The Knox and Lincoln Railroad.

The dispatches indicate that before this
paper reaches our friends in Knox County,
the passenger trains on the new railroad
will have reached Rockland and departed
on their regular trips The event IS one
OF the first Importance to that locality, as
the opening of similar channels of COM
munication have always been in every
section. 1t is to become the great artery
of trade and travel through the large and
wealthy towns which lie along the sea-
board between Rockland and Bath, and to
draw to itself very largely of the business
hitherto of sailing vessels and common
road conveyance. The road will not alb
sorb to itself largely Of this business at
the outset. Such changes are gradual,
but progress with increasing rapidity, as
the superior speed, certainty and comfort
of the transit are approved by experience
Such is the history of similar enterprises
everywhere. Doubtless there are some
thoroughly accustomed to the old ways of
life, and content therein, who fail to per-
ceve the advantages Of the enterprise,
and even predict disaster as the result.
Some apparent disadvantages to those
who are compelled to seek new channels
of business may be perceived But when
the industries and avocations have all adj
iusted themselves to the new order of
things, stimulated by better facilities,
speedier communication and the cmula-
ton which comes of contact with the
world, it is confidently believed that the
communities along the line Of the road
will realize that they have bettered their
condition.
The change could not have been much
longer delayed. Such is the spirit of pro-
gress in lettering the means of commune
cation all over the country in using all
facilities for competition in enterprise,
that the community which neglects to
avail itself of them is inevitably run over
or thrust aside in the race. The time has
come, even in Maine, when no considera-
bic town can afford to be without railroad
communication. 1t will fail to do justice
to itself, its people and its industries, if it
does not use this important agent of de-
velopment to all, when the means lie
within its grasp. And, notwithstanding
the many mistakes made and the high
cost Of the road, it is doubtful whether, in
one year from this time, any resident up
road would desire to have the road blot
ted ont of existence and its cost back in
the purses from which it was drawn.

Still Drifting.

The country, cast away from its old safe
moorings by the radical party, and adrift
on an uncertain voyage ever since it came
into power. still verges towards the
''strong government of 'absolute kings
and emperors. President Grant has re-
Gently, by proclamation, suspended the
privileges Of the writ Of habeas corpus
in nine counties of South Carolina. Troops
are securing that region, arresting VIII ON
soever the commander chooses, without
warrant, without complaint, without pro-
cess of any kind, and the unfortunate
men thus seized are thrust into dungeons
and held subject to!no power save the will
of the military commander and his supe-
riors. How this work is being carried
forward can be learned from our news
columns
We wish that every person in all this
broad land might become acquainted with
the Importance of the habeas corpus, that
great writ Of human freedom, with the
history of its adoption and the long cen
turtles of oppression, resistance and blood
through which its privileges were made
secure to other and more favored coun-
tries. In England to-day it would cost
the sovereign her crown should an attempt
be made to suspend the habeas corpus
! without the sanction of parliament, given
! after investigation of the case in hand
| But the radical Congress gives to mill
| tary executive, by a gross violation OF the
| Constitution and of the traditional right tC
the writ which is as sacred as the Con
stitution itself, the power by q stroke o
his pen to sweep it out of existence tol
the time being, and it may be forever
for these insidious assaults,upon the priv
| leges Of the people, this marching with
| troops and arms and suspended laws to
do work which belongs to a sheriff and
posse, if to anybody, tends to open the
way for still greater violations. Let moi
| the people of the North, who look com
| placently at these scenes while they are
far away, imagine that they may never bt
| touched. The force bill covers the whole
country, and men in Maine may have oc-
casion in the future to weep over that
which delights them now No candid an(
thinking man can review the history OF
the suppression Of inquiry into imprison
ments, without confessing that the act i
an usurpaton. And the Farwell Address
of the Father of His Country enjoins Il
to remember that "usurpation is the custo
mary weapon by which free governments
| are destroyed.'

A Row With the Chinese,

A serious riot took place last week ut
Los Angeles, in California, between the
Chinese and Americans A Chinaman
shot an officer while he was endcavoring
to make an arrest. The mob then attack
ed the Chinese quarter, killing many Of
them and burning their houses. A des-
patch of the 9th says
The latest details of the Los Angeles horror
give worse version of the riot The mob it
appears were actuated solely from animosity to
the race and desire for plumber. The witnesses
before the Coroner's jury were apparently re-
luctant to give testimony, fearing to implicate
two Irishmen who boosted of assisting in kill
ing the Chinese. The Chnaman who shot Off
Ger Bilderain has been turned over TO the au-
thorities by the Chinese themselves. Only four
rioters have been arrested. From $14 900 to
$50 900 and all the valuables belonging to the
Chinese were carried off by the mob and even
those arrested were robbed on their way to
iail.

Letter From Rockport.
Correspondence of the journal.

ROCKPORT, Oct. 30, 1871.
A VESSEL STOLEN AND RECArTURED.
our usually quiet village was thrown into
quite a state of excitement on Friday morning
of last week, the cause of which was the disap-
pearance of the sch. James Warren, owned by
Capt. James Magune.
The Captain left the vessel at nine o'clock the
previous evening properly secured TO the wharf
and the thought could not be entertained that
she had been set adrift by any one except for
the purpose of theft The matter was placed
in the hands of Sheriff Grose, who Immediate
ly chartered the sloop Hayeock, Capt. f. j..
Piper, and with Il sufficient number of aids,
started in pursuit The fog being very thick,
objects could be seen but few feet from the
sloop. They made their way through the Jog
down the harbor as best they could, keeping
good lookout About 3 O'Clock in the afternoon
they discovered sail, and on coming up to her
they found it to be the lost schooner, under sail
Sheriff Crosse ordered her to heave to, which
order was promptly obeyed. The sloop's boat
was sent to board her, and as the thieves found
there was no way of escaping they surrendered
without any words. They were transferred to
the sloop and crew put aboard the schooner
to take her in. Both vessels arrived back at the
landing at 4 o'clock. The parties found on
board the schooner, gave their names as VIM
L. Ireland and John Wesley Giles. From every
appearance both are hardened thieves, hailing
from Newburg, N. Y. They came to this port
in schooner Forrest, having been shipped there
for the voyage by Captain Pendleton. On be-
ing Intercepted they stated that they wanted to
get back to New York, and could sell the vessel
for something. But justice overlook them and
the property is restored to the owner, who, had
not the vessel been retaken, would have lost
his only means of support. They were ar
raigned before Justice Talbot, plead guilty and
were committed to Jail to await trial at the De-
cember term of Court. DATA.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81. The death of

Ii Weakly of Cumberland gets his seat
there will be tic in the Senate If not,
the Democrats will have one majority
Ii special elections in Connell's and Weak
