The Hannisville Distillery

We learn that it is the intention of
the proprietors of this large estab-
lishment to close operations this week
for an indefinite period. This step
has been resolved upon in conse-
quence of an arbitrary ruling of the
Revenue Department, with which it
would be impossible for the proprie-
tors of the Huntsville establishment
to comply, and therefore operations
will be suspended until such time as
the law may be changed or the rul-
ing modified. The closing Of the dis
tillery will throw some twenty-five
or thirty men out OF employment,
and shut off good market for the
grain and hogs of our farmers.

Assassination Indorsed.

The Amite City Democrat, of May 6
copying the special dispatch in the New
Orleans Democrat of May 9, announcing
the assassination at Coushatta, goes on to
cay:
The Twitchell above mentioned is the
man who took such prominent part in the
last session of the Senate, especially in its
foul impeachment action, and King is his
brosher-in-law. Twitchell deserved his fate.
He has caused more trouble to the people
OF Red River parish than any dozen men
within her borders. The other was capable
of little evil-only a tool-and we are in
clinef to have lttle sympathy for him.
Comment on the above is left to the

farmer began throwing rocks the urchin
quickly descended. A system of rewards
Will in measure do away with the neces-
sity Of punishment. A teacher who has not
fair knowledge OF human nature should
stand aside for others who have.
Professor Seaman did not advocate cor
poreal punishment, and thinks it should be
abolished; the rod spoils the child; kindness
will accomplish more than force, but firm
ness is requisite. His experience has been
that fogging flesh will not inculcate good
ideas. A pupil who can not be governed
without whipping should be sent home. He
stated that in the State OF New York, some
time ago, corporeal punishment was abol-
ished by law, but short experience forced
the law makers to abandon their position
and renew the right to punish.
Mr.. Lowe deprecated corporeal punish
ment.
Miss NJ. Csrolan expressed the belief that
if Professor Seaman had to deal with
scholars younger than those now under his
charge he would perhaps entertain another
belief about punishment; he would prob
ably think as do teachers who have mis-
chievous boys under their charge.
Mr.. F. A. Golden eoatended that corpore al
punishment is highly necessary, and that
such had been his experience.
Mr.. Jovian coincided with Professor Sea-
man.
The executive committee, through NJ r.
Leche, announced that the next subject for
discussion would be: 'What should be the
qualifications Of teacher?" He also an
nounced that the associations reading
rooms, No. 81 Camp street, were ready for
use.
The first article of the constitution is soma :
what vague, and Mr.. Beahn gave motto e
that he would at the next meeting offer an
amendment. He referred to that portion
which speaks of membership, and hopes to
amend so as to make it read that when a
teacher, member of the association, shall
lose his or her position in the public sch ools
he or she shall retain membership.
A resolution thanking Messrs. Harper g.
Brothers for liberal donation was
auOpbou.
Mr.. Golden offered resolution to the
effect that this association deeply regret 8
the action of the School Board in refus ing
to elect teachers in the month of June, an
the resolution, which was adopted, appea is
to the board to reconsider its action.
The president announced the follow in g
committee to solicit subscriptions for the
reading rooms: F. A. Goldeu, w. E aston ,
j. L. Barth, and Misses NJ. A. Armstrong ,
NJ. K. Chevallie, I. Simmons, NJ. V. Nc Carly
and G. l. Lambourne.
Mr.. Bourges thought a movement should
be inaugurated to make the positions OF
teachers permanent, and suggested that
our legislators should be appealed to in
that regard as early as possible.

Corruption.

suits. There is scarcely a day but
what some now developments arc
mado, involving tho honor of some
high Government official. The most
of these frauds seem to run directly
back to Babcock, the Presidents Pri
vate Secretary or somo Cabinetioffi-
cor. Hero they stop and are likely
to rest, unless some of them should
conclude to make clean breast, in
which event the country might be
still moro astonished. This is bad
timo for the Centennial year. 1t
should havo como on some other time,
espociall for tho sake of the honor OF
Republican institutions. 1t is said
that thirty-four nations will bo re-
presented during tho exhibition. Will
we Americans have nothing to blush
for? Can we point to as clear re-
cord, so far rs official honor and in
tcgrity is concerned, as somo of those
who will represent monarchies? We
fear not, and do not caro- to have a
comparison. But aftor all it may be
that all these things have come To
light at tho proper time; for why not
mako it part OF our business, while
we celebrate our ono hundrcth ycal

cial corruption and rascality, and
when our Centennial election comes
off, turn tho Government over TO Q
party that will administer its affairt

bill reducing the Presidents salary,
from fifty to twenty five thousand
dollars, the amount originally fixed by
tho Constitution. His reason for vc-
toing the bill is, he says, because $685..

If he had spent less time in carous-
