On the 18th in the United States Court

tested election case growing out of the
recent prohibition election in Fulton co.
lie had previously granted a temporary
order restraining the Ordinary from an

had resulted for prohibition. The Judge
refused to continue the injunction, decid-
ing the case against the liquer men on eve
~ point. This is the first battle, as we'll as

won in the South. This, however, is but
the beginning of the fight. All over the

Congress.


On Thursday last the u. s. Senate
passed the presidential succession bill, the
particulars OF which we have heretofore
published. In the House, general debate
on the report of the committee on rules
was closed, and amendments for the dl-
vision of the committee on railways and
canals into two committees and to abolish
committees claimed to be useless were de-
feated. Without reaching final vote on
the rules, the House adjourned,
FRIDAY.
Both houses of Congress Friday passed
a bill granting a pension to the widow OF
Gen. Grant. In the Senate, Mr.. Hamp.
ton introduceda bill making it unlawful
for Senators or Representatives to recon-
mend or solicit appointments'to office. Mr..
Butler s resolution of inquiry relating to
the alleged organization OF the Territory OF
Dakota into State was debated, Without
reaching VOTE The Senate adopted the
joint rules, and then adjourned until Mon
day. In the House, a motion to strike out
the distribution feature of the new rules
was defeated-yeas 60, nays 227-and then
the new rules were adopted in toto. The
House then adopted a resolution to take g
holiday recess from Monday to January

er wealth than was ever dreamed OF IN the
widest fancy Of a free trade Bourbon,
These con ditions were directly the results
of the tariff policies of the two parties,
and in conspicuous and tangible manner
testify to the wisdom Of the respective
policies.
Free Trade Democracy is menace to
the business Of the country, as is illustrated
now in the Frustrated condition of indus
tries, resulting. in large degree from the
agitation of the tariff question, common
cling with the Morrison horizontal bill and
the fear that the Senate mightssfall into
the hands of that party, which would have
given it unchallenged control of the gov
eminent. The assurance, however. that
the Senate will remain Republican during
the existence Of the present administra-
tion, has inspired confidence, and the in
dications are favorable to a revival OF
business, activity in industries and the
employment of labor-furnishing it with
| means to purchase and consume farm pro
ducts, and thus maintain the home mar
ket for the farmer, charging wealth,
creating agencies for the enrichment,
progress and power and industrial as well
as political independence Of our common
country. The records of the two parties
will show which would be most likely to
bankrupt the nation. the party which
plunged it into bloody chaos, or he party
which rescued 1.-THE party which left it
without credit and with an empty Treas
ury, or the party which surrendered its
control with full exchequer and a place
among the first powers of the world for
financial integrity and stability.

Senator Koiner is now Chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee. He is re-
ported in telegram to the New York
Tribune, to have said few days ago that
the financial future of the State is in
great danger. And we'll he may say so.
Were the warrants out against, the State
liqnidated there would not be. a dollar in
the Treasury. Were the past due coupons
to come in there would DO more of them
by several million dollars than the State
could meet. While resolutions and bills
are being introduced to outlaw the cou-
pons they 60 on maturing-the courts go
on saving they must be received for taxes
and expenses 60 on accumulating in trying
to prevent it. There seems to be no pres.
emit or future relief. The only alternates
left are to pay by increasing the taxes. or
10 repudiate outright, and this cannot le
done SO long as the courts hold the cou-
pons as the essence Of a contract and the
oonds are not due. It is fearful condi-
lion of things to contemplate, with tie
courage absent to face it heroically.

When the Mccormick Henderson electo-
raj bill was under consideration, the re-
iterated reason for its adoption was that
il would divorce the Judiciary from
political contests and connections. In
der the law repealed to make the bill eff
fective,the County and Corporation Judges
appointed the judges of election, clerks,
registrars. &c This plea was given not
withstanding the judges of election are
really judicial officers, and the duties of
registrars and clerks are more of a judi
cial than political nature, where they
are faithfully discharged, All know,
however, that the reason thus assigned to
give color of excuse for the enactment of
the most outrageous agency of election
frauds ever. conceived, was mere pre-
text, with no sincerity or honesty in it,.
This conclusion is sustained by recent
bill introduced in the Senate to take from
the supervisors of counties the appoint.
ment of physicians, superintendent and
nurses for the poor, and the clerks OF
Boards of Supervisors and eonfide them to
the discretion of the County Judges. The
Supervisors are directly elected by the
people the judges by the Legislature In
Republican counties the Board contains
sometimes majority of Republicans, and
notwithstanding they come straight from
the people with endorsement, and conse-
quently more nearly represent popular SEN
timent than any other class of officers, it
is proposed to rob them of their legitimate
authority and impose it upon the judges.
1t is not that the judges may not appoint
efficient officers that complaint is made
against the bill, but that it is a scheme to
arrogate to the creature of q partizan
Legislature powers which belong to the
agents whom the people may select for
the proper administration of their local
affairs. 1t is fitting companion piece to
the electoral bill, designed to usurp the
rights Of the people and concentrate them
directly or indirectly in a body chosen I'M
der that monstrous fraud breeder, the cleo
toral law.
Such run-mad partizanism will not be
long upheld by a free people. Their pa
thence must sooner or later become ex-
hausted, and a rebuke administered that
will testify that they have not yet become
the servile slaves of a reckless party oil
garchy.

In the House on the 10th, the first in
stalment of special appropriations under
the reform and retrenchment'' regime,
was introduced by Mr.. Tucker, of the Ju-
dietary Committee. 1t was an urgent re-
quest for sc, 900 for an additional clerk hire
in the Department of Justice. 1t was OBJ
jected TO BY Mr.. Boutelle, and conse-
qusntly laid over. The objection was
made because of the unjust attacks made
upon that Department by the Democrats
when the Republicans were in power and
the refusal to make appropriations for ne
cessary service rendered in the French
Spoilation claims. Mr.. Boutwell, wanted
the application to come in the regular
form of a deficiency allowance, so that it
could be examined and reported on like all
other deficiency bills. The Democrats
will be frequently reminded during the
session Of their unjustifiable partizan at
taoks upon the Republican administration
and may be treated to the same measure
Of annoyance that they inflicted on 9th
ers. But we hope not. Two wrongs do
not make right.

cause it is the nearest and easiest Of ac-
cess at less cost. Tone is given to the
American market by American Industries.
They employ labor, which consumes, and
receives wages that enables it to pay for
what it consumes. But for the manufae.
tures-the creation of the protective pol
icy-this labor would not be employed as
consumers. but as producers, there would
be no money to buy with, and consequent
ly limited home market for the farmer.
We do not question that the tariff laws
need revision but such revision as would
not eliminate particle of the protective
feature. No legislation is perfect and
there is none in which experience will not
expose defects. But when we look at the
results Of the protective policy since 1861,
under Republican administration and the
results Of the revenue only" policy, UNI
der Democratic auspices, up to that time,
as manifested in the condition Of the
country under each, there is needed no
further argument or illustration. Ger
tainly our contemporary will modify his
fears as expressed in his language, III the
nation is to be bankrupted by this cry Of
home market, which is never realized, we
had better not have factory in the coun-

the country in 1856. when the free trade De.

licans surrendered the control Of the gov

cash. Downs and his ,.lother were almost
the sole remaining inhabitants of Carbon

coal workings of the region were given up.
The two were known to be misers: Mrs.
Downs often having gold pieces exchanged

"A Few uoyD ago tbeir savings had reached
5000, and SUDDENLY Downs took the rolls of
greenbacks and made OIL, threatening his
