ALEXANDER ii. STEVENS ORArIOH -
The Grafton delivered by Senator Stevens
at Atlanta. Ga, on the 4th inst, was char.
acterized by sentiment of LOYALTY in
marked contrast with the treasonaI L. nj
teranccs of General Preston. After speak
| ing of the associations of the centennial
year, Mr.. Stevens said:
| If the gallant soldiers of the North COM
mitted error. either in Judgment or policy.
in preventing our withdrawal, they were
doubtless equally conscientious in beliey
ing that the best way to preserve the prin-
ciples OF the Constitution was to preserve
and perpetuate the Union. The great
object with them was to maintain the in
tegrity of the country. They bad no desire
to strike a single star from the constella-
ton but to preserve the Union, with all
the dignity. equality. and rights OF the sew
eral States uniml;ti, ed" This was the
solemn declaration under which they bore
arms. Are these principles. therefore.
less dear to them now than they were then ?
The great cause of the strife being removed
forever-as an incident rather than an OBJ
.ject of the resut-why. I again ask, cannot
all true friends of constitutional liberty in
every State cordially unite and harmonize
in the future for the maintenance and pres.
ervation and perpetuation of the true
principles of government set forth in the
common Declaration of Independence
Why may there not be perfect accord be-
tween all such at the grand Centennial of
the next year? Be this rs it may, insist
that we of the South. lose whatever else we
may, shall never. from any cause whatever.
lose or forfeit our full share of the glories
Of the ever-memorabfe Fourth Of july.

CoNSrIrUTIONALtTY OF THE New Pos
TAGE LAVA case involving the consti-
tutionality of the amended postage law has
been brought in the United States circuit
court. A gentleman offered book for
mail transmission to Philadel phia from
Washington, postage at the old rates be-
ing affixed. TranSm ssion being refused.
he applied for = mandate to compel the
postmaster to receive the package The
argument of the applicant is that the sun
day civil appropriation bill. into which the
amendment increasing the rate on that
class Of matter WAS inserted WAS not bill
for raising the revenue; that that amend
ment did provide ways and means for rails
ing revenue; that the Senate has 10 con-
siitutional authority to originate measures
for that purpose, that being the sole pre-
rogative of the House; and that the postal
amendment, having originated with the
Senate, and being grated on bill which
WAS not one for revenue purposes. is I'M
constitutional.

IN TRoUBLE.-Jersey lightning is only
a mild tonic as compared with square
Montpelier drink when taken straight The
latter can only be matched by the beverage
which struck the fancy of the North Caro-
linian. Down in the old North State there
was new merchant who had adopted a
not unusual custom of leaving liquor on
his counter for customers to refresh them
selves after il trade. He had one fellow
from the backwoods, q veritable tar-heel,
who bought often and little and who even
took nip when he had bought nothing
To get rid of the pestlent chap he substi-
tuted for the usual whiskey tumbler-full
of ninety per cent alcohol one evening
when he saw his enemy approaching, OK
pecting of course thut the first swallow
would close out the connection The man
from the pine barrens waited till the mer-
chants back was turned, and the latter
wheeled around just in time to see the
last drop disappear. The customer left
Tor home and the storekeeper was stricken
with remorse.
A vision of a man found by the roadside
haunted him all the evening and he felt
like a murderer But just before he was
ready to shut up shop the door opened and
tar-heel again appeared. Stranger"
said he. "hev you got any more of that
liquor Id got two miles on the road
home but | thought ri come back. That s
the satisfyingest liquor, stranger, that I've
ever had"
1t must have been some such beverage
that Francis NJ. Bailey of North Montpe-
ier got hold of last Saturday. But what
yer it WAS he and one or two others took
it upon themselves to become noisy and
insulting. Officer Dumas arrested him on
The street for intoxication, whcreupon his
brother Richard became belligerent until
Sheriff Tuttle closed his breathing appar-
'tus. Dumas took Francis to Jail and on
Monday he was brought out and disclosed
N Michael Slattery who is new conner,
md keeps with Spinnard. Sattery Was
.ined twenty dollars and costs by Justice
.Iuse and appealed. Bailey was complained
f by grand juror Pitkin and fined for in
oxication and for disturbing the peace,
he fines amounting to eight dollars and
the costs to thirteen dollars and twenty
ents. He staid in Jail till yesterday, when
N payment Of the fine, he left probably
wiser and sadder than he came.

PRoFITABLE-Wes Randolph indulge
in a sensation, last Wednesday. and the
curious thing about it is that SO many flats
could have been found in place where
there are so many Sharps. The way Of it
was that two of that class of gentlemen
who live by their wits and the want Of
the same in others, set up their humbug
mill few minutes before the express train
north came along and one of them pro-
posed to sell envelopes from package,
which might OF might not contain a prize.
He sold couple for a dollar and gave the
man who bought them two dollars for
them back again then sold them again for
dollar and offered the second man two
dollars, but number two preferred to open
