Mr., Billings, We understand, ex-
cuses his completely in the publica
ton of the Ball letter, by holding
Mr.. Turpin responsible for on, com.
ments on his official conduct in the
loice of the Odd inst, which that
gentleman was instrumental in cir
culating. When it is considered
that Mr.. Turpin did not write nor
suggest line in that paper, and
was only circulating it as a means
OF advancing the principles ennnci-
ated by the Peoples party, we fail
to see the justice of such a means
of retaliation. But Mr.. Billings
himself will not deny the only charge
against him in that paper, which
was simply this:
Mr.. Billings uniitness for tho office of
sheriff has been shown up too often for
the people To be ignorant of the fact that
we are paying to-day taxes acEuing from
ms ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF public affairs
One blunder of his, which is the more re-
markablo from his long experience in
such duties, invalidated the whole tax
levy, of one year, but fortunately for the
interests OF the county, was not discovered
until sufficient amount had been col
lected to pay interest on the bonds and
the incidental expenses ofthe county.
Does Mr.. Billings deny that he
failed to attach his certificate To the
roll of 1879, or that the court ruled
that it invalidated the whole lew?

In abiding to the Thompson ban
quet a fortnight ago, we remarked
that it was in keeping with payin g

This intimation did not suit Mr..
Thompson and he promptly pro-
nounced it lie. This, of course,
necessitates the prod uction of the
authority upon which it was based:
Mr.. CoNNoLY:
SIR: Mr., Thompson promised us. two

trict five dollars. He was elected and
paid the money, and when paid he charged
ten dollars for some writings he had done.

THE SrANDARD states that Nj. Hale was
member of the first legislature, and ar
cues that the legislative experience thus
gained would make him valuable legis
lator. If the county has done without his
- forensic" talent for twenty-cight years
ii certainly has done itself great Justice OF
else Captain lIale's legislative success did
not impress itself upon the minds of the
people as it deserved ourtr.
The fact is that Mr.. Hale has not
been in the Ring, during the pas,
twenty-eight years, and it has had no
hope of finding in him the pliaut tool
it has invariably sought. He has,
however, served four terms in our
Territorial Legislature, during that
time, and two terms in the Legisla
ture of the State of Maine, before lie
took up his residence in what was
then the western wilds. 1t is to
Mr.. Hale's credit that he has for
many years been consistent oppo-
ser of Bossism, and has invariably
protested, on all proper occasions,
against the corrupt practices which
have disSraced the administration of
county affairs.

The Liquor Commission Bill.


Vicksburg Herald.
This bill as it passed the United
States senate will likely pass the
house of representatives. 1t is the
result of an organized effort Of the
temperance men OF the country,
and is designed to show the peo-
pie officially the evil effects of
liquor drinking, liquor manufac.
ture aud liquor selling. Ii is the
purpose of this organized move
ment to keep the question before
the country in one shape or another
all the time. The same force is De.
bind the prohibitory movements
in various Statesi and caused the
legislature OF this State TO submit
prhlbition amendment TO the peo-
pie tor adoption or rejectiou. The
bill provides for the appointment
by the President and confirmation
by they senate, of a commission of
seven persons, not more than four
of whom shall beof the same politi.
cal party nor be advocates OF pro-
hibitiou, hold office not exceeding
two years, who shall investigate
the alcoholic liquor traffic, its rela.
tons to revenue anil taxation and
its general economic, criminal,
moral and scientific aspects in con-
nection with pauperism, crime, SO.
cial vice, public health aud general
welfare, and who shall inquire ms
to the practical results of license
and prohibition legislation. The
commissioners are TO serve without
salary, aud TO report within eigh-
teea months after the passage OF
the act. An appropriation OF slO,-
900, is made for their expenses.
From the above it will be seen
the temperance movement is ma
king progress. This commission
will be appointed from the best
material in the conntry and its re-
port will doubtless be one OF the
most convincing temperance docu-
ments ever put forth. When that
is done and the effect is felt, the
temperance men will take another
step. They will move tor u pro.
hibitory amendment in the various
States, and one to the constitution
of the United States. Whether
they will ever be successful or not
depends very much on the demo
cratic party. 1t has always been

continue sufficiently anti.temper.
ance to prevent the accomplish.
ment of these Utopian designs.

Wool.

Walter Brown & Co.'s Monthly Circular.
During the mouth OF February
the wool market, while generally
steady. has not shown that buoy
ancy of tone which was expected
BY most of those Interested in the
staple. The aggregate of these
sales show a good average business,
and considerably in excess Of the
transactions during the same peri
od in 1881; 1t il therefore difficult
to understand why, at the close OF
the month inst past, there should
be any evidence Of yielding in
prices on the part OF wool holders.
Such, however, is the case, fne
washed tleeces Offering about one
cent per pound lower than q mouth
ago. The information from all
wool.growing sections points to the
conclusion that most of the wool
available is now held in eastern
markets, and it would also seem
probable that thers will be no ma
terial surplus when the next
clip is ready for market, hence We
see no foundation for any great
change in prices during the next
sixty days. However. ut this sea
son OF the year predictions for che
future in wool are not worth much;
manufacturers may be better sup
piled with stock than Is supposed !;
the natural tendency OF both deal
ers aud consumers just before
shearing TO bear market may have
its effect to reduce prices; and an
unsettle | or panick, money market
always disposes holders to force off
their wools when they find the OPP
portunity.
