Lick Out For Lies.

This is our last issue before the e.ec-
ton, and we desire to caution our readers
to be on their guard against campaign
lies put afloat just a day or two before
election. We have an inscriptions
enemy, and a desperate one. Lies have
been the principal stock in trade of the
opposition press, and candidates on that
ticket are working persistently, and we
are sorry to say untruthfully, to accom-
plish their objects. The county will be
flooded at the last end with charges
against our candidates. Don't take any
stock in these eleyenth-hour yarns. Set
them down as false from the simple fact
that they are made when it is too late to
meet them.

JusrIoE TO RAILRoADs.-The persistent
and general accusations against railroad cor
porations have brought powerful plea in
behalf Of those corporations from Mr..
Thomas Allen, of st. Louis, one of the kings
of this important business. His argument
was intelligent, and at least plausible, and
contested popular charges point by point.
He denied that large corporations were a
source of danger, for one combination begets
another and hostile combination, a fact
which the war between the Pennsylvania
and Ohio lines is now illustrating, The
primary assumption on which all state inter
ference rests, that all railroad service is
everywhere of equal value, Mr.. Allen pro-
nounced absurd, since some roads have been
built at a cost of $4,000 mile and others
at $4,000 per mile; in some cases loco
motive will draw thirty loaded cars and in
others only ten, so that a charge of three
cents per mile over heavy grade road may
be as cheap as a charge Of one cent over an
easy grade. He claimed also that the enor
nous wealth Of tho country, which the roads
have made, ought to entitle them to some
consideration. In Missouri the land value
had been increased thereby s2O0,0OO,0O
and in the eight northwestern states 1000,
100000, with other benefits in proportion.

DINNER TO CARL ScHuRz.-A compli-
mentary dinner was given to ex-senator Carl
SchuIz last week, in New York, by number
of the leading citizens of New York and
other states. Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts presided,
and among the other distinguished guests
were Charles Francis Adams, Jr., Peter
Cooper, S. b. Chittenden, John J. Cisco,
Parke Goodwin, ID. A. Wells, ex-Attomey
General Barlow, Howard Potter Cyrus w.
Field, Murat IIalstead, Professor Batta,
Charles Butler. Whitelaw Reid, Dr. Ham
mond and others. The whole party num-
bered about two hundred. The address Of
welcome to Mr.. Schurz was made by Mr..
Evarts, who complmented his past services
that for six years Missouri had been an i'm
portant and honored state in the councils of
the nation, because Carl Schurz was in the
Senate. In reply Mr. Schurz returned his
thanks for his cordial greeting, and said that
TO earn the good name of citizen, is thing
greatly TO be desired. With reference to
politics, he said that neither of the two great
political parties now satisfies the people.
The Independent voters were in the main,
he thought, good citizens, and not bargain
ers. He believed that they were strong
enough to give victory to either party de-
serving it. The independent party was too
great to fritter its power away, but it was
the duty OF the men who composed it TO use
their power for the common good. II was
too early 10 advise it with regard to the next
presidential election, but initiatory steps
should be taken by the men composing it to
bring its power TO focus, let it be by the
organization of committees or otherwise so
that when the time arrived they could say to
the parties what the Independent men
wanted lie concluded by expressing the
hopethat the centennial Of next year might
be known not only as a year of proud memo
ries but of strong and Independent action
The toast Reform " was responded TO 10y
Charles +. Adams, Jr, who said that the
gathering was intended to have no political
significance, yet it was important as an ex
preston of that deep yearning which pervadei
all thinking men for purer political atmos
phere than has of late prevailed.

SETTLED AT LAsT.-The controversy be-
tween the Collector at Portland and the Col
lector of the District of Vermont has been
settled at last by the Secretary of the Treas
ury. This was matter in relation TO the
transportation of bonded goods from Canada.
The decision favors the Vermont view Of
the question. The position of the Secretary
is. that the regulations Of the Both Of March
last, are to supercede all others. His posi-
ton is, that the sealing of ears under con-
sular manifest does not apply to bonded
goods, so as TO excuse them from the neces-
sity Of entry at the first port, but that an en-.
try thereof is indispensable before they can
be allowed TO traverse the United States
Entry for expectation, however, may, If the
person authorized to make it chooses, consist
only Of an entry for transportation in bond
conditioned in the usual manner for delivery
Of the merchandise to the Collector at the
port OF exit from the United States.

A PROSPEROUS STATE.-It is consoling to
know that there is one Southern state that
confesses to prosperity. The Arkansas pa
pers are all peryaded with a cheerful tone in
reference to agriculture and trade, and the
Little Rock GdseRe says Never in the his
tory of Arkansas were there such signs of
industry and improvement. From every
county in the state we have the most cheer
ing news. More wheat has been sown, and
it looks in better condition than ever before
known. More new ground has been put
under fence, more new fencing made, more
farm improvements and more industry dis
in any one year previous TO this"

PENNSYLVANIA PoIITIcs.--The guberna-
torial campaign in Pennsylvania opens next
month by the holding of the Republican
state convention. The Republicans see that
they have hard fight before them, and in
all probability they will re-nominate Gov
enor lIartranft, who although he went into
Office with a reputation somewhat clouded
by his connection with certain transactions,
has lived down all reproach by his honest
course while Governor lie is evidently 10y
far the most available candidate, and thus
far no one has appeared to dispute his claims
Only one candidate besides the Governor
is TO be voted for on the state ticket next
fall, that is treasurer an Office formerly filled
by the Legislature, but made elective by the
new constitution.

pei some new and ampler conveniences ioi
them in this place. The heavy freight busi
ness might be done at the point we indicate,
the most convenient Que in town for the
roads, the merchants and the MANUFACTURES.
The passenger depot could then be arranged
in common for both roads near its present
location on State street, with much more
agreeable and larger accommodations.
II such a plan can be carried out-and
nothing is more feasibe--it would turn ulti-
mstely the fire into blessing Of great mag
nitude TO our town. But at any rate the
present disaster will soon be retrieved The
causes Of steady growth are more actively at
work now than at any time in the history OF
the town. New manufacturing interests are
springing up old ones are being revived
railroad facilities are increased, and the con
struction of both the new railroads is to
be Of constantly increasing benefit. Much
that was valuable has been destroyed but
that which is Of far greater value will soon
take its place. For the present we need to
let the Juices of the tree flow to the part
which has been wounded. II capital will be
content with humane rates Of interest; II
owners Of property will lend hand, as they
are disposed to do; il the Respondent look up
and look ahead; il our people forget the
present gloom in the ultimate adyantage-it
will not be long before the fire will be seen
TO be only blessing in disguise. Especially
will this be so, il, in replacing the old build
ings which have been burned, we avail our
selves Of the experience of the past, aud
make the new structures Of such materials as
arc able 10 withstand the fire. We have no
occasion to be discouraged. We shall touch
the ground only to rise stronger from the fall.
Our reporter has distributed his praise
with great liberality among the men who
did excellent service at the hose, and with
buckets and axes, in the very teeth OF
the fire. We do not wish TO detract any
thing from the really splendid work which
they did. But Of all the men who deserve
notice aud commentator for faithful and
noble work on the occasion, give us the pa
tient and steady heroes Of the brakes, who
forego the exciteneuts of the fire, for the
hard duty of braking at the engine Their
work is what tells, on such an occasion II
is the true, self-denying and saving work.
We give especial honor, then, to the fore
men Of the engines, and the sturdy men
who worked with them.

LOTTERY SwISDLE.-Several thousand
ticket holders in the late Louisville (Ky) H.
brary lottery have placed their coupons in
the hands of Col. Blanton Duncan, with in
structions to bring suit against the lottery
managers for breach of contract and TO re-
cover their money. This lottery has been
advertised extensively in this State, in viola
ton of the laws of the state Everyperson who
invests in lotteries deserves TO lose the money
he spends for tickets. They are all swindline
concerns. But people have so strong de
sire to get money without earning it, we sup
pose there will always be plenty to invest
in this and similar swindles.

NEW PRIsoN LAw.-The New York As
sembly has enacted a law which grants lib
erty to convicts sentenced to imprisonment
for life at the expiration of fifteen years of
penal servitude. The condition Of good be-
havior is, of course, made a precedent of the
operation of the law. When the news Of
this legislation was received in Sing Sing,
the convicts made all sorts of demonstra-
tons of their exultation. The provisions Of
the law are also extended to convicts under
