} ACxxrIFrcATE OF CHARACrER.-One Josephus
HIT publishes q certificate of character in the
Last Repvblioaa. from Constable Cochran. A GER
ti6eate of character from Constable is rather
an eouivocal compliment; bat from this partic-
ular Constable, il is unusually rich. Mr.. Cochran
has always been an outspoken Democrat, with
out any disguise. The pathetic story of bow UT
urged this Democrat TO stick to the Republican
ticket, and not bolt on personal grounds, is lit
tie too thin, even for this warm weather. There
are hundreds of men in the County, who know
how deep Utts Republcanism runs They re-
member when he was . candidate on the Pro-
slavery ticket, against Republican nominee.
WHY. the first time We ever saw him, he was es-
cortiue Border Rufian candidate for Sheriff,
and using his "infuenee" in his favor.
It ia notorious to every body in aud out of
White Cloud, that this Utt's hatred Of us 10 SO
intense, that be makes it point always to vote
contrary to tho way We vote-and he did this in
the case of Msquilken. In July, 1871. on petit
tiop of citizens. he was oustsd from the Post-of
fce at Whit, Cloud. He at once laid the blame
upon us; but after investigating. and procuring
a list of the petitioners from the Department at
washington, he failed 70 Hnd our name in any
cOlnfCto0
yials of his wrath, because did not step in and
prevent his removal; and he has 50 constantly
nurssd and fed this wrath ever since, that it has
grown iuto species of insanity. If Constable
Cochran would do this poor maniac favor, in
stead of signing a certificate of character, he
would deposit him in n public ganl or mad house

IMPORTANT DEcIaoS-SpEEDY AND EFFEcrU-
AL REMEDY.-A new and important question OF
railroad Law was determined at this August term
of District Court in Washington Counfy-Judge
Wilson presiding About two years ago, the 81.
Joseph and Denver City Railroad Company en-
tered upon the lands of Charles I. Calender and
John Dunnick, lying in that County, under the
railroad law of this State, had appraisers ap-
pointed aud the damages to the land assessed
for the right of way across these lands; and
deposited the amount of damages awarded, (s6o
| in one case and $50 in the Other,) according To
law. Calender and Dunnick appealed from
this award to the District Court, and the cases
were tried by jury; D. Webb, of this city,
| for the appellants: Doniphan & Brumhangh for
the R. R. Co. A Judgment of $500, was recover
cd against the company in the Dunnick case, and
81, 400 in the Calender case. Neither of the judg-
ments were paid, nor the money deposited to Sc
cure their payment.
Last spring, Mr.. Webb commenced cjectment
against the Railrord Company, to recover the
possession of the land, over which the road runs
and Judgment for the possession Of the land was
rendered in both cases, in favor of the plaintiffs
at the term of Court just closed in Washsngton

all classes of society We do not believe
that an absolute prohibition of the sale or
use of liquor can ever be attained. We do
not believe that any one ever expects to
see that day. If any person does so hope
and believe, the professcd friends of tenn
pcrancc are taking course to defer that
day.
If the present course is coDtinued,a fear
full reaction will take place. opening the
flood gates of rum so wide that it will take
decades of years to recover the lost ground.
What must be the effect upon sensible pco-
pie of such TRADES as was listened to in
Rutland early in the week. The Milton
prosecution, mentioned yesterday, will do
more to disgust the respectable part of
perancc, than can be overcome by years of
exertion. The mcanest keeper of the low
est GROCERY, when he takes the last cent
from starving family, is more humane
than the temperance mcn-as they miscall-
ed themselves who insisted upon prose-
cutting the Milton hotel keeper, for n vio-
lation of the liquor law, at time when
one of his children was dead in his house
and another dying. Humanity shoulders at
such brutality. II is time that the press
and the people should speak out on this
subject, if they have any regard for hui
mainly or the cause of temperance a
false timidity has too long kept them ST.
lent. The fear of being called an anti
temperance man will not restrain us, when
children are advised to murder hotel keep
ers, and men are forced from the bcdsidcs
of their dead and dying children to answer
for violation of u police regulation. If
we desired the open, unrestraincd traffic in
liquors, we could not ask that these men
should pursue different course. Hoping,
trusting and believing that the day will
come when this matter may he restrained
within due bounds, both by well devised
laws and proper sustaining public scnti-
mcnt,wc protest against the course of these
men as being most dangerous foes to soci-
ETY., as ontraging every principle of human
ity, as teaching a disrcspcct of the laws of
God and man, and as cOrrupting the minds
of children and young men.

We doubt not that the rules of war jus
tfy the sentence of death passed against
Marshal Bazaine but we trust, for human.
ilys sake, that the recommendation to
mercy will be needed. II war was actually
existing the case would be different, and
such an example might be productive Of
beneficial results. Our own rebellion
would have been ended at least year
earlier, if one or two prominent generals
hal been promptly condemned for dis
obedience of orders, during the Pope cam
paign. and, AS promptly shot. The coun-
try might have been temporarily shocked,
hut the effect upon the army would have
been immediate and lasting.

Railroads exist by their carrying trade
Other states control this matter by statut-

else this wholesome guardianship in cor

To show what the moral and political
power of an association of Patrons of

only to turn to the statistics of the census
of 1870. We iiud there the total of our
male population, engaged in agricultural
pursuits to he $3.50 while the total in
all classes of occupation, is only 95,2G3

the same interest that the farmer has, and
should alike participate in the spread and
success of the order There are 20, 933 of

chanical and mining industries, and, in the

and promoters. So it will be here.
While agriculture is the predominant in

OF it, as to our whole country and yet
this vast interest, so preponderant in the
nation, had only eleven representatives in
the last Congress, while lawyers were rep

that his business interests have not larger

TIL. TEN DAYS.

Congress has been in session some ten
days, and during that time three acts have
occurred 10 render these days memorable
forever. In the last the effect of caucus
dictation was apparent Matthew II. Car
penter, of Wisconsin, was elected president
pro tempore Of the Senate, by vote of
iwo-thirds of the members present or vot-
Ing. In a full Senate, there would have
been scventy-two votes, and yet only for
ty-eight were cast. Sixteen republican
Senators refrained from voting the prob
able explanation being that their consciences
would not allow them to vote for Carmen
Ter, while, at the same time, they had not
sufficient courage or maniness to disregard
u caucus nomination. The act is accom-
pllshed and nothing more need be said.
What the effect will be upon the morals of
the country we dare not consider it will
he dire enough and cannot be now warded
of. We have already said all that we de-
sire on this subject, and have, now, no
further comments to make thereon. Meth
81. IL t--"POoO ~ COMMENT upon the
other acts, simply desiring to group them
together so that the country may see them
AT glance. Prior to the first Monday of
December, there was an almost universal
demand that Charles Sumner should be re-
stored to his old place at the head of the
committee on foreign relations, and the
majority of the republican Senators were
understood to favor such course. The
Senate met, Sumner was not placed on the
committee, but the learned Senator from
Pennsylvania was retained at its head. The
reason becomes obvious when we record
the third act-an act, or speech, of the
President. A delegation of colored men
called upon the President, and, in response
10 speech, he spoke thusly of civil rights
we quote from the associated press re-
port; she did not know what Congress
" would do in the matter, but he thought
it likely that body would, at is present
g session, pass some civil rights bill, and
. that if such Il bill is defeated, it will
probably be because some extreme meas
" urc will be urged by person claiming to
he particular friend of the colored
" man." The slur is obvious Is COM
mcnt necessary; Are not all of these
measures cxplainedt The slur, the swim
dication,' the refusal to restore Sumner,
the election of Cameron, have a common
origin do they not! If they do not, then
there is no such thing as tracing the hidden
springs of actions, the common judgment
of the American people is sadly at fault
and there is no force 10 crcumstantial evil

TOO MUCH FANATICISN

Has fanaticism ever accomplished any
good results? Can any one point to any
real lasting reform, as the direct result of
any movement instgated by such men
The history of the abolition of slavery in
This country shows of how little worth are
all the acts and speeches of these men.
The north was convinced that the holding
of human beings in bondage, the buying
and selling of men, women and children
was not only cruel and unjust but a wick
ed, monstrous wrong, contrary to the laws
of God and abhOrrent to the conscience.
The south did not pretend to Justify the
system and were, even, beginning to see
that slave labor was not profitable Then
arose class of men in the north-smal in
number-who denounced the church of
God, the ministry and the bible, declaring
the constitution to be a league with death
and covenant with hell, because forcible
means were not taken to, at once, abolish
slavery. The result was inevitable A re-
action took place in the north, and the fet-
tiers of the slave were more firmly ryetcd
at the south. The final overthrow of the
whole systom of human slavery, in the
United States, was wrought out by other
means and by other men. Cannot our tenn
perance friends learn lesson therefrom ?
The vast majority of the people are united in
the belief that the unrestricted sale of in
toXicating liquors, and the too free use
thereof, is full of danger to the country.
both in its direct and indirect results. All
would heartily join in an effort to stay the
tide OF intemperance. Aside from the very
lowest dregs and scum of society, all are
willing to concedethat 1t is a fruitful
source of suffering, pauperism and crime.
A well directed effort, we honestly believe,
would disclose wonderful unanimity OF
sentiment upon this subject, extending "a
