TME WHISKY CRuaAnn.

The in,fable meannesa exhi bited BY
some Of the liquor dealers in Knoxville
and Chattanooga in furnishing supplies of
whisky aud money to one Of the saloon
keepers at Greeneyille surpasses anything
OF the kind that has occurred since the
crusade was inauguratcd, Not satisfied
With carrying on their nefarious tra6c and
bringing misery and ruin into the house
holds Of their immediate neighbors. fsar>
ing the influence q triumph of good morals
would exert in a ~roighboring town which
Ia struggling to FREQ itself from the curse
Of iutoxicatiOu, they needs. must support a
falling dramseller by furnishing. that
which a lack OF custom could no longer
afford. But We predict the result of this
species Of warfare will be contrary to
what they expect. 1t is plain to every
thinking mind that they do not act
through sympathy with Mrs. Ward but
through fear of the moral effect Of a tri-
umph on the part Of the reformers ;and if
it is to be a fight of that nature, men and
women who have the real interests of So
ciety at heart will not be long in choosing
which side they will espouse. In attempt,
ing to force a supply of the intoxicating
fluid upon a people who are earnestly stri.
wing to rid themselves of it, they have
thrown down the gauntlet Of defiance and
created an issue which the moral and res
ligious element of the country can not
afford to leave uncontested. If it is to
be a question of morality against immo>
r~ality-ofa~ dangerous and useless element
against the moral welfare Of the country,
then the sooner we N the war
the better. II remains to be seen which
is the stronger, the more influential, the
more wealthy, the more determined Of
the two.
We rejoice TO hear that the noble self

right course to bring about just such a
state of affairs, and if we mistake not the
signs of the times, they may look out for
an early attack from q source they are
powerless to resist. "

Value or Punctuation.

WHAT A MISPLACED COMMA DID,
The comma (,) that little dot which
a very insignificant thing to the eye, some.
times plays an important part in language.
Though the rules for its use, like Its 10
l~atives, are somewhat obscure, neyerthe,
less its function in some cases is very clear
and of considerable moment, as has been
discovered il a law of Congress passed in
1872. In the tariff bill which went iaa
effect that year there was a large addition
to the free list, and among the articles
added were "fruit plants, tropical and
somi,tropical," designed to encourage
their importation and cultivation. But
in the process of engrossing or transcrih
ing the bill to be officially printed, a CON.
ma was i~nterpolated between fruit and
plants, whereby all fruits were put on tho
free-list. The customs officers, if they
minded their p's and q's," did not mind
the comma, and went on collecting The
duties. At length some lynx-eyed iu>
porter discovered the comma, and demand.
ed that it should lie recognized. and The
customs officers had to stand Oh the order
of Prosody and pass fruit free. The 70.
suit has been, that about So, OO0,0 900 have
been illegally collected through this in
te%rpolated comma, at which Uncle San
will have to stop and count more than ono
and refund. The ways and Means Com
mittce will report a bill to expunge tho
comma, and thus remand fruit back otN
list of dutiable articles. This will provo
q most expensive comma.-Sat~dd

co MMUNICATIONS

Messrs Editors.--I see in this weeks
number of your paper a communication
signed claiborne" in reference to Judge
Buffers claim for Congress, and l was So
forcibly impressed with the truth of many
things in the article that | hope you will
not consider it out of place for me to add
a word or two on the same subject. / am
glad to note what I believe to bo the
dawn of a new and better era in the
political world. The masses are fully
aroused on the subject of displacing dis.
honest and incompetent men and supply,
ing their places with men in whose hon,
esty OF purpose and integrity of character
they ~canHon6de. Something more substan.
tial will be expected of men who aspire 10
place and power in the future, than sim
ply that they have been noisy devotoes Of
one or the other of the two great political
parties. Some such questions as these will
be asked, hcreafter,o of men who seek places
Of honor and trust at the hands Of the PEG.

cts that didn't rightfully belong to him ?
Has he used money to muzzle newspaper
prasses2 Has lie packed conventions
through money and the influence of men
holding positions through him? Has he
given orders to liquor dealers to let voters
have ardent spirits on his credit Has he
used money outright in buying votes?
Has he made promises to different men to
have them appointed to the same Office if
they would support him and then give
the Office to neither of them? / AMI
thinking were these questions p%ropounded
by the people to Judge Butler and we're
he to answer them truly as God knops
the truth, he would never dare to ask the
honest people of the First District to send
him to Congress. If he cannot give a fa>
vorable and satisfactory answer to these
interrogations is he fiji to represent this or
any other district in the Congress Of this
great nation?
That Judge Buffers political escut-
cheon is stained all over with the darkest
deeds of corruption is fact with which
the people are perfectly familiar. 1t is
but a short time since he came within two
votes Of being expelled from the United
States Congress, and that too By q Re.
PUBLICAN Congress. The Government
through him offered a free military educa-
ton to some deserving young mar in his
district and instead of bestowipg it as he
ought, he sold it for money and put the
money in his pockets. Was this cadet,
ship his to sell? Was the money he got
for it his money? What was this trans
action? The horny,handed ycomanry Of
the country are thinking of these things
and the coming summer will stir such a
storm O honest indignation around Judge
Buffers head as be never witnessed | ssore.
