CHARLES II. CHASE FOR COUNCILLOR
Garcelon's Election Conceded.
Especial to the Press. |


AUGUSTA, Jan. /.
House and Senate organized quietly this morning
the nominations being rigidly supported. In
the Senate Mr.. Thomas took the Democrats and
Greenbackers by surprise in the introduction of his
hard money resolutions, which he supported in a
vigorous speech. Senator Barber moved to lay them
on the table, but the Republicans passed them by a
strict party vote. In the House they were laid on
the table by vote of 80 to &c. Democrat Feyler
of Wadoboro, and two GreenbackeEs Pierce of Scion
and Horne of Berwick, voted with the Republicans.
The House then fastened to adjourn, forgetting the
appointment of a joint committee to count the CUB
ernatoral vote 30 that matter goes over until to.
morrow, and no report will be made until Friday.
Meanwhile President Haynes of the Senate will be
acting Governor.
Considerable irritation is shown by some of the
Democrats, Wilson of Thomas CD, who in an en-
phatic hard-money man, declares that the union of
the two factions is only temporary and for the speci
c purpose OF organization of the state government
Most of the other Democrats think differently how
ever, and mean to absorb the Greenb hackers this
winter. 1t is generally believed that only two par
ties will be in the field next fall. The fat-moDey
folly will be kept out of sight as much as possible,
and the fight made against the national bank sys-
TEN. Some of the Greenbackers are complaining
that the Democrats are grabbing everything, and
some of the Democrats admit, with a chuckle, that
they are. The most disappointed man in Augusta is
David Dunn. He was nominated for clerk of the
House last night by. exactly the number Of votes
necessary to choice. His opponents began to sug-
gest in whispers that there had been fonl play To-
ward midnight it occurred to them that the caucus
in the morning had resolved that the first ballot
should be informal, and they moved for second and
formal ballot. Many OF Dunn's friends had left the
hall and SO Dickey's man Staples was nominated.
The leaders Of the coalition are greatly ncsnsed
at the PRESS reports of their plans. Some who have
both feet in the trough are especially indignant at
the hog comparison. Others contrast the PRESS and
Argus, and point with pride to the elegant scholarly
and vivacious style of the Argus its nice sense of
decacy, its chaste imagination, and its general high
tone. "That is the sort of family newspaper we
want" they cry. sit always calls Blaine 'Jim and
Reed Tommy and talks 80 cautiously OF radical
thieves"
1t is generally conceded here tonight that Garce-
Ion will be Governor.

M. Lacerdo has given much atten-
ton to the character and effect of the
venom of the r~attlesnake. The poi
o seems TO be of the nature of q
ferment. The red corpuscles of the
hood of animals bitten by a snake
begin to display small brilliant points
on the surface, which increase rapid
Iy in number, and the globules unite
with each other, forming q paste
which can not circulate through the
veins. Affected blood, if introduced
into the circulation of other animals,
will produce the same symptoms and
fatal termination rs the original virus.
The author believes that the best anti
dote for snake-poisoning is alcohol,
which may be given to the patient to
drink or may be administered sabcu-
ta~neously.

History Of

Alcohol was invented $50 years ago by
the son OF a strange woman, Hagar, in
Arabia. Ladies used it with a powder to
paint themselves, that they might appear
more beautiful, and this powder was called
alcohol. During the reign OF William and
Mary an act was passed encouraging the
manufacture Of spirits. Soon after, intem-
perance and profigacy prevailed to such
an extent, that the retailers in intoxicating
drinks put up signs in public places inform
ing the people that they might get drunk
for a penny, and have some straw to get So
Der on. In the sixteenth century, distilled
spirits spread over the continent OF Europe.
About this time it was introduced into the
colonies, as the United States we're then
called. The first notice we have of its use
in public life, was among the laborers Of
the Hungarian mines of the fifteenth CEN
fury. In 1851, it was used by the English
soldiers as a cordial. The alcohol in Eu-
rope was made Of grapes, and sold in Italy
and Spain as medicine. The Geonese after
wards made it from grain, and sold it as
medicine in bottles, unde the name of the
water of life. Until the sixteenth century
it had not been kept by the apothecaries as
medicine. During the reign OF Henry VII.
brandy was unknown in Ireland, and soon
it's alarming effect induced the government
to pass a law prohibiting its manufacture.
About n hundred and twenty years ago
it was used as beverage, especially among
the soldiers in the English colonies in
North America, under the preposterous no.
ton that it prevented sickness, and made
men fearless on the field Of battle. 1t was
looked upon as a sovereign specific. Such is
a brief sketch Of the introduction of alcohol
into society as a beverage. The history Of
it is written in the w~retchedness. the tears,
the groans, the power tv and murder Of thou
sands. 1t has marched the land with the
tread Of a giant, leaving the impress of his
foot print in the bones, sinews and life's
blood of the people.

The Comins.sloyf Libel Suit.

Commenting on an item in a recent
issue Of the SENTINEL, the Ward Reflex
says: The outlook for White Pine is any
thing but promising, seeing that the reve-
nues Of the county for the present year
will not go far toward defrsying the ex-
penses incurred by this now celebrated
libel suit. 1t is to be hoped a nolle pros.
will be entered in the case and hat Judge
Rives will entertain the motion. An un-
p%rejudiced jury cannot be impaneled in
the county. and a change of venue would
be TO no purpose. As we have before stat
ed. and now repeat, it is useless to attempt
to try the case in the State, with a view to
convicting the defendant. 1t would be
worse than useless, and a useless expense
also, to summon men from any portion Of
the county to act as jurymen, for all are
more or less prejudiced.
