who are successors of Ether Shepley, John
s. Tenney and John Ware as trustees of the
$1,loOOo0 mortgage give.by the Androscog-
gin and Kennebec railroad in 1850. to secure
a loan of that amount. These bonds run
thirty years and have now matured. The
Maine Central. which by the various con-
solicitations, became responsible for the pay
ment of these bonds, deposited with trust
company in Boston enough collateral to
take care of these bonds when they became
due. But several of these old bonds, enough
to amount to Ss4O0, have not been pre-
sented. In the thirty years since they were
issued they may have been lost. burned,
stolen or tucked away into forgotten COR
ners. At any rate, they have not been pre-
sented. and of course the Maine Central has
not been able TO lay and cancel them. This
being the case, the mortgage is net fully
paid and still remains TO cloud the title of
the road. Therefore the railroad pray that
the trustees may be authorized to discharge
the mortgage in manner authorized by law.
and accept in lieu of the lost bonds other
Maine Central bonds as security for the
payment for the outstanding bonds
1t is a purely friendly and formal matter
made necessary by the fact that the lost
bonds have not been presented. These
bonds are:

a Pointed Talk by Bro. Boone to Chris
tiaU Voters


/ suppose no intelligent person dis
putes that the DIST section of the Ma
tional Democratic platform favors the
sale and use of whisky; and as it NOR
ally certain that no one will be allow
ed to be candidate for office by that
party unless he unequivocally endorses
the platform as IL whole, ] want esspec-
tally the Christians to know that to
east their vote for whisky party, is
to vote for "a whisky man; that to vote
for such men is to have whisky laws,
and to be cursed by the evils of intern
pcrance.
If no drunkard can inherit the king
dom of Ileaven-if it be WOE unto
him that givcth his neighbor drink,
that puttest thy bottle to him, and
maketh him drunken That to
whom ye yield yourselves servants to
obey, his servants ye are to vote for
the liquor interest is, / fear, to be
equally in danger with the drunkard
and drunkard maker. To vote in the
interest of whisky is to be placed hope
lessly in the attitude of no escape
from punishment, for every sin will be
punished here or hereafter. The vo-
tiers for the liquor interest need not
hope to escape by the mere "Mercy
of Cod for he is just also. To pray
e., nd nd TO inty lxy
knowingly. is dire nonsense, for holy
his ear from hearing the law even his
prayer shall be abomination."
My brethren, you ought to say indi-
EQUITY in my heart, the Lord will not
gard for old party ties, mot love for
vote for the Internal liquor traffic.
God is not hearing them, and their
love for sin has brought the troubles
upon us.
If God does not hear you because
you Regard iniquity in your heart"
how can you believe God will fail to
Reward every man according to
his works.?
Voting wrong is dangerous. The
remedy is LET the wicked forsake his
way, and the unrighteOus man his
thoughts; let him return unto the
Lord, and he will have mercy upon
him; and to our God, for he will album
dainty pardon"
Hate and forsake your sins, breth-
rem, for you will be better for it. May
our blessed Lords dying prayer, in
which he prayed for like oneness
between brethren, as there was be-
tween him and the Father be answered
for all Christians.
Then we will all vote ''The National
Prohibition party ticket" May God
bless all of our enemies, if we have any.

THE IAHIFF MIDDLE

The political sensation Of the week
has been over the tariff bill pending
before Congress for the past seven
months. As is we'll known to the read
ing public, what is known as the VIII
son tariff bill passed the House over
three months ago. among other things.
placing sugar. coal and iron ore on the
free list. Six hundred and thirty four
amendments were tackled on to the
bill by the Senate, the most vital Of
these being the placing Of duty OF
40 per cent. ad valorem on all sugars,
differential duty of Of cent per
pound additional on refined sugars,
with 40 cents per ton on iron ore and
coal. The bill, thus amended, went IN
to the hands of conference commit
tee Of the two houses, to reconcile their
differences. For two weeks, the Dem
ocratic members, who constitute ma
iority of the conference committee,
have been endeavoring to do
this. They finally agreed to disagree
and report the result to their respec-
tive houses 1t was last Thursday
when Chairman Wilson, Of the Ways
and Means committee, reported this
disagreement to the House and had
read, with the Presidents consent. a
personal" letter from the President
to him Mr.. WILSON, dated July
2nd endorsing the Wilson bill and con-
deming the action Of the Senate, that
the sensation occurred.
Mr.. Cleveland holds that one of the
cardinal principles of the Democratic
party on the tariff is that all raw ma
terials are to be placed on the free list
and that to yield to the action OF the
Senate would be a betrayal of Demo
cratic principle and a reputation
Of party pledges which the party can
not, in honesty and good faith, consent
to. He further expresses the opinion
that to betray this principle, as the
Democrats of the senate propose to
do in order to favor certain cOmbina-
tions of capital, will be death-blow
to the Democratic party from which it
cannot rally.
The reading of the letter was start
ling surprise, and it is resented by
nearly every Democratic Senator, not
only as an impeachment Of their De
mocracy, but an unwarranted attempt
of the executive to trench upon the
legislative department Of the govern
ment. Senator'S Harris, Jones, Vest,
German and other Democratic Sena-
tors say the concessions in the bill
which the President now 50 strongly
condemns were agreed to with his full
knowledge and approval, as the best
that could be done under existing cir
cumstanccs, and, by implication they
charge Mr.. Cleveland with acting in
bad faith and trying to unload on
the Senate to shield himself.
The House has instructed its con
ferees to stand by the House bill, and
up to last night the Senators we're
still talking and had not acted. Alto
gether 1t is the most serious family
row" by odds the Democrats have yet
had. and may result in the defeat of
all tariff, legislation at the present SEES
sion.

WEssoN. MISS, July %, 1871
Editor Mississippi Leader:
Last Thursday night the young men
of Wesson gave a delightful banquet
in honor of the faculty and teachers OF
the Wesson Normal The teachers we're
all honorei with an invitation and com
pIimentary ticket. Both the brass
and string bands of Wesson furnished
delightful music. which added much to
the enjoyment of the evening.
We then had an address of welcome
by Mr.. J. W. Armstrong, followed by
music. After this, beautiful recita-
ton by Miss jamie Garner, followed by
song by Messrs. NewsOm and Lyle.
Next. was a recitation by Miss May
Sexton. that charmed the audience, fol-
lowed by solo by Miss Kate Thomp-
son. Miss Lizzie Purser then very
gracefully recited Naughty Zell,
which was followed by "Dago song"
by Messrs. Armstrong and Wilson.
Then. Miss Eleanor Mellen recited Il
wish | wuz a man." which drew the at
tention of the audience so completely
that all eyes were upon her. After a
song by four gentlemen, "1our neck
tie is up behind" we had an eloquent
speech by Prof. Garner in behalf of the
teachers of the Wesson Normal; and
also a brief sketch of the Public School
system, since it was first established up
to the present date. Mr.. Armstrong
then made very funny speech, in
which he told of the nice times the
young men of Wesson had had since
the arrival of the young lady teachers;
and as he said, on behalf of the young
ladies of Wesson to the young men at
tending the Normal, 'Wesson had
been place of perfect bliss since their
presence here"
Refreshments were then served, and
until l o'clock the crowd enjoyed the
festivities of the occasion. Great is
the praise of the gallant young men
of Wesson, and that night will long be
remembered favorably by the many
teachers throughout the State.
This is the last week of the Normal,
and it promises to be the most inter
esting of them all Supt. Preston ar
rived here Saturday evening and gave
us a nice talk on education. He will
remain the entire week.
Prof. Anderson, our able instructor
in United States and Mississippi histo
ry and Civil Government, finished his
general review on the above studies
and left for his home Sunday.
Mr. Milledge. our "cute" little Prof.
of Botany, Physics and Geography.
gave us a magic lantern show last Fri
day night, with geographical and his
torical scenery, here and there inter
spersed with few comic pictures,
among which was the ancient Jack
and the Bean Stalk"
Mrs. Grants IS primary pupils are
progressing finely.
Next Friday at II o'clock NJ. the
Normal will dismiss its many teachers,
greatly benefited and improved by the
four weeks spent here. Our kind and
estimable faculty will ever be remem-
bered throughout the State by the
many teachers who attended the Sum
mer Normal
