The County Court of Jackson coun-
~ refused to grant licenses to drug
9ists in that county, The following
is the order of the Court in the matter
taken from the Jackson Herald:
duplication having been made by
James f Brown, James W. Kelley, w.
w. Kidd and $. Sayre, and Edward
Mcguire, respectively, for license to
carry on the business of druggists in
this county, and the court having ma
turely consider the applications, both
find and is of the opinion that the in
terests of society and the preservation
of law order in this county would die
tate that drug stores are unnecessary
and injurious, as such establishments
are now used for the purpose of vend-
ing ardent spirits chiefly, in violation
Of law. 1t is therefore ordered that
said applications be and they are
hereby refused, and it is further or
dered that no license be granted to any
person Or persons to carry on the bus
mess of druggist or to vend ardent
spirits in any form or manner during
the period of one year from the date
of this order"

THE MALADY AND IT'S CURE,

From careworn and burdened bus
mess men, all over the country, the
anxious inquiry comes, Waterman,
what of the night? Are better times
at hand? Four bitter years of com
mercial distress confront the present
Congress. Few men have had the
sagacity to lay aside the partisan, and
assume the patriotic garb rs legisla-
tors in these trying times Not city
or town in our land tflat does not show
a large portion Of its population, who
are suffering fop the want OF bread.
Thousands Of the unemployed have
been demoralzed, and swell the great
army of tramps that infest all portions
of the rural regions. Muscle and la
bor-the nations truest wealth-has
no value, and cannot be exchanged
for bread. The remedy can be seen
by any patriot, and the people will
rise in their might and majesty, and a
new party will come to the front, whose
matte will be the right of every man
to earn bread, unless congress pro-
vides for suitable appropriations, to
encourage and stimulate business ac-
tivities. Why, by another turn of the
screw, continue the monthly reduction
of the debt? Let posterity bear some
portion of the burden. Let congress
make ample appropriations for com
pletion of the public buildings, and
other public improvements, North,
South, East, and West. Let provision
be made for removing the unemploy-
ed In the great cities, to hemes in the
undeveloped West, and help them to
team and provisions for six months,
such advances to be a lien upon the
homestead, to be returned to the gov
ernment at the end of ten years. The
expenditure of even $4,000 would be
capital well invested. as a business
transact1en, to say nothing of the
want and suffering that would be re
loved

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Even in so simple and small matter
as the employment Of temporary clerks
in one of the Departments, the differ
cnce between what ought to be the poll
cy of the Government and what its poll
cy is, was shown in the House the 10th
inst. a House Committee recommend
ed sum of money sometime since for
the Purpose, and the House voted the
money and sent the bill to the Senate
The Senate doubled the amount and sent
the bill back to the House. Conference
Corithnittees were appointed. They have
been unable toagree. 1.-THE House does
its dirty the Senate will yield. If the
Hotse fails to do its duty in this case it
will probably fail in larger matters. For
instance the Consular and Diplomatic
appropriation bill, in which the differ>
ence between the Houses in quarter of
million dollars, goes to a Conference
Committee today. Other still larger
sums are OF will soon be in Conference
Committees. A little backbone among
Democratic Representatives will help
the country and the party wonderfully
just now. Let Us have as much unan-
unity where millions are concerned and
where a principle is involved, rs where
a Doorkeeper is 10 be elected.
Senator Thurman won great victory
yesterday in the passage of his Pacific
Railroad Funding Bill. The vote was
40 to 10, ana not in any sense political.
The bill is designed, While forcing the
companies to terms on their bu 'incSs as
now conducted, to still leave to Congress
the power, by future legislation, to pros
tcct the interests of the country in any
change OF policy on the part OF the roads
Senator Blaine offered an inyeaio us
amendment calculated to deprive the
country of this power, 10y declaring the
settlement made by this bill Il tiltlity,
but was overwhelmingly beaten.
Hon. Fernando Wood yesterday open =
ed the debate on his now tariff bill. He
said this m caslrr WAS not all he wanted,
o. all the country needed bat was a be-
ginning, and the benefits to b. derived
from the comparatively few changes
now askel for would soon make the
country eager for gretaer and more rad
zeal changes. He said, what is IN part
true, that this was not party measure.
Mr.. Wood is very clear headed man,
and understands his subecta well, per-
haps. as any man i'll the II)use, bit his
speech ofyesterday was not altogether
judicious and, in fact, was 50 much an
argument for free trade that it will drive
away some members who wished to sup

has the floor to reply to Mr.. Wood.
The new Doorkeepcr, Gen'l Field
profiting by the unfortunate examples
of his predecessors, proposes to manage
his office in his own way. 1t is already
evident there is in him none of that
amiable weakness which caused the
downfall of Col Polk. Besides, mem

The labor market still very proper
ly absorbs much Of the public atten
ton, and many persons are nervous
" apprehensive that there may be
ere long repetition of the terrible
troubles which spread such conster-
nation through the United States last
summer. 1t is, therefore, gratifying
to be assured upon reliable authority
that although numbers of tramps still
loiter in the large towns and cities,
yet that there is evidence Of improve
ment in the demani for labor Very
voluminous and trustworthy statistics
on this general subject have been pre-
pared in the State of Massachusetts,
and these, it is claimed, indicate q
tendency in the right direction. The
observations made during the last
few weeks of the year 1877 showed
the noteworthy fact that no consider
able bodies of men were out Of EN-
ployment. except unskilled laborers,
and, perhaps, the workmcn Of some Of
the building trades. This was before
the strikes and lock -outs in the boot
and shoe manufacture. The decline
of wages since 1875 averages only 8
1-3 per cent, the greatest reduction
being in the manufacture Of wooden
wares. The employment has been,
during 1877, very nearly as continu-
Gus, taking the average Of industries,
as in preceding years. The total
number of workpeople en-
ployed has increa ed by q per cent.
The quantity of goods made is great
er by 10 to Is per cent; their value,
calculated in gold, is higher by 4 per
cent. The increase in value of pro
ducts in nine of the leading indus
tries is S.3S per cent. 1t may be that
the same satisfactory reports is hard
ly possible from every other State;
and there are, indeed, many facts to
show that trade generally is still in
state of great depression. But if
one particular branch of industry
shows unmistakable evidence of i'm
provement, inference is not far wrong
that other branches will soon feel the
influence. And present appearances
serve to prove that the labor market
is just now becom ing more active.

ernmcnt out of in their management

membered, is Chairman of the Senate
Committee which has been inyesgatit-

erto he has only asserted that there
were enormous discrepancies in the
Treasury accounts. To-day he charg-
ed boldly that there had been detail
cation of over $50,000,000. Dawes
undertook again to defend the steal,
but could only say because Democrats
didn't understand the Republican sys-
TEN of keeping books. Davis inform
cd him that he would prove his asser-
tions in due time, and there the mat
ter dropped for the day.

added $4,000 subscribe by Messrs,
