During the present hot weather it must
be obvious to everybody that all refuse mat
ter and offal should be removed from the
streets and from the vicinity of dwellings at
once. A due regard to individual and gen
eral health, requires efficient action in this
matter, and there is good reason to believe
that most of the sickness which we have had
has arisen from this cause That money is
not ill-spent, or extravagantly, which goes
to the publication of the city, and it is
censurable neglect of power if any means
that may be adopted to secure it, are not
made use Of. .. 40.
There are SO many places in the city
which are so badly drained, and the habit is
so general of throwing refuse matterinto the
most convenient place, without considering
the consequences Of its being permitted to
lie there and rot, that something more
than city ordinance, which too often is
practically made dead letter, is required
1t would take up the time of the Marshal and
his assistants to give notice to offenders and
carry out the law, and it is obvious that
some more direct and strict measure shonld
be adopted by which the desired result can
be attained.
At the last meeting of the City Council
a proposition was made by an individual to
act as City Scavenger, and to contract to
remove all refuse matter and offal at least
once day from the city. The proposition
was laid upon the table, we believe, and
it is to be hoped that it will be duly consid-
cred at the meeting tomorrow evening If
it promises well and reasonably, it should
be adopted, and the work ordered to be
entered upon at once. 1t is the only prac-
tical way of effecting the object, we believe.

New YORK, July "a.
There was much excitement in BROOKLYN
yesterday, iu consequence of the determination
expressed by Francon's circus company to per-
form in the city without having first procured
license. The Mayor had forbidden them by
proclamation, but at the eleventh hour it was
found that the clause in the license law had
been annulled, in consequence of not having
been published.
The Board of Health was then called to the
rescue, which declared the circus company a
nuisance, and dangerous to the health of the
community, and the booths erected by the
company were ordered to be destroyed.
The Mayor attempted to execute the order,
but the police refused to assist, having been
warned that they would be held individually
responsible The affair was finally compro-
missed by the company being allowed to erect
their tent near the Hall, instead of the spot
they had first chosen. All the police who re-
fused to obey the Mayors orders, have been
suspended. .'r.l lis. .a.t ..'
A correspondent of the Tribune, lwriting
from the Mexican frontier, states that the bat
tie about to be fought between the revolution
lists and Gen. Vol, the Mexican commander
at Matamoras, will be decisive, and throw all
the frontier Custom Houses into the hands of
Carovajal and his party, should they be sue
cessful.
Gen. VOL, expecting to be beaten, had sent
all his valuables across the river into Texas.
The revolutionists have 1000 men and eight
pieces of artillery. They propose to form
confederation Of the three northern States,
Tamaulipas, Coahuilla and Nueva Leon.

A New AND IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE
company has recently been organized under
charters granted in North Carolina and
Virginia, to construct two pieces of canal
to connect the waters of the Albemarle
and Pamlico Sounds with the harbor of
Norfolk. Twelve miles of ship canal will
be constructed, seven feet in depth by sixty
in width, seven of which will be in Virginia
and five in North Carolina. When COM
pleted the whole of the large coasting trade
which now goes around Cape Hatteras, will
take this route. The stock of the company
is 100000. John Lathrop, of Buffalo, is
the engineer and he has already organized
a company, and will start in few days for

RAIN-It rained considerably during
Friday night, and its coming was attended
by loud thunder, and excessively brilliant
lightning. On Saturday morning, about 5
O'Clock, thunder storm passed east of the
city, and must have discharged torrents of
rain. We have rarely seen more magnif.
cent appearance than was presented by the
huge masses of black clouds rolling onward.
At one time there was hope they would
visit us, but the wind suddenly changed, and
drove the storm away.

about without loss of time. Those who are

about without loss of time. Those who are
bent upon the election of Mr.. OLMsrED must
expect to encounter all the obstacles which
corrupt and unprincipled men can throw in
their path, and they must combine to over
come all opposition, and elect honest Dave
to Congress. The usual tactics will be re-
sorted to, on the part of the Rice men, to
promise every thing to any body if he can
be elected. This town shall have land
office, and that a railroad, passing through
every mans premises. In fact no pledge
will be too absurd and ridiculous to lie CIV
en- by them, with no thought of their fulfill
ment, if their end can be gained.
We hope soon to see the production Of
the committee appointed to draft an ad-
dress to the democracy of the Territory
1t should give history of the action ofthe
Convention, and place every thing in its
true light before the people In the mean
time, the Democrat can continue to eulo-
gize its master proprietor to the top of its
bent, and to denounce with equal energy
Messrs. Sibley, German, Van Etten, and
other prominent democrats. We do not
believe that much good or harm can be
done by its illusions, and sure are we that
the equanimity of none Of these gentlemen
will be at all disturbed by the slang daily
hurled at them by the Wing editor and
contributors of that journal.

UNION GROCERY STORES. the

city, are "Union Grocery Stores" A
number Of persons contribute small amount
OF capital each, and the whole sum is ap-
piled to the purchase of a stock of goods,
which are furnished to the contributors at a
saving on the usual retail charge Of 20 per
cent. The idea has taken freely, and not
only in New York, but in Brooklyn and

Impudenee Of the Know Nothing Rice


The Democrat of the 26th needs only to
be read by those who were present at the
Know Nothing meeting at the Court House
on the 25th, which nominated Mr.. Rice, to
see the quintessence of impudence exem-
pliied in manner more cool, more deliber-
ately perverse, than ever before seen in one
issue Of any paper in Minnesota.
He puts down every delegate from every
county represented, and then avows, with
out qualification, that Mr.. Rice was nomi.
mated by aeclamation," when it is notori.
Gus that a majority Of the fairly elected
delegates which came here, were against
Rice When it is notorious that nearly
every organized, and many unorganized,
counties, were represented at the regular
Democratic Convention at the Capitol
When it is known that one-fourth of the
Rice Kro'c Nothing meeting were Wings,
Free Sellers, and rank defenders of the
Catholic Church burners. When it is known
that the dark lantern Know Nothing hirel-
ings were sent to the Court House to howl
down, and hiss down, and gag down, every
sound Democrat who should attempt to be
heard, or make motion, or dare to ask for
a platform of Democratic faith When the
Know Nothing Rice cabal adjourned with
out announcing single principle, for OF
against anything-when they have deliber
ately refused to show the light from Their
midnight Lodges
