Sunday Law.

1t will be remembered that the last Leris-
lature passed a law for the observance of the
Sabbath, and that such law took effect on
the first of August. For the information of
all interested we copy the act as it stands on
the statute book of 1861:
Section l. Any person who shall hereafter
keep open on the lst day of the week, com
monty called Sunday, any store, workshop,
bar, saloon, banking house, or other place Of
business, for the purpose of transacting bust.
ness therein, except as hereinafter especially
provided, shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and on conviction thereof shall be punished
by fine of not less than five nor more than
fifty dollars.
Sec 2. The provisions of this Act shall not
apply to the keeping open of hotels, boarding
houses, restaurants, taverns, livery stables,
retail drug stores for the legitimate business
of each), or such manufacturing establish
ments as are necessarily kept in con-
tinual operation to accomplish the business
thereof; nor to the sale of milk. fresh meats
fresh fish, and vegetables.
Sec. 8. Prosecutions for violation of this
Act may be either by complaint to Magis.
trate, or by indictment by Grand jury, and
all fines and collections upon convictions un-
der this Act shall be paid into the common
school fund of the county.
Sec. 4. This Act shall be in force from and
after the first day of August, 1861.
AS to the constitutionality of this act we
have nothing to say, but opine that its merits
will be tested by some who are curious on the
subject. The belief is general that it was
framed to avoid the complications of the law
of '58, that Judge Terry, while on the Su-
preme Bench, decided to be unconstitutional,
Judge Burnett concurring, and Judge Field,
the present Chief Justice, dissenting.
We confess to a certain obtuseness of in
tellect and dullness of comprehension in this
matter, that is scarcely reconcilable with the
opinions in question. We cannot see the
pertinency of the reasoning that groups the
constitutional proviso of g acquiring, pos
sessing and protecting property, and pursu-
ing and obtaining happiness" in this con-
nection. Measures will be adopted in the
course of short time that will finally sett e
this matter. The Supreme Court will be ap-
pealed TO on what may be termed made up
case, and the decision will remove all and
any doubts that may trouble the consciences
of those who may have scruples on the SUBJ
ject.

We give an account to-day of brilliant skirmish
at Fredericton, Missouri, in which portion of
General Grants division, under Colonel Plummer,
defeated the rebels under General Lowe and
JET. Thompson, estimated at 5000 strong.
Lowe was killed, and the losses on the Union side
included Major Gavitt and Captain Hyman, of the

said to be very heavy. Four guns were captured
by the Union forces.

CORPORATION ADVERTISING AND THE LOCAL
ELECTIoNs.-The lower branch of the Common
Council, at their session on Monday evening,
concurred in the resolution of the Board Of
Aldermen adding the World to the list Of Cor
poration papers. This ends the controversy
that has been going on ever since the demise of
the Daily Neacs, which expired through the fear
OF Ben. Wood that the administration would
place him in the fashionable secession boarding
housc-Fort Lafayette rendering it neces-
sary that another paper should be named as
the Corporation advertising sheet. The con-
testants for this particular job, estimated to be
worth $1,000 year, are the Tribune, Times
and World, all three leaving no stone unturned
to secure it. They were all forced by their
necessities to get it or starve and there has
been nice little quarrel between them, and
all manner of toadying to the powers that be
at the City Hall; but with all the dancing and
jeremy diddling of the "little villain" of the
Times, the combinations, intrigues and silence
on local politics by the Tribune philosophers,
the World has beaten them both and carried off
the prize. The Tribune and Times will no
test in our local elections.
There appears to be considerable mystery in
regard to the influence that has secured to the
World this advertising patronage, which it
stood so much in need Of, and which has proved
so heavy loss to the Tribune and Times. The
Among the owners, managers, &C., of the World
is pious family by the name of Bangs,
who beat the Beecher family in religion.
One brother, we understand, is one of the
managers, and another stakeholder, as well
as prominent auctioneer. 1t seems that the
moment the latter obtained the nomination for
an important city Office from one of the numer-
Gus Union organizations he suddenly became
man of influence with the City Hall philoso
piers, one Of the leaders of the tribe being in
nomination for the same Office by two or three
other conventions.
The sequel shows that the Bangs family I'M
derstand the political Ring, and know how to
form a ring in religious matters also. A resolu-
ton was put through the Board of Aldermen
for the especial benefit Of the Bangs family,
naming the World as the Corporation paper
the successor to the Daily Neaos. AT the next
meeting of the Marshall organization Mr..
Lemuel Bangs declines the nomination for
County Clerk. AT the first meeting Of the
Councilmen after that declinaton the Alder
manic resolution passes that board and the
World is on the list. Here we find the political
Ring and the pious Ring united together, and
the World secured to the combination.
The Tribune, having been outwitted, is said to
have commenced issuing stock to obtain the ne
cessary funds to keep their concern from going
under, while the Times will be compelled to
throw its paper on the market as its last resort.
Really, what commotion, revolution and
change these rings are making in the political
and newspaper world.
