It is the duty of the ministers to show these crafty schemers that they have miscalculated their strength. A FAILURE REPORTED. Cowan & Co., ship brokers and mer chants of Glasgow, have failed.

Courier-Journal Montgomery, December 15.—The pro hibition blood drawn yesterday in Green ville has aroused the dry people of tho state to a high pitch of excitement. It has precipitated a campaign whieh otherwise might have lagged through years i\ itlioub notice. The Montgomery Good Templars held a secret meeting, and resolved that the blow struck at Col. R. S. Chevos was a blow at the enune of temperance, and should be indignantly answered by every conservative in tho state. It was also re solved that tho order could bear the ex penses of prosecuting the assailants of Cheves. Mayor Perry arrived in the eity to-day* and looks as chipper as if he was not the center of a great sensation. lie justifies his attack on (Jol. Cheves because the lat ter in a speech had referred to him as “lascivious and a drunkard.” For this in sult he was determined to have revenge before Cheves left Greenville. The evan gelist was given an opportunity to apolo gize, but refused to do it, whoroup m tho application of a brassknuck to his head sent him whirling. Although a warrant charging him with assault with intent to murder has been issued against Mayor Perryi he has not been arrested. Ho* will remain hero until the excitement cools down. Advices from Greenville represent tho town as being split into hostile factions* the prohibitionists being the most angered of the two. Col. Cheves has remained in the house of Major Dan Dunklin all day, nursing the sores. He has received many telegrams of condolence from the temper ance people throughout the union, and haa bloomed into the proportions of a martyr to the cause. Tho bad blood stirred up in Greenville is also evident in other places. Prof. Dickson, who has charge of the school in Equality, and who is boarding with Mr. J. A. Law, a highly-respected and well-to-do former, re ceived a loiter through the mails, from which is taken the following interesting part: I want you to leave Laws, for wo aro going to kill old Law, and we arc afraid that vv might-shoot you for him. I mean just what 1 t>ay about old Law. Mr. Lav/ fs actively engaged in tiio enuso of temperance. He is well thought of by his neighbors. This letter had no name or d iti?. From Marion comes the news that the prohibitionists are up and aggressive, and have organized a campaign against the doggeries. A prominent temperance lender said to-day that “the thunders which will roll from the pulpits next Sunday will sot the state in a blaze, and the nun power will find out that its Jay is over.” Thu First Case of Hiu Kiuil.
