The Mayors Sanitary Proclamation

We direct the attention of our
readers to the Mayors Proclamation
in reference to the Sanitary Regula-
tons of the city. The time is upon
us when a thorough renovation and
cleansing Of houses, out houses ad-
joining premises, and alleys should be
made by all citizens. It is important
that the instructions of the Mayor be
promptly followed by all. There are
now an abundance of City Ordinances
and Police Regulations, and we be-
lieve Insufficient disposition on the
part of the authorities. What is most
wanting is the hearty cooperation of
the people and more general observ-
ance of the existing Police Regula-
tions. If we are TO escape the pesti

lucky the credit for pluck and en-
ergy that they deserve. On learning
that JOHN FELAND, Esq, of Hop

despondently presumed that there
would be no Union candidate in the

Long May it Wave!

THE editor of the Courier is en-
tirely mistaken if he supposes that
the proprietors of the JOURNAL are
in any manuer disposed to break that
paper down. IF he has fallen into
that error, we hasten to correct him.
We have long since been con-
WINGED OF. the fact that it was to. eur
interest to have the Courier sustained,
for the reason that a Democratic
journal in this city is necessity, and
we cannot expect one to be better
conducted to suit our interests and the
prosperity of the Republican party.
The 'Coairter suits us exactly, if we
must have Democratic paper in this
city. fit were out of the way, an
other would arise whose enterprise
and rivalry might be more .>detrimen-
tai to the interests of the JOURNAL.
We certainly could not hope for an
organ of the Democracy which could
possibly commit more blunders, place
the party in more ridiculous positions,
or be more damaging to the cause
which it advocates We decidedly
prefer to have as our chief rival in
business a paper with circulation
stated by one of its late proprietors to
be less than 300 Daily, and not to
exceed 600 Daily and Weekly issues
com bined. And othen our neighbor

cept when its spellsV come upon it,

The First Kentucky District.

Col. G. &. SYMEs, of Paducah, the
Union candidate for Congress in this
District, is making a thorough can
vass, and meets his opponent, Judge
TRIMBLE, at every point where he
can induce him to stand fire. The
Judge, however, is loath to meet him,
and lodges his appointments when
ever he can, as he did at Smithland.
Col. SYMEs' speeches are marked
with decided ability and earnestness.
He has no apologies or concessions to
make for the Union party, and occu-
pies no middle ground. He is de-
cided in his support Of Congress and
the great Union party of the. North,
with which he claims to be 10 full
accord. He has no soft words or
kindly sympathy for the Rebel De-
mocracy, but attacks it as the author
of the great war of the rebellion, the
cause of all the troubles which have
afflicted Kentucky and the country,
and the creator of the mountain
of National ~<debt~which is now
pressing down so heavily upon the
people. One of the most encourage
ing evidences of the growth of the
Union element in the First District,
which has heretofore been almost
unanimous in its rebellious and DEM
ocratic procliyities, is the fact that
Col. SYMEs has been permitted to
speak everywhere in peace. and his
meetings have been attended by
respectable numbers, even in the
strongest Democratic counties. From
Princeton, Smithland, and other
points where he has spoken, we have
the most gratifying accounts OF the
manner in which the Union men re
ceive HE speeches; and the asSdr
ances that he will draw out the full
vote of bis party, though. itsmay. in;
the aggregate, be small compared
with the rebel vote The Union men
in. every county and community
should see to it that every loyal vote
is polled. The danger is that in the
general apathy and in the midst of
the busy farming season, many will
stay away from the polls. The Union
men should be awake and active from
now until the 4th of May, and, on the
day of election, rally their full
strength.

THE eight-hour men in, northern
Illinois are experiencing some diff :
Guilty in getting their new law into
operation. The directors of various
railroads manifest a Willingness to
constitute eight hours a days work,
but object to paying, for. eight hours
labor what they formerly paid for ten.

cupy the same position. bnIt is sup
posed all the railroads centering in
Chicago will do. the same. Should
this course be persisted in the law
will be of little benefit now it is
enacted. 1t will be very hard for the
employees to enforce the payment of
their usual wages while, cutting down
the hours of labor We shall watch
the issue of the contest with no little
interest. If the hours of labor can
be reduced in a manner satisfactory
to employers and employees, we be
lieve it should be done by all
means. But if change in the law is
to result only in strikes, misunder-
standings, examinations and recrimina-
tons, and Instructions in commerce
