Political Notes.

At the recent meeting of the Illinois re-
publican state committee, the speeches
were of the most encouraging character, in
dcating that the republican party of Hi
nois is not OILY as strong, but stronger
than at any period of its history. All the
speakers referred with confidence to both
the state and congressional campaign of
next fall as likely to result in victory to
the republican party by large majorties
Notwithstanding the fact that the demo-
cratic journals of Ohio are nearly unani-
nous in denouncing Senator Thurman for
his opposition to imitation, that gentleman
doesn't appear TO be Il bit frightened. In
his letter to the anti-inflaton meeting in
Cincinnati the other evening he wrote Il
took my position after long and careful
study, and from perfect conviction of its
correctness He then goes on to say that
he has had some regard to the teachings of
the democratic party, (which inculcated,
from the very first day of its existence, the
doctrine that rredeemabc paper money is
one of the worst evils with which any
country can be cursed"

MAINE,
Taxation OF tsaIlrOad stocks.


n hearing was given on Tuesday after
noon at Augusta, Me, before the governor
and council to parties interested IN the sub
ject of levying II tax upon railroad stocks,
pursuant TO an act passed by the Lcgsla-
ture. William l.. Putnam Of Portland, at
torncy Of the Boston and Maine railroad
corporation, appeared in its behalf He
contended that the practical effect Of the
law is liable to he inequiIablc. II would
bear hard upon the Portland Saco and
Portsmouth railroad and the Boston and
Maine, especially upon the latter He was
satisfied that some difficulty would be met
with in applying the law to the Maine Cen
trail and its consolidated lines, and to the
Atlantic and st. Lawrence railroad The
law then, he argued, would practically ap-
ply to the Portland, Saco and Portsmouth
and to the Boston and Maine railroads. not
in imposing Il uniform burden under the
system, but in levying upon those two roads
a contribution.
In the charters of these twoscorporatons
there was, as some contcnded, provision
that would relieve them from the effects of
the law, but still, so far as the corporation
he represented was concerned the man
ayers did not object to fair, equitable
tax, it such could be levied If the con-
struction Of the law is to be taken as some
view it, the assessment on the Boston and
Maine would not only be inequitable, but
so artificial that he hardly thought il would
stand the scrutiny OF the courts. In the
levying of fair and equitable tax upon
that corporation, Mr.. Putnam argued, it
should be laid only upon the two millions
of stock issued by the authority of the
state Of Maine. At the conclusion of his
remarks the hearing was suspended, no
other party appearing. 1t was expected
that Nathan Webb of Portland would ap-
pear for the Portland, Saco and Ports
mouth road, but he was unable to be pres
ent. The Dexter and Newport road will
be heard on Thursday.
1t is quite likely from present appear
ances that the levying of state tax on the
several railroads of Maine will be viror
ously resisted, as general thing, and that
additional legislation will be required be-
fore anything can be accomplished under
the new law.

Some one asked Bates Turner, who was
one of the ablest of Vermont jurists, al
though sometimes prone TO he a trifling
profanc, why the English system of plead
ing was retained in the courts of Vermont.
His reply was characteristic He said that
it was for two reasons first, because 1t
was the most beautiful, complete and per-
feet system of pleading that the wisdom OF
men could devise, and secondly, il was to
keep d fools out of the profession.
The judge was right in his first reason, but
it seems that he has not been cnicacious in
the second, as We find member of the
bar complaining that ''it must require a
" little less than omnscient wisdom in Il
" lawyer to prevent him from making mis-
" takes every few days in pleading under
the present Vermont system. We pity
clients if all attorneys are oil the same
kind.

when suddenly she undoubtedly took fright
and kicked the little fellow In the back of

The body fell under the horse and his
screams soon brought his mother TO the
spot who, with admirable presence of
mind and courage, succeeded in dragging
her child cut of the stall, but at the risk of
her lite, receiving two or three kicks from
the animal. The boy was for some tine
insenslble but Drs Grinnel and Walter
Carpenter, who were called in, pronounced
his injuries only flesh wounds, and hence
not dangerous. Mrs Hill was somewhat
bruised, but not seriously. 1t certainly
was narrow escape from death tor young

The San Diego WORTH says we learn
from Mr.. A. Rogers that Mr., Frank Blink
ley of Temescal, has lately discovered ex-
ceedngly rich placer diggings on the San
Jacinto river about fifteen miles east of
Temescal. Mr.. Binkley took out from
very imperfect sluice boxes in an eight
hours run 1880. The gold is of the
finest quality. AS soon as the news of
this wonderful discovery reached town, it
created wild excitement, and men of all
professions and trades Immediately procur-
ed conveyances and started for the new
gold fields. The diggings extend about
seven miles, having width of about 100
yards. Plenty of colors can be got from
any part of the belt. MIR. Rogers says that
i beats any diggngs he has yet seen in
California, and everybody knows that he is
well posted in mining matters. The mines
are undoubtedly the richest ever discovered
In the country. The whole vicinity is now
crowded with prospectors, who all seem to
be In high spirits and confident of success.

During the summer and autumn an
effort was made to obtain the opinion of
leading manufacturers on the proposed
reciprocity treaty. Some difficulty was
found on account of the prevalent opin-
ion that the treaty had no substantial
support any way, and that any special
activity on their part was quite unneces-
sary. So far as opinions have been
fled at Washington they are said to be
almost unanimously against the treaty.
In the State department we presume
there is no expectation that the treaty
will be ratified, even if such result is
desired. There was a flush of enthusi-
asm in New York just after the treaty
was made public, but the articles on the
subject bore striking family likeness,
if they were not from the same hand.
Aside from this local outbreak there has
been no general desire expressed for a
treaty like the one now pending.
