We have seen what can be accom-
Plished in the counties having large nc
gro majorities, by concert of action and
resolution ON the part of the Conserva-
tives, and so we have seen what may lost
in the counties having white majorities,
when they have failed properly to organ
ize and to act in harmony. In Alcorn
county, for instance, there were no nom
nations by the opposers Of Radical mis-
rule, and the consequence is that thew
saved their candidates by the skin of
their teeth, notwithstanding the
large majority of Conservative voters in
the county. By only a few votes is the
county spared the disgrace of Radical
representation in the Legislature. The
lesson should not be without its uses.

worsest whisky that ever was sold;" and such
cases frequently occur Trained moderate
drinkers shrink from half the stuff sold in
our saloons as they would shrink from the
vilest compounds that were ever made by q
professional poisoner. And there can be no
doubt that the drinking saloons of Philadel-
phia actually poison 1--WE do not mean in the
prohibition sense, which implies that all
alcoholic preparations are poisonous, but in
medical sense) thousands of citizens every
year, sending them to their graves by prepa-
rations as deadly in their nature as arsenic or
prussic acid. Men who occasionally take
glsss of lager beer, wine, or brandy, know
this fact even better than the temperance
men know it, and the question is worth con-
sidering whether, as jurymen, they would
not convict the dispenser of such internal
mixtures; and whether a series of such con-
victions would not go far to root out of the
community thousands of the rum-mills which
are now sowing broadcast fatal diseases, as
well as perpetually Haunting temptations.
If liquor must be sold in our midst, restric-
tons of some kind are better than no restric-
tions at all; and it is becoming especially
necessary that the power of poisoning the
community should be restrained, as we'll as
that Philadelphia should be, in part, relieved
of the heavy financial burden now imposed
upon her by intemperance.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1871.

~ THE EVENING TELEGRAPH, from
Its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists OF
the Tribune, Times, Herald, W0rla,
Sax, Joa,nal Of Commerce, EvEning Post,
Commercial AdVs,fisS,, and EVsning Et-
6yxss. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evil
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia-
bility OF the news which we have received
from this source. Last March we entered
into a special contract by which THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own members,
the North AmsrTcan, Inquirer, Ledger,
Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals Of the
East, North, West and South; and hereafter
THE TELEGRAPH will be the only evening
6abey bK6lished in this city in which the
afternoon dispatches of the Associated
Press will appear.

seat in the Legislature affords him? The
people Of the Sixteenth district knew all about
our friend Smith, and yet they sent him
to the Legislature, and he, true to his prin-
ciples, proposes to reward their confidence
by making them bear the expense of some of
the most magnificent jobs that have ever
been introduced to the notice of the public
by any of our lawmakers who have no repu-
tation for honesty or decenoy to lose. One
of the principal measures proposed by Mr..
Smith is grand scheme to open variety of
new roads, and to pave them and number
of those already irf existence at the expense
of the property holders of the Twenty-second
and Twenty third wards. Unlike Nagle's
public buildings bill, this is no joke. On the
contrary, the Representative from the Six
teenth district really means business and is
fully determined to make hay while the sun
shines. If Smith can get the above men,
toned bill, or indeed any one of his
numerous measures of a similar charac-
ter, through the Legislature, and secure
the signature of the Govcrnor-this last is
not difficult thing to do, by the wayne
can afford to retire from public life and
spend the balance of his days in making
money out of paving contracts. 1t would be
hard on the Twenty second warders, we know,
but as they were ambitious to be represented
in the Legislature by w. f. Smith, Esq, they
really have no good cause for complaint if he
makes them pay handsomely for the luxury.
1t is sad to think, however, that as in all such
cases the innocent must suffer with the guilty,
and that those who did not vote for
him will be compelled to pay as well as
those who did. This is one of the inconve-
niences of our political system, and it must
be borne with as good grace as the victims
are able to commando and if the people of the
Sixteenth district are obliged to pay tribute
to Smith and the ''ring" of which he is the
immediate representative, it is to be hoped
the depletion of their pockets will at least
teach them the Importance of sending proper
men to Harrisburg to make laws for them.

REDUCTIO AID ABSURDUM,

MIR. NAaLE, who is evidently humorist of
rare attainments, yesterday introduced bill
in the State Senate which proposes to settle
the public buildings controversy after new
and original fashion. Mr.. Nagle, evidently
tired of hearing so much Improbable discus
sion with regard to the site for the public
buildings, especially after the whole matter
has been definitely settled by the Legislature,
the votes of the people of Philadelphia, and
the decision of the Supreme Court, proceeds
to annihilate the anti-Penn Squareites with a
TeductiO ad abSurdum His bill forbids the
erection of the buildings on the intersection
of Broad and Market streets, and directs that
structures for the accommodation
of the municipal officers, with the
exception of City Treasurer and
Controller, shall be put up on one or two of
the Penn Squares at cost of $500, 900,
and that buildings for the courts shall be
erected at Fifth and Sixth and Chestnut
streets, upon Independence Square, at cost
of $5OO,OOe. The idea of scattering the
public offices about in this manner, instead OF
concentrating them in one elegant edifce,
could only have originated in the brain of
legislator with a hugely-developed bump of
humor, and no better plan could have been
suggested than the introduction of such a
bill as that of Mr.. Nagle to demonstrate the
absurdity of all the clamor that has been
raised against placing the public buildings
where the commissioners have proposed to
place them. There are times when q Joke
will accomplish more than serious argument,
and as the whole controversy with regard
to the location of the public buildings is based
solely upon the absurd idea that the whole
city of Philadelphia should be inconvenienced
in order that a few property holders in the
neighborhood of the shanties at present occu-
pied by the courts and municipal officers may
be benefited, it is just as we'll that the city
should be threatened with an arrangement
which demonstrates effectually the utter alb
surdity of the whole squabble about the pub
lic-buildings site. AS Mr., Nagle's bill is
evidently intended for a joke, it will undoubt-
edly be dealt with by the Legislature in an
appreoiatively humorous spirit The citizens
of Philadelphia have given their decision in
the matter of the location of the public build
ings, and there is no further occasion for
Legislative interference of any kind. If the
commissioners are allowed to carry out their
plans without impediment, they will give the
city structure which will be an object of
pride to many generations, and which will
shame the present opponents of the Penn
Square site into admiration.

"ROOSTER" SMITHS GREAT PAHING
,JOB

We really do not sympathize to any great
extent with the unfortunate Inhabitants of
the Sixteenth Legislative district for the
anxiety which Mr.. W. f. Smiths course, since
he has been a member of the House of Repre-
sentatives, must have caused them. Mr..
Smith peouliarities as public man were well
known, and also his accustomed style of
representing the interests of his constituents.
How he distinguished himself as a general
advocate of jobs which no one else would
touch, when he was member of Councils, is
it not written in the "Journal of Councils"9 2
and was it not to beexpected that the schemes
of the redoubtable Smith would expand
with the enlarged sphere Of action which
