Smith, a liquor dealer in Boston, sold bill of
LIQUORS to one Ward and another in Lewiston, who
gave their note to Patrick McGlinchey the defend
ant for the same, who indorsed and delivered it 10
said Smith.
After six years had nearly expired the plaintiffs
as executors of Smith, brought this suit against the
defendant. as indorser OF said note.
The presiding judge allowed the defendant to In
troduce the testimony of said Ward and his part
ner to show that the plaintiffs testator had knoWl.
edge of the illegal consideration of the note.
The presiding judge gave judgment for the de
fendant. To this the plaintiffs excepted and the
following is the
Rescript.-The rule that the partners TO a negotia
bic note, are not competent Witnesses to prove that
the note was given for an illegal consideration is
not applicable to suits between the Immediate par
ties to illegal contract. The rule is for the pro.
lection of innocent parties only 1t is not appca-
BILE to suit by an indorser against his immediate
indorsee; nor to suits against their personal repre-
sentatives. This being a suit of the latter kind
the objection that the makers of the note were not
competent Witnesses, was not well founded and
the entry must be. Exceptions overruled.

What has become of the Repub-
Icon Party? 1t South Carolina,
at present, it is dead, but in nation
al politics, the party that has fat
tened for twenty-five years upon
the American people, and been
liable to hold its WI for such a pc
riod, despite the desperate oppo-
%sition, cannot be killed by a single
defeat. When we think for q mo-
ment what democratic control
means to the North, we may have
some idea Of the fight that will be
made in 'SS. The "SUlid south" is
recognized, and VIC may expect to
sec the shafts Of our political enc
mics directed so as to break its
solidity, if possiblc. Now, thcqucs-
ton comes, upon what issue will
they make the attempt. 1t would
seem, from the action Of Il few men
who Imagine themselves icdGCrS,
that 4 most inviting Issue is about
to he offered ON the Tariff. But
an issue 10Y presents itself that is
destined to become moro yromi-
nent even than this. 1t is pr0hi-
bition. AS we have said before,
the temperance aus has no
stronger advocate in This state
than TIE ADVERTISER, but when
it becomes Il political Issue, it has
over-leapcd itself, and no drma-
gOgue need expect Us to champion
its wild demands.
The Republican Party has watch
ed the Prohibition movement in

set to work and organized, with a

"aggrcssive prohibition campaigns"
There are a grcatMany good and

Is hoped that the solid south may

munity desires to stop tho sale of
liquor, the legislature has provided
a way for them, but it is the sheer
est folly to. seek to Danish intcm-
perancC by law. Let The mothers
teach their children the evils Of
intemperance; let them instiil into
their minds in their earliest infan-
cy, the danger Of the social glass;
let the fathers teach by example,
and they will have done NOR" for
the u of humanity than all the
women lecturers, who are uncoM-
sciOuS tools in the hands Of thC;r
enemies. They will have done
more for the cause of temperance
than a thousand memorials to leg
islative assemblies. When we see
the women of the South aping their
Northern sisters, and so far for
getting the modcsty that has here
estGfore been their pride; when we
e them meddling in politics, we
cannot but think it a dangerous
stop, and will invariably tend to
lower the high standard OF charac-
ter which Southern women have
