cratic caucus in placing Mr.. Davis at the
head of the Committee on the Judiciary in
their attempt to organize and control the
Senate. This position he declined with
thanks, and asked TO be assigned to the Sec
ond place on the committee. Among other
things, Mr.. Davis explained that he had not
acted ''distinctively" as a Democrat, and
should never become q Democrat until that
party had "changed its methods and broad
ened its wisdom" He had been q member
of the Republican party and felt proud of its
grand achievements, but had separated him
self from it because of its "extreme measures
after the war" From sense of obligation
to the Democratic party for having elected
him to the Senate of the United States he
said he should vote to continue the Demo-
cratic organization of the Senate, although
some parts Of that organization were unsatis-
factory to him. While Mr.. Davis's remarks
on this occasion command respect from their
evident candor, one cannot help remarking
that, asusual, heponderous Senator contrived
to come down on the Democratic side of the
fence.

The temperance movement in different
parts of the country develops from time to
time some new and interesting features,
though of a widely varying character. Last
fall, it will be remembered, Kansas passed a
constitutional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors
in its borders, and now its legislature has
passed series Of acts TO make that prohibi-
ton operative. The manufacture or sale of
cider and wine, as well as of all other liquors,
except for scientific, mechanical or medicinal
purposes, is forbidden, and except in cases of
real sickness, physicians are put under oath
not to prescribe liquor of any sort. The APP
plicant for liquor for purposes within the law
must make his application in writing, giving
his name, residence, occupation, the quantity
and kind of liquor wanted and the purpose
for which it is wanted, all attested before
magistrate, and this application must be filed
in the Probate Court and kept as a record for
two years. If person causes the intoxica-
ton of another person by providing liquor
either by sale, barter or gift, he must pay for
the care Of the drunken man while drunk and
$5 per day besides. Persons may not be
connected with clubs where liquor is kept
without being subject to heavy fines, and
finally any shift or device to evade the pro-
visions Of the law shall be deemed unlawful
selling and be punished accordingly.
In some of the southern states, we observe,
the Legislatures have 30 far overcome their
rePugnAnce to northern ideas and institutions

The Cuar's Care for his solaiers.

The accounts OF the assassination Of the
Gar contain the statement that "his children,
the soldiers, were very much affected at the
loss Of the Emperor. The fatherly care Of
the government has been such that the soldier
was happy and contented, knowing that every
thing was being done for his comfort and
safety that could be. An incident in the late
war illustrates this. By order of the govern.
ment Estey organs were purchased and
placed in the trains carrying the sick and
wounded from the seat of war; musicians
were hired to take care of them and play for
the amusement of the soldiers, and as a re-
suit all through that great empire the name
of Estey is a household word.

as TO adopt stringent prohibitory laws but,
whether they are vouchsafed as q blessing 10
the white population, or hurled at tho blacks
as an added curse, does not yet appear.
OF "a different character is the experiment
which has lately been tried at Brockton,
Mass, an account of which has been furnish
ed by the selectmen of that town in their re-
cent annual report. It appears that they de-
termined last year that only one license for
selling liquor should be granted, and that
that license should be taken out by one of
their own board This licensed shop was
called the dispensary, although it was not
pretended that liquors were to be sold for
medicinal purposes only. All adults who had
not proved themselves unfit TO Judge for
themselves when they could use liquor, could
buy it at the dispensary, but not to drink on
the premises. Drunken or partially drunken
or irresponsible persons could not be custom
ers. Pains were taken to procure as pure
liquors as the market affords. With the re-
suit of this experiment the selectmen express
themselves highly grathed. Drunkenness has
actually diminished instead of hiding in pri-
vate clubs and by other "ways that are dark &"
Quite large profit on the outlay goes to the
town. President Porter of Yale college, Prof
Perry of Williams college and other political
economists of high standing, approve the
Brockton plan, which is very similar to that
which has been for some years in successful
operation in Gottenburg, Sweden.
These widely differing experiments will be
watched with much interest by the people of
intersections ofthe country, and doubtless will
aid in the final solution of the greatest ques-
ton of the age, namely, "What system of
legislation will best conduce to the discour-
agement and suppression of intemperance ?"

The life of a United States marshal in some
portions of the South is not by any means
one of dead monotony, utterly devoid of Incl
dent or excitement On the 9th inst dep
uty marshal, with ten men, went on hunt
for crooked whiskey in Letcher county, KY,
and on entering the foothills of the Cumber-
land mountains were welcomed by party of
moonshiners who fred brass cannon, load
ed with nails, scraps of iron and the like, at
them as an expression, doubtless, of their re-
gard and distinguished consideration. The
cannon overshot its mark and the marshal's
party showed themselves so utterly unappre-
ciative of the spirit and methods of Southern
chivalry as to charge upon these hospitable
gentlemen, capture their cannon and drive
them across the country into an adjoining
county.

At a dinner given in his honor by the Man
haitian club in New York, Saturday evening,
Maj. Gen. Hancock said ~ can only say in
relation to the political canvass of 1880 that
have no fault to find with the support of
my friends, and nothing to regret of my own
acts and words" That was about the most
unfortunate speech possible with the recol-
lections of the Morey letter only too fresh in
the public mind. The Democratic candidate
has mo fault to find" with "Billbarnumism"
which fathered and wantonly pushed most
infamous and now acknowledged forgery.
If Gen. Hancock was bright and well post
ed man he would know that we have not yet
seen the end of the Morey letter. The law
yers are pushing their investigations and
have about reached bottom facts. Instead of
one forgery there are three, plannedand exc
cuted by the same parties, and all intended
to make votes for Gen. Hancock. The Wea-
yer letter, concocted TO show that the Re-
publioans were manipulating the Greenback
campaign, aud through which it was hoped
to drive straying Democrats back to the old
fold; the alleged letter of Mrs. Gen. Sherman
to the editor of Catholic newspaper advising
friends of the mother church to vote for
Hancock and the Morey Chinese letter-all
these were forgeries written and put out by
the same little ring of Democrats. But what
ever happens, Candidate Hancock has said
II have no fault TO find with the support of
my friends"

After mature consideration the Secretary of
the Treasury decided, with the concurrence
of the President and the other members of
the Cabinet, that the banks could not be al
lowed to withdraw the legal tenders deposit
ed by them to retire circulation in anticipa-
ton of the passage of the obnoxious funding
law. To regain their circulation they must
begin anew in the regular routine way. Most
of the banks have done this and the treasury
officials believe that the usual amount of cur
rency will be in circulation by the end of the
present week. The decision of the admins
tration in the matter is universally approved
as sound, conservative and wise.

The fact that the President has renewed
the nomination of Stanley Matthews of Ohio
to the vacant place on the United States Su-
preme Bench causes universal feeling of
surprise and regret among Eastern Republi-
cans. The Senate, it will be remembered,
refused or neglected to confirm Mr. Mat
thews's nomination when made by Mr. Hayes
just before the close of his term, and his re-
nomination by President Garfield seems like
an unaccOuntable blunder. That Mr.. Mat
thews is a man of strict integrity no one
doubts, but the feeling strongly prevails that
he does not possess the balance of mind and
judgment requisite in a member of the high
est court in the land.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH THE INyEN-
TORIES ?-The Montpelier Waterman thinks
that the individual inventories required under
the new tax law should be destroyed as soon
as the listers are through with them, and is
undoubtedly right about it
''Section fifteen of the law requires the
listers of each town to arrange the personal
lists of all taxpayers in alphabetical order
and lodge the same in the town clerks office
for the inspection of the taxpayers of such
town. What disposition shall be made of the
inventories is not stated in the act. We have
no doubt as to what disposition should
be made of them. We regard them as strict
ly matter of confidence between the tax
payer and the state as represented by the list
ers. The net results deduced from these in
ventories the listers are directed to ex-
expose TO public view. The details of a tax
payers affairs, from which this result was
obtained, the public have no right or business
to know. The taxpayer having satisfied the
listers, the public must accept this and the
published list as fnality, and thereupon we
see no reason why the Inventories should not
be destroyed. Their publicity, or the risk of
publicity which their existence involves is
an unwarrantable and dangerous menace to
each taxpayers personal and private interests.
The information which these lists contain in
the hands Of mans enemy might lead to his
financial ruin. The state has not required
this information for inquisitorial purposes,
and having served their original and legiti-
mate end the inventories should be destroy
ed
