IT seems to us that there u entirely too
much carelessness evinced by riders and dri-
vers in running their horses over the walks.
We notice IN various parts of the city where
plank walks have been badly broken by being
driven upon, and yesterday evening we saw
man who rode on the pavement and kept
his animal standing there for some time,
while he conyersed with friend. Now this
is not right, and the parties who do those
acts are fully aware of their mischief and
we hope some of them viii be gobbled y
BY the police and fined for such reprehensi.
BILE behavior.

It was fact we'll known during the
war, that the movements of the Federal
armies had political as well as a mili-
tary significance. The same is now true
with respect to gold operations. The
following, from the New York cores
pondence of the Philadelphia Ledger,
will illustrate;
There can be no doubt that there is a
much closer understanding between Wall

generally suspect Thus, no sooner was
the gold room open this forenoon

expelled from Congress for the crime OF
being Democrat, delivered an eloquent
address in New Orleans last week.

to do my bidding in the council and in
the field in the late awful contest, /
would surrender myself as the principal,
and welcome death with smile of JOY.
No people can do this thing and ever
again lift their eyes to the sun without
blistering with shame. Of course do
not argue such a question with you. L
only state my own convictions, and !
think share them in common with a
majority of the Northern people. No
