Mr.. EDIToR:-It must strike every observing
friend of good order and morality to notice the
strenuous efforts which the most notorious
rumsellers are making to defeat the Republic
can ticket, and particularly Mr. Bonney for
Municipal Judge. What animates these men
whose names are oftenest seen on the municip-
al court records? Why has the chief of this
pauper and crime producing crowd been SO ac-
tive in drumming un his recruits and attending
the courts to get naturalization papers? Why
is Gorham's corner so wide awake, and why
the little plague spots like Stafford's block all
over the city, sending up recruits TO City Hall
to have their names enrolled? 1t strikes me,
Mr. Editor, that no friend of good order can
view this organized effort of the slums to carry
the city government without feelings of the
most serious apprehension. Let the friends Of
law and order arouse themselves.
. GOOD ORDER.

THE RAILROAD TAX.
A Maine Central Director aud StOckhOld-
err take the characterization for an
Injunction Asked for in the U. y. Circuit
Court-Hcaring next Friday.

The railroad people have taken the initia
tive in the matter of the railroad tax. George
L. Ward of Boston prominent stakeholder
and director in the Maine Central Railroad
Company, yesterday filed a bill in equity in the
United States Circuit Court, to restrain the
Maine Central Railroad officers from paying
and the State Treasurer from collecting the tax
assessed by the Executive Council upon that
road. Judge Fox ordered notice for hearing
on Friday next if the engagements of the Court
will permit. The bill in equity is based on the
ground that the act imposing the tax is uncon-
stitutional as impairing the obligation of con-
tract. The complainant claim: that the char
ter of the Maine Central contains contract
which exempts the company's property from
this tax. Hon. j. III. Drummond is the attor-
ney for the complainant.
Marshal Marble went to Augusta yesterday
afternoon to serve the motto on the State Treas

IN GENERAL.
The Maine Farmer says that an unusually
large per cent. of the deaths that have occur
red during the past winter have been those of
Old people. The extreme cold weather of jan
uary and the first half of February has been
very trying to invalids, and especially to those
suffering with pulmonary diseases. There can
be no doubt that the great amount of sickness
that has prevailed is due directly to the long
continued, intensely cold weather of the past
two months.
