.r"What is to be done with the Liberal
Senators ?p asked, feeling tender solicit

such good sermons when not in politics.
"Turn them out in the cold where they
belong. Let them stay with the Democ-
racy. AS the boys say, 1etthem rip.'"

Local Miscellany.

A youngster yesterday, doubtless thinking
that all the horses in the city have the expizoot-
ic, mounted large porker and rode about half
a square, creating considerable amusement.
The old auction house at the corner of Gay
and Main streets is being reftted.# 1t was in
quite dilapidated condition.
The epizootic hasn't affected the horses in
Western North Carolina to any perceptible ex-
tent, beyond the fact that the price of apples
has considerably increased. - e YT
It is an i'll wind that blows no one good, so
said, and whenever an emergency arises, peo-
pie are apt to make money even out of calam-
ity, if they can. Yesterday morning country
man came in town driving two yoke of oxen, q
pair of which he offered to sell for the modest
sum of 500 An enterprising man can make
oxen pay while the epizoot RACES and then sell
them for beef. 4 IL ~
On yesterday the Sheriff served notice on

EDITORS CHRONICLE: The good people
of this county are in the field with petit
ton to our Legislature, asking for law
allowing the legal voters of any county in
the State to determine by ballot whether
saloons or groceries for the sale of liquors
shall be thereafter licensed in their county;
and since former legislatures have enacted
that each county of our State may or may
not levy a tax on dogs, also may or may
not levy tax on the property of the
county for school purposes, may We not
reasonably expect they will consider favor
ably q petition from the people, asking
that every county of the State have the
privilege of determining for themselves
whether they will or will not have groce-
ries
L enclose copy of the petition, which,
if you publish, may meet the approval of
friends of temperance and good order in
other counties of our State, and induce
them to join in similar request:
"The undersigned, citizens of Cumber-
land county, and State of Tennessee, be-
lieving the use of alcoholic liquors as q
beverage fruitful source of Thriftlessness,
Poverty, Pauperism, Crime and Taxation,
do respectfully petition our Legisla-
ture soon to assemble to enact a
law providing that when at least
fifty legal voters of any county in this
State, shall at least thirty days previous to
the holding of any election, general
throughout Said county, in writing 50 petit
ton their County Court, it shall be the
duty of said Court to cause due notice to be
given in every ward, precinct or civil Dis
trict of said county that at the ensuing
election the legal voters of said county will
decide by ballot whether thereafter the
sale of Intoxicating liquors Except for
medical or mechanical purposes) shall be
licensed in said county"
1t will be perceived such vote would be
attended by no extra expense or waste of
time as it could not be taken on any other
than an election day where most voters at
tend the polls on other business, and as to
the notice of said vote to be taken, it would
be incorporated in the regular election

IT appears that some of the prominent
merchants of New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia and other cities have purchased
he Ba, of SANTANA in San Domingo, which
the Government lately refused to buy.
The steamer Tybee that recently sailed
from New York took out the money re-
hurried by the Baez Government for GER
t5ain specified amount of territory, includ-
ng the celebrated harbor named. One OF
he merchants interested, Mr.: c. K. Car
;ison, in the purchase was recently inter-
yiewed in New York, Being asked what
hape the project was in he said:
ave have raised the money demanded

cal controversy on the subject. But what
is the condition of the island? Is there
much industrial activity there?"
"There is q large export trade of coffee

of the greatest importance will be the pos
