They do not prohibit They inculcate doctrines and habits of evasion, hy pocrisy and pe'jury, the demoralize and un dermine society more effectually than the use of s.roug driuk. Prohibition by the force of an enlightened public opinion is a much surer safeguard than legislative prohibition, and is always as strong and efficient as the sentiment which creates it.?????????Edgefield Cbronicle. The above remarks of Senator Butler have been widely circulated, and the opponents of prohibition seem to have been greatly com forted. Tbo only striking thing at all about the matter is tbe alliteration in the words, ??????Does Prohibit?' and the only astonishing thing to us is, that Senator Hitler should at this time array himself not only against the temperance movement which is going till over tbe country, but that he should use his powerful influence to flood the country with free wbitky and tobacco, while our clothing, our coffee and our rice are taxed beyond en durance. ???Doea Prohibition Prohibit?" We answer, most post tvely, that it does prohibit, aDd we assert that there can be no deoylng the fact, no matter what fallacious Azures rouy be brought to prove the contrary.

From tbe Washington Hatchet. A vltltiug friend found elmkius with his coat off ???landing on the doorstep tbo other night, and re marked: "Suffering Ctesar, man, you'll catch anawfulcold jut hero in your shirt sleevci." "That???s what 1 warn," said Slmktus, cheerfully. 'Got 10 sing a bass solo at aaomalumeut to morrow night, you know.??? of a crime so offensive as that of sbootiug - neighbor? Dors the law against any ini mural act promote the evil? Until donator Butler can answer these questions in the affirmative his reasoning against tbe prohibitory law will go fornaught. If these laws encourage the evils which they are intended to suppress, then all our theories of government are at er ror, and tho sooner we repeal all laws, the better for our people We would then certainly need "an enlightened public opin ion," which would need be strong enough restrain tho evil doer. Why should the law against tho sale of whisky have such an evil effect as to "incul cate tbo doctrine and habits of evusiou, by pocrisy and perjury, that demoralize and undermine society more effectually than the useof streng drink?" Words were never ut tered which bear upon their face more strong ly the impress ot errorand false reasoning Does bis experience snd observation of the working ot tbe local proMoitory law, satisfy General Butler, that tbe people of the "dry??? towns have become a crowd of liars and h; pocrites? Is all the truth and virmre to I found assembled around the whisky shops at thediflerent cross-roaos, while ins places which have no whisky are crowded wl-h ail manoer of liars and hypocrites? No; Sena tor Batter's reasoning is as unjust and Insult- ing to the temperance people as it is errone ous. Why does not some of the oher laws, which are on our statute books, demoralize our people? It seems that General Butler believes that a prohibitory law is the only i which would produce liars shd hypocri- A largu per cent of the progr-aslv* towns in this state have local prohibitory laws.' We should like to know the ratio of tbe increase of Han and hypocrites in these towns, which have done to foolish a thing as to shut up the whisky shops which en couraged morality snd promoted truth and honest dealing, According to Senator But ler???s ressoolug the towns which have been "dry" from tbe beginning, would by this time have produced a most prodigoue crop of well defined liars and hypocrlties. It la in deed strange (hit the temperance workers have not discovered that "dry??? townaare full of these offenders, while the "wet" towns are composed of people who are the ideal of hon or, of virture, truth and sincerity. Will Senator Bntier give tbe exact facts and figure" to show wherein tho ???dry" towns have more liars snd hypocrites than the towns which arc full of whisky? Will be that the people of Barnwell county will de velop a race of liars and hypocrites became of their lack of barrooms, while Edgefield county, under tbe benign influence of moral barrooms will produce a people who shall be the vera pink of perlection in the Christian graces?

One of them was as murder* ous in appearance and as fearless as either of tho James boys, and at one time belonged to their banditti. He was the notorious robber, Polk Wells. His companion was perhaps less daring, but equally desperate. Wells offered a $5 bill to the costlier, Mr. Sexton, asking to have it changed, and when the cashier turned bis head for tba f purpose, the second robber Aimed two 41 caliber 8 inch revolvers at his head, aud held him there while Wells sprang over the counter and in a moment had placed the cash in sight ($4 GOO) ia a sack.

They atole them last Saturday. Mr. Hoag- land, general inspector of customs, attempted to aeixe tbe stock aa smuggled property. Lieutenant Davis refused to recognise the demand, faying the stock waa notin his charge. The demand was then made on Davis aa a citizen of the Uuited States to assist the officers in making the seizure. ???Make the attempt,??? he said, "and you???ll see what I'll do." Geronimo declared he would die before he would give up the stock,and that he would put 2,000 Apaches on the war path in 48 hours. He despatched runners to tbe reservation about midnight, and tbe Indians broke camp, taking the stock. Lieutenant Dsvis says tbe situation is serioas, and that if the demand is iusistedon it will result in the biggest Apache rising ever known.

Washington, March 12???Tae bouse naval com* mlttee has agreed to report favorably a bill re storing Captain Alfred Hopkins to bis former rank the navy. Hopkins was la charge of the Pen sacola navy yard during tbe yellow fever epidemic 1583. and was dismi-sedf y a naval court martial ring the epidemle, and oa the desired permission being granted he himself left the eft y revolvers to bear upon him. horses, they mounted and rode out firing back with reckless indifference to in timidate any one inclined to pursue them. They were traced to Dubuque, Iowa, where he opened a hotel, and where Sheriff Daniel Farrml followed them. When he reached Dubuque Norris was away, but Wells was in his hotel quietly attending to his business. When the officers were within a block of the hotel they were in plain view of any person looking from its office window and with the turn matters hud taken it was impossible to avoid this exposure. The robber sat looking out of his office window and saw them ap proaching. He knew at once that it was an unusual crowd for that time in the morning, and he became suspicious. To be suspicious was to be forearmed. He immediately went to the back part of the hotel, from which he might have escaped, but that it was his boast that he never ran away from any man. Here he arranged and looked to the condition of his two revolvers, and waited the approach of the officers. Farrell, knowing nothing of this action on the part of the bandit, followed by tbe crowd, went into the hotel and ap proached the clerk of the office and iuquired lor Mr. Warner, the name by which Wells was known Scarcely were the w*>r ???s out of bia mouth before the door within about three feet of hint, leading to the dining room, was thrown open and Wells oppeared with n 44 caliber revolver in hand Farrell asked him if he was Mr. Warner. ???Yes,??? said Wells, os he instantly leveled the murderous weapon in the face of the intrepid officer. They were standing close together at tnis time, and Fur rell had tuk*n the precaution to draw bis re volver ami hold it cocked in bis overcoat pocket. The desperado confidently expected that the officer would say he did not wish to see him and as sp eeily us possible beat a re treat. There are b it few men who would not have done so. Farrell, notwithstanding ho was at tho dhadvuu:age of having bis revol ver in his coat pocket while that of tho man who would take his life on the instant he showed fight was cocked in his face, still thought ho had un even chance, and he acted promptly. Striking tho pistol from his face, lie drew his own, und then one of the most terrific struggles ever known to kill his man and save himself began. That Farrell was very quick was shown by tbo fact that both the dangerous wound from which he was auf- fering it was just thirty days from his enter ing prison, and while confined at the hospital that he murdered the guards of the hospital, aud with two others escaped from the prison. He was recaptured. In a few days, his injuries preventing him from traveling. He was tried and convicted of murder, and eenteuced to imprisonment for Jife. A DRUMME-.???S EXPERIENCE.

Wright, n member of the enterprising firm of \Y. Duke, Sons A Co., who has re cently returned from a tour around the world, elicited the following facts which we E resent to our readers, as matters of interest Ir. Wright says, that eighteen months ago he started on a business trip in tho interest of W Duke, Sons & Co. Leaving New York be sailed for Liverpool, and alter spending about three weeks in the domains of her British majesty,he passed over the channel to Belgium, visiting Antwerp and Brussels, thence to the ...following places: Rotterdam tbe Hague, Amsterdam, Bremen, Hamburg Copenhagen, Gotteubrg, Christiana, StocL holm, St Petersburg, Berlin, Leipsic,Dresden Prague, Vieuna, Munich, Frankfort,Cologne, and Paris, then oack to London. From London he sailed' for tho Cape of Good Hope, Africa, calling en route at tbe Madeira Islands, a piacaof resort for English consumptives, aud also celebrated in years past for its excellent wines which acquired their finest flavor in nur southern stares. The Christmas of 1882 was spent in southern Africa where much to his discomfort, he found the weather exinmely lmt, but was regaled by the delicious fruits and vegeta bles of the tropical climate. American toDaccos were used there, hut ex ported chiefly from Eogland. Aa tocivilita tion, the natives of the English colonies are beginning to learn the language and are mak ing some advancement. But even in the most civilised portions, tbe English, Dutch und native Kafir languages are each so exten si rely used that un interpreter is found to be an absolute necessity. Tha dress in the Eui fish colonies is similar to that worn in the ol country; but after leaving tbe sea shore, anti the largo cities, it was curious to find that the inhabitants were quite independent of tail ors, and follow the good old Adamite fashion. Tne men buy their wives at from live to ten bead of cattle, tho price being in proportion to comeliness and age, and tbe number allow ed to each individual is only limited by the extent of his rauche. American goods, such as hardware, wagons, carriages, agricultural implements, cotton ells???s shut, just missing Farrell, took effect in the door casing behind him. Farrell's shot took eflect in Wells's lett breast, passing un- der the breast bane and lodging ia. tbe right aide. This wound did not in tbe least disable him at that time, but he stepped back a step into tho dining room, with Farrell following doss to him. Both fired again, eaob tryii.g to avert the shot of the other. Farrell's shot took effeot, and made a alight scalp wound, but did not penetrate the skull. VVells???s shot was turned aside by a blow from Farrell B this time the two men had closed, and Wei., kept backing around the room, each in the meantimo struggling to get in a shot and at tbe same time nold the weapon of the other. As they straggled through the room, they knocked over a stove, in which a hot tiro was burning. They broke tables, chairs and dishes. Finally, as they were passing by the stove, and before it was knocked over. Wells threw bia pistol arm around the pipe and tired, hit ting Farrell in tbo back of the bead. The ball passed across tho skull under the scalp. This shot for a moment paralyzed Farrell and car ried him to bis knees, and he lost his revol ver. Just os Wells was drawing down on him again he bud recovered and sprang and clinched Wells as his only hope far life. The shot of Wells went into the ceiling and Far rell throw bint heavily to the floor, and as they lay there Farrell seized Wells's revolver and struggled for its poeteitioo. knowing that it was death to tbe man who relsaaed bis hold. In the conflict on the floor tbey moved along until they came within reach of Far roll's pistol, which he immediately seized, but before he could fire Wella also tailed hold of it with hla left hand, aud tbere tbs; fought, Wella bolding Farrell???s pistol witl bis left and bia own with his right band. Ia this position they fought for tha mastery un til from sheer exhaustion they, attli holding with a death-like grip, rested to catch breath and lake any advantage which m gbi offer. Occasionally they would surge and writhe and then remain qnlet again. Not a word was spoken during all this.tlm- by either man. It was too aerious a matter fur conversation. They were very evenly matched in strength, and it waa apparent that an advantage moat be secured by strategy, Wells prepared to do this. Ha made a terri ble effort, throwing himself tbe jull distance between their outatretobad arms and landed hla feet on the breast of Farrell. This threw Farrell a little back and broke hla hold on Wells??? pistol, but Weils still retained hold of Farrell's. In this struggle Wells Urea twice and struck Farrell a gruzing shot over the right eye and another shot through tbe point ol the right shoulder. Farrell waa kept so busy trying to knock oil these shots that he had no chance to tue bia own weapon. At this time Wells had finally loosened the hold of Farrell from hie revolver, retained bia hold on Farrell's and had thrown tttrrell partly ofl from him, both atill being on tbefioorand bleeding profusely. Farrell saved himself only by bia great presence of mind. Twist ing himself into position, and g raging tbe ef fort accurately, he kicked Wells on the arm and knocked the revolver out of bis hand and beyong bis reach. Wella instantly re leased his bold ou Farrell's revolver, which he had retained in bts left band, and drew a second pistol from his scabbard, bat by this time Farrell was able to gat in a shot, which be did meet effectively. Just as Wells was about to fire Forrel shot him in the wrist Weils' shot went Into tbe ceiling and hia re volver fell to the floor. With the dangerous wonnd through tbe breast, which was now rapidly weakening him, tbe wound on the bead and tbe shot through tbe waist, all of which were bleed ing freely, and above all the certainty tnat Farrell could kill him with the next shot, the desperado threw up his hands. "You've got me. Tbat???a enough!" he exclaimed. Farrell rataed himself from tbe floor and then helped Wells up. Wells reached out and shook btuda witb him, and immediately ???aid: "By G???d, you???re a good one. I'm sorry if I have hurt you,??? Farrell then pick- f il nn hath nf WdIU??? m up both of Wella' revolvers, and taking a by tbe arm they staggered along to Sheriff Chandler, who was with Norris. The two presented a frightful spectacle aa they went along the crowded streets with clothing torn and smeared with blood, which waa still flowing freely from all their woonds. After going down town a couple of docton were sent for, and tbe wounds of both men were dressed. Business in town had entire- id, and excitement reigned until the officers and prisoners left in Ihe eveniog. Wells proved to be ao badly disabled that be bad to ba taken all the way back on a cot. To know the desperate character of Well* it need only be stated that notwithstanding OHLLtlU^f vsvii _ out the colonies. From Africa, Mr. Wright sailed for Bombay, touching at Mauritius, un Island, situated least of Madagascar,the prin ciple city of which is Port Louis, of eighty thousand inhabitants. It will be remembor- ed also that tbe island of Mauritius was the home of the Dodo, an extinct bird of which naturalists have written so much. From Bombay, he crossed ihe empire of Indio, bj rsii to Calcutta, stopping at Jaypore, Delhi the former the capital of the Moguls, Luc|t now, Cawnpore tbe sqene of tho terrible mas sacra of English women and children during tlie mntiny. Agra, where may oe seen the celebrated "Taj" or tomb of Nourmahal said to be the moat beautifal piece of arch- teoturo in tho world; and Beuares, cel ebrated for its manufacture ol silken stuffs and for its sacred apes. From Calcutta he proceeded to Ceylon, where for many ages have been found tbe finest pearls known to commerce, thence to Singapore, Java, tho land of coffee, snd on to Australia, via Torres strait, which separates New Guinea from the main land. Thu principal cities of New Zealand and Australia were vidtdd in turn by Mr. Wright, and he alto found time for a short trip Into the interior of the conn- try. Tho native Australian, who Is very similar in appearance to tbe nrgro, is to the English Hitlers what the North American luoian has been to us, with tha exception that be ro-ials aud eats bis victim instead of simply taking hia scalp and leaving the carcats. Taking a final leave of the British empire. Mr. Wright now turned hia face homeward, and railed for San Francisco, only stoppiog temporarily at Honolulu, the chief city of the Sandwich islands, which carries on an extonsivo trade with America, The trip was a grand succesa, and Mr. Wright hail the pleasure of introducing at many of tbe aforenamed places certain grades of tobacco and cigarettes of tbo firm which have already acquired so enviable a reputation in tbe United States. He states that tho tdl~ .y li , that he has seen much tobacco, utterly unlit for use. On being asked if then was a reme dy for this, Mr. W. replied that W. Duke, 8ons?? Co., had so prepared their cigarettes specially for theso climates that they could always insure their safe keeping and that tbere was no complaint, but a constant repe tition of orders from then foreign markets. During the eighteen months' voyage, Mr. Wright enw only about tlx American flogs on tbe high teas which, iu bis opinion, tpeaka rather poorly for us a maritime nation, and in bis judgment, it Hems highly Important that our postofflee department should subsi dize liuea of steamers to ran bimonthly or monthly to south Africa, Australian and South American ports, thereby giving Ameri can manufacturers more frequent mall com- nmnicatlons, and grea'er shipping facilities. It being a noted fact thit all American mail matter as well as merchandise for south Africa must now go via. London, thereby incurring mach unnecessary delay and ex- [tense. In this connection he suggested that It might be well to state that tbe establishment of such subsidies would in no way augment tbe burden of taxation, but tbey would soon be oelf-iustafniDg and have most favorable influence upon our mercantile and other in tercata with foreign countries which, but for the difficulties and delays incident to tbe present circuitous mode of communication would use American goods much more freely. It rosy be well to advert to a few sentiments volunteered by ourfriend upon certain ques tions touching .'which the public mind of America has uflale been agitated: Referring to the abolition of the internal revenue tax ..???
