SANITARY.-As the sanitary police grow
strict in the enforcement of the health regHla-

crease their activity and make their visits
regularly in the various wards. There have
been numerous complaints of the non -atten-
tion of the garbage men in some localities.
This may be caused by the anxiety of house,
holders to comply with the law in most cases,
but the garbage contractors cannot fail to see
the nece sslty for prompt attention to duty
during the present season.

stantially rs follows:
Ny friend, about twelve months
ago, you were committed to this pris-
on for the alleged crime of passing

that you are an innocent man, and
serving out an unjust sentence. The

The Danger Before Us.

Governor English, of Connecticut,
is a safe, strong and sagacious man.
OF the value of the precedent Con-
grcss has made, he thus speaks in
his message;
Will the precedent thus set by
Congress be forgotten? Will the
Constitution, which is impotent to
restrain the fury of a majority to-day,
become the sacred shield il once was
for the minority Tomorrow? Will
the sword that is so easily drawn to
establish a constitution now, be al
lowed to rest in its sheath If needed
TO overthrow n constitution hereafter.
Ii has been the honest boast and
just glory of the soldier that he ha,
saved to our people their old flag
without a star displaced or a stripe
broken.-but useless has been the
sacrifice, il the people no longer re
tain their faith in constitutional gov.
ernment. II the charter OF our lib.
critics has been lost, nothing has beer
won. More than ever, at the pres.
ent time, should any infraction O
the Constitution he regarded as Q
public calamity. BY the vast increas'
of our public Indebtedness ever,
question which coucerns the govern.
ment credit comes home to ever,
person in the land. BY that credi
all values are measured. IL lies a
at the foundation Of all our wealth
our industry-of society itself. NJ
calamities OF the past can exceed
those which will bcfall us if th,
public credit should give way. Blu
how isit TO be preserved If the su
preme law of the land is itself rcpu
diatedg In what market Of th'
world Is that government truste,
which is swayed by REVOLUTIONARY
factions, intent only upon the graft
fication Of ambition or the indulgence
of partisan resentment Had th'
effort. Of Congress been properly
directed, the industry and trade 0
the whole country would long sine
have felt the grateful influence ant
the public credit has been strength
