Individually we think the Legislature
did foolish thing in lacking an amend
ment to the liquor law. aprohibiting
the sale Of wine and ale in less quanti-
ties than FIVE gallons" In SO doing,
in our opinion, our Legislature made
the prohibitory law almost impossible
of execution. A stringent license law
would be worth dozen liquor laws of
the present stamp, in practical utility.
Pontiac Gazette. faOT
Opinions like the above are freely
expressed by almost every man We
meet. We think it more likely than
not that it will make finish of prohib-
tory legislation in this State. and as
consequence, we shall no doubt soon
begin to hear of numerous advocates
for return to the old license system.
We believe that licence law careful
ly guarded would be enforced in al
most every locality in the State.
Practically speaking, the question now
is, shall we have a license law with
proper restrictions which will be rigid
y enforced, or dead letter prohibitory
law, which commands no respect from
any quarter.-Ionia Gazette. =.

The New Tariff.

Owing to the disturbed condition of
the country, and the low tariff move
ment of the "Southern Confederacy''
it seems to be apprehended on all sides
that the Morrill, Tariff Act, passed by
the late Congress, is destined to greatly
embarrass the Government, which at
this time is certainly to be regretted {;
and desirable as protective tariff on
imports may be in this country in ordi-
nary times, or as a settled principle, its
adoption under present circumstances
is questionable.
Among the New York journals it
finds but few friends, even among those
who have hitherto been classed on the
side of protection, nearly all of whom
pronounce it an injudicious and i'll
timed measure. 1t is fact, that what
may be the very best thing for us in
ordinary times, might prove one of the
very worst things for us in extraordi-
nary times-and this, we apprehend, is
the case with this Tariff business, at the
present juncture.
We have always been heartily in
favor of Protective Tariff; but if its
adoption at this present time shall ag-
gravate our political, commercial and
financial embarrassments, we deem ii
matter of expediency to defer it till
more favorable time, when the eoun.
try shall be in a condition to be. proft.
ted by it, and the Governmental po-
sition to enforce and be benefited by it.

The April Elections.

The Chicago Tribune of the Sd inst.
reports the result of the April elections
as follows:
The State election in Connecticut
has resulted in the triumph of the Re-
publican ticket by an increased MAORI
ty. The Democrats have, however
carried the lid Congressional District
(New Haven and Middlesex counties),
by about 500 majority. The w Dis
trict Fairfield and Litchfeld) is still in
doubt. Both these Districts have gen.
orally been democratic, although two
years ago, John Woodruff was elected
in the former by 922 majority, and Orris
S. Ferry in the latter by 567-both Re-
publicans.
The Republicans have not Jared so
we'll in the municipal elections of ST.
Louis, Cincinnati and Cleveland. In
st. Louis all the factions united on what
they called an" Anti-Republican" tick
ct, which has been elected 5y from
1000 to 5000 majority. Last fall the
anti-republican forces combined beat
the Republicans by $3.50 votes. While
these figures indicate a decided Repub-
lican gain, the result is not what we had
anticipated. Cincinnati has gone Dem
ocratic as usual, and Cleveland not as
usual. r-e a...e
The loss of these municipal elections
is somewhat ameliorated by a decided
Republican triumph in Dubuque, which
is generally good for 500 Democratic
majority. The Republicans have car
ried it this time by 2S3 majority.
How far these result may be charged
BILE to the proposed evacuation of Fort
Sumter we will not undertake to say, but
we are confident that if the country had
been advised as it now is, of the rein
forcement of Fort Pickens, and had
been assured of the vigorous policy at
Washington which that act foreshad-
ows, there would have been no difficult
ty in carrying all three of these cities
by handsome majorities, for the Repub-
lican candidates.
The Cincinnati Gazette, in speaking
of the defeat of the Republicans in that
city, says:
Anticipating the questions that will
be asked, as to the cause of this Water
loo defeat, we may say that Sumter did
it. The Republicans, dissatisfied and
discouraged, had no heart to work, and
they surrendered, without seriously
contesting the field. And if a temper

Two years later he returned to Mexico,

government allowed his widow pen

where she has lived since 1923, and has

The Election ON Monday.


Though fall returns of the election in
this State on Monday, have not yet
been received, they are sufficient to in
dictate the general result. That can be
briefly summed up. The Republicans
have elected their candidate for Judge
of the Supreme Court by an indefinite
majority; have secured a majority of
the Board of Supervisors in nine-tenths
of the counties, and very large ma
iority of the other township officers
voted for, and Judge Of Probate in
the only county in which one was to
be chosen. The majority for Judge
Manning cannot be less than thirty
thousand, and may reach forty, not
withstanding the disunion and disuni-
ted Democratic party ran a dozen can
didates against him. os u 49, !,
We may have lost few supervisors
in the aggregate, though we are by no
means certain of that. At any rate, we
have an immense majority in the State
not less than two to ne,-and we
have not heard of any county in which
we had majority of the Board last
year, that we do not retain it this. Our
losses have been in the villages and
cities, and were produced mainly, by
the" five gallon" act. No where has
there been any evidence of that :" reac-
ton" which has so long been promised.
On the whole, therefore, so far from
there being anything to dishearten the
Republican party, there is everything
to encourage and stimulate them. r55
No election yet held in the State, has
so thoroughly proved the strength OF
Republican principles, as that on Mon
day. Nothing had been done during
the canvass to bring out the Republic

gate; the increased rate of taxation was
constantly rung in the ears of the tax
payers, and last of all, the people had
every where begun to complain of what
they feared was to be timid and com
promising policy on the part of the
National Administration towards the
Southern traitors.
But in spite of all these embarrass.
ments and obstacles, the Republicans
have nearly or quite held their own in
the State. Under these circumstances,
every Republican was prepared fol-
large losses in supervisors and other
township officers. AS well as in the
popular vote. The disunion Democra.
ey could find no man who would con
sent to be their candidate for Judge, SC
far from detracting from the brilliancy
of our victory, should add to it; for il
proves how little hope they have o.
making any breach in our ranks, and
that they understand that nothing will
ever drive the Republicans of Michi
gan from their principles. The party
which could achieve such a triumph
under so many adverse circumstances
as the Republicans did on Monday,
have little to fear from open enemies,
at least.-Det. lido.

one hundred Delinquent postmasters in
