printer is paid promptly, and his pocket
book kept plethoric by prompt paying, he
puts his pen to his paper in peace, his para

BURNIEG OF THE EI.KTON FoUNDRY.-

Church, ard soon the cry of - fire! fire.
northwest part of the town, which had
caught fire few minutes before and was
rapidly being consumed.
1t was luilt about ten years ago, and is
believed to have accidentally caught fire
from the cupola used in melting the iron
preparatory to casting, at which the fouh-
drymcn had been engaged a few minutes
before Mr.. ChaS. II. Smith, the proprie
tor OF this branch of the business, fearing
some accident Of this kind, had carefully
scrutinizcd the building about ten minutes
before the fire was discovered. Owing to
the flames being famed by slight south
very short time. although every exertion
was made by the citizens of the town to
save the building, part of which was oc-
cupIed by J. F. Chick as a wheelwright
and tools were saved.
The building was owned by jeremiah
Isittenhouse and benjamin Lair, who have
an insurance of 200 upon it in the
+'"rn""S' Mutual Fire Insurance Company
of Delaware.
The foundry business was carried on by
Mr.. Chas. II. Smith, an industrious young
man, who rented the building from the
owners last Spring. But very little of the
property was saved, and although he has
an insurance Of $500 upon it, his loss will
be quite heavy.
We take this occasion to again call the
attention of the Town Commissioners to
the very inadequate provision made for
extinguiShing fire in this town. Many
towns avail themselves of the advantages
of the Holly system for this purpose
The clcSeness of our town to the river
makes that system of easy application
here. Our neighbors in Port Deposit have

ourselves with two miserable old rickety
engines that seem to be kept for the pur-
pose of caricaturing the age in which we
live rather than for any other use. Prac
tcaiiy, it would be well for the town if
they and the diiapdated old house iii which
they are kept were consumed.

The Lottery Prosecutions.
[Richland Beacon.l


Act No. Of 1874 one of the many acts
passed for the benefit of the Louisiana State
Lottery, Is clearly unconstitutional, because
it confers upon committing magistrates pow
ers which the constitution expressly says
they shall not exercise; power to fine and i'm
prison any person for the sale in this State
Of lottery tickets other than those Of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company, from
which the defendant has no appeal so that
such a case cannot be properly brought before
the higher courts for q decision as to the
constitutionality of the act. Several parties
have recently been arrested and brought be-
fore the city recorders Of Louisiana under
this act. Recorder Miltenberger took what
we consider the right view Of the matter-that
the Legislature could not confer upon him
powers which the constitution forbds his ex-
ercising; and while he did not claim the priv
ilega of passing upon the constitutionalty Of
the act. he did claim the right to refuse to
violate the constitution which he is sworn to
support, by exercising authority that is for
hidden by the constitution.
Recorder Smith, on the other hand takes
the position that he has no right to decide
~pon the constitutionaity of the act, and that
he has to enforce the act just as he finds it.
OF the two recorders it strikes US that Mr..
Miltenberger has far the soundest and most
reasonable views of this matter. While a
magistrate may consider that he has not the

was no question before the court of the com
