per, that their sold man had gone in"
The wives felt very badly indeed.
"He vas devoted to me-" sobbed
Emily.
"And to me-" said Maria.
"Yes," said Emily" she thought

The Chicago Advdnce, recog-
nized as one Of the foremost Of our
moral and religious papers, thus
argues against tie doctrine that il
a thing be wrong, one must come
down on it with extirpation, He
is not arguing for licensing liquor
selling, but against the idea Tat
"license" necessarily implies a
'1egalization" Of wrong doing. He
says:
"Ifit is understood that the hon
est aim Of the authorities is to limit,
as much as possible, what cannot
be abolished, and thus act in the
interest Of virtue In all practicable
ways; and II the method adopted
keeps this prominent then 1t is a
misconstruction and pervcrsion,
to make a charge Of connivance
with sin and Of a desire to give re
spectability to vice by legal protec
tion. Many are deceived by the
sound Of word For the word
"lieense" substitute the word "re.
striction," and for the expression
"license fec" substitute "flne" or
assessment" aud the moral aspect
of the thing at once changes,
NOSES acted ON the principle Of
federation under restriction, by di-
vine direction, and in view of the
confessed imperfection of all out
ward legislation, when he dealt
with social questions, such as
polygamy, divorce, slavery and
blood revenge. He modified, dis
couraged, repressed, limited, what
he could not Immediately and thor
Oughly abolish
We commend this view to those
whose argument against modifying,
discouraging, repressing, limiting
any prevalent evil is summed upI
in; Ts 1t right or wrongP IfI
wrong, is it right to license a
wrong ?"

True as Gospel, is the following,
said by Rev. Robert Collyer, in a
recent lecture at Chicago. 1t IS not
only true Of Chicago, but Of other
towns, that the working, success
ful men Of to, day, we're oncepoor,
industrious, self.reliant boys, And
the same thing will be repeated
for from the ranks Of the hard.la-
boring, econumical, temperate and
persevering boys Of to day, will
emanate the progressive, prominent
leading men Of the future;
every man who is doing any
sort of work in Chicago to day,
was raised a poor mans son, and
had to fight his way 70 his place.
Not one Of them, as / can ascer.
tain, was a rich mans son, and had
a good time when he was a boy,
except that all boys should grow as
strong as steel bars, fighting their
way to an education, and then, when
they are ready, plunging into life
with that traditional half dollar
and a little bundle tied up in a red
handkerchief, as have observed al
men start, l tell you that In five
sud.twenty years, when most Of us
that Hao now III our middle ages
have gone "a our retrihution, the
men Of mark IN ths country will
not be the sons Of those whose ia.
theirs can give them oil tfey wish
for, and ten times more than they
ought to have, but will be those
who are brought up in farm houses
and cottages, eating their way
through tie thickest hinderunces oil
every kind and oil the brown stone
houses in this metropolis will be as
nothing to bring out the noble
man.

Tht Atrald,
Adulteration Of Teas.

For few years past, there has
been a very active rivalry among
those engaged, here and elsewhere,
in the tea trade. To such IN ex-
tent has the competition been car
ried, that immense quantities OF
worthless teas are now palmed of
upon the public. Those claiming
to know, assert that New York has
become the best market in the
world for the adulterated teas I;
that importations which would be
condemned anywhere else, II ct
with ready sale here, because
they are offered at cheap rates.
We fear there are some grounds
for this assertion, Housekeepcrs
generally complain that they are
imposed upon; and yet if they
would procure genuine article,
they must patronize reputable
houses, and be willing to pay fair
prices, instead of catching at the
spurious brands which are offered
at very low rates. Professor
Draper, who has devoted much at
tention to the subject, says consum-
ers have little idea Of the extent to
which authorizations are practis ed
BY the Chinese. The various means
resorted to he has classified as fol-
fows: First, the substitution of
inferior for superior varieties
second, the addition of leaves Of
other plants; third, the employ
ment of what the Chinese call lie
tea; fourth, the colorlng and re
drying of leaves that have already
been used, or cf those that have
been damaged, so as to pass them
for good green or black tea. In
these "ways that are dark" the
heather Chinee displays remarkable
skill. Very frequently, he deceives
the tea merchant, who prides him
self on being a superior judge of
quality. At the same time, many
of these merchants are in collusion
with the dishonest natives, and It'll
is to them that we are indebted for
the worthless and oftentimes iniu
rious concoctions which are ex-
posed for sale in New York,
If consumers would put a stop
to these impositions upon them
selves, they must cease to tamely
submit to them. So long as they
do not rJtlrn to sellers spurious
articles which have been palmed off
upon them, and limit their indigna.

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1871-05-02
The Republican Ku-MIux.

Probably the first case to come before
the United States courts in the South
under the provisions of the Ku klux law,
will be that of three Republican office
holders in South Carolina. Some two
or three weeks ago the safe Of the treas
urer of Abbeville county was broken in,
to and robbed of $4,000 in money,no
of which has yet beeh recovered. The
chief constable of the State has succeed
ed in tracing the crime to three brothers
named Guflin, originally Northern men,
but for some time residents of Abbeville.
One of the Gullins is member of the
Legislature, another is probate Judge of
the county, and the third is mayor of
the town Of Abbeviile. All three have
been arrested and are now in close CON
finement in Columbia The chief con-
stable says he has the most indubitablc
proof of their guilt.
1t would be a singular thing if the
Ku klux force bill, which, as is claimed
by its trainers, was intended TO suppress
disorder through out the South, should,
after all: do something toward accom-
plishing its purpose, in an indirect way,
by removing the cause Of these distur.
Dances in the persons of dishonest Off
cials and scalawag adventurers.
