The Board of Health and the street
Pedcrs.

The obstruction of the sidewalks by pedlers'
stalls has for a long time been complained
against as a nuisance. While il may be very
convenient for little folks to get their toys and
candies at these pedlers' stands they are none
the less nuisance to people of business,
to whom time is money, and to thousands to
whom free access through the streets is all
important The city government having failed
to remove The grievance, the Board of Health
have prosecuted it as nuisance and viola
lion of the law before one Of our courts, making
q test case to decide the matter. 1t appears
that the Corporation, through its attorney, has
resisted the claim Of the Board of Health, aud
this official in the name of the city, appeared
10 defend the defendant, who, il was claimed,
had permit from the city 90 carry on his
business as a fruitercr on the sidewalk OF
Barclay and West streets. This will no doubt
prove TO be an interesting case and will en-
able the Board of Health to ascertain, in
clicting the testimony for the benefit of the
public. how much the city treasury really re-
ceivcs for DE. permits thus alleged to be issued
Tor the obstruction of the sidewalks by peders
stalls. II Is a matter in which every one has
an interest.

The Presidential Campaign.


The following is copy of letter ad-
dressed to J. H. McKenney, Esqr. a
member of the national democratic exc
cutive committee, from August Belmont,
its chairman: "a
Nep Fork, March I'd, 1868.
j. II. NMoKEsNEY, ESQ. Dear Sir: ]
have forwarded to you the call Of the dem
ocratic national committee for the holding
of the next national convention in the city
of New York, ON the 4th of July next,
You will please confer with the State
central committee of your State, to the
end that she be fully represented in the
convention by the number Of delegates to
which she is entitled The national COM
mittee is very desirous that an earnest ap-
peal should be made to the conservative
element throughout the Union which has
not heretofore acted with the democratic
party. We call upon every democratic
voter to unite with us in our efforts to
save our free institutions from the lawless
despotism which now threatens the very
foundation of our government. 1t is only
BY the united action of all who love the
Union and the constitution that we can
hope to drive from power in the next pres
idcntial election the radical party, which,
by its representatives in Congress, has at
tempted to usurp the functions of the ju-
dietary and executive branches of the
government, and which, by profigacy ant
corruption in the management of our ma
tional finances, continues to burden oul
people with a system of taxation which
must end in public and private disaster
unless arrested by wise, sound and eco
nomical policy, such as a democratic ad
ministration is sure to give us. | hop
you will lose no time in order to caus'
such measures to be taken in your State a
will bring to our aid in the contest befor
us the combined strength of all thos
who are opposed to congressional usurpa
ton and negro supremacy, and who wis
the restoration of peace and unity betwee
all the sections of our common country
under the blessings of the laws and tn
constitution, for which our brave soldier
and sailors shed their blood, and the ma
ton poured out its treasure.
AUGUST BELMONT, Chairman.

INCREASE OF SGIcIDEs.- New York
World is compiling an appalling record of
recent suicides CLEANED from but one days
exchanges from all parts of the country,
clearly showing that the suicide mania is
now epidemic. They appear largely to
predominant in the West The writer tells
us, however, :" that as many as twelve or
fifteen suicides have occurred in New York
city within as many days, and in the ag-
gregate of the cases there and elsewhere
the majority of the self-murderers are wo-
men. The causes of these suicides are
various, some being from ill-suceess in bu-
siness, some from intemperance, both male
and female some from domestic infelicity,
others from insanity, ill-health, etc.

+. Sergeant Bates, of Wisconsin, has pass
ed through the South, from Vicksburg,
Miss. to Washington, bearing with him
the Stars and Stripes. He arrived in
Washington on Tuesday last and escorted
by band of music and large concourse
of citizens he called upon the President,
who received him cordially. He next
proceeded to the Capitol, with view of
putting his flag on the dome of that build
ing, but he was denied entrance. He
was treated with respect at every step of
his progress through the South, and only
met with repulse at the nations Capitol.
The journey was undertaken for wager,
to demonstrate that the Southern people
were not hostile to the Flag of the Union.

There was spirited debate in the Sen
ate on Wednesday, says the Baltimore
Sun, on the bill to defray the expenses of
the impeachment trial. The bill which
was passed, appropriates the large sum of
1922, 600. During the debate some inte-
resting disclosures were made in relation
to an alleged defalcation OF $40, 900 by a
financial clerk of Mr.. Forney, the Secre-
tary of the Senate. 1t was resolved to ap-
point special committee to inquire into
all the facts. Mr.. Cameron sanctioned the

TIE CHESAPEAKE BAY PIRAcY.-Two
negroes calling themselves William Will
son and William Wells, were arrested
one in, and the other near Drummond-
town, Accomac county, Va, on the 9th
and 7th inst. by Constable David T. Top
ping, for the murder of Captain Benjamin
johnson and Henry Cannon, of the
schooner Brave. They were brought to
this town and lodged in Jail on the 10th
instant, by Constable Topping and John
Larmore, Esq. They confess that the
thrown overheard.
The other two parties now at large are
named George Baily and Frank Rounds.
We learn that one of these parties has
been seen in Accomac county, Va. and il
is supposed that both of them are still
lurking in that county Herald
The Herald of Tuesday, says 1t was
rumored here yesterday that another pi-
racy had been perpetrated in our waters
Captain Bramble, belonging to Dorchester
county, whilst asleep in his berth, was
aroused by noise as of weighing anchor
and on getting up to ascertain the fact
found the cabin door closed. This arous
ing his suspicion, he seized his pistol,
and forced his way out. The negro at tht
helm made a rush at him with handspike
when he fird, killing the negro instantly
The other negroes, five in number, alsc
made at bin, and he killed them all sav,
one, who asked for mercy. The captain
scared him and made him steer the yes
sci up to Cambridge, where he delivered
himself and the darkey up to the authori
ties. 1t is supposed that they intended t.
get the vessels underway and then kill thu
captain for his money.

Monday last, the 18th instant, was the
birthday of the illustrious Jefferson,
which was duly celebrated in New York
1t was also the birthday of the eloquent
Henry Clay, another distinguished son of
the Old Dominion, g the mother of States
and Statesmen" Though now prostrate
beneath the heel of tyrannical power, the
record Of her former glory and greatness
cannot be obliterated. For that glory,
and for that greatness, she. is indebted to
her many distinguished sons.
Tuesday last, the 18th instant, was the
third anniversary of the assassination of
President Lincoln, which occurred on
Good Friday, which that year fell upon
the 18th of April
Mr.. Jefferson was born in Albemarle
county, in 1743, and died on the 4th Of
July 1926, the fftieth anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence. Ex-Presi-
dent John Adams of Massachusetts, died
on the same day. The death of these
two distinguished men, on the same day,
and it the close of the first half centur,
of our nations independence, was not a lit
tie remarkable, and was the cause of muci
comment at the time. With regard t.
Mr.. Lincoln, it was not the less remark
able, that in letter which he wrote,
short time before his death, in alluding t.
the war, he said, " however it may termi
nate. ! have prescntiment that shall no
long survive it."

appointment in the courts. Mr.. Cox tes-
titled that he was employed professionally
by the President, in the presence of Cen
eral Thomas, for that purpose, and Mr..
Merrick, another of the counsel for Cen
eral Thomas, that, after the arrest of Gen
eral Thomas, he went to the Presidents,
at General Thomas suggestion, and that
Mr.. Stanberry, in the presence of the
President, advised immediate action to
take the question to the courts. Atevery
turn of the evidence the intent of the
President to bring the subject to judi
cial decision il made more and more ap-
parent. 1t is matter of congratulation
that, in the admission of this testimony,
the Senate evinccs disposition not to be
governed by the Old Bailey practice Of
Mr.. Butler.
