A few evenings since, = man by the
name Of Fogerty. from Paris. had been
in town with his wife part If the day
trading. Toward night he went for
his team, aud at tho expiration Of about
two hours, was loaded into his wagon
dead-drunk, covered up in the cover
ing designed for the comfort of both,
and driven around to one of cur stores
for his wife, his condition compelling
her to drive home, some fifteen miles,
insuticicntly clad for such a journey,
and its exposures.
These are the bare facts in the case,
without varnish. Now, we respect
fully ask the moral, virtuous class Of
community how long arc you going to
tolerate the imposition Of such scandal
Gus events from the vendors Of liquid
damnation Is there to be no limit
to the vile traic =? Are the hundreds
Of young men men with families;
men whose lettering feet stand at the
verge Of the grave; the wives and
lrattling innocence Of childhood to
become the victims Of debauched
husband and father, through liberation
for business that in its every feature
is an outrage upon law; blot upon
decency; reproach to civilization ;
and scott at Christianity! Year by
year, month by month, week by week,
day by day, and hour by hour, in one
form and another have their internal
traic been furnishing family by family
with its living skeleton. Fathers,
mothers and wives, look about you !;
the flushed cheek, the poisonous fctid
breath the unsteady step of hus-
band, son, brother, plainly inter-
pretel, means simply this the loved
one is in the broad road, aud moving
on with accelerating pace to drunken
ness and infamy. Shall the current be
stopped before 1t draws within its vor-
tex the future man, the lawgiver, the
student, and instructor of the human
family, or viii you let its food rush
wildly past, leaving the good and pure,
debauchcd through its SHARES, and
, wrecked Oh its waves, scattered along
its fatal shore. We ask it as duty
from the town council, that all ordm-
ances tolerating the nuisance be repeal
ed, and that those engaged in the
accursed trafc be prosecuted for each
and every violation, until they shall
cease the practice of making paupers
for honest industry to SUPPORT; criminals
for the prisons and the gallows; and
outcasts and loafers t. infest the public
places and shock the reincments of
society, and the quiet Of its people.
Every business, trade, and profess
ION, in Cresoo, but law and ministry,
is furnishing its full quota. Men to
whom the young look for examples
worthy Of imitation and emulation,
spend their leisure hours in places
where they would blush to be found by
their wives and children? There is no
p!ac, SO sacred, but the moral poison
of the gin mill invades it :; nothing so
pure that it is not contaminated by its
touch. Shall the demon be arrested?
or will we continue to close our eyes to
his works Of ruin, debauchcry, and
crime, $, profuscly sown in our midst ?
Let them answer for the right, who

Hopeful View Of the Alabama Case.
1t has recently been ascertalned that the init.
alive steps in the Treaty OF washington began
year previous to the commencement OF the formal
negotiations in this city, and that preliminary notes
were. from time to time, sent to England for con.
sideration OF the British Cabinet, which suggested
such notifications as the case required. Finally
the letter from Sir Edward Thornton to Secretary
Fish and that In reply to 1t by the Secretary were
prepared, the one dated the 26th and the other
January So 1871, In relation to the appointment OF
JOINT High Commission. The fact Of the preliIni-
nary movements for q settlement of the questions
between the two countries had been privately CON-
municated to about twenty members OF the Senate,
VINO made no disclosures concerning 1t. NO Official
