LEGATION Of this city. 1t seems that Deacon ",
one of our most honorcd citizens and recognized
by all rs Il thoroughly conscientious christian
man, owned some town lots in the vicinity Of
the C., b. Il Q. X. K. depot. The Deacon is in
moderate circumstances, and having bought
these lots several years ago expecting to make a
speedy sale OF thcm in which he was disappoint-
ed, was anxious to dispose Of them at Il fair
price y few months ago Il gentleman offered
him fair price for one of them, and it is barely
possible, though the say-so Of the League does
not make it J;tct, that le told the Deacon he
intended 20 erect saloon upon it, Suppose he
did; or suppose he told the Deacon ne proposed
to erect a powdcrhOusc, or soap factory or
patent manure factory, or any other structure
liable to become a nuisance. Is it the business
of Deacon ~ or is it that of our city authorities
to attend to nuisances about the city? Suppose
Cowell, Clark Il Co., should offer the Methodist
society enough Tor their present church property
70 enable them to buy the corner oppos lite or the
next corner north of them and erect buildings on
the new site worth $4,000 more than their pres
ent buildings: wouldn't they be fools not to sell,
though the object of c., c. X Co., might be TO
erect an Opcra House on the site, with saloons
in the basement? These poke Our-nosc-into'
otherpeopc's business" tactics of the temper
ancc zcalots have gone far to make the cause
odious IN our midst and a stencil in the nOstrls
of many good people, Enforce the rule the
Lea9ae would lay on Deacon n, and it would be
come unlawful to raise grapes lest they might be
made into wine; or corn or I'VE, lest they might
be converted into whisky. rdpeH c0,DtOr is the
rule Of common law as well as common sense.
When q man buys or sells wheat corn, beans,
potatoes or land in open market his only duty
as well as right IS 10 take care of his own inter
csts.

ling a saloon, to GO TO Bodwelrs." Why not?
The FREE TRADERS standing auvcc to all is, To
go to no saloon. But in this country there is no
law against a man making fool Of himself by
spending his money at saloons, and it is allOwa
bic a; least to advise him to 20 10 "A respectable

While we do not claim that Mr..

vel we 10 claim that large portion OF

unless our Senators and representatives
in the Legislature give their votes in that

their constituents. But we have elected
our Senators and Representatives the

not venture to state that majority Of

OF Mr.. Hamlin. lie only states that
Large portion desire his reelection. 1t
S possible that there may be "laTge

that there was or is a majority OF the Re.
publieans in this County in favor OF his

different statement; and would have
afforded a much stronger reason for the
casting OF their votes in the manner

the exception of three localities on or
near The @. I. Railroad containing 4 few
prominent men, the majority OF the Re-

tionably opposed to the reelection OF

The announcement OF a change in the
personnel OF the board OF commissioners
OF charities which has charge OF Black
wells Island, created the greatest con.
sternalion among the officers and few
of The inmates OF the peuitentiary there.
Boss Tweed, il has been decided, must at
once come under the rules of prison disci.
pine, be properly clothed in the striped
prison garb and conveyed from his pala.
Tally luxurious quarters to a cell like that
oil other convic.s. The Boss was terribly
indignant at first, but found that did no
good, and then he took the other tack
and tried to obtain from the warden a
promise that he should not be put in a
cell, Tor that seems 10 be his especial
horror But the warden could give him
no encouragement whatever. and the
Boss relapsed into glum silence and
could not eat his boned turkey with any
sort OF appetite. The physician OF the
island, who some time since decided that
it was essential to Tweed's health that he
should have better quarters than the 9th
er u, isoners, has now discovered that no
cell in the peniteGtiaIy is large enough to
hold the Boss, aud that one will have to
be built especially for him, and work up.

Friend John d. Lang of Nassalboro,
one Of the Quaker Peace Commissioners.
has written an earnest letter TO the Maine
Farmer, in which he testities his deep
sympathy for the red men whom he calls
unfortunate and abused fellow beings,
and declares that barbarities have been
committed upon them, and especially the
women and children. more horrid than
ever before recorded in the civilized
world. He pronouuces ''the peace poll
cy." a success, and believes that no hand
raised against it can prosper. But 1t
seems that the committee on appropria-
tons 10 congress have concluded to take
the risk; for they have voted TO abolish
the Board OF Commissioners and 10 have
the uuexpended balance of funds placed
at their disposal Ieturned.to the Treasu'

the government toard the Indians which
il has always practiced, il is doubtful,
