THE ENFORCEMENT Congress has
done only half work in its cct to enforce The
XVIII Amendment, While IL has passed a
bill that puts every black man who will swear
that white man tried to obstruct or influ
cnce his vote, with penalties Of fine and i'm
prisonmont, it is at the same time talking
of reducing the army. Our calculation is
that 1t will take an army of $50, 600 men TO
enforce that law. The theory Of Senator
Thurman Democrat from Ohio, is that
the Radicals have made this act absurdly
lmpracticable on purpose, that it may not be
enforced. 1t is of that class of laws that
Judges and jurors cannot be found to en-

feel that we will be pardoned for say

who among comparative strangers, was
elected by an overwhelming majority
over one of or most popular fellow

offices in the county, and gave security

associated with Mr.. w. J. DALE, and
they probably had the most extensiv
trade i'm their line in the city. After the
war, he formed co-partnefship with
Mr. JAS. AKIN, one of our most popular
merchants, now deceased. His extern
sive experience in dealing in the finest
fabrics, makes him competent to keep
the very best.
WALKER g. AKIN have received their
Spring goods, and warn everybody that
do not call on them that they are los
ing splendid bargains. They keep gen.
uine, substantial goods; and sell them at
moderate prices. In buying goods from
Mr.. WALKER, NICK AKIN, or BRUCE,
we laways feel assured that not only
are we getting a good article, but
at reasonable price also. Mr.. WALKER,
though he but recently came among us,
is an old and experienced dealer in Dry
Goods, as well as an excellent citizen and
a gentleman. Be sure to give them a
call, at che old stand of Bunch & Akin.

We have known him long, and known
him well. and have no hesitancy in
saving, that we know of no gentle
man within the District who is better
qualified than him: he is a gentle
man of high moral character. ripe
scholar, and none rank him in his
professional skill. We know him to
be gentleman who, when he he
will, he means what he says; in short
we are satisfied that no better selec-
ton could be made in the district and
hope that he may be elected to that
high and responsible position without
opposition. MANY VOTERS
