THE LIQIIOKLAW.
What is Known as the liquor law oi
.Marion county is one of the most im
portant questions in the present can
vass for the Representative’s place in
■the Legislature.
No doubt can exist that the law is
a good one for the county, and our
opinion is that it is constitutional.
The substance,,of the bill is that no
whisky or other intoxicating liquors
shall be sold in the,neighborhoods of
The county, as well as in Buena Vis
ta, without the consent of two-thirds
of the domiciled freeholders. The
effect of the law lias proven very sal
utary indeed. We do not now hear
of drunken revels and disgraceful
fights occurring at the various gro
cery stores ol the county. By its in
fluence stealing country produce at
night has been checked, and men
who were wont to spend their money
for liquor, are sober and prospering
Crime lias been greatly lessoned and
the consequent expenses of courts
greatly reduced. 'flic morality of
the county has attained a higher
grade, and peace and quiet have
universally prevailed. Nothing
could have benefilted the county
more, and our people are under last
ing obljgations to Maj. E. W. Miller
f>r its enactment. Its repeal would
he very deleterious to the county.
There are honorable men in tbe
county, however, who desire its re
peal on the ground that it is uncon
stitutional, They arc, wc think, in
a respectable minority, though our
judgment may be erroneous. The
opponents of the law will probably
have out a candidate for nomination-
Popular opinion is so decidedly in
favor of the liquor law, that the most
popular man in the county, taking a
stand against it would be defeated by
a fair majority.
Let every man in the county come
out on the day of the nominating
convention, and make liia preferen
ces lor or against this liquor law
known. There are other important
reasons why every citizen of the
county should be present on that
and >y.
Congress adjourned last week,
What I>oes it Mean I
Last week we extended a cordial
invitation to the colored’ people to
join the Democratic ranks and par
ticipate in the nominating conven
tion. Since then, we have learned
that some Republicans wisked to go
into the nominating convention and
stand by the nominee for the Legis
lature, but were unwilling to ally
themselves with the Democratic par
ty any further than to vote for Rep
resentative. This proves that those
colored Republicans do not know
what it means to go into a party
convention.
Wc will try to enlighten them.
When a citizen goes into a Conven
tion, he, by that act, acknowledges
his allegiance to that party in whose
interest it is held. If it is a Demo
cratic convention, bv going into it.
be declares himself an “out and out”
Democrat, and will be expected to
stand by that banner at all times and
under all circumstances. If it is a
Republican convention, he proclaims
himself a Republican slmon pure.
For none but undoubted party adhe
rents are entitled to a seat in a par
ty convention. A Republican can,
without compromise of Republican
principles, vote for a Democrat in the
election, provided there is no Repub
lican candidate for that office; but he
cannot go into a Democratic Conven
tion under any circumstances without
renouncing his Republican princi
ples. The same is true of a Demo
crat going into a Republican conven
tion. Every colored man who ap
plies for a scat in the nominating
convention will be expected not only
to support the nominee of that con
vention, but also the Democratic
nominee for Congress, Democratic
nominee lor the Senate, Alfred IT.
Colquitt for Governor and Tilden and
Hendricks for President and Tice
President. This is just what going
into a Democratic convention, of any
kind, means and nothing else.
Colored men ! want you ai'
to be Democrats; we want you to
leave the Radical party, which lias
deceived and robbed you so long;
we want you to join the party of
peace, honesty and liberty. For
these reasons only have we invited
you to become members of one ot
our conventions. If you will forever
renounce the Radical party and Rad
ical principles, we shall use our influ
ence to obtain for you a voice in our
Democratic convention. But if you can
not leave the Radical party absolute
ly and forever, and cannot vote for
Tilden and Hendricks, Alfred IT.
Colquitt, and the Democratic nomi -
nees lor Congress and the State Sen
ate, you are not entitled to a place
in any Democratic convention and
you need not, apply for admission.
If you join the Democratic party,
you will never regret it. It is now
the party ot power. It has always
been the party of equal justice to all
men, honesty and fidelity.
The Movement for Tilden.- A
Washington dispatch savs: A Dem
ocratic Senator has received a letter
from a pnnninent gentleman of New
England, whose reputaiion is national,
and who is not a Democrat, in which
he says that the feeling of discontent in
tho country, and the pressure of the
times is bound to elect Tilden. One of
the smartest Republican .politicians of
Pennsylvania says that the miners and
the laboring classes in that State are
very much dissatisfied with their condi
tion, which they justly attribute to the
policy of the paity in power, and for
this reason he feels compelled to put
Pennsylvania in his list of doubtful
States!" Late intelligence from Ohio
says that the German in tlint State are
rapidly coming over to die Tilden side,
and that it is confidently believed that
Ohio will he by the side of Indiana in
giving a Democratic victory in Octo
her.
Sandeysville' Messenger. Never
before has the labors of the hus
bandman in this county promised
so large a return. Better crops of
corn or cotton never grew upon
our lands, and if a fair price can be
obtained this year for tho products
of the soil, our planting friends will
pay out of debt and have a hand
some surplus. The prospect at this
time is truly encouraging, and it is to
be hoped that we will all bo able to real
ize our most sanguine expectations'
iUiclical f. Kerr.
Speaker Kerr’s death lias east a
gloom over our entire eoimrv, Iron)
Maine t, California. The following
sketch of him wo clip lfotn the Sa
vannah News:
“Hon. Micheart C. Kerr, Repre
sentative from the Third District of
Indiana, arid who was elected Speak
er of the Fortyfourth Congress in De
cember last, was a native of Penn
sylvania, having been born in Craw
ford county, in that State, in 1327.
The foundation of his education was
laid in the common schools of Craw
ford county, but l.c subsequently
studied at several academies, in the
meantime teaching school and im
proving his mind by a course of
steady and profitable reading. Hav
ing taken up his residence in Ken
tucky, Mr. Kerr studied law in the
University of Louisville, where lie
graduated with marked honors. Af
ter a short residence in Kentucky he
removed to New Albany, Indiana.
Here his talents and ability soon
brought him into notice. In 185(3 ho
was elected to the Legislature of In
diana for two years. In this posi
tion he enhanced his reputation and
popularity both by votes and speech
es. His judgment was sound, and
he had the courage to vote fur the
rigid, no matter what influence was
brought to bear upon him from uuer
estod parties. Besides serving in
the Legislature, Air. Kerr also acted
at different period as City Attorney,
aud prosecuting attorney of Floyd
county. In 1862 lie was chosen Re
porter of the Supreme Court of Indi
ana, and edited with great ability
aud clearness five volumes of the re
ports of that body. In 1862, Air.
Kerr made his appearance on a na
tional platform, having been chosen
to the Thirty-ninth Congress. Ho
was also re-elected in 1866, ISGB,
1870 and 1874. In Congress the ca
reer ot Mr. Kerr was tine to the
principles which lie professed. He
opposed all illegal schemes for ab
stracting money from the National
Treasury, insisting upon public effi
ecus being held to a strict account,
urged the discontinuance of needless
office holders, and recommended
bringing the government back:to the
early rules of honesty and economy.
Being an impiessive speaker, and at
all times fortified with fact-’, Mr.
Kerr commanded the attention of d)e
House whenever ho snake. His re
cord is that, of an honest, upright.
I and consistent Democrat, firm in his
prin ci pi es with ou 1 partisanship.
With the adjournment of Congress
there is no longer any presiding offi
cer over the House save Air. Kerr,
the duties of Speaker pro lem. end
ing with the session. IDs death;
therefore, will impose on the House
when it reassembles the more than
ordinarly important duty of electing
his successor, for during Ihe coming
session the electoral votes are to be
counted, and the programme already
announced of a dwterminatbn to
throw out tho vote of certain South
ern States in the event they g< Dem
ocratic, admonishes the majoriy that
whether the Speaker or th°'Speak
er pro fern., the presiding offi-er of
the next 7/ousc must be a man of
great coolness, fi niness and decis
ion, that the rights of the majority of
that body shall not be trampled on.

The Cheapest Soap that can
be used for the following
Reasons:
Ist.—One bar will go as far as two of any
other.
2nd—Only half the usual rubbing being re
quired, there is a saving of more than
1 he entire cost of I he Soap in labor alone
3d—The clothes are nude .SWEET, CLEAN
and Wll HE without Boiling or Scaldin
thus dll injury to them is avoided. There
is a savii g in fuel and bard work, and the
washing is done in übout half the usual
time.
It is also guaranteed under a penalty of
fifty dollars not to injure the clothes or hands
and as one trial will enable any person to as*
certain the truth of these statements, it would
never pay the proprietor to engage in an ex
tensive system of advertising and claim such
decided merit for his Soap unless he knew
from positive eqperience that it would prove
to b • in every respect what is claimed for it.
This is a superior Soap for Toilet and Shav
