New YoBK, September 81 A Time
special from New Orleans says the sit

Business is everywhere resumed. The
Democrats and Republican alike be
| lieve there will be no further bloodshed.
1t is expected the conference commit
tee will arrive at some amicable under
standing relative 10 registration fol
the approaching election. The Demo
Gratis complain that the law gives too
much power and discretion as to the
time and place OF registration OF votes,
and the registers have permission TO
reject votes entirely without giving a
reason. The principal objection j.
that two citizens are required TO ldon-
tify voter. The Kellogg party pro
fcss a desire to grant anything, but be-
lieye the election laws are rs good as
those of any State in the Union. The
committee will probably conclude
their lahors to-day. 1t is understood
the result will he that the McEncry
party will pledge themselves to prevent
any public disorder during Kellogg 5
administration and recognize him as
the legal Governor. The Kellogg
party promise the Conservatives a fair
representation at the coming election,

That Honest Man from Kansas.

The papers have not yet done announcing
him. The wonder increases az the story
grows older. Every form of asseveration
known to our language, every phrase that has
been found useful in emphatic affirmation,
every thorough uncompromising superlative
that has done good service in the past, has
been made to contribute to his 1artering pre-
sentation to his amazed countrymen. he is

Temperance Mass Meetinu.

To THE TEMPERANCE MEN OF MAINE. t
While it is conceded by the people of the State that

tom and that the dram shop has been outawed, and
while the advocates of prohibition have and do still
control the executive offices OF State and county, it
must be admitted that In many localities intemper

the elective franchise enacted the prohibitory laws

secure their thorough ana impartial enforcement.

The Marginal Railway.

Inc Argus allows an anonymous CORES
pondent to assail the gentlemen whose names
appear as the corporators of a Marginal Rail-
way bill, and under the dastard's disguise to
impugn their motives in way he would not
dare to do over his own sgnatu re, as his
character and animus would then be exposed.
1t may, however, be fair to infer that 30.
p" represents the corporation which is de-
termined to retain its monopoly of CONNER
cial street, to the detriment of other railroad
corporations and the business of the city.
In view of the statements of this cores
pendent, who finds no argument against
the proposed enterprise, but only shouts,
"fraud," 'ring," "Ogdensburg," and like
original bug-a-boos, it is due to the gentle
men named as incorporators to stat few of
the facts in connection with the origin of the
bill. During the past year, there has been
an unusual amount of complaint of the OBJ
structions aud delay occasioned by railroad
Encouragement on Commercial street. In
the meantime the railroad companies have
asked for additional tracks upon that street
to enable the various interests to do their
business. Mayor Wescott, as the representa-
tive of the interests of the city, consulted all
of the railroad managers or their agents and
large number of the business men and
property owners of the city, as to the best
means to overcome present difficulties and OBJ
viate greater ones which appear in the imme-
diate future.
The result Of this general conference was
the bill which has been presented to the Leg
islature. 1t is fair to say that one interest in
particular was opposed to it, and others were
not favorable though not decidedly opposed,
but the general sentiment was in favor of a
measure having the distinctive features of the
bill now in the hands of the Judiciary, Com
mittee, it being believed that such corpora
ton would secure equal rights to all railroads,
dispense with any further tracks on CONNER
cial street, and tend to facilitate the shipment
OF merchandise.
1t was at first proposed that the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen should be incorporators,
but this being objected to on their part for
very good reasons, the Board, at a meeting.
without consulting the gentlemen named,
put their names in the bill as incorporators,
simply because they are representative men of
the interests affected and were generally
known to favor some measure of the kind.
The name Of Mayor Wescott was inserted
much against his inclination by the unani-
nous vote of the Board of Aldermen.
We are well aware that the gentlemen in
question need no defense, but having ascer-
tanned the facts in the case, it is just to all
parties to state them. .-
