MONTPELIER, VERMONT, THURSDAY,

explain the unusual excitement {: &C On Friday
evening the Palace was crowded. The novelty
was the concert of instrumental music, given by
Dodworth band, with whom another band from
New Haven, which accompanied the "Neptune"
of that city, entered into competition. One
stationed itself in the eastern cutlery, directly
under the dome, and the other took post oppo-
site, in the western gallery, and thus played over
against each other, to the great delight of seven
thousand people, who ebbed and flowed in an
nnceasing tide till 10 o'clock"
We who were so fortunate as to obtain seats,
could look upon the impatient, ever-moving
multitude, with o very complacent pity; and
to'sh that all could be scomfortably situated as
ourselves, yet keeping eur chairs with great per-
severance, lest some rude interloper should de-
priye us of them. The fremen marched twice
through the arcade below us, and then disband-

TIE LIQUOR QUESTION.

Judge Rockwell yesterday gave the Grand
| Jury at Brooklyn very clear and able charge on
| the subject Oflquor sales between the 1st ofMay
| and the 4th of July. He instructed them in
plain terms that every sale in quantities less
than five gallons, either to be carried off or
drunk on the premises within this period, ex-
cept the seller had license under the new Pro-
hibitory Law, was a misdemeanor, and that
they were bound to indot the offenders.
Judge Strong at Suffolk, Judge Brown at
Putnam, Judge Dean at Queens, and Judge Gull
yer in the City Court, have previously expressed
similar views in their respective charges. 1t
would seem, therefore, that the Courts in the
Second Judicial District are agreed on this
question, and as the liquor dealers had contem-
plated bringing o habeas corpus on Judge Gull
ver's decisions, it will trouble them now to
know where to find safe Judge for their pur-
pose In this emergency we advise them to ap-
ply to Recorder Smith and A. Oakley Hall of this
City. We dare say these officials may help
them out of the trouble. If it should be found
in the end that the opinions of these two gentle
men, however well intended, should result in an
accumulation Of penalties to an untold amount
on the liquor dealers heads, the latter will have
pure hased the two months boon at an expensive
rate.
Judge Selden of Rochester, and we believe
every judicial officer or Court in the State which
has intimated opinions, save Recorder Smith
and District-Attorney Hall, has sustained the
views of the Judges in the same District. In
deed, as was well remarked by Judge Rockwell,
it is matter of establishment that any man with
head on his Ahoulders and the statute before
his eyes should have entertained a reasonable
doubt.
We learn that some two hundred cases of vio-
latiOns of the law will come before the Grand
Juries impanneled by Judges Rockwell ana
Culver.

THE CITY MARKET LAWS.

Our citizens generally are protesting against
the present cost of marketing, and unjustly cen
sure the market gardeners for demanding such
exorbitant prices. Very few, comparatively,
are aware of the fact that the existing market
laws were framed for the purpose of producing
these high prices, and that the City Ordinances
and market regulations, which might all be re-
pealed by the Common Council 10 an hour, have
for years compelled us to pay an average u %
per cent more for every article of such produce
than we should pay if farmers and gardeners
were allowed the privilege of selling in the
City without restrictions. As the law at pre-
sent stands they are forbidden TO do this under
heavy penalty.
We have enormously expensive markets
expensive inasnuch as they do not pay the in
terest on the valuation; but we have no market
place for country people, no accommodation for
any but market jobbers, speculstors, and mid
dlemen. AS natural consequence, food is very
dear. Except most limited spot, there is no
place for the accommodation ofmarket wagons;
and even the inadequate space allowed to them
they are prevented from occupying after
O'Clock in the morning. The hours to which
they are limited by law are from 4 to A. NJ.
Without such an absurd law the myriad of buck
sters who grow rich by the necessities Of the
poor would disappear, and thiswe believe to be
the reason why the law has not long since been
repealed
An effort is now being made by the market
men Of Long Island to obtain possession of the
ground west Of the old Washington market
house for a wagon stand. Such move may
benefit them, but we doubt it; it would not
much benefit the mass of citizens unless the
ground was fenced in and nothing allowed TO be
carried out of the gates except what went out in
family market baskets.
The marketmen are petitioning the Common
Council for the privilege Of selling to somebody
beside the hucksters; but with all the privilege
they ask for and are urging citizens to ask for
them, they would then only sell to uptown
grocers and meat shops. The consumers would

BRIGHTEST luster. Now it exhibits nothing but
the Irish brigade, ever ready to sell itself to
the highest bidder. The soil is being gradually
abandoned by those who have escaped the re-
peated famines that have occurred In that
richest Of lands, and the Saxon is gradually 90
cupyipg the place from which he has expelled
the Celt; aud thus it is that England makes
desert and calls it peace!
If the history of her past presents little to
warrant US in regarding her as the leader OF civil
zaton, there u.s. as think, quite as little IN her
actions of the present. Her great alyis France,
which has expended hundreds of thousands
of lives and hundreds Of millions OF money IN ex-
terminating the people of Algeria, destroying
their farms and burning their villages-that
same France which introduced the fashion Of
smoking out and suffocsting brave men who
were not to be reached by the sword. Her chief
object of alteration at present is Louis Napoleon,
the friend Of despots in Italy. and the head IN
France of despotism under which no freedom
in the expression of opinion is tolerated Gladly
would she add to the list Of her allies that same
Austria whose sympathy for Hungary" was
manifested in the hanging of her bravest men
and scourging of her most accomplished women
and that same Prussia which shared with Aus
tria and Russia in that partition OF Poland which
constitutes in the eyes Of our contemporary so
great an offense. To secure the alliance of these
two powers she would willingly abandon Hun
gary to the tender mercies of Haynau, Rome
to Louis Napoleon and the Pope, and Florence
and Naples to Francis Joseph and his lieutenants
now occupying the thrones of those magnificent
countries. With her the end always sanctihes
the means.
flour Washington contemporary can find in this
succinct statement of facts any warrant for de-
string the success of the Allies, he must look at
them through spectacles very different from
those we are accustomed to use. 1t is time, as
we think, that he should open his eyes to the
fact that there is white and q brown slavery
as well as black one, and that the former
grow in every country that is subjected to Brit
ish Free trade.

st;ll he unable to reach the wagons, and the
owrs,s would be unable to sell their produce at
retail. for If they should ever attempt this they
would be prosecuted BY the lawless hucksters
and perhaps driven out Of the City.
What the farmers want, what the market gar
deners want, what the great mass Of consumers
want-who eat the millions Of tuns of vegetables
that come here for sale-is an entire removal Of
the abominable prohibition which prevents any
man who grows wagon-load Of cabbage from
brir eing in into the City and selling it when
and where be can find buyer. Bring the con-
sumer and producer as near together as posi-
bic. Let the farmers wagon come into the
street and sell direct, if possible, to every
family.
But if we must have "market regulations"
and wagon stands, why confine them to Wash
ington market, that out-of-the-way place for the
greater part of our population Why not have
twenty additional stands scattered about in every
CONVENE Mt locality7 There is room enough in
the avenues near Jefferson market for twice as
many wagons as ever stood in the streets Of Gin
cinnati or Philadelphia at one time. Make it an
established market for the morning, and invite
farmers to come there and sell at retail during
business hours-not restrict them to that early
hour when none but spectators are astir, nor so
limit their time as to compel them to sell at re-
tail or not at all. Remove the abominable old
fogy restrictions which make producers sell to
hucksters, and We shall have every kind OF gar
den vegetable twenty-five per cent cheaper and
fifty per cent better.
Tie present movement is only a step in the
right direction. Why not take one long STRIDE
and free the City from the pernicious folly OF

We have had some discussion with Tie Cour-
Ter, and Daily Advertiser Of Boston on occasion OF
the removal of siDgle pauper by the present
Administration of that State from Boston to the
place where she had legal settlement. This
has been denounced by those journals as an act
of quite as gross wickedness as the capture Of q
fugitive slave and THE TRIBUNE has been hon
ored with due share of their virtuous criticism
for maintaining that the cases were not parallel
Even The Aaas has INDUCED itself in the luxury
joining in the animated cry, proving itself not
whit the wiser, if little smarter, than the
others. But if the sending home of one psuper
was so bad, and il the law is SO intOlerably in
human, we should like to hear from these zeal
Gus philanthropists how it is that they have
never expressed their burning indignation upon
the subject before. We learn from good author
ity that during the administration Of Gov. Wash
burn six hundred paupers were sent out Of tho
State in the same manner and under the Same
law, and that among them there were more than
one hundred lunatcs. Where then slept the
tlunders of The Courier, The Advertiser, and Tie
Atias7 Were they suppressed by the fact that
their party was then in powerl And does their
ardor now arise from the fact that it is out

The riot at Portland is, we are sure, strangely
msrepresented in our telegraphic dispatches
both Of to-day and yesterday. We do not
presume to say, Of course, that Mayor Dow
cannot have made mistake in regard to
the purchase Of the liquor for tho City
Agency out of which the trouble seems to have
grown; but We are confident that when we
come to have the truth from impartial witnesses
a very different aspect will be put upon the en-
tire affair from that given it by the rumssllers
and their friends. SO far our reports have been
dictated by an intense animosity both toward
Mr.. Dow and the cause with which no has been
identified. The idea of The Portland Argas that
the killing of man by a discharge Of musketry
to put down riot can be regarded as murder.
even though the civil officer comm Inding tho
discharge should prove to have acted lnJudi-
ciously, cannot be sustained for moment. Bat
in this case the discharge appears to have been
necessary and judicious. Even The Arga -
obliged 10 admit that without il serious damage
would have been done To the building and its
contents The mob had already broken in the
door when they were fired upon, and the one vol
ley put an end to their attack. Itisa well-Asswn
maxim that in dealing with mob promptituds
and severity are alone truly mercifuL No man
can well estimate the benefit this City has do
rived from the two voleys fired at Aston place.
and we dare say the effect Of this discharge at
Portland will be equally wholesome.

To-day the grand convocation Of the followers
of "Sam" opens, and tries the temper of many
a heretofore true disciple of the free principles
that now more than ever should animate the
North Some who have heretofore been as true
as steel, now, dazzled by the seductions of
national place and power, are thinking to soften
and qualify the spirit of liberty that burns
throughout the North. Massachusetts, will DO
true, Maine will never falter, ewHanpshirs
and Vermont will be as firm as their everlasting
bills, Indiana will be ready to lead of the great
West; but we fear for Connecticut and Rhode
Island on the one hand and Ohio on tho other.
Their representatives at Philadelphia will CON-
nit the fatal blunder of lifetime If they alter
row with the freshly recurring outrages upon
liberty and justice in Kansas sounding in their
ears. Yet we hear of timorous platforms from
those quarters, of silence as to the great wrong
of the time, with yolumin0us yerbiage as to
Amercanism and the unmeaning cant OF oath
bound lodges. This will never do. Retribution
is sure to meet the representative Of FREQ
State who leaves doubt upon his course ut
Philadelphia. Even the Speakership Of tho
House of Representatives may be purchased at
too great price; or even in bartering away
birthright, the mess of pottage may itself be
thrown to the winds.
