Law MakerS.--LaW Breakers

A lottery was advertised at Montpel-
Ter during the last session of the legis-
lature, in connection with a fair for the
benefit of the Capital Guards, prizes
estimated worth $4,000 were to be dis
tributed to the fortunate ones of the
ticket holders, and the tickets were
sold at two dollars each.
When the advertisements had been
posted the following remOnstrance was
presented to Capt. Goddard. eve
hereby express our regret that a lot
terry is proposed to be held in cOnnec-
ton with the approaching military
fair, and hope that this feature of the
entertainment, so much at variance
with law and public sentiment will be
abandoned" This remOnstrance was
signed by the Protestant ministers of
Montpelier, Rev Mr.. Southworth of
the Methodist Seminary, Hon. E. P.
Walton, Hon. J. II. Page, state treasu-
rer, and many leading citizens. The
remonstrance was disregarded, and the
lottery was drawn.
The Speaker of the House was pres
ent and took conspicuous part in the
proceedings. The Montpelier Daily
Journal of that date says "tbe drawing
of the prizes by Messrs. Fred Smith,
l.. Bart Cross and Speaker Martin, was
thoroughly impartial and satisfactory
By this course Mr.. Martin evidently
intended to say, I, the Speaker, pro-
pose to assume whatever of RESPONSE
bility is incurred by Mr.. Goddard in
breaking the law and setting at def
ance the best sentiment of the commu-
nifty. And now this same Mr.. Martin
is proposed for reelection as Speaker.

lature that no man who obeys the law
of the state can be found for this of

One More First Offence.

Last week States Attorney Baldwin
presented V. \. Spalding, landlord of
the Bellevue house, Newport. before
the court on the charge of selling liquor
contrary to law. Spalding was allow
ed to plead guilty to four first often
ces" paid his fines and costs and de-
parted. In making the record some
words occurred between Judge Pow
ers and Mr.. Baldwin, and if we are
rightly informed the Judge reprimand-
ed the states attorney sharply. He
told him if he desired to make such
record he could do so, but it must not
appear as record by the court, for to
his knowledge Mr.. Spalding had been
convicted of first offences ever since he
(Powers) was young man and COM
menced studying law. But the record
stands as made by the states attorney
first offence. 1t is not our desire to say
anything of this case for we know
nothing of it, or hold Mr.. Spalding up
as at all worse than other rumsellers.
The complaint is made, Spalding
pleads guilty and somebody evidently
the states attorney has the power to
fix the grade of the offence and amerce
the fine and costs. The law makes a
distinction in the offence as first, sec
Ond, third, and grades the penalty ac-
cOrdingly. We had supposed that the
main duty of the executive officers was
to count right and collect the fines.
The thing that most puzzles the people
Is the method of enumeration employ
ed in these cases. Is it Roman, Ara
bic, or does it come under the new
French metric systemP If some en-
tirely new method, it ought ut once to
be Incorporated into our text books so
that our children can learn it and our
business men be enabled to use it in
their calculations, for there must be
money IN it. We think friend Baldwin
should rise and explain. The people,
and especially the friends of the pro-
hibitOry law, have right to ask this
officer how he makes this first of
fence. Mr.. Baldwin, if we mistake
not, has had some official acquaintance
with Mr.. Spalding at Barton. What
were those offences called ? There
seems to he one now on the court dock
ct against this same Spalding, num-
bered Il second offence how pray is
this last first OtfenceP Does Fred
count backward? How long before
Mr.. Spalding or any other rum seller
will reach the house of correction as
intended by the law? We are told
the prohibitory law is failure, cannot
be enforced, is unpopular with the
masses and ought to give place to IA Ii
cense law. We would like to hear our
states attorneys opinion. The friends
of the law have IL right to demand of
their officers a faithful, honest dis
charge of duty and the strict, rigid en-
forcement of the law, and have a right
to demand an explanation in such
cases as this Newport Express.
