The Maine Middle.
Chattanooga Times.

Names muss begins to assume
some interesting phases. We
shall probably have the question
tested whether the Anglo-Alner-
lean of the Maine type is more
or less of a ferocious savage than
brother Creole, French, Spanish,
etc, countryman of Louisiana. 1t
was the noble Frye,of Maine,w
recently remarked that theSouth-
eln people were semi-barbarians.
Does Frye see any signs of chaos
now when he casts his able optics
over the pine clad hills of his ma
tive domain.

Tolley IN the Tolls.
Murfreesboro News.

Whether Mr.. Tolley has sue
ceeded in re-ingratiating himself
in the confidence of his quondam
low-credit associates, is ques-
ton that must be very gingerly
answered. 1t is but fair to pre-
sumo that his earnest advocacy
of the 50-4 proposition was based
upon what he believed to be cor
rect principles--principles which
are Numerically opposed to the
doctrines now proclaimed by the
low-credit party, and his recent
overtures upon the ground of ex-
pediency, are hardly calculated
to inspire the confidence of ell
Their wing of the Democratic
party. There is no need of ar
gument to prove that if prin-
clple is correct a popular vote
against it cannot alter its quail
ty, yet this proposition seems to
form no part of Mr.. Tolley's phi
losophy. The question Of his
status is, however, OF little impor-
lance to the public, but it is an
important political study which
might afford matter to point a
moral or adorn a tale.

Once upon a time there was q
little village where the people
were happy and prosperous.
BY a uniled effort of lis best
citizens il had some years before
i,anishcd from it tho low houses
which arc almost everywhere
Tor dispensing poison TO the cit
liens, rendering them diseased
and poverty stricken, wrelched
and unfit for business. This
poison goes by various names,
whiskcy, alcohol, brandy, wine,
beer, etc, and people who use it
TO excess are called drunkards.
Immediately alter its Danish
ment every one perceived the
change. Drunkards became So
Der men and resumed their IN
dustrious habits. Brutal hus-
bands made so by this poison,
became kind to their families,
and kept them from want. Sons
and brothers who had become
so degraded as to lose The re-
spcct of all good persons, aban-
doned their bad habits and be-
came Industrious, respectable
men. Two years passed away,
and the little village steadily
moved on TO prosperity. People
in the surrounding rum-cursed
districts began to look with al
most envious eyes on the pros
porous, happy, temperate little
place, and to speak Of it as a
pleasant place to live in and one
of the best places in the country
for raising their children; for
there they would be out of the
way Of temptation. Some fami-
lies even moved into the place
solely on the recommendation
that no whiskcy was sold i'll the
place or near it. Anon, Satan
who is ever-hunting for mischief
to do, becoming angered at SO
much peace and prosperity, and
alarmed lest he lose some souls
he had once counted his own
whispered in the ears of some
one who called himself a man,
and who had been treated as a
gentleman by all the citizens,that
perhaps he might make a few
dimes by bringing this evil back
among the people. And although
this man had taken a solemn
VOW Leiore the Almighty God
and III tae presence Of witnesses
that he would never make, buy,
sell, use, furnish, or cause to be
furnished to others as a beverage,
any spurious or malt liquors,
wine, or cider, he listened to
TO the suggestion, and, IN opposi-
tion to the wishes Of every good
citizen in the place and surroun-
ding neighboihood, despite the
prayerful appeals to him from
sober men, and from men who
had once been in the power Of
the tcmpter, he bought his IL
cense and opened his shop foI
the purpose Of making men
drunkards and fitting them fol
perdition. The citizens Of that
place are, or try to be, peaceful,
law-abiding citizens. The laws
license this outrage. And al
though no man may measure the
sin and crime and shame that
may be brought among them by
this nuisance, they must bear il
because licensed by law and dare
not rebel. Can any man sug-
gest remedy? III.

The Russian mission, it is said,
goes begging. Mr. Hayes is re-
ported 10 have said TO a New
York Tribune correspondent, that
there were plenty Of people will
ing 10 accept the office, but des-
patches show that General Burn
side, and Gov. Van Zandt, Of
Rhode Island, have declined it,
and now. yonng Mr.. Mccormick,
who was once Assistant Secreta-
by of The Treasury, and who con-
trived to advertise himself in the
newspapers more largely than
Ayers Pills or Swayne's Verm-
ifnge were eyer advertised, wishes
it understood that he has refused
the office. Let the administra-
ton try a competitive examina-
ton, that is its panacea for all
Department troubles, if 10 par

can be found to ill a place.
The Baltimore Sun says SEN
ators Edmunds, Burnside and
-Anthony,ha advised the Maine
Republicans not to take any step
which might look like appealing
to force, but to submit under
protest to their wrongs, and en-
deivor to make the legislature,
by legal manner, carry out the
spirit OF the law under which
Gov. Garcelon has been acting.
This was a kind thing for those
Senators to do but probably I'M
necessary. The people who have
attempted TO bring on violence
in Maine were not in the army,
do not know what fighting is,
and never will except through
the newspapers. Neither, it may
be noted in passing, have any
lawyers Of standing assailed the
Governor for his course. The
whole excitement has been caus-
cd by men who are politicians
first, last and always. Even they
will now be glad to do as their
friends, the New England Sena-
tors named, advise them.
Hon. Fernando Wood, knows
much about the finances, and he
now insists that his plan Of re-
decming the high rate bonds
next year with B per cent. bonds
is practicable. Secretary Shcr-
man, however, argues, in a letter
Just published, that such a bond
can not be sold at par. The
question will be so thoroughly
discussed by these gentlemen,
through the newspapers, before
Congress meets, that members
will have little trouble in prepar-
ing their arguments on one side
or the other. The amount Of
five and six per cent. bonds to
be redeemed in 1880 and 1881 is
nearly 300,000,000.
