STOCKTON LETTER.

March IL, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR Our great caucus is over
and our people feel themselves somewhat re-
lieved from the continued boring they have
been subject to, aud our promised would-be
freebooter no doubt has spent as much money
in trying to get the nomination for the Office
of freeholder as any honest man ought to
charge for years service. But he was the
smartest politician in the field, played his
card well, having given all the mechanics,
teamsters, quarrymen and the agents of de-
funct lumber concern the promise of labor,
aud tho furnishing material for bridges.
Enough labor and material has been engaged
to build more bridges than we expect to see
built next year.
To-day is our election. As regards the cam
didates on tho ticket we have nothing to saw.
but in regard to a certain item on the bottom
of the Democratic tickets for the purpose of
relieving our late tax-collector and his secur-
tiles from the payment of a certain amount of
tax that has very mysterously disappeared,
we do object most earnestly, Now, if this
said tax delinquent aud his securities had
oeen oh Tue othef slne, long ago the tax COL
ector would have been in State Prison and
his securities sold out by the sheriff, as there
is no difference between him and Bartlett
Dc not make fish of one and flesh of anoihei.
But the idea of few men voting ON the
sly to throw this burden back on the town
ship for honest men to pay next year, is
perfectly dishonest. just as well ask for
the relief of all tax responsibilities

A collision took place on the Pennsylvania
Railroad ut Fra.hford junction, on the night
of Monday of last week, between two freis hit
rams, which caused the death of two men,
and great loss To the company. A heavy
freight train from West Philadelphia, o.
which John Paxson was engineer, started
from West Philadelphia for New York. Pax
m proceeded to within half mile of the
Junction, where signal indicated no dam er,
and he went ON. Here there is down grade.
When be approached the Junction. he noticed
the signal there indicated danger, but his
tain was too heavy to stop. Another freight
rain was then coming out of Kensingtoti de-
pit and passing the Junction. PaxSon found
tut lie could not check his train and that q
,llision was inevitable, jumped off, and fl
on pile of rails, from which he slipped, wi Ii
both feet over the track. Both his legs we o
crushed. The fireman, named Chas. Coll,
also jumped off, and assisted in putting out
the fires of the engine, after the collision.
The engine Ct Paxson's train ran into Il o
cars of the Kensington. train. burning some of
them, and destroying considerable property
Paxson was taken to the Pennsylvania Hos

he died on the evening of "Wednesday. The

REPORT OF THE TELLER COMMITTEE
The report OF the Telisr Cummittee. made to
the Senate on Thursdays reviews the testi-
mony of ninety-one witnesses In Louisiana
and l07 in South Carolina. 1t states that
the frauds in South Carolina by the use of
tissue ballots extended TO every county IN
that State but one, aud that between thirty
and forty murders were committed in Louisi-
ana The committee in drawing their con-
clusion, say there appears to be widespread
determination in these States to restrict the
freedom of speech as to political questions,
upon the claim that the discussion of the re-
lation of labor to capital. employers TO en-
ployes, and other kindred subjects, is cacn-
lated to array the coored people against the
whites, and thus endanger the safety of the
people This determination is not authorized
by State enactments, but the Democrats who
attend the political meetings. not only of
their own party but also of the opposition,
are in the habit of refusing to allow the
speakers to discuss these questions in their
various forms Any reference to the condi-
tion of the colored people before the war, and
the causes that led TO the war, are condemn
ed as being of an incendiary character.

A SINGULAR INCIDENTAL lady, whose
name we withhold, living in this city, is the
possessor of large family bible, presented
to her by her parents on the day of her we'd
ding some thirty seven years ago. As the
volume was large and unwieldy, she has pre-
ferred a smaller one for reading purposes, and
as a consequence the larger one has not been
opened since she received it.
A few days ago she was impelled by some
irresistible influence, to open the book, and
upon so doing, the deeds and receipts for
property belonging to her mother fell upon
the floor.
The singular part of the affair is that on
the very next morning her mother died, and
in the settling OF the estate these papers were
very necessary Instruments, and the curious
manner in which they were Withdrawn from
their hiding place saves the executors a great
deal of trouble, as the property was at that
time in Hunterdon county, where the deeds
are recorded, as IS shown by the receipts, but
it is now part Of Mercer county, and no clue
could be gained by reference to the Mercer
county record - 1rs,aton State Gazette.

To sec this CARBoLISE.

False curls, and borrowed sheen,
And shake upon her shoulders plump,

And when our heads are covered Ger,
As once they were, weeu,
Well noise abroad the praises
OF wondrous CARDoLIEE.
While kneeling at the altar
With Father Good between,
Well call the world to witness
A match from CAROLINE.

When comes change of scene,
With little dear our hearts to cheer,
Well call it CARBoLIYs.

RELIEF TO THE PooR.-Our present sys-

not in conformity with the means and meth
DDS that are ting more successfully, and
doing more effectual good, in other sections,
and as THE RECORD has been called upon to
contribute its aid to circulate information con-
nected with this object, we copy from the
Phila. Ledger, of the 10th ult., the following ;
"The Phila Society for organizing Charit-
able Relief and REFRESHING Mendicancy make
the following report of the operations Of the
various ward organizations during the past
week Applications for relief 1853 OF these
rs were Migrants and non-residents 4; "a re-
ouired no relief /; "a were undeserviDg IL
gave false addresses relief was procured for
81 from Guardians of the Poor for 80 from
charitable societies and persons, and 1913 were
relieved by the ward associations.
Reports from majority of the central
wards concur in stating that fhe house beg
cling has very sensibly diminished, and thai
the houses where ouly investigation tickets
are to be had are well known by mendicants
and severely Stunned. Tramps have increas
ed somewhat of late, owing to the discharge
of a number from the House of Correction.

AROUND THE WORLD IN EIaHTY SEVEN
DAYS. Mr.. Blackfan, superintendent Of the
foreign mails. is in receipt of information
from Thomas G. Montgomery, Of Rochester,
N. Y, that a letter mailed there on the 9th
of last December has accomplished the circuit
of the globe in eighty-seven days. It left
San Francisco, December IL, Hong Kong,
January II, London, Feb. 90, and arrived
back to Rochester, March 6. This is the fast
est time on record, and probably the best OBJ
tainable without an acceleration of the speed
of steamships and locomotives on tho routes
traversed, the letter having exactly hit every
one Of the numerous connections.

SPRING VALLEY TAVERN. The tavern at
town Enterprise, is deserted, and no rum can
be bought there any more. When neighbor-
hood fees that it can get along without tav-
ern, and there is no travel to keep it up, it
will have to go down. We suppose this will
be about the way the temperance cause will
stop taverns. When q man cannot make a
living and pay $75 a year for two licenses to
SILL liqIor he will try to make living at
something for which he has no license to pay
We have in our minds eye several houses
that are slowly, though surely, approaching
that point. And when the point is arrived at,
better will it be for the man who keeps the
house and the neighborhood around him.
