Carrying Out he Law.

John Vuugtn, a citizen of Eat! Park, Bouton county, on Saturday of week befoie last deliberately commit tad suicide by taking poison. He was a man of family, and aged about | 53 years, .4«K> In LaPorte, on Thursday of week before last, a man named Huplau stole about $1,300 from his employer, a butcher in that city. He was gobbled up, plead guilty before Judge Noyes, sent up for three years, and was safelv over the sarrl hills in less than 21 hours after lie had committed the theft. Speedy work. Hon. John D. Decrees, an old and influential R> publicuu, in answer to the question, "What do you think of the Grant movement?” replied, ‘‘l don’t take any stock in it, whatever. Grant lias been tried twice, and his administration left an odious reputation. Theni is nothing in him which calls upon the people to chaDge ail their traditions on the subject of u third term. Forty-two Carolina negroes arrived at Crawfordsville on T iesdtty of last week, The dispatch announcing the fact stated that they would be piovidod with work in a day or two, that there was a demand for that kind of labor. This is iu very great contrast to an article in the Crawfordsville Review of a recent issue, which gave seveiul interviews with white and colored fanners, who declared that there was absolztely no demand for labor iu Montgomery county of any kind. Some of the Republicans who are eugagcd!iu importing pauper negroes Irom the South into this State seem to be ignorant of the fact that an old law passed iu ’52, reads as follows: ''Every person who shall kuowing y bring within tins State a pauper, wiili the intention of making him or her a charge upon any of the counties in this State, shall upon conviction, be lined $500.” Senator Voorhees has culled for u Congressional investiga lion of this exodus matter, and some persons may get themselves into trouble. The course pursued by the radical press witn reference to the pauper negro exodus into this State reminds one of the old anecdote of Noah who, upon inviting a fellow to get Into the ark, was requested to “go alorg with your old: boat, there’snot going to be much of a shower after all.' Notwith standing train loads are arriving eve ty week they seek to quiet the IVurs Qf tlu ir toiling readers with the false assurance that theie is nothing in it. But in the near future, when these negroes come in competition with the white laborers of Lie State, tinreaders of those journals will learn that there is vastly more in it than they had any conception of. * A postal regulation has been it) force now for some two months wnich is no*, well known among hi siness men or they would more generally avail themselves of it, W- refer to the fact that statements, bill-*, etc., can now be mailed in an unsealed envel ope wiih a cent, stamp. Tiijr the monthly statements, many of which are made out by wholesale and retail dealers each month can he mailed for on' cent, but no writing other than the legitimate bill can be placed upon the statement. No such words as “please, remit' can bo, neither can a bill receipted be sent If it is necessary to have the words ‘please remit” on the statement or bills, they can bo printed as a part of the head ing. Publishers of newspapers have the right to enclose bills for subscriptions in their papers, and also receipted bills for the same, but not to write remit,” which, however, way bo printed on the bill without infringing the law. —*•— In his Inaugural address, on the sth of March, IS', 7, Fraud Hayes said : “I ask attention of the public to the par am oun fyi ccessitij of reform in our civil .service. * * * A relorm that shall be thorough, radical and com plete; a return to the principles and practices of the founders of the gov ornment. They neither expected nor desired from public officers any par tisau services. On the 22d of Juno, 1877, Mr. Hayes issued the following executive circular: “* * * No officer should be required or permitted to taku part iu the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or ele< - non campaigns. Their right to vote and express their views on public questlous, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official dudes. No assies ments for political purposes on t Ulcers or subordinates should be allowed. This rule to every department of the civil service. It should be understood by every .officer of the general government that he is expected to conform ilia conduct to its requirements. Verp Respectfully, R. B. Haves Now, Mr. Fraud, in the light of the above order issued by you, would it not be as well for you to scrutinize carefully the recent circular of Mr, MarshalDudley,anddetermine whether or not it comes iu conflict wi*h your requirements.

If the Republican rascals of Maine were prairie dogs, with their tails in a steel trap, they could not squ I loude or to less purpose. racy reel the law’s halter draw, and as it chokes the political life out of them, but severer punishment than deteat is in store for them.— The Boston Globe is entirely familial with the deep-laid schemes of R- publi can knaves to steal the Stale of Maine Everybody know* that tb-. Ti nublic fia-ly is in the mtuoii >in Maine. Its

cn'y chance of success was to perpetrate frauds, and tins was done by the leaders with a profound disregard for a'l law, human and divine. The Globe says: "1 he most encouraging feature of this result is the evidence which it gives that me threats of die Radical Republicans Lav.- had i n effect in diverting the governor and council from the performance of their duty. At every step the law and the constitution have been strictly follow ed, and the-executive has not been de’ turn! from obeying the law by ail the frantic * forts at intimidation which Mr. Blaine h e made through his party workers iu Maine and his oreans outside the S ale, Further than this. Republican precedents have been carefully followed >n tti’S canvass of the returns, and nothing has b-i n done that will not stand as legal amt equitable under the closest scrutiny. The civ of “revolution” which Blaine atid bin so lowers have raised is found to i»e empty a.id foolish, and tise threats of armed opposition and of the establishment of a rival Legislature have eViiporat. d Bui dus is only the hegir.hing of the end \\ iih the Legislature assured to the / si:i( n there must follow an invesM gallon of the charges of fraud, coiruptiion i d Intimidation at th ■ polls such as would be impossible with that body in the clutches ot a Republican majority. — Ii is ibis which Blaiaa atid his crowd iesr eyen more than t .e loss of ti.e Sub- ! Now tor tt»e first ti ne M ,iue his a Legislature able and wiling to uncover toe j corruption which has debased its citizens | and demroyeu the freedom of the bali' t within its limits. We may expect tnis work to be done as thoroughly and afearlessly as the governor ami council nave doue their duty; and, even further, ilttil this Legislature will paxsgsuch laws as sliii-l make nnpos-iblc die rupcitlio-i ot this crime against free govern meat This is the “revolution” m u win b-i ( fleeted in Maine, and all good citizenwill rejoice at its success. What troubled the Maine Republican knaves just now is that they are in danger, as the G 1 >be points out, of an invifs tigulion which wql oyerwhe on them w.ln infamy and probably send a number ui them to the penitentiary.
