'■■■ In la Raw Ymk AntMi mtka an inn, in the opinion of excisemen who tall li- oanaaa to retail liquor. “Ha* day 'taokad da grooary atoraa ? aatnataly inquired an old negro on Tnee- day night.—Courier-Journal. A local paper ate tea the aitnaton in Boothern Kentucky in tbia tana way “Trad* batter; money plenty, merchant* happier; bnaineaa reriring.” A Nbb*a*ia farmer hitohaa a pair of ooire to a wagon whan be joorneya, and aailka them whenever he oomee to a toll gate, paying the toll with the milk. Taa Sonthern Foetal Convention meet* at Fort Monroe to oonaider the beat way of aaoding mail jail at a time when we are Incky to got Northern mail* by any rout. Vr’nra the Pennsylvania militia are re viewed at tho next Centennial, Gen. Bherman will say to the Governor, “Which are the fellows who run at Pittsburg nine-nine years ego?” Tan will have their little aparrlng matches. St. Louis says Obioago i* poverty alrioken. Then Chicago hope* St. Louis will not attempt to give relief by offering cheeks on Ht. Lonis banks. Jodoes Kki.lt, of Pennsylvania, and Loehrane, of Goorgis, olaim to have pra- dioted the strike. So do othel gentlemen, now that it has happened. Judge Kelly says it means a repeal of the resumption act. William M. Eyabts tha other day be gan to tell a man that his eoat tail waa on fire. Before he got through the first half of the sentence three bams, twenty tons of hay and nine billy goats ware burned up, not oounting the coat till. Giobox Fiuncis Train says no one need be “surprised that a nation besotted in ignoranoe, stupefied with superstition, soaked in alobobol, steeped in tobacoo and gorged in meat, abould oome to a dis graceful end in delirium tremens of Pres idential frand. Gxniiiar Uambaldi has Just been ex- tremely ill. He lay for some time, one day, unoonsolons, stiff and oold; but wheo restored he gaily remarked; “O, that's nothing, you may be sure I shall aurvive Pio Nono, and attend his fu neral.” Chronicle and Conetitutionaliet: Gen eral Toombs ssya, in reference to the strike, “Whan capital presumes on the power of money and labor presumes on the power of musole, then you aee soar- oby, and it oan’t be put down without a compromise on both aides." Thb whaleboat, New Bedford, which sailed from the port of that name forty- seven days ago for a trip across the Allan. Uo, arrived on the other aide last Satur day night. Captain Crspo and his wife oompoaod the crew. They encountered three galea, lost some of their olotbing, and were obliged to lie to for fifteen days. Captain Orapo’a left hand I* nearly useless through constant steering. Th* report so generally credited that, while a guest at Windsor Palace, General Grant woke up Queen Victoria and asked her to prepare him a toddy, and that the obliging Queen want down herself to the kilohen and warmed up a glaaa of grog for him, is now very aeriously doubted, and it turns out that it is not the Queen, but hei first maid of honor that the *x- Preaident woke up at night to do him that little favor. Ran Stokbs did a brute thing the other night at the Grand Optra House. He ac tually oconpicd Jim Fiak'a private box, sitting in the same spot from which the vulgar but good-natured faoo of hia vio- Um, with Us waxed moustaches, had looked hundreds of times on tha apaata- olea on whioh he lavished so muoh time and money. Some of the people in the gallery oaugbt eight of Stokee behind the blue satin curtains of the box, and biased him ronndly. Samuil D. Lib, colored, Solioitor of the Second Circuit of South Carolina, and ex-Bpcaker of the House of Itspreaanta- Uvas of that State, waa arreated in Aiken last Tuesday,upon tha affidavit of Senator Cochran, the chairman of the investigat ing committee, charging tha fraudulent iasnanoa by Lac, while Speaker of the House, in March, 1873, of pay oertifioatua to tha amount of eight thonaand dollars. Lee asserts his entire tnnoeenoe, and says be ie prepared to vindloste himself wholly from the obarge. Or all the men made prominent bydh* late riots, the one who appears to leaat advantage ie General French, of the United States Army, who, though sent to Cumberland to quiet an enraged mob, tried to add fire to the flame by re-exolt- ing sectional animosity by Bailing Colonel Sharpe a “d—d old rebel." To the honor of the Government he wee relieved of hia command as soon aa information of hit behavior was received. The Alexandria Ornette thinks the honor would be greeter ware be to be relieved of hie commission. Sam the Philadelphia Public Ledger x “All destruction of property brings lorn to some one, end if the destruction be groat it bringa heavy lorn to large num bers. The qnsetiou then arises, is this likely to aid tkoee who have tha prodnota of labor to sell? Will tha people who loaa money have more money to expend for the products of labor, or will they have least Of necessity they will be oompolled to bny less, and thereiif Urn tha loaa to the producer. The most insane of all ways of helping tbe sale of tha pn>- doata of labor is to redone the power of Rm parohaaor to bny.” Ht NECESSITY FOB WOOB MIL ITCA. This haa bean amply proven la tha last faw days. New York la fnll of tha ele ment that find Pittsburg, hot in the me tropolis each an attempt was hardly hinted. .The polios readily dispersed the mob, for the disorderly knew well If that fores oottld . not, well disciplined militia would be upon them io a moment’s no- tioe. The experiment of plunder end ar son WM attempted in no place where tbe volunteers coaid be relied upon as New York does on her Seventh, Beventy-flrat and other oraek regiments. The egenae for the terrible riot at Pittsburg by whioh tea millions of property was destroyed is that a badly drilled regiment from Philadelphia waa ordered to tbe place and fired too early on eitizena. All moats** that in times of emergency other assistance than the regular oivio foroe is requisite for tbe proteetioo of lew end order, end this ie fonnd only in the volunteer soldiery of the land. Tbe bet ter trained they are, the more acquainted with evolutions and the greater familiar ity with weapons and ball cartridges, and the mors accustomed to obedieqoe when in ranks, tbe more eSoient they are in times of emerganoy. In every city there ie an element of inflammable material whioh, under tbe pressure of violent pas sion, can be fanned into fury. There are also leaden of oommunietio tendencies who believe that no one has the right to be wealthy, that property should be divided ratably end the rieh have no rights whioh the laborer is bound to respsot. Aa we have, previously stated the very baste of tbe oommnme doctrine ie that no one is entitled to luxuries until all ere provided with necessities, end enthnaisstio as well as vleions propagandists by their exoited advocaoy have frequently deluged the ■treete of Pails in blood. Their entire idea it that of tbe outlaw, Bob Boy. “They muit taka who hav* tbs power, And they must kaap who oan.’’ There are not many of this olaaa in the South, wa era glad to aay, and they have eome among ns with the importations since the revolution. They have mnoh material to work upon, and tha dootrines oan be presented in a vary alluring form to tha ignorant and even the move intelli gent abuses by persuasive end designing intriguers who have all to gain and nothing to lose, should an smuts be the result of ■neb teachings. That theas principles have not spread to a greater extent in the Booth is due to the faot that the white working olaaeee are far more intelligent than those of the North, are better edn- oatod and mors aoouatomad to thought ful reflection, are more conservative in their tendanoiea, have a greater love for home, and imhnad with • batter under standing of tbe Constitution of the ooun- try and an enhanoed love for ito princi ples. Than, too, there ia something in number and tha fewer birds of passage. Nearly every negro ia a oommnnist, though ha may not understand tha word. From tbeae hints end bare suggestions we think ail moat appreciate the great need of a strong and disciplined militia. Tha beat means for its promotion is to enoonrage the organisation and perfec tion of the volunteer companies. We have three in Oolumbna. Often they torn out on parade and with thin ranks. Many of the members are olerki In stores, shops and employees in industrial establish ments, bat employers are unwilling for them to leave bnaineaa for tha faw bonra that are required for tha drill. They moat not be with the companies, bnt rather dose awey over oonntora and dwell in the land of nod. The proprietors need not fear the loss of money, for they do not have a customer in honni during the summer afternoona. Why not ohange this f We may yet need trained aolfiiery to guard those atoraa. It wu found nqe- eaaary in Louisville, Bt. Louis, Chisago, New York, Brooklyn, Albany nnd numer one other oitlaa. Bball Columbus think she will ever be exempt from looh • trial? Thau, instead of hindering, nrge young men to unite with the volunteer military and ■timnlate their ardor in suoh a oanae Aronae a spirit of cmnlation among the oompantea that eaoh may become better and more efficient. By every means ad- vanoe tha interests of the organiaatiors, and always avoid depression. Give the men time to drill, and adviae them to at tend. The tiros may eome when ell will be glad If they adopt the course. Let the entire eity feel a pride in fostering and promoting the seel and effeotivenem of our voinntaer soldiery. Let ue be pre pared for sueh motley crowds as have appeared in LonlavUla and Chicago, who endeavored to pass themselves off for workingmen. Let tbs man be trained to fire low, end when they shoot to do exe cution, and by prompt aotion atop scenes of wanton tnrbulenoe. ■KDITIHU THB JUtolCIAKT. . . , Tha majority of the Oommlttee oaJa» ■ vj _ !giJ ■ eial Circuit*, oompoeed of Meesra.

Chioaoo Inter- Ocean: Tbe tax payers of Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, will have to pay the loess* ($5,000,000) oeused by tbe rioters in Pittsburg. This ia Penn sylvania law, and the same law exists in New York. In 1863, at the time of the draft riot, New York City bad to pay mils lions of dolton for damages to property. In 1844 the oity of Philadelphia bad to pay all the losses, amounting to millions, oaueed by what to called the Native Ameri- oan riot. The New York Tribune offioe was gutted in 1868. The oity paid Hor see Greeley several thousand dollars dam ages. In 1841 the Philanthropist, e Cim oinnati Abolition paper, was mobbed. Tbe city footed the WU. Will the tax payers remember that all property destroyed by rioters most be paid for by tha tax pay ers.
