Gov Hoffman of New York is not a
Pendletonian. In a scent speech he said
There is no way to get out Of debt but
one, either for nations or individuals. A
man cannot pay his debts by giving his
note, nor can any government pay its obi
cations by the issue of irredeemablep aper.
There Is but one standard of value, and
that has been fixed by hecommon consent
of the world, and by that standard must all
debtors ultimately be judged As no quack
remedies can remove deeply seated disea-
ses, so no ingeniously devised financial
schemes can point out any butthe oneway
to pay nations debt"

- Rights OF RAILROAD PAssgNGERs.-The
case Of Judge Goddard Us. The Grand Trunk
Railway Company was decided at Portland
on Tuesday. The facts are thus recorded
by the Portland Arg,ls: ',s'szs - =.
"Judge Goddard purchased ticket to
DanviIle Junction, and started to visit his
family, then residing in Auburn. The af-
ternoon train was very long, and, as usual,
one Jackson was detailed to take the tickets
of passengers leaving the train before the
regular conductor came through. Judge
Goddard, having some business at Falmouth,
stepped out, and upon the request of jack
son handed him his ticket. Upon his re-
turn, Jackson again approached where he
was sitting aud demanded his ticket, and
upon Judge Goddard's replying that he gave
it to, him when he left the car. told the
Judge that he. lied, and falling into an un-
governahle passion, committed an assault
upon him, shaking his fists in his face,
threatening to beat out his brains, and
using the most profane language. He con-
tinued this for some twenty minutes, when
the train approached Cumberland, and he
desisted. For this outrage Judge Goddard
brought an action, and the verdict OF. the
jury, of 1880, will serve as a lesson to
corporations to employ such servants as
will respect the rights of passengers and
will protect them from outrage and personal
abuse.D Er--g .Es2 E+7s&t<T E-I8a

= WEARING AWAY OF THE New JERSEY
-SH ORE The Philadelphia Ledger of
Thursday says :: 30 aa7as IS as.a' ~ sz ~
IS The encroachments of the sea upon the
shore at Atlantic City from Massachusetts,
avenue to the inlet, and particularly in
front Of the lighthouse, has been so great
for a. few years past that, the lighthouse
may soon be in danger, unless some plan is
adopted to protect the shore. Building
lots purchased six or eight years ago in this
vicinity, and from two to three hundred
feet distant from lew-water mark, % well
as the bluff extending in front of the White
House, have been carried away, and the
White House itself had to be removed
about two hundred yards further up Mas
sachusetts avenue, and nearly opposite
Congress Hall, during the present winter.
The citizens Of Atlantic City, feeling that
something should be done to protect their
own as well as the Government property,
extended invitations to members Of the
Lighthouse Board. the Corn Exchange,
Board of Trade of Philadelphia, etc., to
visit the beach and see its present condi-
ton. In accordance with this invitation, o
large number of gentlemen were conveyed
yesterday in special train to that place.
Son the arrival of the party at Atlantic
City they were met by the Mayor and
Council of that city, and by them conducted
along the beach for the purpose of viewing
the changes that had been made by the
heavy seas beating against the yielding
banks of sand. From, those who have re-
sided on the island for number of years,
and also from maps of surveys made, it
was ascertained that when the lighthouse
was built, in 1856, the shore line was about
| 300 feet distant. Little change was noted
for the first two or three years, but since
that time the sea has gradually approached
the building, until 500 feet of the original
land is now covered by water, leaving about
500 feet dry, except at the highest tides,
when the sea washes the fence Immediately
surrounding the lighthouse. The most
popular theory known at Atlantic City for
this encroachment is that the formation Of
bar between the house and the inlet has
turned the current along the shore, and
while sweeping away the beach at the point
named, causes deposits on the shore in front
of the hotels"

large trees should be permitted within the

be grown in the shade. A portion Of the
garden should be set apart for dwarf pears

they will be likely to receive better culture
there than elsewhere.
In the planting of seeds be careful to
have the ground finely pulverized, do not
cover too deep, and plant everything In
straight lines. Hoeing and wedding must
be thoroughly done almost as soon as the
plants arc above ground. Cultivation with
the hoe should commence and be continued
during the growing season. 718 - 'rs'.a
Begin with the weeds as soon as they
show themselves, and it will be easy to keep
them down all summer. If once allowed
to get ahead, they cannot be gotten rid Of
without great labor. ..
Soaking in warm water for twenty-foul
or forty eight hours will hasten the germi
nation and growth of hard and dry seeds.

ON MAYo's -BRIDGE.-It has repeatedly
been urged in the Dispatch the necessity Of
providing some means for the protection Of
persons crossing Mayo's bridge after dark.
The expediency Of such measure was illus

on Saturday night. Mr.. S. P. Weisiger, a
citizen of Manchester, while quietly wend-
ing his way homeward about half-past
O'Clock, was assaulted by some scoundrel a
short distance beyond the toll-gates. He
was struck on the head and seriously hurt

of persons, but the scamp who made the
assault could not be discovered. Anegrc

He was brought to the First station-house
where he was incarcerated to await an
investigation before Mayor Chahoon.
