In our last issue, in commenting

In our last issue, in commenting
on the article from a. G.. Haygood,
president Of Emory College, Ga, ON
the subject of temperance, we were
led 10 state that the trade of osceola
was two hundred dollars. This was
not intended as a Joke ON our mcr-
chants. We meant To add thousand
after hundred; it was so written, so
marked in the proof, but NOT correct
ed. This amount, with us, is only
guess work; the trade may greatly
exceed two hundred thousand dol
lars.
The friends Of the Temperance
cause will be glad to learn that the
petition from the citizens residing
within three miles of Louise chapel,
Scott township praying the County
court that no license shall issue for
the sale or giving away of liquors as
provided by law, was granted, and
am order issued to that effect. We
congratulate the people Of that neigh
borhood on their success, AS from all
accounts there were spinc fearful
"going ON " there on "drunk days"
Now let petitions be presented to
stop it where it has not already been
done in the county, and we shall
soon test the merits Of prohibition.
Last Saturday was another tole
rably lively day, rendered so by the
dcyilish influence of John Barlcycorn
alias King Alcohol. The officers of
the law were kept very busy max
ing arrests, imposing penalties and
collecting fines &c. A whole wagon
load of drunken men going out of
town, became so noisy-yelling and
cursing as the wagon was being driv-
en- along, that the officers followed
and arrested the whole batch. They
were all brought back to town and
fined. Oh, yes, whiskey is a mighty
good thing, and should not be abol-
ished? 1t brings revenue into your
county and town treasury, furnishes
fees to your officers. and an easy
berth to finely dressed bar-keepers,
but it plays the very deuce with the
poor victims who are enticed to swal-
low the vile stuff, and causes many
a poor woman and her little brood
at home, unobserved by the world,
to suffer for the bare neccssaries of
life,

New YORK. May 2i.-A Commercial
Albany special says: The city is nearly
empty OF Representatives today. They
have all gone home to learn the views
of their constituents in regard to the
Senatorial election. Before they left the
tide had evidently turned and coming
down to hard facts it was seen that the
half.breed brags have not been warran.
ted by facts. Conkling's friends have
been quiet and have made no demon
stration, mainly because they are
without leader. Now while Conkling
may not take part in the contest
the Vice President will be here, and he
is posting himself. The people seem to
have forgotten that party rules must be
observed, that the caucus committee
will call caucus, that those Republi'
cans who refuse to 60 into the caucus,
or who, going in, refuse to be bound by
its'decision, will be boilers, and as such
expelled from the organization, and
that henceforth they will have nothing
to say as to party management, and Will
be excluded from its conventions. When
the facts are all considered, the Half
breed boasts don't pan out SO we'll as
they did two or three days ago.
The Express ALBANY special says:
There is no question that the Hall

while they are shrewd, careful men in
many respects, are by no means equal

ing on to and making the best use oil
every slight advantage. One thing is
absolutely certain, no compromise will
be effected which will bring about re-
turn OF either Conkling or Platt TO the
Senate. An effort, it is understood, will
be made to induce a stalwart leader to
come here and direct the fight in person.
This will, no doubt, be done il Conkling
intends to return TO the Senate, and will
considerably strengthen his followers.
Should he come to force his re election
he can accomplish nothing, for as l men
toned before. by no system OF maDipu-
lation can it be accomplished.

The Arrest Of Father sbsshy- Serious

DUBLIN, May 2l.-A special dispatch
says: The Government has taken bold
step in arresting q Catholic priest. Not
only in the county Of Limerick, but
throughout the whole South Of Ireland,
Father Sheehy has taken leading part
IN the land agitation. He was always a
bold and popular leader. He attended
the land conferences at Dublin and took
a main part in the debates, condemning
the Land bill. Four years ego ne gain
ed notoriety by Kissing the Queen at q
banquet given by Mr.. Parnell down the
Shannon, and, since the passing Of the
Coercion act, he has frequently chal
lenged the government to arrest him.
On the occasion OF Miss Parnell's visit to
Kilmallock, Father Sheehy, by some
pointed remarks, precipitated popular
outbreak and a dangerous demonstra.
ton against sub.inspector OF police and
another officer, who were in the crowd
listening to the speeches. The excite
ment caused by this unexpected actio
on the part OF the authorities is very
great. kilograms from the South repre-
sent the relations between the people
and authorities as very strained indeed.
There is no limit to the complications
which may arise out Of the arrest Of Q
priest who, among his order, has Ger.
tainly taken the most prominent partin

advanced developments Of the land agi.

prisoners were conveyed at once 10 Mas

lively scrap at McKee's Rocks, short
distance from this city down the Ohio
river, last evening. They were matched
for rough and tumble match at $l0O Q

the parties in consequence OF O'Connor
having iusulted kaiRe's wife day or

great secrecy in order 10 keep away the
police. Itwas witnessed by about thirty
sports, and was lively mill Of the 90 as
you.please order. Both men have
achieved regulations as hard hitters.
KAine stripped about twenty pounds

was callel for the first round they went
at it viciously, biting, chewing and
knocking. O'Connor was sent TO Rras
