The two weeks carousal of the
Military companies, at Crab Orchard,
at the States expense, was not to the
credit of Gov. Blackburn. 1t cost the
State about $4,000 and no good
whatever resulted from it. On the
eontrary,they brought discredit upon
themselves by drinking and fighting
like negroes at an election. This is a
poor way to retrench, but probably
enough was saved by cutting down
the pay ofthc meagerly compensated
lurymcn' to foot the useless bill. The
Governor has no moral right to thus

Much need hath he 70 waste the nights with care
Lest waking he should hear from dripping cave.

Much need hath he the live long day to toll

And store his gaping barns with heavy grain,
