j j sifford g-usjrdian sept 4th 85 it:lt for the watchman old customs in former years there were not so many voting places in rowan as now and more than half of the votes in the county were polled al the boxes in salisbury elec tion day was therefore the occasion of a very large gathering in salisbury and no1 infrequently a very boisterous day in those times there were customs in vogue which have passed away and of which the present generation have no knowledge one of these was the great abundance of spirituous liquors provided foi the crowd of voters who came to town to vote and participate in the excite ments usually attendant upon those oc easions there were more licensed liquor shops then than now and liquors were vastly cheaper and more easily obtained whisky peach and apple brandy cider ami cider royal were the most common drinks and sold at from ten to twenty cents per quart and cheaper still by the gallon tiny were not only obtainable al the licensed shops but from country wagons large covered vehicles which were always early on the ground com pletely surrounding the court-house which then stood in what is now known us i he public square where the voting was done they would back up within aboul twenty steps of the court-house takedown the hind gate of their wagon ii'l prop it up so as to make a sort of ta ble the barrels of liquor cakes apples c having been previously arranged in side the wagon with reference to conven ience for drawing out and selling it was luit the work of live minutes to get ready for business here they would spend the v hole day some of them holding on until late in the night almost everybody drank more or less and many to excess as a matter of course there was much drunkenness : and when politics were ex citing parly spirit ran high and lights were common that v as before the little pistol became an article of wearing ap parel and the hip pocket was dreamed of men who fell out squared themselves times threw off hat coat vest and lied their suspenders around their body and went at it with all their might fist and skull and never quit until one or the other cried nulf or take him off then the crowd would rush in and sepa rate hem ; and then the friends of the victor would crow or make other demon strations of joy ; and about nine times out of ten bring on anoi her set to — anoth er and another as many as thirteen lights have taken place on the court house hill as it was then called within half as many hour but there was little or no malice in any of them — were out bursts of momentary passion and too much whiskey by the time the pugilists had washed oil the dirt and blood and got 1 heir hurts patched up they were hunt ing up each other to beg pardon and make friends so that this rough play was really little more than the base ball amusement of the present day it was exceedingly rare that any malice was dis coverable in the broils thus occurring now and then an individual would ac quire the reputation of extraordinary lighting abilities and it was sure to give him a plenty of it to do such an one could rarelj go to a public gathering without being challenged and often com pelled to fight men in liquor have no fears and always feel five times stronger than they really art the late green kedwine when a young man was one of these unfortunates freeman rudders was another and in this category may be mentioned len rimer bullsnake weaver ran watson coon and mich fesperman and john p rimer the last still living and in his old age one of the most peaceable citizens in the county there were several others not now namable who were often forced into fights against their will and generally bore oil the laurels of victory they were courageous and powerful men and most of them had the good sense to de spise tin necessity of beating up a fellow man merely to prove that they could do it — these were the times and this the condition of society which gave rise to temperance societies many good citi zens deploring such a state of abounding dissipation and immorality labored ban to arrest il and it was long before they were able to make any perceptible im pression hut the work — commenced here in is32 — was continued with un abating zeal until public sentiment final ly crystalized against it and we have it down to what it is at the present day under the old system the legal frater nity had much more work to do and made more money than under the new whether or not this accounts for the fact that lawyers as a general rule have not been leaders in temperance movements the writer will not under take to say but it is noteworthy that wherever liquor drinking is prohibited there indictments for disorderly conduct are tew courts are less expensive and society least disturbed 15v-(io.\e ■«■■»■ c — ■ how to make good coffee you published from the atlanta constitu tion a georgia woman's recipe for making coffee it's nonsense her coffee is al lowed to boil awhile

a large cof fee cupful of the extract if carefully done the entire virtue of the coffee will be in the cupful of liquor at the end of five minutes for four persons use a quart of pure mik and have it piping hot ; heat the large cups by pouring into them hot water now divide the coffee into the four cups each of which will be oue quarter full ; fill with the boiling milk this is pure breakfast coffee the coffee of the gods of which no man after drinking would be so base as to call for a second ! cup such coffee cannot be had at any restaurant in new york he that driuk eth it this morning

to the convenience of the court death of gen mcclellan the sudden death of gen george ijrinton mcclellan of heart disease at his home in orange n j yesterday removes one of the most conspicuous accomplished and interesting public men of the country he was a native of philadelphia and had nearly completed his fifty-ninth year from his youth he was marked with distinction and when he gradua ted from the military academy at west point in 1846 he was made an officer in the elite corps the engineers in the mexican war he won two brevets and in isob he was sent to the cri mea to observe the operations of the allied war against russia a year later he left the army and became chief engineer of the illinois central railroad immediately after president lin coln's call lor troops the governor of ohio made mcclellan a major-general in the volunteer force of that state but so great was his military reputa tion that he was almost immediately appointed by the president a major general in the regulr army he achiev ed such success in some comparatively unimportant engagement in western virginia that ie received the thanks of congress and directly after the battle of bull run he vos*orlered to wash ington and put in command of the army of the potomac three months later on nov 1 1861 when gen scoot retired he was appointed the commander of all the armies of the united states this office however he did not long exercise being reliev ed of it with own consent devoted himself to reorganizing and disciplin ing the army of the potomac and to preparing it for a decisive movement against the enemy he took command of this army in the beginning of august and in march seven months afterwards he began his active campaign in the peninsula of virginia we shall not here under take to narrate the history of that tre mendous and disastrous struggle be ginning with the seige of yorktown and ending with the retreat to har rison's landing it is enough to say that while it resulted in failure and in volved an immense calamity to the union cause it was yet re ieyed by in cidents of brilliant valor and fortunate combination and while meclellan must doubtless be hold to a seven re j ponsibility he enjoyed at tlie end of it to an extraordinary degree the con fidence of his soldiers and the devoted friendship of the officers who had shar ed with him the horrors the misfor tunes and the glories of the campaign # * * * * # but we shall not discuss the ques tions beside the coffin of a gallant and patriotic soldier who in his i i more endeared to thousands oi . tneri cans than some others whose renown is not disturbed by criticim or ques tion — n y sun mm mst m mahone and sherman mahone will certainly not be return ed to the united states senate and sherman will possibly not dost like the picture but why do we say sherman will possibly not be returned is it asked because as the cleveland plain dealer says : when the senate convenes there will be no senators from hamilton county holding legal certifi cates if the four republicans preseni themselves they will not be sworn in without them there will be only sev enteen republican senators — less than a quorum — and they cannot organize the senate the democratic senators will never permit so gross a usurpation of authority to be carried out it it is undertaken and they will not sit in the senate if it is attempted the re sult will be that the senate cannot or ganize the official vote cannot be can vassed no joint session can be held no united states senator can be elected and no law can be passed to this state of affairs any attempt to make four republican senators from hamil ton county by virtue of the action of a court must certainly come thismight as well be understood if the repub licans think they have a case and that their men ought to be seated instead of the democrats they can have every op portunity to prove it in the senate but to that constitutional tribunal they must come the democrats ask noth ing but what is right and lawful but they will stand upon their rights and maintain them they will not submit to any revolutionary proceedings or any usurpation of authority in defiance of the constitution this is a solemn fact that the gentlemen who are trying to work the courts for a partisan and unconstitutional purpose vill do well to bear in mind now and save trouble further along there seem to be some pretty stout-hearted democrats in ohio as well as in new ork \ ir ginia and elsewhere q — a vermont soldier on foraker jen foraker the governor elect of ohio said in the course of one of hi bloody shirt harangues in new york : the south does not want to fight they got all they wanted 20 years ago there was a time when they claimed a south carolinian was tour times as good as any northern man we chopped that out of them with the sabre and punched it out of them with the bayonet this has not been answered from the south probably because it is really beneath contempt but it has called forth a response from the north from vermont and from a veteran of the union army this old soldier writes to the portland herald the follow ing the writer was for a time a union soldier and has been an ardent republi can since the election of lincoln lie lias no sort of sympathy with seiitinu utal and artificial enthusiasm over the blend ing of blue and gray when the right and the wrong of the great fight is lost to view ; but it docs grate harshly on an honest onion soldier's ears who know how splendidly the south spem its best blood like water and endured every pos sible sacrifice for their dreadful mistake to read such words as those used by for aker the vermont soldiers who saw pickett's charge at gettysburg : who saw even in lee's last retreat a handful oi half-starved confederates desperately charge jetty's whole division at sailor's creek know that no braver men ever stepped down to death than composed the armies of the south and it is shame ful to l»e always throwing their defeat in their faces they saw our hack at bull run at gaines mill at fredericksburg at chancellorsville and at chickamauga and they made a drawn battle with only 45,000 against 85,000 at antietam ; and while it is fair to say that they were wrong and that we were eternally right it is low and vulgar and unchivalrous at 20 years 1 distance from their defeat to twit them with our having chopped and punched the fight out of them so we did and it was right to do it : bui it is mean to lioast of it over a people whose courage made them worthy of all sol dierly courtesy their valor is part oi the proud record of the nation for courage and military hardihood ; they exacted two drops of blood for every one we drew from them they never flinched bill died as dies a wolf in si lence biting hard amid the dying hounds a dangerous measure the charlotte home-democart re produces and endorses the watchman's views on the blair bill and in that connection goes onto say why will people who favor a re duction of the present tariff advocate a ! measure to take several millions out of the public treasury and scatter it among the states when by so doing they create a necessity for keeping up the tariff on imports a»s well as the in ternal revenue on farm productions the blair education bill will do that and that is the measure which many good men are supporting it is indeed dangerous for as sure as the world stands it will at last bite like a serpent and sting like an adder a few of us probably only the wilmington star salisbury ivatcknuin and charlotte home-democrat intend to stand up against the iniquitous bill of abomi nations the passage of this bill by congress will hasten the day of a consolidated government for this country but that will be a small evil
