bricks, or what they may say with reference
to his action upon measures intended
to check the vice of drunkenness, we do no
know and we do not intend to inquire. It
matter which does not affect the Western
champion of sound doctrine and homes
action.
1t is really not respectful to the numerou
class of voters Of German origin to represen
them as class as turning against Statesman
of foremost rank and precedence on any pre-
text SO frivolous. Gov. Hendricks is not 81
advocate of inebriety nor favorer O
the vendors of intoxicating liquors. mol
yet is he a fanatic on the subject of tenn
perance or abstinence. He recognizes the
fearful nature and formidable dimensions of 9
dominant evil, and, like a true patriot and
citizen. he may try to check and mitigate it.
But if he does he limits his action to his own
State and he restraints his official conduct
within the limits of the law.
The day is not distant when true and faith
full legislators will be called upon everywhere
to do something to check the disease Of drunk
enness, more damaging in its effects upon its
victims than any epidemic that sweeps over
the land. 1t is a disease that takes from the
patient the power to resist it, and makes him
the instrument of his own torture and destruc-
ton. It descends from fathers to sons with
All always increasing hereditary tendency. L
is lifetime pestilence that fortunes millions
There is danger that the American people
may become nation Of diseased hankerers
for alcoholic poison, more pitiful and helpless
in their dipdomania than the imbecile victims
of opium in China.
The mere tax paid on distilled and malt
liquors amounts yearly to more than it cost
to support the government in the days when
Jacks was at the wheel. The annual waste
is SO great that, if the same amount could be
saved and invested for ten years, it would
suffice to pay all the national, State, munich
pal and county or parish debts now owing.
In ten years more of sobriety and economy
the gain would be sufficient 10 make our Re-
pu bile the wealihiest of nations.
The ablest and best men, in and out of
public position, are using all their strength
OF wisdom to contrive, and Of eloGuence to
advocate, measures to prevent or cure or
check this most formidable of epidemic dis
eases. They differ much as to methods of
operation. They have tried many expedients
and procured the passage and execution Of
many stringent prohibitory enactments, often
of doubtful propriety and always with un-
satisfactory effect. In spite of their efforts
the disease grows wider and stronger from
day to day.

THE CROOKED.
THE CROOKED.
The Grand Jury at Work.
Witnesses from Indiana on the
Stand.
Two Cotton Men Sent to the Parish
Prison for Contumacy.

The United States Circuit Court was unusu.
ally crowded Saturday morning, for it was
| reported that there would be q grand charge
| of the revenue brigade, their commander,
Gen. Brady, having returned to the CITY, A
little after II the Grand Jury retired, and the
first witness before them was Mr.. Henry
Stein, clerk of the steamer Charles Morgan,
running between Cincinnati and this city
Mr.. Stein testified at Indianapolis in the
Bingham cases, and it is supposed he has been
called here to repeat it. The testimony, as
published at the time, was that there was a
consignment of whisky taken on rather
surreptitiously near Evansville, for Fairchild
& Bingham, of this city. That he was asked
to put it down on the manifest as fl ,ur, and
when the boat reached Natchez, he received
telegram not to land the whisky at the wharf
That parties connected with the house went
down to the boat when she arrived here and
wanted the consignment erased.
Special agents Wheeler and Hill were in at.
tendance on the Grand Jury, and it is said
there will be some four indictments presented
to day.
IN COTTON
there is also movement, and Barrett with
his assistants are busily engaged preparing
papers for presentation in the several cases of
fraud against the government. At 11:3O
O'Clock District Attorney Bsckwith presented
the finding of the Grand Jury against Adolph
Bouchard and N. B. Lapoint
FOR CoNTUMAcY.
It appears that Bouchard and Lapoint have
been engaged in pushing throug ii cotton
claims, and had in their possession certain
papers which the Grand Jury wanted. At
first they promised to furnish them, but
afterwards refused, alleging that the docu-
ments we're lost.
The Marshal arrested them, and they ap-
peared before Judge Woods. The Judge
read the charge, and after short consulta-
ton with Judge Billings. who was on the
bench with him, ordered that both parties be
sent to the Parish Prison, there to be con-
fined in separate cells until they produce the
papers called for.
Deputy Marshal Steele took them in charge,
and they were escorted to Jail.
After the Grand Jury had occupied much
time with the whisky investigation. they went
into cotton, aud progressed considerably in
the Bellocq-Noblom case.

GOV. HENDRICKS AND THE GERMANS
The Times Of Friday evening contained the
following special telegram:

The Times OF Friday evening contained the
following special telegram:
Leading German politicians and journalists
called TO Warrington by the meeting of the
National Democratic Committee have been warn
ing influential Democrats in both houses that the
nomination of Hendricks for the Presidency,
would ALLEVIATE the entire German vote OF the
country from the Democratic party. Their reason
for believing this, 10 that the Germans are very
much Disguised with the action OF Gov. Hen
bricks in regard to the liquor question IN the
State of Indiana.
They say that during the late canvass, in his
speeches and in private, he expressed himself as
opposed to the pr0hibitory or strict license law,
and after his election, when the Legislature
passed stringent license act, it became = law
BY receiving his signature. German, just re-
turned from six weeks sojourn In Indiana re-
purts thst Gov. Hendricks would not get dozen
votes In that State. II.
We have the best authority for saying that
there il no sufficient foundation for these
statements. Gov. Hendricks has enemies
who are very much in earnest and very in
dustrious in their attempts to injure him in
the esteem yof his countrymen. His course
rsspecting prohibition is entirely misrepre-
ssnted. There is no opposition to him among
the Democratic Germans of Indiana, and nc
complaint against him from that class oil
Democratic voters elsewhere, on account oil
his actions, speeches or opinions relative to
sumptuary laws. We may remark that the
views and actions Of Gov. Hendricks, Is cit
ixen and magistrate Of Indiana on matter
purely and wholly local, do not and can not
in the slightest degree, Affect his relations tc

termined enemy of the vice Of inebriety and
