postponed till next Tuesday night.
After the transaction of some other routine
business the Council adjourned.

One evening during the early part Of the
week, a robbery was effected in a novel way
from grocery, kept by Mr.. Harlow, on the
upper end of Royal street. The ground in
that section of the city being low and swampy,
the house in which the robbery was committed
is built on piles, which project to the level Of
the street. While the proprietor was out on
aneighborly visit, the thief, with an augur,
bored through the floor, at point over which
stood barrel Of whisky, and through the bot
tom Of the barrel. The liquor, of course, ran,
through the two openings, and was caught in a
tub held below.

The meeting Of the Union General Commit
tee, on Thursday evening" at the headquarters
in Twenty-third-st., report of which we pub
lished yesterday morning, was, we understand.
of unusual interest and spirit. Several Of the
speakers took the most radical ground on the
suffrage question and demonstrated with greN
force and clearness the necessity of making the
right to vote universal, without regard to color
Nothing could be palmer than that these opin-
ions met with the universal approval of the au-
dence. Among the resolutions passed was the
following, which will bear repetition:
ResOlced, That we urge upon the local conventions

and municipal Offices to nominate those only who poe.

laion from whatever source il emanste to unto vita
US in securing this end.
That this is sound doctrine nobody doubts; il
is no less true that its enforcement was never
more needed than at this moment. The Mozart
Convention, the other evening, said essentially
the same thing; and if that body Of Democrats
and the Republicans who rally at the Twenty.
third-st. headquarters will carry out this princi.
pie in good faith we shall have some reason to
hope for the publication of our politics. Tho

the one and the reform Of the other. Hero is
common ground for Mozart and Twenty third
st.. and if both will labor to put honest men in
office, without regard to party, We shall enter
upon new era. Let each be as good as iu
word.
We published, also, yesterday, an order from
the Navy Department, which is timely and
hopeful. 1t prohibits the assessment of the EN-.
ployes and the use Of the organization Of ths
Yard for party purposes. 1t is to be hoped thai
this order will be rigidly enforced by officers in
charge. and lOng-standing abuse corrected.
1t was only the other day that party of men
from the Navy-Yard, under command OF .
master-workmsn, took possession, early IN tS
afternoon, of place where primary meeting
was to be held in the evening, and permitted 40
one TO enter except by countersIgn, TIL the
place was sufficiently packed with their OWE
men to insure that the voting should
all be one way. 1t was in that way
that delegates were chosen from the Ward "a
90 to Syracuse. If the order from the SsTy.
Yard i. enforced, such outrages as these will b
stopped, and we may have something else than
q n,ockery of free election. The Navy Depart.
ment, however, may help to carry out its pur-
pose by inquiring if one Atkinson, now in pnso"
and to be tried to-day for al assault on the &C.
caSion just alluded to, rs still retained In ~
place in the Navy-Ysrd, and if so, whether ~
case may not be made good example.
