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.
