A Failure in the Commission. Business.

The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph,
an independent republican paper,
declares that it is not a commission that
is needed in the Louisiana matter, but
what is wanted lis the courage to go
right to the point, to do that which is
right to do The Telegraph adds.
with force:
suppose that when President Hayes
assumed Office he had found the capitol
Of Ohio, or Massachusetts,, or Penn
syl1ania in the hands and under the
control Of a gang of political ad-
venturers Of Southern birth and breed
ing, ex-Confederate bummers, who had
left the South for the South's good, had
found them intrenched ia Office behind
federal bayonets. what would he have
done after taking the oath? He knows
that he would have removed the
bavonets and permitted the people of
those States to say who should rule
them. their own citizens or alien
adyenturers. The boot is on the other
leg, that is all. Ohio, Massachusetts,
and Pennsylvania have sent their
played-out political hacks to Louisiana,
they hold. the capitol, and federal
bayonets support them in doing so.
Remove the bayonets and the carpet
baggers will also remove"

The .geaett Bell Punch.

The whisky bill proposed by Senator
Mof'ett of Harrisonburg has passed both
houses and has been approved by the
governor. 1t is now the law Of the
State. 1t imposes tax of2@ cents
upon each drink. The man as he
pours out his liquor and puts the glass
to his mouth will be laboring under the
sweet consciousness that he is contri-
buting his mite towards the payment
of the debt Of the Old Commonwealth.
The patriotic motive, however, is not
expected to increase the gross amount
Of liquor sold. The device for ascer-
tanning and registering the amount sold
is said to be quite ingenious.
It consists of a wooden box about
twelve inches long eight inches wide,
and six to eight inches IN height, re-
sembling a large sized coffee-mill. At
one end there is crank operating the
wheels inside, and on one side three
visible dials identical with those used in
gas meters: One turn of the crank
sounds bell inside. and causes one
movement OF the indicator on the first
dial. Every turn produces a similar
effect until the indicator has made
complete revolution on its axis, when
one is scored by the indicator on the
next dial, and so On, as in measuring
the consumption Of gas. A glance at
the diais will enable the observer to
find out the maximum number OF times
the crank has been turned. The bill
requires the register to be permanently
fixed to the bar, counter or other con-
venient place, and it is to be locked
and sealed by the Commissioner of the
Revenue, whose duty it will be to in
spect it from time to time. and keep It
iurunning order. A heavy fine is inn
posed on any person who hampers in
any way with this wonderful machine.

South Carolina Liberated.

AS result of a cabinet meeting at
Washington on Monday the Secretary
Of War was directed to issue an order
removing the troops from the State
House at Columbia, South Carolina.
Governor Hampton refusedto be caught
in the compromise trap, and as a result,
forced his recognition as the legal
Governor of South Carolina. Governor
Hampton left Washington for Columbia,
on Monday night. Chamberlain is
disconsolate and says it places the
State in the practical possession of the
democrats

AN ACCOUNTING CHOICE. Mem
phis (Tenn.) Appeal relates the follow
ing in its account Of the recent burning
of the steamer Governor Garland in
the Arkansas river. Capt. Nowland's
conduct was heroic. Finding it i'm
possible to rescue his wife and two
children, he was compelled to forsake
either the former Or the latter. He had
no time to hesitate, for the flames were
already scorching the passengers. Capt.
Rowland kissed his little children fare
well, and, selling his wife, plunged into
the water. He looked back, but the
little children he could not see, for his
eyes filled with tears, such as only a
father or mother can know the mean
ing of. A deckhand, named Billy
Staples, whose homeis in Memphis,
witnessed the sad farewell. Selling
both of the children in his strong arms,
the brave man leaped into the water
and carried them safely to the shore.

The Richmond Why would snuff out
our Pickering light by crushing magma
ni1nity. 1t condescends to advise us
how we may escape its contempt for
our utterances. Happily for the Wing
ls,singles out its man by directing its
paragraph at the ''late editor Of the
Shenandoah Democrat, now Of the
Herald" The Wig has a decided ad-
vantage of US in being able to distin-
grlish and name editors. No man can
do as mucFfor the Wing. To the out
slider it would appear to have about as
many editors as there are sides to the
several prominent questions it has I'M
dertaken to elucidate.
But we would admonish the Wig
that its contempt has no terrors for US.
Run. as it is, without brains, principle
Or policy, its contempt is wholesome
in the ratio Of its intensity. As for
that courtesy which has ever distin-
guished gentlemen conducting the
editorial columns Of the press Of Virgil
nia," we think we venerate it; but that
editorial courtesy which winks at the
publication ofa fragrant falsehood to
the detriment of a party the promulga-
tor too often assumes to represent, is
not the kind which ever has and ever
should distinguish gentlemen conduct
ing the editorial columns Of the press
Of Virginia." Courtesy unleavened with
veracity may distinguish the pin head
gentry of the profession.

Hampton has been to Washington.
Democrats draw encouragement from
Hayes. Radicals and carpet-baggers
draw encouragement from Hayes
Democrats expect an order withdraw
ing the troops. Radicals look for the
success of G chamberlain and Packard.
Hayes has not manliness sufficient to
confine himselfto his official duties, but
would like to settle the controversy by
delegating powers to others which he
does not possess. He wants to please
radicals and draw strength fiom the
democrats. In few days the final re-
suit will be known.

Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, who is on

with saying that he hopes the COM
mission may able TO toward the Presl-
dents policy Of pacifcation, but can
see no feasible plan for doing so. He
thinks the way may be found clear when
the commission reaches Louisiana and
takes in the situation. He will heartily
cooperate in doing what the President
desires in the interest Of establishing
rightful government.
