| Editor New Orleans Democrat
| Our city is about to make q stand
against Victoria, Woodruff, (who is adj
vertised to lecture here on next Satur-
day). and the pernicious doctrines she
| advocates. Great excitement on this
subject has been occasioned by the &C
| ton OF one Of our most respectable Al
dermen, Judge Geo. w. Stone. On last
Monday night, at a meeting OF the City
Council, the Judge offered an amend
ment to the city. ordinance requiring o
license for public lecturers. This pro-
posed amendment was q clause prohib-
ting any one. under severe penalties,
from lecturing on any subject involving
the advocacy OF free love, or any other
doctrine inimical TO the saeredness OF
the marriage laws. While some adyo-
cate the doctrine Of free speech on all
occasions as being the right Of all
American people, others regard the idea
as good. but Tear that II will be OF
more service to MIS-. Vic. as an ad-
vertisement than injury as ? rebuke, as
ii may put her in the enyiabie light Of
q prosecuted woman, while 20 their
infinite credit the majority fully in
dOrse judge stones action as manly
defense Of virtue against an attack OF
vice In its most insidlous shape. The
good old Judge will insist On his amend
mert. no matter what opposition, Rpd
the CITY Council can find no excuse Tor
refusin1 to adopt 1t. OF course a howl
will 20 up from Vic and her band upon
this amendment becoming the law OF
Montgomery, and this city will ever al
ter be tabooed and execfat1d place TO
them, But we shall endeayor 20 stand
1t. II will be something at least TO nave
the reputation OF being the one city that
had the courage 10 publicly rebHke tne
ism, that are spreading themselves 80
rapidly over our country.
Our political horizon Is very serene.
The Legislature Is still hesitating over
the Centennial bill, which seeks small,
d pery small. appropriation, for the pur-
pose Of having Alabama properly repre-
sented at Philadelphia, at the Exhibi-
ton. We have, however, one Of those
economical spasms, that occasionally at
tack individuals aud nations. Diligent
efforts are being made TO secure Spen-
GERS expulsion from the United States
Senate, and there will most certainly pc
eridence ia plenty to attain that opJect.
The Probate Judge OF this county, an
importation from New England, has OBJ
tanned leave OF absence for week TO 80
to Washington, p0luntar5ty to testify
against the unfortunate sutler. Yea
even his own familiar friend, In whom
he trusted (the solicitor for this county,
has turned against him, Our, perhaps
CD over wise and generally over cautious
Governor has employed the Hon. John
T. Morgan. Of Selma ia man whose dis
Interested patriotism is as well known

ments Of office, TO represent the State

ELEVENTH Hour LIEs.-The fol-
lowing from the Grass Valley Union
will do to gamble on as a truthful pre-
diction: "The Associated Press dis
patches will be full of lies from this
time untii the day Of election, and even
on the day of election the lies will be
sent, fast and furious, by the lightning.
The election Will begin in New Yerk
some three hours and a half before it
does in this State, and the Associated
Press will be busy in sending news
here, with the object Of having an in
fiuence on the election in this State.
Yon can just bet your bottom dollar
that that same Associated Press will
commence to lie in the afternoon of
next Tuesday, and will continue to lie
until shutdown of that day. All good
people should remember that the tele-
graph intends to lie on the day of cleo
ton, and all good people should vote
for Tilden, Hendricks and Reform"

James Hume, says the COso NeWS
detective for Wells, Fargo & Co., was
here during the week hunting for q
Z. connecting link" 10 the robbers of
the stage, on the 18th instant, heal In
dim Wells. He seems to think he has
struck it, for he sends back a warrant
for the rearrest at Fred. Gillette, who
was tried here in Justice McManus'
Court on the l7tl instant, but dis
charged. As there was no eridt nee
against him. 1t is now claimed that
ne robbery WAS cOrimi ted in keru
county, and consequently the authori-
ties here acted illegally. and Gillette
will have to stand another interview
ing before a Kern County Court.
Hume seerns to be almost omnipres-
EN-, for we see accounts of his arrival
and departure in numerous places,
from Salt Lake City t San Francisco,
on or about the same day.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment of the District Court in EN-
fencing Peter Larkin to death. Larkin
murdered a man named Daniel Corco-
ran in a very cowardly manner on
South G street, Virginia, a year ago last
August. He has been in prison for
fifteen months. During Larkin's trial
before Judge Rising, his counsel, Mr..
Bronson, took no less than $50 excep-
tons 10 the rulings of the Court. All
the exceptions have been overruled,
and Larkin must die at the end of IA
rope. Very few will regret the result
of the application for a new trial. The
man murdered his victim III cold
blood.
The latest reports from Ogden say
the small pox is still spreading in that
city. There is no pest house, and the
yellow flag is visible al the door of
many private residences, and it is he
lieved it will take months to rid the
city Of the loathsome disease, unless
the authorities adopt new sanitary
measures, and remove the afflicted
rom the principal streets.
At a meeting Of the Board Of Direc.

SPECIAL TO THE "SENTINEL."
-Four German Republican Clubs
Gone Over to TiIden
and Hendricks!
POOL BETTING IN NEW YORK.
Tiiden Has the Call.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.
The remnant of four Republican
German Clubs disbanded last night.
The clubs were organized early in
the campaign, but the members kept
gradually deserving to the enemy I'M
til not more than one third remained.
The action last night vas the result OF
a vote taken separately in each club.
A small minority will probably sup.
port Hayes and Wheeler, but more than
three fourths Of the ex members have
declared their intention of voting for
Tilden and Hendricks. This deser
ton from the Republican party is at
tribuIable to the belief that Governor
Hayes, if not a member, is at least in
sympathy with the order known as
the American Alliance.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.
At Morrissey's and Chamberlain's
pool-rooms, last night, the betting ex-
element was greater than at any time
since the commencement of the CAM
paign. On the general result, Tilden
sold for 5000 to Haye. Sl45 during the
first part OF the evening, although
later Hayes came up to Sl55 and $3.50.
Pools on New York sold: Tilden,
500 TO Hayes $50. There were a few
sold on Pennsylvania, Hayes having
the call at 500 to Tilden's $S5. At
Morrissey's quite a number were sold
on Wisconsin and Indiana, the former
State selling about even and the latter
Tilden Sl00 to Hayes $50.

LETTER FROM MR. MCLAUGHLIN.
RUBY HILL, Noy. 5th, 1876.


EDITOR SENTINEL: As understand
there is some misconception as to my
views on some of the topics now &C.
cupying public attention, allow me
through your columns to express
my opinions for the consideration of
the voters of this county.
As 70 the school question, l have
always been opposed to any division
of the funds Or even the introduction
of the Bible into the public schools, as
[ consider it would cause discussion
and discussion. I think the proper
place for religious education is by the
parents, assisted by their clergyman,
in the homes and temples and
churches built and dedicated for that
purpose. / trust Congress will at
its next session settle this question,
and not have it again dragged into the
political arena.
Since | received the nomination for
the Assembly, many have said to
me: There is nothing in it; there is
no United States Senator to be elect
ed" Others: "Oh, yes; Flood &
O'Brien will try to have the bullion
tax repealed" There is something
significant in this, but not for me.
Should the people conhde their trust
in me t represent them in the Legis-
lature, | will endeavor to discharge
the duties honestly and faithfully.
With reference to the bullion tax, / be-
lieve it is fair and just and should be
maintained as it is until such time as
a general reduction of taxation or all
other classes of property is rendered
advisable. | am in favor of fair liv-
ing salaries for worthy officials, be-
lieving this to g the surest method
of securing and retaining honest men
in office.
! would like to see our young
county placed on a cash basis at the
earliest practicable moment, and as a
step in that direction, / pledge my
self, in case of my election, to do all
in my power towards the consum,
nation Of the movement inaugurated
by Senator Cassidy to give to this
county, with it's $500, 600 of taxable
property, that portion of territory
commonly denominated "the Min
eral Hill strip"
l think the Legislature of this State
should direct the attention of Congress
to some of the imperfections of the
Congressional mineral land law. The
mode of obtaining United States pat
ents should be cheapened and simpli-
fled, in the interest Of the prospector
and capitalist alike. The provision OF
the law relating to protests is especially
