VINO WILL PAY THE BrLI.-Directly, the
draft riots OF 1868 cost the city of New York
$1,500,000. That is said to be the amount
actually paid out of the city treasury for da-
images inflicted. Indirectly, the loss was far
greater. After the assassination Of Abraham
Lincoln in 1885, certain excited newspapers in
San Francisco were obnoxious in comments
and were sacked by an Indignant mob, their
type thrown out OF the window and their ma
chinery destroyed. 1t cost more than 1t came
to, for the city was compelled 10 reimburse
every dollar Of the loss incurred. And when
we say the city paid, we mean that an inexo-
rable tax was levied on all humanity between
the cradle and the grave. The cradle was
not exempt. There is no human being, not
the yeriest tramp or panper or insane person,
who escapes taxation, and this whole destruc-
ton Of property must be made good, not by
the immediate sufferers but by the industry
of the people. The Pennsylvania Railroad
will bring suit and recover say SO, DOC, 900 da-
images from the county Of Allegany. The
county will assess that loss upon It's property
and the property will cut down wages, limit
expenses, shut off employment and economize
IN any way until the penalty falls where the
crime began. Labor will foot the bill, fbe-
cause labor is the final source Of wealth.

TEMPERANCE IN JERSEY CIry.--The tenn
perance question is before the Jersey City
Common Council. The advocates Of prohibi-
ton have taken the sensible course of first as
pertaining whether existing laws can be en-
forced. Out of 500 applications for license
received, 2l2 wero found defective by reason
Of the names of well-knowu citizens. of non
residents and Others already dead being forg-
ed thereon. The temperance men remon-
strated against any being issued except to
those whose applications conform to the law
In every particular. The aldermen had re-
ferred the remonstEance to Corporation Coun-
sci Albeit. President Of the State Senate.--
His opinion was read, and it referred the AL
dermen to Webster for the definition of the
words inn, tavern aud restaurant, and to the
city ordinance giving them power to license,
regulate or prohibit the sale of liquors, with
out giving them any advice. The Aldermen
decided to leave the licenses to the next meet
ing, when they say they will approve the
whole lot, leaving the settlement Of the mat.
ter TO the police aud courts. If any temper
ance measures can succeed in Jersey City uu-
der the present regime, there IS hope for the
yilest rnna- besotten city IN the Union.

known headquarters of distinguished army
officers at an exciting period Of the Revolu-

William Keith, at the foot Of the mountain,
was visited, to which Washington removed
from Trenton Falls on the 18th of December,
1776, for the reason, as he wrote Congress,
"to be near the main body Of my small army

Mr.. Carrot s. Bells Formerly of this
county, had a grand time on his farm in Hall
fax Co, N. c., recently. The Pioneer Agri-

there TO take look at his farm and examine

Three hundred persons were present, and
speeches were made by Gov. Vance, and 9TH
Ter State dignisaries who were present. A fine
dinner was not the least interesting feature
Of the days proceedings.
The great subject Of thought and con-
versasion during the past few days is the
strike and riots on the various railroads, In
our limited space it would be idle to attempt
we presume most of our readers have already
informed themselves Of all the details. 1t
is sufficient perhaps, to say that the out
break first commenced on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad at Martinsburgs West Va and
extended to all the leading railroads in the
country. followed by riots in Baltimore, Pitts
burg, Reading, etc, and resulting in great
destruction Of railroad property, particularly
at Pittsburg, where the loss is estimated at
three millions of dollars. A still more sad
result Of the riots is the great loss Of life,
particularly in Pittsburg The citizens Of
Pittsburg appear to have encouraged the
strikers until they were emboldeped to
destroy property apd take life recklessly.
They, as well as citizens Of other cities, win
not admire the mob spirit quite SO much when
the cost Of the expensive ontbursts are
assessed against them in taxes.
