The MAINE Law IN MrssouRI.--At a
convention of the Marion County Temper
ance Society, held at Palmyra, on the Sd in
ST., resolutions were passed, urging the or
ganization Of similar Societies in every
county in the State. The principle OF the
Maine Law was endorsed in the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That all laws permitting the
sale of intoxicating drinks, except for medi-
cinal and mechanical purposes, is now con-
sidered pre-eminently the scourge of the
world, without one redeeming qualification
and should at once be repealed, and driven
from the statute books.
Resolved, That the friends of Temperance
should make no compromise ask for nj
modification in the present license law, bu
demand at the hands of our Legislators, the
adoption of the Maine Liquor Law, or thu
entire prohibition of the sale of intoxicating
drinks as beverage.

Executed.

Augustus o. Jennings, convicted of the
murder of Willard, was executed at St..
Joseph, on the I'd. The Gazette says.
"Jennings has made a full confession of
the whole affair, in which he acknowledges
his own guilt, the justice of his sentence,
his participation in the whipping, and what
part the others took In his confession, we
understand, there are many extenuating cir
cumstances in favor of Jones, who stands
charged with the same offence. We learn
the CONFESSIONS soon to be published, and
the proceeds to go to Jennings wife.
For several days previous to his execu-
ton, Jennings exhibited great contrition
and deep penitence. He was visited ia
prison often by the Rev.. Messrs. Boyakir
and Vandeventer, who counselled, advised
and prayed with him and for him. 1t had
the desired effect, by bringing him to reflec
upon his condition, that soon he was TO try
the realities of another world, and if UMPIRE
pared, it wa. awful indeed. During the pro-
crastination of these visits, he gave vent Il
his feelings, in the deepest humility, and ex
pressed himself perfectly reoonciled to hi
fate, which he exhibitedin his last moments
as we are told, in the highest degree.
An immense crowd of persons was at.
tracted hither by curiosity or otherwise, es
timated by many, at six thousand persons
men, women and children, to witness tn
execution. We were not among the mum

Oh! What a time there will be.

We read in the Scriptures, that sit is APP
pointed unto man once TO debut after
death cometh the judgment" Death is a
serious thing, and it is the fear of judgment
that makes it serious. A certain Fox died
during dog-days, but we are told he is not
SO dead but that he will appear in the Judg-
ment Halls next year. He will appear
with knife firmly clenched in his fist,
with the point of which he will be feeling
for the bowels of Benton men. Abner
Gilstrup is the prophet, and fOretells events
as follows:
Defeated by the hands of 1nercenary trail
tors, henceforth let us hear no more croak
ing about the majority rule from them. G.
+. Jackson is not so dead, but that he may
be at the great Judgment Hall in 1854, tc
do execution upon the enemies of the De-
mocracy. War has been forced to the knife
and the knife to the hilt--the hilt will be in
his hand, and woe be TO the vitals Of ali
mercenary traitors. In that day there will
be many pale and CHASTITY corpses, whose
last prayer will be "Oh! that we had sen
that Fox to Congress, then might we have
escaped this DEATH"

NORTH Missouri RAILRoAD.-The Di-
rectors held meeting in st. Louis, last
Monday week, and located the Road from
st. Louis to st. Charles. The Board agreed
to the following route, viz: commencing at
the corner of Anglerodt and Second streets,
in Bremen, and running westwardly to He
bert's Creek; thence running westwardly,
and ascending Hebert's creek to the head
and falling into the valley of the Maline
Creek; thence keeping on said westwardly
course, and passing south Of the house Of
Thos. January and Richard Graham, and
descending to the Missouri Bottom, at OF
near DR.. Bonfils house; thence crossing said
Bottom to point on the Missouri river op.
posite St. Charles, about a mile below the
present Ferry Landing.

Immediately, and we may confidently look
forward toits completion 10 St. Charles on
or before the fourth day of July next.
The road, it will be seen, is not, by this

$l700 90


Total amount Of expenses seventeen hun
dred dollars per annum, or about five dol
lars per day. (The above estimate is made
with the supposition that the toll collector
would follow some other occupation, SO that
the $40 per month would fully compensate
him to keep the gate.) Now let us take
seventeen hundred dollars ordinary expen-
SEES and five thousand four hundred dollars
interest out of the gross receipts as above,
and it will leave eight thousand nine hnn-
dred and ninety-sir dollars and fifty cents of
balance 10 be divided amongst the stock
holders yearly, over and above the interest.
Or supposing that four thousand dollars of
the above amount was used as a sinking
fund, and loaned out at interest, it would
be sufficient TO replank the road every eight
years. There would still be dividend of
over twelve per cent. per annum to divide
amongst the stockholders.
Some may conclude that have given the
bright side of the picture, but if they make
calculation of the amount of each staple
that must pass over the road, they will find

raj advantages that this does. am satisfied

ell will seek some other direction. 1t may
be well for the directors to look well tc
these matters at the onset; the first steT

have heard it said that the North Missouri
Rail Road would be an injury to the Glas.
gov and Huntsville Plank Road. Suppos
ing that the rail road would carry off par
of the Huntsville produce, will it not in

balance the loss Of small amount it will
carry offP But suppose, for argument,
takes all the produce within eight miles O
Huntsville, Con the plank read, and leay
only the neighbOrhood and light travel,

"III. The Secretary of War having de-
cided that all orders hereafter given for
discharge from the service of the United
States on occount of minority, shall be made
subject to the condition that no controlling
impediment exists" The following instruc-
tons are given for the government of the
commanding officers to whom the order of
discharge is sent:
If the minor be deserter at large; if he
had deserted during his enlistment, and has
been conditionally pardoned; if he is under
charges for desertion, or any other serious
military offence, and the ends of justice are
likely to be defeated by his discharge; or il
he has attained his majority before the re,
ceipt of the order, and is unwilling to be
discharged, the controlling impeachment
contemplated by the Secretary of War, vii

REpoRr IN PARLIAMENT ON THE CUBAN
SLAVE TrApE.-The important report re-
Gently laid before the English House of
Commons, by special committee on slave
ry and the slave trade, alleges that the fact
is notorious that slave-trading vessels are
fitted out in Cuba under the guns of the
Spanish men-of-war; that great facilities are
afforded 10 the importation of negroes; that,
when once landed, they are called natives
and all attempts to trace and liberate them
are commonly defeated; and these abuses
have increased precisely in proportion to the
brides accepted by the Cuban Government.
Up to 1910 the Captain-General received
half dollar for every slave imported; but
Gen. O'Donnell, in 1912, succeeded in rails
ing this fee to three doubloons head, and,
with the exception of Concha, who refused
the bride, the same blood-money has since
been levied by every Governor of the is
land. Nor does the crime stop here. The
interests involved in this trade are mainly
those of high and mighty personages al
Madrid, who have power to obtain the re-
call of any honest officer, and who contrive
to keep up all the horrors of this system tc
crafty their own avarice at the expense o
humanity and Of the national interest.
Commenting upon this report, the Lon
don Times discourages the folly of protect
ing Spain any longer IN the enjoyment o
her slave trade, and partially recommend
that she be handed over to the tender mer
cies of the American fllibusters.
