that this gentleman, who represented this coun-
ty in the Assembly last winter with great abili-
ty, will be a candidate for denomination before
the approaching Democratic County Conven-
ton. AS yet his is the only name that we have
heard mentioned in connection with the Office of
Assemblyman. We are inclined t. the opinion
that there are remarkably few men in the coun-
ty whose political aspirations point Legislature
ward. They all seem to be holding back for
next year, when the "paying' offices are again
to be fought for. For this reason, and for the
additional reason that Mr.. Street made good
representative and gave very general satisfaction
to his constituents we inclined to the opin-
ION that he will be permitted, as he was last
year, to " walk over the course"

THE SUNDAY JscoysTITuTIosAL-yh
Supreme Court (Tesy delivering the opinion
and Burnet concurring) has decided the Sunday
Law unconstitutional, because it violates section
one of article one of the State Constitution Said
section declares that all men are by naturefree
aud independent. and have certain inalienable
rights, among which are those of enjoying and
defending life and liberty; acquiring, possess
ing and protecting property, and pursuing and
obtaining safety and happiness The Sunday
Law without necessity infringes upon the lib
erty of the citizen by restraining his right to
acquire property" Further, they hold that the
law " is in conflict with the fourth section ofe.ie
same Article, because it was intended as, and
is, in effect, discrimination in fsvor of one
religious profession, and gives it preference
over all others" Judge Fields disscnts from
this opinion. He considers the statute q as
mere civil regulation, and not within range of
