SHALL. the high minded and guile
less Lent be DETAINED by the wicked
and slanderous Goodman? That IS
the question. Shall it be said that
this man who was as clay in the
hands of the potter when the schem-
ing Arnold and the INSCRIPTIONS
Slack entrapped him into their dla-
mond- sailing venture is to undergo
the merciless process OF having 1t
rubbed in by a sage-brush editor,
and no voice be uttered in the name
of Justice, retribution and damages?
God forbid! And now do we re-
ioice that an injured and outraged
Innocence in the suggestive name
and time of Lent doth vigorously
and earnestly recalcitrate even as the
exasperated worm doth finally turn
upon its merciless tormentors and
resent the treading upon its virtuous
and exemplary tail (! This man
Goodman gave it out in hintings
through the columns of his news
paper as if it were possible that MIR.
Lent would cheat blind Chinaman
with a blank and obsolete lottery
ticket in place of veritable green
back; as if he would take advantage
of a blind orphan girl in the mat
ter of making change; as If he
would salt a mine in order to deceive
his trusting and guileless grand
mother; and as though it were pos
sible that this modest, immaculate
and yirtuous minded man would pur'
loin fiery furnace or confiscate a
grizzly bear. Let the heertless
slanderer be sinched; and let the
honored name of Lent be rescued
from desecration and the foul breath
of calumny!

BILL FOR THE BETTER GOVERN
MENT OF TOWNS AND CITIES.

The bill which originated in the
Senate providing a plan for the bet
ter regulation Of towns and cities,
and to the provisions of which ref
erence has already been had in these
columns, was amended, in many OF
its features, passed, finally, and is
now a law, having been approved by
the Governor. The original bill
provided that the law should be in
operation except it were protested
against by three-fifths Of the tax
payers of the town or city affected;
but as amended and approved, It
provides that the county authorities
shall not be empowered to assume
the corporate functions prescribed
in the body of the statute, save upon
the petition of majority OF the
citizens who shall represent three
fifths of the taxable property OF the
place, and whose signatures shall be
duly attested as genuine. Amongst
the leading features of the law as 1t
stands, is the power Of the County
Commissioners when acting as town
officers) to define the boundaries OF
the town or city; to levy tax not
exceeding per cent. per annum; to
collect licenses from 'theaters; to IL
cense, tax and regulate and prohibit
or suppress alltippling houses, dram
shops, saloons and raffles," as we'll
as to regulate or prohibit or sup
press prostitution;" also to fix a dog
tax; and, more important than all
else, to pass and maintain an ordi-
nance for the prevention Of animals
running at large. The powers con-
ferred by this new law are very full
and manifold and are intended to
invest the various Boards of County
Commissioners with quite as much
of authority as is commonly dele
gated to Town Trustees or Boards OF
Aldermen. When we can command
more space we will publish this Act
in full.
As promising to bring forth some
thing of order out of chaos, we are
very much prepossessed in favor Of
this law. Carson presents thous-
and gaping demands for more con-
slant and specific local government
Our streets are in dreadful state Of
dilapidation; nuisances abound on
every hand; vasrancy faunts Its
shamelessness in the eyes of strug-
Cling industry; swine and other
beasts, clean and unclean, usurp the
better privileges of the streets; our
highways. and alleys are the recep-
tacle of indiscriminatc garbage; and
the Capital of the State can ooast OF
not a single paved street and not q
dozen of we'll constructed cross
walks. We are herewith casting NO
aspersions upon the Board Of Com
missioners. Doubtless they are do
ing as we'll as may be, under the
circumstances; but their powers are
lamentably limited; and it is in adj
vocacy of the enlargement OF those
mowers that we favor the filing OF
the requisite petition to entitle the
town to the benefits of the said en-
actment. We shall press this mat
ter upon the attention Of our towns
people when better opportunity to
discuss the merits of the law IN
ouestio., affords itself.
