Da. Siiaw, writing to the Medical Times
from Water Gap, where poisonous snakes
abound, says that during the past six years in
which ho has followed out a method of cure
for snake bite, be has not lost a case, lie
gives sixty minims ‘of aromatio spirits <f
ammonia hypodermically and an ounce of
whisky every' two hours. A large poultice
of bruised raw onions is applied to the
wound and renewed every hour. The whis

eff ected, which is usually on the third day.
Saxh the Sun: “Tho statistics laid before

its line the owners obtained bonds aud

The HUte gave it $100,000 for arranging that
the lied could lie utilized fur levee purposes,
and lent it $1,350,000 worth of State bonds.
The road was then bonded for $2,500,000,

Du. I’ATTsasoa, s distinguished Western
cl rgynian, promulgates some sensible
yieus ru prohibition, as follows: “It is
no! true that the toleration and restriction
of an evil which it is not po:*ihle to prevent
by prohibitory legislation involves the sanc
tion of it. The putting nway of wives for
vtuer causes than adultery was tolerated by
Moses, with the restriction that in such
cues the man was required to give a hill of
divorcement for the protection of the
woman. In our own country the civil tol
eration of worldly reading, conversation,
aud visiting, ami neglect of public worship
on the .Sabbath, is not regarded even by
the most pharisaical as implying any
sanction of Sabbath-breaking, provided
open violations of the Lord's day in
t.u. h forms as disturb the peace and quiet
of the people l>e forbidden and punished.
It is Laid, indeed, that taxes or the price of
license* collected from liquor lellcm is the
. price of blood received into the public treas
ury. Bat this is no more true than it is
that fine* collected for assault and battery
an* the price of violence and bloodshed,
li’cnse is a penalty (though unhappily
mined) where entire prevention is deemed
impracticable; and no man who pays for a
high license thinks that his huaineaa is
sanctioned by public authority. The name

•ml it is so stigmatized only by the sap-
j -■/inof » party.
High License.
Tho Christian Union, in a well con Hi deled
article upon tho question which to-day is
watched with such interest in Georgia, un
dertakes to show the effect of high license
in Illinois, taking as a basis the official re
ports. The editorial passes over “certain
very honest temperance men whose aim is
to secure such legislation ns will relieve
them of all responsibility for tho liquor
traffic," and is addressed to the “vast ma
jority of temperance thinkers and workers,
who ore not particular to embody in tbe
statute book their own notions on tbo sub
ject of temperance; who desire, before
everything, to secure such legislation as
will be practioally most effective in reducing
tbe drink traffic,"
The license,” says the Union, “is fixed
by what is known as the Harper law, at
$500. Iu the city of Chicago this law has
increased the revenue to the city from
$200,000 to $1,500,000, and reduced tho sa
loons trom 4,000 to 3,300. In Hyde Park,
a suburb of Chicago, though tbo population
has increased, the saloons have been re
due sd nearly one-half; while the income
and consequent reduction of taxation has
been multiplied tenfold. What is more
significant is a reduction in the number of
arrests from 1,895 to G78, In Springfield,
tbe capital of Illinois, the saloons have
been reduced 30 per cent, in number,
and the revenue from them has
been increased 231 per cent. In Peoria
tbe saloons have been reduced nenrly one-
half, the revenue has been trebled. These
are reports from the larger cities. In the
smaller towns similar effects have been pro-
duced. In some of them no licenses are
granted, nnd prohibition is secured
by local option. In nearly, if not
quite all the others, tbe number of saloons
has been somewhat reduced, the amount of
revenue to the State largely increased, and
the amount of drunkenness and disorder
notably diminished. From six columns ol
reports that lie before ns, we take some
specimen raporta at haphazard:
Cairo, Ill.—Increase of revenue, 50 per
cent; deerense of saloons, nearly 50 per
cont; decrease of notable intemperance. 30
per cent
Quincy—Increase bf revenue, nearly 40
per cent; decrease of saloons, 30 per cent.
Tolono—Revenue doubled; business of
polico courts diminished 30 per cent.
Toledo—All tho low groggeries shut up.
Vandalia—No decrease of saloons; in
crease of revenue, sixty-six per cent.; fewer
cases of drunkonnoss, aud fewer disturb
ances.
Morris—Saloons reduced from twenty,
four to sixteen; rovenue increased from
32,400 to $8,000.
We need not, perhaps, continue these ro
ports. The general result is expressed by
tbo facts that in tbe State at large the reve
nues of the State have been increased from
$700,000 to over $1,500,000, the number of
saloons has been reduced from 13,000 to
less than 9,000, tbe best elomonts of both
parties unite in supporting and enforcing
the law, nnd disregard of it apparently
finds little sanction from either tho
people of their natural representatives', the
courts, tbe sheriffs and the juries. More-
over, in coanty after county, in small villa
ges, tbe high license has had the effect to
close np all liquor shops. The report from
Fayette county may bo regarded as a typ
icalonc in this regard. “Iu soverol small
towns in this crunty tho high license law
has practically resulted in prohibition
there being no one in these places willing
to pay the required fee." In tho reports
before ns we do not find n single town
county which indicates unfavorable reaulta,
The disadvantage of a Stato prohibitory
system ia that it is not enforced in the
gTcat cities, whether iu Maine, Vermont,
Kansas, or Iowa. The advantage of a high
tax or a high license system is thut
can be and is at once enforced in tbe cities,
whether in tho State of Illinois or Mis
souri; that it shuts up, if not tho worst
saloons, certainly those which are most
productive of disorder and of crime, while
it has a tendency to shut np all saloons
the smaller villages, and, if accompanied by
local option, gives tbe people in the rural
districts absolute power to close them,
all eveuts, we think these definite reports
from the various counties of Illinois are
quite conclusive as to one fact; that a high
license or a high tax, whatever may
thought ol it in theory, does practically
have the effect to limit tho liquor traffic and
diminish the evils which flow from
Those who bppose this method of dealing
with the drink traffic mu* t either shut their
eyes to tho facts, or oppose the system on
some other ground than the asseveration
that a high tax increases the evil which it is
intended to reduce.
This, it would seem, ought to he conclu
sive as to the effect of high license. The
question urines, would not even better re
sults have been obtained, hod the Harper
law placed the figures at $1,000 instead of
$503, as anggosted by tbe New York Church
Temperencc Society? There is a limit to
the usefulness of high license; a point be
yond which to go would involve the tern-
perence cause in the difficulties which meet
the prohibitionists. To find this point
should be tbe aim of practical reformers.
order to meet his request the Attorney-
General bad to order tho district attorney,
Mr. Hill, to commence the suit. There is
nothing private iu all this. It directly in
terests tbe people of Georgia, and became
legitimate piece of news to any newspaper
man with sufficient enterprise to look it up.
Our correspondent makes no statement
the discredit of Marshal Fitzsimons, but
states what others in authority have told him,
and what be has gotten from tho record.
And all of this is capable of a full and sat
isfactory explanation by a judicial investiga
tion, which Marshal Fitzsimons himself bos
requested. That it shall be full and com
plete the Comptroller of the Treasury de
clines to grant the withdrawal of any letters
papers.
We repeat that we fail to see that in all
this any injustice has been done to Mar-
stud Fitsimmons by the Tei.egbaph or its
correspondent.
It is not clear to ns whether the epithet
unprincipled meddler" is meant for our
correspondent ot the party from whom he
received his information. But, in bis be.
half, we desire to say that the term cannot
truthfully nor justly applied to him.
He has been selected by the Telegraph
represent it in Atlanta, nnd to furnish its
readers with facts of public interest that
may occur there. We pay Lim for this ser
vice, which bos been satisfactory to ns and
our numerous readers. As to the cose
point, we have not nsed all of tho facts
placed in our possession.
A few general remarks may not be out of
place in this connection. It is to the in
terest of the people of-Georgia that thoy
should be furnished with a full and true
account of all of their servants in State or
Federal employ.
For many years they have been debarred
from this enjoyment, so necessary to the
health of parties and the conduct of good
government. We are making a determined
effort to supply them with tho necessary
and jptercsting information, and onr
readers and patrons hare demonstrated in a
marked manner their gratification. There
are some people who do not like this, and
have given token of dissatisfaction in more
wayB thun one.
We cannot be deterred from tho prosecu
tion of the good work. We have a right to
look into the official conduct of those who
are clothed with public trusts, and when wo
detail a man of character and capacity to
this duty we propose to stand by him.
If a journal had been as thoroughly
equipped and appointed to this work years
ago as tbe Telsobapii is now, Georgia
would have been saved much of disgrace,
humiliation nnd debauchmont, nnd would
have boen in a much better condition in all
respects to-day than she is. If an exposure
of devious ways nnd dubious practices, a
stern opposition to bad men, and a vigilant
observation of public officials can help her
reputation and public service, sho shall
have them in the futnre.

Colonel Fllz.lmon. nml Ei-Muihel fitw-
1 Limoni.
We give in another column the comunni-
cation of Colonel Fitzsimons, who has been
for years the United States marshal of
Georgia. Wo cannot sea that any injury or
injustice has been done him by our Atlanta
correspondent.
He was and is a public official until his ao-
connts are settled with tho government.
As such bo was dealt with by onr corres
pondent, and we propose in those comments
to keep tbe officer and the individual separ
ate and distinct.
It is agreed that a suit has been com
menced against the bondsmen of Marshal
Pitzsimona, both sets. He asked for this
suit, as appears by the letter
of the Comptroller of the Treasury. In
The First Act Only.
Atlanta has witnessed the first act only in
tbe prohibition drama. Success has grati
fied tho consistout nun and women. It has
also encouraged and nerved the fanatics of
both colors, and has excited the cupidity
and the ambition of the politician.
Yesterday thousands of Republicans ate
their Thanksgiving dinners with gusto and
relish after reading tho reports that in
town located in the South the color line hod
been broken by money sent from tbe
North,
Politics is tbo armed man hiddon in tbe
belly of the Orecinn horse, not only in the
sections inimical to the South but nearor
home.
On yesterday morning there appeared in
tbe Atlanta Capitol, this trom a prominent
prohibition leader, Air. Anderson:
Pleue call apectal attention to the importance
a full regUtrstlon of the friemls of tempemnee
for the city election.
Atlanta is shortly to have a municipal
contest, and the men who won on Wednes
day proposo to repeat the victory by simi
lar agencies. From this the step is easy
and short to Stute and Federal elections.
No one but a prohibitionist is to be put
on guard, none but tbe faithful to enjoy
officea of honor and profit.
Disclaimers will not avail iu the presence
of facts. Swelled np by victory, a move
ment will bo made in Macon.
The experience of Atlanta has demon
strated that good men and women, bigots,
fanatics and politicians of all colors
and conditions will bo joined in the
movement. What was intended os
moral question, to lie quietly settled
by the people of every locatily, has been
woven into a political movement, demand
ing immunity under the garb of religion,
while threatening personal rights and
eiitablished government.
We should not like to see the scenes of
Atlanta re-enacted here. We do not be
lieve that this community could be wrought
into a frenzy with so many disgraceful ac
companiments.
The Telegraph takes this early occasion
to say that it will not invite such a move
ment or submit to it quiescently. It hsa
its own opinions on the subject which have
time and again been frankly laid before
its readers. These it stands prepared to
peat and maintain whenever occasion may
seem to require. There is nothing new to
be said in the way of debate on either aide
of the question. As has been remarked of
tbe clerical and lay oratory in Atlanta, it
waa but a reproduction of debating society
eloquence of an hundred years ago.
When the contest comes, the Telegraph
will have a corps of trained and intelligent
reporters to give a truthful account
of it from day to day, but it
does not intend to surrender its
columns to the exclusion of news and read
ing matter, which its patrons have a right
to expect, that prohibitionists and their
opponents may display had temper and
manners and bring discredit upon churches
and religion.
Those who wish to use the Telegraph to
How the News Waa Spread#
To-day tho Teleobath presents a com
plete exhibit of tbe great contest in Atlanta,
rnodenp from special • reports of corres
pondents who were upon tbe ground, and
communicating with this office by special
wire every few minutes.
Tho bulletins sent by onr reporters were
posted in front of this office and were read
by orowds all day long. Throughout the
day the office force was kept busy at the
telephone answering inquiries, nnd sendibg
answers through both telegraph offices
to poiuta about in tbe State.
The news gathered by tbo Atlanta depart
ment of tbe Tei.eobph was earned to Au
gusta over a sperinl wire and copies of our
bulletins were there displayed simultane
ously with tboso posted in this city. By C
p. m. tho people of Augusta nnd Macon,
and many points throughout our territory
were informed ns to the details, inciuenie
and result of the most remarkable con
test ever wnged in a Georgia city. This
service was free to all at the expense of the
Telegraph. In its wide scope, in
its correctness, in its rapidity, it marks an
era in Georgia journalism, and sustains the
paper’s claim to tho best nnd earliest news
from the capital.
Bnt all our friends have not been able to
avail themselves of yesterday’s ««rvico.
This morning's Telegraph, which is practi
cally a second edition so far ns the election
concerned, goes out' with tho whole
matter summed up. It will be dropped m
Forsyth, Griffin, Barnesville nnd Jonesboro
advance of all papers, and tho Atlanta
enrriers will have it on tbo rnn at 7:30 a. m.
Beyond Atlanta it will go side by side with
the earliest edition of tho Constitution. It
will beat all competitors to Milledgoville,
Sparta and points upon the Macon nnd
Augusta road, and share the honor
beyond Barnett on the Georgia road. It
will bent all competitors to Fort Valley,
Unrsballville, Montczama, Americns, Al
bany, Eufaula nnd all points on tbe South
western and Muscogee roads. It will carry
tha news first to all points between Macon
und Jesup on tbe East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia road below Macon and first to
all points on the snmo road between Macon
and Atlanta.
The Deadly Hedy Coat.
Though the physical vigor of Mr. Hen
dricks hsd been giving away before the ad
vance ot years, and he was subject to fre
quent attacks of more or less severity, it
would appear that tho shock which hast
ened his death may be directly charged to
what is known as a body cout, or more fa
miliarly a claw hammer or swallow tail.
Ho bad put off heavy clothing for a dress
suit to attend an evening reception. The
change gave him a cold and precipitated his
death.
Many men who have passed the meridian
of life contribute to their deaths in a similar
way. A young and vigorous man may doff
heavy suit for a light one, spend the
night in dancing and feasting nnd escape
with a slight cold, or, at worst, a sharp
attack of influonzn, but old men cannot
afford to take such cbnnccv. Now anil
then a man comes along like Hannibal
Hamlin, who can afford to trent such com
forts os socks, undershirts and overcoats
with disdain, but the instances are rare.
Tbo demands of Washington society are
dangerous to our statesn.cn of advanced
years. Tho winter climate of Washington
is simply abominable. When on old Con
gressman has sat in a cloze and nnbealthy
hull during the dsy, aud then arrays him
self in the garments of a young beau, and
goea to t..e theater or a reception, ho
taking very short chances npon his life.
Last winter so many men died from colds
contracted by standing uncovered at funer
als in a freezing atmosphere, that it at
tracted attention and discussion.
The death of Mr. Hendriclu ought to
help to abolish the body eoat or to make it
of such material as would offer warmth and
protection.
At forty-six thoconstitutionof the average
man begins to deteriorate. After that pe
riod he cunnot afford to triflle with his
habits or health.
The latter may be preserved for years by
keeping the body, especially the vital por
tions of it, warm and well protected from
draughts aud climatic changes.
Much ot fatal pleurisy and pneumonia
may be justly charged to tbe account of tbe
body coat.
