The same one signing himself Gusto, TAX
ing up the cause of liquor, and calling it = the
other side, insinuates that the no-license sys-
Gem, or temperance cause In Lanbertv1le5 is
driving farmers and producers from your city
with their trade. assert this is positively
FALSE know of only one man who ever talk
ed of such thing, and we don't think him
sharp. However, ! do know Of one farmer,
who thought he world try another market
this Winter. He took some butter all the way
to Philadelphia-had but twenty five cents Of
fered, brought 1t back to Lambertville and
sold 1t for "a cents per pound, cash. l wish
to know If Gusto means to say that a farm
err can do better WITH his produce II he takes
a drink Of whiskey when he comes to town ?
and If SO, whether it is to 10 taken before or
after he disposcs of his load
know of some farmers living within a
small circle of Lambertville, who tried trad
ing produce for whiskey. They were worth
their thousands then. Now they are pcnrt-
less, and it is easily To be seen they are on
q the other side" He talks Of the cause fail
ing. Why, Gusto, how stupid you are
don't believe you can point out single in
stance where temperance has taken a back
ward step. Fifteen years ago whfskey Was
used in nearly every harvest field Where Is
it now, .Gusto?' We allowed it to be sold
at every vendue. Where is it now, 'Gusto ? ;
We allowed it to be sold on every Sunday
Where rs 10 nows tGusto?' We allowed it ~
sold OH election days. Where is 10 now, Gus
to-? We also allowed it to be sold at every
cross road throughout the whole country -
Where are all those little hotels now, Gusto ;
Now sGusto,; ave you insane enough to
think that the use or sale of liquor could be
re-estab'shed in one single instance that
have mentioned? !" Not mucil.''
You think, no liquor, no trade, do you
Gusto.' We will see. Suppose we draw a
line Why don't You see, we would have on
our side a large majority Of the best citizens
A-no tipplers or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with
nearly all the large business firms in town,
with the proprietor of a certain big saw-mfi
for caption. Hurrah for our side. Sum up
yoar forces sGusto.' Pray don't be shocked
at those drunken men, who have spent their
money for rum and left their families in
destitute homes, crying for bread, without a
single blessing about them.

On the night OF the 18th inst. says
the Boror Miner, AN ARRAY occurred
at Benton between Robert Co,non and
Il. p. Robinson, during which A. w.
Abbott was instantly killed. From
statements made to us. the circum-
stances seem to be briefly as follows:
Ill feeling had existed between Com
on and Robinson for some time. On
the ni2ht of the affray Ccmon, being
then under the influence of liquor,
went into Dan. Asbley's saloon where
Robinson was seated. and said: Rob
inson, Pm going to lick you, and Pm
going to do it quick; but come up and
take a drink first" Robinson vent
up to the bar and drank with him.
Comon in the meantime Keeping his
hand on the hilt of lis pistol. AS soon
as the drinks were taken, he drew the
pistol and attempted TO fire at Robin
son. At this moment Abbott caught
Comon's arm and threw the pistol up
so that the ball went into the ceiling.
upon which Abbott and others elected
Comon from the house and turned to
re enter, when a pistol shot struck Alb
bolt, passing directly into his heart,
and killing him almost instantly. Ash
ley dragged the body into the house
and left The comhatanis still fighting.
When he found that Abbott was dead
he went to the door and found that
Robinson and Comon were both gone.
They were subsequently arrested. Alb
bolt was a highly esteemed citizen, and
many regrets are expressed at his I'M
timely taking off.

brief synopsis of Davenport's evidence,

EXCEPT CUSTOMS DUTIES AND
INTEREST ON THE PUBLIC
DEBT"


DEBIT"
This fatal exception he's formed the
conclusion of every proposition thus
far introduced into Congress for the
ostensible purpose of "eimproving the
currency " and leading the way to
"specie payments" 1t may be as
sumed at the outset as a fixed fact, that
no measure embracing this fatal pro-
viso, will either improve the currency
or lead to resumption. 1t is by the
repeal and not by the perpet-
uation of the partial reputation
which these words import, that an i'm
provement of the currency and the in
auguration of specie resumption are
possible. Be the currency what it
may = greenbacks, interest : bearing
p~ost-notes, silver, "golaid, silvaid," or
any other conceivable product of the
printing press or Of the mint; brand
1t with the words of exclusion at the
head Of this article-words indicative of
q singular compound Of reputation,
dishonesty and financial folly-and
you but give the country precisely the
same currency that it already possesses
"a currency fearfully deprecated, be-
cause dishonored, and partially repu-
dated by its very makers in refusing
to receive in payment of specified
class of public dues. Until the Gov
eminent consents to receive its own
promisory notes in payment of its own
dues, it will make no real progress in
the needed work of improving the cur
rency and Fastening the day of general
resumption. All schemes for the ac-
complishment of these great ends,
without recognizing and acting up to
this first duty of an honest debtor, are
but delusive expedients and dishonest
shams.

Jim Keene, among others, made
a speech after the laying of the
cornerstone of the brokers' new

there was no cause for apprehension in
consequence of the present decline in
stocks. That the Com>tock was a.
good to day as ii ever was, and that the
depreciation was attributable TO undue
initiation. He stated that stocks were
only settling down to their proper lev

have a chance to make some invest
