It only proves thai the friends of the
liquor traffic rallied more voters than the
friends of prohibition. It is Still true that
the liquor traffic is a curse to individuals
and to the community at large, indicting
evils beyond computation. It is still true
that it is a crime against tli0 moral and
physical well-being of society to sustain
an institution of this character. Aud it
is still true that whiljrfhe social and po
litical evils of its continuance will fall on
all alike, there is a tribunal where eachf
must answer for himself for the conse
quences of its perpetuation. I
From this view of the subject, the
friends jjf the cause cannot relax one iota
of their opposition to the traffic. On the
contrary, they must renew; their cljorts
.vith increased energy and! avail them
selves of every proper power to suppress
an evil with which they are: in some re-
spects inseparably connected, ami for.
which they arc in common either directly
or indirectly responsible. (They cannot
afford to be abashed by the sneers of those.
who glory1 in the recent liquor victory,
and will not be. The Acw? has under
rated them if it thinks so, Sand will yet
discover its error in its treatment of the
subject. The advocates of prohibition
sought not to indict damage on any one,
but. to promqte the highest; happiness of
all. Thcv 'have 110 regrets! so far as their

ing himself by the arm of - hia chair..: He
read his speech from manuscript, which
naturally marred the effect of Its delivery.
It was addressed to the political issues of
the day, and w as temperate; aad well
timed. At several passages the galleries
broke out into applause, notwithstanding
the warning rap of the gavel in the hands
of the chair. The sins of aonroval were
very marked when he spoke of the great
pleasure it would give him if the senatorial
chairs from the North were tilled by
Cuiou generals, and that such was not the
case must be laid at the door of the North
and not the South. He was verv emohnt-
ic in declaring that he would liot nuder
any circumstances vote to withhold sup
plies front the army. He concluded with
quite an eloquent outburst of what Mr,
lOUKUng denominated "gush" in his re-
ceuKgreat speech, but which mnst in tin
sentiment expressed commend itself to

Age, n.n alleged iudepeudeut paier which
at first saw nothing but staleuess in Sen
ator VanceVi recent speech, has experi
enced a change of heart with reference to
that gentleman and his speech and in
its last issue has this good word for
both: ;
Wit wins Its way faster than wisdom.
Few men have so quickly attracted the
national attention as Senator Vance. In
fact, before he arose at all on the floor of
the Senate, the news got abroad that the
staid dignity of the senatorial fathers was
to be relieved, and the press entered into
serious discussions about the value of fun
in national politics. lint the wires were
made merry even with the condensed and
blurred transmission of his jokes in his
first speech the otlier day. 1 1 seems prob
able that the whole nation is willing to
give its attention to Mr. Vance, as his
own constituency have done for many
years. At home ne isjtne most popular
man that his State ever produced. He
will soon joke his way into a national
reputation. IFortnnately, too. he has not
merely wit but wisdom also.

KlD3fArpiG CniMRKX IX PARIS. In
Paris people lament over the numerous
disiipjiearances of iufants, and this is a
mystery upon which no light can be
thrown. It is certain that about six
months ago the police arrested a woman
known as the 4iOgresse ties Lilas," w ho is

siippowu w nae sioieu several cuiioren
and to have made awaj wi.h them in
some mysterious mauuer. The 44 Ogi esse"
is still in prisiT she is a highly educated
woman, who has moved in tirst-class so-'
ciety ,-bnt wiiat her real name is the police
have leeu unable to discover. Toward
the close of the reign of Louis XV. there
was a repurt spread that a number of
children had disappeared; and serious
riots ensued when it was asserted that
they had been kidnapped for his Majesty,
who had been ofdered to bathe in the
bl od of c ildren.
With the beginning of the present ses
sion the Democrats iu both houses took
their stand iu opposition to the odious
Federal election laws, the use of the
army at thefiolls, and the'contimiance in
practice of tfce infamous jurors test oath.
From this position they have never wa
vered. Owing to the revolutionary pro
ceedings ofj the fraudulent President, tho
repeal of the biws which 'icrmitted these
outrages;; pure and simple, has been ren
dered im practicable and impossible. It is
now proposed that by the withholding of
the monetary supplies which are neces
sary to carry them into effect, and make
them of use to the Republican couspira
tors, they shall be rendered of no avail.
This Congress has the right to do. This
it is Congress' patriotic duty to do, aud
this Con cress intends to do. In thus
acting the dominant Democratic majori
ty abates not one jot of its first determi
nation, lliereisno back down, lp is
ather an advance along tho whole line.

It appears thai some of the stalwarts '
propose toi iteep up the -'irrepressible
couflici." The Indianapolis Journal thus,
states It : f 'The civilization of the South '
is essentially feudal and retrogressive;
that of the North is modern, American
aud progressi ve. These two systems can
not ermanently co-exist. The "conflict
between them is inherent, inevitable, and '
must go on till one or the otlier shall tri
umph.! There may be no more war or
hlodcdied7lmt the conflict will go on un
til it shall be settled ou tlie enduring prin
ciples of right.'
