The Game Law.

The new law for the protection of game in
the State of New York has just been passed
in the Assembly. There are several clauses
which have been so changed as to produce
much dissatisfaction among sportsmen. The
most prominent of these is the insertion of the
provision forbidding quail shooting on Long
Island for two years by all persons who have
not contributed towards restocking that To-
cality. This ridiculous enactment gives q
monopoly of the quail shooting on the island
to few men who happen to have imported
quail from the South or West, although per-
haps not more than single pair. II creates
an invidious and unjust distinction between
wealthy sportsmen who have the means for
such enterprises and the poor men who trust
mainly TO their guns for their living. More
over, quail are never 30 much reduced by
shooting as by severe weather, and IL our
representatives Of legislative wisdom at
Albany would only pass an act pro-
hbiting heavy SHOWS and intense cold,
and could enforce their enactment, they
would be doing wiser thing. Such clause
is thoroughly unsportsmanlikc, and ia resisted
as strongly by those who would be benefited by
IL as by those who would not. The South
side Club has imported hundreds of quail,
but the members are unanimous against such a
prohibition. Our legislators had better follow
the advice of the committees sent TO them by
our various clubs than cndeavor to evolve
such legislation out of their inner conscious
ness. Sporting is an art of which men like
Recorder Hackett, Of the Southside Club,
and Charles E. Whitehead and Robert d.
Roosevelt, of the New York Sportsmens Club,
are experts, and In relation to which the
advice Of these gentlemen should be conclu-

II the statement of Mrs. Twitchell and the

be branded forever If innocent In the opinion

take any good place-colector of port.
All the collectorships were full Well, he
would like to be doorkccper. General
Jackson was very sorry, bnt all the door,

whose young ambition is finally cooled with
the old clothes and cold victuals of an

A JEALOUS YANKEE.-A Connecticut editor
has become envious of the inventor of an
Improvement on some of his patent crochets,
and discourses as follows AFTER all, how
very human this weakness of small jealousy
is! Almost everybody has 1t, more or less
That g what allied Cain; it disturbed Jacob !;
put Joseph into pit; harried the patriarchs
and kept letting down the prophets; it crops
out frequently in politics, more often, perhaps,
in the army infects the festive fire company
disturbs the rural militia; creeps occasionally
into the pulpit, and always blossoms in the
choir" Our contemporary should beware Of
jealousy. 1t was by that SIM more than by
ambition, angels fell. He may, however, get
over the difficulty by showing that there are
no fallen angels in Connecticut.

Tho Spanish nission-A Nomination Not FL
to He Made.

UAlS9lOu-A
to he Made.
Sanford Is not the man for Spain-not the
man to represent the government Of the United
States at any place where other qualities are
scandalmonger and a toady-especially not the
man to- represent US at the capital of a country
now in grand and critical phase of national
existence. Sanford has been twenty years
diplomat in the service of this country Here
certainly ought to be diplomatic experience
better use than to teach the gentleman how to
keep himself in favor with those who are
potent in appointments. 1t is not an expert
ence by which the government can profit in any
good sense. No doubt it is admirable that
Senators, or even that the State Department,
should be kept an fait in the run of European
tattle.; that these worthless should have detailed
infinitely all that is piquant and pithy in the
high life of the capitals and as all this
dribbles into Brussels, why, if Senators and
others must have it, let them keep Mr.. Sand
ford at Brussels. Let him not have the chance
to belittle us anywhere else. Above all, let
him not 60 to Madrid, which has suddenly be-
come place of first rate importance and
requires q man equal to any emergency in
force of character, boldness, knowledge and
sagacity With Cuba in the balance we cannot
afford to send to the Spanish capital drivei
ling tattler who, in twenty years of diplomatic
life, has never been publicly mentioned for
anything but visit to Garibaldi.
From the concurrence of all the Washing
ton dispatches on the point we had supposed
it was understood everywhere that General
Sickles was to go to Spain; and we believe
the universal opinion was that he was exactly
the man for the place. We have no doubt
that our despatch of yesterday stated the truth
in saying that General Grant had promised
this appointment and General Slckles signifed
his satisfaction with It; and this being true
Grant should never have been either bullied or
wheedled into nominating Sanford. To thrust
aside gallant soldier and an able and earnest
political supporter is bad enough but to thrust
him aside for the preferment Of a man like
Sanford is peculiarly unhandsome act. We
sincerely trust that the nomination as made
may fail Of confirmation in the Senate. If it
be the diplomatic slate of the State Depart
ment that Sandfords place at Brussels is
wanted for some one else, and that he must
be pushed to Madrid merely to keep him in
Europe as reporter Of gossip, and if Grant
assents to such pitiful arrangements, we hope
the Senate will exhibit another temper. We
want man of first rate qualities in Spain,
and we trust that the Senate will resolutely
require such; and we fancy that Grant may
very likely be grateful for Senatorial opposi-
ton that will prove the solution of his en-
barrassments with Sandford's friends in the
State Department Or elsewhesse.

Judge Bowling, Bergh and the Horpcs.
We have no doubt that Judge Bowling is
learned in the law, but we respectfully submit
that he Is not learned in all the law. He
especially is not learned in the law of this city;
and, as this is the place where he sits to admin
lister justice, this is reproach to him. In
ruling Mr.. Bergh out of court the other day
on horse case his Honor said
''Nor is there any law or Corpora
ton ordinance prescribing what is to
be deemed load" His Honor had
better read the Corporation ordinances. He will
find in them the exact specification of the
charges that may be made by carmen for
certain weights, and other interesting facts Of
that nature. Bergh was right in this Roose-
welt street case, and the decision against him
was not based on law or justice, but on small
jokes. His Honor very stupidity asked if the
man could prevent its being low tide. Not
at all; but, as he drives for sugar house ON
the other side and uses the ferry constantly,
he knows when the tide will be low, and
should not be permitted to carry at those times
such load as may be carried at Others

EXTRAORDINARY PIsToL Practice. In
Chicago, December 9th, Captain John Ira
Wis gave another exhibition of pistol shooting
at his gallery. in which he exceled any of
his previous astonishing performances in this
city, by series of hazardous. feats requiring
the most consummate skill on his part, and
extraordinary daring on that of the gentleman
who assisted in them Mr. John Rover, of
Texas, held a cap on his head, and Travis
fired pistol bullet through it from the dis
tance of twelve PAGES. The feat was repeated
twice, the ball going each time within an
inch of the Uranium of the venturesome hold
er. The same gentleman also held between
his fingers small lemon, and afterwards
business card about an inch and half
square, aud through each Captain Travis put
bullet, at the same distance, with one of
the regular gallery pistols. Few people
would care to run such risks as Mr..
Rover did, and fewer still could successfully
initiate Captain Travis wonderful skill.
