Concerning Lime.

Without entering upon the tiiefits Of the
controversy which is at present agitating the
lime producing region to the southwark Of
US, or undertaking to decide whether cor
poration can manufacture better article ard
more economically than individuals can, we
are justified we think, in saying that the con-
troyersy has exposed to view some queer
phases of legislation. First, respectable
number ofrespectable gentlemen petitioned to
be incorporated as the Cobb Lime Company.
Notwithstanding Il sharp opposition led by
Mr.. Bliss, they were incorporated 1t is
claimed that they organized under the char
ter Next comes forward a bill to repeal the
charter, on which the ink is scarcely dry, and
it is repealed The Governor has signed both
bills. The gentlemen who were SO suddenly
joined and summarily sundered are probably
sitting on their lime casks whiting sticks.
and wondering whether OF not they have a
corporate existence.
Perhaps the queerest aspect of the case is
the development made during the debate on
the repeal. Mr.. Bird, Of Rockland, charged
on Mr., Bliss, that the latter was not worthy
to touch the hem Of Mayor Kimball's gar
ments,-that official having lobbied for the
incorporation. 1nasmuch as the Washington
representative was not afflicted with the dis
order for which the Scriptural woman had
sought to be healed by stealth, he did not
quite see the fitness of the smile which cave
the official n nnSitiDo fol
retorted that, however the opinion of his OBJ
ponent might be, Mr.. kimball had sought
his room and offered to annoint his palm with
greenbacks as means of sitting his opposi-
ton OF course there was Il sensation in the
General Court. Lime is known to be an
irritating substance. But it was thought that
the manipulation of the Rocl1land member
had Transmitted the commodity into that
viscid. ensnarng substance used by capturers
of sparrows known as Bird-lime, got caught
in it himself, and might soliloquize, like the
King in Hamlet
90 lined soul, that struggling TO be free,
Art more engaged
Next day Mr.. Bird read despatch from
Mayor Kimball utterly denying that he had
endeavored to cut the throat of the opposi-
ton with the edge Of greenback of large
denomination. Thereupon Mr. Bliss arose
and took 4 solemn OATH self-administered,
that the statement was true. Meanwhile the
brethren sat in silent awe, in the presence Of
this new and threatening split in the party
There were some attempts to reconcile the
difference on the ground of mistaken identity !;
Of misapprehendng an invitation to take
something, accompanied by a production of
scrip. for an attempt at bribery, &c, but all
failed. Mr. Birds devotional feelings were

The narrow escape OF Congressman Bowen
from conviction of bigamy creates quite a
sir in the House. and there is q very strong
impression there, as it seems there was on
the minds of the jury, that lie is not only gull
ty of bigamy, but of bribing man to perjurc
himself SO that Bowen might escape punish
ment. There is talk among some members
of the House of an attempt to expel him
from the House, not on the charge of bigamv,
but for things which he admitted during the
trial; but the session is so short that the sub
ject will probably be allowed to pass.

In Michigan, Grand Juries have been
abolished. The law provides that the Dis
trict Attorney shall present all crimes for
trial by indictment, and that no information
shall be presented, except in eases which
have been first examined by Justices of the
Peace. Should the District Attorney decline
to draw ali information. he is directed to re-
port the case with the evidence to the Circuit
Judge. The law further provides for an ar
raignment before the County Judge, 50 that
if the defendant should plead guilty, he may
at once be sentenced, and not be compelled
to lie in jail awaiting the session of the CIR
cult Court. A similar law has been in
troduced into the Wisconsin Legislature.

MonopoIies.

The fayorite method Of raising money by
the absolute rulers of the old world, after
the imprisoning and torture of the Jews went
out of fashion, was by the sale of monopolies.
All the necessities Of life, rs we'll as the
luXuries. have been at times subject to the
operation of patents, torbdding aIy persons
save the purchaser Of the royal right, TO deal
or traffic in the patented articles. The con-
sequence ALWAYS was the swelling of the
rulers revenues. and the still greater enrich
ing of the holder of the right, who always
contrived to get the lions share of the
revenue defraudod from the people The
history Of such monopolies is invariably the
recital of robbery and wrong.
This country was happily exempt from the
operation Of this class of exactions for many
years, The first series Of experiments of the
kind, the tax and stamp acts of the British
parliament, reused the people of the colonies
to 4 frenzy of excitement, which the needless
lack of wisdom in Great Britain suffered to
run its course unalayed. The loss Of its
richest colonies was the consequence. Mo-
llopolN ana lHAtllOn mas SiUmDtrcU since,
until the present radical party, coming into
power, has renewed the foolish, irritating
and antl-Democratic measures of the past.
The monopOlies of to-day, though created by
the same pretence, that of revenue. works
with more pausbility but with all the eff
ficiency Of the old methods
The systems of import tariff and internal
taxation are all operating in the interest of
gigantic monopolies The p reductions of
co al, iron, salt, cloth,-the very necessities
Of existence-are made to bear the heaviest
portions Of these exactions. and to draw from
the pockets of the people the millions which
go to fill the Golfers of those whom govern
ment fayors.
The plan follows exactly that of the old
kinglv monopolies, in giving y small part to
the government, while the great bulk goes
into the Golfers of the holders Of the rova
patent. Take, for instance the single article
OF salt, one of the prime necessities Of life.

Very serious charges have been made
against the management of the Reform
School of this State A member Of the House
said that several boys had actually died of
disorders induced by cold and insufficient
food. He says that the diet of the inmates
consisted of pea coffee and dry bread wi tn
salt for breakfast and supper, beef soup and
the like for dinner Once a week they have
butter on their bread The boys look feeble,
and are not large enough to perform the
labors imposed upon them. 1t is too much
for their endurance when their meagre diet
is considered, he claimed. Seven have died
this winter from consumption, and two more
are dying solely on account of the want of
proper food and water Another member
stated the alleged sutferings of the inmates
on account of cold. To use his own words.
