Alcoholic.

Alcohol is product of putrefaction. 1t
is!to liquids what carrion is to meat. 1t be.
gins with the death of the grain, it ends with
the death of the drinker. All processes Of
distiHation are forms Of decay and death
The alcohol, thus obtained by abnormal pro-
.cesses, Is the intoxicating element in all in
toxicating drinks The chief difference be-
tween beer and whiskey is the percentage
ofalcohol. We are told that it is the abuse,
not the use, of alcoholic drinks against
which we should guard the community

a is certainly not food. The experiments

The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1871-05-04

Radicahsm is very funny thing. It's
hallucinations are as comical rs its men
dacitics are egregious and bald-faced
The thing seems to regard itself as the
government, and its party as the entire
people. And opposition to its treason.
That is sad.
Merrick, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in Washington City, made n
speech that is thus described and lauded
by the Chicago Times:
"Seldom has abolitionism suffered so
terrible scothing, and his araignment
Of the Administration for its imbecility
in the prosecution of the war, and for
its usurpation Of power, infrnctions of
the Constitution, and inyNsions of per-
sonal rights and liberties, was sublime
in its force and eaInestness."
A Radical paper gets fiery over this
alraignment Of the Radical party and
dubs it in this way: "A trnitorous
speech, Landed by traitorous print"
This is good, funny and sad, all. Mer-
tied censure of the Radical party is trea-
son to the government.
In all seriousness, it is time for that
transparent sort of bosh to cease getting
currency among an intelligent people.
Surely Northern men are not to be de-
luded by such gabble, while in its graver
features this sort of preposterOus claim
involves n crime against constitutional
government that should be rebuked by
the utter discontinue Of those who thus
dcbauch our institutions-Ex

Urging their Claims.

The Union and Americaa says that ga
number of the Democrats papers are
beginning to urge the elaims of their
respective fayorites for the Presidential
nomination by the Democracy in 1872
This is, perhaps, all very well, provided
our respected co-laborers in the cause
of constitutional government do not be-
come.so deeply enlisted in ehe cause of
some political aspirant as to forget the
all importance of principle, or to ignore
that other aspirants have merits which
deserve consideration. Shsuld the con-
servative Republicans, from whose ranks
We expect to make converts, find that
the Democracy are asregar Jess of prin-
ciple as the Grant politicians md, that
our struggle is simply for the loaves and
fishes, they will conclude that there is
but little inducement for change in
their party affiliations. We must have
men, and proper men, to carry out the
needed measures OF government but let
us remember that the motto of the De
mocracy is, measures before mon. 1t is
our duty to convince all men that such
is our motto, and that we intend to live
up to it,"

The Washington Election.

The Washington Patriot shows that
the Radical success in the recent election
there for Congressional delegate, was
marked by the most glaring Radical
frauds. Every government clerk was
formally ordered to register and vote,
and many of them had voted in their
own States. The estimate is that there
were 1000 OF these voters.
The importation of negro voters was
largely done. The official census shows
10, l49 male negroes of age. The num-
Der registered was 10,774, or 625 more
than live in the district. The Patriot
estimates that there were 2,379 illegal
negro votes.
Well, this is simply the Radical way
of doing things. Let those who like it
vote to keep it up. But if anybody de-
sires better things, there will be ample
opportunity in 1872, to bring better
things about.

When a trade or profession is chosen.
obstacles, be they large or small, must
not be allowed to stand in the way of
mastering that trade or profession.
However much we muy deprecate, the
old time custom Of indenturing appren-
tices, the system, in its practical results,
operated almost always for the lasting
good of the apprentice. Generally it
insured to him good trade and
wholesome discipline, fitting him for
success in business. At the present
time very many young men undertake
to acquire trade, and after brief trial
abandon it. because there areunpleasant
duties to be performed and obstacles to
be overcome. They consider themselves
accountable to no one, and go and come
at the bidding of caprice, or an unset
tied, uneasy mind. The result of this
Is to send out into the world young men
who have not half learned their trades
of unstable character who drift from
post to pillar, and who succeed in moth
ing but strewing along the highways Of
life melancholy wrecks CT men.
We earnestly entreat every young man,
after he has chosen his vocation, to stick
to it; don't leave it because hard blows
are to be struck Or disagreeable work to
be performed. The men who have
worked their way up to wealth and use.

and unstable class, but may be reckoned

Whether upon the old worn out fprm
where our fathers toiled, diligently stri-
wing to bring back the soil to produc-
tlveness, in the machine shop or factory,
or the thousand other business places
that invite honest toll and skill, let our
motto ever be; Perseverance and indus
try. The training of the nursery was
good in its place, but it won't answer
all the demands in active life. This is
not baby world. We must expect to
be jostled and knocked about in the stern
conflict, get run over if we arc not on
the lookout and prepared to meet tho
duties OF life with the purpose not to
shirk them, but to fulfill them.
A young man with good trade or
honorable profession, is not obliged to
ask many favors. He will hew his way
to success, while the unstable and shift
less will grow tired, despair and fail.

The German Peace celebration in

It is noteworthy that in the resolu-

celebration in New York ON Easter Mon
day, the name Of tic Emperor Wilhelm
was mentioned only oncc-and that by
Gov. Hoffman III his brief response to
the Address Of the Executive Committee.

moved by. Such another sacrifice would
undo her. And for what has the sacri-
fee been made? To increase the glory
and power of a potentate who bases his
right to rule, not on the popular will,
nor any constitution, but on the most
ultra assertion of the divine right Of
kings. We admire the taste and good
sense Of our German brethren in care

from their rejoicings over tho return of
peace to the Fatherland.

A pious old negro woman was once
caught by her master in the act Of steal

took of the communion, after which the
master accosted her as follows:
"Why, Hannah, I saw you to-day at
the communion table,
Eyes, tank de Lord, mNssa, was low

"But, Hannah, was surprised to see
you there" lie said. "How is it about

She looked little surprised, as if she
did not understand the question, but
catching the meaning she exclaimed:
"Why, sab, does you tink Use gwine to

Country Newspapers and Country
EditOrt.

The writer of an article entitled as
above, in recent number of Pomeroy's
Democrat, sensibly remarks:
"NIeanwhile, let the country editors do
all they can to make their papers inter-
esting, and then let those Immediately
surrounding those papers do all they
can to support the same, taking care to
subscribe for their home papers; and
then if they have money left to wish pa
pers from abroad to read let them sub
scribe for such us suit their fancy. But
let no man who has the interest of his
immediate section at heart, subscribe
for our paper, or any other published
out of the town or county where he re-
sides, till he has first subscribed for his
home paper, unless it be edited by man
who has not life, ambition or intellect
sufficient to make the paper interesting.

church. A story is told of old deakon
Fletcher ov Konnektikutt State, who
was digging post holes in a ram pasture
on his farm, and the moshun ov his
boldly was looked upon by the old ram,
who fed in the lot, az a banter to a
fight.
Without arranging cn1y terms for
the fight, the ram went incontinently for
the deakon, and took him the fust shot
on the blind side ov his boldly, just about
the meridian.
The blow transposed the deakon sum
eighteen feet, with heels over head mo-
shun.
Exasperated to point at least ten
foot beyond endurance, the dealion
jumped up and screamed his whole
voice. "Yu damned old Gus,
and then all at once remembering that
he waz good, piuz deakon, he apollo
gised by saying-"that is, if 1 may be
allowed the expression"
The deakon haz my entire sympathy
for the remarks made to the run.
