Certain New York journals who Toasted on
the liberaity of Tweed when he was in pow
or in New York city, are now quite valiant in
their denunciation of the attempt of his coun-
sci to lbcrate him legally. 1t is very certain
that while Tweed may have been the leader
of the official gang of democrats who robbed
the tax payers of that city, he was only one
OF large number, and he has displayed, dur
ing his confinement. toward his associates in
in crime course of csnduc. that should
rather commend him to their praise and graf
itude than censure.- Wash. Chroniele.

There is a gloomy prospect ahead for Pitts

the closing of all the furnaces and rolling
mills, throwing 80, 600 to 1000 men out of
employment, and stopping the distribution of
81 900 900 week in wages. The reduction
of wages proposed by employers was not very
great; but the puddlers could not stop to
discuss the question; they determined on the
strike at once.

The late election 10 Louisiana reveals the
sad fact that more than three-fourths of the
voters cannot write their names. While the
greater part of this iliteracy belongs to the
negroes, in some sections the whites make a
bad show. In st. Landry it is discovered
that LIS white voters, or onc-half of the
white voters of the parish, were unable to
sign their names, and that ,40G, or five sixths
of the negroes, were unable to write. The
total amounts to three fifths of the voting pop
ulation of the parish. The N. o. Picayune
says at timely moment; "If our prosperity
is to be lasting, it will not do to hide any OF
these troubles. There will have to be some
determined action on many questions, and on
this question in particular"

TIE Montreal Star, in long editorial on
the mortality of that city gives statistics from
of deaths in eleven months to be $500. of
which SCI were from smallpox. This is only
for the city proper. Outside the limits there
have been l,029, of which 1879 we're from
smallpox. This makes the death-rate of
Montreal forty-six per thousand more than
New York, and twice as heavy as London,
England. The Star concludes by calling on
the Catholic clergy to advocate vaccination,
in opposition to the French doctors. a number
ofwhom recently met at the residence of DIR.
Coderras, and formed an anti-compulsory
vaccination league. The object is to oppose
by every legal means the operation of the law
on this subject, and agitate its repeal.

collector, assessors and citizens of the city

the words following:
"By compelling us to pay taxes, and holding
US amenable to laws that we have no voice in
making, you place us in a political scale low
er than Foreigners and Negroes, and class us
with Indians, Criminals and Idiots.
BY taking our property for taxes without

TAX on MARRrAGE.-They have just
had debate in the Virginia Legisla-
ture, as we had in the Maryland Legis-
lature some days since, on fixing a fee
for marriage licenses, or ''raising reve-
nue. at the expense of morality and vir-
tue" as one of the Virginia members
put it, which, by the way, suggests this
question Is it not as well to do that
as to raise revenue by licensing vice, as
our civilized and Christian communities
generally do One member asked
whether matrimony could not be taxed
as a business, and whether the proceeds
of such business might not be reached :!
to which another responded that it was
not proposed to tax it as business but
as privilege. In reply to the argu-
ment that many were too poor to pay
the tax-S2.5O was the amount propos-
edit was answered that man too
poor to pay the tax was too poor to get
married. But old Virginia held on to
her ancient ways and struck the item
from her tax bill. Maryland likewise
holds to her time-honored practice, and
still charges $3.50 for the blessed privi-
lege.-Balio. Sun.

The flashes Of excitement produced by the
srimulants ia ordinary use, are followed by
reaction that is always more or less inJurl-
Gus. Just as the darkness, illuminated for
moment by the lightning's glare, becomes aP-
parentIy blacker than ever after The dash is
over, so the mental gloom and physical debli-
" that vanish temporarily under The influence
of dram, return with ten-fold intensity
when the first transient effect ceases. Yet
physicians habtually subscribe The liquors OF
commerce for patients suffering from bodily
weakness and mental dependency. The true
remsdy in such cases is pure stlmulanl med
cated with the finest tones and alternatives
which the vegetable kingdom affords, and Hos
tstler's Stomach Bltters IS tho only pTepara-
ton al present known which thoroughly meets
the emergency. The effect OF this popular
restorative is continuous. Each dose taken
invigorates the vital energies and the brain,
and its prolonged use will unquestonably cure
any case CT debility, hypochondria, or mental
torpidlly that dots not arise from organic
causes beyond the reach Of medicine. 1t IS,
in the strctest sense Of the word an nyigora-
ting and regulating cordial. Ii the nerves are

bowels are constipaled, it relieves them; II the
liver is torpid, il promotes activity IN that or

slow and painful operation, II creates relish
for food aud enables the stomach 10 convert It
into healthful aliment. Moreover, it is spe-
ci6c for large number Of ailments, some Of
which are particularly prevalent in the damp
and chilly weather which we so often expert
ence in mid winter. Among these may be
mentioned rheumatism, chlls and fever aud
all the morbid conditions the dige tive and

changes Of temperature and the inclemencies

LIQUOR LICENSE-At the in
stance of number of persons living 10
different parts of the county, meeting
will be held in Charlestown on Thurs
day night, April 23d, 1874, for the pur-
pose of considering the alleged increase
of drunkenness through the violation Of
the Liquor Law of the State, and also
for the purpose of taking measures to
ascertain the sense of the county upon
the question of licensing places to sell
intoxicating liquors for other than me
dicinal purposes, as now provided forby
law.
THE above call is made by large
number Of the most respectable citizens
of Charlestown and other parts of the
county, who have entered into the mat
ter with determination that something
must be done. The question is an I'M
portant one for the consideration of all
classes, and will no doubt attract con-
siderable attention. = Spirit.

GENERAL FIrzHUeH LEE.-General
Fitzhugh Lee, through Senator John
son, has petitioned Congress Tor the
removal of his political disabilities. His
petition states that he graduated from
West Point in 1856, and served on the
frontiers of Texas. During this service
he was twice published by General
Scott in general orders for gahanlry in
battle, and was severely wounded in an
encounter with the Indians. He further
saws, Il resigned my commission In
the United States army in 1861, being
at the time on duty as instructor OF cav
alry At West Point, My father, S. S.
Lee, of the navy, and my uncle Il. +.
Lee, of the army had previously re-
signed. My resignation was duly &C
cented by the War Department. (before
7 accepted other service,) which placed
me upon the basis Of any other citizen
of Virginia"

RI- TIE WAR UPON WHIsxY.-The
following is from the Baltimore Gazette.
We think it may be pro6tablypondered
not only by Archbishops, but by Bish-
ops, Elders, Deacons, AID the people
generally. Dr. Holland is editor OF
Scribner's Monthly, and accounted the
ablest writer of popular literature in
the country -
Leuer ia Reply 10 archbishop Pur-
ceR.-New York, March 2l.-Dr j. w.
Holland has written a letter in reply TO
a recent circular of Archbishop Purcell
on the existing temperance movement
among women. He asks "What, In
Gods dear name, WAS there left for
them to do, but just what they are do
ing p and adds 'If the leaders of the
Christian Church had done their duty,
and the leaders of State and National
politics had done theirs, there would
not be dram shop to-day between
Canada aud the Gulf. The whole bust
ness has been left to God and the wo-
men, and the latter are praying in the
churches and on the street, and pushing
on their divine and peaceful crusade be-
cause the men of America have failed to
10 their duty. Shall a Christian man,
in high station or low, lift his voice
against them !?
DIR. Holland quotes the Scripture
against the Archbishop's quotations,
and, in the closing paragraph of his re-
ply to that prelate, says: | tremble 10
think of the stumbling block which you
in your circular have placed before the
tempted and deceived There is not q
whiskey-mill in the Union which does
not stand firmer on its foundation II
consequence of it. There is not awhls
'ly-seiler in the country who does moi
approve of it, and feel easier in his bust
ness because of it. There is no clergy
man who INDUCES in wine, to the de
struction OF his influence as a temper
ance man, who does not see in 1t his JUS
LITIGATION. There is no young man jus
beginning a course of dissipation wh'
does not find his downward steps easier
for it. All those who respect and re
we're the temperate practices of your llt'
are grieved by it. You have made
mistake, which you can hardly rectif.
in lifetime. Your influence has beer
given to the wrong side in this contro
versy between the powers of light anC
the powers of darkness. You have Civ
en- strength to the forces ORGANISED
against national purity AID morality.
1t is due, however, to the Archbishop
10 saw that he denounces the saloons II
rs unmeasured terms as any Temper
ance lecturer that ever mounted a ros
trum. He calls them "Spiracula Ditis-
those craters of hell by which our city
is in peril of combustion" He also
speaks of 1.-The low disreputable saloon
keepers but he little considers how
little they care for denunciations, so they
are not stopped, and he is trying to stop
those by whom they have been more
cffectually stopped than by any other
agency heretofore employed.
