OBSTRUCTION OF LIQUOR BY WOMEN.
The Gloucester Telegraph gives an ac-
count Of some summary proceedings
by a comprny Of ladies in the town of
Rockport, on Tuesday week. It seems
that number of liquor shops have
been opened recently in the place, and
the evils resulting tberefrom have
greatly increased. The ladies resolv.
ed to take the matter into their own
hands, and accordingly organized
themselves into company Of seventy
five. A stought sailor, bearing the
American flag, headed the procession,
and with no other protection, the ladies
paraded through the principal streets,
stopping at the liquor shops and des-
troying all the liquor they could find.
DemUohns and decanters were smash
ed, and barrels Of rum. gin and BRAN
dy were rolled into the streets and
their heads knocked in. Wherever
any Of the vile stuff was found, loud
shouts would resound from the assembl.

The speech Of Hon. John A. Bingham, al
the Republican meeting on Wednesday night
has elected very general comment in our com
munity, as one Of tie ableSt and most elo
quent ever delivered in our midst Tracing
out the progress Of civil and religious liberty,
from the day when Luther nailed his theses to
the monastery door TO the present moment; It wss
a complete and unansWerabls argument in be-
half of the principles Of the Republican party.
and thorough vindication Of the policy Of the
Fathers Of the Republic in reference to the sub
iect Of Slavery. By the fairest exposition Ol
history and by the plAinsst Interpretation o.
the deeds and language Of our forefathers.-
Mr., Bingham demonstrated the correctness o
the Republican Platform; and even those wh,
went to scOff and jeer, confessed the power O
the orator and Of the truths he spoke. Som
Of The passages Of Mr.. BiDgham's speech Q

refused TO comply. stating that the Law AuthOr-
issd no sushpsymsnt The Commissioners re.
nOnstralsd. but the Auditor was inasKibls.-
He turnedtO the "Aet making appropriations for
the Benevolent Institutions aud the State House,
passed Msreh Is. 1885," and fortified himself
BY reading it for thsir sdheatiOp. Alter AP-
oOrtiOning the $4,000 to pay the indebted
oess already incurred, it ssJE
provided, that DO money shall be paid on
account Of any indebtedness contracted for, for
The new stsls-HOuss, or for the LunaIic Asy-
lum a. NeWburgh, or arDAytOu, unless for
wcrk actually done, or for materials actually re
.eived and used, in the construction thsrent"
And little further on il reads-"And Aat all
payments shall be made BY warrants drawn BY
Auditor of State, on the State Treasurer, in
favor Of the person, or persons, to whom such
payments are due, and that the Auditor shall
be satisfied as TO the actual cash value Of The
work done or material delivered before he shall
drawn any such warrant"
We understand the Auditor, 10 order more
fully to satisfy himself Of the intention Of The
Law, held consultation with some Of the mem
bers Of the committee that drew up the appTO-
pratiOn bill, and they assured him that the act
was wOrdsd expressly 10 keep the Commission
ers Of the State House and the Directors Of
the Northern and Southern LunaI ic Asylums
out OF the Treasury.
Upon learning these disagrssabls facts, the
swo Commissioners, Smith and SIickney, foam.
ed with rage. They Instantly sent for butch
er, Mr.. Spencer, Of Franklington, one Of their
political friends, and offered to sell, for the
ready money, the three yoke Of oxen. Mr..
Spencer having just invested large sum in
buying cattle, offered to pay them in claims
gainst the State. the paper being signed BY the
Commissioners themselves. But no. He theH
begged them TO wait until the next day for the
funds. But that wouldn't do,--they must
have the money before two O'CLOCK that day
Mr.. Spencer then went and procured the mon
ey from Q friend, paid the 1915 down for the
cattle, and drove them home, and before he
reached there was offered fifty dollars for his
bargain, which he refused,
This happened on Saturday, the 9Th Of A
pril, The bill appointing new Commissioners
bad passed, but had not yet been signed, and
the Law provided thet the new incumbsnts
should be appointed immediately on its pas
sage. These appointments were made out.
we believe, on the Sth Of April, SO the nscessi'
ty of hasty and prompt action on the part Of
the old Board to get another grab at the Treas.
ury, is apparent.
Now we ask, in al conscience. what right
had MeSsrs. Smith and StiCkney TO sell these
cattle? Who gave them the power To sell the
properly Of the State, and put the proceeds in
their own pockets? And Jet the Statesman ct:
tempts to call of public attention from this dis
graceful act by hOarsely bawlipg, like Join

ing lateral pressure to bury the subter
ranean current. If the reader has ever
stood upon Mississippi sand bar in a
hard rain, or seen water poured from a
bucket on the sand bar, he has seen that
neither can be done in sufficient quaint
ty to produce any current or accumula

limestone stra,as Of Missouri and Ken
tucky, wasting itself through It's own
bottom.
If the Mississippi river had to pursue
its course. like the Ohio, ever rocky

Orleans would reach one hundred feet
above its present limits but running

reaches the ocean than the excess over
the amount that pc:meates the surround

cess Of percolation or transportation IN a
subterranean descent to the ocean. The
river. without anv other restraint from
rock or clay in the bottom or bank. is
