Many thirsty souls have banded themselves
together into Social Anti Excise Clubs which,
for obvious reasons, hold their meetings either
on Sunday or between midnight and sunrise An
ainitiation feeo is exacted Of each member, pro-
portionate to the estimated expenses of the
Club. If the company Is organized on cham
pagne principles the fee will be several dollars;
ift aspires tonothing higher than ordinary mixed
drinks, one can get in for 10 cents The COM
pany are invited to meet at forbidden hours in
some tavern or rum-shop, and get as much
drink as they want; only they pay for it in
checks, or vouchers, or tickets, or other evil
dences that their fees have been settled, instead
of violating the law by passing money across
the counter. We arc glad to see, however, that
the Excise Board is taking steps to stop such
daring evasions Of the act, and yesterday the
proprietor of one of these "clubs" had his
license revoked.

failure of its chief design, the defeat of the
Government is most apparent. jules Favre
promptly replied to the Minister that the
French army had returned from Mexico, leav-
ing their unfortunate eOuntrymen entirely de-
fenseless NJ. Rouher had no reply to this
bitter truth; he could not announce q new
expedition to compel the payment of the
French debt, and to avenge the death Of Max
imilian or to protect the French residents in
Mexico. His silence confirmed the assertion of
the Liberals that the Mexican Expedition must
be set down in every respect as most disas
trous failure, and that both the Government
and the country fully realize the defeat

If there is any radical difference Of charac,
ter between the two sexes, the women and not
the men have the advantage. A London
matchmaker named Watkins first seduced hif
sweetheart, and then beat her nearly to death
with piece Of lead, and Stabbed her in IL
places. The poor girl survived the outrage
and fed the country so that she could not bt
forced to appear against him. The Londos
papers publish pathetic letter written by hef
to the brute after his arrest 81 am waiting
anxiously in the hope of hearing that you
81 are free, and l am looking for the time wher
eve shall be united and happy once again, fol
without you 1 cannot be happy. All the past
" is forgot" For the girls sake it is gratifying
to know that she will never have an opportu-
nifty again of trusting herself to the mercy of the
man who so cruelty injured her. Watkins was
sentenced to 20 years penal seryitude.

The regular periodical rumors of revolution
in Cuba were published in this city yesterday.
Probably there is no more foundation for them
now than there was on the many previous oc-
casions when they obtained currency. The
press correspondent, however, is somewhat exc
cited by the precautions adopted by the au-
thorities at Havana, and well calls them eek
traordinary.n Officers are forbidden to leave
their barracks without sword and revolver
which indicates fear of a popular rising; but
" sergeantsr are not allowed in the streets in
groups of over three-which points to appre-
hension of military mutiny. And why SER
geants any more than corporals or privates :
To complete the gloomy and mysterious pic
ture we are told that the unfortunate night
watchmen are "kept in constant notion"

The deaths in this city last week numbered
5S2. Although this number is 153 less than tho
average for the corresponding week of the six
preceding years, and 7SO less than during the
third week of July, 1906, yet we find that $50
Of last weeks deaths-or about As per cent of
the whoe-were Of children under one year of
age, while in Brooklyn the deaths of infants
reached the high proportion Of 4s per cent.
The greater number Of these children died Of
grasping landlords and heartless house owners.
The Seventh, Tenth Eleventh. and Twenty
second Wards furnish SO Of these Juvenile vie
tins, five-sixths Of all the deaths in the Twenty
second Ward having occurred in the immedi-
ate vicinity Of local nusances. The unusually
wet weather of the present season is favorable
to health, so long as it lasts, but the time of
danger will come when the rain has ceased and
the ground is rapidly drying. To see to it that
his premises are thoroughly cleansed and disin-
fectants provided in abundance, is every citi-
zen's duty to the community at large as well

ALBERT G. BROWN, who was once Senator
of the United States from Mississippi and is
now prescribed Rebel" addressed Recon-
structon meeting near Jacksonville, Miss,
short time ago, and urged the holding of
Convention and the acceptance of the terms
proposed by Congress without delay or cavil"
This is good advice, and it is advice which we
are glad to know that many of the ex-Rebela
are giving. They are better friends to their
people now than those who would force upon
the South the Presidents obstruction policy.

The Hell Gate pilot act of 1847, amended in
1856, forbade the towing of any vessel of over
fifty tuns through He'll Gate without pilot,
under penalty of 800 fine and sixty days i'm
prisOnment. The tug-boat owners contend thas
this act is unconstitutional, inasnuch as il con-
fiicts with the jurisdiction of Congress over
domestic commerce. A test case has therefore
been brought before the United States Circuit
Court, and its further hearing postponed to
the 18th of September 1t is of great import
ance that this vexed question should be finally
settled at as early q day as possible. The
owners of all coasting vessels above the desig-
mated tunnage are pecuniarily concerned in
it, as are the owners of all barbOr tugs How
ever the present question is decided, the OBJ
structOns to navigation through He'll Gate
should be removed as speedily as possible, and
then all necessity for any special legislation
upon the subject will have passed away.
New-York tribune., 1867-07-26

Democracy everywhere is a contradiction.
and new proof of its absurdities is given by
the recent Democratic Convention of Marion
County, Indiana. The Indiana Democrats are
firstly, opposed to negro suffrage; secondly,
they think legislation should be in the interests
and for the benefit Of the laboring men. We
do not see how these propositions can be recon-
ciled, and probably there is no desire on the
part of their sponsors that they should be. IL
negroes cannot vote, what security have they
that legislation will protect them2 The Demo-
Gratis, however, have an easy escape from their
dilemma; it is a part of their creed that the
negro, in state of freedom, is not labering
man, and the reports OF the Freedmen's Bu-
reau the industrial returns of the South, are
insufficient to Convince them of their mistake.

with dismissal unless they consent to vote the

Warsaw and Rockford Railroad Meeting.

Our citizens, in common with people gen.
orally who have at heart their pecunlary IN
terests and the welfare present and prospect
i've. of the localities where they reside, are
alive to the importance of securing the ad-
vantages that will accrue to them from a
completion of the north and south line OF
road from Port Byron to Warsaw, which will
open up direct avenue Of trade from Min.
nesota to Louisiana.
The old board of directors met on Tues
day, and Tuesday evening the court house
was crowded with an attentive and earnest
audience, to listen to speeches and sugges
tons.
Judge Edmunds, the president OF the
Carthage and Burlington road was present,
and explained the prospects OF his proposed
road and, further, explained a proposition
which he intended making to our directors
for consolidation of the two roads from a
point near Warren to Dallas City.
President Thornton made a speech, during
which we were glad to hear him give utter.
to the confident belief that the scotch Com,
pany," having no ''resting place in Port
Byron, or even in Rock Island, acouJd Ger.
taimly at no distant day be bound to seek
an outlet south over our road. When he
was here few months ago, Mr.. Z. was toler-
ably poitive that these capitalists would do
nothing more in the way of extending their
line. We tho't then that he was mistaken
and are glad to find that he has seen enough
since to cause him to change his opinion.
Mr.. Abbott, from Rock Island, created
quite sensation by remarking, in his speech,
that he visited Oquawka for the purpose of
making proposition to the board to build
the entire line of road within three years. If
Mr.. A. should succeed in securing such a
contract, and manifest BIZ his works that he
can carry it into effect, he viii find that the
people along the line will do their share III
lending him assistance Oquatcko Specta-
tator Nay ID.
The following named gentlemen were cleo
ted as the new board of directors: Hancock
county Messrs. John f. Johnston, Adam
Swartz, and Amrie Doolittie. Henderson
county-John McKinny, ST., and William
Lomax; Mercer county-Thomas B. Ca
been; Rock Island-John Bufum and 7.
j. Robinson; st. Louis-John S. McCune.
The board meet on the 18th of May to ell
ect a new president. Propositions to build
the road were submitted, but no particular
action taken on them. The amendment to
the charter obtained at the last session of the
Legislature, allowing conditional subserip-
tons, was taken up and accepted by the
board.
