SUBMISSION.

At the request of some OF the ad-
voca:es Of Prohibition, and in orde r
that the readers Of the Bulletin may
understand the exact status Of the
temperance, or prohibition question
il Tennessee, and what Is desired
by that element, we win give a sue
cinct history Of the same.
The last legislature proposed an
amendment to the Constitution pro-
h,biting the manufacture, or sale,
IL this state, of intoxicating liquors
to be used as a beverage. Said
proposed amendment was entered
on the Journals OF both Houses, to-
gether with the vote on the same,
and was referred to The next legisla>
tcre. Before the amendment can
be submitted to the people for their
ratification, or rejection at the polls,
it must be agreed to by two-thirds
Of both Houses Of the Legislature to
be elected in November next.
IF adopted by two-thirds Of both
branches Of the next Legislature, it
will then be submitted TO the qualif-
ed voters Of the state, at such time,
end in such manner as the Legisla-
ture may prescribe. IF, when sub
mitted to the people, a majority Of
all the voters Of the state, voting for
Representatives., shall be in favo r
of said amendment il VIII become a
part of our Constitution. It will be
observed that in order 20 carry the
amendment, it must not only receive
| The sanction of two-tbnrds Of the next
Legislature, but must also receive
the votes of a majority Of all the
voters of The state for voting Represen
tatlve Quot simply q majority Of the
votes cast at the eleciion) when the
question is submitted to the people.
What the Prohibiuonists demands
now is, that the next Legislature
shall submit the question the people,
that they may have an opportunity
of saying whether or not they want
Prohibition. II view of the fact
that there IS a large element IN
Tennessee which is IN favor Of sub
mission, an element which the
Representatives of the people have
no right to ignore,-we think their
demands should be respected, and
The question submitted to the quail,
| fed voters Of the state. A faithful
representative, could not refuse this
request, no matter what his own
private views might be upon that
question. If the question is kept
out of politics, we believe a Legisla-
ture can and VIII be elected, which
will submit the question to the peo~
| pie, otherwise, the result wall be
| disastrous t. the advocates of Pro-
hibition. There is 10 necessity fol-
mailing it political issue, aud The
man, or element which does 50, will
| do the cause a grea. Injury

The bill introduced by Congress-
man Glass in the House, on Monday
last, to allow the growers Of tobacco
to sell it in the leaf without paying
any tax therefor, should in our opin-
ion be enacted into a law. There is
no more reason, in principle, why a
grower of tobacco should be taxed
for the privilege Of selling his tobac-
co, to whom he pleases, in the raw
state, than the growers of cotton,
wheat, corn, or any other product Of
the soil.

Mr.. Cleveland has vetoed the bill
to establish q pert of delivery at
Springfield, Mass, upon the ground
that there is no necessity for it..
The President is right again. 1t is a
fact that there are over one hundred
ports Of entry and delivery in the
United States, at which the Govern
ment has expended large sums Of
money in the way Of buildings, &c,
which do not collect money enough
in one year to pay the salaries of
the Government off ices in charge, for
six months, 1t is time all such

A Princely Fee.

Late in the afternoon we stopped at
Cleveland, Tenn, for dinner, and there
an incident happened the like of which
/ had never seen or heard. At the
table where / sat were five persons, one
of whom / guessed to be the drummer
of some wholesale establishment. The
spread did not suit him, and he de-
manded some cold meat of the black
waiter. The waiter shot into the
kitchen and reappeared, asserting there
was none there.
''Oh, yes" interrupted the drummer,
''there must be; hunt around; bring me
o piece of cold chicken"
Out again went the darkey and re-
turned with Just what was wanted. The
drummer was satisfied, and began slash
ing into the chicken with renewed ap-
petite; then he paused, dropped his
knife, ran his fingers in his vest pocket,
looked around at the smiling darkey,
and then, without changing his coun-
tenance, handed the latter snatch.
The smile on the darky's face van
ished.
'.You see what it isP''
s:Yes, SIR"
"Well, when you get a cigar you will
be able to light it"
Then he resumed his eating. 1t was
positively the meanest return for a
Christian-like act that ever saw, but l
had to laugh in spite of myself. 1t was
such burlesque on the habit of feeling

Fishing With Bombs.

By special invitation we were per-
mitted to witness novel experiment on
Wednesday afternoon, which was in
tended to test the efficacy of dynamite
bombs in the capture of fish in deep
water, says the editor of the Key West
Fla.) Democrat. On repairing to the
market wharf at about o'clock we
found the United States marshal, sheriff,
chief of police, and number of other
officials of lesser note, together with a
select party of citizens, perfecting their
arrangements for the expedition. Three
small boats had been secured for the
purpose, in which the party embarked,
and which were subsequently Joined by
gig from the United States revenue
steamer Dix, containing Capt Fengar,
the collector Of customs, and Col. Walk
er of New Hampshire. The objective
point was found to be hole about
twenty-five feet deep in the upper end
of the blight, known as the boiling
hole" distant but a few hundred yards
from the shore and almost abreast Of
the army barracks, where the fish are
known to congregate in large numbers,
and are apparently 30 fastidious of taste
that the most delicate bait when placed
on hook fails to tempt them. Arriving
at the spot, cartridge about six inches
long charged with dynamite, to which
had been attached a heavy piece of
iron in order to make it 60 to the bot
tom, was thrown in the water. A sus-
pense of a few seconds ensued, and then
q faint report like the discharge of q
small pistol was heard. the water be-
came agitated and was raised about two
feet, and Immediately thereafter, within
a radius of about sixty feet, the fish were
strewn in all directions A scene of the
widest excitement followed. Scoop
nets were brought into speedy use and
over one thousand fish of different
varieties, from the large grey snapper
over three feet in length to the small
but succulent sailor s-choice were Sc
cured. While pleased at the success
attending Wednesdays experiment we
cannot but condemn the wholesale de-
struction of the tinny tribe which must
necessarily attend the unscientiiic and
willful use of these bombs. In the
present instance, however, the arrange
ments had been SO well perfected that
we venture tine assertion that not a
dozen fish were allowed to escape. but,
being brought ashore and judiciously
distributed. entailed u benefit ON great
many needy and deserving families.
