Mr. Dallas Saunders and Mir. .Ker, the Dem ocratic lawyers sent by the Attorney General to South Carolina to assist the district attor- ney 1n the prosecution of offenders against the election laws, return to Philadelphia with a rather poor opinion of some of the per formances of their party in Sonth Carolina. Mr. Ker cannot understand why the people should oppenly oppose and denounce the prosecution of notorious offenders against their own laws. The laws are of their own making, he says, and are one sided enough to suit them, yet they insist upon breaking these very laws, and are enraged that any one should call them to account for f. These Philadelphia lawyers were surprised, too, at the reception given to them by the people of Charleston, members of their own party, who treated them rudely, booted them in the streets stoned their lodgings at night, and by these and other attentions showed that they were regarded as the hirelng agents of an alien oppressor. When they went to South Carolina they did not put much faith in the stories of ballot box stufing but the evidence soon convinced them. II am a Democrat, , said Mir. Ker, ''and firm believer in Demo cratic principles, but I cannot countenance perjury and crime carried on under the pre- tence of aiding the Democratic party"

Senator Ingalls, asked Senator Farley why, if the Chinese are what the people of Califor- pia say they are, those people continue to employ them and thus encourage them to re- main in the country. The anti Chinese agi- tators are beginning to perceive the logic of this conundrum. The San Francisco CdU advocates strongly the formation of anti Chinese leagues, the members of which shall not employ Chinamen. SsyG the Gull: If one-fourth of the 5000 Chinese servants now employed in American households were re- placed by white girls the cost of bringing the latter to this coast would be triling in com. parison to the good that would result This might be accomplished within three months and it would signal turn of the tide in the right direction" "

Since ths recent assault upon Miss JeBett there has been demand in the eastern part of the State for the enforcement of the tramp law The New London Telegram says: Every one of the tramps arrested on suspi- cion of assaulting Miss Jewett had lodged in station houses and would have been discharg- ed without detention had it not been for the crime of one of their fellows. Here in New London the lodging of tramps in the station house is an almost nightly occurrence, but no one ever hears of their prosecution. What right have the police officers to skelter crim- inals and discharge them at their own dis crotion Or what right have State and city attorneys to defeat the tramp act by refusing to prosecute under it A vigorous enforce ment Of the statute would rid Connecticut of tramps in a fortnight, but so long as the au thorities wink at it's open violation so long will such outrages as that committed last week on Miss Jewett be possible"

The House on Saturday voted that Mr. Lynch is justly entitled to the seat which has been claimed and until now wrongfully held by Mr. Chalmers. Mir Chalmers had, on his own showing, not the least right to the seat. Mir. Lynch had the majority of votes in a dis trict scandalously gerrymandered to secure 1t to the Democrats, and it was only by throw Ing out number of votes on barren tech nicality that Mir. Chalmers could get even the Governors certificate. The Democrats, with the exception of MT. Ellis, of Louisiana, voted against Mir. Lynch and for Mir. Chal- mers. MT. Lynch is a colored man who has served very creditably in Congress before, 8 man of some culture, fair ability and excel lent character, of whom neither his white nor his colored constituents need to be ashamed. He is one of three colored men Mississippi has sent to Congress, all of whom have made good record. The other two are Senator Bruce and Senator, RsYels. % -

The State Temperance ConveD-
ton adopted substantially the fol-
lowing resolutions in regard to the
policy of temperance people in the
approaching State convention, but
which by some means were not
published in any Of the reports of
the proceedings of the term:
Resolved, That in the approach
ing State election we earnestly rec
Ommend that no distinctively tenn
perance candidate be nominated for
any office where either the Demo-
cratic or Republican party will, up
on an honest platform, put into the
field a candidate pledged TO resist
by vote and influence the repeal of
the sO-called flour mile law" sup
port the general cause of temper
ance as set forth by this convention,
but that the friends of temperance
unite their support upon him with
out regard to party.
Resolved, That where both the
great political parties named, NOM
mate men who are pledged as
above, then we recommend that no
organized action be taken by tenn
perance men.
Resolved, That where neither of
the great political parties nominate
man who is openly and fully
committed as above set forth, then
we recommend that candidate be
nominated from the strongest of
them in the territory which the
vote is to be taken, aud put into the
field as temperance candidate, but
not cramped in the assertion of his
political convictions, and that tenn
perance men give him a unanimous
support without regard to party.

Two Phqses Of the Question.

The first view we take of crime is
from a religious standpoint. We
seek to make bad men good men.
We seek to convert sinners. We
persuade, we exhOrt, we warn, and
many abandon wickedhess and en-
brace the holy religion of Christ.
But in almost if not every commu-
nifty there will be more or less who
viii not yield. They do not care
for the gospel and will not be con-
verted. This gives rise to the ne
cessity for viewing crime from a
civil standpoint. Those who are
really good men and do not need
the restraints of law, feel the want
of protection against the misconduct
of the INSCRIPTIONS. Hence where
moral and persuasive means fail to
induce men, voluntarily, to aban-
don crime, the interests of society
require that, by force they should
be compelled to abandon it, so far
as the rights of Others are affected,
are the two phases of the temper
ance question. We should reform
the drunkard and convert him if
we can for his own sake, and, incl
dentally, for the sake of Others
This is one side. But if he will not
be reformed and led, voluntarily,
TO abandon drunkenness, then, for
the sake of society, he should be
compelled to abandon it.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
Rev. ). R. GooDPAsTUHE. Editor


1t is incumbent upon us, perhaps,
to say something in the nature of a
salutatOry. In entering upon our
duty, we feel grateful that such an
opportunity is afforded us of reach
ing persons in our community and
elsewhere, with information show
ing the frightful extent and horrible
effects of drunkenness as it now
curses the land; with warnings TO
them who have not yielded to it;
with counsel and exhortation to
parents whose sons are exposed;
with appeals for reformation, TO
what remains of honor and especi-
ally of conscience, in those who are
its victims and with such other
matters as, in our judgment, the in
terests of our fellows, as affected by
this monster vice, may make it our
duty to present. That we may be
able to discharge our duties in such
way as 10 bless those who read this
column, we ask an interest in the
prayers OF Christian people, and the
cooperation and aid of friends OF
temperance. God is our hope OF
success.

Liberty(?l

4 man has no right to jeOpardize
The peace of society, by destroying
his sense of fear his powers of self
control his appreciation of human
rights, and his respect for law. He
has no right to burden the resources
of the State by creating a necessity
for keeping up jails in every county
and feeding criminals in every Jail !;
by giving rise to criminal prUsecu-
tions, to pay the expense Of which
thousands of dollars must be taken
from her treasury; by taxing her
with the support of broken hearted
and penniless mothers, and bread
less children. A man can find no
right, in the law of God, in human
reason, or reasonable ethics to get
drunk or to make others So.

A Scene IN Cidrksviiie.

We were passing down one of the
main streetsof the city of GAINESVILLE
some time ago, on our way home
from church after service on Sunday
night, when suddenly we noticed
considerable excitement on the part
of some ladies ahead of us, also GO
ing home from the same service,
when we found that a drunken and
wholly unknown man with drawn
pistol in his hand, had cursed them
without cause, and, with muttered
threats at a gentleman's remOn-
STRANGE, and an evident disposition
to use the instrument of death
which he held ready in his hand,
he passed on. An effort was made
to ascertain his name but without
success. Drunkenness is a curse to
every town and city where whiskey
is suffered to be retailed.

The Pug-NOsed Girl.

The pHg-nosed girl is a distinct
type. And she knows it. Posses
sing a pug-nOse, she possesses GER
tain privileges and immunities to
which no other sort of Il nOSeu girl
can lay claim. Occupying this pc
culiar and elevated position She is
at once fascinating and narrowing.
With her nose, by right divine, goes
n rosebud mouth that ANYBODY can
see ut half glance was principally
made for kissing. Nobody ever
dreams of kissing lips which have a
long Roman nose sternly standing
sentinel over them. But the pug
nOsed girls lips are not guarded at
all; on the contrary, they are most
temptingly accessible. And when
she smileS-and she has II great way
OF smiling, the dear thing-and her
nose sympathizes with the muscular
movement and tips itself little
higher, 1t seems just like a formal
Invitation. Then is the fascinating
part of the performance. The har-
rowing part of it is when, encOur-
aged by what seems to be encourag-
ing-and find that she is not that
sort of pug-nosed girl after ALL
Philadelphia Times.

was not correctly reported in those
of the Nashville papers, which rep
resent that it declared itself in favor
of a State constitutional convention.
1t refused by vote to do so, but de-
cided that in case one was called,
then the temperance question was
to be looked after. The pledge that
was published as having been cir

adopted by it nor circulated by ITS
authority. At the same time IL
took no action against one, leaving
that question out of consideration

The Sale of Ashland.

The home of Henry Clay was sold
on yesterday by the Executive
Committee of Kentucky University
to Maj. Henry Clay Mcdowell, of
Franklin. The property contains
324 acres, and the price is $60, 900.
OF course the transaction is subject
to the approval of the Board OF Gu
ratOrs, but where il is SO manifestly
to the best interests of all concerned
to sell the property there is no doubt
that the curatOrs will confirm the
action of the Executive Committee.
BY this sale the property passes
back to the Clay family, where it
should be. Mrs. Mcdowell is the
granddaughter of the "Sage of Ash
land" and the only surviving
child of Col. Henry Clay, who fell
at the battle of Buena Vista, lead
ing the Kentucky troops i'm that
gallant charge in which so many
brave men fell, turning the tide OF
battles and changing defeat into
victory.
Ashland was purchased some fif-
teen years since by the citizens of
Lexington at cost of 500, 900 and
donated as a site for the Agricultur-
al and Mechanical College, but Ow-
ing to failure to properly secure
the title and long era of bad man.
agement, the property has been
diverted from the object for which
it was purchased, and the proceeds
of the sale will go TO pay debts con-
tracted under the Bowman regency.
