Mr.. Hepworth Dixon, in letter
from St. Johnsbury, to the Dundee
Advertiser, relates with what diff.
Guilty he obtained a bottle of Bass'S
ale in that fourishing village. He
had to write an order to the Com
missioner, "a town officer appoint.
ed by law to sell poisons," and the
signature went on record in the
Commissioners book. "Intoxicat.
ing drinks" he says, "are classed as
poisons, such as laudanum and ar
senic," and "doled out at the dis
erection of this officer, in small
quantities, very much as deadly
nightshade and nux vomica are
doled out BY a London druggist"
This may be SO in st. .ohnsbury,
but we had an idea that they did
things on a larger scale there.

APPLICANTS FOR OFFICE.

According to the Calais Advertiser, that
city has in common with all other cities, a
large sufficiency OF good and loyal men
who are anxious to serve the government
in political offices. The difficulty is not
to find good men to appoint. but the
places to be filled are few. The Adver-
tiser sensibly says;
Zone bad result is, that there are always
more or less disappointed aspirants to Official
honors, who are apt to think that party or a
representative who fails to recognize their
pre- eminent merits, and appoint them to office.
is unfaithiul to the largest Interests of the
country, and therefore unworthy of support
and they manage, by hook or crook, to keep
up certain amount of disturbance n the
party. These gentlemen are doubtless all
worthy, and probably each one is the most
worthy of his class, but they are apt to forget
that, considering the number of voters capa-
BILE of holding Office, and the comparative
scarcity of Offices to be held, it is absolutely
necessary that some of them should remain
in the private walks Of life. to 'gild the calm
current of domestic Bliss" as Sunset Cox
puts it. 1t is the poorest way in the world fol
aspirants or for con,inuants in office, to seek
TO carry their points by threats against thu
party, or by calling in the aid of its enemies
TO determine the choice of it, officers. Th'
seductive visions Of harmony to be restored
by such course has no real existence. Nc
party can afford to make appointments at thu
dictstion of its enemies, and when mar
seeks their aid to get or retain office, he sim
ply puts into their hands the power to iDjurt
The party from which he wishes to obtain ia
yors. No man should hold Office under any
party, who is willing to jeopardize the welfare
Of the organization to accomplish his individ
nal schemes for place, and no party can sup
port itself by yielding 70 the demands of a
few Of its members whose main reliance and

WHICH GUN,Sp

The Holmes County (Ohio) Farmer

Democrats, stand by your guns! Let

Upon which the Ackorn (Ohio) Beacon
bases the following conundrum;
(which guns2 Those that bristled from
Fort Napoleon? The democratic guns OF
Richmond, Atlanta, and Vicksburg! The
stolen Remington rifles of the ten thousand
New Orleans democratic mob? The guns of
White Leaguers and Ku klux9 Are the de-
mocraey to be rallied around these blood
stained implements of death? Well, they are
as re- liable as the party they have pointed in
the same direction, and given out the same

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATIC AHCSE-
NEWT

A few nights ago the White League
maskers of Todd county, Ky, fired
through the door Of a negro cabin, and
put two bullets into the body of woman
who raised from her bed as the firing COM
menced. The correspondent who writes
an account of the outrage to the Louisville
Courier Journal says:
"There is no outspoken sentiment against
these acts in Todd county. The whipping OF
negroes, or the shooting into their cabins OF
nights, excites no moral indignation. Such
acts are scarcely spoken of at all, and, when
they are, some laugh, while others utter the
lazy words, TT all wrong and bad, aud had
better be stopped Here the matter ends.
Good God! Fourteen thousand people, or
ganized in all respects, permit Kukuxing
midnight whippings, and indiscriminate shoot
ings through the doors of negro cabins to 60
on for half q year without public protest.
If this is not shame and lawlessness in the
public mind, what is?"

AProvidence correspondent Of the Rock
land Free Press says that under the ar.
engagements made several weeks ago,
probably one-half of the mills in Rhode
Island are running on two-thirds time, but
there has been very little if any reduction
of wages. Some of the largest mills are
running full time, employing the usual
number of hands. The Spragues did not
enter into the manufacturers arrange
ment, and all their mills are working with
out change. They are reported to be
making money. and their affairs are going
along in satisfactory manner. The
trustee of their property is very hopeful
of paying the debts of the concern in
proper time.
