Local Option for the State at large
has been defeated. How far the in
discreet demands. of its friends con-
tributed to this result we are not
now advised, but that the defeat was
in some measure owing to the indis-
cretions of its advocates we are pre-
pared to believe, as we are informed,
that clear legal majority in the
lower House are in favor of the pas
sage of some such law. We note
with pleasure that Messrs. Wilson
and Blocher voted in favor of the
bill and we trust that noW they will
endeavor to effect the enactment ola
law for Garrett county alone Let
us avail of the benefits of Local Op-
ton if the whole State goes for "free
whiskey."
In speaking of the defeat of local
option the Annapolis Gazette says:
AT the next election for members
of the Legislature the mighty tenn
perance avalanche will sweep over
the State from the lofty mountain
peaks of Garrett to the seagirt shores
of Worcester, and all the money of
the whisky dealers will not be able
to avert its onward course, and the
final triumph of virtue over licens-
ed sin. If whiskey and bad men are
much longer to rule in this State,
God have mercy on the poor people.

all the whiskey -guzzlers, stool-pig-

There are men keeping whiskey
shops and doggeries in our county
to-day that know better and ought
to do better. The decentralization
they produce is fearful in its results
and is as patent to them as it is to us.
They knowing the crime, distress
and poverty that their business fos-
tiers and promotes, cannot avoid the
responsibility Of direct participa-
ton in the crime. We are in earnest
in this matter, and we implore them,
if they are indifferent to the effect on
their own flesh and blood and their
own good name, that they will not
persist in helping to career of dis
grace and ruin the young men Of our
county and town, who now frequent
their saloons and shops.

from partisan favoritism as any we
are likely to obtain from the party in
power, and as change is earnestly
desired by our people, and as any
change, rather than the present sys-
tenn is desirable, we hope the pro-
posed bill will become a law.
1t seems to us important that the
present Indebtedness of the School
Board ought in some way to be pro-
vided for and our schools be opened
in every district. The present Board
and officials, will, we suppose, draw
their salaries for mo services" but
some way should be opened which
would render REPETITION of this
operation impossible, and this, we
believe, the new law will accomplish.

In our last issue we printed the re-
port of the committee appointed to
investigate the charges made against
Asa Matthews, Esq, late Examiner

that Mr.. Matthews accounts fully for
every cent placed in his care, and we
are glad to do him the justice of fully
generating him from any and every
appearance Of wrong.
While we are on this subject we
think it we'll to say that as far as we
can judge, the people of our county
favor the new law proposed by Mr..
Stump, of Hartford county, and now

Contrary to the general expecta-
ton, New Hampshire has gone Re-
publican. Governor Prescott has
been reelected, and the Republicans
will have majority of fifty in the
lower branch of the Legislature.
Notwithstanding the difference of
opinion as to the Presidents South

the necessity of preserving the party.

This arrangement will satisfy the Russian military without involving the occupation of COnstantinople.

The Texas and Pacific in Congress.

WASHINGTON, January 2j.-The Pa cific Railroad Committee of the House this morning heard arguments on the Texas and Pacific bill. MT. Storrs, for the Southern Pacific Railroad Com. pany, cOntended that the Texas Com. pany had not completed its railroad as the law required, and it was now com petcnt to adopt measures to secure its speedy completion. This could be more effeciually done by granting to the Southern Pacific Railroad to continue on east to the Rio Grande at Fl Paso and transfer so much of the former land grant as it should earn by so building He also claimed that the Texas Company had no right to build a railroad across California, not having the authority of that State. He also contended that the Southern Pacific had the right to construct bridge across the Colorado river, and the Texas and Pacific had not.

Another RObberyI No Arrests.

Two gentlemen, Mir. A. McQuarrie and Mr Peter Matthews were travel ing by private conveyance toward Tue son, on the 25th ultimo, about 10 o'clock a. m. they were overtaken by two mounted men three miles east of Picacho Station, halted and relieved of about $500 and a six shooter. This bold robbery in midday by unmasked men wears a more serious aspect than any previous outrage of this character. The authorities, station keepers and others are on the alert, and these of lenders will surely come to grief soon. We much regret that we have had oc- casion of late to publish frequent rob- berries by highwaymen, for until with Tn the last three months our section has been entirely free from this class of offenders.

No news of the signing of the treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey is yet received, although it is daily ex- pected. Russia is wholly master of the situation, and has succeeded in completely Outfanking England of in- tervention. The Russian arms are daily drawing closer to Constantinople, and Turkish arms are retiring to the fort resses of the Quadrilateral.
 Grand Duke Nicholas has arrived at AdrianOple where the peace condi- tions are to be signed.

He Can't Tell the Truth.

The telegraphic dispatches give an abstract of the annual report of Gen. Kautz commanding in Arizona, Tn which he says that the Indian Agents in that Territory owe their appoint ment to the contractors. The charge is absolutely untrue The Agents were nominated by the Boards of Foreign Missions of the Reformed and Presby- terian churches, upon testimonials from competent Christian gentlemen, who had no connection whatever with the contractors, who furnish the supplies. If the remainder of the report is as unfounded as this charge it IS entirely unworthy of the least consideration Christian Intelligencer.

1 found line at the end Of song,
Which keeps on haunting me oil day long

Sadder a burden could never be
Than Glove, my love, had you loved but me-
Few words and simple; but. o, how much

How hard story Of chances lost,
OF bright hopes blIghted and true love crossed,
Is heard in the whispered melody,

At one timeit was found more convenient to
clear the virgin forest, to strip its timber and
to bring the largest possible part Of 1t into
cultivation, than to improve the soil after it

lating and sending their surplus populations
towards the more Southern sections, although
1t could all have been avoided with 81 little
reasoning. Our twin crops have so mOnopO-

COwardIy and vOracOus, the gray wolf is an
arrant coward. While on the BraHO7 In 1878,

He charged three with strychniue and in tho
morning found five dead wolves three great
eagles were perChed upon the head and Shout
derS OF an imprisoned carcass. and two large
gray wolves were tearing the hams. The
eagles regarded the wolves with an evil eve
AT intervals the most powerful bird strOd"
over the carcass with OutStrotChed wings and
open beak. In an instant the wolves cringed
to the ground and skunk away with their
heads OV.r their ShOulde s like whipped ours
With the hair of their ncCks on end they fur
lively watched the lOrdly bird until he re-
turned to his comrades. Then, with avertnd

almost impossible for wolf to look any
thing in the face. He will hardly meet the

that when wolves have been paralyzed by
