THE LICENSE QUESTION.

1ue contest In OnlO over Ine
question of licensing the sale of liq-
uors has assumed a more definite
form than hitherto. Mr.. W. D.
Adair, of Carroll county, author of
the present liquor law in this State,
submitted to the Constitutional
Convention on Friday the following
proposition, which will be known in
future debates as proposition No.
2I5."
Sat the time when the votes of
the electors shall be taken for the
adoption or rejection of this con-
stitution, the additional section to
amend article Is of the constitution,
in the words following, to-wit: No
license to traffic in Intoxicating
liquors shall be granted in this
State, and ailpersons in any way
vending or disposing of Intoxicating
liquors shall be held liable for dam
age in civil action TO anyone injured
thereby, and may also be held in
criminal prosecution, and the sale
of intoxicating liquors shall be 9th
erwise regulated or prohibited, a
the General Assembly may provide,
shall be submitted to the electors for
adoption or rejection in form fol-
lowing, to wit: "a separate ballot
may be given by every elector, and
deposited in separate ballot box.
Upon the ballot given for said sepa-
rate amendment shall be written or
printed, or partly written or partly
printed, the words, License to sell
intoxicating liquors-Yes, and up
on the ballots given against said
amendment in like manner, License
to sell intoxicating liquors No.
If at the said election majority of
all the votes given for and against
said amendment shall contain the
words License to sell intoxicating
liquors-No.' then the said amend
ment shall be separate section OF
article Is of the constitution"
In other words Mr.. Adair propo-
ses to have the question of license
or no license submitted to sepa-
rate vote of the people. 1t has been
expected from the first that this
would be the method finally adopted
for securing full and fair express
sion of opinion concerning this i'm
portant question. No point at is
sue in the new constitution will pro-
yoke so much discussion and hard
feeling as this. The debate has al
. ready begun in the newspapers
throughout the State, and will prob
ably continue with constantly in
creasing feryor until the final and
decisive vote that will settle it until
, the next Constitutional Convention.
To many intelligent people the
proposition to license the LIQUOR
traffic ander strict and carefully en-
forced limitations seems a measure
2 Of a reform; to many others equally
intelligent it seems a lapse back
ward toward unrestrained drunken
ness, a league with Satan himself.

Moulton's Statement,
New YORK, Sept. !


Monlton's statement is to be pre-
sented this afternoon with fac smile
OF letters said to have been written
to him from Beecher, Mrs. Morse and
other persons. The document will
30 long. The Sun says the letters
from Beecher are not expected to add
much to the testimony against him.
One is written, enclosing a check,
and directing Moulton to use it at
bis discretion another is friendly
note, making an appointment; Beech
er sends his love to Mrs. Emma
MoultoD, and writes how dreadfuly
near the point she speaks sometimes.
One letter from Mrs. Morse Is to be
produced in which she addresses Mr..
Beecher as my dear son, and asks
aim to help her pay her rent, and
provide for herself through the win
ter. She refers to his, Beecher's,
secret, and says only six persons
know it. She writes of Elizabeth's
home troubles, and thanks Beeoher
for the deep consolation he affords
her daughter. Ths letter closes, sDo
you know I think it very strange
that you should ask me to call you
my son." A letter dated July %,
1874, is to be produced, and by it
Moulton intends to show that up to
that date Beecher had not felt harsh
towards him. even though he had
paid $1,000 black mail; the letter be-
gins, "My Dear Frank" and closes,
"Yours faithfully, Ell. W. B." The
Herald summarizes Moulton's state
ment thus: First, he shows that he
did render efficient counsel and aid to
Bsecher, and the publication of Ba-
con's letter averring, in that respect,
a wllful falsehood. Second, That he
was not a black-mailer, and that
Beecner was black-maller, in that
he availed himself of the power which
Tilton had over Mr.. Bowen to extort,
through Mr.. Clafiu, from Bowen, q
certificate of character. Sd. That
the devices to which he resorted were
Beecher's own suggestion, and he
made efforts to keep and save Beech
er. 4th. He gives, especially in
words the justification which Beecher
gave to him for his adultery with
Mrs Tilton, viz: this, that his physi-
cal expression of love was as natural
as the words of endearment he used
towards her. This, Moulton says,
was the first enunciation of the doc
trine of free love he had ever heard,
and it thereafter became deeply i'm
pressed ON his memory. 9Th. That
when he read to Beecher from a let
ter of Tilton to Bowen, on the charge
of rape made by Bowen, that Beech
er deemed it necessary to tell him
the truth, with reference to the
woman who was mentioned by MIR.
Bowen, Mr.. Beecher saying 81
didn't commit rape. Its true | had
intercourse with the woman. Mr..
Moulton said "You are on friendly
terms. You had better heave retrac-
ton, else you may be at Bowen's
mercy" Mr.. Bsecher did obtain the
best retraction he could, which ap-
pears in the statement. 1t appears
also from Mr.. MouIton's statement
that the efforts of General Butler
have been toward the safety OF Mr..
Beecher, in order to save him and
the courts from the shame that would
ensue from the publication of the
whole truth. He has never appeared
in New York on this question, except
at the suggestion OF Mr.. Beecher's
counsel.

No GOLD IN BLACK HILLS. 90 the
9Th inst. at meeting of the Mime
sofa Academy of Natural Sciences, in
Minneapolis, Prof. Newton H. Win
chell, State Geologist and Professor
OF Natural History in the State Uni
versity, who accompanied the Black
Hills expedition, somewhat dampened
the enthusiasm created by the late
glowing reports ofgold discoveries in
that region. He says he did not see
any gold, and no one brought home
what they thought to be collaborating
quartz, but on examination it was
found to be mica stained with iron.
He would mot go so far as to say there
was no gold there, but be saw none,
and it is his opinion that there is
none. He was led to disbelieve the
reports for another reason, viz: The
character OF the men who talked up
the expedition, and who induced the
government to explore the Black
Hills, would lead any one to distrust
their statements. No one but these
men pretended to have taken out any
gold, or to have seen any at sill worth
| speaking of in or near the Black
Hills. He said the country was
beautiful, the atmosphere salubrious,
and that there is plenty of arabic
land to support large population.
There was heavy growth of Nor
way pine aud abundant water pow
er. OF minerals he found gypsum
and valuable quarries of marble.

50 poor maiden in Penn,
whose years were beginning to pile
up unpleasantly, tried novel plan
of decsiving young man who occa-
sionally called at her house. There
was in the house an old family bible,
between the lids of which could be
found carefully kept record, show
ing ths date of all births, deaths and
marriages that had occurred in that
family for very many years. This
book our friend conveyed into her
own room, and after spending much
time and care, by the help of knife
and pen, succeeded in changing the
date OF her birth to eleven years lat
err. The bible she then laid on the
table in a conspicuous position and
awaited theyoung mans appearance.
He came, and seeing the book. began
to look over it's pages. Coming to
the f. miy record, he was consider
ably astonished to find that the lady
was one year younger than himself
when he had always thought her to
be much older but tracing the re-
cord little further, he made the as
tonishng discovery that her father
died ten years before she was born
according to the record. The young
man left the house feeling that he
had something to be thankful for.

Sad Results of Woman's Vanity

A heart-broken father sends the
following from Reading, Pa: "My
daughter, at the age of 10, last De-
cemoer, weighed 100 pounds. Since
then l have noticed a gradual falling

comparatively emaciated ; her GUS

she now weighs 115 POUNDS, having
lost forty-fve pounds 10 the short
spase of nine months, aud during the
entire time my wife or myself have
not known my daughter to be i'll a
single day. We were at loss to
account for this most singular change,
and after fully discussing the matter,
we determined to solve the mystery.
Our daughter al first evaded d.
rect answer, but she finally divulged
her secret. She says that on the 1st
of January she determined if posi-
BILE to reduce her weight.
"She was told by tortune-teller
to adrink strong vinegar in limited
doses before her meals three times q
day. This she foolishly did, and
continued 90 for months, Now she
is completely broken down in health,
dyspeptic, nervous, lethargic and
generally dispondent. Her color il
gone, her eyes dull, and all ambition
seems to have departed. She says

A NOVEL SENTENCE.--Ex-Gov!
burn, in his account Of his ma
tive town, Livermore, Maine, relates
the following: can Indian has kill
ed another of the same tribe at Roc
connect, who left an infrm and Grip
pied squsw. The murderer was arr
rested, tried and convicted, but in~
stead Of hanging him and thus maxi
ing a thoroughly useless corpse out
of what might be put to some advan-
tage, his judges sent him to support
and care for and wait upon the widow
of the slain Indian as long as she
should live. Vice President Hamlin
has often heard his mother-a daugh-
ter of Deacon Livermore-say that
she had many time seen the Indian
carrying the woman on his back or
hauling her on his hand sled. The
last of this tribe of Roccomocos died
at Lake Umbagog more than fifty
years ago"

A Novel Wedding Night i.
From the Menasha Press. ]

Out in the town of Harrison, Calu'
met county, and about IL miles from
Menasha, q wedding occurred but q
few weeks ago, the particulars oil
which we have just been told. The
daughter of prominent farmer was
united in the holy bonds of "knIght
of the plow and drill" whose exper-
fence 10 the affairs of life had been
sufficiently varied to post him on the
"tricks OF trade and under all cir
cumstances enable him to give "tit
for tat" Previous TO the happy
event, arrangements were all made
for q wedding tour of several days
duration. In due time the ceremony
was performed, and at proper
period the bride was conducted to
her chamber, and slowed in the con-
templated nuptial couch. The hap
py husband soon followed, and hav-
ing reached the door of the chamber
which contained his bride, raped
gently, but listened in vain for the
anticipated welcome. He knocked
again, more nervously than before,
but still no answer was heard. He
gently raised the latch; the door
was locked. He called to the little
mischief within, but she answered
him not; and he was finally com
PEELED to seek other quarters. How
he passed the night is not recorded.
At an early hour in the morning,
the carriage, which had been engag-
ed for the wedding tour, was driven
to the door, and our hero stole gent
~ down stairs, entered the carriage,

was soon out of sight. He did not

No. The Lexington Caucasian gives
an amusing account of the robbery
of tho mail coach near Lexinst on,
Mo-, by the celebrated James broth
ers, and one of the Youngers, it is to
be hoped the last survivor of that
accursed race. 1t will be remember
ed that one of these same Youngers
was killed, and another badly, if not
fatally wounded, in the fight with
Captain LulI and his party, where
Deputy Sheriff Daniels was also
killed, and Lull MORALLY wounded.
On this occasion, the James brothers
presented themselves, armed, at OPP
posits windows of the coach, while
the surviving Younger held the hors
es. they made the male passengers
get out and hand over their valua-
bles, and then rode off, remarking
that they would be seventy-fve
miles away before the pursuit began.
One of the lady passengers had been
acquainted with the robbers when
they figured as confederate guerillas.
She persuaded them to return some
of the plumber, and not to rob the
other ladies. This audacious robbery
took place in plain sight OF the city,
aud boat load Of passengers who
were crossing the ferry. A few peo-
pie who happened to be on the same
side Of the river, and who wandered
up, attracted by curiosity, were also
robbed. The Caucasian, which evil
IDENTIFY thinks it an honor TO Missouri
to have produced such daring out
laws, tries hard to prove that the
passengers were not towards, but as
some of them were armed, it seems
almost too thin.
