ONE of the best things in the new
Constitution is the provision provi-
ding for one election only every two
years. We now have the trouble
and expense Of an election every
year. This provision alone will be a
great saving in expense to the people.
There are many other equally wise
provisions in the new Constitution,
and as whole, we look upon it as a
decided improvement over the pres
ent one. We shall vote for it.

Indignation in the country.
For fhe Galiipous .Jourasls
ON rHE BANKS OF RAcco5N,

June 1s, 1875
Mr.. EDIToR:-WelI authent tfcafed
reports reach us country residents
that your people in the city are. hav-
ing trouble in the enforcement Of the
beer Ordinance; that portion hf
your citizens, who wish to be eofiszd-
cred decent and respectable. are sid
ing with, and sustaining by their in
fuenee and eDen money, the yielators
of that enactment. These reports,
as was to be expected, have aroused
no little feeling of indignation among
the law abiding residents of the
country, and they are the subjected
animated discussion wherever two or.
three, or more, are gathered together:
We believe in the enforcement of the
laws; there is no safety for American
liberty in any other course, and hear
of no dissent from this plain and pa
triotie duty, and it viii be bad for
those men, should they bece,nE
known, whe aid and abet lsHlesshesss
II hope, for the good name of our
County town, that these reports are
untrue, or that they are exaggera1
tions. True or untrue, coming to us
so well authenticated, / could not
help calling attention to them, and in
few words stating how they affect
the country mind.
This opposition in your city to the
temperance cause, is making compact
and of one mind the people in the
country. We are all for temperance,
and when the time arrives for action
we intend to make that sentiment
manifest. The temperance people
may be out voted in the city, bat the
country will sustain their action by a
vote that will astound their oppo-
nents. Bide your time.

county to expose democratic office
holders. They must be allowed to
steal, and no one must say aught
against it.

THE Bulletin in speaking of the

The Bulletin in speaking of the
Beer Ordinance says:
In this connection, we may remark
that this Ordinance bids fair to cost
the city round sum ofsmoney.
The inference to be drawn from
this is, that as it will cost money to
enforce the ordinance, therefore it
should not be enforced. The same
may be said of all criminal laws, and
is the editor of the Bulletin prepar-
ed to dispense with their enforce
ment because of the cost? Is that
the advice of a good citizen. Every
one will reply, emphatically, No!
The Ordinance is the law Of the
city, and until repealed, tits the duty
of every law abiding citizen to uphold
the arms of the officers, who have
made solemn oath to enforce all laws,
in their enforcement of this one. We
want no favoritism in the admins
tration of justice.

The Cincinnati Gazette makes the
following criticism upon Grants
financial policy:
"In 1870 President Grant approved
the bill adding fifty-four millions of
bank notes to our inflated currency,
and putting it just SO much further
from specie payment. Last fall he
ordered the issue of greenbacks
which by law were dead, because he
thought the country needed more cur
rency. Now he proposes to contract
our currency four hundred and thirty
millions in the most summary man
ner.
ss9When the Supreme Court decided
the note tender act unconstitutional
the President thought this discredit
of the ''best currency in, the Yepa
SO vital q Hattes bat =
appoint tive, judges who were fsofadl
on this question To reverse the deci-
sion. Now he regards the repeal of
the legal-tender as the first step to re-
store our currency to soundness."

THERE has been trouble in the
Hooking Valley the past week, grow
ing out of the strike of the miners
The mine owners had brought on
from the South a large number OF
negroes to take the place of the
strikers, and this so exasperated the
strikers that for a time bloodshed
seemed eminent. But the firmness
and decision of Capt. Putnam, the
representative of Gov. Allen, in call
ing for troops and holding them in
readiness, had the effect to put stop
to the riotous demonstrations, and
finally disperse the riotors. For day
or two it looked very much like war.

The recent political news from all parts of the
country is much more hopeful than week ago.
Republicans who we're doubtful of retaining
majority in the next House of Representatives
are now quite confident, though the osrs sest
is still felt to be close. A prominent and active
politician in Pennsylvania writes that his infor-
nation, of private and confden-
tial character, covering almost every
town in the State, shows an excellent Republi-
can prospect, and that nothing short of politi
cal earthquake can take the State away from the
Republicans. The same person expresses tho
opinion that the Republican loss of members of
Congress will moi be more than three. Repub-
leans here have been expecting loss OF at
least six or eight Congressman in that State,
in districts which, at best, are very close and
