THE GENERAL There wcro quite a number of vncaut scuts when the House 12 V usually the case on the first Meuday in l)eceuiber, many it ttie members having to get ^leaves of absence on i hat day iu order to look after business Mr. Brawly, for the judiciary committee, made an unfavorable report on Mr. MeKisflick's bill to make Monographers' notes ^ F final as to Judges chat go, rulings and tostimony in n caso, and nuked for the iinuicdtaU eoiiidtndon of the report, lie said W that the bill was not in the lino of sound public policy*lor it would be a dangerous thing to do to let the lutes of the stenogrupber have more weight than the presidiDg Judge hud. Tho report was agreed to and the bill rejected. Mr Brawley also made an unfavorable report on the bill reducing the Circuit Judges' salary to ?2,500. The bill goes on the calendar, however, to take its chances with the I13k. Thk Tcwnshu' Bonds.

Mr. Brawley sustained Mr. Trant ham's views, and hoped that the bill would gi through ou its own merits; the relief asked for by the amendments should be readied in other ways. Mr. Jstepp thereupon withdrew his amendment. and tho bill passed, as l.ctore stated.

Smith & lluntcr^J^BSMff first discoverod by Air. ThqgflH^MRpB who lives some distance in building and who hastened to it. He rays when he got there the fire was in a barrel of straw just inside the cellar door. He was unable to break open the door and wont for an axe, but when he relumed the fire bad spread to other com'bustiblo material and lmd gained such headway that he was unable to do anything to step it. The alarm brought tho fire engine promptly to the spot, and with the new hose, a full water cistern on the opposite side of the street, and manned by a number of willing colored men, under the command of their old Captain, Ab. Lewis, the fire was kept confined to that one building. All the goods iu the storo were oonsumcd. The books were iu the fire-proof safe nnd were saved. Next to it was was Mr. L. G. Young's Grocery Store, nnd for some time during the firo it was thought impossible to save it, and that the whole block of buildings mus^ go. Mr. Young's goods wore hastily nro#td and guards placed around them, but iM*# were badly damaged as might naturally be expected from the hast# required to save them from apparently inevitable destruction. Mr. Young's loss must be very heavy, , udgfroin the nppearatice of the street in fn nt of the store the next morning. Mr. Smith and Mr. W. J. Oetzelt were above the store and were aroused by ating almost suffocated with the smoke which fillod the room from below. Tlicy made a very narrow escape from being burned to death, and emerged faom their fearful danger with nothing hut their night clothes. Each of them lost a valuable gold watch, and Mr. Smith lest ?50 in money and about SSOO in notes. Among other losses was the beautiful flag of tho Johnson Rifles, presented to that Company hist Spriug by tlic Ladies of the town. Mr. i^mith being ths color bearer of the company, the flag w&s in liis care at tho time. Some uuiforpis and guns belonging to members of tho company were aleo burned up. The building belonged to Messrs. E. 11. Wallace and J- (.'. Hunter, and was insured for $4,000. Every circumsluoce connected with the fire points to a dastardly act of incendiarism. No tiro hud been in tlie building that day ; no match had been lighted in the cellar at any time, and tho fact that it originated in a barrel of straw not far from the cellar window window is conclusive evidence that it was the work of an incen. diary. This is tiro third f.rc wo have had this year, and it is u peculiar fact that encli originated next to a grocery and provision store, md suspicion of foul play att-ichcd >|.S ai-rt ^, icsed ir.en who worked so n^^yPat rc^ le avo deserving of great praifee, healthy d not ho forgotten hy our oltise^e. nc%or w _ long ng< 11 another colntuu will V? found busincst on of t lie Suj renio Court invtlidat- any one p and township bonds issued for turned a ailroude.

If whiskey selltog by the drug stores be an evil, as sotuo claim, we believe this would be n remedy and the peoplo of tho town will no doubt ?|?or the experiment." HVtV* aro not prepared to endorse such a jfttfteDing movement,'strongly as we arc opdrug stokg barrooms now ho every towii, and made possiolofunder the present law. In our opinion the law governing the giving of prescriptions for whiskey alone should bo made more stringent. It should requiro in the first place a formal affidavit of the physician giving a prescription fdr whiskey that tho person to whom it is given is really sick, and I irom oilier cause mnn ttie intemperate use of intoxicants; the character of tlic sickness for which it is given, that he is attending hitn orher as a physician, for such sickness; a^d further, that the patient is not an linbitual drunkard or intemperate in tho use of intoxicants of any kind. I The law should prescribe tho exact wording of the proscriptions, and it would not be amiss for the State or municipal authorities of the towns to have such prescriptions printed and supply them to physicians at cost, requiring that no other form of prescription for whiskey alone shall bo lawful, and subjecting every physician to a penalty Tor using any other form, or for giving any such prescription if he is not the really attending physioiau in tho case named therein. How often have we seen young men in the best of health get beastly drunk from whiskey purchasod at the drug store under the following prescription : 1 certify nud proscribe pint or quart of whiskey, for , and is necessary for Medical purposes. M. D., Attending Physician. What is there in the nbove prescription to prevent a physician giving a hale hearty friend, an order on the drug store for a quart of whiskey? Of course some physician will contend that such a stringent requirement as wo advocate would be au insinuation against the dignity and honor of their profession; but uiea who ure worthy to be admitted iuto the delicate and high position of family physician, who tiuly desire to keep up the dignity, honor and respectability ef their noblo profession, wili not object to any law that will throw around that profession every safeguard against disgrace by keeping in check those who would use it as a cloak to pander to the morbid appetites of their fellow men, bring ruin into the family circle and demoralize society. We do not expect to prevent the fcalo or use of whiskey as long as it is made; but we 1 It,. li.v, 1 wAonAAlnltilil.i r.mvuv.vu .vnjivviuu.u'j " * tho professions of Physician and Druggist, which is now being prostituted to debasing habit, by tin cupidity of men who are either not of those noble professions or have not the moral man insss to preserve the honor dignity and respectability of their calling.

The negroes replied in au insolent manner that they had paid for their tickets and proposed to retain their scats. No amount of persuasion would induce them to change their decision, and finally the white men informed them that they had ten minutes in which to vacate. At the expiration of that time the white men forcibly removed them, at the same time giving them a few raps with walking canes.
