingled feelings of patriotism and
young mans longing for the excitement of
the battlefield. We are not informed
whether Mr.. Kits has made it point to vote
regularly for every President from Washing
ton to Grant, but as all the veterans are dis
tinguished by this trait, it is to be presumed
that he has not omitted to perform his duty
in this respect as Revolutionary soldier
should. The House of Representatives paid
Mr.. Kits a proper compliment by extending
to him the privileges of the floor, and we
hope that he may continue in health and
spirits long enough to participate in the GEN.
tennial anniversary of the signing of the De-
claration of Independence that will be held
in this city few years hence.

as in the States and any attempt 10 suppress
il 10y armed force will only result in blood
shed and disaster At the same time il is a
matter of much consequence that this dis
graceful feature Of Mormonism should be
brought directly under the condemnation of
the law. and the authority Of the Government
asserted in the most positive manner over the
whole of it's territory. Il would be better,
however, for Congress to do nothing what
ever at the present time than to take any
hasty steps that will be repented Of here
after, and rather than adopt such bill as
that of Mr. Cullom, il would be preferable to
leave Mormonism to the influences of the
civilization that ia sweeping westward and
fast surrounding it with hostile population.
THEas are giants in these days, but tn
probabilities are that they will shortly become
so common as to be a drug in the market,
and cease TO have any particular interest with
the wonder-loving public. II is character
istic of the American show business that those
who manage il never know to let we'll enough
alone. and If one individual makes hit there
are hundred others SO impatient to share his
profits that they all rush in together, and
spoil the business by giving the public sur
felt. 1t was thus with the Btack Crook, the
White Fam, the opera bouffe, and the
blonde burlesques, aud it is thus with the
Cardiff giant. There was a suspicion of
humbug about that monster from the first,
that served, however, to whet curiosity and
to cause steady flow cf currency" into the
treasury of it's proprietors. But soon duplicate
giants began to appear in alarming numbers,
until no one was able to tell which was the
''simon pure, and by the time that the whole
business of manufacturing this ''relic of re-
mote antiquity" was exposed, tho giant bust
ness had almost ceased to he a paying specu-
lation, in the centres of civilization at least
The makers of the original Cardiff giant,
however, appear to think that there Is money
in the thing yet, for they publish card in a
Chicago paper announcing their readiness to
furnish any number to order on the original
model, and it is possible that there may be
some few people in the interior who do not
read the newspapers, or who are hard up for
an excitement, who will be satisfied to invest
their money TO see these masterpieces of
American art, under the belief that they are
important evidences of the truth of the
Mosaic account of the creation and early ages
of the world. Indeed, we almost regret that
the Cardiff humbug was ever exposed, as it
afforded jealous theologians such an excellent
opportunity to back up Moses against those
troublesome fellows, the geoIogists and
others, who will insist that the science Of the
Decalogue is defective.

a Radical Eixhf.

A week or so ago, Elmore, one of Col.
W. ID. HENpLEY's old negroes, wanted
some whiskcy, and went into Janison's
grocery, at Carter's Creek station, and
bought and paid for it. He had been in
the habit of drinking with his brother
Radical John 4. Campbell, but being in
debt to Campbell he did not want him to
see and change his money, and therefore
went elsewhere TO spend it. Campbell,
who is the Radical candidate for Sheriff,
found it out and at the first opportunity
he hit him over the head with heavy
Hickory stick. Whereupon, Elmore
struck Campbell in the mouth with his
fist, knocking four or five of his front
teeth out. Campbell says it was Rad
lea, fight. and is therefore all right.
