Enforce the Laws.

GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf: A youth
out from home, with u pistol in his
pocket as a protection to his person and
honor, will venture to utter words and
commit acts that he would not other
wise do. Cowardicc is bolsteled up by
the pistol, when rcmorse should smito
the conscience and correct the mistake,
swing the boy from Il wretched life,
and making him n useful man.
This terrible mania for carrying pis-
tolls is growing to an alarming extent
among the negroes as we'll rs the
whites. A negro will give his last
hard-earncd nickel at day labor for a
pistol, and 60 barerooted for n hip
pocket and m old buster TO hide the
weapon. Just the other day a faithful
old colored woman applied to us fol-
advice and protection against a brutal
husband, who compelled her to cnslavC
for his wants ut the mu2zlc of a pistol.
constantly nourishing the pistol and
threatening to blow her brains out,
II is time that civilized society was
putting n ban upon this miserable Gus
tom and that the law be enforced 10 thC

Less NTOOnshine and More
Revenue.

Chicago Times Some sort of a treaty
of peace has been patched up between
the Government and the Tennessee
"moonshiners," under the terms OF
which prosecutions are to be suspended
on condition that the mountaineers
shall ego and sin no more" The am
nesty will save the Government an
enormous expenditure in prosecutions,
while there Is a prospect of large profit
to the revenue from the resumption OF
business by many of the distillers un-
der regular license, and in conformity
with the law. 1t is expected, also,
that the whisky-makers who are pay
ing taxes will hereafter be of material
service in preventing Illicit distillation
in their districts.

The editor of the Knoxville Chroni-
Gle has been on a Northern tour, and
here is what he says about the Grant
feeling:
"During a recent trip to Washington
and New York, we have been surpri-
sed at the unanimity Of public senti-
ment in favor of General Grant for the
Presidency in 1880. We knew that he
was a great favoritc with the people,
and we knew that the feeling in Re-
publican circles in favor of his nomi-
nation in 1880 was strong, but we did
not appreciate the overwhelming, ire
sistable tide in that direction. 1t is
practically unanimous among Repub-
Leans, and we have heard a mmber OF
Democrats declare their intention to
vote for Grant. We believe, if he is q
candidate, he will receive at least ten
thousand more yotesin Tennessee than
has ever been given TO 4 Republican
candidate in the State. Unless he de-
clincs, his nomination by the RepubIi-
cans is n forcgOnG conclusion, and his
| election is certain. W. do not know
that he will be a candidate, but, If he
Is, he will be the next President"

More DeAscratIC Corruption.

Article 2 section 10 of the constitu-
ton of Tennessee provides that:
"No Senator or Representative
shall, during the time for which lie
was elected be eligible to any Office or
place Of trust, the appointment TO
which ia vested in the executive or
General Assembly, except TO the Office
Of trustee of a literary institution"
It should be kept before the people
that Senators Savage and Wilson vi
plated this provision In letter and
spirit, in accepting ard acting under
the appointment to a ."placo Of trust"
as attorneys for the State in the
prospective nov Issue litigation. And
that is not all, and hardly the worst
Of these gcntlemen's conduct. They
were active in creating in their capac-
ity of legislators their "p!aces of
trust" and profit to which they were
appointed in violation Of the c0nsti-
tuition. With a greedy haste, as un-
teemly as it is Indecent, they have Ia,
ken two thousand dollars of the profit
of their job IN advance. The more
closely one looks into.tBe matter the
more he discovers of evidence that it
WAS a p~re-arranged job, put up in the
interest of the low tax reformers. So
disreputable a ring grab never before
diSgraced the politics of Tennessee

my little soldier falls into his place
just as the roll-call begins. 1t is
