THE records of the Internal Revenue
Bureau show that the late temperance
crusade affected but very slightly the
consumption of liquor in this country
During March last, when the crusade
was at its height, the special tax on
liquor sales was but eight thousand
dollars less than for the same month Of
1873, but the excitement evidently
made the distiIlers fear its effects, for
the production of liquors during March
was less by eighty thousand gallons.
The receipt from both producers and
sellersOf liquor since March havestead-
ily increased, and now nearly reach the
old limit

UNDER the currency act, S678,000 Of
national bank notes were received at
the United States Treasury yesterday,
to be redeemed in greenbaeks. The
principal demand for such redemption
at Washington is likely to come from
banks that find themselves in possess
sion of an overplus of bank notes, while
their legal reserves are short.

Two men Shot.
YANKTON, ID. T., July l0.-AbOut six
miles north of this place yesterday evening,

suited from a claim made by both parties
for the grass growing upon the school land.
Hackenberg's wife was driving their ma
chine and cutting the grass, when Kittrige
also commenced moving and refused TO
leave, whereupon she informed her hus-
band who, armed with revolver attack
ed Kittridge and shot him once in the left
breast and again in the head. He then rode
to where a man named Larned was work
ing, and demanded the payment of some
money. This being refused, HackenbeIg

neck. shoulder and foot. HackenbeTg I'M
mediately took Larned's best horse and
rode eff. He has not been discovered,
though parties are securing the country in
all directions. There had been a long

Of the intimacy of the former with the
latter's wife.

PARIS, July 10.-In the Assembly this

| question TO Gen. Cissey: Whether it is
! tciaimed for the President Of the Republic
that he denies the right Of The Assembly 10
determine whether the law of the 10Th of
November, lST3, is irTeyOcable or not; and,
also, if it is denied that the President is re-
spOnsible to the Assembly? On motion of
Gen. Cissey debate on this interpolation
was postponed until the constitutional
bills come up for discussion.
1t is officially stated that citizens Of the
United States will be permitted to enter
France from any direction, without show
ing passports, but they must be prepared to
prove nationality when required.

y. Deputies should be elected for the
separate ACCOMPLISHMENTS instead Of the de-
partments, for it was necessary to keep in
mind the possibility Of dissolution Of the
Assembly.
,. In the creation Of the second chamber

President should be empowered to nOmi-
nate a considerable proportion Of its men,

>. The Government insist that power be
given to the President tOdissolve the Lower

The Legitimists are iTitated by the

has been written in vain if the story be
true that France intends to present
before the International Congress at
Brussels charges against Germany for
the burning of Peltre, the pillage of
St. Avoid, and other incidents Of the
war of 1870. Ample materialfor coun-
ter-charges were furnished by the men
who afterwards figured in the Com

As we anticipated, the Civil Rights
issue is not confined to those counties
where the blacks are so numerous that
a few hundred whites would turn the
scales in their favor. 1t is spreading
from county to county, developing in
unexpected localities and betraying an
organized purpose. The Jackson COu-
ricr-Herdld has the following in evi-
dence:
The Republican candidate for the
Legislature in Henry county Is Viii
liam Haynes. in a speech at the court
house in Paris, few nights since, he
took strong grounds in favor Of civil
rights, and said the Republicans were
thoroughly organized and determined to
win. if success was at all possible. He is
a negro without education, intelll-
gence or any culture whatever. The
strenth Of his party in Henry county
is only about six hundred, and he can
certainly have no hope Of success, eX-
cept through a multiplicity Of Demo-
cratic candidates. The speech he made
is not his own, and is but a reIteratlon
of the ideas advanced at the Nashville
colored convention sometime since.
The key-nOte OF the campaign WIS
struck, there, and the colored orators
from now until the ides IF November
will but re-echo the instructions there
received. They speak Icy card, as 1t
were.
