" A.
= THE Hon. John M. Francis, late
Minister to Greece. writes to his paper,
he Troy Times, about the drinking
habits of Europe. He says that in
France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and
Greece, where the consumption of wine
is very great, there is farless drunken
ness than in Great Britain or the
United States. His opinion is that the
substitution of mild wine for the wits
key SO generally drank here would be
a reformatory agency in checking in
temperance. The result of his per-
sonal observations in Spain was that
wine shops met him at every turn, but
he rarely saw drunken man. Outside
of the Englishand American colonists
he knew of very little drunkenness in
Paris. In Germany he witnessed a
tremendous flow of lager, but believes
the proportion of confirmed inebriates
there does not equal one to twenty of
the same class here. In Russia liz
uor stronger than our worst whisky is
used with bad results, and ia Great
BritIin the evil somewhat: approaches
its extent in the United States. Glas-
gov was the most drunken city he saw
abroad. q ti-'E''a b.i 7H slhi ''i

chanical execution of the book is well

endorsement of Chief Justice Mich

we'll as a number of lawyers who had
examined the manuscript before going
to the printer. There is not a doubt
that IT is valuable law book and should
be in the library of every lawyer. A
number of gentlemen, lawyers and
non-professional men, friends of the
compiler, met him at the bookstore
of his publishers yesterday afternoon
TO congratulate him upon the success
full completion of his work, and to ex
press the hope that it may not only
bring him fame, but something more
tangible. And if their wishes avail

THE multiplicity of suggestions as
to how candidates for county offices
shall be selected, it seem to us, tend
to mystify rather than enlighten the
popular mind. Primary elections fall
ed, in the last canvass, but only because
some of the voters forfeited their
pledges. A square old fashioned Cen
vention is no security against boilers
and until the people observation-disclosures
and integrity enough to manage their
own affairs, no remedy can besuggested,
because there is no other cure for the
indifference and folly to which are due
all our political ills. No better plan
has ever been suggested than con-
vention chosen by the people, and if
its decisions will not bind the voters,
it is folly to rely upon any other plan
men who feel that there is no moral
obligation in politics, can be held TO
their duties by no considerations of
party honor, or patriotic love of cOun-
try. He who would, by his selfish am
bition, promote the success of Radi-
calism, is worse enemy to his eOun-
try than the foulest Radical-the lat
ter can be met as an avowed enemy
the former is an enemy under the cover
of friendship.

A SPECIAL to the st. Louis Times
dated at Washington the 18th inst,
says:
This Congress seem to regard their
presence in Washington in the light of
an attendance upon carnival where
they are to eat. drink and be merry, go
iunketing on the invitation and at the
expense of subsidized corporation,
who are LAYING their plans to ask Con-
gress to restore their increase of sub
sidy which they have forfeited by their
own laxness. to loaf about the city re-
ceiving the adulation of snobs and lob
byists, to do anything except work: and
there is absolutely no disposition shown
to attend to their business. In the
House their conduct has become to be
simply disgraceful.

ing in JANUARY. 1873, at an average for
that month of 1S.42c gold per pound,
closed IN December with an average of
2388c gold per pound - In like man.
ner, Maraeaibo and sI.aguayra opened
at II .83c and closed at 25c; and Java
at 20.96c, closing at 30.S3c. The steady
advance was the legitimate result of
the old but ever true law of supply and
demand. The, worlds consumption
had gained on the worlds supply, and
the general stocks at the principal
depots of the world were being re-
duced. Thefacts which led merchants
to accept this view of the subject were
we'll known to every intelligent student
of the statistics which have from time
to time been placed before them
through these columns. But these
very facts, illustrating as they do the
wonderful equilibrating power of mod
ern progress in the use of steam and
electricity, should have had the effect
of quietlng that spirit of speculation,
innate in every age and country, but
which must ultimately disappear before
the clear light of knowledge. This
time would be rapidly fastened if our
information concerning the results of
agricultural processes kept pace with
the advances made in the systelnatizing
of commercial operations. For all the
speculations which We have so recent
ly witnessed in the coffee market NAV
be traced directly to our ignorance
concerning the. actual supply of Bra
lillian coffee. If there was direct tele-
graphic communication between New
York and Rio, and if Brazil could APP

of its coffee crop as we can of our cot.

merchants now possess of informing
themselves concerning the supply and
demand, such an excitsd market as We
have just passed through could never
occur. As it was, the prime movers
| in the speculation have demonstrated
their utter inability to compel large
dealers to participate in their schemes
| for fleeing the trade, because the Large
dealers themselves knew that the re,
tail trade was too well posted to make
it successful, and hence they very
properly declined to help carry heavy
loads of high priced coffees. We use
high priced relatively. As we said il

remain SO comparatively for some
time but the prices to which Brazi
coffees were recently forced in this mar

THE Democratic dogma -rotationin
office-has resulted. Ike all otherer-
ronepus doctrines. in mischief rather
than good. That one man has as much
right to Office as another, IL, as civil
rights proposition, strictly true; but
We hold that no man has a right to
Office, morally considered, unless he
is fully competent to discharge its du-
ties. True, it devolves upon the peo-
pie to decide the question of compe-
tency, and that such decision is often
very erroneous, still there is no appeal
except to the high court of public JUS
tice and intelligence which has not
been in session for many years. Off
ces were instituted as agencies for the
promotion of the general welfare, and
to place in them incompetent men, is to
give to ignorance, or corruption pow
er for mischief never contemplated by
those who fashioned our Institutions.
Another evil resulting from the doc
trine of rotation in office, is the indef-
mite multiplication of candidates.
Each man, stretching the doctrine to
cover his own case, contends that it is
his time next, and to vindicate his
right to the succession, will bolt con-
ventions and violate all the rules of
party discipline regardless of the inju-
~ done. This same doctrine invites
all who despise honest labor for an
honest living, to seek, in some office,
the couch of ease and afiluence upon
which to stretch his lazy bones, and
laugh at the quality of the populace
who place him there. But why not
rotate professorships in schools of art
and learning, and in all yocations de-
handing skill and experience Be-
cause it requires long course of train
ing to fit men for such positions, but
anybody can fill federal, State, or
county Office, and if he fills it badly,
nothing is at stake save the well being
of the community that trusted him
not even his securities suffer from his
malfeasance. 1t never occurs to the
voter that he who has proven himself
competent official is the man for the
place-rotation is the the doctrine, and
new broom sweeps cleanest. no mat
ter who handles it. stFrF

1t is now said that q man can travel
from GAINESVILLE to Cincinnati in a
much shorter time than he can come
from the former place to Nash
vile, and all this on account of the want
of accommodations between Nashville
and Clarksville. 1t seems that the
only recourse Nashville and Clarks-
vile have for remedy, is in the
construction of the proposed mar
row gauge railroad, which will place
them in direct communication with
each other. The route has already
been surveyed, and 1t is said
the road can be constructed and put in
active operation at comparatively
small cost.-Nash. Banner, w..
