The DIFFERENCE.-1he Tennessee
State prison labor has been let to
responsible parties, who agree to pay
annually 100000 into tho Treasury of
the State. The penitentiarics in n
number of the States yield large
revenue, while the "Pennsylvania
plan," as ii is called, costs the State
Treasury $4,000 and each county
from $500 to $1,000; thus compelling
the taxpayers to support our prison
convicts at heavy expense, while in
other States, the same class as they
should, yield large revenue. Some.
body has "fat thing" out of our two
penitentiaries, and will continue to
have while the taxpayers are foolish
enough to keep quiet.

In view of the statement, repeatedly
made, that the Democracy have n slim
chance in the Presidential election OF
1872, it is we'll enough to remember
that in 1887 the Democrats carried
nearly all the States, and at tho Prcsi.
Dental election in 1910 tho Wings
elected General Harrison, by an i'm.
mcnse majority. In lS43 the Demo
Gratis sustained defeat in most of the
States, and in 1914 they elected James
X. Polk. In lS47, the elections were
exceedingly favorable for the Democ.
racy, and in 1S4s, tho Wings elected
Taylor. In 1851, nearly all the elcc.
tions were Whig, and in 1852 Pierce
was nearly unanimously elected Presi.
dent by the Democrats. In 1855, the
Republicans carried nearly all the
Northern States, but in 1856, Blu.
chanan was elected. In 1859 the
Democracy was successful everywhere
and in 1860, Lincoln was elected.
The rule in 1872 will be sure to work.

9 ARREST OF A NoToRIoUs RowDY-Stephen
Rice, Que OF the most notorious rowdies in the
city got into an affray yesterday afternoon on
Fore street, near franklin, ami knocked over
q sailor. Soon afterwards, with one of his
comrades, he engaged in another row on India
street. Officer Cammett went after him and
found him on the latter street. Rice at first
refused to 20 without warrant and attempted
to escape, but Cammett was too quick for him
and grabbed him. Rice then started off with
Mr.. Cammett, but in passing Gormley's shop
on India street wished to go in and get drink.
The officer followed him in. Here Rice met
some dozen or more of bis friends and they
persuaded him not to go with the officer. Cam
NETT got him into the street, the crowd follow
in. Rice then attaked the officer, but Cam
NETT got him down and while in the act of
putting the bracelets on him was attacked by
the crowd, who struck him on the head and
hand severely bruisng him. Rice then seized
the irons and swung them about, making vio-
lent threats against any one who should at
tempt to arrest him.
Officer Cammett called for assistance from
the crowd but they were Rice's friends and
would not help him. Special policeman Miles,
who is stationed at the Grand Trunk depot,
and who is disabled in one arm from a wound
received during the war, came to Cammett's
assistance. Rice hit him with the irons on his
disabled hand breaking three of the fingers,
and then started off down India street through
the Grand Trunk depot.
Deputy Marshal Sterling, who was coming
that way, saw Rice running, and knowing
something was up, gave chase to him. He run
him down and arrested him under car in the
yard of the depot and took him to the lock up.
The fellows head was bruised from the blows
he had received, and he was attended to by DR..
French. sl1i -'
subsequently Deputy Marshal Decelle ar.
rested man named McCarty for resisting Of
fcer Cammett, and officer Black arrested anoth
err for being engaged in the affray.

Mn. CoFFIN's LECTURE. The lecture of Mr.
c. c. Coffin last night at City Hall attracted a
very large and brilliant audience, the larger
proportion of which was composed of ladi. s.
The lecture was an interesting one and delv-
cred in the usual flowing and graceful style OF
the orator. The subject was "The Great Nor. b.
West" and the lecturer had an immense map
hanging against the wall to illustrate the O.
sitions he assumed. The whole scope of Il Q
lecture was to promote emigration to the lane s
on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad,
and to further the interests of that company.
Whether such lecture is calculated to pI o.
mote the interests of this State we very much
DOUBT. Maine cannot afford to spare her sons
and daughters from their native soil. We
want them here, and we have unoecupied
