Mr. Summers letter to the President of
Hayti is filled with sentiments honorable to
his head and heart, such as any sincere re-
Publican will heartily endorse. The Won
der about Mr.. Sumner is that man hold
ing to such principles as his concerning
the colored race should have ever leagued
himself with those who opposed the free
ing of the slaves and every step since
taken to give them the rights that freemen
ought to have. If Mr.. Sumner could blot
out 1872 from his record the pages would
stand fair.

The Fourth of July orator at Bangor
seems to have improved the occasion to
make democratic speech. We take it
his ideas were somewhat confused, for we
notice he confounds shipbuilding with
commerce. urging his hearers to engage
in commerce, when evidently he meant to
exhort them to build vessels. When
Maine was the second shipbuilding and
ship owning State in the Union there were
many States with larger commerce, some
of them with no sea coast at all. The
young man will learn as he grows older.

The Massachusetts papers are rather Sc
we're on General Buffers speech. They
all agree that he lodged on the temper
ance question. The Boston Journal says
che designed to 60 only SO far in his re-
''marks about the enforcement of the
''liquor law as would permit him in some
Subsequent speech to assure the liquor
interest that that kind of enforcement
would be for their benefit. Aud the Bos-
ton Advertiser makes the following COM
ment upon the zeal which Butler displayed
for enforcing the prohibitory law: "There
ARE two ways of dealing with such a
Flaw; one is to enforce its penalties
against gross and wilful offenders, and in
''such way as to make the law re-
''sh amt and warning to evil-doers; the
''other would be to enforce it upon all per-
"sons liable to its penalties, indiscrimn-
lately, and in such way as to discredit
''allIestrictions and make them odous and
'short-lived. The most violent enemy OF
prohibition would be likely to enforce
1.-THE law in this way. simply because he
'hated it, and meant to do his saloon
keeping clients the greatest possible SER
''vice. For this reason it became ques-
'stion of some interest to the sincere be-
''liever in prohibition whether their orator
Twas with them or against them whether
''he thought the law should be enforced
"for its own sake, or only because its en-
"forcement would be short step to I'M
limited license. This was home thrust
land it was perfectly natural that it should
'''seem to General Butler on such plat
form very much like whistlipg at a FINN
''eral."

The Canadian Pacific Railway scandal
appears to be worse swindle than the
Credit Mobilier. But the worst thing in
connection with it is that the investigation
ordered by Parliament has been delayed by
the Premier, Sir John A. Macdonald, as is
alleged. and exposure by that means is
prevented. There is enough coming to
light from private sources however. so
that the corrupt character of the concern
will be pretty well ventilated

THE W. & o. RAILROAD WAR.--A
lively little war seems to be growing up
over the w. & o. railroad. On Friday last
quite respectable number of the Loudoun
stockholders met at the courthouse in Lees
burg. to hear the report of the investigating
committee previously appointed. That
report gives forth no doubtful or uncertain
sounds. 1t is signed by gentlemen who
seem to know whereof they speak, and the
conclusions arrived at are, to say the least,
not ''lovely." The legislature, too, has
taken the subject in hand, and are talking
seriously of resuming the states interest of
over million dollars in the road, which
was few years ago sold for promise of
s52, 900, but which promise has never been
realized. Tomorrow night, Thursday,
Mr.. Lewis Mckenzie, president of the road,
proposes to address the Loudoun stock
holders at the courthouse, in, Leesburg,
in vindication of the charges brought
against the present management by the
report of Friday.-Leesb,ug Mirror.
