the Vicksburg Herald, referring to the

The New Liquor License Law.

By the new license law, the applicant
must pay to the county the same fee as is
paid to the State. This will make the
license just double what it formerly was.
He is also required to give bond in the sum
of $500; conditioned for the faithful OBJ
servance of the provisions of the license
laws Of the State. He must be recon-
mended by twelve freeholders of the dis
trict wherein he resides. If, upon indict-
ment, the license is suppressed, another

THE KILBOURN CASE.

1t is admitted by prominent Democrats
here, that the drag-net thrown out by the

pool, is an evidence of weakness on the
part Of the prosecution, and that the deter

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON, d. C., April ard, ~.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April ard, 1876
DEAR WHG:-March, March, Marcel!
March has marched away. We have had
our first of April, and the enthusiastic
hoodlum enjoyed himself with taking in
and doing for the innocent and guileless.
The weather has been very unfavorable,
and exceedingly unpleasant during the
last ten days of March. There was more
weather crowded into last week than the
week could very well stand at once, so a
good deal Topped over and overwhelmed
the citizens. The blow of last Wednes-
day night was something terrible in its
way, and its shortness of duration alone
saved the city from serious damage Num-
bers of trees uprooted. and several houses
compelled to walk off on their roofs, and
quite number of roofs walked off the
houses. 1t is said that March winds assist
April showers in botanical purposes; we
have had enough wind to make the earth a
genuine garden of Eden in full bloom, if
the showers don't go back on us.
THE PRINTING BUREAU SUFFERERS.
Various meetings have been held during
the past week for the relief Of the wretched
condition of the poor employees of McCar-
tells division, who were thrown out of work
by failure of appropriations, and being
for the most part poor women with fami-
lies or parents dependent upon them for
support, are in a sad state of poverty.
The clerks of the various departments. and
many of our prominent business men have
assisted in the work. President Grant
PANIED out 800. With aid from one source
and another, if the money be distributed
wisely, the suffering of the unfortunate one
will be- in measure, alleviated. The Con
gress that turned them out in the streets
by their failure to consider the deficiency
bill have done nothing in the way of aid or
assistance for them.

1t seems that after expanding more than
$lO0,000 for the expenses of witness fees,
mileage, &c, the appropriation is ex-
hausted, and witnesses are selling their
certificates at eighty cents on the dollar-a
rate that may possibly become worse, in
view of the fact, that owing to the trivial
ity of the results of the examinations to
this date, the Senate may refuse to concur
in voting increased appropriations to be
wasted in like manner.

HIGHWAYNEN.

There are some footpads or highwaymen
just now infestiug our streets, and taking

intervenes between moonset and daylight,
when the street lamps are not lighted.
They knock down the wayfarer, rifle his
pockets in true Texan or border style and
leave him alone to his fate. These fellows
