W Almost Alone, +" Is Il Z

The West Chester Republican, printed In l
town described in the Encyclopedia Brit
tanica, as " one of the notable centres of |
scientific |. rning in the state" and among
people who upon the same authority are
the "most intelligent and virtuous in the
state," says:
The Lancaster INTELLIGENCER seems to
he possessed of a peculiarly vindietive spirit
public schools 1t fiercely attacks Mrs. Hunt
the energetic pioneer in the great reform
work, ridicules her book and endeavOrs to
bring the whole movement into contempt
This is strange attitude for an intelligent
editor to assume I'm these days of universal
recognition of the evils Of intemperance, and
is evidently the inspiration of evil-minded
enemies of society. To the credit Of the
press of our state Il can he said that the IN
TELLIaENCER stands almost alone i'm its un-
enviable position.
With such an eminent authority as the
West Chester Republican, of course one
must have great temerity to engage in dis
putation upon any question of science or
morals. And more particularly does the
combat appear uninviting and perilous
when the INTELLIGFNCER stands al
most alone in its unenviable position" 7"
Nevertheless, we beg to say to our esteemed
contemporary that we have occupied that
position before and have frequently come
to find it one of honor rather than of dan
| ger or disrepute.
To begin with, the INTELLGENCER is
not vindictive toward Mrs. Hunt, hel
bill or her book. 1t deals with no public
question i'm any such spirit and has ne
cause for any such feeling. Mrs. Hunts
law is impracticable, absurd and calcu
lated to hurt the schools, without doing TIN
slightest good to the cause OF temperance
Her book, written to fit the law, we hay
criticised because, being prepared avowedl
i to meet the laws demands, it is the bes
n exponent of the purposes of those VIII
framed the statute. Pretending to be
scientific work, it is unscientifc, .issu
: of misinfOrmation, ill-arranged and who'll
: bad. There is scarcely school district

Is the end cripple the cause of temperance
- for to that cause, as to many another goo
Us one, more harm is done by the superse
vccable zeal of its friends than by the a

DECATUR, TEX, Oct. 5.-Distrlct court

tlon to the cases of the State VS.. Ward,
convicted OF assault with intent to muir
der, wherein new trial was granted and
the bail liked nt $500; and the State VS.
Alex lIanshargcr, convicted on charge
OF stealing cattle aid sentenced to two
years In the penltentary, in which the
motion for new trial was oyerrulcd.
Defendant has taken an appeal. Hans
barger, 1t appears, is well known in sew
eral counties ms a claimant for stray
stock. He has been the subject of inquiry
from officers In different parts Of the
state, and they will no doubt DC inter-
ested In his fate. He has been under
surveillance for some time, but this Is tho
first charge that has ever been made to
stick. In this ease he made a strong
light, claiming that the steer which ne
handled belonged to him under a bill of
safe, or that II Il did not belong
to him, he was honestly mis-
taken in believing that Ii did.
The jury, however, toek another view of
the matter. They seemed TO think that
the bill OF sale was subierluge ON tho
part of Mr.. lIansharger, invented to
evade the law Consequently Alex now

MIR. Hopkins, of the fourth

questions put to him by the Judges and
the crowd that he did not know how to
reply: Witness was indignant, fol-
lowed the deputies, demonstrated and
was himself arrested. The old man and
himself were discharged at the United
States court, and by great effort he
persuaded the Old man to return and
vote. Witness produced two chemical
tickets and about twenty-five he discov-
cred at the polls during the day in the
