Boston, September l6-Ex-Mayor. Gas
ton, in letter formally accepting the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor, thus
sllndes to the prOhibitory liquor law: "At
for partial and dishonest enforcement of
some of its laws, it becomes cur immediate
duty to seek to enforce such laws with hon
esty and impartiality or repeal such statutes
as can not'be thus enforced.
."An experience of twenty years under
what are know as prohibitory laws. has
proved that they can not accomplished the
they were enacted. They have not
diminished the evils which they were
designed to destroy, but an attempt to en-
force them brought train of attendant
evils which have disgraced the administra-
ton of Justice and have tended to corrupt
the public morals.
"Some other method of promoting this
cause of Importance should at least be tried
This cause is too high and noble in it's char
acter and in its purpose to attempt to bor-
row any aid from injustice, partiality or
corruption"

Railroad Meeting.

The commissioners of the Calf, Colorado
and Santa fe Railroad Company met yes
terday and adjourned till the seventh dag of
October next.
Dispatches we're .eatI from capitalists
abroad expressing desire to be present
at the organization Of the company. The
restriction on travel prevented several Of
the commissioners from putting in an ap-
pearance, and hence the adjournment.
The prospects Of the road are repre-
sented as dattering in the extreme. Several
gentlemen OF large means were on their
way to Galveston to attend the meeting
held yesterday, but we're deferred by the
reports Of yellow fever, which met them
at st. Louis. The kilograms state that the
gentlemen who have interested themselves
IN this road have means, and expressed their
determination to take stock to the extent
OF million, and say that the road shall be
pushed to a speedy comple5ion.-Galreston

George l.. smith, ESQ.

The people of Shreveport have been
blessed with good and true friend in this
gentleman during their present severe afflic-
tlons. He has exerted himself nobly in
their behalf and done all he could to cause
relief to be forwarded to them and when
he learned that it was proposed to prevent
the steamer Carrie A. Thorn from landing
here he appealed personally to members of
Che Board of Health, to the Police Board
and to the Acting Governor against such a
course. Mr.. Smiths sxertions in this re-
spect have not been made without effect.
We mention this, not because we think he
has done anything more than his duty
under the circumstances, but tor the reason
that we feel it is well 20 let the people of
Shreveport know that they are not without
friends. Mr.. Smith, being a citizen of
Shreveport, has very naturally displayed
commendable sympathy for his fellow citi-
zens in their time of trouble.
