THE MAINE LAW IN MAINE.

The Maine Law party in the State of Maine was
defeated at the election in September last by oosa-
bnatlon Of the Liquor men, the Nebraska Democ-
racy and the Hunker Wings. The Republican
party, having incorporated Prohibition into their
creed, had more votes for their ticket than any
other; but the combined Opposition outnum-
bered them about seven thousand votes. This
Opposition, having control Of both branches of
the Legislature, as well as Of the Execu-
tive, is now compelled to meet the question Of
Prohibition, and to propose substitute for the
wellknown statute on that subject which has given
such wide celebrity to the State. The duty Of pre-
sentiDg this substitute was devolyed upon MIR.
Barnes of the Senate, an old and consistent Wing
and gentleman of ability and character. He has
presented his Report upon the subject, accompa-
MED by bill to take the place Of the existing law.
In bis Report Mr.. Barnes goes over the old ground
90 often trod before him, and in respect of which
it is no especial demerit in him that he has failed
to find anythiDg new. The general proposition ar
eued by Mr.. Barnes is that man may eat and
drink what he likes and that to interfere with his
doing so is to go beyond the true province of gov
eminent, and abridge natural right. Yet, notwith
standing this doctrine is everywhere preached in
the Report, ii is very distinctly denied in the bill,
one clause of which provides that "no person
"sball keep q clearinghouse or tippling-shop
"wthn this State
As a matter of course, contradictions and in.
cOnsistences must be expected in any treatment OF
this question which denies the right in the State
TO prohibit the sale Of intoxicating drinks. This
right resis upon the same basis the right to sup
press gambling houses the sale of Ottery-tickets,
and many other social evils that are far less
baneful either in their immediate effects or re-
moter influences than the occupation of the rum
seller II is impossible for any man, however
great his ingenuity, to maintain show of consist
ency who does not distinctly admit or deny the
right to legislste on the business of rumseling at
all; snd if he admits it he must also admit the
right Of going to the extent of entire prohibition if
the public interest shall seem to require it,
But let no one suppose from the clause we
have quoted that Mr.. Barnes's bill is intended TO
interrupt or abridge the traffic in liquor Not at
all. 1t reopens the business of rum-selling in
full, with all its malignant aud deplOrabe con-
sequences. The clause we have quoted is incor-
porated as a blind and is unworthy of man
protesting frankness and fair dealing. According
to the bill, the municipal authorities may grant
licenses to sell rum in any quantity, large or small
to certain number of persons, every town or plan
tation being entitled to at least one rum-seller
The only restriction proposed by the bill is that the
liquor shall not be drunk on the premises and this

An opening seems to be making for Col. Kinney
TO retrieve the Prestige which the Walker invasion
has done 80 much to destroy. The Colonel was
the leading fllibuster year ago, and the great
mark at which our Government leveled their
shafts last spring. He was pursued, his ships
stopped, his men dispersed, and his prospects Sc
rously injured by the pertinacious hostility oil that
irdefatpable and relentless Official Mr.. District
Attorney McKeon. The valiant Colonel finally got
Of, but was shpwrecked on the way, and at last
landed at Greytown, with his feathers wet and his
hopes clouded. He gradually dwindled and grew
dim. till at length the Walker dynasty arose,
eclipsing him entirely and attracting the exclusive
attention of Gen. Pierce and all fillibusterdom. But
tie finishing blow to his prospects was struck by
his great rival who, in the plentude of dctatoral
power. rejecting his fraternal offers of aid in the
financial art of borrowing money, unceremoniously
elected Kinney from all his possessions, and lett
him naked to his enemies.
Since Walkers still more energetic proceedings
toward the Transit Company, it is loudly whis-
pered that the league Of the four remaining Gen.
trail American States-Of which good deal has
lately been heard ard threatened-will be speedily
contaminated, and the expulsion Of the advcnturer
who has so suddenly assumed supreme power in
those lattudes, will be at once undertaken To CO.
operate with such an expedition is Col. Kinney's
opportunity. If he hesitates, or is not permitted
to embrace it, his star seems likely to set forever
beneath cloud. II he should enter on this new
path of glory, and succeed in ending the career of
his rival and persecutor, the triumph would be q
fitting complement to his own former renOwn as
the prosperous and resistiess Texan Ranger.
The clements of successful demonstration upon
Walker seem to be abundant. The indignant and
outraged Transit Company must be well disposed to
unbutton their purses for the double object Of re-
gaining their lost property and feeding their revenge
at the black ngratitude Of their protege, who has
so laithlessly kicked away the ladder by which he
climbed to power. If the expedition we propose
should only be we'll planned we do not see but the
fllbuster spirit that casts such longing glances
upon the tropical regions of our continent, will
have fair chance to consume itself by feeding upon
its own yitals Let the leading flbusters be
pited against each other and fight for the coveted
land until they and their followers are exhausted.
1t is not to be expected that we should feel any
special interest in the result of the scrmmage that
may ensue between Walker and Kinney or Walker
and Carrera in Nicaragua; but We shall not repine
if the four great powers of that region, aided BY
Col Kinney, shall make an end Of the new Dictator
ship and the Transit Company be placed in quiet
possession of their property and the route they have
established. Such result would convey deeper
moral perhaps than any other solution Of the
existing difficulties.

verdict very apparent by the result of the voting

less than three hundred thousand, their interiors

civilization. 10 make their laws, regulate their

and claim the entire domain as their farm or their
huntinc.ground, and ell by virtue OF their owner

nobody TO blame for such state o. things so much

hideous ihs on the soil Of Kansas, after it had once

fondly believed them to be forever excluded That
is the question for the free people of the North to
answer in Kansas. Let them be there in numbers
sufficient to answer it decisiyely!

FROM WASHINGTON.
TUESDAYS KANSAS DEBATE-CLOS-
ING UP.


gli.ori, Correspondence Of Ths N. T. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March iS, 1856.
Ex-Gov. W. SMITH Of Va. opened the debate
to day in speech distinguished among many rivals
for eminent audscity of logic and defiance Of noto-
rious facts. For instance: he argued that Gen.
Whitfield must have been legally elected and the
Border Ruffan Legislature rightfully constituted,
because Whitfield had au overwhelming majority at
his previous election (in Nov. 54) to the last Con-
press, and nobody pretended that Missourians ~ent
orer and ro,ed illegally in Kansas at THAT election
Hereupon Mr.. /. WAsHBURN called his attention
to The Congressional Globe Of last year. where, in
ts record of the debate in the House. Dec. l3, "a,
il appears that ,eas asserted that W hitfeds first
election two or three weeks before) was effected
by fraud, and Major OLIVER, though he discussed
the matter in opposition to Mr.. W., did not venture
directly to deny that such frauds had been COM
mitted. He only professed to have no personal
knowledge of such. Smith proceeded to assume
that the votes returned to j. A. Wakefield in
that last years election were intended for
J. ". Whitfield, when in fact Wakefield was
the candidate Of the most decided Anti
Slavery men who would not vote for K. r tlenen-
ken, the Free State Candidate, because they lacked
confidence in his Anti-Slavery position. Nearly all
Wakefeld's votes were cast in Laurence. But it
is idle to proceed with these exposures Of Smiths
ignorance or hardihOod. Whoever will consult
The Whg Almanac for 1855 (p. GAY will there find
the returns of that first Whitfield election, printed
fourteen months ago, showing fraud in the details,
and closing with the following comment:
"Whil field is Pro Slavery man, and rds elected by
roH-resident Missonrians."
With this exposure, I shall let Extra Billy
slide.
The shortest and most pithy speech Of the DAY
was Gen. GRANGER's. Its delivery did not OCCUPY
over ten minutes, but it went right to the core OF
the matter. It might have been more polished,

ousnty that the purchaser chooses OF the licensed
dealer, and drink 1t when it suits his or her plea
ure. TIE sale of ardent spirits is thus 20 be re-
opened, without sny real impeachment should Mr.
Bsrnes's bill become law. Whether it can be
eppineered through the Legislature remains to be
SEEN We suppose, however, that it will be sc-
complished.
The task of finding an adequate substitute
for a statute which has accomplished the good
which the Maine law has done for that State
will be found extremely difficult. Ii the ques-
ton Of Prohibition could be voted upon dis
tinct from all political issues there is no doubt
that the people of Maine would uphold the prin-
ciple by an immense majority But it IL not q
wonder that the party in opposition triumphed.
The friends Of the old and thorough Prohibtory
statute were ardent and Jealous to reach perfection
in their work 1t is not surprising that they made
some mistakes, and were guilty of some impru-
dence. They were pioneers in new field, where
they had not the light Of previous experience.
Their law was an experiment 1t is to be recorded
TO their everlasting honor, and the honor Of
the people of Maine, that they had made good
law, thorough law, and that that law was every
where sustained by the popular voice and every
where enforced. II was in acting upon the belief
that no additional restriction which could be devised
would be too stringent to receive the popular ap-
probation that the mistake was made Of incorpo-
rating provisions Of undue severity, which have re-
suited in the present apparent minority of the
friends of Temperance in the Legislature. We are
confident that the reverse suffered by the Prohib
tionists ia but temporary, and that the principle of
the original Maine Law will be upheld in that
State, and at no distant day be fully reesablished
beyond the power of any party or combination to
overthrow it. The gratifying results of the operation
of the law, the almost universal satisfaction e1-
pressed at its working among all classes during its
continuance, the perfect and willing obedience to
its provisions everywhere manifested, and the
earnest alacrity with which the thrifty and indus:r-
GUS classes rallied to It's support, all afford sure
ground for the belief that the business Of liquor
selling can never again, except for very brief pc
riod be revived or flourish in Maine.

Our Cattle Market report shows some very curl
ous results this week. For instance, $500 more
beeves we're received in the city the last week than
In the one previous; and 1928 more in the yards
at Forty fourth street yesterday, than we're offered
at the same place the Wednesday before. The ef-
feet of this large influx may be easily conceived;
prices were reduced full and average of two cents
o pound, making difference of $50 head upon
some large bullocks, and difference Of $40 a
head upon whole droves; and even at this great
reduction of prices, buyers were not found for near
all the cattle in market. The lowest estimate for
the number left over was 600. Besides this, several
large droves are reported within reach of the city,
which, with others designed for next weeks mar
ket, will probably prevent prices from again be-
coming quite SO inflated as they have been for
some time past. The losses yesterday to drovers
must have been very severe. We heard Of sales at
less than Ohio prices of course sinking all the e1-
peDses of transportation. We hope butchers will
not ignore the fact of this decline of prices at Bulls
Head

The friends Of Freedom in Kansas have new
cause for rejoicing in the auspicous result of the
voting in the House Of Representatives yesterday
on the proposition to investigate the Kansas cleo
ton. The proposition of Mr. Dunn to send three
members of the House to Kansas was adopted by a
decisive majority. This is even more than the ma
jority of the Committee on Elections proposed 1t
