Born SIDES OF THE SroRr.-The free ira d.
ers and the high-tarif men tell good stories
against each other, BY which the public stock
acknowledge will be greatly increased. Hor-
ace Greeley. in his last chapter of political
economy, relates the experience Of DR.. Crosby
of New Haven, an inventor of machinery for
making fish-hooks, who could not get his
hooks well enough made to satisfy the com
mission house in New York, which was sup
plying the market with British fish-hooks
Finally he took down lot himself, which were
as unsatisfactory as before. "They ought to
please you" said the sly doctor, ssf0r they are
your own British hooks, bought at your store,
and packed in my boxes to test you" In re-
turn, the Boeton reform league tells us that
wooden lap-rugs, costing in England ~. 16 in
gold, sell in Boston TOR Sc to 81, or more than
double the English price, because there is q
duty OF LIZ per cent for the benefit of few
manufacturers. Go on, gentlemen. you are

PuFERING FROM STORES. - Merchant -
writes o note to the PRESS Complaining of too
great lenity on the part of Judge Kingsbury in
dealing with q criminal who was recently
caught shoplifting and arraigned before him.
Our correspondent depicts in gloomy colors
the annoyances to which merchants are daily
exposed from persons who enter their stores
for purposes Of plumber. We have no doubt
that Merchant" has abundant reason to
complain of the depredations Of the abandoned
class which he denounces; neither have we any
doubt that in the particular case to which he
refers Judge Kingsbury, taking all the circum-
stances into consideration, was justified in
tempering justice with mercy.

The Argus Of yesterday has an article in
which it recounts the fatality heretofore at
tending Presidents elected by the opponents of
Democracy, and solemnly inquiries sWhat can
the matter be?' which inquiry also constitutes
the caption Of the article in question. 1t is not
strange that the argus affects ignorance and
putt itself in the position of seeker after
knowledge under difficulties. But the Argus
Is not so ignorant as it seems. The fact that
Gen. Harrison lived but few weeks after his
j inauguration was great misfortune to the
= country and the party whose chief be was, but
his untimels death brought no reproach to his
friends and we have never heard IL intimated
(, that that sad event was caused by any Of The
men who supported him for office. Has the
argus never heard that suspicion Of foul play
0 attached to some of those who were opposed to
) him7 Has it never heard that General Tay-
lor's sudden death was considered by thou
! sands as less fatality than the result of
+ . dark and premeditated design to remove an
obstacle in The pathway Of a corrupt and wick
ed politicalorganizationq Whatever the ar
y gus may reply to this. it cannot deny that the
assassin of President Lincoln was Democrat
7 In good and regular standing, who would have
subscribed for the Argus had ne lived in Maine,
and characterized the Black Republicans as
bloodthIrsty mretches engaged in the prosecu-
ton of an unholy and wicked war.
1--WE assure the argus that this fatality of
! whichit speaks, as attending Presidents elected
BY the opponents Of Democracy, is a pretty se-
rious affair, and we should think the least said
Y about It By that party the better.
tWelonce heard Of ayoung man who killed
. his father and mothar, and then claimed the
sympathy of the community, and the compass
sion Of the Judge, because he was an orphan.
1 We supposed the absurdity and impudence of
that appeal could never be equalled, but the
attempt Of Democratic organs to attribute the
death of opposition Presidents to Proyidential
odispensations and mysterious fatalities is in
finitely more ridiculous and wicked, and enti-
tied to no more consideration or respect Let
7, the Argus entitle IFS next article on this sub
ject the Fatality of Democratic Bullets
Nobody will take issue with it then, IL il treats
the subject fairly, as the death of Lincoln and
many thousands of Union soldiers proves con-
clusively that they have been very fatal to
Union men, and If they have not proved fatal
to Union principles, it is only because there
was not enough of them, and from no lack Of
disloyalty on the part Of those who aimed them

PROGRESS OF THE PORTLAND 81 OGDENs-
BURG RAILRoAD.-The Lamoille Necsdealer
OF this week says that the Vermont portion of
this line has been divided into three sections,
to be placed under three different surveying
parties in order to complete the work in the
shortest possible space of time consistent with
thorough and iudicious survey and location.
Proposals for bids for the grading and bridge
building win soon be advertised for.
The sections are, LIST, from the Connecticut
river to Walden heights; I'd, from Walden
heights to Cambridge, and Sd, from Cambridge
to Swanton. As these parties will commence
their work simultaneously, it is expected that
the whole survey will be completed in about
.one-third Of the time which it would take one
party to accomplish the entire work.
