The cause OF temperance is Just now
shaking up tho better nature of this
land. Recently, through the Legisla-
turc Of the State Of Mississippi, away
down where the great crime of slavery
has for centuries spread it's bsneful
influence, there has come i law
which, il public opinion can be only
warmed up to sustain it, will be .
wonderful lever for great good. The
Legislature, for the first time, SO far
as we now rccollect, has assigned to
the ladies--the greatest sufIerers--a
controlling place in the operation Of
the law. They are given the veto
power, and the question is, will the
tender sensibilities, the ready intui.
best means to guard the home circle
over which she presides, fail to sieze
upon and utilize the opportunity.
We have not seen the text OF the
law, but we learn from very reliable
source that the main features OF it
ere as follows:
The measure Is one of those famil-
iarly termed "local option" laws, with
: new, and We must say, glorious adj
denda to it. 1t provides that it shall
he within the power Of any city or
township TO cay whether there shall
be licences issued or not, according o.
. majority of the legal voters shall
decide. This is the local option fsa-
ture. Then to this is appended the
following veto power: Before : IL.
cense can issue to retail intoxicating
liquors in any township or city ma.
jority Of the men over twenty one
years Of age, and of women over
eighteen years, must sign . petition
TO be presented therefor. Here is q
new feature of the rights of women
in regard to this most trou blesome
question Of the traffic in liquor.
We recognize in the women of the
land the greatest source Of moral re-
formation. Men are, in the turmoil
of business life, thrown into associs-
tons and under restraints and influ.
ences which benumbs their finer
senses, or rather quiets the protests of
conscience. Not so with women.
They are by nature, by association,
and by sad experience, from being
more or less dependent upon fathers,
husbands, aud brothers, better adapted
to decide the line Of demarcation IN the
use and the sale Of intoxicating Ii
quOrs than are men. n. Mgss,t v y

summers Unaei,verea speech

| The New York Tribune has pub.
lished speech prepared by the Hon.
Charles Sumner against the President,
at the time of their difference In the
conduct Of foreign affairs, resulting In
the recalling Of Mr.. Motley as Minis.
ter to England, the removal Of Mr..
Sumner from the craftsmanship ofthe
Senate Committee on Foreign rela.
tions, and the bitter fight Of Mr.. Sum-
ner on the San Domingo question.
That speech Mr.. Sumner suppressed
through the advice Of his best friends.
and, doubtless, the promptings also Of
his own cooler judgment. At the
time of that contest between the Pres.
ident and his Secretary Of State. Ham.
il'on Fish, with Mr.. Summer, we be.
iieved from good and reliable data.
which we could not gainsay, that the
President exhibited the utmost concil.
iation, patience and forbearance, and
made all reasonable cndeavors to ad
Just and compromise their differences.
We are fully satisfied, further, that the
obliging, friendly advances made BY
the President, entirely honorable and
just in their character, were trcat.
ed with naughty dignity, bordering
upon contempt, by the recently de.
ceased and distinguished Senator.
This view 10, to our mind, conclusively
proven, when Republican Senators.
notwithstanding their great ana wen.
deserved love and respect for their
eminent associate, were finally
obliged, in strict justice, and for The
common good, to never the Gordon
knot BY retiring Mr.. Sumner from the
place which he had 90 long and
so ably filed. II IL often the case
that the dead might well be sup
posed to wish to return to earth long
enough to say. "savc me from my
friends," or, at least, their reputed
iriehas. we cannot but regard this
case as ono of them. Let him who
committed NO errors cast the flrst
stone, aud with this kindly feeling,
which is most just and proper, the
President and the nation stood around
the open grave of the world renowned
statesman in unfeigned sorrow, giving
out words of deep regret and sincere
praise. How weak il is, and may We
not say, how pusillanimous it is, for
any one to sieze upon such an .oppor.
tanity to strike at the living through
the lips Of the dead, those lips, which
in life, had declined to utter the sting.
ing words now given to the public.
The nation 10 not now ina mood to
make il seemly for the accused to enter
into an elaborate defense, If such
course were necessary. It 10, therefore,
both cowardly and dastardly act
to publish the speech at this, time,
and because it is such it may be con-
sidered, perhaps, as bearing along
with its publication it's best antidOte.

Or rather two of them, both involv-
ing the same legal question, are now
before the Supreme Court Of this
State, touching the constitutionality Of
our railroad tax law. This law was
passed in 1872, and II provides for the
State Executive Council to TX a valu.
alton per mile on the roads in the
State, and from this valuation, az q
basis, the counties, cities. and various
subdivisions of territory, having,
through their officers, power to levy
taxes, are to make such levy according
TO the number of miles Of railroad
within their limits. This deprives
cities, for instance, from making any
levy of taxes upon depots, round
houses and other improvements with.
in tLeir limits, and 50 it is claimed,
takes from them by statute q clear
constitutional right; hence the claim
OF the unconstitutionality of the law.
The railroad tax law Of 1870 was de-
clared unconstitutional for rcasons
which involved to cert.in degree,
the same point now raised against the
present law. The taxes against the
railroads under the law OF 1870 were
lost, as they are now likely to be un-
der the present law.
The law now in force, was passed
with the consent and aid Of the rail.
roads, coupled with the assistance Of
the members Of the Legislature out
side ofthc large cities. because the val.
ne of large permanent improvements
in cities went into the valuation by
the mile Of railroads, and hence the
rural districts got the benefit of il,
while the cities were deprived OF the
clear right of taxing permanent and
real property within their own limits.
The cities, of course, fought the bill,
but were out numbered and beaten.
II the Supreme Court should now sus-
tain the decisions Of the two District
Judges, who, in deciding the two
cases above named, declared the law
unconstitutional, we stand = chance Of
again losing taxes which have accreud
hereunder. ~

The most impressive qualification

The DOG BARRY.-There is in the mn.
scum at Berne an object which attracts
universal attention from visitors. 1t is
only the skin of rough, hairy dog. stuffed
and set up so as to look as natural as life
But the dog has had history.
His home was the Convent of St. Rer-
nard away on the Alpine summit. There
IN pleasant weather he was wont TO roll
about and play in the porch with his fell
lows, as jolly as any dog. But when the
storms came on. and the rough weather
set In, Barry nerved himself for the Sc
rlous business of life. With little basket
OF meat and drink tied upon his neck, and
"a warm blanket strapped on his back, he
SET out IN search of lost travellers in those
fearful passes. Never fall of snow so
heavy or fog SO thick but Barry could
md his way, and his keen scent would dis
cover travellers at a great distance. If
they were not too benumbed to walk. the
noble fellow refreshed them with the food
ne brought, and gladly parted with his
warm cloak, and went bounding joyfully
onward to show them the way If they
we're fast sinking into Inconsistencies, he |
would warm them with his breath and |
ongue, pull at their clothes, and if all his
.fforts to arouse them failed, he would
lash off for other help. Forty poor wan
!erers owed their lives to noble Barry.
surely he has earned warm, comfortable
ome in the valley, when his age of SER
ice was over, and this honorable niche in
he museum when his shortlife was ended.
here he stands, with bottle and collar
bout his neck, as if ready to start on his
ID mission. Some people live through a
hole life, and never accomplish so much

1t Is bitter shame that they need it.
