AS to THE CLARION, let us here say,
that, though we feel constrained to differ
from this journal, once in while, on the
merits or claims of some particular indi-
vidual, or on some suggested measure of
mere policy or expediency-never, as we
know of, on principle-let us say, we
repeat, that it is a paper worthy of its
proud and prestige-wielding position at
the Capital, and richly entitled to the
support of the anti-Radical population of
the State-yea, and the Radical portion,
too, did they but only know their best
interests. We profit largely from its
Daily, as also its Weekly-both of which
reach us so regularly -albeit, in the way
of exchange, as money-valued, the odds
are so greatly against them.

The Remedy.

On the 9Th of September, 1874, dis
tinguished Republican writing to another
Republican leader in this State, after sta
ting what was not the way to correct the
evils which wicked rule had brought on
the State, proceeded to explain what
would be the remedy" He (this lead
ing Republican, said:
"Our only remedy will be found in
convincing Mr.. Ames that neither the
Judiciary of the State, nor the public
press, are his property, to be used solely to
advance his political and ambitious de-
signs; in compelling him to respect the
constitution in the installment of judges,
by doing so only by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, etc., etc."
The whirligig of time has brought the
opportunity of applying the remedy"
and it is not to be doubted that it will be
seized by the representatives of the peo-
pie, in the exercise of the solemn trust
conhded to them.

yesterday, the contract of the company

What puzzles most people about the
Babcock affair is this-and it is an act of
justice to bring it to the notice of his
council-that, whereas, before the trial
it was stated freely in all the papers that
the famous kilograms admitted of ready
and satisfactory explanation, We see now
nothing but strenuous effort to keep
them out of the evidence. And vet we
are told that they meant no harm. Then
why not admit them without objection,
and show their innocent character? The
man who tells the truth, and has done no
wrong, has nothing to fear.
Nor is this all that is pulling. Peo-
pie want to know, if mo guilty man" was
to be allowed to escape" why Gen.
Grant and THE whole influence of his
Administra ton, civil and military. was
employed to acquit Babcock, the spy and
confidential agent of the whisky ring at
Washington?

Let us have the Testimony.

No matter what conclusion the House
of Representatives may reach on the
question of impeaching Ames, the
people have right to the testimony
gathered up by the Investigating Com
mittee. 1t will stand as their triumphant
vindication for their course in the late
canvass, and as a monument Of the usur-
patton, corruption and infamy of the
administration, against which their YER
dict was pronounced.

No. 1854.

Opiniora of the Court by SIMRALL, j.
This was an issue at law as to the title
to personal property. There had been three
trials, the jury finding each time for the de-
fiicting. and no question OF law was pre-
sented. Held
That the case was peculiarly one for the
inrv to determine, and the fact that there had
been three verdictS for the defendant in error
was strongly persuasive that the right was
with her. Affirmed.

AMEs may not have accepted bride,
nor have offered bride money to influence
the conduct of judges, but it will not be
denied that he tried to control the decis-
ion of judges by Executive patronage.
In either case, the offence is impeachable

Ex-ATToRNEY-GE WILLIAMS,
in his speech for the defense in the Bah
cock case, made this admission
When Gen. Grant became President, Gen.
BabcOck was made his private secretary
In one sense, he became part OF the En-
ecutive; his official delnquencies would
more or less reflect upon and degrade the
Chief Executive of this nation.
And this is the reason why the whole
power of the Administration has been
exerted to save the culprit.

The Liquor License.

We hope the petitions which have been
sent to the Legislature, against increas-
ing the license on liquor dealers, will
receive due consideration. We doubt
both the policy and the Justice of the
measure. Glass legislation of every de-
scription, whether to aggrandize one
class or to pull down another, is obiec
tlonable. The liquor business cannot be
broken up by taxing the article itself,
nor the privilege of dealing in it. There
Is ten times more whisky manufactured
and consumed now, when the govern
ment tax is seventy cents a gallon. than
when 1t yielded no revenue, and could be
purchased at fifty cents a gallon. If the
consumption of liquors is to be discon-
tinued' 1t must be done by revolutions
lzlng the tastes and habits of the people
who use them. The party which acts
upon the exploded Puritanic idea of STOP
ping the consumption by regulating the
sale, as to quantity, or exorbitantly tax
ing the privilege, may succeed in array
ing strong influence against themselve 5
but not In breaking up the traffic. The
attempt has been made over and over
again, and in every instance has failed.
