We caution the opponents of Maine liquor
law not to vote for A. s. Cos, who is strong
Maine law man and who will, if elected, vote
to fasten such law upon the people of this
state. Vote for Samuel Bowlss who is q
liberal man, in all respects, and will oppose
any such enactment:
One of the 'siIent issues of the recent
election in IndIana-an issue which the radi-
cal disunionists were careful to keep out of
sight--was the prohibitory of "Maine" liquor
law. The election being over. and the radi-
Gals having maintained their majority in the
state legislature, this issue is now brought
forth, and the radical purpose of enacting tho
obnoxious Maine law next winter is openly
avowed.
As in Indiana, SO everywhere else; the
veal aims which the radical leaders have in
REV are kept in the dark. while the canvass
is conducted upon appeals to the passions
and prejuaices of men against the southern
people. In few localities out of New Eng
land does radicalIsm venture to risk the re-
suit upon the proposition to elevate the south
ern blacks to political equality with the
white race. Tho election over, and 9 rsdi-
cal working majority" secured, this afro
cious scheme will be revived and urged, with
renewed vigor, as the essential condition
precedent" Of a restoration Of the Union
That is the deliberate purpose Of thu radical
leaders there is not the least foundation for 9
reasonable doubt.

the matter you refer to.
In compliance with q verbal request of one
OF your members ] proceed briefly to state
my opinion on the legal question the matter
presents.
has the governor, IN the recess OF the gen
eral assembly, the power to remove the DO
lice commissioner of the city for "oficial mis-
conduct 2" have no doubt that he has
The words of the law are SO plain as to ad-
init OF but one construction. The duties of
the board are prescribed, and to guard q against
failure to perform them "a contingency that
might happen), the law says "for official mis-.
conduct any of the said commissioners NAV
be removed by concurrent vote of the two
houses of the general assembly, or by the
governor during the recess thereof"
This is the My proviso on the subject
The offense guarded against is official mis-
conduct" The penalty for it is not fine and
Imprisonment, but removal from Office alone.
and the authority TO investigate all the facts
and enfore the penalty is, if in session, the
general assembly; if not in session, the gov
srnor. There being now a legislative recess,
the jurisdiction and the power to award the
penalty is in the governor. 1t ls suggested.
/ am told, that before he can remove the com.
missioners the fact of their official misconduct
must be tried by court and jury. This is

ing any jurisdiction ia the case; second hs.
cause the governor, who can alone render the
judgement of removal, has devolved unon
him the entire responsibility, and, that bs.

responsibility be referring it to the courts !;
third, because. he has no right to call upon .
court or jury to assist him. and no one else
has such right; fourth, because, no matter
what court might find to be tho fact, it
could not if found in one way, award the only
penalty that can be rendered, or, If found in
the other, deprive the governor of his power
60 award it, absolve him from the duty of
doing SO; and lastly. because his power, dur

GRAFTON BIZ WENDELL PHILLIPS.

His Objections 70 Impartial Suffrage
Impeachment ana Renewal Of the
Presldent Demanded. fs#
hNEw YORK, Nov. pat a meeting Of
the Pennsylvania Anti-slavery Society, in
Philadelphia, yesterday, Wendell Phillips
delivered an Grafton, Of which the follow
ing is an epitOme:
There Is a great cry Of impartial suf-
frage. have two objections to it. The
granting Of suffrage only to those blacks
who read or who have property is dismiss
ing the question from our political issues.
We lose that advantage and at the same
time add 70 the Union political strength of
the South only a small per centage Of the
negroes. If upon granting impartial suf-
frage, State resumes her sovereignty, 1t
would be for South Carolina to say how
fast her negro population shall learn to
read, shall acquire property or own land.
II, therefore, the Republican programme IS
to content itself with impartial suffrage, 1t
ought to be accompanied by the Federal
Government retaining so much control Of
the separate States as TO insure thorough
exercise of civil rights and the education
of the masses.
As this is not likely to be permitted, it
seems 10 me q much safer and wiser way to
keep the States in their present condition,
during which the Federal Government and
the North have great influence on both OF
these issues-education and the efeetual
security of civil rights.
Congress, therefore, the moment 1t as
sembles, should throw the chat of recon
struction out Of one window and these
swindling amendments cut Of the other,
and commence with the business of the
hour. which is the removal of Southern
rebel from the control of the Executive
Department Of the Government; impeach
the President, and not only impeaeh him,
but. while under trial, let the duties Of his
Office be performed by another hand. Z
"The wisdom of this course is not only
to save us from danger but to let this recon-
struction, by planting the seeds Of the new
social state at the South, commence at once,
and not bedelayed until hefourth of March,
1867: TO let it commence while the Federal
authority can watch and protect it in the
present territories south of Mason and
Dixon's line. The Fortieth Congress
should meet on the fifth day Of March,
1867, and not have It's session delayed until
next December. By their own showing it
is not safe The experience of the last
summer shows that it is not safe TO trust
the President without the check of the
legislative body. Consistency requires that
Congress should 60 further, if they really
distrust, as they assert they do, the inten-
tions of the President"
The address was delivered TO a large =u-
-dience, and ELECTED hearty applause.

YEARS AGO.
BY MARY W. STANLEY GIBSON.

What time of romance-what 70 H.
ish, blessed, happy time it was The
time when, from the window OF the din.
ning-rcOm at Woodstock, | watched the
people going to church of Ia summer Sab
bath morning, and listen to the cackling
hens across the way, who always seemed
to gossip more then than at any other
time When my "Sunday headache"
sometimes proved sufficient excuse, and
| passed the long sunshiny day in my
own room over volume of fairy tales,
duly hidden at the sound of my auut's
step, or in the garden by the water trough
aud the asparagus bed, with my cousin
Laura, who listened to my dreamy talks
about the countries | hoped one day to
visit, and the people thought to see.-
When l went twice each week to the viii
lage dancing school, and formed that
childish attachment whose simple charm
fingers around my pathway to this day,
like breath of perfume from an OPEN
ing rose; when "Walter" was the sweet
est name on earth to me, and he who bore
it monarch in my eyes; when the gifts
he gave me, and the little notes he pen
ned, were religiously treasured, and hid
from the eyes Of my aunt and cousins I;
when | cried because he danced twice
with Jane Woodbury., and making it all
up with him in the cloak loom after
wards, kissed him, and promised to mar.
ry him as soon as | Vas big enough, and
my guardian would let me; when | final
ly copied "Byron's farewell to his wife"
and sent it to him, on the occasion of our
grand final quarrel and separation, and
then forgot him, or said would do so,
and gave my attention to some other boy
ish admirer; when | was scolded for tear
ing my frocks and playing truans from
Miss Roby's school l-(dear, patient Miss
Rachel wonder where she is now }
when | slid down hill on Charley Hutch
inson's sleigh, and pushed Lizzie Billings
from the window Of my guardians barn,
in childish quarrel, to the great risk of
her neck, when | rode winnying Ara
bian at gallop through the village street
with what was called "bind. bride"
on its head, much to the amusement of
the inhabitants and the dismay of my
lady aunt; and when | hung myself by
the neck in frankie Raymond's swing,
and more than half drowned myself in
the "0il Pond, +" and was taken ont both
times for dead; when l use to march up
and down the long garret of my home,
with a carving-knife stuck into the belt
of my apron, and a brass warming-pan
for shield, and went on wilder crusades
than ever Don Quixote dreamed of; when
l singed all the hair from the top of my
head in acting tragedies by lamplight,
and got up at twelve o'clock to wrap a
sheet around me, and firighten my growh
up cousins by waving my hand at their
open door; when | dragged my playmate,
Della, through all manner of repugnant
scenes, and fastened her up in inaccessi-
BILE castles made out Of toilet tables and

OF your neighbor's house and life?
How he lives and how he doesn't,

Whether sorowful or gsy,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the play?
If you wish il l will tell you,-
Let me whisper to you sly,-
If your neighbor is but civil,
1t is not your business rhy.
In short instead of prying
Into other folks affairs,
1fyou do your own but justice,
You will have no time for theirs.
