PROHIBITION went into effect Thurs
day in Rhode Island, and in Atlanta, Ga,
aE@ was also voted by the people of Co.
piah county, Miss. The contrast which
these victories and substantial gains
present may we'll be studied by the Pro-
hibitionists, so called, who profess to
believe that it is their duty to make
war upon the Republican party. In
Rhode Island prohibition has conquered
without party struggle. In Mississip
pi, as in Georgia, prohibition has pres
vailed because its advocates take care to
present the issue on its merits, without
antagonizing either of the political par
ties in which its supporters were found.
But in States like New Jersey and New
York, prohibition gains nothing; but on
ly loses ground. because its professed
make it their chief business
to denOunce, and if they .can. to defeat,
the party in which most of the'friends
of prohibition are tound.-N.Y. Tribune

THERE is nothing mean about the
Democrats of Arkansas. One plank of
the platform adopted by their State
Convention on Wednesday afirms the
party's adherence to the doctrine of tar
if for revenue only, while another de-
mands such legislation as will foster la
Dor and honest industries. These two
planks are so consistent that mixture
of oil and water wouldn't be a circum-
stance to squaring them.

The Mission OF Woman Seen through
Different SpectacleS.
T From the Charleston Dispatch.

From the Charleston Dt$I0QtcR.
So much has been written about the
mission of woman, and so much I'M
practicable advice on the subject has
been furnished, that should woman
read al that has been written she would
hardly hEow how to commence her
mission OF in what manner to end it.
The poetical author pictures for her
a LIE of elegant ease. He would
translate heyto sphere where spring
is perpetual, place her III some enchan-
ted valley beneath a roseate bower
and invoke the sea nymphs and wood
land gods to hail her as the queen Of
love and beauty. In the poets imag-
ination, woman is not rs we are, Of
the earth, earthly, she IS a creature as
celestial as the seraphs Of cloud-land.
Her voice, to him, is as enhancing as
the lydian melodies of the fable syrens.
The moisture of her eyes is like unto
the dew which rests upon the flowers
OF Hymettus. The sound Of her foot
steps is as delightful as the patter Of
summer showers upon the surface Of
sleeping brook. Fer food is am
brcsia, her drink nectar, and her
dreams are Of the loves of the angels.
The philosopher sees herin a differ
ent light. He knows that she IS a
woman, and consequently human
being, and he only expects of her such
things as human beings are required
to perform He always wishes to see
her in proper sphere-nelthe2 too
masculine nor too eaeminate. He
does not object to sraack Of romance,
if at proper times she can arise IN
mental force and overcome with Dig
nifty the trials which may beset her
path. But women are geueraly too
sbrewd for the philosophical fraterni-
ty, and consequently the sases are, for
the most part, only imperfectly &C
quainted with their real character.
It takes the journalist to read their
titles clear. He knows all about the
sex, although many OF them think
otherwise He knows that they have
GOOD appetites, and that they can est a
square meal as well as anybody else.
He knows that after eating sparinsly
of dinner outdoors It is their Gus
tom on returning home 10 make a raid
on the larder. He knows that not
withstandiug their angeical counte-
nances they are as tricky as a trained
pony at the circus. And above all, he
knows, and they kaow that he knows
it, that they don't mean all they say
and never say all they mean--to stran-
gers. But we started to write about
woman's mission. Woman smission
is generally what she wants to do, and
to use homely couplet,
Persuade woman against her will,
Shell be Of The same opinion still.
Woman is q whole in herself. The
lords of creation rule the world and
she rules the lords of creation. Wom-
ans mission is one thing to-day, anoth-
er thing tomorrow, and old satan
himself couldn't tell what it will be
the 0av after.

The grand palladium of freedom
around which swings the great fail OF
justice and American liberty has been
tickling the ears Of men in the jury
box so long that the average juryman
fully believes that he IS the supreme
master of the ConlS, the antocrat of
his own actions and clothed with the
power to set at naught, the Court and
the law, and deal out justice accord
ing to his OWE crude idea of the mer-
its OF the particular case. A notable
instance of autocracy in the jury box
occurred at the recent term of the
Court for this County in the trial OF
the case of G. ". Norwood 4 Co., VS..
G.. W. Dingle & Bro. In this case the
audacious disregard for the law pro-
pounded by the Judge and his posi-
tive instructions were marvel to
q crowded court room, and plainly
showed to what extremes prejudice
might lead q jury without some con-
trolling power. Naturally the lndig--
nation Of Judge Presley, the presid-
ing Judge, was great at seeing the
contempt exhibited for the law and
his authority. The jury who had but
8 Ksoment before, with remarkable
sang fsoid, treated. indiferently the
charge of the Court were dumb with
astonishment when elanking, jail doors
were promised as reward fol- such
conduct in the future.
The reprimand, though severe, was
well deserved, and will no doubt have
salutary effect. 1t is high time ju-
ries were taught to respect and obey
the Judge, on the Bench, and the stern
lesson Of Judge Presley will so far to
accomplish this end III Clarendon

DEPARrMENT OF TIE INTERIOR, WASH
NGgoN D. c., February l3, lSS6.-To
the President pro tenlpore of the Sea-
ste-Sir: I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of the Senate
resolution of the 5th instant in words
as follows:
ssResolce7, That the secretary Of the
interior be directed to communicate
to the Senate copies of all papers
which have been filed in the interior
department, and OF all papers which
have been presented to any officer OF
that department touching the official
and personal conduct Of Henry Ward,
Indian inspector, during his continu-
ance "a said Office
transmit all official papers on file
in the department which I understand
70 be embraced by the resolution.
The official reports made to this de-
partment by Henry Ward, as United
States INDIAN inspector, are volumin-
Gus, and as the clerical force for this
department is limited and otherwise
fully employed. I have deemed it best
to transmit the original reports. As
they are frequently consulted in the
transaction of the business of the de-
rartment, I have the honor to request
That they be returned to its files as
soon as they are no longer required by
the Senate.
I am directed by the President to
say that if the object of the resolution
is to inquire into the suspension of MIR.
Ward, these papers are rot to be con-
sidered as constituting all the evidence
submitted to him in relation thereto.
I am also directed by the President
to say that he does not consider it
consistent with public interests to
transmit copies of unofficial papers
from private citizens, held in my Gus
tody for him which relate exclusively
to the Suspension of incumbents.
I have the honor to be very respect
fully,
T. @ CIAMAR. Sec'1.
