for?" The good ellcct of the suppression of the liipior traffic in town is already manifeslinc itself. Many of the most abandoned drunkards show signs of reformation. Men who have, heretofore staggored to their homes daily in a state ol beastly intoxication, now greet their wives and children as sober, rational beings.— "What good citizen will not rcjoieo in so glomus a redemption ot fallen humanity. Order, sobriety and decency reign in Crawford.-ville. The 'volution has been sueccssful and revolutions never go backwards.

Ira Crane has just received, direct

from New York, one of Singer's celebrated first-class sewing machines. It is on« of the most heaulilul pcioes of mechanism we have ever seen. J'crsoiis wishing garments made to order should call at .Mr. Crane's tailoring establishment on ashington street.

Ii'Uxs.—Probably there never Av.is a year in the history of Crawfordsvtlle, when there was as many idlers to be seen as ai the present time. ''.Like the li 1 lies of the valley, they toil no!, neither do they spin." Most of these idlers are young men. Now that the liijuor traffic has been suppressed in our midst, would it not be well to adopt some measures to benefit these unfortunate specimens o: humanity who are out of employment? The ball alley a:id billiard saloon, to a certain extent, serves to mitigate the ennui with which they are afflicted, but it is evident that there is not enough exercise in that kind of amusement to warrant a healthy development of the muscular system. Like that poor vagrant, Charley Woodruff, they" no doubt think that the world owe* them a living.

KINO SOLOMON'S BLACKSMITH.'-"*-

And it came to pass when Solomon, the son of David, had finished the temple of Jerusalem, that ho called unto him the chief architects, the head artilicer.s and cunning workers in silver and gold ami in wood and in ivory and stone—yea, all who aided in working on the Temple of the Lord, and he said unto them: "Sit you down at my table I have prepared a feast for all my chief-workers and artificers. Stretch forth yourhands, therefore, and eat and drink and be merry. Is not the laborer worthy of his hire.' Is !i"t the «killful artificer deserving of honor? Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn." .'

And when Solomon and the chief workmen were seated, and the fatness ot the land and the oil thereof were set upon the table, there came one who knocked loudly at the door, and forced himself even into the festal chamber. Then Solomon, the King, was wroth and said, "What manner of man art thou!"

And the man answered and said: hen men wish to honor me they call me Son ot Forge but when they desire to mock me, they call me blacksmith and seeing that the toil of working in lire covers me with sweat and smut, the later name, King, is not inapt, and in truth thy sen ant desires no better." "But," said Solomon, "why came you thus rudely an.l unbidden to the Ira.-t, where none save the chict workmen of the Temple are invited.'" "Please ye, my Lord. 1 came rudely," replied the man: "because thy

mtn

ant ob

liged me to force my way: but I came not unbidden. Was it not proclaimed that the chief wo kmen of the Temple were to dine with the king of Israel.'

Then, he who carved tiie cherubim said: "This fellow is no sculptor. And he, who inlaid the roof with pure cold, said: '-Neither is lie a workman in

made a most severe attack upon the Firtet Controller of the Treasury. Mr.Medill, because he would not pay damages to Carmick and Iiumsay, for the alleged abrogation, by the Government, of their mail contract between Vera Cruz and San Francisco. Mr. Mcdill, by a law of Congress, was directed to assess the damages sustained by said parties for the abrogation of their contract. The Attorney-General, by some means, got the case before him, and decided that there was no contract to abrogate. Mr. Medill acted on that opinion. Carmick and Knmsay claim that neither the Attorney-General nor Mr. Medill had any right so to decide, as Congress had an investigation, and by a report of its committees ascertained and decided that there was a contract, and that it had been abrogated and that therefore, all the Controller had to do was to ascertain the damages.

A reference was made to the Judiciary Committee, on the suggestion of Mr. Groesbeck. There was much warmth^of feeling exhibited on the subject. V4 i:

TOE PRINCIPLES and ORGANIZATION I# OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY 7A11 men who are honestly and sincerely attached to the Democratic party, are so, from a conviction that its principles are founded in justice and truth—and these applied to the science and practical workings of government tend to equality and guarantee the greatest good to the greatest number. "There are no necessary evils in government—its evils exist only in its abuses," and it is the mission of the Democratic party to correct all errors and abuses, and then under its guidance, government, "like the dews of Heaven will dispense its blessings alike upon the rich and the poor—then it will be an unqualified blessing." To be efficient the Democratic party must have an organization, and that organization must be respected. It must be held sacred by all members of the party.

An individual may: asseverate until he is black in the face, that he is a Democrat —he may proclaim ifc from the house-tops, from the market-places and high-ways— but unless his works correspond with his profession, we would not give .a straw for his Democracy. He must be known by his works, and if while thus professing Dc-

CUBA'S FUTURE,-—A REVOLUTION Arranged—Ten Thnnsand Men Ready With Anns—A Declaration of Incdpendcncc Prepared.

Thc New York Herald is furnished by a correspondent at New Orleans, under date of tlic 28th ult., with the following programme of future movements in Cuba. Thc reader, if lie don't believe it, need only wait awhile if he does believe, then if he is fond of amusements, probably he had better take sail at once and be "in." Says thc writer:

The revolutionary party in Cuba is thoroughly organized, with abundance of men and means to accomplish the undertaking. They only await thc signal to rise and declare their independence. This will be done. Whether they maintain it or not is another question, and one in which the Southern people will not be disinterested spectators.

The plans of the revolution arc deeply and surely laid, and tlic men who lead on and control the movement have the entire confidence of more than three-fourths of the people of Cuba, as has been ascertained by a careful canvas through the island by men deputed for that purpose.

This movement is not a mere ruse to frighten Spain into selling thc island-to tho United States. The loading men of Cuba do not desire tiiat. They revolt at the idea of beinc sold as slaves-, and sold for

A largo number of Americans are already in Cuba, thoroughly organized, and provided with proper means for rendering material aid to the revolutionists. Some of those men have been for along time residents of the island. Others have boon emigrating thither, quietly, for mouths past, with, it is presumed, a full knowledge of what was contemplated.

A time has once been set for the execution of this movement, but the presence of the Spanish fleet, backed by that of France determined the postponement of the
