Suppression Of the Anti- Maine LasO
Paper-lrOubLe in The Carp.
The organ of the enemies of the
Temperance movement of the day,
the " Common Sense Against the Name
Law," is published at the Office of the
Ohio Statesman. The regular day for
its weekly issue was on Tuesday, but
it would not be exactly in order for
the public to expect liquor paper to
be very regular, so it was not ready
for issue till last evening, Thursday }
In the first column is the following ar
ticle in the shape of a communication:
For the Common Sense.
"Messrs. Samuel BarteIl, Alexan-
der Thompson, and Hiram Hendren,
are respectfully requested to state il
they intended to vote against the
Maine liquor law, or any law similar
to it in its tendencies as this will
prevent certain unpleasant proceed
ings. SEVERAL CITIZENS"
The explanation of the above is as
follows: The Democrats since the
Mass Temperance Convention, last
Saturday, have become alarmed at the
prospect. Some of their very best
! men have determined to bolt the rum

Denial.

Mr.. Moor, of Moor's Garden, de-
MES, in the Times, that any missiles
were thrown at the meeting on Mon
day night, from his Garden. He is
very indignant, and says "such re-
port is calculated to stain the reputa-
tion Of any man." No doubt of it!
We were on the ground, was struck by
boulder. and have many reasons to
believe it came from said Garden
Had this gentleman of "untrnished
reputation" closed his doors, and
stopped retailing his damnable stuff,
during the time of the meeting, we
might have believed his statement. -
As it is, we shall exercise our pleas
ure about believing him. =

the honest convictions ofhis heart. We
should like to hear the Editor respond
to and refute the following strong po-
sitions in favor of a Prohibitory law
by the Citizsn:
''Then let it be understood as the
supreme law of the matter, that our
States have the power to restrain the
sale Of that which disturbs the public
peace, and invades the public morals
and the public health. These objects
lie at the foundation of social exist
ence. All laws in conflict with this
should be repealed; for the supreme
law is the safety of the citizenl
"0ur Convention is now at work,
framing the Bill of Rights and the Su-
preme law. Now--noW is the mo-
ment for the friends Of reform to be
at work. While the life blood of our
body polite is being renewed, let us
infuse into it these cardinal principles:
"lst; That since the safety, welfare
and health Of the people is the para
mount rule of law, upon which socie-
ty is based; that since government is
the agent of society, upon which is
devolved the duty of guarding its
health, life and safety; and since the
sale Of intoxicating drinks is proved
by reason and experience, subversive
Of the ends of society and govern
ment; therefore
"2d; All sales ofintoxicating liquors
shall be forever barred; and
"3d; An excise on every gallon
manufactured shall be laid sufficient
to stop its distillation.
"Proud state would ours be, if such
was written on our organic law! I'm
changeably written-written high
above the "demagogues' unthinkiDg
rage" and the vascillation of tippling
Legislators!
"Such an article in our constitution,
how would it not affect our interests?
The staple and glory of our State, its
golden grain, instead Of passing into
the accursed vapor and through the
invOlutions of the worm, to be con-
/ densed by the tears of widows and
orphans, how many by it might moi
be blessed? AS a matter of calcula.

More Jail Room Wanted.

The Times, q few days ago, put up
doleful cry about the great increase
in crime in our city-every place Of
confinement was full to overfowing-
old offenders had to be turned loose
on community to make room for new
ones--and suggested the propriety of
the erection Of more Jail edifces.-
The Times is opposed to Prohibito.
ry Liquor Law, and is perfectly con-
Sistent in this suggestion. If the
liquor traffic is continued, as many
more places Of confinement as there
now are, will have to be secured, or
peaceable men and women will not
be safe in walking our streets after
night fall. How much honor would it
reflect on the Times to advocate the
entire prohibition of the known, and
by him admitted, cause of nine-tenths
of all the crime of our city? Rather
than put the county to the cost and
delay of building new Jail edifces, we
suggest the propriety of borrowing a
dozen or so of the empty jails down
in the State of Maine, as they can
find no use for them now
The Times, like all the best friends
Of the 'spure and holy cause of tenn
perance,'' want to doubly confne the
"mischievous critter"-imprison it in
the stomach of his fellow man, and
then lock both up in "durance vile"
We prefer to imprison and destroy
the poisonous drug before it enters the
human system. So does every friend
Of law and order and the suffering
poor of the land. Build more jails
and continue the liquor traffic, and in
crease the present enormous taxes, is
the hobby of the Times. Verify, the
Editor Of the Tines is "jOined to his
| idols" %

Facts and Figures.

E6cCb anu 9AS 1AOs'
We invite the attention of those
who are in doubt how to vote on the
question of liquor prohibition, to the
following statement by Capt Charles
Ross, of the City In6rmary. This is
something more than a mere moral
question Read, and hand it to your
neighbor. The letter was addressed
to a lady, and presented by her to
the Woman's Convention at Dayton,
last week.
0HricE CiTY INEIRMARY,
CINCINNATI, September l9, 1853.
My Dear Sister ;-As you have long and
arduously labOred in the cause Of Temper
ance, deem it my duty as brother to give
you q few statistics Of figures and facts, Of
which you are at liberty, in my name, to
defy the world to controvert.
First, from the year 1874 to the year
1851, il has cost the taxpayers Of this city
1921 ,6l3,e5 TO take care Of the poor. Twill
take the controversy in my feeble hands,
and prove to the entire satisfaction Of an
impartial jury Of twelve men, that IS per
cent. OF the whole tax levied and disbursed
can be charged directly to intoxicating
drinks. If l fail, / will pay the expenses of
investigation.
Second, from about the middle of May,
1852, up to the q tn of March, 1853, relief
has been granted to 1869 paupers, most of
them heads of families. This number in
cludes relief granted at the IDfrmary, at the
Hospitals, and at their homes and burial of
dead. On this will also take the same
contract.
2 Third, We have now in the Infrmary
about 200; in the Commercial Hospital,
Lunatic Asylum and Pest House, about $50
paupers. On these paupers now on hand,
will take the contract as aforesaid, and the
task will be easy. To prove to you that l
know of what am writing, will give you
the nativity of most of the last mentioned !:
1863 paupers relieved, of which 1913 were
of Ireland 722 United States; TAT Ger
many; 80 France; % Scotland; Switzer-
land Wales; Prussia; Italy at sea
3; colored 10; and unknown l&9 Of this
number, 25ll have resided in the city over
one year. Non. residents, or those who
have resided in the city less than one year,
SIS. Not reported, 1888. Are not these
figures voice from the TOmbs
This horrible office now hold, am now
trying to get rid of. Iexpect to resign in a
few days, and on leaving will publicly ex-
press my honest opinion, which is, If the
use Of intoxicating drinks can be done with,
per cent. on the amount now levied and
disbursed will be amply sufficient in this
city for poor purposes, if not an entire GbO-
litiOn Of The aohOIe concern.
am at loss to know how this evil can
be got rid of, or reform effected. HOwev-
er, the object of ySur sex in accomplishing
so noble an act is never questioned. The
objects of men in accomplishing the same
is never questioned by me. So go on; you
are fighting in the noblest of noble causes
You have my test wishes and small purses

influence and vote for better men. It
became evident that something must
be done to keep them in that party, or
thew were lost. To accomplish this,
| it was necessary to make i appear
that Messrs. Thompson and Hendren'
the Democratic nominees, were temper
ance men, and not opposed to laws ior
the suppression of the great evils OF
intemperance. We learn that atleast
one Of them has given some assu-
RANGES of the sort. Mr.. Hendren, IT.
is said, has made such pledges to the
Temperance Democrats that they are
resolved to vote for him for the Leg
islature. We have not learned to what
extent Mr.. Thompson has gone. In
confirmation Of this, we state that on
Wednesday we met Land BW allen
on the sidewalk, when he told us that
| Mr.. Hendren had come out for the
\ Maine law, and that Henry Miller
was entirely satisfied, and was doing
all he could for the Democratic can
didates for Representatives.
The knowledge Of these facts has
come to the ears of the anti-temper-
ance men. They felt that they had
been cheated, and resolved to act at
once. with yigorand decision. Hence,
they prepared the short article we
have copied from the liquor organ.
1t is announced that if these men an
swer that they intend to vote IN tdOor
of some temperance law, then there is
to be new convention, and a new
ticket put in the field. If they de.
cline 10 answer, it is to be taken that
they are pledged to vote in favor of
some temperance law, and a new ticket
is to be presented.
Now comes the cream Of the joke.
The proprietors of the Statesman, see
ing the fix, and knowing that action
either way would be disastrous, deter
mined to take a bold step. They re-
solved to suppress the entire edition
Of the Common Sense that contained
this communication. We learn that
DR.. Johnson, its distinguished editor,
was told that none Of the papers con-
\ tanning it could go out of the Office,
H and that the entire edition must be sup.
/ pressed. DR.. ]. then requested that
II he might have the use of the forms,
SO that he could get his paper printed
/ elsewhere. This was also refused
him. He was completely headed
and, we learn, sent round a notice tha
he would explain the cause of the
non-appearance Of his paper, in the
Fact Of this evening. We presume
that paper will contain the history o
| the difficulty.
Meanwhile. the people will please
leok on, and see how the fight pro
crosses. We have three regular tick
cts in the field. The temperance mer
are also organized. The anti-temper
ance men will have their ticket. W.
supposed Messrs. Thompson and Hen
dren were satisfactory to them, bu
perhaps not. We shall probably hav'
a very interesting time of ito, S

The SAFEST SEAr.-The frequency of
collisions on railroads has raised the
question, which is the place of greatest
security in railroad traine The Rail-
road Journal gives the following as an
answer:
1t is very well known that the car
nearest the engine is exposed to the least
dust, and that the rear car of train is
generally safer than the front car. The
safest is probably the last car but one, in
a train of more than two cars that is,
there are fewer chances of accidents to
this than any other.
lfit is way train at moderate speed,
or any train standing still, collision is
possible from another train in the rear !;
in which case the last car receives the first
shock. Again, an engine and the front
cars of train will often 60 over broken
rail, or a cow, or stone, without derail-
ment, while the last car, having nothing
to draw it into the line of the train, is
free to leave the track. Next to the for
ward car, the rear car is probably the
most unsafe in the train The safest seat
IS probably near the centre of the last
car but one, and in very long train, in
the centres Of the last two or three cars
