The excise war, to be resumed in Albany
this week. hinges on the passage or defeat Of
the bill prepared and unanimously supported
10y the delegations from Now York. Brooklyn
and Buffalo. BY a very close vote. it was laid
inside last week. and victory was scored
against it. Yet members who then voted
against pushing 1t ahead say that they favor it,
and there is chance for its success. 1t differs
from tho existing imperative law in that the
hotel requirement is removed. aud liquor sell
ors are not to be arrested for violation OF its
provision without warrant first having been
granted. sunday selling is prohibited. as is
also selling between l and o'clock In the
morning. Two grades Of licenses may bo
granted. one for sprituous liquor. and another
for wines. ale and beer Tho more liberal tom
perance men support the bill but those Of the
stri,tcst sect prefer that the existing law shall
remain in force. and they have carried nearly
all the Assemblymen from the rural counties
with them.

PutItIn the Constitution.

Aversc as we generally are 10 tampering
with the fundamental law Of the State
there is one amendment to the Constitution
which we should not object to seeing made (;
and that is an amendment for the protec-

Whena child has a money box given him
with small aperture through which coins

with an Irresistible longing TO break open
the box and regain the treasure he had
undertaken TO reserve.
In our Legislature there are always more

cost, in discussing their destructive pro-
iccts. Besides, they are not certain always

The Central Park is essential TO the public
health, MS n breathing place and resting
place for the great multitude.
1t Is more necessary to the poor than TO
the rich; because the rich have the means
Of escaping from the heat of the city in mid
summer and cooling themselves at the
watering places, which the poor have not.
Millions Of dollars have been expended
upon Central Park, and it is now one OF the
most beautiful places in the world. Yet
certain Assemblymen ache to lay the axo to
the trunks OF its fine trees, and to spoil its
charming, shady retreats. How can we
cilectually and permanently keep them off z
Only by an amendment to the Constitu-
tion, providing that the entire Central Park
shall be forever reserved to the purposes
for which it was originally designed.

The drOuth has broken up, as usual,

good order to work.
The weather is remarkably cool and

Tobacco plants are small, but very

There are two dry goods stores, four
groceries, millinery shop and two
tobacco houses, all seemingly doing

that necessarily clogs every kind of

The death of Mrs. j. j. bee, which
took place on the 25th ultimo, caused
quite a gloom in the vicinity. She
passed away calmly and quietly-hav-
ing no fear Of death. She told her
friends not to weep, for she was going
home. She was kind mother and a
loving wife-ever faithful to her Chris
tian duty. Her funeral was preached
at Pleasant Hope church by Brother

NOTES FROM CORRESPONDENTS.
Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May, II.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May, II.
[From our Regular Correspondent.I
Ohio politics and the Presidency
all one aud the same thing, as some
people think-occupy good deal o.
attention hereabouts just now. JOIN
Sherman's trip west "to look after his
fences" gave fresh start to the spec
ulations that have been rife for some
time, and renews the talk of his oandi
dacy for Governor. There is no sort
of doubt that John is the Administra-
ton candidate for President in 1880,
and, failing in that, he wants to succeed
Judge Thurman IN the Senate. If he
believes that his chances of success
will bo enhanced by running fo: Coy.
ernor of Ohio, he will be the man,
and the political straws point pretty
strongly in that direction at present.
Despite all the Grant talk and the
well laid plans of his strikers to work
up Spontaneous movement in his
favor, knowing ones admit that the
presnt Secretary of the Treasury will
make a stronger showing, when the
time comes. than has been generally
suspected. The South has been count
ted solid for Grant, but when it is
known that all the Federal appoint
ments in that section are held for
Sherman's approval, and made strictly
in his interests, experienced politicians
will not be surprised to find the willy
John in the nominating convention
with strong sprinkling of delegates
from Dixie's land. Take this with
Ohio and the Cameron influence in
Pennsylvania, the Evarts and Curtis
influence to divide New York in his
favor, and it will be seen that he will
be long ways from behind in the
race. 1t is known that he could COM
mand unlimited supplies of money for
the campaign, and some shrewd work
ers predict now that he will beat both
Grant and Blaine in the convention.
The Senate proposes to look into
the Kellogg case. 1t is not the inten-
ton, as | understand it, to decide
between Kellogg and Spoford,
as that issue is believed to have been
settled. There is no sort of a doubt
but that Kellogg was admitted to his
seat without the shadow of a legal
title Tie Legislature that elected
him meyer had legal existence, many
cf its pretended members having never
been elected, and Packard, who signed
his certificate, never was Governor, but
the Senate, under Republican control,
admitted him, and the Democrats will
not follow the lawless and arbitrary pre-
OF their opponents by turning
him ont. But the charges of bribery
will be investigated, and, if proven, he
may have to step down and out to
make way for new election. Kel-
logg is among the deepest and worst
scoundrels the era of cor
rupt Radical rule gave to the country.
His crimes in connection with the last
Presidential election ought 10 have
jugged him for life. He has figured
largely in the annals of the Senate
during series of years. but has never
been elected Senator in his life. and
it is to be hoped that this is the last he
will ever be heard of here. PHoNo.
