sce, m reinsioh 10 tno PRETENDED mexican
claims OF George A. Gardiner and John
H. Mears, by which they obtained Half a
Million Dollars from the U S. Treasury.
The whole thing was evidently a fraud

and upon its exposure the principal archi-

escape was made. As train was coming

ly that the speed could not be checked
the engine, tender and baggage car sur
mounted the obstacle, but a passenger car
was detached, thrown down the bank and,

side up in three or four feet of water.
There were about 80 passengers aboard,
not one Of whom was seriously injured!

Later from Kansas.

A private letter Of Springfield emf
grant to Kansas, dated at Lawrence, July
ii, gives report from Pawnee, that the
Territorial Legislature, before adjourning
to the Shawnee Mission, excluded the
eight Free State members chosen at the
second election, leaving only two Anti
Slavery members to fight the battles of
Freedom. The House of Representatives
passed the whole Missouri code of laws at
jump. 1t was also reported that Cover
nor Reeder had resolved to repudiate the
Legislature, since its exclusion of the only
members who had any legal claim to their
seats, and no longer to recognize it as the
Legislature Of Kansas, but to treat it in
its true character, as the organized repre-
sentatives of the Missouri mob
The free settlers in Kansas are unani-
nous in their determination to repudiate
the acts of the fraudulent Legislature and
meet the consequences, whatever they may
be. There is growing conviction among
them that they must either fight for their
rights to the soil and to the common pri.
vileges Of American citizens, or surrender
everything to the Missouri rufians.

ADVANCE PAYMENT FOR PAPERS.
No subscriber worth retaining, will object
to the pay-in-advance system. Those who
wanted to hear Jenny Lind sing, had to
pay in advance and what where her d.
vinest strains compared with those which
flow from the editorial pens2 You can't
take your seat in rickety mail-coach, or
fy-from-the-track railroad car, without
paying in advance for the risk of being
killed. If you would hear a concert, or
literary lecture, or see Tom Thumb or the
Siamese Twins, you must plank down your
twenty five, or fifty, or one hundred cents,
before you pass the threshold. Nay, if
any one has SO little regard for his own
character as to want to read Barnum's
Autobiography, he must pay for it. And
yet men hesitate and cavil about paving
for paper furnished at a price on the
very brink and utmost verge of prime
cost.

Maine Law In York State.

So far as We can learn, the Maine Law
is working admirably in this region. There
is ready, if not a willing acquiesceucc in
the provisions of the Law by Hotel or Shop
keepers throughout the county. Some, it
is true, complain of the stringent provi-
sions of the act, but all have thus far ma
infested disposition to obey the law 30
long as it shall remain upon the statute
book. Some talk Of "repeal" while others
hope the courts will declare the law un-
constitutional, but all seem disposed, for
the present, like genuine philosophers, to
take things as they are, and obey the law
a. it is. Some Of our hotel keepers who
have violently opposed the law and thought
it would ruin their business, are more
than half pleased with its workings, and
admit that on the whole the thing operates
much better than they expected.
We have as yet, heard of no violations,
and consequently ofno prosecutions, under
the law, Notwithstanding Carson League
men have been on a pretty sharp lookout;
and no arrests for drunkenness have come
to our knowledge, with the exception Of one
made at Corning, on the 5th.
Whatever may be its effects in some of
our populous towns and cities, the Maine
Law in ''the rural districts" is working
we'll, and is daily gaining friends. Even
those who have heretofore opposed seen in
clined to give it fair trial, and if it works
well will soon be numbered among its ad-
vocates.
We are aware that once powerful po-
litical faction in this state are endeavoring
to render the law unpopular, in the hope
of riding into power on the cry of"repeal;"
but that game will not work, and the
sooner they abandon it the better. The
Maine Law is now much stronger, parti-
cularly in the rural districts, than it was
two weeks ago, and will be much stronger
at the polls at the next election than it
was at the last. Office seekers and politi-
clans who hope to ride into power upon
the cry Of repeal will find in the end, that
they have backed sorry nag. 1t would
be we'll for them to save what little repu-
tation they have left by abandoning the
idea of winning at SO unpromising game.
