emies, but these. excessively as he
used them, impaired his powers, I'M
fitted him for labor, and rendered
him a confirmed drunkard. There
were in the town no less than eight
saloons, which he frequented in turn,
and upon which, after his earnings
dwindled to nothing, he was squan-
dering his capital The wife visited
the saloon keepers and. urged them
to.cease supplying her husband with
liquor. Some Of them assented; but
the husband on learning why it was
refused to. him, declared to her that
if the prohibition were not removed
he would abandon her and carry
away their child. Under this COM
pulsion she went with him to the sa-
looms, and reluctantly gave some con-
sent that liquor might be sold to
him. When she had done this, her
prospect must have seemed dark. But
just in time for her reliefthe law was
passed, declaring thatthe seller of liq-
uor shall pay for the harm it does. She
brought lawsuits against the eight sa-
loon Keepers for the harm done herin
making her husband a drunkard, and
reducing her from affluence to power
ty. Most of them paid hersomething
to stop the suits. One of them stood
out and resisted her claim to the end.
The end was that the jury condemn
ed him 10 pay ten thousand dollars,
to reimburse the money her husband
had squandered, and two thousand
more by way of punishment. The
dealer complained Of this as unjust
because he only sold beer and wine,
and the wife gave him leave todoso;
ana because twelve thousand dollars
was too much in any case. The
judges said that it was no matter
what he sold so that the husband was
made a drunkard by it, that he might
have known that wife coming with
her husband to say he might buy liq.
uor, only came because he compelled
her to do SO, and did not really mean
it; and that twelve thousand was not
at all too much, considering the prop
erty and income the husband had lost.
This sort of law, declaring that the
seller Of liquor shall pay for the harm
it does, is what is called q civil dam
age law.-Good Company, No. Three.

and by the same enemies who then threat
ened to capture Washington and drive
from 1t every Black Republican who is a
dweller therein.n In that hour of heated
arrogance they boosted that they would take
the National Capital, and that "Scorr, the
traitor and LINCOLN, the beast" COM
bined could not prevent it. They then
promised to teach the Illinois ape to repeat
his race and rctrace his journey across the
" borders of the froc-ncgro States still more
rapidly than he came" They then pro-
posed to give "SCoTT, the traitor, an oppor-
tunity at the same time to try the differ
ence between SCoTT's tactics and the

Eighteen short years have transpired, and
while the body of armed rebellion has sue
cumbed to the loyal power of the nation its
spirit has taken possession Of this beautiful
city, which was then threatened with inva-
sion and capture by rebels in arms. 1t is
not open war now that menaces the scat Of
the Government but starvation of the Gov

A WORD ABOUT GRANT.

If General GRANT really aud firmly in
ssts upon remaining q private citizen for
the rest of his life, he will not be able to
avoid demonstrative recognition at the
hands of his fellow countrymen as the
greatest hero of the age. His recent eXpe-
rience in the Old World, where he has been
the recipient of unbounded hospitality and
the most distinguished honors at the hands
of kings and potentates, and people Of high
and low degree, Pagans and Christians in
cluded, has served 10 arouse n spirit of jeal-
ousy among his millions of friends and adj
mirers at home, who are not willing that
the foremost man of America should be
courted and honored to n greater
extent by foreigners than he is
by Americans They propose to
make this apparent by giving him the
grandest reception on his return to his ma
tive shores ever exten1ed TO any public man
in this country, or in any other. And when
this reception is over, if his personal desires
not TO become u candidate for reelection to
the Presidency are not overcome by the pop
ular demand for his return TO public life, he
will continue TO occupy the most exalted
station in the esteem of every loyal Ameri-
can. That he should have lived to become
the cOnqueror of the greatest rebellion the
world ever saw, to have filled the Office of
Chief Magistrate of this great people for
two terms, and then TO have declined u third
election, which is now practically rendered
to him, would possibly he account
ed as greater achievement than
such reelection. In any event,
whether he renews his candidacy or
not, history will accord to him a rank far
above that attained by any of the great SOL
diers, statesmen and patriots of the past.
But it cannot be denied that his reelection
would reflect credit upon the country and
upon our form Of government, for it would
show that sterling patriotism combined
with eminent public services are not with
out reward in the Republic. Further, il
would demonstrate more clearly than in
any other possible manner the consistent
and persistent adherence of our people to
those principles for which the war was
fought and for which the priceless blood OF
patriotism and the millions of dollars il
cost were given in earnest sacrifice
But the Republican party is not rs some
of the more eager Bourbons seem TO
imagine, thoroughly bound up in aud COM
mitted to his denomination. He is appa-
rently and undoubtedly the choice of " ma
ority of the party to-day, and probably will
be when the nominating convention meets
next year; but he is not the sole candidate
for the nomination, nor does he handical
the party as TILDEN does the Democracy
