The second point, to our mind, is, II posi-.
bic, more ridiculous than the irst.
The fifth section reads as follows:
"TbSt it shall be unlawful for any person TO
get intoxicated, and every person found in a
state of intOKcatiOn shall. upon conviction
thereof, be fined in the sum Of five dollars.
and be imprisoned in the county jail not more
than three, or less than one day, and pay the
cost o. prosecution"
Now look at this section. Il shall be un-
lawful for any person to get intoxicated. That
is the offence. To prove the fact, 1t would be
necessary for some person to see the offender
when in that condition. 1t is the sublime Of
the ridiculous to suppose. that the man while
drunk, must be taken before the Mayor or JUS
tice, and be convicted Of il, before he becomes
sober, or in default thereof, that the unlawful
act Of getting drunk becomes no offence at all
Suppose the offender were so far from Justice,
that it would be impossible to 60 to bis Office,
get the necessary warrant and return, before
the drunken man would become sober? Would
there be no offence? This report makes Judge
BARLEY say there would be none.
Is it possible that a Judge Of the Supreme
Court of Ohio can make such decision .
But, Supreme Court Judge once decided the
entire liquor law unconstitutional, and void,
though that Court subsequently unanimously
reversed bis decision We nave no doubt this
will be similarly treated, when it comes before

What better tribute could be offered 30 the

PoolE.--A monument is to be erected to
Poole, and fund is to be raised for the bene-
fit of bis family. The Boston Atlas, in an ar
ticle on the 'apotheosis of blsckguardism, says:
I'VE did think, when this miserable affair co.
cured, when some of the scoupdrel parties were
shot, and some of them compelled to fly from
the city, that New York might consider her
self well rid of nuisance more noxious thar
the garbage in her streets or the stencil OF her
slaughter houses. But the turn which the af
fair has taken, will make matters worse and
worse. Where she had one bully before, she
will have twenty now. Pulgilism and the pis-
tol, shoulder hitting, gouglng and manning
have been elevated INTO the heroic. The young
lad. who reads the Herald or the Express, will
conclude that to be a fighting, drinking, gamb-
ling loafer, will build him up as insurpassable,
