The LiouorLaw.'

The Prohibitory Liquor Law goes into
operation to-day. Every good citizen will
obey its provisions, and seek to prevail upon
others to do the same. We all hope to see
a fair trial Of the Prohibitory experiment,
and the great mass OF the community are
determined that the experiment shall be tried.
We hope the officers of the law will see that
the law is executed. They will be held
responsible for any known violations of the
law not at once followed by arrests and
punfshnents.

American victory.

The American party in our National Ca
pital have been successful in electing nearly
every one of their candidates by large ma
jorities. Right under Presidents Pierce's
home, right in the midst of a swarm OF
Government officers who were using every
threat and bribe in their power in opposition,
and with an immense foreign vote to con-
tend against, the American party has been
successful. AS contemporary remarks, it
must be Notifying to the Administration to
End that neither its threats nor it's promises
have influence upon the voters of Wosh-
iugton City; and also, that it cannot get for
eigners enough into the departments and
upon the public works, to secure a victory.
This election, following as it did right on
the heels of the Virginia election, shows that
the defeat of the American party in the land
from whence "Uncle Ned" hailed, has by no
means discouraged that party in other
sections. The election of men of this party
TO control the municipal affairs of Washing
ton, is no experiment there. They had al
ready tried this experiment, and the follow
ing is the result. The American organ thus
speaks of the old officers and what they have
done, and they were of the American party ::
OF the character and qualifications of the
gentlemen then elected to manage our mu-
nicipal affairs, no complaint has been made
from any respectable quarter. They have
paid off 100000 of the city debt, have materi-
ally improved and beautified the city, and
what is better than all, have reduced the rate
of taxation from 10 to 20 cents on the 800.
The laws have been rigidly maintained,
many nuisances have been abated, and
peace, order and quiet have prevailed in every
section of the city. No other city in the
Union, we firmly believe, has been better or
more economically governed than has the
city of Washington during the fiscal year
which has just expired.
Place such acts as the above in comparison
with those of Hunker administrations in gen.
eral, and we have one cause why the Amer
lean ticket is popular in Washington.

THE ROCKFORD CAsE.-Mr. Snyder and
others of Rockport, sued that town before
the last court, to have the work enjoined of
making steamboat landing in front of the
town, by digging a road way through the
high bluff, to be paid by taxation on property
holders. The decision of the circuit court
was against the plaintiffs. The case has
been up before the Supreme Court, and the
decision has been reversed. This will cause
long delay in the work, to say the least Of
it. An immense deal of labor has already
been performed in making this much needed
improvement. AS it has to be paid for by
some body, we think the work had better GO
on to completion if it is likely to be of any
benefit to the town at all.

GFThe American party in Kentucky have
been compelled to accede to Mr.. Loving's
wishes to decline the race for Governor in
that State against Beverly L. Clark, the
Old Line anti-American aspirant. Mr.
Loving's health has for months been in a
very precarious situation and it is now
apprehended that he will not long survive.
Hon. Charles S. Morehead, succeeds Mr..
Loving as Candidate for Governor, and a
better selection could not have been made.
Mr.. M. has had large experience in public
life, and as statesman and orator has
scarcely an equal in Kentucky. He takes
the stump Immediately and proposes to labor
faithfully in the American cause up to the
day of election. Mr.. NJ. has held various
important stations both in the State and
National Councils, and has never been
beaten in single contest yet, and he will
again lead his party to the most glorious
victory that has ever yet been achieved by
him.

o. The rafting of railroad iron kept up a
delightful accompaniment with the ringing
of church bells ell last Sunday. Three
steamers were unloading iron for the Ohio
and Mississippi R. r. all day. Added to
this, as the water was rising fast, the iron
already put off had TO be wagoned away-so
that steamboats, and wagons, men and horses.
were busily engaged, and the racket was de-
lightfully business like, but not very suitable
to the day.

IL A correspondent of the Cannelton
Reporter, writing from Alton, ILL.,, notices
the sale Of white man, in that town, for
vagrancy. He had been pirating upon the
widows who kept boarding houses, changing
from one to another to avoid liquidatinr his
board bills. The widows complained of him
under the vtgrant act, and the court decided
that he must give bail in $500, or be sold as
a yagrant. Failing to give the bail, he was
put up at auction, and, sold for the enormous
sum of flee cents.
