WoRcEsrER, MASS, March 2o.-The
crusade on the liquor dealers has as
assumed very unexpected phase and
suddenly burst forth with the enthusiasm
of the Western campaign. Three bands
OF women, twelve in each band, com
menced a crusade this morning and
visited a number of saloons, holding
prayer meetings and singing. A large
crowd followed. From names obtained
to pledge there are no concessions from
the dealers. The movement will be con-
tinued till all Ike bar-rooms are visited.
CHICAGO, March 20.-Mayor Calvin
signed the ordinance allowing saloons
to do business on Sunday, thus putting
an end TO the hopes Of the friends OF
temperance. The ladies continue active
ly holding meetings, and had a general
gathering last evening of committee
of ladies from various churches appoint
ed to present plan for permanent or

announced for the temperance mass
meeting Monday afternoon. Among
the speakers will be Bishop Foley, Rev.

Postofice Department, assisted by sew
eral officers, succeeded late last night in
arres;ing negro named Anderson Har-
ris, employed as mail driver by CAREER
& Co. Three large packages we're found
on his person containing drafts, checks
money orders, etc., destined for Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York and other
Northern cities. A search of his quar-
tiers made at late hour revealed the
fact that enormous thefts have been
practiced.

TpuE REroRM BEGINS AT HOME.

The Union and American of yesterday
has considerable to say of Shelby county
affairs. We condense the article as
follows: ut is needless for US to repeat
that the Democratic sentiment OF the
State is in favor of the lowest rate OF
taxation that economy and retrench-
ment can bring about, consistent with
the plighted honor ofTennessee. These
fellows seek to raise an issue where
there is no issue, aHd to prevent harmo-
NOUS action among men who all THINK
alike on this identical topic. There IS
not an honest taxpayer in the State
who does not desire as low taxation as is
consistent with the State credit. That
the present assessment laws are obJee-
tionable in some features and capable OF
improvement, is universally admitted
and we have freely given our columns to
the discussion Of amendments. Whether
such improvements as experience ana
public opinion demand, are more likely
to be obtained from Democratic or a
Radical Legislature, does not admit OF
debate. Whether low taxes are more
likely to result from a continuance OF
Democratic rule, or from a restoration
Of Radicalism, is equally plain. There
fore our people can not afford to run
the risk of reviving Brownlowism.
Why do not these gentry twho advocated
twenty cents) go for reducing the city
taxes in Memphis to something under
four per cent. upon all the taxable prop
erty of the city? Or let them be con-
sistent, and go in for repudiating the
city debt Of Memphis; for it is this and
the county debt Of Shelby that give those
people high taxes, We believe the real
object Of these men is not to reduce
taxation, but to divide the Democratic
marty in the State and place the Radi-
Gals in power. If they were true re-
formers, they would begin at home. We
think it eminently advisable to expose
such marlpots, who seek thus early to
dash the hopes of harmony bred by the
Bartlett meeting in Shelby" We hope
our cotemporary will give itself no fur
Their trouble on account of the repudia-
tons of Shelby county. There is not
corporaIs guard Of them, all told. We
only know of three out of abeut 10000
voters, and they can neither bear " the
price of bonds nor bear the cnrreat Of
public opinion.

Railroad Personal.

We were favored this morning by a
call from Colonel Sidney B. Jones, gen.
eral Southwestern passenger agent 81
the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis
railway, better and popularity known as
the " Panhandle route" He has head
quarters in the field, Office at l55 West
Fourth street, Cincinnati. Our &C.
quaintance with Colonel Jones dates
from the summer Of 1868, when such
enthusiastic crowds of Southerners went
North and helped to nominate Seymour
and Blair. His attentions in an official
capacity on that occasion will long be
remembered by many of our people.
The Panhandle route includes the Lit
tie Miami railroad and the Short Line
route from Louisville to Cincinnati. 1t
makes close connections, is shorter
line and makes fewer changes than any
other route to the East. 1t is in splen-
did condition; the appointments are all
frst-class. A new system of signals
has been lately adopted to insure greater
safety and dispatch, and the line in
every respect presents rare inducements
to travellers, especially those who are
careful to consult superior facilities and
comforts Of travel, magnificent and
varied scenery and speed, combined
with assured safety.
