The Effects of Alcohol OH the Human
system.

Alcohol forms no part of the living
body, and when taken into the stomach
is rapidly absorbed, or rather permeates
the membranes and the coats OF the
blood vessels, and finds its way into the
blood, with which it forms no homo
geneou. mixture. but, alien-like. is hur.
ried along in the circulation, To be eli
minated. in great part, as speedily as
possible, that which is retained produc
ing very equivOcal effects, and in many
instances painful and fatal diseases. 1t
escapes by the way OF the lungs, as
shown in the breath OF those who
have been drinking ardent spirits or
strong wines, and also by the skin and
kidneys.
That portion of the alcohol which is
retained in the body accumulates most
readily in the brain and liver. and it
was. found in its pure state after death
in these organs, especially III the brain.
The first manifest effects of an alcoholic
liquor are on the brain and nervous sys-
tenn generally, on which it acts. in small
doses, az an excitant, and i'll larger ones
as narcotic. Other parts are affected
in corresponding manner, being at
first stimulated, not strengthened. and
afterward retarded and weakened in
their action. For example, the heart,
that wonderful, and, during life, never
ceasing pump, when its inner surface is
reached 10y the tide of blood containing
alcohol, works away so much faster to
get rid of the intruder in so doing, its
machinery is needlessly strained, and
if this be continued from day to day is
more apt to be deranged and sooner
worn out.
Under the operation of the prolonged
use of alcoholic liquors the heart often
becomes hypertrophied or morbidly
thickened, and At other times dilated
and thinner in its substance or still
worse condition supervenes-its muscu-
lar texture is converted into fatty mat
ter, and it fails to contract with the
requisite force and regularity, and is
liable at any moment to cease beating.
In this sudden cessation of the hearts
action is found an explanation of some
of the sudden deaths of which we read.
These destructive effects of the use of
alcoholic liquors are not by any means
confined to drunkards they are seen in
persons who had never been intoxicated
during their lives, but who had been
regular drinkers of these liquors. The
liver is diseased in like manner from
the like cause.-LippcncOH'S Mqga-ine.

THERE. is THE REBELLION.

Our mild and gentle Government has
had. since 1865, mild and gentle eye
cooked on the South. Our people were
watched with as much solicitude as
yesuyius excites after an eruption
The very breaths that were breathed,
and the very whispers that escaped
them were, to ears full Of loyalty, full OF
treason. Their personal bearing was
noted: the expression Of the features OBJ
served; and the whole man, physical
and emotional, studied. Sometimes an
outbreak occurred that, in ordinary
times, would never have reached the long
ears of the Government 1t was caught
up and sounded over the North, magnl-
fed and appropriated for personal and
partisan purposes. Time went on
and from another quarter came re-
ports of crime and outrage. If the
South had been forced to silence by
the war the North had become clam
orous, bloody and revengeful. The
war had ruined the morals of tens OF
thousands and converted honest men
into thieves and villains. Not the least
Of their crimes we're those OF Official,
public and private robbery. Men dis
covered that they need not toll for indie
pendence. They could cut round labor
and save rivers of preparation by hold
ing an Office, or robbing a railroad safe,
or bank, or becoming a member OF
some legislative body, where votes are
bought and sold. While affecting 10y
atty the most sublime, they cared moth
ing for the integrity of the law, and only
awaited an opportunity to commit
crime. We are not speaking of the ma
jority of Northern people. We refer to
very large class who keep the newspa-
pers full of horrors and the jails full Of
criminals. Though in q minority, their
deeds 90 to the world as the deeds of the
North, just as some wrongful acts com
mitted by individuals in the South COM
promise the whole South. These
Northern law breakers are vast
army, and are increasing rapidly in
numbers. They are as dangerous to the
peace Of society as the Communists of
Paris are to the repose OF France 1t is
a nucleus around which all the bad men
of all sections can rally. All that these
men want now to render themselves for
midable, is organization. They are re-
solved that they will not labor. They
discover an easier mode Of living. They
are dependent on the fruits of the toll Of
others. The Government if it really has
a disposition to put down rebellion
anywhere, let it turn its shotted
guns on the North. Let it exhaust its
power where there is not only the noise
but the fact Of crime, bloated and
bloody. Every criminal act performed
is rebellion, and the North is full Of il,
The pretense that troops and severe
laws are needed in the South. every
man of ordinary information knows to
be false. And still, with an efronterJ
as bold as it is unusual, the masters
of the people cry out that rebellion is
alive in the South Turn your jaundicej
eyes to the North. There is the rea
rebellion.

The Pittsburg Post tells the following
Horace Greeley has been accused OF
having spoken enthusiastically Of General
Lee during his late Southern tour. AT
public meeting in New York, Henry
Ward Beecher lauded the personal char
acter of Lee in very high terms. Mrs.
Keckley, the colored servant of Presi-
dent Lincoln's family, who wrote a book
about her life at the White House, says
in this book that on the very morning Of
the assassination Mr.. Lincoln took up a
portrait of General Lee, scanned the
face thoughtfully, and remarked: 1t is
good face; it is the face Of a noble,
brave man; am glad the war is over at
last. at0

pEFENprNa THE coMMUNIsTs.

The bloody Communists Of Paris find,
as should have been foreseen, defenders
in such Yankee Communists as Henry
Ward Beecher, Ben Butler and Wendell
Phillips. Beecher probably thinks that
in the midst of the storm and FIRE and
blood of the strife, without which the
rabble of Paris cannot flourish, he could
serve the devil to better purpose than
playing actor every Sabbath in Plymouth
Church. Butler probably thinks that
among such scenes as were lately
enacted in Paris, he could insult as
many women as he pleased, and steal as
many spoons as be wanted. What
makes a Communist Of old Phillips is
difficult TO determine, unless we place il
on the ground that being very bad
man, he very naturally seeks the society
Of bad men, These three characters
would like to see the spirit Of the Com
mune imported into this country and in
grated into American politics. There
is already a strong Communist feeling
in the city Of New York. It is said that
at a recent meeting of men Of this per
suasion they put forth sentiments most
blasphemous. In the Communist creed,
we are told, God is a brutal tyrant,
devotine nations 10 the slaughter Of each
other, and priests are bis appointed
agents to incite ma to the bloody
work. Disciples Of Yoltaire, and

TAXATION.

In an article on Mr.. W. R. Moore
late article on taxes, etc., the Nashville
Banner says; Without discussing now
the merits of the remedy proposed, we
cannot ignore the fact that the tax
upon the commerce of the State is out
of all proportion, and ought to be
equitably adjusted at the next legisla-
tive session. The merchants of Mem
phis aud other West Tennessee cities are
all aroused to the necessity of some such
reform, and they will certainly have the
cooperation Of the mercantile commune
ties Of Nashville and Knoxville. Better
the State should foster and build up her
commerce than choke it to death with
taxation. The fable of the goose and
golden egg, here applies with force toe
paIpable to be mistaken or misunder
stood

PACKING JURIEs.

The Holly Springs Reporter Of Friday
AZ
last says: -
We have been informed by prominent
LAWYERS, members of the Holly Springs
bar. who have been in attendance upon
the Federal Court at Oxford. that It has
become customary OF late to pack the
grand iuries 10 bring in indictments and
the petit juries to convict men OF crimes
they never committed, on the testimony
of ignorant negroes and corrupt, Vindic-
tive and malicious earpet-baggers.
This is very grave charge, but the
source from which it comes is ungues-
tionable in point Of personal integrity.
The lawyers of Holly Springs are very
competent to know what takes place
about court, and when they assert
what our correspondent reports them
TO have asserted, the country will believe
them. The packing Of a jury to convict
is crime against all justice, and when
tolerated by those who permit the prac-
tice, should subject them to expulsion
from Office and every other punish
ment known to the law. Such practice
would not be tolerated in England BY
the people, nor in any Of the Northern
States. 1t will not long he tolerated in
the South. .tn H
