&1.1OO Verdict.

A year or so ago, Mrs. John Pat
terson brought action, under the Adair
law, in our Common Pleas Court,
against John F. Miller, of our town,
for selling liquor to her husband. On
the first trial, the jury gave her yer
dict for $3.50. This did not satisfy
Mr.. NJ. and his lawyers, and they asked
for and obtained second trial. Last
week the case was again tried. The
case was conducted with ability and
ca'e, but the jury was out only a few
minutes, before it returned with a YER
dict of 81, 100 for the plaintiff. This,
with the costs, will foot up some 81
900 for Mr.. Miller to pay, which will
cut down the profits Of his business
very materially.
$500 MoRE.-On Wednesday last
the case of Jane Wilder VS.. j. f. Mil
ler, was tried This was also sui
| for damages under the Adair law, anC
a second trial The verdict on the
former trial, was 5000 for the plaintiff
and the defendant not being satisfied
asked for new trial.
| The Jury, like sensible men, quad
rupled the former verdict, giving the
plaintiff $500 and costs.
A few more of the same sort viii

At least one more is on the docke
for a second trial, the verdict in th
first trial having been 81, 1,0O0.- Belle

= We cannot see that an article in
the amended Constitution of our State
merely to prohibit the licensing of
the sale of Intoxicating liquors in the
State will result benefcially to the
cause of sobriety and temperance
We already have such provision in
our Constitution, and so far as pro
hihiting the sale of Intoxicating liqu-
Ors is concerned. it is failure. What
we really want is an article prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of this
kind of drinks in our State. There is
no use in saying in the Constitution
that you shall not license lis sale while
its sale is permitted without licene. Our
idea about it is, that if we permit its
sale al all, it should be done under leg
islative restrictions. We do not want
a constitutio nal provision authorizing g
the licensing or sale; but if its man,
ufacture and sale are not prohibited
by constitutional provisions, we
want our constitution makers to
put the whole question of its control
in the power of the Legislative depart
ment OF the Government, the same as
other public misdemeanors and crimi
nal offenses are. But we hope the
Convention for amending the Con.
sttHtion will immortaliZe themselves
by coming up to the demands of clril
justice and moral progression ano
take the animal by the horns by pro
viding in the Constitution that intoxi
eating liquors SHALL not be manufac
tured nor sold in Ohio that is thu
lick to strike at the source of nine
tenths (and perhaps more) Of all the
crimes committed in our State, ant
the nation. Why not, then, make thi
grand effort to throttle the monster?

= Our Constitutional Convention
might as well attempt to control the
temperature of the weather by con
stitutional provision arguing that the
mercury shall not rise above 90 deg,
as to expect to effect the prohibition
of the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
merely by provision against licensing
its sale; preventing the licensing of
its sale does not prevent the sale
WITHOUT a license, as fully proven by
the present prohibition of the Ii
cense. There must be something
more done, and we say let it be Con
slit utional prohibition of its manufac
ture and sale.

Railroad Freights.

There is no doubt but the price Of
railroad freights is higher than fair
equivalent for the service would justify
This is as common in other things
where there is not sufficient cornpeti-
ton to regulate prices, as it is in rail
road freights. Competition in bust
ness is the great regulator of prices;
but the capital required to compete in
the carrying trade in this country is so
great that it can only be done by com
binations Of heavy capitalists, hence,
that branch of business in our country
has become a monopoly. Railroad
men are just like all other men, or
combinations-disp to make he
most they can out of their peculiar ad-
vantagcs. If there could be competi
tiOn in the carrying trade as there is
in the mercantile or mechanical or
even agricultural business of the coun-
| try, there would be no monopolies,
and competition would regulate prices,
as supply and demand does mercan-
tile commodities. But as the rates in
the carrying trade by railroads cannot
very soon be regulated by competi-
ton, justice to the producer and the
consumer requires that the govern
ment should step in and protect the
latter class from the gripping power OF
these great combinations of monied
power. Now, the question is, how is
this to be effected with equal justice to
all classes? q? Propositions have been
made to fix rates of ofpassenger fare and
freights by law, or rates that shall lot
be exceeded under penalties for viola
tons. This, perhaps, is the only
mode by which this evil can b'
reached, and even by such statutory
regulation it may be very difficult tC
execute the law against such combina
tons of power, but the experimen
should be vigorously tried, and W,
hope that measures will be adopted
that will be satisfactory to the agri
cultural, manufacturing and CONNER
cial interests of the country, for the,

- Petitions are pouring into the
Constitutional Convention, from all
the cities and large towns of the State,
asking the Convention to provide in
the Constitution for licensing the sale
of Intoxicating liquors in the State. -
The petitions asking for an article to
prohibit licensing the sale, pretty much
all come from the rural districts, and
whatever is done to stay the progress
of intemperance in our State, must be
done by the people in the rural sec
tions. The friends of Temperance in
the cities and large towns are over,
powered by the rum influence existing
IN them. The great hope for reform
is in the nature and Intelligence of the
rural districts of our State

- AT the Farmers Convention. held
at Circleville on the 18th inst, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
ResoEred, That, recognizing the in
1uence of the Press as the exponent
of the sentiments of the people, we
most cordially invite all the papers of
the county to cooperate with US in
organizing this, the farmers move
ment for elf-preservation. To all
who abandon party interests and par
ty issue, and give to the farmers cause
their earnest and early support, we
extend the hand of fellowship and
more worthy consideration.
We presume that "more 4corthy con
sideration'' promised in the above
resolution means patronage money.
Brother Van Cleaf, who is a con-
sistent Democrat, and in a county that
always gives a heavy Democratic ma
jority, while he favors the interests of
the farmers, don't like the idea OF
abandoning his party, and thus haz
arding a certainty at the polls, for an
uncertainty. He says:
Whatsoever is right and necessary
in the farmers movement, shall have
our support; whatsoever has a wrong
tendency shall have our condemnation ;
we would have that movement direct
ed for the legitimate purposes it was
| desi igned, and not perverted that sore
head politicians. and chronic office
seekers may ride into office upon the
tail board of the farmers wagon.
We are opposed to the Republican
party, among other reasons, because
it has fostercd and paudered to mo-
nopolies, encouraged immense frauds
and swiLdles, and enacted ruinous tar
ifs, to oppress the farmer and laborer.
We are for the Democratic party, be-
cause from the days of Jefferson until
our Own,. it has constantly been on the
side of the people. It's anti-protec
tive tariff and liberal principles have
always presented a rallying point for
the farmers, but too many of them
have been drawn away by false issues
They now begin to see they are eater
up by the monopolies they have been
fostering, and are now organizing fol
protection. 1t is a hopeful sign for
our impoverished, plundered country
to see the giants of the plOw ant
work shop begin to ing uire the cause
Of the present profigacy and unfavor
able condition of affairs, for they re
alize the fact that for twelve lons
years, ever since the Republican par
ty came into power, they have beer
plundered and oppressed by Radica
monopoly, class legislation. Witt
the Democratic party in powe
throughout the cour.try, Legislation
would be so shaped that every farme
, and workingman would be great,
benefited, and therefore every former
mechanic and laborer ought to unit
in supporG of the Democracy. Th
bankers, manufacturers, and monopo
lists always have been and always vii
be in control of the Republican pal
, ty. Our political principles are sin
cerely, honestly entertained, and wi
not be yielded at the request of
+ Convention. or the demand of q regi
9 ment. Firmly, we will stand TO
Democracy, Free Trade and Farmer:
Rights, and upon that line fight
out"

While TENDING the Editorial
Convention at Circleville, few days
since, we had the pleasure of intro
dncing to each other two of our
youthful acquaintances, Jason Case,
Esq, and S. A. Griswold, of the Lam
caster Gazette, both of whom, as
we'll as oursclf, learned the printing
business with Hon. Ezra Grisw old,
i'll Delaware. Forty five years had
passed since these two boys had met
and both have grown to be honored
gray haired sires. 1t was a little
curious to see them look at each other
as if trying to see whether they could
recognize any similarity between the
boy of ''lang syne" and the fully devel-
Oped man of forty five years later.

- The Cincinnati Commercial don't
seem to be possessed of bowels of
compassion and heart of love for
country editors, and turns up it's intel
lectual nose, and sneeringly calls them
Rural BOOSTERS" The Commercial
thinks that is sharp point on the
country editors. Now, we take no
exceptions to the appellation. We
rather like it; Rural Boosters" There
is poetry in it. 1t is about equal to
"Crow, Chapman Crow" and who has
forgotten that. But somehow the
envious editor Of the Commercial has
enormously conceived the idea that
these 'Rural Roostegs" design to prick
his eyes out. Oh no, we only in
tend to pick his eyes open; that's all.

How is This?

At the West, the Agriculturist says,
if the railroads would ship our pro
duce at about half their present rates,
we could realize just that much more
for our wheat, corn, pork, &c, and al
the East the consumers of these arti
cles say, if these railroads would ship
the above articles to us at the cost Of
about one half their present rates, we
could buy them at price cores
Pondingly low. If both are right in
their conclusions, who is to get the
advantage of low freights
