The following circular which has been
sent broadcast through the State tells its
own story.
Dear Brother This circular letter is
addressed to the pastors of churches in
New Jersey in order to "stir up their minds
by way of remembrance" of the vote which
is to be cast on the 18th of next September
upon the anti-race track amendment to the
Constitution, which is now submitted by
the legislature to the people for their APP
prevail or disapproval
The crisis in the long battle against the
race track gambling element, which 90
recently dominated and disgraced the
State, is at last reached. The enemies of
the proposed amendment are lying in
ambush at present, counting upon the
apathy and over-confidence of its friends
to take up by surprise at the polls and
win victory " hich will result in the un-
doing Of all that has been accomplished
against them.
We have good reasons for believing that
determined and desperate effort will be
made to defeat this amendment. There is
no less reason to fear that, unless the
friends of this measure are thoroughly
awake to the danger and prepared to mar
shall their forces in full strength at the
appointed time this effort may be successful
Our success up to the present point has
been gained very largely through the
efforts of the pastors Of our churches, with
the cordial cooperation of the press of the
State, in informing the people and arousing
them to concerted action against the
iniquities of race track gambling. We
turn to you again in most urgent appeal
that you will not relax one iota in your
interest and vigilance in this question Of SO
momentous importance to the civil and
moral interests Of New Jersey. One more
determined effort, dear brethren, and by
the help of God, victory, final and complete,
will be ours. We are only asking of you
now tnat you keep this issue, in full
realization of its Importance, upon your
minds and hearts.
1t is our present purpose to issue
circular appeal to the people to be read
from the pulpit shortly before the day of
casting the vote, to the meantime may we
not urge upon you to do what you can in
any way which commends itself to your
Judgment. to make this living issue
with the people, lest peradventure by a
fatal apathy this glorious opportunity to
safeguard our homes and the fair name of
our State for all the future shall be
irretrieyably lost? Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty"

Honolulu, May 24.-The Hawaiian
government on the Sd inst. formally
refused to renew the exclusive cable
contract awarded to q. s. Spaulding

the first of the present month. The

FROM the day The Government gave the
contract to remove Smiths Island, great
scows have been dumping the dredgings
along the Jersey shore all the way from
Howell's cove TO Bombay Hook, with the
result that the river channel is made SO
shallow in many places that it must be
deepened; the mouths of the many naviga.
bic streams in New Jersey are almost closed
and the valuable fishing grounds along the
Jersey side of the Delaware have been
almost ruined. 1t is worthy of note right
here, that none of this refuse has been
dumped on the Pennsylvania or Delaware
side of the river. Our Congressman and
the Governor have been petitioned and
begged to have this obstruction of our
rivers and fisheries stopped, but to no pur-
pose. Now, we understand, engineers are
surveying the channel, preparatory to
deepening it, and there will be more dredg-
ing, and more big contracts and profits for
the dredgers.-
The common sense way Of doing this
business is to place the dredgings on fast
land. Build out the river fronts at Cam
den and Philadelphia, or dyke in the low
lands all along the Delaware. But such
course would endanger the profits of the
dredgers, and we are told that dredgers
have powerful influence.

Ont in Urbana, Ohio, on Friday last, q
negro, convicted of criminal assault on a
society lady of the town, and sentenced to
20 years imprisonment, was taken from the
jail, that was defended by company of
militia, and in broad day light hanged to a
tree in the court house yard The military
company fred twenty volleys into the
crowd and about dozen prominent citi-
zens were killed or seriously wounded,
many Of them being innocent persons on
the outskirts of the crowd far from the
scene of disorder. Within a week from
the preparation of the crime the negro was
indicted, plead guilty, sentenced to inn
prisonment and in defiance of the law
officers hanged. Urbana is town of 6. $40
people; is the centre of one of the most
cultured and prosperous districts of that
enlightened State, and the outbreak of
passion and fierce resentment is mex
plicable. Surely the machinery of the law
worked as promptly aud vigorously as the
statutes provided, yet they failed to satisfy
the people that the full penalty was com
mensurate with the crime Late reports
ate that the Sheriff and the Captain of
the local military company who gave the
order to FIRE, are fugitives from tho wrath
Of the populas, and there is threat from
Safe authorities to put the county under
martial law.
Shame and humiliation will follow the
reign of passion at Urbana, and the
community will drink to the dregs the cup
of bitterness which will be placed to its
lips after the storm of passion shall have
subsided. but Legislators Of all the States
might as we'll look this question squarely
in the face and take heed Of public senli-
ment and make this crime capital offence
punishable by death. Within very recent
Years New jersey and New York have been
olsgraced as Ohio is now disgraced.
