Every cripple, sore-legged drunkard, and

EE 1t is said that the system of rail-
roads is so complete in the State of Indi-
ana that every county in the State can be
reached in railroad car and that residents
ofany county in the State can visit Indian
apolis, remain there several hours, and re-
turn home the same day. Kentucky was
one of the States OF theUnion when Indiana
was an unbroken wilderness; and from
some of the more remote counties of the
former journey to the capital and back
will take almost month of laborious and
expensive travel. What it the reason for
such difference in The enterprise and pros
perity of two States only separated by a
small stream of water s-Maysville Eagle.
Why, the reason is this: Kentucky de-
pends upon her niggers to attend to mat
ters; while Indiana is a commonwealth of
freemen, each of whom is committee of
one upon railroads and other matters of
interest to the State.-Ports. Tribune.

TwENTY-sEvEN LIQUOR SELLERS CAR
TED TO THE HOUSE OF CoRREcT1oN.-The
Court of Common Pleas for Essex County
which has recently closed its sessions in
Newburyport, has, by its conviction of liqu-
.or-sellers, produced considerable stir among
tbe dealers in the ardent There were
twenty-seven convictions for liquor-selling,
and if we may judge by the accounts
which have reached us through The NeW-
5uryport Herald, the District-Attorney
has been very impartial in the prosecutions.
Some of the parties were young men, some
women, and some of them old men,
One man was worth froms25, 900 to $780,
900. The whole twenty-seven were carted
to the House of Correction at one time, to
be locked up with felons and prostitutes.
A conviction was obtained in one case
which is of considerable interest to owners
of real estate. This was under section
of the law which provides that buildings
used for the illegal sale of intoxicating liqu-
ors shall be deemed common nuisances,
thus placing them in the same category
with houses of gaming and prostitution
The person keeping such place is liable
to fine and imprisonment, and the propri-
etor of the building is also liable to fine
of not more than $1,000 and Imprisonment
of not more than six months. While the
iiquor-sellers are terrified al this action of
The Court, there is another class of persons
who are rejoicing in the hope that their
household will be made happy and comfort
able by removeing the temptation from
their friends who have been rapidly de-
scending to drunkard's grave.
