Is it any argument against capital punishment
to say that the rope hath its victims, or any
argument against the law for the punishment
Of theft to say that it will be broken? 1t is
being carried out upon par with other laws
wherever adopted. Is Montgomery less law
abiding and less law-enforcing than they
Mr.. HIS whole conception OF Local Option
seems perverted. He argues precisely as il
the law was a legislation against the use of
Alcohol. This position bears such an affinity
TO absurdity as to be painful--really more re-
voting to common sense than the most ludi-
crous bluuder in lexicology. 1t would be an
assumption OF authority upon the part of the
most autocratic ruler to dictate TO his subjects
what they shall eat or drink. This would
be an innovation of those broad fundamental
principles of Democracy, which he has gone
over so often. This is one of the Will-o' the
wisps that ne has been chasing, one OF the
wind-mills that he has been punching at
Whenever we attempt to legisate upon tenn
perance we injure the cause, we can only per-
suade men not to eat or drink what will cause
their destruction, when the drink or meat is
within their reach but we can and do by law
suppress the sale Of such drink or meat as Is
injurious.
There is another phase Of this subject which
has not been presented the saving of taxes
some imagine that the suppression of the Ii
quor license increases taxes. Our Jail and
court expenses beside the salaries of the jud dyes
amount at minimum to $40, 900. The income
of revenue for whisky license is at maximum
ST, 500. The clerks and those in authority
say that at least three-fourth of this expense
is traceable directly to whisky. Now, allow
ing that tn is whole revenue from license stops
in the county, and the sale of whisky yet
brings US in debt &c. 900. Besides this, aims
house expenses range from $4,000 10 Sc, 900
per annum. Our county pensioners, So, 900
our lunatics, $4,000; pauper collins, $500.
Here is about $40, 900 for the charity tax OF
our county per year. How much Of this is
traceable TO whisky, God only knows.
think we would be safe in saying that in time
at least, SIS, 900 would be saved by the sup
preston of whisky. Here, then, we pay taxes
every year 10 the amount of $ll, 900 directly
charged TO whisky and which can be saved to
our taxpayers by the suppression of the whis-
ky trade. This is certainly paying very dear
for wetting whistles.
Now, since there is every incentive for the
free and untrammeled voter to cast his vote
against license, are we expecting too much
from the intelligent people of this county,
when we ask them to give this most humani-
tartan, beneiceAt, economical and wise law
the unqualified seal of appreciation on Tues
day next, November I'd.
And now Mr.. Hobart Hutton, Personality,
Criticism and Local Option, | bid you an af-
fectionate farewell

1t would not be exactly the right thing at
the close of the present campaign were the
Democracy of this county to forget due
recognition of the services of those who di-
rected the affairs of the party. The men,
bers ofthe State Central Committee, Messrs
Hattersley w. Talbot, Joseph Henderson
and Spencer Watkins, of this county, above
all Others, deserve the heartfelt thanks and
gratitude of the Democratic party, for their
untiring and diligent labors. If we lose
the battle on Tuesday next it will be
through no fault of theirs; they have per-
formed almost impossibilities, and their ef.
forts, we doubt not, will be rewarded on
Tuesday next, by placing Old Montgomery

The Sixth Congressional District can and
must be redeemed on Tuesday next, by the
election to Congress of Col Schley. True
men of all parties, who wish to see their
country prosperous and happy, and who do
not believe with Mr. Urner that old John
Brown was right when numbering citizens
of Virginia in cold blood, that soldiers at the
polls are necessary, or that citizens should
be dragged hundreds of miles from their
home to be tried upon false charges before
packed negro juries, should show their con.
domination of Urner and his heresies by
casting solid vote for our worthy candi-
date for Congress, Col. James NJ. Schley.
