And furthermore the State only pays seven per cent on the $200,000 invested in the Locks, which is but $14,000 interest per annum, while the entire receipts by the Company for passing freight and passengers through the locks is only $15,000, besides the company is at sue of Auir. Ust. In it on arcru- ment was made to the effect that any one should be allowed to sell liquor in llillsboro by the drink, Mr. liev is the one. mvinrr as a reason his good qualities, reputa tion, etc. Now Mr. Editor, in or der to be understood, allow me to illustrate; suppose this community should have in it an element of Mar monism, or any of the great evils which tend to corrupt the morals of hasty retreat. A later dispatch says that Gen. Crook surprised another village of from 200 to 300 Indians and killed every one. The San Francisco Bullet in of Aujjest 33 says: "The are upward of fifty vessels iu port under engaga- nient to load whaat for Europe the largest number in for two years. Some of the vessels cannot possibly be loaded before the middle of No vember. There is. therefore, no pressing demaud for wheat vessels for the next thirty days. Besides there are over twenty-five disenga ged ships and barks in port, most of which are suitable for wheat. In addition there is about 50,000 tons of tonage due by the 1st of Novem ber. It is therefore folly to hold out for extreme rates, for they will not be paid in the next nniety days. :t Thfi nresent rates ani"e ir to ii i i . the expense of from $4,000 to $5,000 tLg le woulli you think it good n. vear for repairs and operating the locks. So it is quite plain to the dullest comprehension that the cor poration has an "elephant" on its hands and that the State should not buy it. "We would better wait for judgment in those who thought it an evil doctrine to say that if it is to be taught we want it taught by honest, upright, intelligent and influential citizens, or would you not ratner think it good judgment in them to be 50s fnr wooden vessels and 52s 2d for iron vessels to Cork or Liverpool."

LOCAL OPTION THE REMEDY The heat, ill feeling and even ha treds engendered in a neighborhood by the preseut expensive and tedious system of petition and remonstrance to regulate the whisky traffic ought to satisfy everyone that it is a bad way to settle the question. The contest becomes a personal one and against a certain man, and worse than that, it is a fight against a man's private business and that business a lejjal one (which is the best that can be said for it). It entails a heavy ex pense on both the applicant for li cense aud those most interested in defeating the petition. It also costs the county, for in thelate contest the Commissioners court was en gaged three days in deciding the petition. Furthermore it is an unjust Nesmith, Slater, Daly, and other prominent Democrats went before the caucus for nomination and were defeated aad of course they, as Dem ocrats, will abide the decision.
