HONG KONG, Nov. 30.-The French
forces, on Nov. IA, attempted to drive

passage. 1t is reported that there is an
outbreak OF plague among the men of
the French fleet.

Our City Justice.

A great deal Of fault has been
found with the City Council and the
undIsmazed" for not enforcing the
prohibitory ordinance. The City
Council were not fools enough to
undertake to enforce the city ordin-
ance through a county justice court.
They had either little more sense,
or more honesty than those crafty
advisers who would have plunged
them into such a quick-sand.
The difficulty was, there was grave
doubt as to whether they were leg.
ally able to reach any court, as
matters were, under the preliminary
organization. That we'll ballas:ed
gentleman who SO kindly relieved
the would-be goods" of a cool
hundred, for little legal buncomb
on his part, was good enough to as
sure the temperance men of Mon
tesano, that Mr.. NJ. +. Luark was
in no wise a justice of peace; and
he may have believed he was wise in
the law. One thing is certain: he
succeeded in soaring the City Coun.
cal out of all thought of trying to
prosecute offenders against city or
dnances before Mr.. Luark.
We expect to publish, next week,
an article showing conclusively that
MI. Luark is the City Justice OF
Montosano, in law and in fact.

The action of the County Commits

Na.dron brothers, N the face of the

Mont"sano. is very ably defended by
ih" "i7ts. but | ain bound to diffe,

coming up from kalama, involves q
very different question from the one
That tins case presented to the Com

OF the license conferred any rlghl
upon Waldron brothers to sell liquor
IN Mon,esano, was to assume that
the Commissioner had full license
powers in the city, which was simply
nulhhcation of the authority of the
City Council. To grant the license
and receive into the county treasury
the amount Of the license fee, when
the license conferred no rights what
ever on the licensees, was simply
fraud on the part of the County

LEGALITY OF PROHIBITION IN Mon
rEsASo Many persons OF consider.
able information have expressed
doubts as to the validity of the pro.
hibi,ion ordinance in Montesano
upon the general grounds of conflict
with general laws, &c. w. H.
White. leading lawyer of Seattle
writing in the Mirror on the subject
Of the powers Of the Common Coun.
ellis Of the cities to deal with the
liquor question, says amcng Other
things: Il" The city of Walla Walla,

altogether, have power to prohibit

Again, he says OF charters; "Where

clearly that our City Council can

The Soaring Dodge.

Ca Of the bug.a-boos held up
before the people of Montesano to
frighten them into acquescing in the
demand for license, is, that the City
crel lit will be swamped by expen-
sive litigation. Among other things
we are assured that If cases are tried
before tbs city justice, and the offend
,rs are convicted they will appeal!
Will our astute lawyers, who are
so Jealous in earning their fees from
the I" Whisky Beast" please to tell
us where they will appeal to? The
city justice Of Montesano is neither
more nor less in point OF fact than a
police Judge. Now will some of
these clever fellows just cite US to an
authority that tells US where and
how IN appeal is taken from a po-
lice court decision? There is O
chance for some " limb" to either
immo,,alize himself, or-show his
ears.

HENRY WARD BEECHER'S SYLE..

HENRY WARD BEECHER's SYLE.-
You recollect how the South gushed
over Beecher's Reconciliation" senti-
ments, and how he made it pay by
drawing large crowds to his lectures in
Southern cities. Now hear him -
What ridiculous and monstrous
folly it would be to leave the Republic
can party because it is yet blinded with
protection, and 90 over to the Demo-
cratic party, that has coquetted with al
most every evil which the war has swept
away. and which has not yet shown
that it had learned a single lesson from
the grand struggle Of the last twenty
five years! 1t has no faith in itself, no
unity in measures, no wise leaders. 1t
has learned to construct platforms and
then to run away from the only wise
planks in them. Courageous outward
and cowardly in deeds, what am / ask
ed to do To go over from the Repuh-
lican party, which has the courage Of its
opinions, TO one that avows free trade
principles. and then plays comedy in
Congress in carrying out their preten-
tions reforms that has no leaders that
dare lose in a good cause or suffer for
their principles! When some bold ad-
vocate of free trade arises among them,
like Watterson, he is knitted by his own
compatriots. When the Democratic
party shall have a mission of liberty, as
it had in Jetf'erson's day, or even in
Jackson's-but to mention these names
is to throw ridicule upon the name of
Democracy. When Samson had slept
in tie arms of Delilah he had the grace
of suicide given him. But Democracy,
that lost its virtue in the bosom of sla-
very, blind and feeble, yet prefers to
grind in the prison house rather than
seek an honorable death.

THE DRAGGLED END OF A ROMAN
TIC TALE.-Three years ago the noted,
perhaps we might say notorious, Cover
nor Charlie Foster, of Ohio, had a Sec
retary named Gen" Fred Mussey,-a
noted waver of the crimson colors of
Sherman's country. Miss Annie Foster
fell in love with him down to the ground.
The wedding was one of the most
brilliant ones ever known at the capital.
Gen. Sam +. Hunt was the groom's
best man. All remember how the truly
gentle Annie leaned upon the arm of
her father as the bridal party entered
the church and the Governor gave away
his daughter. There were congratula-
tions by Senators. members of Con-
gress, and others. One of the finest
presents came from Mrs. Garfield, with
a letter to the bride wishing her much
Joy. They took trip to Europe, but
there was trouble and an aching heart
before they boarded the steamship.
The bride was left alone in her room in
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. New y York, un-
til 3 o'clock in the morning, while the
groom was out with old friends.
1t was common talk in Columbus al
ter their return that they did not seem
to be so much attached to each other as
before the marriage. Mr.. Mussey sell
dom spent the evening at home. He
was generally to be found at the hotels
or restaurants, and Mrs. Mussey went
to parties with her sister. This became
the town talk among society people in
Columbus. Mrs. Mussey, finding that
she could no longer live happily with
her husband, left him forever a few
weeks ago, and sought the seclusion OF
her fathers house in Fostoria.

Defends the Dutch Nets.
MANTEo, y. c., April Il, 1884.

This is the first time | ever attempt
ed to correct an article in newspaper,
but feeling that some one should cor
rect the letter published in your columns
headed Increase the Catch" ] must
make the attempt The scarcity of fish
in our waters seemed to be alleged 10
pound. or dutch nets. Now, I'm sixty
two years old, was raised fishing, and
have had all chances of observing the
nature and habits of fish from boyhood
to the present, which observations have
taught me there are failures in the
catch of fish as in any other enterprise.
As proof of this we will look back forty
or fifty years, when a fishery known as
Frying PAM on the Alligator river
caught herrings enough to supply North
Carolina, and at present there is no
seine hauled at that point, owing to the
total abandonment Of it BY fish; also
East Lake, North River, and many
other points. At that time pound-nets
were not known in this State. The
truth is, fishing, as any other branch of
business, fails at times, and men seek
ing for a cause always get something to
affect the poor man. 1t is amusing to
a man taught by experience to hear one
of education, not knowing 4 good fish
when seen, bring up causes for the fall
ure of fish, after filling all the ponds,
rivers, and lakes with fish, and making
them so plentiful that any farmer can
dip them up at his own door, and at the
same time fish make the greatest fail
ures since the war. You will remem-
Der that there are not points in our wa
ters for one man in five hundred who
lives by fishing to establish seine fish
cry, provided they all had the capital to
do so; still they all preach against
monopolies.
If you think proper you can publish
this, and you can have plenty more
reasons for failure in fishing.
Respectfully, l. c. MEEKINs.
