WHITE THORN rategus COcinea
This common Thorn is some
times known as the Scarlet
Thorl from the fact that its
lruit is of a scarlet color. This
species is quite generally dis
lributed over the United States
and also Canada. 1t is usually
found growing in lands which
are fertile, where it grows to
the height of fifteen 10 twenty
feet. The trunk, branches and
thorns possess a whiIish ap.
pearance, hence the name,
White Thorn. 1t often is met
with beside running streams
and in dense thickets. The
leaves are broadly ovate,
sharply toothed and cut or
somewhat cut,lobed, seven to
nine lobed, Globes shallow,
thin and smOotn; abrupt at the
base, borne on long and slender
petloles. The flowers are OF a
white color, frequently present
ing Il beautiful rosy linge; they
are III paniculate, lateral
corymbs OF about twelve, aad
unfold their Splendor III the
lovely month OF May. The
lruit is quite large, beng about
half an inch broad, OF Il very

of this wholesome alarm in an increased vote at

The Standard complains that the liquor
law is not impartially enforced in this city f;
that some dealers are subjected to its penal
ties and others escape. We venture to take
the responsibility Of stating that if the writer
of the article in the Standard will make COM
plant and furnish proof against dealers 9TH
er than those who have been prosecuted, that
the authorities will attend to their case with
out delay. If he has evidence of the illegal
traffic let him produce it. This would assist
the officers in the discharge Of their duty,
and show sincerity for the enforcement of
the law which might have an excellent effect.
There is full liberty for him to manifest the
largest zeal in the matter. We hope the Off
GERS will find him an efficient co-operator in
the impartial and thorough enforcement of
the law.

$671 ,243 in gold. Small amounts of subscrip-

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, is in

success. The new London firm of Jay Cooke,
McCulloch Co., the European branch of
the great Banking House of Jay Cooke & Co.,
with Hon. Hugh McCulloch, late Secretary
of the Treasury, as principal partner there,
has opened the most commodious and elegant
banking rooms in London; and considering
the short time they have been opened, are do
ing a good business. They are very anxious to
negotiate the new U. S. Loan, and should
they succeed in this as they did in former
National Loans, it would establish great
reputation for them in Europe as they now
enjoy in this country. They are the only
purely American House in London with the
requisite standing, connections and resources

The Democrats are using several of our
wealthy citizens as tools to defeat the nego-
tiation of the Permanent Improvement Bonds
recently authorized by the Territorial Legis-
lature. Injunctions have been issued and
served upon the Governor and other officers,
which has caused the cessation of all work
upon our streets. 1t is feared that this state
of affairs will lead to great trouble as thous-
ands are thrown out Of employment. Cover
nor Cooke says that he could negotiate the
whole loan of $4,000, 900 at par, less q per
cent. commissions to bankers and brokers,
but with this injunction hanging over them
they would not command over so cents on
dollars. Gen. A. Grant, and Messrs. Metz
croft Riggs and Plant, well known rs promi
nent business men here, are the principal
movers in this attack upon the improvement
of the District. Republicans seem to be very
unanimous in favor of the action of the new
Government in authorizing the loan. When
Congress meets they will undoubtedly give
the opposition, who are determined to carry
the matter, if necessary, to the Suprem
Court, slap in the face. Their principal
hobby is that the loan is illegal in that it in
creases the debt of the District above the
amount authorized by the act of Congress es-
tablshing the new Government. They count
in the municipal debts of the cities of Wash
ington and Georgetown as part of the debt
of the District, while the friends of the bill
consider these debts as outside of the District
debt. Both sides have eminent counsel, and
the fight wakes warm. Governor Cooke
threatens to make them responsible for the
loss to the District of 20 cents to the dollar
in the sale of the bonds. Gen. Caleb Gushing
is on the side of the District Government.

We agree with the Portland Press when it
says: ''The people of Maine have heartily
approved of the Scandinavian policy of the
State government, and have cheerfully un-
oer'aken to pay the expenses of the COM
missioner appointed for the purpose of show
ing the Swedes the way here and persuading
the pioneers to start They have also evinced
readiness to pay the expenses incident to
starting the first settlement, preparing homes
for the colonists and helping them through
the first hard year of their residence here
But they are not willing to continue these
subsidies indefinitely, or to assume the bur.
den of supporting many hundreds of the very
best Swedish stock even for short time
The policy of the State has been enlightened
and generous, but it will not become foolishly
prodigal. Enough has been done to accom-
plish what the State intended. The people
are here in sufficient numbers to draw from
their native country hundreds and thousands
of their kindred and friends if Maine provel
to be land suited to their ways of life. The
new empire has been founded; it must now
grow, if at all, from its own inherent vigor."

FEELING At THE SOUTH.

The letter published in these columns
from Captain j. ID, Myrick of Tennessee
has drawn down upon his head the de-
nunciation Of the democratic papers North
and South. The Standard of this city
joins the Avalanche of Memphis in dis
crediting his report of the hostile feeling
existing in the South towards the govern
ment. Whatever the Standard may say
to defame Captain Myrick, will have no
influence here, where he is known as a
man OF respectable character and liberal
culture. and however much the Avalanche
may deny his statements we fear that they
are altogether too true. We sincerely
wish that better state of feeling towards
the government and the North existed in
the.South, but our wishes cannot blind our
eyes to the fact that in all the southern
States the government is hated, northern
men despised. and rebellion nursed in Sc
cret. In some localities where northern
influence through business connections
or larger weight of population prevails,
the hate is kept under control to some ex-
tent. but if the South could have its way
to-day every northern man would be
driven from its limits and the Union be
severed by the line that marked the divi-
sion between loyalty and rebellion in the
war.
The Avalanche may deny this but can
not disproye it. We have plenty of men
amongst us who have tried to make a
home in the South since the war, but were
obliged to abandon the attempt at pecu-
mary sacrifice on account of the hostility
social and political with which they were
received. They were not carpetbaggers
nor paupers, but men OF property and ed
ucation, who had no feeling against the
South, and intended to identify their inter-
ests with those of that section. Some
still remain in places the most favorable to
residence. but upon the whole their testi-
mony agrees with that of Captain Myrick
1t is only day or two since the telegraph
gave an account of an attack without
PAo'oC"eioh upon q - uioi OiuCcT at pup
lie house in South Carolina, where he cas-
ually happened. And at this very time
the government is obtaining authentic evi-
dence from the unwilling disclosures of
southern men OF the existence of a secret
organization, the purpose of which is to
control the next Presidential election in
the southern States by fraud, terrorism
and violence. We repeat that we wish
this were not so, but thus it is, and the
North will accept the actual situation
forced upon them.
No trick of the democracy North or
South. by newspaper articles or new de-
partures, will cheat the republican party.
We know that it is the spirit of the REBEL
ion, kindled into active energy, hoping to
retrieve the shame of defeat in the field
by success at the polls, with which we are
dealing now and shall have to meet in
1872. We shall not be caught mapping.
We know our foe and our danger. The
republican column will stand firm in ~
as it stood in ga or '6S, owing its cohesion
and strength principally to the fell spirit
of the South as witnessed in the persecu-
ton of Union men at the South and the
neiarious doings of the KuKlux organi-
cation.
