Remarks Of Mr.. Berry OF Wayne.

The bill to amend the statutes relating to drink.
ing houses and tippling shops being before the
House, Mr.. Berry of Wayne, offered an amend
ment striking out the fourth section which ex-
empts WINE for sacramental purposes, and spoke
in its favor as follows;
Mr.. Speaker I'm offering this amendment
do not intend to cast any reflection up
on the church or church members. l
am not church member myself, but
tendant, and would not interfere with any of
their essential rights, privileges or customs. The
church Is always on the right side upon temper.
ance, but upon the question pending before this
House l think l can show o want of consistency
on its part. should hesitate to offer this amend
ment. Mr.. Speaker were | not seconded in it by
church members on this floor and by many in va
rious parts Of the State 1t is well known that up
on this question the church is divided there being
many churches who do notmake use of wine, but
use the pure juice of the grape, while others be-
ieving in the letter of the scripture make use of
wine.
The principal objection I have to offer against
this custom and in support of my amendment, is
its pernicious effect upon those persons who have
within few months or years at most, voluntarily
abandoned the use of intoxicating liquors and are
now known throughout the whole country as Re-
formers. Many of these persons have not only
abandoned. the use of the cup, they have re-
nounced sin in all its forms and have asked the
protecting care of the church. Gladly the church
receives them and offers every help possible to
month it places to their lips the wine cup. Now
| submit to this House whether this is not most
inconsistent and ruinous custom, and simply ask
candid consideration of this amendment, trusting
it will be adopted and believing it will meet with
the appreciation of the church and people.

THE INDIANS.

At conference held in Washington
few days ago between Generals Sherman
and Sheridan and Indian Commits
sioncr smith, Gen. Sherman expressed
the belief that the United States had wit
messed the last great Indian war. The
occupation OF the Black Hills, and the
approaching removal OF the Sioux to the
agency to be established tor them, will,
in the generals opinion,
render it impossible for any tribe to car
ry on an extensive war against the
| whites. That dissatisfied bands will &C.
casionally create disturbances is to be ex.
pected, but there will be no more great
wars, and the Western frontier will be
free from any further depredations.
Spotted Tail, through whose efforts the
Sioux have been induced to discontinue
hostilities and surrender to the govern
ment, is TO be rewarded for his services.
Commissioner Smith has suggested that
regiment of scouts be recruited from
among the Indians, and that Spotted
Tail be commissioned colonel of the
regiment, with other chiefs Of less mote
as captains and lieutenants. Besides
providing an opportunity TO reward
those Indians who have all along been
friendly to the government, the commits
sioners believe such force. divided up
into small companies and stationed at
the different agencies, would render
invaluable service in doing patrol duty
General sherman was tavorably i'm
pressed with the suggestion. and it i:
probable he will reconmend that reg
ment OF Indians be enlisted, and that
Spotted Tail be commissioned colonel OF
the regiment.

Fruit Druium ers,


The fruit drummers have already put
in an appearance. Ii the commission
merchants knew what bore their solic-
itors were to fruit growers, they would
not go to the expense of employing
them. Many of them do not know what
a mans time is worth and by talking
soon disgust them. Several of our ship
pers have aYowed they will not ship to
a house who send out hired solicitors. If
one of the firm comes down to make the
acquaintance OF the shippers it is all
right and pleases them (the shIppers)
but they have no use for regular "bor-
ers," as they are aware that the eX-
pcnses of the drummers have TO come
out of their pockets as the commission
merchants have to charge higher com.
mission, in order to make up tor the cost
of employing them. Let every shipper
remember that the pay the expenses OF
these men, and treat them accordingly.

THE SPEAEERsHIP.

The speakership of the next house Is
the subject of considerable talk among
Washington politicians. The candidates
are Randall, Of Pennsylvania Morrison,
OF Illinois Saylor, OF Ohio, and Cox, of
New York. Randall, who has heretofore
| considered his election almost certain,
| has, within the last few days, been less
hopeful of success. The candidacy OF
Mr.. Morrison seriously interfercs with
Randall's plans; and even if Morrison
should be defeated, he will not support
Randall, as 1t is generally understood he
did last year. Randall will not be able
to control maHy Southern votes, as he
has always been high tariff man. aud
always represents Pennsylvania tariff in
tercsts. and as the Southern members
say, opposes Southern improvement
schemes. Morrison it seems is gaining
strength. and it is now conceded that he
is Randall's strongest opponent, with
fair prospects for success.

The Republican Ditemma-A Demo
cratic statement OF II.

Let it be borne in mind that the same
returning boards which gave Florida and
Louisiana TO Hayes, gave the former TO
Stearns and the latter TO Packard and
that the electoral commission, which fur
nished Hayes with his credentials, ac-
cepted and.indorsed the returning boards
action. Yet Stearns and Packard are
out and Hayes is in.
The Democracy have double cause for
self-congratulatiOn on the event that
transpired in New Orleans Tuesday. The
Republican party, through its president,
not only cOnfesses the complete and final
failure OF its reconstruction policy, but
at the same time acknowledges that the
Democracy carried Louisiana at the cleo.
ton last November. For il Packard
who ran several huE dred votes ahead of
the Hayes electoral ticket-was fairly
elected, why does a Republican admins
tration refuse to support him, and there
by recognize Nichols. And if Packard
was beaten, how could Hayes have been
victorious-and what becomes of his
title to the office he holds! So in Fl1ri-
da. If Stearns was fairly elected, why
is Drew in possession OF the governor
ship? And if stearns was was not elect
ed, how could Hayes get majority in
! Florida.
We leave the Republican party to lind
its way outot this most awkward dilemma
as best il can. The Democracy are quiet
content with the situation, and well they
may be. They have, indeed, lost their
president, but gained everything else.
The Republicans gained their president
| but lost everything else. Hayes has
adopted and enforced the Democratic
policy in the South, and by SO doing
admits that The decision Of the electoral
commission 'oas based on tatsehood, and
that he has not shadow of legaI or moral
right 10 be ,Chere he is. When Stearns
stepped out and Packard was kicked out,

flied by the very party which repuGiated

y FEW days ago the Springfield CORES
pondent of the Chicago Tribune, sent to

OF them have missed less than
twenty or thirty times. When the pa
