We respectfully call the attention Of the City
Council, at Its meeting tomorrow evening, to
the condition of the City Hall cells. We are not
disposed to be captious or fault-fnding, nor to
raise Issues unnecessarily. A moments consid-
Grafton of the testimony already adduced as to
the unfitness of the cells as place of confine-
ment, and their danger to the public health, will
show that we are not unreasonaby meddlesomc,
but only niexby just to the public interests in
demanding that the Council shall not slur over
the matter, oyading the issue and their duty, but
meet it squarely, and show the reason for theil
decision.
In the first place, our own personal inspection
| of the cells convinced us of the horrible condi
tion of these cells, and that it cannot be cffectual
ly remedicd On formal complaint to the Boart
of Health, that body, through its proper officers
visited them, and decided them to be publ
nuisance, dangerous to the health of the people
and directed the nuisance to be abated within tel
days, no longer time being thought prudent, a
this season, when the most rigid sanitary regula
tions must be enforced.
Beside this evidence, at least one member O
the Council has personally visited the cells AM
can inform the Council of their condition. II
is such us should be permitted to exist we hav
nothing to say If it Is not, we insist that it b
| remedled. Is this not reasonable 7

OUR LETTER BOX.


.nessrs. Editors There has been much said
about low fares, &C., and the general impression
seems to be that the railroad company have stood
in their own Light by charging too much fare be-
tween Philadelphia and Wilmington, in fact high
or than other Railroads. But when read the
last placard of the disaeresfed proprietors of the
steamer Hancox, became alarmed for the inter-
est of our city.
We are told that the terrible Railroad monopoly
seeks " 10 suck the life blood of our commercial
prosperity" and arc implored to como forward
and 'put our shoulders to the rheet,"a Us "every
one must work as one man to resist their tyran-
meal usurpation.'
Thinking there might be some ground for this
impending era was curious to know the fare OF
Railroads leading out Of Philadelphia, and find the
following table to be correct, and desire you to
publish it, believing it will be of Interest to some
of yoIr many readers,

WASHINGTON, July 81.-Trial resumed. Mer-
rick addressed the jury for defcnseI said he
would show there has been conspiracy to commit
murder under forms of law. The counsel for the
prosecution. represented by officers of govern
ment, arc seeking for their own purposes the
shedding of innocent blood, and persistently
urge every feeling and sentiment to excite pre-
judlcc against the prisoner. Why call him trail
tor and murderer, and charge him with murder
of Union soldiers here?
Mr.. Merrick said, at the commencement that
the indictment was simple Indictment for MUIR
der and it was not until the prosecution found
their original view thwarted, that they commenced
10 try the prisoner for conspiracy, they brought
witnesses to prove murder and we proved the
witnesses to be mass of most offensive corrup-
tlon, and thread by thread we broke the strand
with which they purposed to unite the prisoner
with the body of the crime.

LOTS OF LTONOP

The history of the various phases through
which the business of selling liquor has pass
ed, in this State, is remarkable one. With
out going very deeply into details, it will be
enough to mention few prominent facts
About 1913, the Legislature authorized n
vote in each county whether liquor should
be sold at all,or not. Kent and Sussex voted
Yes, New Castle, No. The attempt how
ever, to prevent sale, led to test of the law
in the State Court, and after John NJ. Clay
tons argument on it, it was decided uncon-
stitutional
lew years later, the Legislature enacted
copy of the Maine law, and this, after he
ing deliberately defcd in one prominent in
stance in Wilmington, was repealed by the
next Legislature. Since that, we have had
license system making the privilege of sell
ing liquor discretionary grant by til,
Courts, under certain specifications.
But the law Of last session imposes ne
limit upon the traffic whatever, except thu
necessary payment of the amount of III,
license. 1t is the most unlimited law know
IN Delaware, for many years at least. T,
enact it at all seemed liked dangerous OK
pertinent, and there would probably hay
been greatly more hesitation in thus throw
ing the doors wide open, had it not been 70
the necessities of the State Treasury. Tn
revenues had to be increased; more none
must come from somewhere, and the gentle
men who have the honor as well as the re
sponsibility of running the machine, in Del,
ware, concluded to raise it, by presenting
) Nquor license to any one who could pay I'll
cash. Accommodations for the travelir

Senator CoiIamer on the Guaranty

When we wrote our recent somewhat OK
haustive article on the obligation of the Uni
ted States to protect the Republican Form
ofGovcrnment in the States, we were igno-
rant of a speech of Senator Collamer, of
Vermont, on the same subject The Wash
ington Chronicle quotes from it as follows.
showing that his views on substantial points
were the same as our own =
In the first place, that guarantee can
only be kept and redeemed by preserving
the States within the Union. That is me-
cessarily implied. That is the guar
antee to the minority in State. No man
who will read Mr.. Madisons remarks upon
the subject can be mistaken in that. The
very nature of the thing implies that The
majority in State can shape their form OF
government as they please without any heir
from Congress, but the provision was in.
serted for fear the minority might be over
borne, especially, said Mr.. Madison, in {
slaveholding State. The guarantee was
therefore inserted for the security of mi
nority in State, though there may be bu
one man there to redeem Sodon.
Again 1t is guarantee from which tn,
States can never discharge the United
States. You may say that when they max,
war on us they discharge us from an obliga
tion in the matter, but that is impossible
The guarantee is not merely for the PEG
pie of that State, it is a guarantee made 70
all the States in the Union" He then goe
on to suppose a condition of Society in
State which would make republican gov
eminent impossible, and says that 1t woul
become the duty of Congress ''to preserv
our plighted faith," by abolishing impedi
ments, "for we cannot keep our guarante
; without doing IT,"

THE .SCLENCE oF C1RCLE.S

The ancient problem Of squaring the cir
Gle, and the modern performance Of swing
ing around the circle, are familiar to the
public. But new development in circular
science just now arrests attention. 1t results
from an inquiry, very earnest in its charac-
ter, which is being made in some sections
South of the border, as to the circle" in
which the former aristocracy of slaveholding
days will now be able to "move." The days
when one slave in family was sufficient
evidence of social position as well as politi-
cal soundness, being gone entirely, it now
becomes very serious question what, in
future, is to distinguish, the real (black and
blue blood, heightened Southern gentlemen,
from the pusillanimous, spirited Yam
kee, who loves peace and order, better than
lynch law, and who would rather harness
his horses in pillow team than ride them in
a tournament Leisure to hang about
bar rooms, arrayed with bowie knife and
revolver, or 10 indulge in the manly pastime
cock-fghting, is no longer at the COM
mand of the chivalry, since they are reduced
to the lamentable necessity of earning their
own livelihood.
This fearful uncertainty whether hereafter,
labor Is not likely to be more reputable than
] laziness. and intelligence to stand higher in
the public regard than ignorance, 10 ,rossuo-
ing, as we have limited, something of an un-
settled condition in circles" In our neigh
boring State OF Maryland number of gentle
men recently summoned to Washington TO
4 testify as to the character of another gentle
man, who had been guilty of the slight &C.
centricities of being rebel spy, deserving
his wife and children, etc. ,deposed that they
nevertheless thought very highly of him,
since he had, during his residence in theii
town, ''always moved in the highest circles.
His short comings in any other direction were
amply compensated by that fact, and the
pure aristocracy who spoke in his behal
could sound no loftier note of praise. Blu
it is not likely that their conclusions will e
unimpcachcd, owing to the circular confusion
existing, and though the chivalrous BRADLEY
should rave and bully in behalf of all tn,
best society in the South, as he does for tn,
individual members whom he produces a
witnesses for Surratt, it is hardly probabl
that the former highest circle of gentilit
will remain unbroken. 1t was a charme
circle only while slavery lasted, and tina
spell Of protection is dissolved.
