THE MIME Law.

The latest accounts from Springfield in
reference TO the prohibi.ary liquor law
passed at the recent session Of the legislature,
state that there is no foundation for the ru.
NOR that it had been substantially repealed
by another law, smuggled through in the
"closing SCENES" but quite as effective
quietus, the accounts say, has been given it
by some wretch who has stolen it from the
files in the Secretary's Office, so that no
authentic copy can be found. We could nj.
most hope this is true, Oh account Of the
tremendous impulse in favor Of the enact
ment Of even n)rc stringent law the IN
dignation excited by such an outrage would
create. Let the law passed at the last scs-
sion be defeated by such dastardly act of
its enemies, and our word for it, there will
be TO need Of the next legislature submit
ting il to the people to solve their doubts as
to its popularity. Time-serying dcmagogues
will have no occasion to cast upon the dear
people" responsibility for which their own
nerves arc too feeble. A prohibitory law
that will outMainc Maine itself will be de-
manded in such tones ofthunder as will leave
no room for ambiguity.
The Maine law is one Of the progressive
movements the age, which, however often it
may be cloggcd and baillcd, vil never 70
backward. Out OF the to-. or fifteen states
that have thus Gar given it fair trial,
none has ever repealed it, or slackcncd its
yir"r. Every successive legislature has
only added to its stringency and effective
ness. It has nowhere proved y failure. As
the laws against lotteries, gambling, coun-
terleiting, and every species Of vice and
crime, have only in an immense ratio lessen
ed the commission of the offences they are
directed against, but have not been able to
obiterate them from the criminal calendar;
so the Maine law has everywhere lcsscncd,

NEBuAsKA.--They have hot times in Ne.
braska. The opening of the first legislature
in the territory was signalizcd by general
row, in which if no heads were broken, at
least every rule of dccency and good order
was set at defiance The trouble all around
seems to be in reference to the location of
the Capitol, every squad Of Spectators
wanting it at their own particular town site,
so as to have the benefit Of the increased
value it will give to their paper town lots
1t is to be regretted that acting Governor
Cumming has allowed himself to become in
volved in these paper town speculations,
and has not been over scrupulous from all
accounts, in the use Of his executive power
to influence the location Of the Capital to
promote his own pecuniary interests. Gov
Burt would have been above that.
