This action OF the Governor and the Con-
yention was brought about by the pressure
OF the politicians from the canal counties.

cured the passage Of the act Of 1857 con-
tinued to operate upon public opinion in
Maryland until the election of Governor
Bowie in 1869. .Hecpressed this policy upon
the Legislature and the public, and ulti-
mately succeeded by the appointment OF
Colonel james c. Clark as president, whose
administration for. the first time impaired

Mr.. Sam. p. Ivens, the Editor of
the Athens (Tenn) Post tells a
great deal of wholesome truth in
this brief article. He says perhaps
the most popular fallacy is that
newspapers ought to be printed and
published in the interest of the
cummunjty-particularly the indi-
gent portion of the community.
All sorts of charitable enterprises
run to the newspapers for gratuities,
as child runs to its mother for
Help. Politicians, office seekers
and scallawags generally count on
the unpaid support of newspapers.
Now a newspaper, to be worth any
thing as business enterprise,
should be printed in the interest of
its proprietor-just as much as the
merchant should run his business
in his own interest alone. This
popular fallaey has been largely
bred by the establishment of party
and personal or gans, that live by
begging support, and other newspa-
per mendacity.

Cure for Sore throat.

A correspondent of the Queens
lander" gives the following cure for
sore throats: 1t cannot be too
generally known that all forms of
sore throat, whether simple, ulcera-
ted, quinsy, diptheria, scarlet fever,
or otherwise, can be either totally
cured or greatly alleviated by sim
ply wearing a soft old silk kerchief
twice around the neck, high up and
and next to the skin, especially if
worn at night when the pain is first
felt. Like Naaman, the Syrian,
people will take any trouble but the
right one, and fly to gargles, blis-
ters, lotions but an old silk square
why, it is too absured, and so
they hug their sore throat, and
wonder why they don't get better.
Not only does the silk cure the sore
throat, but it prevents a recurrence
of it. / was formerly martyr to
quinsy and liberated sore throat
and used to have a whole month of
it regularly every winter, and in
spite, 100, of all the usual battery of
pills, gargles, ETC., it ran its course
till tried the silk; the sore throat
then took the hint and has left me
alone ever since las a customer.
invariably kill it within an hour OF
an attempt it makes upon me; an
old sore throat it will take day to
cure. Mind, l do not pretend to
say that the silk cures fever or any
other symptom or complication that
may accompany sore throat, but this
l do say, that it will cure and re
move all pain and difficulty of swal-
lowing in the throat without the aid
of any local remedy, or it will do il
in spite of them, if you do apply
them and it both, but without il
cure only comes by nature, not ply
sic, as far as the sore throat goes;
other remedies are neither good MOI
harm, except as they keep you from
trying the infallible silk.

THE DIVORCE MANIA.
A Social Revolution Progress
on the Matrimonial
Question.
Memphis Ledger.l

Memphis Ledger.l
The number of divorce petitions
now being filed IN our Chancery
and Circuit Courts does not speak
well for society OF its advancement.
Edmund Burke, in his celebrated es-
say on the French Revolution, afin-
ded to the divorces granted by the
courts of Paris as one of the strong
est symptoms of the utter rotten
ness of society. In very brief pc
riod of the Revolution more divorc-
es nad been granted than in Eng
land from the earliest days down to
that period. In this city we are max
ing wonderful strides toward social
disorganization-toward destroy
ing the family relationship and the
foundation of society. 1t is so al
so throughout, the United States,
whether you take Puritan Massa
chusetts or Mormon Utah as an ex-
ample. The marriage tie which is
regarded in semi-sacred manner,
at least, does not bind long or
closely at present, and the bonds
of,matrimony are becoming weaker
day by day. The facilities offered
by our legislatures to the people for
procuring divorces are not we'll cal
culated to add TO social order, to
sentiment, love or affection. Matri-
monial bonds are now lightly
donned and as lightly doffed. The
outline of union may be given as
follows: A marriage between a man
and a woman who have had but a
slight acquaintance with each 9th.
er, a few weeks of so-called happi
ness, several months of unhappiness
and misery, a separation, divorce.
The divorce machinery of our
courts goes on grinding out separa-
tions week by week as regularly as
clock work. 1t is no trouble to
procure divorce, because the de
fendant makes no defense, and is
only too glad to escape from the
bonds of wedlock. Many divorces
are procured by collision between
the parties-by an agreement that
one shall make the application and
the other will make no defense.
Throughout the entire country
the regular divorce business indi-
Gates steady increase, while in
this city it is advancing at a rapid
pace heretofore unknown.

A Scheme for the Suppression
of Drunkenness.

The Philadelphia Times has the
following with regard to scheme
which has been devised in Oregon
for the suppression of drunkenness
A scheme has been devised in
Oregon for the suppression of
drunkenness, which requires every
person buying liquor for his own or
another persons consumption TO
take out an annual license, costing
not less than five dollars. Every six
months the names of those having
licenses are to be published, and no
saloon keeper is to be permitted to
sell a drink to q men unless he can
produce the all important document
properly certified and bearing the
seal of the County Court. The
proposed law certainly has merits.
In Philadelphia. for instance, it
would bring a million and half or
two millions of dollars revenue in
the public treasury every year
And then the publication of the
names of the licensed drinkers every
six months would help to keep
some of our starving contempora-
ries alive, who, by trading type and
printing three OF four hundred sup
plements which never reach their
subscribers, now reap such rich
harvest from the delinquent tax and
mercantile appraisers lists. The
solitary drinkers, fortified by the
possession of his license in his
pocket, need have no fear of expos
ure, except when found drunk with
no license, when the proposed Ore
gon law would insist upon his i'm
prisonment in the House of Cor
rection for at least six months
The idle vagabond, having no mon
ey to procure a license, would have
no whisky, and thus drunkenness
would be banished from the land
and the good time for which Broth
er Murphy is praying would dawn
upon a people emancipated from
the vice of the age.

plans of settlement, from the COM
mittee's downward, were in reality
plans Of repudiation. differing only
in degree. "The cry Of repudiation
has no terrors for them" declares
one of their newspaper oracles:

ton" The same Jealous public
instructor further informs, meta.
phoricaly, that the ''tide is rolling
and swelling like an avalanche"
the probable practical result being
"an utter reputation Of the whole
affair, principal and interest"
There's consolation for the New
York committee and the creditors
who have relied upon the potency
of their intercessionl
The Legislature took the people
at their word and gave formal OK.
preston to their wishes. A State
tax of six mills, we have said,
would meet all the requirements Of
the debt as il is. The State could
pay this tax, and still he lightly
burdened as compared with other
States less rich in their natural adj.
vantagcs. Tennessee does not in
deed, initiate Georgia and wipe out,
as with a sponge, nine or ten mill
ions. 1t simply makes the pay
ment of one dollar of principal or
interest an impossibility. BY and
by, perhaps, when this disguised
repudiation has done its worst, tho

A Remarkable Cure.

ter from a prominent citizen of that
city in reference to the curing of
cancer. We know several persons
in this county who are suffering
from this dreadful affliction, and
in order that they may know
where and to whom to apply for re-
lief, we give it a place in our col
ums:
NASHVILLE, May 81, 1877.
l send you in preservation a part
only of cancerous tumor the other
portion to save it, taken from my
wife's face, embracing the whole of
the left corner of her mouth, includ-
ing nearly or quite all of the under
lip, with the chain, where it has
been growing with painful suffering
for more than fifteen years-for the
last four years with increasing
growth. | have for ten years
sought at home and wiA travel for
medical treatment, sparing neither
money nor time, directing my APP
peal to those who make the cure of
cancer and all scirrhus affections a
speciality, visiting St. Louis and
Ottumwa, Iowa, as was suggested.
From none did she receive any ben
eft more than a mere temporary
suspension of it's growth, and this
from DIR. Caster of 0ttumwa, Iowa.
Her affliction and protracted suffer
ing had the sympathy of her nu-
merous friends, many of whom are
in Georgia. While / was on a bus
mess tour in southwestern Georgia,
last writer, | heard of two cases
similar to my wife's, that had been
successfully treated, with positive
cure, by lady living near Browns
vile, Tenn, Mrs. Mary Sullivan.
sought her. She came to my house,
and began her treatment May the
5th instant. She made SuI one oPpti
cation of her remedies, and on the 18th
instant this balance of the large tu-
NOR dropped off, leaving its sur
roundings with healthy filling up
of new and sound growth of flesh,
and am perfectly satisfied of the
destructruction of the caneer-a
radical and effectual cure. / desire
the publication of this, first, for the
benefit of suffering humanity, and
that those suffering with cancer
(said to be incurable) may know to
whom to apply. Mrs. Sullivan is
one of the most unassuming and re-
firing ladies l have met. While
she has cured nearly fifty cases like
this, many of them larger and
equally inveterate, she has modest
ly declined any publication. Her
specific is her own. 'Tis extraordi
nary, first, requiring but one appli-
cation, and most admirably its pos
tive curative powers guaranteed.

ther information to any thus afflc-
ted, and refer, most respectfully to

Mark Twain has been giving his
views on the European war to a
Baltimore reporter as follows:
nicholas is a long-headed man,
but if he doesn't keep a sharp look
all his fat will be in the fire. But L
can't keep the run Of movements by
the cable dispatches. Can't locate
the places on the map. l read that
the Russians will move from
Krackyourjawoff via Bullyboyyou-
know on to Crushemalli5it. Then
l look on my European map and 1
don't find the places. A European
map is like blackboard with moth
ing on it, leaving the industrious
student of contemporaneous histo
ry to fill in the outlines. The hard
part of it Is that they'll go on fight
ing just as though good maps were
to be had for the asking.

A Speech Worthy ofMr. Davis

Mr.. JeffeTs son Davis said in a
speech at Mobile few days ago:
sFcr the honor of the comrades
whose uutimely death you mourn,
for respect due the cause you love,
for the pride you feel in your ances-
try, for the hopes you cherish Tor
your posterity, let not your eyes re-
vert constantly to the past, but con-
fronting the present and looking
patriotically on to the future, let
your efforts be made to repair what
has been injured, and build again,
higher and broader, on a more solid
foundation, the temple of human
liberty, after the model left you by
your fathers. You engaged in no
war for sectional aggrandizement
you fought no battles for personal
advantage, You were prompted by
no malice, and your knightly es
cutcheon is tarnished by no sordid
hate or desire for mean revenge.
The war left you stripped ofall save
honor, and your chivalry was as in-
capable of intlicting wrong as it was
of submitting to it tamely."
