The "Poland gag law" SO called, seems
to be without much force in Missouri. In
the Chandler Buell. libel suit, Judge Treat
seems to have no doubt that the exrlans-
ton of Judge Poland, as endorsed by
Messrs Edmunds. Carpenter, Thurman
and Stevenson, was correct, yet he takes a
cowardly way of disposing of the case.
Perhaps willing to give other Chambers
and Shepherds an opportunity of venting
their spite on some of their obnoxious &C.
quaintances and to allow political dema-
gogues to ring changes on gag laws" IN
general and this pretended one in particu-
lar, he carefully avoids IN saying in so
many words that the law had not the eff
feet claimed, but discharges the prisoner,
Buell., on question not really arising on
this law, although one of the main objects
of the prosecution was to have court de-
eide that Zach Chandler and "Boss" Shop
herd knew more about law than did Judge
Poland, Senator Edmunds or Senator
Thurman.

The political chaldron is boiling in
Massachusetts. The prohibitionists are
determined to defeat Rice, if they can,
because the "safety of the republic" de-
ponds upon it, and the labor retormers
carry free lance intending to hit whom it
may. How many votes the prohibitionists
can control is matter of conjecture. 1t
is that unknown quantity" upon which
both parties rely in Ohio, aud the Withhold
ing OF which from Rice may or may not
defeat him. If, however, the probable re-
suit is estimated on the vote of last year,
the Withholding will, they doubtless think,
defeat Rice but we are inclined to think
that their action will result dire city con-
trary to what they intend and will insure
his election. Talbot was defeated mainly
because he was believed to be an ultra,
unreasoning prohibtionist, and the vote
alienated from him on this account will
now return to Rice, while that unknown
"quantity," judging from past experience,
will be a mere drop in the bucket and be
scarcely appreciated in the general result
Unwittingly, the prohibitionists have saved
Massachusetts. and perhaps the country, to
the republicans.

not tended so much to protect the freed
men in the exercise of the right of suffrage,
as to intimidate the whites from attending
the polls and exercising free choice In the
selection of their officers. We know, too
as the reports from Alabama itself plainly
show, the military arm of the government
has been used to promote fraud. bribery
and corruption in that state, and has not
only foisted dishonest, corrupt and igno-
rant officials upon the people but has sent
the same class Of Statesmen" TO the senate
and house of representatives of the nation.
Alabama distrusts, we think without rea-
son, a similar course in the future, and
proposes to guard against it. This will be
accomplished, SO far as state officers are
concerned, by the adoption of this amend
ment, for these force bills derive their only
claim to constitutionality from the real or
assumed power of congress TO regulate in
every respect the time, place and manner
of holding elections for members of con-
gress.
II this action of Alabama would stop
with Alabama il would not matter much :;
it might be of benefit as showing how jeal.
ously the people regard their rights and
how strenuously they will peaceably resist
any infringement thereon. 1t would sim
ply show the effect of the assumption of
extreme powers, constitutional though
fhaxr p,tfti,f I'm I'm ~, x,l,; ,l,
the reaction may be carried. But we fear
it will not stop here. Every other, or near
ly every other, southern state has the same
cause of complaint that Alabama has and
we fear will follow her example. If so,
although the reason for this action would
be without force elsewhere, we may look
for similar course in the northern states
until the whole movement Toward an uni
form election day will be at an end, and
the present system be established without
hope OF a change. Such day would be
gladly hailed by political shysters and cross
roads politicians, because they could again,
nomination being secured, discount an
election on account of the political effect
upon other states of a party defeat in one
of its strcngholds. If this matter goes
| backward, if the present system, Of cleo
tons, here to-day and there tomorrow, and
so on during every week of the year, shall
continue to prevail, we may lay the blame
at the door of enforcement acts and pro-
posed force bills, and not wonder much
that Alabama thought there was IN actual
necessity for the action.

Serenade.

About ten o'clock on Tuesday evening
the Vergennes cornet band, under the
leadership of Mr.. Sherman, of Wlnooski,
marched from their rooms to the Franklin
house, and rendered Mr.. L. II. Murphy n
serenade in honor of his reelection rs
foreman of Stevens hose. Capt NJ. made
short and very appropriate speech, COM
plimenting the band on the excellent music
and thanking them for the honor bestowed
on him and the company.
lie invited the band and a number of
personal friends into the parlors of the ho-
tel, where very pleasant hour was spent
listening TO some very excellent remarks
and advice from Hon. G. w. Grandey.
The press received invitations to the
party, and, among other speeches, MIR.
Chapman's and Mr.. James Cranes pleased
and gratified those present.
Mr.. Chapman said he thought the COM
pany had done nothing but light in re-
elecling their old captain, as it was 10 him
they were indebted for great many favors
shown them.
Mr.. Crane, of the Vermonter, trusted
this affair would not he lost sight of IN the
haze (Hayes). The GLOBE was heard FROM
Mr.. Grandey, just before the breaking
up, proposed the toast of the baby cart, y
and propbesied a brilliant future.
AT eleven the band returned to the street
and played another of their best selections.
This serenade was an impromptu affair,
but was made as good as if weeks had been
spent in the preparation.
Captain Murphy felt gratifled that so
many were anxious TO congratulate aud
assist him.

III. c. Holmes of Quaker Springs and A.
b. Baucus of northumberland recently
purchased in Essex county nine hundred
head OF sheep. The largest number Of
them were procured in the town of Lewis
from that place on Monday, September 20.
and reached the farm of Mr.. Baucus IN
Northumberland on the Friday following.
The next day they sold six hundred of
them to farmers residing in that vicinity.
Many of the Gloversville glove manu-
facturers are cutting down their working
forces, and some have entirely suspended

There was successful tiremens muster
at Southbridge. Mass, on Friday, although
the rain interfered with the proceedings to
to some extent. There was brilliant pro-
cesslon in the morning, Solomon Thayer
chief marshal, and at the close collation.
at the Town hall. In the afternoon a trial
OF machines took place, when the highest
slream-109 feet 10 inches-was thrown
by Tiger, No. Z, of Southbridge.
A panther rushed into bedroom In
house, a few miles from Willis, Texas, the
other day, and carried off a baby in his
mouth, but the twelve-year. sister fol.

A little fellow of three summers was at
tending one of the Troy churches Sunday
where he became very thirsty, and several
times importuned his father for drink of
water. The father at last informed him
that no water was to be had, and he would
have to wait until he reached home. The
little fellow kept quiet as long as possible,
when suddenly espying the tlagon contain
ing the sacramental wine on the table Ia
the church, he very audlbly exclaimed,
much to the amusement of the part Of the
congregation in his vicinity, "Please, papa,
give me drink from that teapot" "Papa"
had difficult task explaining that the yes
sci which the child insisted was teapot
did not contain tea.
