A recognized standard OF what consti-

quors is much needed. Courts and ply
sicans have long wuzzled at the ques-
tion in vain. 1t now seems that the
thing is to be put to rest ,. & the Secretary
of War is to have the glory Of settling
the question, in pursuance of recon-
mendatiOn OF congress. The House has
passed bill declaring that no etlicer OF
the amy addicted TO the intcmpe rate
use OF Intoxicating drinks, shall be enti-
tied to promotion, and cons equently the
Secretary will have to meet the question
fairly ilLthe face. This will establish the
army standard, and gauge-hberally we
suppuse-iust how much liquor may be
consumed without reaching the non-pro-
molten prohibition. A. member from
n. Y. Mr.. Roberts, suggested that the
same bill should include members of Con-

from an apprehension that the army
standard. might not be liberal enough for
members OF congvess or some osher rea.

The Cleveland Lake Tunnel, which
was four rhowsand feet from the shore in
1871, was then interrupted by the break
ing in OF the water. Work was then com
menced from the crib in the lake, where,
after four months, soft clay was met with
and hydraulic shield and press had to
be provided. In April, 1872, work was
again resumed, the soft clay was pressed,
and progress is now made at the rate of
about seventy feet per week. The work
done is four thousand feet from the shore,
and nine hundred and fifty feet from the
crib. About one thousand six hundred
and fifty feet remain to be cut through.

Victoria Woodruff has solicited Gen.
Butler to become her counsel in the in
dictment case OF publishing and circulat-
ing obscene matter through the mails.
Beast Butler, as the ladies of N :. Orleans
more spitefully than elegantly called him
wrote long and sympathetic letter to
the immaculate Victoria, in which he re-
grets that his duties in congress prevent
him from accepting her offer TO employ
him. Tie is of opinion that tlse arrest OF
herself and sister on this charge was 6as-
cd upon misconception OF The statute,
whiUh was only meant to cover llcentous
priHted matter and engravings, publish
ed with intent to circulate through the
mails to corrupt youth. Bmler says he
gives no opinion of the propriety, truth,
taste or morals of Mrs. Woodhull's pub
lieatioa regarding Messrs. Beecher and
Tilton, but if false, she may well be sued
for libel, which is the only Legitimate re-
dress that can be sought. In this lie
advises her to make Lo defense il tive
pending indictments, except as u mere
matter OF law.

REPUBLICAN, CoNyENToN.--The State
Central Committee met at Columbus on
the 18th ult. and decided to hold the
next State Conventions on the 0lst
Of May. Complaint having besa some
times made that the convention is held
during the session Of the Legislature, this
day was fixed upon to avoid this objec'
ton. Republicans from various parts OF
the state together with members OF the
Gen. Assembly met in caucus the same
evening 10 consider the political situa-
tion, and for deciding upon Programme
for the next campaign. Speeches were
made by Gov. Noyes, exit Gov. Lee
and others. A hopeful view was taken
of the political horizon and recommen-
tIa tfon of u concentrated effort urged as
all that is necessary TO insure success.
The Credit Mobilier scandal was re-
ferred TO by several of the speakers, rec
ognlzing the unfortunate situation OF
some Of our republican leaders, but ad'
vised suspension OF Opinien until the
Investigations were completed and guilt
or innocence proven. The guilty must
stand individually by the consequences
Of their folly, and while it is source OF
sadness, the Republican Party must &c
OH without them.
A circular issued by the State Execu
tive Committee, urging the Importance
OF securing majority in the COnstitu
tional Convention, was concurred i'll.

Vice-President Colfnx, and Mr.. Brooks as
Government Director of the Union Pacific, are
the only two impeachable officers affected by
the testimony of the Credit Mobilier Commit
tee. With regard to these, the judiciary Com
mittee OF the House report that the case
against Mr.. Brooks fails, as his office has long
since lapsed, and they question whether Vice
President Colfax can be impeache for misde-
meanols committed while not in Office. They
do not think his ownership OF Credit Mobiler
stock warrants his impeachment A minority
report by Mr.. Goodrich denies that en- officer
cannot be impcached for offenses committed
before his official career began.

TIM House Of Representatives voted on the
the both ult. upon Fernando Woods motion
to impeach Vice President Colfax. The vote
stood 1O0 yeas 100 nays, being defeated by
majority OF three, of whom two were prob
ably Ames and Brooks This was a rather
close vote, and indicates that the House is in
much sounder mood towards the Credit Mo-
biier members than was commonly supposed
Brooks and Ames might well tremble in their
shoes, If they did not understand this little
lullaby for the Injured people. There Is very
little intention, in our opinion, TO impeacl or
expel any body. The taut among them IS
too wide spread, and we fear that the devel-
opements of the present is not glimpse of the
present only, but, perhaps, an unfortunate
exposition of congressional weakness. But,
however this may be, this notion of Woods
is not q little ludicrous That his moral
sense should be shocked to such an extent as
TO feel constrained to be the agent and in
strument for arraigning one who is but a sharcr
with him III the same condemnation. The
farccal character of the proceeding, if our con-
lecture is right, is shown in pretty bold relief,
by the mover of such resolution, voting him
self against it.

AMUSEMENTS.

Owens Tonight, as Solon Shingle {"
and wellington De Boots"
There will be rare treat at the Academy
tonight. The great comedian, John E. Owens,
appears In several of bis best characters
among Them "solon shlngle" and major
Wellington De Boots." The drolery of both
is irresistible and yet 1t Is hard to Identify the
same individual In these two parts, which are
as unlike as 'FIlstaf" and "Claude Melnotte." )"
There Is different voice In each play, DIFF.
ferent face, different laugh, a different pair
of legs-in fact different man altogether.
.De Boots" is a sodierly. looking fellow, OF
fue statue, six feet two in his boots, while
"soon Shingle" is rather small specimen Of
a "down-east Yankee" about FIVE feet eight
inches in height and slender In proportion.
Owens ls not simply funny man upon the
stage, he Is humoret of very high order.
He does not content himself with the amount
of humor prescribed for him In the text, but
creates all the food for laughter that appears.
1t is not the funny thlngs that are said which
titlla,es the auditory, but the funny manner
la which they are said. The company ls said
to be an excellent one.

THE RIFLE CT U b 8.
Sumter Rifle Club.

Sumter HtHe Cluo.
A large and enthusiastic meeting OF the
Sumter Rifle Club was held last evening, In Its
hall on Hayne street, to consider the subject
of change in Uniform. The present uniform
of the club consists of gray biouse, trimmed
with green, black or white pants, according
to the season, and black Alpine hat with
green cord and tassel. The members became
dissatisfied with this sober attire, and feeling
that, as the spirit of the present hour called
ior more striking and attractive uniforms,
they could not afford to be behind hand 10 the
march of Improvement, they unanimously
determined to surpass oil other clubs that
have preceded them 10 action upon the SUBJ
iect: The dress adopted is the old cadet uni
form OF aute-oellum notoriety, which consists
Of double breasted swallow tall coat, with
black trimmings. and three perpendicular
rows of palmetto buttons upon the breast,
pray pants with black stripes, and gray fatigue
caps, resembling those now worn by the Pal
metto Guard Rifle Club. The officers will
wear frock costs, the trimmings OF which Will
be of gilt upon black ground. 1t ls safe to
say that In ils new uniform the club will be
one of the most conspicuous and pleas
ing In the city. The uniforms, excepting the
caps, will be made up by Mr.. George
Como. The caps will be ordered through
Messrs. johnson & Brown. The club also
unanimously accepted The Invitation OF the
German Rife Club 10 Jolu the schutzen parade
on the 2lst of April.
The anniversary of the sumters falls upon
the 18Th OF April, the anniversary Of the
surrender of Fort Sumter TO the Conlederates,
ln 1861. In view of The lact that the club Is
composed chiefly of young men who, being
engaged in merchanlie pursuits, would be
unable 10 End time for two parades taking
place Within one week OF each other, 1t was
deemed best to have no parade on the annl.
versary of the club, but Instead to celebrate
the occasion with supper.

The Irish Rifle Club also held meeting last
evening aL lis hall, corner King and George
streets, and unanimously accepted the invita-.
