Shuey'a Temperance Bill. 1 ha add or of the T-lrrmn la uis n.w-born seal m ' )or ot Temperance, haa aeen fit to denounce two i of the Representatives of thi county for their rote i on tin- liquor bill, introduce! by Mr. Shuer, in the j legislature of thir winter. Turn ia wrong, and places ', the gentlemen referred tt in a false position. We do : not think it tvces.ary that a man shall advocate every . foolish prf p:t.m for the suppression of the traffic in j liquor, to ot:sl'.tut hiui a good and zealous temperance man. The bill introduce! by Mr. Shuey requir- j ed the applicant for license to obtain tbe signatures of j tuajuritv of the rotcr of eac'i to-rmhip, before he , c mid obta n lit :r ne. Which nr. ul.l virtually prohibit ! the granting of any license. We had a prohibitory ! law a few years ago, and all know that while it rs- ; mained on the Statute Bonk, it was a dead letter. The ( present law was adopted in its stead. And it is the! opinion of onrwiaeatand best men, that if rtspro- ' notion ara faithfully enforced, we need no better law. '

If intemperance and vie prevail ood.r our present law, it is not the fault of the law, but of the people ' and the otliceri of tbe law in aot enforcing its provision. If we cannot enforce the present law. which some say ia too mild, how can we enforce one much ! more stringent t Aa limit as there are whisky drink- ; era, there will be whisky sellcra, law or no law. Had '. not thi-a butter regulate or control its sale so as to I check as far aa poaaibla its evil tcoitencies, than to j paas a law which would lay aa a dead Idler npon our I Kututo botk.tt i This is the view taken hy too of onr Representatives, an I alao by John U.

The chief of this body wrote to j one of his servsnts to appoint aa many deputy col- j lector aa be cou'.d rh this county, and be sure to sp- f jioint none, except such a. woald promise to be all' right for George Julian for Congress. So the dispen- j scr went around to visit the fuithful, and he appointed one in Union and one in Farmland, but it was thought probable that Colonel M. B. Miller, anight he induced to take the position. So ha was written to, and asked if he would consent to collect the revenue, and he .aid he would, and .0 the office disnser set rut to ace the Colonel, and when about to make out the appointment, the following dialiue took place : Office Dispenser I (appose Colonel, yoa are all right for Julian T Colonel What do you mean, lo rote for him T Office Dia. Tea, sir, I suppoase of course you will vote fur Julian. Colonel S air, I can't ot for kira. Office Dispenser Well, air, yon can t have the appointment. Mr. Havlau is compelled to rote for Julian, and ao must all his appointees. The dispenser then hunted up a Mr. Engle, who has Heretofore tieen a Democrat, and he pledged himsei u vote for Julian, and he was appointed. The As J sessorand Collectors ara all anti-Administration, and rharge President Johuaou with being in league with Copperheads and rebels. These men owe allei.inw to Julian and not tbe Adniinis'T.tion. Mr. Chenaey ia ia a bad fix. Col. T. M. Browne ' made him all he ia, and he feels under ob!ipatim to ' hint, but Frank DigKs and Joe Puckett have him by , the throat aad they snake him cry aloud for Julian. i It is.sed by some here who prcten 1 to know, that i there are secret societies all through tho district where they take oath. r pledges to support no one bnt Jn- i lian for Congress. I would not like to vouoh tor the truth of this, .till I think it is tme. I am satisfied ! that there i. an organisation nf some kind, where the ' faithful meet, and concoct their plans. W. II. T. j " Sew converts are always the mt xeilous," is a j saying that has passed into a trathfut proverb. Our i neighbor of the Trlmm, is a fair sample of its truth- j fulness. We recollect that he himself is a suff. rer i from the attempt made in the past to bring "the illegi- j timate traffic in intoxicating liquors to an end," in thia i ity. He wa. Cued "like bUis," for violating tht- ' same law, wa now have on onr Statute books, in two esses. Hi. knowledge of the tratSc, is purely exprrimtntal be Unifies to that which he knows, and knows whereof he speaks. Wa congratulate him on his re formation and conversion ; an.! now that he has en- i tered thalisU, and declared " war to the kaite. and tbe ' knife to the hilt," the old war-hor.-. of temperance. who have grown gray in tbe service, will have to I Uud aside, aad permit this new and aealou. convert to lead the Tan.

" thought best, without first consulting him ! According to the Ttltgramt own showing, when trying to prove there was a , -iii . regular organized whisky movemeat on foot at the last election, in the case of Mr. Kirn, the vote received by hipponent, would indicate the whisky! strength in the city, which is 37 ; because he avers that when Mr. K. refused to sign the pledge the "whisky-men'' wanted him to, tley "nut the name of another candidate on their tickets and , , ... , ... , 1 tried har-d toe-iprt lnm hut tnile.l " T in vote, therefore, that Mr. Kirn received, ! mint, by the same mode of reasoning,! be t!i temperance strength of the city, ! which is 571.

Finley and Kikn, we thank them for their humanity and kindness. But, hereafter, we have the promise of witnessing feats of nnparalled valor in the person of the editor of the Ttltgram. We can imagine we see the redoubtable editor, armed like his illustiious predecessor, Don Quixotte, with a dinner pot on his head for a helmet, and a huge cheese-knife in his hand, for a lance. charging the "whisky-men," and shouting his slogan : " War to the knife ami the knife to the hilt!" We opine that the devil himself couldn't staml a " tilt " like unto this, especially when he rom bines with his hostile demonstration the threatened labors of the missionary, and make the whisky-men" aforesaid, realir.e "the fact that there is still a God in Israel ! " How our neighbor can do this latter thing, when he himself has never been brought to that " realization, " will be a wonder. The spirit of Sampson may nssist him! We trust he'll come out more than conqueror in the fight particularly in the missionary work, and that, in converting the heathen, be may experience a change himself of heart and conscience.

RundJlph Journal atttWe also confess to some little stir Prlse at tl,e de9ertion of Mr. Julian by Mr Duckwall ; but we must sav. his 4th reason for not supporting him is worth all the balance, for that strikes George just where he lives. The Julian organs of the district, are growing "smaller by degrees and beautifully less. " In tlie last canvass, seven newspapers were in favor and four against him in the District. Now, there are seven opposed to Mr. Julian, and but three that can be relietl on by him. His situation reminds us of an anecdote told by a traveler who was passing through Canada. After a long day's ride, he, with other passengers were gathered round a cheerful fire. An ill looking cur had quartered himself in the comfortable apartment, when the landlord entered, and observing the ca I remarked : nine specimen, " Fine dog, tj approachiuir or lat !

" No, he don't, " was the reply. j "Then he is yours, and you have a j treasure, " (throwing the animal a crack I er.) j He is not mine." " Oh !

Universal Suffrage in the District.

Seven hundred and thirteen votes were cast, cut of which but one was in favor of the establishment of nejrro suffrage Chicago Times' Washington Dispatch. To this the Chicago Tribune makes the following pithy and caustic reply: Georgetown sent 520 white volunteers to the rebel army to help destroy the Union, and less than ftftv white men to the Federal army to fight for the national cause; but Georgetown furnished 400 colored volunteers who enlisted without bounty and for 810 per month to do battle for the salration of the Union.

He had gained a deep hold upon the people's heart, and no one living at the time ran ever forjet the profound and universal expressions of sympathy and sorrow which hia death occasioned.
