AN IMPORTANT DECisIoN ,RKNpERED BY
THE SUPREME: COURT JCsqICE DE-
{, =. BLANCo.cs

State of Lonisiapa W. David Siess.--
This suit was brought in the parish court
of Avoyelles so zccover from defendant
the sum of 1912, for this:
1. That from the first of January, 1877,
until the institutions Of this shit, il July
last, defendant SOLD or gave away, as re.
tail grocer or dealer, distilled liquors in
less quantity than . gall6h, and, as snch,
owes the State alicense Of $s5.
g. That, for having tailed to procure
and exhibit said license, he is subject to
a fire. which, including, the fees of the
district attorney, amounts to $50.
This action. was brought in the name
of the State, and defendant enjeined from
carrying on his business as a.fetail grocer
until the payment Of the license, fine and
penalties claimed from him. -,
Is defendant liable for license of SIS,
as keeper of cofee-hcuse, in add tio,,
to that of SIS, which he has paid asre-
tail groceSf
He did not sell by thu glass, but sold
in quantities less than q gallon and this
he had right to do under the license
which lie paid.
The law OH this point is not as clear as
it might have been; burt it contains IL
provision which, Of itself, Insufficient to
defeat tho plaintitfs action, That pro-
vision is-in these vords; can retail
grocers selling bv tho glars shall pay, in
addition to the grocery license, that re-
quired. to keep IL coffee-house."
t These expressions leave no doubt chat
the only Srocers from whom that license
could have been exacted under the law
relied on by tho district attorney were
those who sold by the glass, and'not those
who, as defendant, sold by portions of a
gallon. to be consumed out of the store.

And Gen. Circuit was nominated. The
announcement of the result of the last
ballot was greeted with the widest en-
thusiasm, cheer on cheer fairly making
the building rock. When the tumult
had subsidized, Hon. Albert Clarke took
the floor and moved that the nomination
be made unanimous. Gen. Grout is, he
said, my personal friend. l have not
said one word against him. He will re-
feet honor and credit upon the State
and though not so good man as my
candidate laughter and applausel, l can
cheerfully support him. In behalf of
Mr.. Barlow, return thanks to his friends
who have so actively and enthusiastical-
ly supported him in the canvass.
The nomination was then made unan-
imous.
Col. Clarke moved that committee of
two be appointed to wait on the nominee
and request his presence before the Con-
vention.
Carried and the chair appointed as
such committee Hon. Albert Clarke and
Hon. R. S. Taft.
There being an immense crowd outside
the hall, who were as anxious to hear
Gen. Circuit as those within. an adjourn.
ment was then had to the green in froLt
of the hall and was received with pro-
longed cheering. He was presented by
President Palmer, who said that it was
one of the pleasantest duties of his life
to introduce to the convention Hon. VIM
W. Grout.
Gen. Circuit responded briefly:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of til,

have agreed on me, as your nominee Il

of this District on the approaching cleo
ton of Representative to Congress

Essex county, having only about one

Essex county, having only about one
twelfth of the delegates, really locked
the convention by voting for George N.
Dale. Ten votes of the seventeen were
first and last for Grout; the other seven
hoped to so weary the patience of the
others as to compel the two hundred
and three to surrender to the seven.
The majority didn't see it.
The worst disappointed and most
crest-fallen man about Hydepark on the
announcement that Gen. Circuit was nom-
mated was Geo. w. Hendee. He had
cherished the hope that by some FORUM
ate turn of affairs he might ride in on
the tide of ..luck" for another turn. He
had used his influence to defeat Grout,
had condesceuded to attend caucus in
Lamoille county, to electioneer in his
own behalf and to sanction the fraud Of
running blind tickets for Barlow. His
disappointment was only equalled by
the contempt of all parties who knew
the course be had taken. He undertook
very dirty game and suffers all the
disgrace.
Those fellows who figured SO conspic-
uously along the Canadian frontier dur
ing the last few weeks, in the interests
of Mr.. Barlow, found the most direct
rout from the Park to Newport to be
via St. Adams.
1t would have been impossible to have
selected twelve better men in Burling-
ton, than the twelve Circuit delegates
from that city. They are the same whom
the Messenger called a "slippery set"
They stood with twenty more from
Chittenden county, firm as a rock, and
their allies on this side will never ask
for more honorable set of men with
whom to subdue an enemy.
Last week the st. Adams Messenger
was publishing such doggerel as the
following to keep up courage:
'Alas for Grout and alas for sowlesl
They furnished the grists and suffered the tolls,
But when the ballots cast and counted
And both were endorsed and Barlow mounted,
Hungry and cold they were both left out
| Alas for Sowes and alas for Grout!'
Our poet now breaks out:
Hurrah for Grout hurrah for Sowles!
They captured the grists, they gobbled the tolls;
And when the ballots were cast and counted,
Poor Bradleys brave fallen dismounted
Skedaddled for home in confusion and rout,
All praise to Sowles, all glory for Grouti
If the staid and honest voters o
of northern Vermont could know wha
measures were used to procure the nom
ination of Mr.. Barlow, they would b
greatly surprised that he was defeated
The revelations are not calculated to in
crease ones admiration for modern poll
tics.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

CIRCUITS success must be put down as
triumph of the cleaner and better ele-
ment of the party in his district.-Brat-
tleboro Ph9nir.
The Free Press says: Gen. Grout will
make capable, courteous, honest and
industrious Congressman. and the man
ly, square and honorable way in which
he has conducted himself during a very
trying and difficult canvass, is aguaran-
ty for a like sensible and honorable
course as Representative.
Grout wins in the third district. The
contest has been close one, the candi-
dates having been narrowed down to
two. The newspaper fight between Bar
low and circuit has been fierce and Bit
ter. The result. we believe, will give
very general satisfaction to the voters of
the district.-Record g. Farmer.
Gen. Circuit went home on the accom-
mediation to-day Thursday and was
greeted at this depot with cheers and
music from the Lyndon Brass Band The
General is all right to-day, but if he
knows which his right foot is he must
study to keep that forward every time,
for he knows how wonderfully easy the
people get down on public man. Only
think of that first vote of "Uncle Dud-
ley" for third term and the loss of
public respect which followed. General,
beware Union.
The Citizen heads its article with
LICKED" in large letters, and says:
In making this brief announcement
we will say that it is not what we had
hoped or desired, but the fates are
against us and the General is in luck.
We cannot help it. We are not too
blame. We are worsted. The General
has won our highest esteem for the splen-
did canvass he has made he has sur
prised us beyond all calculation. We
stop to shed silent tear over the bur-
led hopes of our long coveted Consul
ship!
Whatever may be said of the Burling-
ton canvass in the contest that closed
Wednesday, it has been the universal
verdict that as to Gen. circuit himself,
he deserved much praise for the gallant,
spirited, we'll generated conduct of the
fight. He has been active and vigilant,
and has made but few, if any mistakes.
We preferred Barlow to him and should
do so again were we to fight the battle
over. Not that the Gen. is incapable
but because we considered Barlow more
capable and as to the moral issue we
could see no reason for choice. We
think the Gen. will do the district cred.

look to see his indomitable will and
pluck secure for him reputation. We

A disgraceful scene was witnessed

A disgraceful scene was witnessed at
picnic IN Winchester, ILL.,, few days
ago. The tables had been spread, the
banquet was prepared, the coffee steam
ing and all hands we're gloating over the
prospect of a bountiful repast, when sud-
denly horde of tramps burst out of the
bushes, seized upon the viands, bolted
the lunch and drained the coffee pot be-
fore the agonized gaze Of the picnickers.
The tramps dined very heartily and
marched off in triumph, leaving their
hosts to such reveries as empty stomachs
might inspire.

OUR MEXICAN RELATIONS
Again Discussed in Cabinet Session ut

the Subject Of Pursuing the
GFeeser Raiders.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-The cabinet was
to-day aga'n convened with reference to our
relations with Mexico. The secretary Of war
has received kilograms from General Old,
asking what action he should take in case
the United States troops, in following fresh
trail after a raid has been made from the
Mexican side Of the river, meet with opposi-
ton from the Mexican troops. This question,
together with the general aspect of affairs on
the Rio Grande as reported to the war depart
ment, was the subject of earnest attention. 1t
was decided there was no reason, whatever,
why the former orders to the American forces
should not be fully carried cut, and the Presi-
dent directed the secretary of war TO tele-
graph General Ord, reiterating the existing
orders with reference to protecting American
interests and the prompt pursuit and punish
meut Of ralding parties. After the adjourn
ment of the cabinet Secretary M'Crary and
General Sherman were IN consultation with
reference to the instructions to be sent to
General Ord, and telegram will be sent to
that officer advising him of the intention of
the government to demand that OUT ages
upon its citizens shall cease, and iustructng
hun to carry out the provisions of the present
orders, to follow and punish raiding parties.

His Brilliant EuIOGy ON Ben Butler as

NEW YORK, August IA Herald San
Francisco special says: Kearneys debate at
Boston has been looked forward to here with
great interest. 1t was rumored before his
departure that parties here were preparing
speeches for his eastern audiences. He re-
pudiated the very thOue ut Of such humilia-
ton, and affirmed his determination to be
guided by pure, unauthorized, sound inspira
ton. To the CONSERVATION of his admirers
his speech in Boston comes over the wires,
radiating with science and eloquence which
is perfectly bewlldering. His grand eulogy
of General Butler was taken textGally from
Tom Fitch, the silver-tongued orator and ex-
congressman of Nevada, on the occasion of
the ratification meeting of Hayes. and
Wheeler, held June 81, 1876. to console the
wounded spirit of Speaker Blaine. Fitch
said: "Let me give brief utterance to the
feelings of many thousands of earnest Re-
publicans, etc., and send a message Of love
and greeting to him who is lesser than Mae
beth yet greater, fiery yet unconquerable, the
Rupert of debate, the chivalrous white

EAST ST. LOUIS.
Mayor Bowman .EDjOincd from Pre-
siding ever the General Law COun-
ell. but his Position as ssayOP
Remains In Statu Quo.

ST. LOUIS, August 9-In the case of the
application for injunction by the charter city
council of East st. Louis, to enjoin Mayor
Bowman, the general law city councilmen,
and all the city officers elected at the general
law election last April from further per-
forming the functions of their various offices,
Judge Mott of the circuit court, to-day
granted the Injunction and required the COM
plainants TO enter into FIVE thousand dollars
bonds. The injunction does not interfere
with Mr.. Bowman as mayor of the CITY, as
he was legally elected to that Office prior to
the general law election last spring, but it
prevents him from presiding over the general
law council or In any way performing the
functions of an alderman. All the other
officers and the appointees of the general
law council are enjoined absolutely. The in
junction also requires the general law council
to deliver up all official papers, documents
and books, and all property belonging to the
city now In their possession, TO the charter
council. What effect this action of the court
will have upon Mayor Bowman and his ad-
herents is not known at this writing, but
Judging from the past it is believed that the
Bowmanltes will stand out until the supreme
court has passed upon their application for
rehearing OF the Stephens case and the order
for a supersedeaS.

The city tax-levy for 1873 Is something
startling. While hungry ofice-seekers and
blood-sucking politicians are making great
ado over the State tax. and are trying to
make the world believe they are the prom
Ised saviours of this tax-ndden community,
we do not hear word from them about this
city tax, which amounts to total of three
dollars and thirty-seyen cents on the one
hundred dollars in the eight old wards, and
one dollar and sixty-one cents In the new
wards. What Is the remedy, or is there any,
against the sweeping mandamuses which
thus IN 50 arbitrary fashion increase the
burdens Of the people, Cypress merchants
and manufacturers and retard the trade and
growth of the city? VIII the surrender Of
