~ of the Local Option law passed by the Gen
eral Assembly in 1874 The that of
VIM. Fell, resident of the third election dis
trlct of Caroline county, who was indicted and
convicted in the Circuit Court of Caroline coun-
tv of selling spirituous and fermented liquors
after the local option law had been ratified by
the people of his election district. The accused
then appealed to the Court of Appeals. The
case was argued before the Court of Appeals by
Philemon p Tuck, Esq, and Judge Tuck, of
Annapolis, for the appellant, and Attorney
General Syester and VIM. Daniel, Esq, of Bal
timore, for the State. The law which has thus
been declared constitutional by the highest
legal tribunal in the State is entitled AN act

The Victory Sure. whoever Leads the
Ashanti.

All the signs all the precedentS, all the an
t'ogicS OF political history point TO the total
overthrow of the Republican party in the cleo
uon'pf next year. The most significant evil
dcnce of its approaching destruction is the
hardibood with which its leaders in Congress
have set al defiance tide admonitions of the last
autumn. About one, hundred and twenty of
the Republicans in tbs last Senate. ana House
were tben dismissed u private life. The mag
mates of the party intthe Senate were stricken
down,and the Republican majority of one hum
dref in the recent House was changed to a
Democratic majority of Seventy-fve in the next
But this terrible rebuke utterly failed to
bring the Grant leaders 10 "A pause. Indeed
il has failed even TO bring them to reflection

template the teachings ofthe past, nor forward

only three months previously the people smote
them terribly with their Indignation at the

that defeat of Che eiler, and Carpenter and

and even of Shannon in Nevada, are undoubt

The mad career f the Republicans during
the recent session removes all doubt of the over
throw OF the partyin 1876. The election Of
that year will be rsoiution as sweeping and
complete as those ofi84O and 1860. But as
prants to the officeof President in the ranks
