New Era, of last week, thus heartily endorses the po sition of our townsman, Judge Thompson, in favor of Woman be ing allowed an equal voice with man, in the enforcement of a Local Option liquor law : Judge Thompson's scheme to en franchise the ladies for the purpose of -voting upon the proposition of local option 6hould meet with the approbation of every loyal citizen in this State. No country ever lost its liberties by expanding and broaden . ing the elective franchise in matters cf local economy. And the West Union Scion says A petition is in circulation, and is being pretty generally 6igned in our town, for a Ijocal option temperance law. The petitions ask that the Leg islature grant the right of females to vote on the que-tion, and we predict that if the women get the right of suffrage in this, a matter that so warmly concerns their happiness, and their own personal interests, they will vote whiskey out of the county and not be any ways back ward ubout claiming and exercising their rights.

It is too Etrong for even the "briga iers. It is feared that the steamer Arra gon, from New York for Bristol, has foundered at sea, and that all on board were lest. - A terrible accident occurred on Sunday night, on the North Eiitinh Railway. Tbo long iron bridge over the Frith of Tay fed as a train was crossing, and cf ail on board, over 300 passengers and employees, not one is known to have escaped alive. Chief Ouray has failed to surren der the Utes engaged in the White River agency massacre, and there are fears for the safety of Gen. Hatch and the 23 soldiers, who have been guarding him while negotiating with the Indians. The Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, gives a list of members of the Legislature, who will vote for Gen. Garfield for Senator. The list foots up 15 in the Senate and 42 in the House, 'making 57. There is little doubt of Gen. Garfield's election. Boston was visited Sunday night by the largest fire since the great fire of 1872. Loss estimated at over $1,000,000. Among the heaviest losers were Houghton, Osgood & Co , publishers of the Atlantic Monthly, whose loss was about $200,000, but they were fully insured. Sixteen members of tha last Leg islature of the State, who voted for Mr. Quinby'8 Local Option bill last winter, have been re-elected to the next Legislature, so that Local Op tion will have that number of votes to start with, and we hsve no doubt the necessary majority required to pass a bill will bo forthcoming in due time. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. August Thieme, aged 55, founder and editor of the "Wachter r.m Eric," of Cleveland, a paper of wide inliu ence among the Germans of North ern Ohio. Mr. Thieme was a mem ber ofthe Ohio Editorial Excursion of last summer, and to all appearances bade fiir for a long life, ytt he is the first to answer tho summons of the dreal messenger, who comes to all. Mr. 'Thieme was a pleasant and intelligent companion, end an able and faithful editor. Peace to his memory. Judge Thompson's Address at Columbus. Ye will publish next week, in full, the able address of our tosvnamiin, James II. Thompson, Esq . delivered before the Local Option Slato Con vention, at Columbus, Jan. 1st. Ve have had the privilege end pleasure of reading it in manuscript, and can promise our readers that it will re pay a careful perusal, and will exert marked influence wherever it is read. Mr. Thompson's argument for Woman's right to an equal voice with .man, under the Constitution and laws of Ohio, on the question of the liquor traffic, seems to us strong, logical an J unanswerable. We hope will be widely published by our brethren cf the press througbot the State, who are jn favor of Tem perance, and this, we know, rrjll in clude the great majority. LOCAL OPTION. LOCAL OPTION. Will Public Sentiment Sustain a Local Option Liquor Law! Tha Fayette Co. Herald of last wei k has a well-considered article in favor of a Local Option Liquor law, from which we make the following extract: "We will, bower, remind the friends of temperance that it is a rreitt mistake to suppose that all that is necessary to close up the sa loons anil prohibit tho traffic in in toxicants is to pass a local option law, and under it to vote by a ma jority that the traffic shall cease, l'ho mere passage of the law and the votit'g of a majority in favor of its provisions will not do tho work. Tho same old demon will be work iiiS behind saloon screens and in b-iek allies, always ready to carry on his infernal traffic alw.iys ready to fight fur the preservation of His Sa tanic Kingdom, and if the friends of local option expoel to make it a suc cess they will have to make vigor ous was faro upon the traffic and up on those v.ho may attempt to violate the provisions of the law. Passing penal cr reformatory laws never of themselves effected any good results. Tlicy must be aided by (i public sen timent cju il to the execution of their prorisioiis. Whoever signs a peti tion to the Legisl.itu.-e for the pas snge of a local option liquor law, should do bo with a determination that he will use his own personal efforts to enforce the execution of tho l.iw in this respect, whenever he sees or knows of its having been vio latad. There is much force in tho Herald's suggestions, but to onr mind one of the strongest arguments in favor of a Local Option law is, that it will necessarily create and maintain a powerful public sentiment against tho liquor traffic, in every town, vil lage and community from which it is excluded by a majority of the people, under the operations of the law. Especially will this be the case, if the law should provide, as does the Local Option law of Texan, and perhaps those of other States, that a fresh vote may be taken every year, on the question of allowing or prohibiting the traffic. This would necessitate continual vigilance and activity on the part of the friends of Temperanea to keep the enemy out after he was oneof out, and thus the Temperance sentiment would be kpt strong and active in every com munity where it once succeeded in excluding the traffic, lest, by inaction and apathy, on the part of the friends of Temperance, tho enemy should stenl a mirch upon them and reverse t'ua popular verdict at the next trial. Another strong argument in favor of the Local Option principle as advo cated by Judge Thompson, is, that it would place the responsibility of the evils of the liquor traffic at the door cf every adult citizen, using the term in its broadest sense, as he does, both male and female, in every town, village or township. Under smh a law, every intelligent man aid woman would feel th grave rej sponsibility restiug upon them in regard to the liquor traffic, as indi vidual members of a comparatively small community, in a far greater degreo than they now feel their re sponsibility for tho existence of the truffle, as members of tho grea body politic and social, of the State at large. Let every adult citizen of a town or village understand that it is not only in their power, but is made their duty by law, to say, either by ballot or petition, whether the community in which they live their home where all their interests are centred, and whose peace and order they desire to protect shall be free from the curse of saloons and drinking shops and they will be far more likely to take rn interest in the subject and make their iufluence ft It, thau they are nnder existing laws, which Stjem to operate on them or.ly as citizens at large of tbe whole State so that their individ ual influence, in the groat mass, seems too small to be of cny weight. Another important argument in favor of the Local Option principle is worthy of notice. It is this : That when once tho public sentiment of a town, villHge or township is em phatically declared to be against the liquor traffic, by a far expression of the popular will, the officers of the law will feel that they are 6trongly sustained by the people, and will take care that the laws are faithfully executed. It is well known that there are already stringent laws against liquor-selling on our statute books, but the trouble is, the lmr3 are not efficiently executed, for want of a strong and decided public senti ment to sustain the courts and other officers of the law in the discharge of their duty. Wo firmly believe that a Local Option law, wisely framed, would enable the friends of Temperance in tho majority of our towns and villages, to create and maintain a public stntiment strong enough to compel tho officers of the law to execute it with vigor and efficiency, and strong enough to remove them and put bet ter men in their places if they failed in the discharge of their duty. Let us, then, appeal to the Legis lature at its coming session to give lis such a law. It is a law that should commend itself to all good citizens, to whatever party thuy may belong, for it has really nothing of a partisan character about it. Why should any Democrat or Ite rfubiican in the Legislature object to giving his constituents of all parties, the right to express their will on a j subject of such vital importance to their welfare as too liquor trumc! We cannot see any good reason wlr tnt legislator should object to voting for a' law so trujy democratic and republican in principle, and os ivlacii the people, with so mucti unar.iuii ty w'ill undoubted!? demand from their representatives at the ftteto .capital. . . . THE MAINE VILLAINY. What It Means and Its Object. If the Democratic Governor of Maine and his Council had deliber ately gone to work to devise a scheme t secure tiie complete overthrow and defeat of tho Democratic -and Greenback p-irties in that State at the next election, they certainly could not have hit upon a better plan than tho course they have been pursuing, in attempting to steed (for it is nothing less than that) a majority in the next Legislature, by throwing out the fairly elected Rep resentatives ofthe people in over 30 districts of the State, on no other grounds than mere technical defects in the returns cf the election. For instance, in one district, they are sign e 1 by only one of the clerks, when the law requires they 6hall be signed by two. In another, the scattering votes are returned simply as "scatter ing," instead of the name of each candidate voted for being given. In one district, William T. Lawrence was a candidate, but a large number of votes were cast for W. T. Law rence, and these the Governor and Council would not count for Wil Ham T. Lawrence, though nobody doubts that the votes were intended for him. It is on such flimsy grounds as these, that Gov. Garce'on and his Council threaten to nujlify the will of the people of Maine, and change a Republican majority of 2D in the House and 7 in the Senate, to a Democratic and "Fusion" majority of 17 in the House and 9 in the Sen ate. In other words a fair Republi can majority of 3G on joint ballot is to be changed to a Democratic and "Fusion" majority of 2G a change of G2! Tho secret of this unparalleled at tempt on the part, of the Governor and Council to secure the control of the Lagislature, is simply this: By the Constitution of Maine, when a can didate for Governor receives less than a majority of all tho votes cast, the eloction of a Governor devolves upon the Senate. The House nomi nates two of the candidates and the Senate must select the Governor from these two. Last fall the vote of Maine stood: Davis (Republican) G8.-1G2 Smith (Greenback) 47,510 Garcelon( Democrat) 21,176 It will be seen that although the Republican candidate had more than 20,000 over the Greenback candi date, and some 47,000 over theDem ocratlc candidate, he yet lacked some 200 voto3 of a majority over both. Hence the election must go to the Legislature, and hence Gov. Gurcelon's attempt, aided by his Council, to throw out over 30 Repub lican members of that body, who nobody doubts were fairly elected by the people, though the clerks' of the election may have made errors in making out the returns, forwhich tho people are not responsible This is the whole case in a nutshell and we don't wonder the Republi cans of Maine are excited and indig nant over the attempted outrage, nor that many respectable Demo crats censure the action of the Gov ernor and Council, Numerous large public meeting! have been held, and strong resolu tions passed, and at Bangor, the people assembled and compelled one of the Governor's staff, who was re moving some arms from the State arsenal to Augusta, the capital, by order of the Governor to return them to the arseual. Hon. Lot Morrill, one of the lead ing Republicans of the State, has addressed a letter to the Governor. urging him to refer the disputed re turns to the Supreme Court for de cision, and many leading Democrats linve urged the same course, but at the latest advices the Governor had not consented to do so. We hope he will yet consent, and that the difficulty may be fairly and peace ably adjusted, but in any event, Maine may be set down for the big gest It-publican, majority next fall that she has over given, and the Democrats may thank Gov. Garce- lon and his foolish advisers for the result. [Correspondence of the News. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Dec. 2G, 1879. The rivals of Gen. Garfield for the Senatorship in Ohio, aro guilty of some inconsistencies that are laughable. They nrge against Lis being promoted for two reasons. first, that lie ig a free-trader, and sec ond, that he cannot be spared from the House. Now, the first proposi tion is untrue. Gen. Garfield, while rot claiming to be a Protectionist, of the prohibitory class, like Judge Kelley, is a consistent friend to American industries, and has done as much as any other man to pro tect tlieni. hi is speeches on this subject nrc among the ablest ever delivered in or out of Congress, and of late years he has been most con spicuous in Lis efforts to defeat all assaults upon the so-called "Ameri can System." But it is curious that the same persons, who find fault with Gen. Garfield on this point, think he "cinnot be spared from the Houst!" If he is obji-ctionable in the Senate, is be not equally so in the House! And, by narity of reasoning, if he is i valuablo in the House, he is need ed in the Senate, where the Repub licans are just now placing all their leading men. Home friends of lhe Nicaragua Canal, some time ago, reported that Ciipt. Eads had abandoned bis scheme for a Marine Railway across, tho Isthmus, in consideration of Gen. Grant's friendship for the Ca nal scheme, and his friendship for Gen. Grant. This is not the faot. Capt. Eads is too much of a scientif ic man to give np a plan that has been worked out by careful study. He has just returned from Europe, where he has been to examine the (subject of si.'i'ar woiks, and says he conies hak more tbsn eyef pr the belief that the Canal is impracticable, and that the Railway is the winning enterprise. He Bays the largest J-rankfort ships may be safely moved on a Railway constructed for the purpose; that 6nch a railway can be construct ed for a very small part of the cost of the Canal ; and that it would not require one-eighth of the time to con struct it. Capfc. Eads is the ablest engineer in this country," and his plan will receive great attention. The ability and adroitness with which Senator Blaine has conducted the campaign against fraud in Maine enlists the plaudits of all. It is likely that he will find a way to beat tho rascally Greenback-Democratic combination there, after all. The Senator w'll be welcomed back to the Senate warmly, after his admira ble double campaign Against the conspirators who hoped to steal the Presidency, through the iniquity in in Maine.

An old lady, named Gray, mother of Thomas Gray, was struck by a freight train at Frankfort, la?t Sunday evening, and seriously, if not -fatally, injured. She was brought here Monday morning. The doctor reports her recovery impossible. We are pretty well convinced now that Mr. John 41. Waddell was originally cnt out for a caricaturist.

The anonymous correspondents for the Times and Star appear to labor nnder the impression (hat the besL'ht of refined fun is making announcements of anticipated marriages which nevef-come off, and nick naming citneus. Thev (we nucht as well say be, lor lb?y are evidently ouo and the same person) have a remarkably fine gift for this kind or business, but do not eive the neic of this place, and we presume that this is what a correspondent is en- gHged for. Next to tbe smallpox or yellow tever, pentlemen of thi stripe are th wort-.t calamities that can happen to any town. Christmas Eve was celebrated with nioro ardor than common this year, which no doubt redounded much to the enjoy ment of the little, as well as the big folks. The first Presbyterians had a fine time. At this church Uiere was no tree, but nevertheless thev had a "Santa Claus," hn McGarraugh- who distributed gifts to all. There were also literary exercises. The large auditorium was crowded almost to suii'ooation. The M. E. church was perfectly jammed. There was barely standing room. The little folks were in their glory, and had all the fun they wanted. At the BaptiHt church everything went off in good order, and there was a fine time generally. The Germans also celebrated the occasion in their usual niet way, at their church on Church street, 'he colored population lo had a flori ns lime at the school building on North street, lhey enioyed it as they onlv can. t It appears somewhat Ftrange that Frank fort, a town barely more than one-third the slue of this place, can keep up a lec ture bureau and make a paying invest ment of It. Lectures and lecturers have been tried time ami again in Greenfield, and with a few exceptions, the managers have lost money. This is a sad commen tary on the literarv proclivities of our citizens. A "nigger" minstrel, or clap trap dramatic troupe will draw until the house is crowded, but let a lecturer come here, and, unlets he given a free show, he has the delightful sensation of speakinsr to I -If a v'e. 4itirjiif tip past month, lias Jiad a number of lectures and amusements, among them being Mrs, Elizabeth Cady Stajiton, Will tarleton and others, whose names now escape us. It is high time for Greenfield to be show ing her hand, it she has any. Taken all in all, Christmas day paired off in a very pleasant way. There were very few drunks, and no disturbances at all, worth mentioning. But when evening came, things took a very deidedly oppo site course. In fact, it was a very lively Christmas night, such a one as has not been experienced here in years. There was an unusual amount of drunkenness and small fights. About every fifteen minutes after some fellow would be led out of a sa loon, by his friends, .with his nose spread all over his face, and ' taken to one of the pumps for repairs. It did actually ap pear as if every fellow was laboring under the impression that he was under obliga tions to raise a row with somebody, and they generally succeeded, and that with very little trouble. Outside of the free fights there were only two that amounted to much.. About 9 o'clock, some stranger, said to be from Martins!, nrg, was struck a terrible blow, with a billiard cue, in the hands of an inebriated individual in Croth er's saloon, on East Main street. His left cheek was laid open to the bone. The wound was about four inches long. He was taken to Dr. Wilson's otlice, where the doctors took about half a dozen stitches. He was then sent home, and will bear the scar to his grave. The second disturbance was a dowi,. right case of highway robbery. About 11 o clock, a poor inoffensive Irishman, bvthe name of Tom McKinney, alias "Powder x. ..... was set upon by a gang near the M. uepot, and besides being fearfully pounded .ip, was robbed of all the moneV he had $7.40. Thomas turned up FridaV with about the worst-looking head that we have een in many a day. About 10 o c ock he caused the arrest of a voung fellow named Brady, on the cha'rge of highway robbery. Brady, after a prelim inary trial before 'Squire McAlpine, was bound over in the sum of $ 300 to appear Monday morning, but when the time fixed for trial came, McKinney withdrew his charge. There were others concerned in this afiair, who have not yet been appre hended. - Gibsos. New Advertisements. EEPOBT OP THE CONDITION OK THE .
