Letters FROM the People.

Letters FROM the People.
MIR. EDIToR:-A correspondent
in the last issue of your paper has
extracts from letters OF
the Hon. Henry A. Wise, whom he
denominates a @thorough Virgin !;
ian-Statcsman-and scldicr," IN
which Mr.. Wise says, "Will anyone
say that legislation may take
charge of my table and my diet
and my appetite and say what |
shall eatg If they may prohibit a
mau from buying and selling wins
Ky, may they not prohibit his
planting and sowing on his own
fec simple soil, Of his buying and
selling the corn and rye from which
the whisky is distilled!" Will you
allow me to put beside the states
manship of Mir. Wise that of Chief
Justice Taney-who says, Slf any
State deems the retail and internal
traffic in ardent spirits injurious to
its citizens, and calculated to pro
duce idleness-vice-or debauchery,
I see nothing in the constitution OF
the United States to prevent it
from regulating or restraining the
traffic or prohibiting it altogether,
iflt thinks proper"
Justice Mclean says, "a license
to sell all article foreign or doines
tic as a merchant, IN iunkeeper or
vlctuallcr is a matter Of police and
revenue, within the power of the
State" 5 Howard $50. And again
1T is the settled construction o:
every regulation of commerce, that
under the sanction of its general
laws, no person eau introduce into
a community malignant discusses,
Or anything which contamlnates its
morals or endar gers its safety
Ibid. ST the foreign articles be
Injurious to tie health or morals OF
tile community. State may, III
the exercise OF that great and conf
prehensive police power Which lies
at The foundation OF its prosperity
prohibit the sale O.. it." Ibid 592
No one can claim a license to retail
spirits as a matter Of right. Ibid
597.
Justice Grier says, 1T is not
necessary to array the appalling
statistics of misery, pauperiSm and
crime which have their origin i'll
the use and abuse of ardent spirits.
The police power which is cXclu-
sively in the State is competent to
the correction of these great evils
ard all manners of restraint On
prohibition necessary to effect
that purpose are within the scope
of that authority; and ifa loss OF
revenue should accrue to the Uni
ted States from a diminished con.
sumption of ardent spirits, she will
be a gamer 81 thousand fold in The
health, wealth, and happiness OF
the people"
So much for NIr. Wise's State
menshiI,.

Mr.. EDIToR.-The last effort clio
Cal Option temptS one to eXclaim:
as did the little DO, wien he heard
the locomotive whistle, "My, what
Il long BRET Inc haSm Ii his argu-
ment was equal to his wind he
would raralize his opponents by
the force OF his reasoning ashe does
by his yerboSity. Fortunately for
those who dare to disagree with
him, the value ola wind instrument
is lot confined to its volume, but It's
tone is very important. Taking it
for granted that "Virginius" istully
able to take care of himself, pro-
pose to notice what "Local Option"
says relative to matters referred to
by @Citizen."
"I.ocal Option" says, "the COM
rarison between Virginia and
Maine is notjust," because "Maine
is settled by a mixed foreign elc-
ment," and complacently adds:
"Comrare Maine with other States
similarly conditioned, and let us
see lie facts, e. g. with New York
and N:;issachusetts.n Then With
an 10 Tri,,npllc he announces:
"Maine has one convict to 800,
New York one to $50 inhabitants,
Massachusetts ole convict to 800
Inhabitants" Letus see how ''sim-
ilarly conditioned" these two states
are to Maine, and what their real
relation is to that state as to popu
Iation. From the q. S. census, 1850,
we get this table:

TORN UP BY A TORNADO.
Great Damage tn Property at Helen
and In, Ina XirIuIHr

Great Damage tn Property at Helena
and In Its Vicinity.
HELENA, ARK, March S0.--A tornado
OF unusual velocity swept through this
section last evening, doing considerable
damage. In this city quite a number Of
buildings,were blown down and turned
over. The Atlantic beer garden was
blown over ON the roof OF a one-story frame
house adjoining, crushing through the
roof, and setting fire to IL from cooking
stove. By great effort the fire was ex-
tinguished before it had time to spread.
The walls Of the Helena opera house and
other large buildings, remnants OF the
late fire, were blown to the ground.
A FLEET SWEET AWAY.
The coal fleet was swept out into the
river, ana the distress signals OF the boats
added to the confusion. The county
court house was unroofed and.stripped OF
its window blinds, glass doors and win
d0ws were smashed in like egg shells.
The direction of the tornado was from
west to east. From parties who have
come to the city since the tornado, il is
learned that west of the hills, which act
as a barrier to the city, il was more viO-
lent than here, leveling houses before it.
1t Is impossible to travel on many of the
roads leading from the city west and
northwest except on foot, owing to the
trees blown across them. No serious
damage TO life was done that can be
learned. Owing to the losses beingscat-
tered, 10 IS impossible TO estimate them.
