unfortunate enough to excite their enmity
and cupidity. The s., 900 they wrung from
him sharpened their appet65es for more, and
they are maddened that the court has stepped
in and awarded the only punishment that was
suitable to the offense. 1t is useless to at
tempt to change public opinion on this point.
1t has been made up after becoming perfectly
familiar with the infamous character of the
offense There is not one man in ten thousand
outside these unions that does not think and
say that the boycott is something that can
never be tolerated in America. 1t is the
enemy of the workingmen more than it is Of
capital Under it there is no freedom.
Threatened with it, there is an end to enter
prise and the immediate result is paralysis
of business, to the incalculable harm of labor.
1t has run its course, and there is no use try
ing to cry out against the decision of public
opinion. If it can be carried on, and if the
their functions paralyzed, there is no use
writing laws that cannot be en-
forced. Already the men in these
unions have confessed they have no respect
for law and order, if they interfere in any way
with what they prefer to have. No class or
organization of men ever has made or ever can
make successful stand against the laws of
the people, and they will not be allowed to in
this instance They may appear for time to
succeed in their schemes, but it will soon de-
velop, as it has in this case, that the people
will not consent to abrogate the laws to ac
commodate anybody If the laws are wrong,
there is a way to change them to suit the peo
pie. That they are not changed indicates
that they are as the people would have them.
AS long as they do suit the people there is no
use opposing them, for the power of enforce
ment is in the people, and they win see that
they are established. The managers Of the
New York Central Labor Union are in the
wrong in this case, and will have to recede
from the position they have taken.

Part Of n COiored Mans Backbone He
moved and He Receivers.

A Cincinnati special says: One OF the
ruest and most dangerous operations in
the scope OF surgery has been lately per-
formed at the Cincinnati hospital. IL con-
sistt d in removing about three inches
of the backbone and exposing the spinal
cord. The patient was young colOred
man about twenty-one years old. When
first admitted TO the hospital he
was suffering from a terrible disease
which had broken ont over the
Dead. neck, and back in the form Of large
ehscesses, the chief one OF which was about
the middle OF the back, and mad eaten away
the backbone 10 considerable extent.
The poor fellow could not lie In a recum-
bent position nor on his side, IN conse-
auence Of the extreme pain attending such
position, and was compelled TO lie all the
while on his face. Slowly he had lost the
power OF motion and OF sensation in his
LEGS, so that he was completely paralyzed
from the body down.
Ii was decided that bis only chance OF
life lay in an operation for the removal OF a
part OF the backbone, so as to stop the pro-
cess Of decay. He was then turned on bis
face and the surgeon made an tnclsion
down the spine. A large quantity OF pus
was revealed, and the cavity was sponged
out carefully in order to see Just where the
knife was going. In this region, where
one slip Of the knIie or one false move would
have b. en- fatal 70 the patient, The surgeon
with ehisel and hammer went down on
the bone until he cut out all that which was
IN any way affected, never touching the
spipal chord. All causes OF suppuratlon
and paraly sis were removed, and the sur
geon frlt assured power would return to
The paral, zed legs, anG thai time would ac-
complish the healing up OF the place where
The bone had formerly been. The patient
recover, from the ether, and was placed
ia bed on bis face.
In three days motion returned to The
legs. and be was able TO move his feet Tor

course his back is yet weak, and probably
never will regain its former power; but he
will be a use,u man. The wound has
gradually closed up, leaving only slight
scar, and causes him little or no pain.

lScottsville Courier.l


Between the extreme views of Mr.. Nor
iisOn and those OF the element led by Mr..
Randall there Is so great a difference as to
iInost preclude the hope OF any reduction
Of tie surplus now in the Treasury. The
question OF the revenue by which the Gov
eminent Is TO be supported Is one OF pnre
business, and ought to be separated from
party politics. We note that Senator Sher-
man favOrs the placing OF sugar on the free
list. We think he Is right. IL il an article
OF prime necessity. IL il universally Used.
The tax on sugar is about S50,000.G00 an.
nualy. The Government has no earthly
use for this enormous sum taken from the
pockets Of the people.
Tobacco pays large amount to the pub
lie Treasury. This tax bears hardly upon
the poOrer class OF labOrers In the South. is
unjust, oppressive, and ought To be wiped
out.
The distilled product OF fruit pays seve.
raj millions OF dollars. This tax il chiefly
taken from the poorer classes who live in
the mountainous districts. where ordinary
farming cannot be made TO pay.
The aggregate amount derived from these
sources, added to the millions paid by
sugar, would 90 a long way to dispose OF
the surplus. The Government has no use
for this money. 1t is positively a disad.
vantage TO have 1t. 1t has been used as a
great corruption fund, and the fact Is not
denied that II Is burden TO the Treasury.
The proper thing to do Is to admit sugar
fee and To abolish the tax on tobacco aud
fruit-brandy. IL not only dsposes Of the
surplus, but is a measure OF justice that the
ioiiBg masses Of the people have A right 10
demand. This much at any rate may be
done by the present Congress.

Free Tobacco for the Poor.

StItesmanship has been defined to be g the
science OF the practicable" II is not pIac-
ticahle to secure at the present session OF
Congress thorough revision 81 the tariff
as a means OF so reducing the revenue as 10
prevent a large treasury surplus. There
fore IL is the duty OF statesmen to under
take something that may be practicable to
accomplish this purpose.
II seems 10 us that the plan favored by
some OF the more progressive Republicans,
and approved by many Democrats, should
afford a fair basis OF compromise. The
proposition Is torepeal the internal-revenue
tax on tobacco, to reduce the duty on sugar,
and TO add 10 The free list some Of the crude
materials OF manufactures now taxed.
This is not an ideal plan Of revo eref,rm.
but IL would accomplish tae paramount OBJ
iect Of cutting off the surplus. AZ Lincoln
said he would save the Union without
slavery or with slavery. his paramount OBJ
feet being TO preserve the Union, 80 it is
the duty Of Congress 10 prevent the surplus
without or with genuine tariff reform, as
1t may be able.
Tobacco Is both luxury and necessity
TO thousands OF poor men. The tobacco OF
the rich. chiefly imported, should be heavily
taxed, like all luxlIfies OF this class. But
the tobacco Ct the poor should be free
whenever the needs OF the Government will
Admit of it. Sugar j. universal necessity.

An txtra session.

We believe now that the indications
point TO the calling Of an extra session OF
The Legislature by Governor Lee, anu we
are inclined 10 think that the condition OF
the finances Of the State, and other impor-
tant measures requiring legislative action,
will justify such a course upon the part OF
the Executive. But whilst we believe such
a step may be necessary, and should there.
fore be taken, still we have grave dou Dts
about the result.
But it may be that when these members
Of the Legislature are called together again
IN extra session, TO consider specific sub.
jects, the gravity OF the situation may make
such an impression upon them that they
viii be able to rise to the dignity aud i'm
portance Of the OCCASION, and TO Initiate,
al least. il not TO conclude. such measures
as in the end will meet with the approbI-
ton OF their constituents and at the same
time prove acceptable to the creditors OF
their State.
That this may be the result is certainly
the earnest wish OF every one who loves his
State and sincerely desires her restoration
TO peace, honor, and prosperity; aud any
legislature that shall act with suif .ient
wisdom 10 accomplish this great end will
