presented a resolution, which was adopted,
to the effect that, “pending the early rear-
semblinir of Congress, and with the hope
that some modification will be adopted by
them in the existing currency acta, we deem
it premature and injudicious at this time to
prescribe any line of policy which the bank

Scribner?? Monthlies.
The December numbers of Scribner’*
Magazine and St. Nicholas have been on
our table for several days. Without go
ing into an elaborate description of these
two justly popular periodicals, upon
which we have heretofore expended all our
terms of commendation, it is enough to
say that in the character of their choice
and varied contents and in the copiousness
and beauty of their illustrations they ex-
cell, if possible, the numbers that have
preceded them. The Magazine comprises
among its regular contributors some of
the ablest writers in the country, while
St. Nicholas enlists the pens cf those who
are most successful in furnishing enter
tainment, instruction and amusement to
juvenile readers. The Christmas num
ber of .St. Nicholas will be a gem of
literature and art. and will be along
about the 15th of December.
Subscription price of the Magazine $4,
of St. Nicholas $3 per annum.
A Costly Business.-The New York
journals are finding the Stewart grave
robbery a pretty dear affair. “It has al-
ready co?t us $1,500 per week,” saida
managing editor on Tuesday, “keeping
relays of reporters up all night at police
headquarters and other points of possi
ble interest, and it bids fair to keep up
costing, with nothing to show for it ex
< epta bundle of contradictions, which
Jfrst confuse and then disgust the public.”
The latest development of the Grant
talk is out in Illinois, and takes the

The Moffett Bell-Punch Law
The bill now before the Legishdute,
entitled “an act to provide for liccx s‘rg
liquor dealers, and to impose a lax on
the sale of wines, spirituous liquors and
malt liquors, and to prescribe the mode
of collecting said tax, and to appropriate
the proceeds to the support of common
schools,” is exciting much discussion
and is strongly opposed by a very large
and influential class of our citizens. The
bill proposes to inaugurate in Georgia
the Moffett bell-punch system, which has
been adopted as an experiment in Virginia,
and in regard to the utility of which
there is a wide diversity of opinion in
that State, some holding that it has in
creased the revenue derived from the
sale of spirituous liquors, while others
assert that it is not so efficient for revenue
purposes as would be a well regulated
and less complicated license system.
The Moffett bell punch register was
adopted by the Virginia Legislature, not
as a means of promoting temperance, but
with a view to increase the revenue
derived from the sale of spiritu
ous liquors, and the bill be
fore us, while it largely increases the
specific license to be levied iu addition to
the amount to be collected through means
of the bell-punch register, makes no pre
tentions of being a temperance measure,
unless it is intended to tax the business
of liquor selling out of existence, a
thing hardly possible to be accomplished,
and which if accomplished would defeat
the purposes of revenue.
The bill introduced in our Legislature
by Col. Alston is exceedingly complicated,
providing for four distinct kinds of liquor
license, one for wholesale dealers, one
for wholesale and retail dealers, one for
retail dealers, and another for bar-room?.
Each branch of the trade is required to
pay a specific license fee accord
ing to the population of the
town or city, in addition to
which bar-rooms, where liquor is drank
on the premises, are required to keep a
jell-punch register, and pay a tax upon
each drink of wir.e, spirits or malt
iiquors so registered. It is objected to
the bill, that while it is an innovation
upon the old license system, exceedingly
complicated in its operation, and diffi
cult to be executed in all its details, it is
unjustly burdensome and annoy
ing to all classes of liquor
iealers, liable to evasion, and estab
lishes an odious system of official sur
veillance over the business of individuals,
ffering temptation to fraud and op
portunity for levying black mail. These
•bjections appear to be well founded,
and as a measure so oppressive, stringent
and difficult of execution, is justified
neither by considerations of expediency
nor necessity, we have no idea that it will
meet the approval of the General As
sembly.
When the Moffett bell-punch system
first went into operation in Virginia, as a
revenue measure it was very popular,
but since then we hear frequent com
plaints of its inefficiency, the uniform
enforcement of its provisions having
been found to be next to impossible.
The plan has been discussed in
North Carolina, and a similar bill to
that of Col. Alston’s was introduced in
the Tennessee Legislature last year, but
no State except Virginia has adopted
the Moffett plan of raising revenue from
the liquor traffic, from which fact we
infer that both experience and investiga
tion has demonstrated its inadaptation
for that purpose.
Interfering with Elections.
John Brady, a Lieutenant of police in
Cincinnati, was arrested upon the charge
of interfering with a United States
-upervisor of elections in the discharge
of his duties during the recent October
election in Ohio. He was tried before
the United States District Court for the
Southern district of Ohio, and on Thurs
day last was convicted. Brady's offense
was obeying an order of the Police
Board of Cincinnati in arresting a super
visor who attempted to count the ballots.
The case is one of great importance,
*s the Cincinnati Board of Police
will take it up to the United
States Supreme Court upon the issue
hat the statute is unconstitutional. The
ittorneys who represented Brady admit
ted that the general government has the
right to provide for the election of Con
gressmen, but at the same time they de
nied that it has the power to graft a
United States statute on a State law, or
in any' way interfere with the State's par
ticular machinery for holding elections.
If upon this issue, the statute in relation
to the duties of supervisors should be de
clared unconstitutional, its effects in ren
dering elections void where these officers
were present will be studied with inter
est. The friends of Congressman Sayler
are of course greatly concerned in seeing
the case brought to a conclusion as
promptly as possible.
The solid South, remarks the Atlanta
Constitution, is not very grasping in the
direction of officers. Take, for example,
the army. There are now, says the
Washington Pont, in the pay of the United
States two thousand four hundred and
seventy military gentlemen of commis
sioned rank. Of these, two thousand
two hundred and seventy-three are put
down on the list as appointed from
Northern States, and one hundred and
ninety-seven from the South. The num
ber of general officers is eleven, of whom
eleven are from the North and none
from the South. The Adjutant General's
>ffice employs seventeen, of whom six
teen are Northern men and one fiom the
South. In the medical department the
proportion is more equitable than in any
other, there being one hundred and fifty-
seven Northern surgeons to twenty-five
Southerners. In the cavalry there are
three hundred and eighty-four Northern
officers to fifty Southern; in the artillery
two hundred and fifty-nine to twenty-
three, and the infantry eight hundred
and thirty-one to fifty five. Of the one
hundred and ninety-seven officers classed
as belonging to Southern States, only
five are above the rank of Captain, while
one hundred and sixty-seven are below
that grade. It therefore appears that the
regular army is a thoroughly sectional
institution.
It seems that nearly if not all of the
insurance companies in which Mr.
Dwight, of Binghampton, N.Y., obtained
policies to the amount of $250,000 and
died after paying the first premium, will
not contest the payment of the full
amount of insurance. The results of the
autopsy and of the examination fQr
poison do not, it appears, furnish suffi
cient basis for a refusal to pay. It will
not be good policy for the companies to
make a contest unless plain proof of foul
play is obtained.
Kearney left Boston Tuesday evening
for San Francisco. In an interview,
before taking the train, he said: “I came
here honestly intending to do all in my
power to help elect Butler as the most
available candidate, but I discovered him
to be a political demagogue surrounded
by the worst class of thieves, bummers
and bilks, and will advise workingmen
to shake him as a leader henceforth and
forever.”
Proposed Tariff Changes.
It is reported from Washington that
the Secretary of the Treasury, in his
forthcoming December report, will re
commend that changes be made in the
existing tariff to the following extent:
First, a complete abolition of the pre
sent method of testing sugar, and the
setting up instead of only two grades, to
be determined by a combined color and
polariscope test. With only two grades,
however, wide apart from one another,
and therefore completely differentiated
in themselves, the necessity for a polari
scope test is scarcely apparent Second,
to allow no tares for damaged goods.
This will work well and prevent frauds,
where the damages cannot be estimated
in advance, nor insured against with any
certainty. Third, to tax dress silk
according to weight, in order to force
French manufacturers to send more silk
and less gum in their exports of this
article to us. Fourth, to dispense with
ad valorem duties on gloves, and to fix
specific duties corresponding to the
material, size, number of buttons and so-
forth. This last proposed amendment is
undoubtedly suggested by the experience
of the government in the long contest
with Messrs. A. T. Stewart A Co. and
other firms in trying to establish by ap
praisement a different value for kid
gloves from that at which they were in
voiced. It is virtually a confession on
the part of the Treasury Department of
the insecurity and inadequacy of ad
valorem duties—a confession which was
made a year or two ago in the matter of
still wines.
History Reversing Itself.—The
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun calls attention to the fact that
in the Forty-first Congress, out of
sixty-three Southern Representatives ad
mitted to seats fifty two were Republi
cans, and of Southern Senators twenty-
two were Republicans. The South, say?
the correspondent, was just about as
solid then as it is now, but it was on the
other side. In the Forty-first Congress
the entire body of the white people of
the South, the people who owned all the
property and paid all the taxes, were
practically without representation; yet
not one word of disapproval was uttered
against this monstrous wrong by press or
peaker of the Republican party. Now.
on vague allegations, totally unsupported
by respectable proof, that the colored
people of two or three States are deprived
of representation, the partisan press of
the North is in an agony of horror and
reproach.
Philadelphia's Floating Debt. —On
tlie 31st of December, 1879, the obliga
tions of the city of Philadelphia for cur
rent expenses now due or to mature will
amount to $27,042,362 66. Of this sum
$11,615,190 represents outstanding war
rants and other overdue obligations—
floating debt, in other words—amounting
to 43 per cent, of the entire amount for
which taxes are to be levied. The tax
rate for 1879 will be $1 75 on the $100,
not including 25 cents on the $100 for
public buildings, which constitutes a
separate levy. This rate of tax does not
suffice to cover the amount of outstand
ing warrants by a good deal, and some
persons familiar with the city's finances
insist that the levy should be $2 15 on the
$100 in addition to the public buildings
tax. As real estate is said to be assessed
at least to its full value in Philadelphia,
the onerous character of these rates will
be readily appreciated.
The combination of the New York
and Boston banks for the purpose of
nullifying the silver remonetization law
of Congress is exciting the just indigna
tion of the country, and is likely to lead
to legislation that will definitely settle
the question whether Congress or the
banks are to determine what shall be
legal currency. By the Constitution
Congress is given power “to coin money
and regulate the value thereof,” but no
where in that instrument do we find any
authority given to the banks created by
Congress to revise the action of that
bod}-? The banks certainly committed a
grave error in attempting to defeat the
silver bill, and by their combined action
have furnished u potent argument to
those who are jealous and distrustful of
their power in favor of legislation to
restrict the exercise of that power in the
control of the financial policy of the gov
ernment.
In the next House, New Jersey will be
represented by four Republicans and
three Democrats, instead of four Demo
crats and three Republicans as at present.
This loss of one member was caused bv
Democrats throwing away their votes
upon Greenback candidates, and thereby
in one district electing a hard money
Republican to succeed a Democrat. Ex
Secretary Robeson also owes his election
to such a division of the Democratic
vote. The total votes in the State were
as follows: Democratic, 80,029, a loss of
17,808 from 1877; Republican 90,488, a
gain of 5,394; Greenback, 24,699, a gain
of 16,641.
Mr. Clark, architect of the national
capitol, has been engaged for some time
past in experimenting with electric light.
An effort will be made to induce Con
gress to make an appropriation for the
introduction of electric lights in the capi
tol. It is claimed that this could be
done at a slight cost, as the great engines
used for ventilation could generate elec
tricity at very little expense, while the
glass ceilings of the two chambers would
afford special advantages for the intro
duction of the electric light.
A Rumored Set Back to Edison.—A
Washington dispatch to the New York
Sun says it is rumored there that Prof.
Edison’s application for a patent upon a
divisible electric light has been rejected
by the examiner at the Patent Office. It
is said the ground upon which a patent
is denied is that Edison’s invention is an
infringement upon an invention for a di
visible light made by John W. Starr, of
Cincinnati, in 1845.
The Atlanta Constitufion says : “It
will be small consolation to the Indepen
dents to learn that Mr. Stephens, had he
been fairly defeated in the nominating
convention, would not have been a can
didate for Congress.” It would have
been more consolatory to the “tricksters
and shysters” of the Eight district if
they had been assured of that fact before
the nomination was made.
Conkling, it is said, will run as a can
didate for the Republican Presidential
nomination against Blaine, but not
against Grant. At present, Grant * is
practically out of the contest, and Blaine
and Conkling are leading the aspirants.
Conkling has, however, an advantage
over Blaine, in that he carried New York
State at the last election, while Blaine
lost Maine in September.
According to the New York Tribune's
Washington correspondent “Mr. Tilden
is already actively engaged in carrying
out plans to secure the next Democratic
nomination for the Presidency. Con
vinced that he cannot secure the solid
support of the Gulf States, he is there
fore directing his attention at present to
Pennsylvania.”

SUPREME COURT UEClsION.
Washington. November 25.—The Su
preme Court has decided the case of H. J.
Anthony et al.. commissioners, etc., plain
tiffs in error, against the Bank of Com
merce of Richmond, Va., in error to the
Circuit Court of the United States for the
District of South Carolina. This was tried
upon its merits in the lower court and re
sulted in a judgment against the commis
sioners. They now seek a reversal of the
judgment upon the ground that the suit
should have been brought against the
county as a corporate body and not against
them as commissioners.
This court bolds that there are no direc
tions in the constitution or statutes of
South Carolina as to the name by which a
county shall be sued, and that there seem
to be no objections to the form adopted in
the present case. The judgment of the
lower court is affirmed.
SENSATIONAL LETTER ABOUT STEWART’S

The Weekly Cate City, published at
Keokuk, Iowa, is receiving many com
plimentary notices from the press
throughout the country since it has en
larged to a fifty-six column paper and
made other valuable improvements. It is
now one of the best and leading journals of
the North, and we can recommend it to
our readers desiring a Northern paper.
We note the following good words said
of it:
Davenport Gazette: “The enterprising
editors and publishers of the Keokuk Gate
f Jity have greatly improved the weekly edi
tion of that paper. This is now printed in
the quarto form, cut aud pasted after the
manner of the Eastern and metropolitan
journals. The result is that the readers of
that paper have eight pages of admirably
selected and ably written reading matter
presented to them in a very attractive form.
Such a newspaper, strongly edited as it is
by Mr. S. M. Clark, is a credit to Iowa jour
nalism and an honor to the State. May its
excellencies increase and find fresh favor
constantly with the public.”
Horne and Farm, Louisville, Ky.: “»e
like to see thrift in all good newspapers,
and it is especially gratifying to us to make
mention of this quality in a very high de
gree with one of our best exchange papers,
viz: the Weekly Gate City, published at
Keokuk, Iowa. It comci to us this week
very considerably enlarged and otherwise
improved. Our long and pleasant acquain
tance with tLe able editor of this paper
makes us have a personal interest in its suc-
cu?s. It is a capi al Northwest advertising
medium.”
Montour American, Danville, Pa.: “A live
paper full of latest news from all parts of
the world, and especially fresh news from
the great West, and we often enrich our
columns by clipping from it.”
Centerville lribune: “The Weekly Gate
City, of Keokuk, is now the largest news
paper in Iowa and also the best. It contains
eight pages of solid matter, political, edu
cational, religious, personal and general.
It is sprightly, ably conducted, and always
dignified. Send #1 50 to the Gate City and
you will receive a first-class newspaper, giv
ing at ail times the latest market reports,
correct news and miscellaneous reading,
just such as is needed to interest the house
hold and prove a source of pleasure and pro
fit to old and young.”

Letter from Hob. P. M. Russell
Representative Hall, Atlanta,
Ga., November 23.—EdiUnr Morning
Nctcs: In your paper of the 22d inst,
telegraphic news, I noticed the following:
“ In the contested election cases in favor
of the sitting members—Sheffield of
Early, Butler (colored' of Camden, and
Miller of Liberty—these ttert minority
reports in the last too cases. ” Your re
porter committed an error. The reports
made by me. as Chairman of the Com
mittee of Privileges and Elections, were
those in the case of Sheffield. The re
port was unanimously in favor of the
sitting member ^Sheffield of Early', he
having received a majority of the’ legal
votes polled. In the case’ contested ~bv
Atkerson from Camden, the majority
of the committee reported in favor of
the sitting member, Butler, colored.
There is in this case a minority report.
“In the case contested by James, colored,
of Liberty, the majority of the com
mittee reported in favor of Miller retain
ing his seat. No minority report was
made.” The Camden county case will
come up before the House on Monday
next. Respectfully, your ob’t serv't.

The Chicago Custom House Frauds.
—The grand jury of Chicago have in
dicted Supervising Architect Hill and
other prominent government officials, ex
officials and others connected with the
construction of the new custom house in
that city, for conspiracy to defraud
the government to the extent of
$850,000 by false vouchers. The
low tone of morality which appears
to attach itself irresistibly to the conduct
of our public affairs is strikingly shown
in the rascalities which have been devel
oped in connection with the conduct of
public improvements on the part of the
General Government and large cities.
We have the consolation of knowing,
however, that juries are much readier to
indict and to convict for these offenses
now than they were several years ago.
No Extra Session. — Chairman
Atkins, of the House Committee on Ap
propriations, says that he does not think
there will be any necessity for an extra
session of Congress. So far as the ap
propriation bills are concerned, he is of
the opinion that they will all be reported
to the House by the last week in January.
He does not think that the Democrats
will do anything to force an extra session
solely for the purpose of gaining control
of a few petty offices in the Senate, and
has no apprehension that any act on
their part will necessitate an extra session.

THE CENUINE
DR. C. MeLANES
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a di^ll, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple* purgative, they are un
equaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated,.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills
bear the signatures of C. McLane and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver Fills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the
market being full of imitations of the
name McLane, spelled differently but
same pronunciation.
