MH~THE Crescent Mills suspended oper-
atoms, yesterday, in order that the en-
ployees might attend the funeral of James
EIcburn, whose death was the result of the
accident that occurred in those mills on
last Tuesday. A large number of citizens
were also in attendance, and great sympa-
thy was manifested for the bereaved fami-
ly. The deceased was highly esteemed for
his excellent character and amiable dispo-
sition. Death is at all times an unwel-
come guest, even when lingering sickness
has prepared friends for the final separo-
ton, how much more so when the victim
is cut down in the morning of life, when
the heart beats strong with hope, and the
eye is undrmmed by sorrow. Truly, life is
a flower, which to-day blooms in beauty
and tomorrow is withered away.

on his distant relationship to Old Hickory,
concluded to get on drunk; and he did
get drunk, very drunk. John shocked the
moral sense of the community with his
horrid oaths, and even the very commonest
kind of decency hung its head and blushed
at his scurrillous obsceuity. Officer Haw-
ley arrested him, took him up and intro
duced him to Colonel Duty, who thought
there was another gentleman in town, with
whom John should become acquainted; so
he sent him around to board awhile with
Jailor Smith.

Ba%WE don't think that at any time for
years past, there has been so much drunk
enness and general dissipation in this
city, as there has been for some short time
back. Our attention has again and again
been called to this fact by numbers of our
citizens, until some of them have con-
cIuded that the press have made up their
minds to be as silent as anybody else. 1t
is not agreeable to the feelings of any per-
son who cherishes city pride, to have it
go forth to the world that condition of
things of this character exists in their
midst, and for that reason we have not said
as much as we otherwise should, although
we have, on repeated occasions, limited at
the unwclcome truth Still, however, it
is one of our duties to take cognizance of
these things, and we are not disposed TO
release ourselves from any just public ex-
pectation of US in THAT way. We can
scarcely think what it is proper for us to
say, and we halt between our duty to our
peace loving citizens, and our imperfect
knowledge of the sources and extent of
these nightly sprees and vcxatious annoy
"nces. 1t is, perhaps, proper that we
should first call general attention to these
complaints, in the hope that single call
may, like the first gentle medicine in an
attack of disease, prove efficacious, and
save US, our readers and all others inter-
ested, from the humiliation and vexation
that stirring up of such subject is
calculated to induce We make no
doubt but that our City Sergeant is
Inclined to put check, and, indeed,
SO far as he can an effectual stop
on all species of disorderly and dis
graceful conduct; but still, for all, it is
the universal feeling aud the universal
complaint, that there is a screw loose some
where, and that that somewhere is within
the scope of the police system. The great
trouble so far as We, ourselves. are con-
cerned, is that the complaints laid in be-
fore us are general in their character, and
not of that specific kind which might be
energetically reached and remedied. 1t is
complained, for instance, that it is exceed
ingly disagreeable for citizen to go ont
on the streets after night with his wife or
his daughter lest at every street cross
ing their ears are assailed with profanity
or obsccnity, more or less revolving. 1t
is complained again that the streets and
street crossings abound with squads Of
saucy youths, who subject passers by to
remarks that are very insulting, and yet
emanating frem such sources as they
do, forbid summary notice from the sub
]e"ts of them. tits complained that these

Correspondence ofthe Pioneer and Democrat.
SOUTH BEND, April 4, 1860
Our election yesterday resulted in glori-
Gus gains for the Democracy. This county
is the home of Senator WILKINSON and Sc
cretary BAKER, and last fall the Republican
party had TIA majority. Now, IL towns
give only rs Republican majority, with three
towns to hear from, which cannot possibly
increase their vote over 70 majority in the
aggregate-a Democratic gain of over LOO
in the county in five months. Mankato has
given 103 average Democratic majority. So
much for an extravagant and corrupt County
Board, imposing on us burdensome taxes;
and a Republican Legislature, with its infa-
nous registry law, contemplate partizan>
ship, unconstitutional laws, and unequalled
imbecility. Democrats here are jubiant,
and certain of a glorious victory next fall.
Yours, &C., OAK.

A NAN by the name of McTAv1sH

started for Pixies Peak with the Traverse
des Sioux company, last week, when about

towards him) accidentally discharged it,
shooting him through the head, and causing
instant death.
The Minneapolis liquor excitement, after
the amount of speech making usual to that
remarkable town, has "simmered down."
The last move was the formation of COM
mittee of fifty, friends of the liquor seller,
as law and order committee. This body,
through a sub committee, conferred with
those who proposed to abolish the liquor
traffic altogether. Wise counsels prevailed,
and the Ne'cs says both parties united upon
the same PLATFORM determination to
abide by the laws relating to the traffic, and
to enforce their rigorous application. The
temperance committee circulated pledge
among the dealers, binding them to comply
with the requirements and the restrictions
of the law regulating the sale of liquor,
which received their assent. The question
assumed a political aspect, and this reason
induced the Republican Maine law advo~
Gates to back down from their first position

could be con6scated and destroyed at will

Connecticut Election.

The Minnesot,an seems excited over the
result in Connecticut. 1t says the election
"has proved that the Republican party is
true to its principles" &c. The result, if it
has proved anything, has shown that the
Republican, and not the Democratic party,
is on the wane, and that it will take about
one year more to effectually wipe out Black
Republicanism in the wooden nutmeg

of upwards of s5,OoO--the largest ever cast
in the State-is but ST.. Last year he
carried the State by majority of 1870,

In 1856, FREMoNr's majority over b.
cHANAN was 1920. At the rate of pro-
erosion in the Democratic vote, indicated
by Col. SEYMouR's vote, Connecticut will
be all right next November.
