DEAD LETTER.

1t begins to appear that even should the
people, as whole, adopt the Local Option
law, it would, like many other of our stat
utes, be dead letter. We do not know
OF single place where it has been carried,
but the saloons still remain open, and sell as
mu,h liquor as usual. Its effect, thus far,
has, virtually, been to stop the dealers
from paying license, without stopping their
trade. This fact has become 80 notorious
that some h We suggested to the saloon
keepers in Township, No. 8, that it would
be to their positive benefit to vote for "no
license" and thus relieve themselves of the
revenue which the law now compels them to
pay. In Woodland and Oakland there is as
much rum selling now as ever, and in
Wheatland, the Free Press, paper pub
lished there, says: "Ihere is as much
liquor sold at the saloons in Wheatland now
.s before the Local Option election" There
is case pending in the Supreme Court, and
until that is decided. it will be impossible to
enforce the law. Then, what cool does it
do to hold an election preceding the decision?
If carried it does no good. If lost, it does
no good; and if the decision should be ad-
verse to the law, which it is thought it will !,
then where is the money spent in holding the
cleo ion? Where?
The Supreme Court decision on the Local
Option case was set for the 7th mat. Now
it is put for the 17th. When we will get it
there is no telling.

knows that the Democratic party was guilty
of great wckedness in connection with the
Louis> lille Canal, and that the Republican
party having been occupied with other things
for the past eight years, as, for instance, CIV

The last Mistake of Secretary Rich
ardsOn-II VIII Probably Cost Him
His Seat in the Cabinet
From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, March lS.-A promi-
nent member of Congress received to-
day letter from the Treasurer Of the
Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad,
stating that the delinquent taxes col
lected from that corporation, amount
ing to over S99, 900, were collected by a
Government revenue official, and that
they never heard Of Sanborn, or that
he claimed a percentage on the amount
paid, until the fact was developed a
few weeks ago IN the House. On the
collection Sanborn received over S4S,-
600, while it was made at the expense
of the Government, and without his as
sistance or expenditure of money In any
way, and this payment was made to
him after the investigation into the
matter had commenced, and after the
House had called for the contracts and
other papers on file in the Treasury
Department.
Mr.. Foster, of Ohio, authorizes the
statement that the assertion recently
made in the Republican, of this city,
that Butler had convinced him that
there was nothing wrongin the Sanborn
contracts, or the law under which they
were drawn, and that he Foster will
not press the bib repeating that law, is
incorrect in every particular. Each
day he receives new confirmation of
the frauds and corruptions that have
been practiced under cover Of this law.
There are promised, as yet In store,
developments of a startling nature in
this regard that will involve more than
one Government official who has been
using his Office to enable him to defraud
the Government and the people. Mr..
Foster has received letters from all Sec
tons of the country expressing the
heartiest admiration and Recommendation
for the manly, courageous course that
he has pursued in dealing with this
infamous ring, and the complete, effec-
tive and fearless manner in which he
exposed the rottenness of their chief
engineer, Benjamin Butler.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Another
complication for the Treasury Depart
ment has arisen in the Sanborn matter.
Members of the Committee on Ways
and Means have ascertalned that all the
information in regard to very import
ant application for a contract under
Nav s, 1872, has been withheld by Sec
rotary Richardson. Upon inquiry, the
excuse is that the resolutions of the
House only called for information in
regard to the contracts actually made,

a cup put one tablespoonful of corn

stirred and smooth, pour this over the
eggs, and beat them all well together
for few minutes; little chopped par
seley can be added if wished. Cook as

be added until sent to table; and to
have them perfectly light and tender,

and did not cover applications for con-
tracts. The Secretary, however, IN bis
second communication to the House
used the following language:
The papers herewith transmitted
comprise copies of all the contracts,
schedules, receipts, certificates, checks,
and other correspondence having any
bearing upon, or relation to any, and
all steps or action taken by the Treas
ury Department under the provisions
of the law referred to.
The committee, however, soon learned
of several documents. that were omit
ted, and were about to call formally on
the Secretary for the third time, when
he requested that such resolution
should not be passed, and promised, if
it was not, to Immediately send all the
remaining papers to the House. 1t
now appears that gentleman, now in
the city for the purpose of appearing
before the committee, applied for the
contract, which was strictly In accord
ance with the spirit of the law. The
application was made few days after
the bill passed. The person making it
had discovered where land grant rail-
road had overcharged The Government
for transportation of freight more than
three millions of dollars, and he set
forth in the accompanying affidavit all
the needed information to insure its
collection. Though he was the first to
apply, and the work he proposed to do
was In strict accord with the law,
he was unable to procure the con-
tract, and was instantly put off,
until finally three persons were select
ed, and under the law no others could
be engaged. 1t will come out that the
failure to give the contract to him
arose from the opposition made here by
the agents of the railroad companies,
and he was finally told that the depart
ment could not undertake to collect
this sum from the road.
The members of the committee con-
versant with the case deem this one of
the very worst matters yet brought to
light In the whole infamous business.
The case, as fully set forth to the de-
partment, was one where the road
named had deliberately violated their
charter, and as deliberately swindled
the government out of 100000.
Persons in position to be well in
formed say there is no longer any doubt
but that this Sanborn matter Will lead
to change both in the Secretary and
Assistant secretary. Every day devel-
opments render it more certain that the
Ways and Means Committee, or some
other committee of the House, will be
obliged to investigate the matter by
means of sworn testimony.
