PRoHIBrrIoN-An interesting extract from
the Chicago Tribune, on the workings of
the Prohibitory liquor law in Maine, will be
found on our first page. We commend it to
the consideration Of all our readers. On this
subject, Mr.. Castor, Democratic candidate
for Governor of Massachusetts, in speech
at Worcester, just before the recent election,
made the following remarks, which well re-
fleet our sentiments. He said: We have
had for more than twenty years class of
laws called prohibitory laws. Twenty years
Of experience have convinced the people that
these laws are failures. They have ncreas-
cd the evils they were intended to remedy
An appendage worse than the original has
been added to these laws, one which ought
not TO be permitted TO disgrace the statute
books Of the State another year. fav the
repeal Of both of these laws. ! favor legis
lation towards temperance, and absolutely
wholly and heartily oppose the system Of
free rum" While value your good opn-
ion, while remember the teachings Of my
youth. and obey the dictates of my con-
science. will oppose "frec rum" These
are my views.

The Alta, in speaking of the report that
Eve millions Of English farm-laborers are to
emigrate to the United States, says: The
movement thereto having been inaugurated
by the European Committee of the Laborers
Union, upon representations by dcputation
from Mississippi, is calculated. if true, to
create no small excitement in both England
and America. 1t is said that already the
Union has enrolled large number Of men
for the United States, and the farmers Of
England are much excited and opposed to
the proposition. Should only one fifth or one
tenth Of that number emigrate to Mississippi,
il might create real revolution in the bu
ness Of that State, and in politics, too, with
in few years, after naturalization shall have
made citizens of the emigrints.

Frsm . gentleman arriving from

. murderous ARRAY which occurred at
that place late last evening. the par
tlculars Of which, rs fur as We learn,
are n follows: A number Of miners,
under the Influence Of liquor. had a
quarrel concerning the possessing OF
bottle Of lightning whisky. After
some parleying 1t was thought the dit.
ficulty was settled. Two OF the men
went Into the engine room to sleep on
the effects OF their carousal, when a
third party entered. and picking a pair
Of heavy tonga, inflicted q murderous
blow on the head Of one Of the men,
crushing his skull terribly ; aud then
followed up his attack with the tongs
on the second man. on whom he also
inflicted serious Injuries. The names
Of the different parties our informant
could net recollect, but stated II was
thought that one VI tho party would
die Of his injuries, and that the assail-
| ant had fed the District.
A meeting Of those interested In the
observance Of Decoration Day Will DO
held this evening at the Court-house,
for the purpose OF completing arran-
xements fer the celebration Of the day.
A full attendance Of all Is requested.
