Judge Poland.

1t is really fact, after all, that Judge
Poland intends to ask the people OF the Sec
ond district to return HIM to Congress this
fall. We draw this inference from nu-
merous articles which have appeared in the
press of New England during the past few
weeks, written, apparently, by persons in the
interest Of his reelection. There is seldom
so much said about q man who is retiring
from office, however meritorious may have
been his service. And newspaper men are
seldom so positive in their preference unless
they have been quietly interviewed and per-
suaded to use their little engines in moving
the people. The strongest point Of the
Judges political capital, may DO found in
an article from the Boston Journal, publish
ed in this paper and headed, "The revised
and Consolidated Statutes of the United
States" The Judge PROFESSIONALLY deservs
a portion Of this praise, but We submit 10
candid readers il in its wording, and in the
extent Of its adulatIon, il does not have moro

done, else the writer would not have forgot
ten wholly, to allude by name to any Other
member of COMMITTEES, which had rendered

buttons into this quiet rural village, where

Judges eye is keen as usual, but rather p6st-
less. He evidently feels rather nervous
over the exposure Of his completely with the
notorious Boss Shepherd aud Harrington
thinking, doubtless, that other matters quite
as disreputsble may come to light.
Our milk aud water paper here is con.
trolled by the acting postmaster, AID of
course only says what is permitted it, but
did make out TO cofess, last week, that the
Judge had made some mistakes; yet mas.
much as he had influence with the District
Rings, aud other dlsreputabe folks at WASH
ington, perhaps il would be we'll to continue
him there for the present And as to the
"Granger" Colonel, the Phenir thinks he
has no particular claim upon the people
nor is he particularly qualified for the posi-
ton. Well, perhaps the astute writer. who
does the editorial for that paper--the little
that is done--will tell us iOho is qualified
aud who has any claim upon the people. IL
dirty political work gives one a claim, we
have several in this town who may claim
the psoition. II is noticeable that honesty
is not deemed a necessary prerequisite for
the position, else the papers Of this district
would before this have found suitable can
didatc not tainted with the salary steal, the
gag LatO, and no one knows how many other
d;sgracef1l matters.
The Boston Journal, with an affectation
that is charming, refers to Poland's being
an ally Of Boss Shepherd 10 the gag law bill,
and suggests that the Judge Of course is IN
nocenf Of any intentional wrong! This is
nearly as good as ,Poland's explanation, and
about as truthful. Whatever else the Judge
has proved to be in his political life, never
before has any one suspected him Of being
the dupe Of others. No, the Judge can
hardly escape under the plea of being fool.
Well, if our district icM endorse the Dis
trict Ring, Sanborn, Jayne, BabCock and
salary stealing, as well as Boss Shepherds
gag law, it will prove, it is to be hoped. an
exceptional case this year. Our only hope
now for reform is in Congress, and unless we
can get better material into the next House,
there will be no end to the spread Of the
gross corruption that now pervades all de-
partments at Undergraduates Cor.

The Press Law.

An indignant protest goes up from all
parts Of the country against the new law
which was passed at the very end of the last
session of Congress- to drag the publishers of
public journals to Washington, and there to
be tried before the local courts on local in
dictment for libel. 1t is universally charg-
ed to be punishment administered to the
press for having so efectually ferreted out
public abuses and sifted the pretensionS of 50
many public men. If service like this to
the people is to be visited with penalties,
and the press is to be muzzled except when
its mount is opened for Aattery, it is high time
it was 50 understood. The people will never
submit to any such arrangement as this.
Lawyers pronounce the law grossly uncon-
stitutional, but the country will do better
and sweep it out of existence. 1t is not yet
time to put censorship on the press of this
country. 1t may answer in France, but the
United States is not the place. II a pub

A farmer, who was posted with crows,
hit upon the plan Of soaking some corn in
whiskey and placing it in the field SO that
the crows would get drunk, and then he
could easily close on them. After soaking
some corn all night, he put bountiful sup.
ply in the field early next morning, and In
about two hours he went out TO see how
things were progressing, aud mark what
followed. One old crow, little larger than
the rest, had gathered up aud taken posses
sion Of all the soaked corn, and had built
himself bar out Of some clOds of earth,
and was retailing the whiskey.soaked corn
to the other crows, charging them three
grains Of sprouted corn for one soaked
