THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.

communication from Mr.. James NJ. Smith,
Assistant EditoI of the Free Press and
Temperance Advocate, of Wilmington On.
Co. in advocacy of the adoption of similar
law TO the one in Maine, in this State We
owe an apology to our brother editor for
keeping his communication so long from
! publicity, but our absence from home must
to be more courteous:
The proof sheet of Mr.. Smiths article is
! before us and having read it ovcr carefully
and attcntiN ely, we are at Il loss, the task
being completed, to find in any one pariicu-
lar, where he has shown any benefit to re-
suit from the enactment Of such Il Law in
tL;s State. AS is known 10 our r>adrrs a
Prohibitory Law is in fo &C IN Main (. Mass,-
/ chusctts. In the former State, the accounts
( are very conflicting. as to any beneficial cf-
| feet resulting from the cn"cting Of such .
! Law. Some tell us, the Law cNcrts 4 most
wholesome and beneficial influence, whilst
others say it engendcrs a disposition to lie,
and steel, and moreover iustills into men q
disposition to disregard all law, encourages
men TO drink in secret places. and not only
the sellers, but consumers are sanctionng,
! yea, propagating and encouraging e. spirit
of deception. In Massachusetts. we ale told
there's as much liquor drank as before the en-
actment Of the Law, and what adds to the
criminality, it is done in 4 Gland cstine man
nrr. thereby giving S clon by there own
conduct, and cuconr"gcinS disposition TO
/ deceive.
As We observed, Mr. Smith in his article
, does MT show US 10y actual pr,of. any ben
eticial result to accrue from the cnacting of
such Il law, il would be unnecessary there
fore to make any effort 10 c"nfutc his argu-
mcnts, one or two passages however, in his
article we wish in? very brief MANNER 10
reply TO. Mr. Smith, TO show that such Il
law would propagate the Temperance cause.

! Christian Rclgion--a corrupt and adult,-

The lands denoted for constructing the Hi
nois Central Road, lie mostly within six miles
of the track. The total cost of the roadwill be
twenty millions of dollars, and it is s i'll the
lands will bring sufficient to build it. But
these lands consist of alternate sections, and
those which are left free for private entry are
worth quite as much as those belonging TO the
Company. From which it would appear
that the prospective building of this road has
added to the wealth of the State, IN the op-
probation OF ,c'td lands alone, the sum of for
ty millions Of doHorSi 1t has done more
than that. This new creation of wealth is
confined within strip of country but twelve
miles wide, while the influence of the road
may be said to extend over belt at least for
ty miles in width, so that the entire enhanc-
ement of real estate through this agency, can
not be much if any short Of one kindred 0aa-
hons Of dollars. When the road shall have
been completed; when all these wild lands
shall have been reduced to cultivation; when
dwellings and out-houses shall have been err
ected, and the farms stocked with horses and
cattle, this one hundred millions of dollars
will require multiple to express the actual
of wealth.

MURDERoUs AFFRAY.-On Sunday, f. A.
Andrews and John Slevin had some hard
words, and Andrews knocked Slevin down.
Morris Ducey then made an attack upon An.
drews; the latter drew a butcher knife and
stabbed Dutty in tie side. Shortly after
wards, John, a brother Of Mr.. Ducey, made
his appearance on the street, threatnirg to
ayenge his brother. Mr.. Andrews was point
ed out as the person who had done the deed.
Although the citizens inteiposed, the parties
got togather, and Dpcey received six gashes
from the knife Of Andrews, three of them
penetrating the chest and bowels. John can
live but short time-the recovery of Morris
is doubtful. MFR. Andrews has given bonds
for his appearance at the next term Of the
Circuit Court. 1t is a melancholy affair."
Morris Dacey is widower with a family of
six children John, who cannot survive,
leaves a wife and two children. -SkaliSbgrgh

From which it appears that instead of
showing only one seventh of the total increase
of valuein the State, the twelve railroad coun-
ties actually have over three tourths Of the
entire increase Of g0{ue IN tie WhOte iStGie!
~ ''"ow. not what stronger argument could
DE presented III rs'~ e the ADVANTAGES of rail
roads, SO far as regards their agc"2. :, the
creation of wealth.
We have not similar statistics from the
counties through which the Galena and Chi
Gag, and the Chicago and Rock Island Roads
pass, but familiarity with the country warrants
us in saying that quite as marked resu IS
have followed the building of them. But by
no other one of the Roads now in process of
construction in illinois will the creation OF
wealth be so marked a feature as In the case
OF the Illinois Central and its branches Much
of that Road trayerses the high table
ground nearly midway between the Illinois
and Mississippi on the one hand, and the Wa
bash and Ohio on the other. An immense
portion of this region is so far removed from
the navigable water courses mentioned, as to
render access to market with agricultural
products matter of so much difficulty, that
but very few have heretofore been tempted
by the salubrity of the atmosphere and the
fertility of the SOIL to settle within 1t. Mil
lions OF acres of the public lands have lain
there in market without purchasers since the
organization of the State, and they would
have continued unsold for many years to come
but for the introduction of Railroads. Now
look at some Of the results;

MAINE Law MovEMENTr.- ictipity IN
Ohio--The State Temperance Executive
Committee have. issued a circular to the
friends of the Maine Law in Ohio skiing for
funds to defray tire expenses of a thorough
canvass Of all the counties, if practicable, be-
fore the approaching election in October, to
secure the choice of Maine Law Legislature
by the people. The Committee ask for at
least $4,000 for this purpose, and say that
believing the contest Will demand more OF
the sindws of war, and that the willingness
OF the people will be found to exceed the
hopes of the Commute, the Agent Will en-
deavor to raise twice that amount. An as
sessment Of $4,000 on the counties Of the
State, estimated on the basis Of population,
will be less than one cent to each inhahitant.
