The resuscitated Democracy don't appear
to harmonic as well as they might on the
ready-mad platform of Free Trade, Hard
Money, and Home Rule. The Hartford
Times is unable to approve of that sentence
in the resolution of the Maine Democracy
which virtually demands the payment of the
revenues by direct taxation. 1t has the
thoughtlessness to say that Gree Trade and
direct taxation was an old cry, but it never
prevailed; aud, on the whole, the system of
tariff for revenue is the tax system which
bears most lightly on the people, The Gin
cinnati Enquirer is even more energetic in
its complaints of the specie payment resolu-
ton of the same platform. 1t says, The

New England. 1t rules both parties IN those

THE EAST LEBANON AssAULT.-A cores
pondent sends some further particulars of the
murderous assault on Mr.. S. A. Woods, sta
ton agent of the P. & R. Railroad at East
Lebanon Saturday night Mr. Woods was re-
turning from the depot to his home, distance
OF about two miles, and when in a lonely sec
ton of woods he was accosted by two rough
looking Irishmen, one remarkably tall, pow
erful fellow. who made a casual remark con-
corning the rain that had begun falling, and
before the agent could reply he was seized by
both, thrown upon the ground and the ruffians
commenced beating him in an inhuman man
ner about the head. Mr., Woods had at the
the acquisition of this might be the intention
OF his assaults, offered it to them if they would
release him, but the proposition they needed
not and continued with increased violence.
aiming each time at the unfortunate mans
face Suddenly from some unknown cause
they fled to the woods, leaving their. victim
in a weak, bleeding condition. The cause of
their renqulshment was no doubt fright as
Mr.. Woods was then almost powerless Mr.
Woods with great difficulty dragged himself to
wounded man was attended by Dr. Parker,
who pronounced his mi ries serious but moi
fatal. Sheriff E. G. Mussey was informed of
the affair early the next morning, and imme-
dately started in pursuit of the Williams
The cause of the deed is somewhat myste-
rious. Certain it is the men were not seeking
for money, as they had it offered them. They
evidently did not wish to kill their victim as
they directed their blows at his face alone.
Mr. Woods thinks he was struck at least thirty
times. One fact serves in a degree to solve the
mystery. Last winter Mr.. Woods was untir-
ing in his efforts to suppress the sale of in
toxicants,. and he with the assistance of others
accomplished their purpose, and it is rumored
that the terrible punishment he has received.
was instigated by parties whom he opposed.
Through the energy of DIR. Parker the affair
will be looked into as deeply as possible. The
apathy of the resident sheriff peryokes unfays
orable comment and comparison
