Our dispatches this morning still indicate
that no efficient measures have been adopted
for the suppression of the riots at Belfast
The indignation of the working classes has
only succeeded in urging the magistrates to
petition the Lord Lieutenant to place the city
under martial law. But though the authorities
are incompetent, the riots may have expended
their force. A small ray of hope is furnished
by the announcement that it was thought yes
terday morning they were at an end. How
ever. the magistrates have so signally failed
TO display energy enough forR the occasion,
that we are inclined 10 doubt that the dis

THE WATERVILLE CIDER CASE. Ez
If not Robbery, What is It.?

ALBION, July 81, 1872.
The parties who lost their cider at
Waterville were Danville d. Andrews
and George w. Stratton. They both rails
ed the apples and made the cider them
selves. Andrews was to the expense of
building a mill last season to make his
cider He has a wife and three children,
and is in debt mostly for his farm He
was formerly a Grant man, but is now q
Greeley man. Stratton is q Democrat
Andrews took to Waterville about AZ
gallons in two casks. and Il young man to
assist in selling. Deputy Sheriff Charles
McFadden came to him and ordered him
of with his cider or he should seize it.
Andrews told him he had n right to sell
il, and should. The Sheriff went away
and got man by the name of Dow, and
they took it from him, carried it to Nc
Fadden's store, and then attempted to
take him and put him in the clock up"
but being stout, smart man, he shook
them loft from him, andEhe told them he
should do so again unless they showed
their authority.
Mr.. Andrews applied for advice to re-
publican lawyer Of the town, who declin-
ed to give any. After haying, he is going
TO an eminent lawyer, and try whether
there is any way in which he can get
Justice. Mr.. Stratton has II wife and one
child, and is "A quiet and much esteemed
citizen.
There, farmers of Maine. that is the
way your property and rights are tritied
with and trampled upon by the radical
party. These men are robbed of their
hard-earned property, in direct violation
of the law which allows them to sell the
cider they have manufactured, and have
no redress except to enter upon an eN-
pensive law suit, against men who can
draw upon the State Treasury for ex-

The Fraud on Farmers

The Portland Transcript comes to the
rescue Of the foolish cider enactment. 1t
says
The Belfast Journal tries to work upoi. the
feelings of the anti-cnler law farmers hy wood
cut OF I'm honest citizen harvesting his apple
crop with Il cider press in the fore ground.
No one would Judge from its comments that the
liquor law, rs it stands, gives the poor farmer Il
complete monopoly of the cider business, and
by IT'S exception IN favor of the manufacturer
opens better market tor the juice OF his apples
than he could otherwise hope for. We know
Of no greater incentive to cider making by UNI
srrupulouS farmers, who have no care for the
pubic welfare so long Is they ill their own
pockets, than the provisions OF the present
Name liquor law. with its exceptions in favor
OF cider-manutacturers.
The transcripts position is a singular
one. The Maine law declares thai cider
shall be considered intoXicating,' and the
Transcript insists that the provisions of
the law open 4 better market for it 1t is
an example of the way IN which they be-
come entangled in absurdites and contra
dictions who seek TO defend such nonsense
II admits of no rational defense
A little consideration of the matter will
show that our contemporary is entirely
wrong in The assumption that the maker
of cider derives an advantage from the
provision of the present law. The manu-
tacturer is permitted to sell the cider he
has made, but no one who buys it shall
sell again, Now suppose the same pro
vision to be applied TO potatoes, and what
would be the effect The farmer could
not, us now, store his potatoes, and sell
them all together, To Il wholesale dealer,
on the highest nalkct-for no one would
buy potatoes by the load which he could
not sell again. The farmer would simply
have to pedde his potatoes from door to
door. 1t would be a gross and foolish
violation ofthe laws of trade which should
govern traffic in all productions that are
not dangerous. 1t is precisely the same
with cider, which is wholesome article OF
diet, and a large item of farm production.
The present law imposes Il needless and
hurtlul restraint upon the business, which
must affect the producers income. The
coming autumn will make this manifest
to every orchardist.

The Mean Acts of a Mean Admnistra-
tim

On Friday last person protesting 10
be IN United States Marshal appeared in
this city, and proceeded to call on the
dealers in liquors, ales, beer, &c., or a
portion OF them, and to demand from each
the penalty of doing business without a
government license About u dozen each
were thus interviewed, and about 1925
demanded in each case. Most of them
paid, and the ready cash realized is said
to have been in the nci9hDorhood Of one
thousand dollars. Accompanying the mar
shall We're n couple of spies or informers,
engaged in this cheap business for what
they can make as their share of the penal
ties. These fellows We're recognized as
having been here about ten days previous
ly, soliciting drinks at each place where
they thought it could be had The means
which they resorted to in order to entrap
their victims, was in most instances to
plead sickness and need of the liquors
Mr. Cross, who keeps a saloon near the
Court House, gives us the following &C
count Of his experience
The informer, who had dirty and I'M
shaven look, came into his place, Stain g
that he was going to work in the shoe
factory, and needed a boarding place
Mr.. Cross said he could furnish meals,
but not room. After having talked a
while, the spy said he had u pain in his
stomach, and would like glass of liquor.
He was told that none was kept on the
premises. He then asked for ale or beer
Mr.. Cross then told him that he had some
lager for his own use, and would give
him a glass, which he did. After drink
ing, the fellow asked for the full name of
the proprietor, threw down ten cent
scrip and rapidly left.
This is substantially the history OF every
other case in which they made demands
for money.
Upon this miserable pretext, they sought
to draw upon this man for a sum of money
which he declined to pay We under
stand that his case is abandoned. But
nearly all others, including the hotel
keepers, are victimized. What miserable
business this is, for the enlightened gov
eminent of great country! To send its
spies and solicit men to break the law
that they may have ground for prosecu-

before the present party came into power,
that officials would not have dared to take

The Boston Posts Washington despatch
gives Il most glowing account OF the pro-
gress of the Reform movement all over
the country. Startling events are about
to transpire in Massachusetts. Says the
despatch.
For some days past there has been
outgivings in the newspapers that promi-
nent influential Massachusetts Republican
politicians would come out in Il pronounce
ed manner in favor OF Greeley and Brown
And curiosity has been much exercised to
fix these prominent Republicans and name
them, if possible. Otcourse Senator Sum
ner was always named among them, and
there are Gen. Banks, Mr.. Buflinton, Mr..
Hooper, Mr.. Dawes and others. 1t has
been well known by some who are con
versant with the private sentiments of
leading Republicans in Massachusetts that
they We're utterly disguised with Grant,
and only awaited the ground swell of rev
dictionary political manifestation that
would assure even the probable success of
the Greeley movement to warrant these
independent spirits in coming out in an
unmistakable form for Greeley and Brown
Certain events that will most assuredly
eliminate in success, your correspondent
is advised, will determine the action of
these parties in a few days Not to dis
close confidential information we can say
that five members of the Massachusetts
Congressional delegation are already pre-
pared, SO far as their own motion is con-
cerned, to pronounce openly in favor of
Greeley and Brown. and are now anx-
iousy awaiting-to make their action sue

colored people of the country. 1t is too
