A Simple Question.

The evils arising from the sale and use of in
toxicating liquors seem to be very simple and
easy of solution to the minds of untutored bar
barians, bat when hedged about by the many
inventions which civilization and culture
have provided, there seems to be no end to
difficulties which are experienced. We are
told that the recently captured chief of the
Zulus, when insulted by drunken subject
in his own dominions, refused to inflict ven-
geance on him, saying that the man who
furnished him the liquor was more to blame
than he. Aud so with the benighted Indians
of Siberia. A letter in the New York Herald,
written by a gentleman accompanying the
Arctic exploring expedition, from st. Mich
aels Island, East Siberia, says;
The experience OF the agent and white residents
here is favorable one as regards the natives, but
sometimes the latter become restless and inclined
for war. Last year chief residing about sixty
miles to the northward made repeated threats to
come in and clean out st. Michaers The
place was put In fair state OF defence by Mr..
Neunann, preparations were made to give the
coming warriors a right hospitable reception at

warlike chief purchased two barrels of whiskey
from some traders and went on an unusually
heavy spree, which resulted in his having his
head split open with an axe by his brother-in-
law, similar fate overtaking his son Since this
domestic tragedy occurred the people Of the fort

that the whislSey was the cause Of the violent

tined to be "a great commercial center
at no very dis.a day, and we are
glad of if. The people of East Ten-
nessee feel proud Of Knoxville, and
justly so. A closer Intimacy would
inteneify that feeling and operate to
the mutual advantage of all concerned.

adopted the following:
Re8ozved, That it is the deliber-
ate judgment Of this Convention
that an act Of more enormous in
justice to the State Of Louisiana
and to the Republican party could
not be perpetrated by the National
Senate than the depriving this State
of one of It's Senatorial representa-
tives-tbe Hon. William Pitt Kel-
logg-after his claim to the seat he
now occupies has already been de-
liberately acted upon; that we do
solemnly and earnestly, but most
respectfully, protest in the namo of

ted action as a grave violation of
principle, and as a proceeding like
ly to be productive of most
mischievous consequences hereafter.

CIaudius Mayo, Of st. Landry, a

years past associated in the conduct
of the United States mint in this
city; for Secretary of State, James
D. Kennedy, of Orleans, a colo:ed
native of this city, an educated rep
resentative Of the colored people.
A resolution was adopted settin g
forth that if the col0red people are
accorded free and fair elections, al
lowed to vote and have their votes
counted, they will remain as oI
right in the State; if not, they will
be compelled to emigrate. A reso>
luton was also adopted declaring
that General Grant is their unalter'
able choice for President for 1880
The election of Dumont, who is al
out-andout Sherman man, as per

When to Sell.
Rnla New York.

Every one who is engaged in any
department Of agriculture or manu-
facture is supposed to have from time
to time something to sell or exchange.
On the disposition of this surplus de-
pends the supply Of al articles that
the person does not raise, embracing
ali implements and improvements Ct
every kind that require an outlay.
Hence it is q matter Of moment that
the sale OF these things be made at
the time the best price, all consldered,
will be obtained. 1t is possible 10 be
certain Of this time? In general, no.
There are many articles that con-
stitute exceptions. Those that can
not be conveniently preserved, must,
of course, be thrown on the market at
once. Others that are : in demand in
certain seasons only viii be governed
by the season trade. But the most
common and valuable products Of
human industry are always in market,
and yet are subject to frequent fluc~
tGations in price. Such are the lead
ing products of the farm and most Of
the useful manufactures. AS to these
no fixed rule can be given, but the
following suggestions will commend
themselves to the prudent: One
should keep himself informed of the
state of the market, especially in
places accessible to him, and as far as
practicable in places whose trade af-
fects directly his local market. The
best way to secure this is to take and
read good papers, that give not only
the tabular market statements but also
intelligent and impartial comments
and counsels. When necessity COM
pels one to sell, he can only submit,
regardless Of price; but in all other
cases, he ought to govern himself con
sistently by reasonable probabilities.
Unless 10 the face Of a comparative
certainty that there will be no ad-
vintage, economy plaiuly forbids the
| commodity at price that is not more
than its cost to the producer. Bus
mess can not live on losses. A GER
tain farmer who always prospered
made it a rule to sell every thing be
could spare as soon as it was in q
marketable condition. He never made
much at one time, but he avoided al
risks of rogues and fires, all injuries
by vermin and weather, all the trouble
and expense Of protracted storage, al
the reduction of shrlnkage and Incl
dental waste; and she was receiving
money now and then, through tht
year. It is safe advice to say thai
every one should be content to sci
at reasonable profit. To wait fol
very large price is dangerous policy
and, especially as to tie necessarle'
of life, very bad morals. What mar
must have, his fellow-man should b.
willing to furnish at any rates tha
are not exorbitant or oppressive. Busi
neesr should never violate the prin
cipIes Of maguanimity and tru'
charity.
