The tlrat item wo notice w the licenae
for retail liquor dealers. The 13lh Leg-!
lalaltire raiaed the license SOU per annum, j
la that no objectionable '! la that n '
crime ? Ought that to damn the Demoe
vacy forever in the eye* of the people?
t u the contrary, we endorse the actiou
Hilly. We say the Legislature did right, j
I'he drinking of liquor ia a luxury and'
not a neet*saity. Without giving our,
readers n temperance homily. we any that
it wiin a prutaeworthf a"t It wit* an ef
(ort in lit half o( morality. It won an act
in defence >*f the women and children in
Huh land. We only regret that they did i
not raise it nttl> higher ao hi^h, indeed, {
if mieh a thing be possible, as to crush
out the iuiiT'iit'iii* trade. All these It. i
(tense* on Inpnira, in whatever iplautities

OOUie under the Nii'ue head, mid may tie

The taxed on cir.-.tt *, allows, fortune
teller*, clairvoyant* and litiiubugrt gener
ally, have been raised, and j tstly too,

oouutry collecting up the money in every '
locality and oitniiii'iuity, nnd carrying it
off with then . and aproadirig tbeir isms'
and dogmas of superstition and fulno
teaching, «btuild be made to pay, mid |
deaily, too, for the privilege. If we are
to tie unpo*,' 1 upon tty them, nnd forced :
to tolerate them in our mtdnt, let the i
conutry at Ions' derive Nome lieuetlt from
thein. ' Another elaaa taxed by the 13'ti
Ie<gi*latiiro mul allowed to go *cot tree
by the I'ith, is the money broker* and
note shavers. While thene geutleuien are j
a *ort of nee easily, aud grow fat off the
imperious wants of other*, it in eminently i
proper end /ist that lliet should help to <
NiipiHtrt the Oovi rutnent that p'jti'Otai

Now what reaminablo objection can bo

not the part of windom to tax the mer-

a hua^y rate of taxatiou is imposed upon
the merohunt ia be not in self defouae

the people have to pa}* it ? Jiut if alight

an one as will still enable him to sell bin
goods without an increased percentage

Now the Journal raises a lugu'iriotis
howl over the fact that the distilleries and
breweries are exempt from taxation en-
tirely. It i* paint.il to rend it* wails of
woe. Its throes and groins are mighty
a* those of the mountain, and it bring*
forth about as large a monae. To exempt
distilleries and breweries from taxation,
was ol course, to invite their establish-
racut. Cm any man docl't that institn-
tion* such as those will tend to incruafte
the pro*perity of the State ? Do they
not create a market for the grain of the j
cuoutry r Cannot auy mau iu the vioin- '
itv cif one sell nil tbesurpliiH corn, wheat, '
rye, barley, apple* un l peaouer ho iC,~y '

is increased is m l the price naturally in
creased too ? Then, vi-wuig the matter i
in thia light -and it is tho true light in 1
which to view it—was it not iu harmony !
w\th the true interest of tho people to ,
e: empt tho dle'illerit** and breweries

Now wo invite a careful investigation

We elip from ao exchango the follow
ing synopsis ol one of Judge Coke's
speeches, which, if we rememtiur enricet
ly, was mado at Clarkbvilie. JudgoCoke
said :
Davis told them that the administration
of State had bm;n turned ovi r to them ;
but no sootier had lie uttered as much,
than be conceived the atiomiuehle bills to
take it Irom them. The police bill under
which no mtin held hi* life, liberty or
property, bat by tho sufferance of Ed
in nnd ,!. lV vis. That the force put upon
that duty 280 in> n, of tie* most I
wii'thle** r.tij degraded character, and if j
by chance thoro was a £ood mau fcuntl 1
on it, it wt'.s considered mi accident and
not intended—an exception 11 ttie rale.
This forac cost tlio State S17.000 per
month, bitsides tho ammunition and
gnna.
The militia bill goes with the police
foroe, mid are taken together, nnd author-
izes tho arrest of citizens without war-
rant ; gave Davis power to cull a drum-
head cunt martial, and uisintniu 11 stand-
ing army of themselves and martial law
supremo.
The people of Limoslone county could
testify to tho villainy of this fraud. It
waa robbud ity Davis' right bower, James
Davidton, the thief—aud a Ux of 810,.
000 asstwicd upon that county, and great
threats towardr the lib, rtiue of the citi
zens. Women aud children were ^ruu*
uing from house to bouse—mules were
sold for 9'i!1 that were worth S2H0, and
radical biddcrH bought them iu. llill
county was visited by the rufli.ius—Oath-
ings waa robbed of hW just earnings bo-
c.iuae he had wriu issued for the arrest
of men who had flearrbed bis homie.—

The registration bill is a device end
purpose for cheatiug tho citiz *n out of

pointed registrar could tafco from the
book* and add as many as he might see
proper, to miko up his cnot.
II any mau sought rebel, the cotirU
were deuied tho right to give it ; that
very power Iny jested in the registrar of

pelled by the infamous election order to
vote and retire to bis home, not only go

It was the legitimate construction of the
order.
That every act and measure oi pilioy

makes those officers elective. That tho
Sheriff of his county waa a I'-idieal ap-
pointee ; so was the District Attorney,
and the iroanoat man in the county, the
Governor having trade three nppoiut

During the sitting of the 12th legisla-
ture, tho railroad magnate* wore having

Tjiey met to usk tho powers that be, for
moderation in the administration of the
Htato Gevcrnrteot. They appointed a

raised a crowd of negroes and marched

A liwyor don't know h >*• to advise hi*

has so prostituted the Judicial ermine
that if a lawyer advises his client accord-
ing to the law of Texas, J111I40 Walker

That a few days ago, Jndgo Mancy is
