NEVER Washington Irving was
never married An early disappointment
preyed upon his over-sensitive nature, and
caused him to remain to the hour of his death
uuwedded. lie was not, however, churl.
He loved and respected woman with sincere
and holy devotion that is manifest in all his
writings. There is not one passage in any OF
his volumes where there can be found a word
disrespsctful concerning woman. For the
honored relations of mother. wife, sister. and
daughter. he entertained the highest admira-
ton, as he has clothed them in the sweetest
and noblest prose and poetry. And 1t is
gratifying to know that his last years were
soothed by the kind attentions Of the daugh-
tiers of beloved brother.

Eg- The liquor sellers Of this city and their
friends are very bitter in theis deuuncato-s q
the course of the County Commissioners, charac G
tcrzing that course as one Of usurpaton aud sn-
parogatiou This is not unexpected. The
law plaiuly lays down their duty, and in
no instance have they acted contrary to
those well defned duties. The law says apph
cans shall, 10 making an application for license
definitely describe the premises IN which they
propose to sell. This is the first requisite, AID
nearly every applicant failed 10 this. La the second
place it was necessary 10 satisfy the commission
that the applicants were mea OF good
character and fit to be eutrused with hcenSe.-
In THE they faxed. An impartial trial was bad 10
several cases aud the applicants failed to sustain
such character. II applies for adnis-
sion to the bar OF our courts he has to prove a
good character aud lit to be entrusted with the
business OF Lis clients. If he applies to become
a teacher il our free schools be must sustain "a
good character. hen why should not the liquor
seller be subjected 10 the same restriction? Bat
they say the law is unconstitutional because ID
some coenties licences are granted aud others not.
/ a some counties very bad men are admitted to
the bar and the same men would be rejected in
others Some school teacher examiners give
certificates TO men who could not get them from
Others, and yet, who ever heard of the school
law being unconstitutional for that reason?
We think the County Commissioners acted
legally in refusing licences they did, and deserve
the thanks OF all good cittizes for Their fidelity
to the law.
But it is said more hquor will be sold without
license than with it. \ fair enforcement OF the
law will control that matter. True. now, in some
instances liquor il sold by the quart and taken
into the street aud alleys adjoining aud drank II
this course is continued for any considerable
length of time, how long will it be before such
establishments will be branded as uuisaGces and
by law abated as such? Whenever the friends
of temperance can drive the scenes which trans
pire in the dark dens of the liquor seller into the
public street, and exhibit them in the broad g are
of day, they will soon arouse public sentiment to
their enormty, TO such degree that tkey will be
wiped out with power which cannot be re-
sisted
