TIE FLORIDA OFFICE HUNTERS.

While the Georgia Republicans are working
themselves up tremendously about the
patronage of that State. the Florida brethren
sre by no means idle. There are three leading
Florida Repu blicans in the city. Their names
are Ledwith, Gleason and Bisby or whatever
the COMPOUNDED name is. They have held a
meeting Lesser lights than they were present.
The substance of what they decided upon can
be easily reached. They came to the conclu-
sion that the patronage of Florida should be
doled out under their especial direction with the
pick of what was to be had reserved to them
selves and particular friends This is one thing.
Inducing President Garfield to consent to it is
another The Reverend Mr.. Hicks, who is per-
haps not unknown to the people Of Florida,

Florida patriots, wants something OF course

NO EXTRA SESSION.

For some time before the adjournment of
Congress, and since, there has been talk in
some quarters OF an extra session OF Congress,
funding bill failed to become a law, but really
for the reason that the Republicans of the
House could the earlier grasp the patronage of
that body. Added to this influence was that Of
from the sitting of Congress From these two
elements came a cry that there would certainly
be an extra session. AS was stated in this cor
respondence some time since; there VIII be
or extra session of Congress The people who
expect to be employees of the next House, and
the people of this city who gather In ducats by
the presence of Congress. may therefore con-
tent themselves, in so far as they may. with the
disappointment President Garfield, 1t is
learned on good authority, never contemplated
the calling of an extra session.

"The Old FOOLS Drunk"

ED. FREEMAN | don't know
whether you remember the woman
from French Creek or not, as you
were not q very large boy at the
time she and her husband, while on
a journey homeward nearly thirty
years ago, stopped at our old home
stead to 'tarry all night"
Taverns few and far between
and father, you know, never outliv-
ed his Old Virginia hospitality, and
frequently was the door opened to
the weary traveller; and the semi
circle around the old familiar
hearthstone, warmed by the glaring
heat of an old-fashioned wood-fre,
was widened to take the stranger
in"
And so one cold wintry night
these weary travellers We're shelter
ed from the stormy blast, and found
a resting place under the foliage of
that old familiar roof-tree.
AS we were all seated around and
enjoying the comforting warmth of
the bright blazing fire, by chance
sat next the old lady. While the
old gentleman's conversation, what
little there was of it, was directed
to father, his wife must needs direct
hers to me. You know | never
was much of a talker, and always a
little bashful in the presence of
womankind, and if they didn't lead
OFT there was more silence than
sound. But this woman from
French Creek could talk as fast as
| could listen. 1t seemed that
there had been a little difference be-
tween the two; he had wanted to
push on toward home, but her mind
was not to travel in the night, and
SO she must tell me all about it, and
waxing warm, she broke out in this
wise:

that when they are thoroughly
awakened they will endorse the

I will send you barrel OF fine

Yes, "Ol.," you are indeed ours

Will the Amendment Pass?

Provided the absent delegate from
Boone county, Mr.. Meadows, rccov-
ers his health and takes his seat at
the. adjourned session, the House
will be composed of sixty-five mem
bers. 1t will require forty-four af-
firmative votes to pass the Prohibi-
ton Amendment. The general
sentiment of the House is strongly
in favor of it. Many favor it be-
cause they are out-and-out Prohibi-
tionists. Others, because to submit
such proposition to decision of
the people is eminently Democrat
ic, and though they doubt the util-
ity of such a measure, vet the peo-
pie should be allowed to discuss it,
and settle it at the polls.
The only vote taken in the House
that would indicate atall how they
stand, was the vote on the motion
to table, made by Mr.. Leonard, of
Wood county, on the Oath Of Febru-
ary. On that motion the ayes
were
Bell, Crrssap, Crumrino, DAVIDSON,
Dav, Edmiston, Fisher, of Hardy !;
Floyd, Hackworth, Hubbard, John
son, Leonard, Lynch, Mcneil, Moi
felt, Monroe, Morrow, Seabright,
Settle, Sharp, Thompson, Wells, of
Marion; Wilson, of kanawha.-23.
Those voting no we're
Babb, Beckwith, Bee, Brady, Cox,
Davis, Depue, Dodrill, Evans, Fer
guson, Fisher, of Braxton; Fulker-
son, Grantham, Hobbs, Holt, Irons,
Kepnerr, Lowry, Lurty, Lusk,
Quarter, Riley, Rowley, Sheppard,
Steere, Sydenstricker, Tippett, Wat
son, Wells, of Tyler; Wilson, of
Barbour-34.
Those absent and not voting
were
Hall, of Barbour; Hall, Of Wet
eel; Maxwell, Poe, Siler, Sinclair
and Wayt.-7
All who voted against laying the
Amendment on the table We're
presumably in favor Of its passage,
though OF course not certainly SO.
Of the absent members, six of them
we believe will vote for it on it's
final passage. This belief is based
ON what we deem to be reliable in
formation. Among those who vo-
ted to table it, some explained that
they voted so because it could not
pass the Senate at this session, and
as their time was limited, they
thought the consideration Of the
Amendment should go over till the
adjourned session. Certainly some
of the best friends of the measure,
like Sharp and johnson, voted to
table it. So, from the best informa-
ton we can gather, there are, we
think, at least six members who vo-
ted to table, will vote for the

Yes, we do remember, and among
the many incidents of those long
ago-davs, the following comes fresh
|ly before us: One cold night two
belated Irishmen, who had been
trying to keep warm by firing up
internally, stopped at the old Home
for lodging. After getting thawed
out, they sat down to the supper
set for them. One of them had ia
ken too much that was not meet,
and being too sick to eat, left the
table and returned to the big wood
fire. Every little while he would
arouse from his sick stupor and
exclaim to his partner, "Jemmey,
Jemmey; ate all night, j emmey, Pve
nothing to say" Along in the
evening brother Abe and some of
the hands were figuring up and
making calculations in reference to
making rails and building certain
string of fence. Our whisky-sick
and befuddled guest tried to listen
and catch the drift of the converse
ton, and desiring to have little
hand in the arithmetic too, broke out
with, "Yis sur, me friend, Wis sur,
yer right; forty oughts is ought,
forty twos is twelve-jist two dollars
and half for fifty-fve rails" The
boys will all remember this we'll.
And yet they keep telling us
nowadays that the whisky of
thirty years ago was pure and didn't
make fools of people.

What's the Matter +!

We see from the West Union
Record, that at the recent term of
their Circuit Court, in seven cases
of indictments for unlawful retail
ing liquor, the defendant was dis
charged without prosecution, one
Indictment was quashed, and TWEEN
ty-three cases for the same offense
were continued The Record OBJ
serves that the Bar was we'll repre-
sented at the Court. Well, it would
seem so, and before too. The Record
adds, that the Grand Jury found
few indictments at this term,
(which speaks much for our good
order" Well, that depends. With
over thirty-odd indictments on the
docket for the same offense, and no
conviction during the term, a Grand
Jury wouldn't be likely to hunt up
new cases to be pigeon-holed.
What'sthe matter? May it not be
that somebody out there don't want
"prohibition to prohibit ?"

Amendment on its passage. On
this basis, the Amendment would
have forty-six votes, two more than
enough. But we think there is a
greater probability that six Of the
remaining nineteen will vote for
the Amendment, than that any one
of those counted as for it will vote
against it.
AS to the Senate, those who voted
to indefinitely postpone we're
Davisson, Dennis, Donehoo, Ewin,
Faulkner, Maxwell, McNeel, New
man, Roberts, Shelton, Stollings,
Stout, Vanmeter, Williams, Woods.
ID. f..
And those who voted against
postponement we're
Barbee, Brown, Dawson, Farms
worth, McGrew, McGregor, Sam
pies, Smith, Summers.-9.
The, latter will stick to the
Amendment to the end. 1t will
require seven additional votes to
pass it. Some three of the fifteen
have said, since the vote, that they
wanted to see how their constitu-
ents feel about the measure. 9th
ers are not very decided as to what
ought to be done. If the people of
the State will arouse themselves
and strike now, we are confident
that the seven, and more than sew
en- additional votes can be had in
the Senate, and the people of West
Virginia will at the next general
election enjoy the opportunity late
" given to Kansas and now accor-
ded to North Carolina, to say by
their votes, we will have no more
of the liquor traffic.

WoRTHINGToN, W. VA,
March 81. 1881

ED. FREEMAN: When the Prohi-
bition movement was started, we
waited long time for some of the
petitions to reach this vicinity; but
as none came we began to think
that those who attended to distribu-
ting them had concluded that we
were temperate enough. Well, we
were so for long time, but a GER
tain doctor came among lis recently
and began prescribing whisky by
the pint as a sure cure for all mala-
dies, and filling the prescriptions
himself. Had it not been for a
Grand Jury, selected with an espe-
cial view to screening all whisky
sellers, we would have gotten rid of
him. We got up petition of our
own and had it numerously signed
and forwarded to our member of the
House of Delegates. Next cam
paign the temperance people will
see to it for whom they vote for the
House of Delegates. ! send you

ONE HUNDRED AND TEN TRUE
BILLs.-The CircuitCourt, sitting in
Taylor county last week, seems to
have had as lively a time with vio-
lators of law as some other courts.
The Grand Jury was in session
four days and found 40 indictments.
The Grafton papers are too modest
to tell us the particulars, but as the
cases run from 3 to II against indi-
viduals, and as numerous verdicts
follow, running from $40 to $50
fine, we can well guess that whisky is
causing little trouble and expense
in Taylor, as well as in Wood.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-03-30

The Huntington press advises us,
that the liquor indictments found
against their city dealers, were
mostly for selling to minors, and
that they were successfully defend
ed on the ground that they did not
know the purchasers to be minors.
1t is very convenient to be ignorant
at that point. We've known deal
ers, that couldn't tell minor if he
were to come in, in his nurses arms,
and with the nipple in his mouth
cry to have his beer put in his suck
ling-bottle.
