The GENERAL ORDER BUsINEss.-While
there is SO much printed about the general Or
der business in connection with the Custom
House investigation in New York, the papers
have neglected to explain the system, how it
originated and its purpose. All that is known
is that it is in some way authorized and is con-
nected with the custom houses in the larger
cities. If we get a correct idea of it, it was in
stituted for the purpose of taking care of goods
landed from ships that the owners had entered,
but were not able at the time of landing to care
for. Sometimes ships that were compelled to
sail at an immediate date after arrival put
their cargoes upon the wharves before the du-
ties were paid or could be arranged. The gov
eminent officers, of course, are compelled to
take care of the merchandise until the duties
can be paid. 1t was accordingly arranged to
truck it to store houses, where it could be tenn
porarilly cared for. The truckage and storage
of course were to be paid by the owners among
other charges. The custom house authorities
were authorized in some cases if not in ALL to
make arrangements with suitable owners of
store houses to have them store the goods. The
object of the government order was excellent:
but abuses, it is claimed have grown out of it;
particularly in New York, where the storage
business has fallen into the hands of few
storage but have not located their warehouse
in convenient places thus adding to the cost of
carriage.

The "Ohio law is becoming nearly as popu-
Lar as the old "Maine law for the regulation
OF the liquor traffic. The Ohio law provides
that liquor dealers shall be made responsible
for the injury done by those who are under the
influence of liquor sold by them. The courts
have the power to attach the property of the
liquor dealers for damages to the fullest extent
The law has operated SO favorably that several
western States are discussing the expediency of
adopting it, Illinois and Minnesota will prob
ably try the experiment this winter,

THE INCOME TAx.-The vote of the House
refusing to instruct the ways and means COM
mittee to report as ssoon'as practicable bill
repeating the income tax, was thoroughly
composite affair. Democrats and republicans
high-tariff men and revenue reformers, were in
novel and delightful harmony on both sides of
the question, and many members seemed really
indifferent how they voted. Nearly all of the
New England members and all of those from
Massachusetts, happened, however, to be in
favor of the resolution, and those from the
southern States generally against it. sa -

THE Senate Committee on Senatorial votes
ask for further time to consider the Waldo
county case where no choice is reported bv
the Governor and Council and the con-
tested case in Hancock county. In the for
mer case, Stockton, Freedom, Jackson and a
few other towns gave 279 votes for VIM. H.
Nc Lean instead of VIM. Ell. Nc Lellan, the
regular Democratic candidate. If these are
finally counted against Mr.. Nc Lellan there
is no choice and Mr.. Smart, Republican and
Nc Lellan become the constitutional candi-
dates. It, is stated that a noted Democratic
politician OF Waldo county, the implacable
enemy of Mr.. Lie Lellan, counting upon the
usual custom of the rank and file of that in
telligent party, which is never to read their
ballots even when they are able, had the fc-
titious name of Nc Lean printed in large
number Of ballots and deposited where they
would fall into the hands of the faith
full. He did not count without his
host as will be seen. 1t is further stated, nor
is it denied, that the men who blindly voted
for Mclean thought they were voting for Nc
Lellan or the person nominated by the Coun-
ty Convention whether Mcclellan or Belize
bub. If this is the case, it would seem as
though the question was capable of very
simple solution by giving Mr.. Mcclellan the
seat. To be sure we would prefer to see Mr..
Smart occupy the place at the board, but
there is every indication that a majority, of
the voters of Waldo determined otherwise or
thought they had, and the Republican party
cannot afford to let a Democratic trickster de-
feat the will of the people by defeating anoth-
er Democrat by fraud that should consign
the perpetrator to Thomaston.

DETENTION OF THE EUROPEAN STEAMERS
The European steamers are making long passa
ges this winter, owing to the prevalence of
heavy westerly gales, which for the past month
have been almost continuous and of greater
violence than usual, especially in the track
traversed by the steamers bound to ports in the
United States. The Cunard steamship Algeria
which left Liverpool Dec % for New York, ex-
hausted her stock of coal when fourteen days
out, and was compelled to put into St Johns,
Jan; Z, to obtain supply. The rough weather
on the Atlantic probably accounts for the delay
OF the steamers Tiber and the Concorda, which
sailed In company from Liverpool thirty days
ago for this port. Like the Algeria, their sup
ply OF coal may have given out, in which case
we may soon hear of their touching at some
port to replenish.-Boston Journal
This explains the non-arrival of the North
American, now twenty days from Liverpool
for Portland.

SHIP BUILDING IN THE PRovINCEs.-In 1871
twenty-seven thousand tons of shipping were
built in st. John harbor and its immediate
neighborhood. Of the vessels built, four were
steamers, four were ships, twenty-five were
barks and twenty-five were schooners. Superior
vessels have been built and fully equipped for
sea for thirtX-fve dollars per ton, while many
have been constructed even for twenty-nine dol
lars per ton. The profit of the business has
been so great that extensive preparations are
making for an increase of the business the
present year. The Telegraph publishes list of

The bill to provide pensions for disabled
soldiers has been promptly reported in the
Legislature. 1t was hoped by many that the
existing law might be Invested of some of its
Objectionable features; the most prominent of
which are the conditions under which the APP
plicant for the scanty bounty, must apply.
Would it not be well for the Pension Commit
tee to consider the propriety of paying all en-
listed men who lost limb and were thereby
incapacitated for active labor, 81 per month +?
The State can never be generous to these men
but it can afford to be grateful. 1t is well
known that many of this class are needy, and
are in this condition because incapacitated in
