The Portland Liquor Riot*

The Attica Distillery.

LATE NEWS -BY TELEGRAPH.

Thos. Lecrenbeie allowed $1,60 for digging grave for Alvin Pie w. R. N, Lamb allowed $3,60 fur cash paid by him for freight* *c. on books for office.

We are informed that the Distillery of STANDART & CURRIER is now permanently closed. The business of Distilling—manufacturing highwines, which is the first extract of the grain after fermentation was commenced hy Mr. Standart in this place, we believe in the winter of 1846, and continued in successful operation, with occasional stoppages for repairs, until last week. Messrs. Standart and Currier claim, that the termination of their business has been brought about by no act of theirs, or willingness on their part, as the distillation of grain is and has been profitable; but that they have been forced into a suspension of business, by the passage of the Liquor Law, passed by the late Legislature, and which is to take effect the 12th of June. According to their interpretation of the law, (an interpretation from which we dissent,) they believe the law restricts the sale or the article to the county and township agents, within the limits of the state, and that to ship and sell it out of the state would be a violation of the spirit of the law, and also of the obligations of the Bond, which the law imposes upon all Manufacturers of the article. Under this interpretation of the law, and seeing that no provision is made for losses resulting from it, Standart Currier feel deeply aggrieved by it, and attribute their suspension and failure in business, <solely> to the passage of this law.. And their reasoning is this: they say that their distillery, together with all out houses, fixtures &c. cost them in round, numbers 35,000 [sic], and that by a valuation recently made, by five disinterested men, this properly is now worth about $23,000, (provided there was no law interfering with their business,) but under the present law, (as interpreted and understood by them) the whole concern is a total loss, and consequently their failure was inevitable. Now this is the view taken of the matter by these gentlemen, and we have felt called upon to state it, in justice to them, as rumor with her ten thousand tongues is always busy with the character of those —who, from whatever cause, are so unfortanate as to fail in business. But we do not wish to be understood as endorsing the view of the Prohibitory Law, taken by Messrs. Standart & Currier. We believe that they have the right, and that every one else engaged in the distillery business has also the right, by giving Bonds as the law provides, to make all the Whisky they can, sell what they can to the different agents within the State, and ship the remainder beyond the limits of the State, just as they would ship any other property, and when there they would have the right to dispose of it without being amenable to the laws of Indiana. But admitting, for the sake of the argument, that we are wrong in our construction of the law, and that they are right, and that the legitimate effects and workings of the law will break down every distillery and liquor shop, in the land, yet would not this fact alone be the most triumphant vindication of the humanity, justice and benevolence of the act? We think it would; and upon the true Republican principle, of the “greatest good to the greatest number.” While a few would suffer loss pecuniarily, thousands would be benefitted <pecuniarily, intellectually> and morally. And while we would sympathize with any honorable men, who should lose by the operation of the law, yet our sympathies for the great mass pf society who have been so long cursed by intemperance, would prompt us to sustain and enforce it.—<Fountain Ledger>. ~~~~~

The following particulars of the late disturbance in Portland, are complied from the Portland AdvertUer. The truth of the cose is briefly as follows:' The Prohibitory Law, as it now exists in Maine, provides for the establishment by each town of a municipal agency for the supply of liquors for mechanical, medical and sacramental purposes. In comg fiance with this provision, the Common Council of Portland, on the 3d nit., or one month before the. riot, appointed a Committee, consisting of the Mayor and Aldermen to procure the requisite stock for such an agency in Portland.

Election:

* It is said that the resolution appointing a committee was past.by the Mayor’s casting vote, hot we do not see that this is the fact, if it bo a fact, it is not of any great importance. In the discharge of their office, the Committee bought from an importer m N. York, d quantity of wine and liquor in the original packages, and had it dnly forwarded to Portland. The purchase .was consummated, and the invoice was’mado in the name of the City Agency of Portland, Mr. Dow having no personal interest in , the merchandise whatever; but .the two chief rum-selling journals of thp town, the Argut and the State of Maine, seeing in the arrival* and presence in the city of these liquors, an excellent opportunity to assail both Mr. Dow and the Prohibitory Law, did not hesitate to assert, that.the purchase hod been made by him for his private account, and with :tno intention of selling the liquor for his own profit in violation of the law, with whose origin and execution ho has become identified, - These assertions they backed up with/violcnt appeals to the passions of that ignorant and prejudiced part of the community—chiefly Irish, os wo are told—whoso trade of rum-selling, Mr. Dow. and the Law has essentially’interfered with. To the inflamatory course* of these journals the subsequent occurrences' are in a great way attributed.;

"It is for the wolves in sheep’s clothing that I feel an unutterable contempt—men who forget God and Christ, and who look for the salvation of the world to a Know Nothing Legislature, or to some petty intrigue concocted at the midnight hour in some Know Nothing wigwam—men who wear the livery of heaven to serve the devil by getting down and wallowing in the foul dregs of Know Nothing politics—men who disgrace themselves and their calling by forgetting to look to God for aid to accomplish a reformation of the world, look to some secret political organization to make men sober and temperate^—men who forget the example and teachings of Christ." —John Wetl* y Spencer, of Kiting Sun.

The above is a slander upon the entire prolestant ministry of this Slate, There is not a single minister in Indiana, who is guilty of the above charges, and this Spencer knew it when he made the above disgraceful assertion. Every man who is not willing to straddle a whiskey barrel and cry, “Hurrah for Spencer for Judge," may expect to receive his “unutterable contempt." We trust he may succeed in becoming notorious, as be is following the example of the notorious Robinson/in slandering and "stopping the feed" of the Protestant ministry.

Moorehtad, of Franklin county, in his stead. Mr. Mootehead is an able and strong man, and will immediately enter into the contest and prosecute the canvass vigorously until the election. Quite an amusing occurrence took place at Warsaw the other day. A man by the name of Dickson, from Indiana, attempted to get license to marry a negro girl, but did not succeed. Some men and boys got after the old mao, and made him believe that he had violated the laws of the State, and nothing less than the severest penalties would satisfy the demand of. justice. The old mat) run for life, and it is said he made the best time ever known in that region. ■' The secular press of Kentucky consists of fifty newspapers, issued daily, tri-weekly, semi-weekly, and weekly.

On Saturday afternoon one Royal Williams appeared at the Police Court, with two other wellknown foes ol Prohibition, and made affidavit that Mr. Dow had these liquors in his possession, as they had reason to believe, with the purpose of selling them in the State contrary to the Law. Hereupon the Jndge issued a warrant, and an officer proceeded to the basement of the City Hall where the liquors were stored, and seized thermit being now late in the afternoon the officer did not arrest the Mayor for -trial, but left that part of his duty to bo discharged on Monday morning..

Ferret Dufonr presented his bill for $33,60, for that amount paid oat for nse of the society, which was allowed and an order drawn on the Treasurer for that amount. ' .

As the officer took possession of the liquor, a noisy and violent crowd assembled around the Oily Hall, demanding; that the liquors should be delivered to them. This, of course the officer. refused to do. ,; But the crowd increasing and becoming more. excited, at about eight o'clock, a small force of policemen, armed with pistols, entered the room where the liquors were. The mob bad now begun to break the windows, and though repeatedly warned to (desist aud disperse by the Marshall,IhtP(Sheriff and the Mayor, who told them that persistanoo in the attack on the building would endanger their lives, and though the riot act was read, they continued their hostile demonstrations, rushing at the door with a view to break it down'and get at the liquors. . After the first rush upon the door, which proved too, strong to bo shivered by the assault, the police fired . their pistols over the heads of the. assailants. Tito reply to this discharge, was of course a second onslaught upon the door, which was met with genuine ballets from' the police. Bat this did not suffice to disperse or repel, the infuriated rioters, and about 11 o'clock or after, when the riot had been in full progress for three hours, and further delay would have been culpable, a company, of riflemen were brought up, the Mayor at their head. They fired in squads of four, .aud not mote than throe or four such 'volleys .were required to scatter the mob and suppress all attempts to break into the City Gall. At midnight the whole'afiair was over. One man only appears to havo been killed and seven or eight wounded. ’ ,

[Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, May 25, 1855. Our town has been filled with rumors for the past few days in relation to alleged robberies of emigrant trains on the plains by the Indians, Some of these rumors will doubtless reach readers at the East in greatly exaggerated forms, and it seems therefore no more than an act of justice to caution the public against lending a too willing ear to them. After all that has been said, I do not believe that it can be shown on credible authority, that a single white man has been murdered or killed by the Indians the present year. A few cattle have, however, been stolen by isolated bands of the Poncas and sioux [sic], but beyond these no overt acts have been committed by the red men upon the persons or propperty of the whites. Many of the Indians are in a starving condition, and their necessities sometimes induce them to lay violent hands upon cattle trains. The numerous emigrant trains of the last three or four years have driven off the buffalo and other game, upon which the Indians formerly lived, to the remote regions about the Rocky Mountains; and thus, they are left to a great extent to suffer for want of food. Were the Government to expend for their subsistence and support a small part of the amount which the military foray under Gen. Harney into the Sioux country will cost, all difficulties would be avoided, and peace and quiet would reign on the plains. As it is, the Indians are in an exceedingly unsettled state; in several instances they have stolen cattle and horses from the whites, and it is greatly to be feared that the course of the Government will force them into still more decided acts of hostility. The killing of the first Indian by the troops will be the signal for a bloody retaliation on the whites, and thus an Indian war will be lighted up which will inundate the plains with blood. ~~~~~
