LEGISLATION ON LIQUOR.

The late Legislature of Massachusetts, passed
an act whereby each city and township OF that
State is authorized to license the sale of Cider
and Beer, if majority of its legal voters
shall see fit. Under this act vote was taken
last Tuesday, and most of the cities decided
to license while majority of the townships
said No
We consider this legislation an experiment,
but we shall not condemn it untried. Its
central idea is identical with that of the act
passed last Winter by our Legislature, where
by the Supervisor and four Justices of each
township are constituted Board of Excise,
and empowered to license or not as they shall
Judge expedient. But this act constitutes the
Excise Board according to what the people
thought one to three years ago (when ma
iority of the Justices were chOsen) when they
may have seen new light since then. Our Re-
publican State Convention more wisely and
frankly
ReSored That soong the people of towns villages,
and Cities have the right by law TO license the sale OF in
tOxcang liquors in their several localities they also by
majority OF votes should have the right to prohibit
such sales.
This is that Wanted Fright of Local Self
&" Government which our Sham Democracy
profess so TO venerate. In essence the re-
solve is clearly right. Let those communities
which choose to license the Liquor Traffic do
so, and reap the consequences; let those which
prefer not to license enjoy that immunity from
drunken brawls and crowded pOOr-houses
which the absence of grOgshops secures. We
ask no more for Temperance than that the
People have full and fairsoppOrtunity to regu-
late the Liquor Traffic as to them shall
seem good Let the legal voters of each
City and Township be authorized to choose at
each municipal election three persons to con-
stitute a Board of Excise, and let this Board
have full authority to restrict or to suppress
tppling- houses and liquor-selling, and we ask
no more. If the Board is more stringent or
more " liberal" than public sentiment ap-
proves, its members will soon be replaced by
others, who will embody the public judgment.
The Liquor question will thus be taken ont
of politics. and License will be granted or
withheld as the majority-instructed by ex-
perience-shall from time to time decide.
And, when a majority, thus enlightened, has
expected to acquiesce.
We much prefer this to wholesale Prohibi-
ton with retail (or partiaD Enforcement. We
want the discussion of the rightfulness and
expediency of licensing the Liquor Traffic to
proceed from year to year, until the public
mind, thoroughly enlightened, shall have ar
rived at clear and definite conclusions. VIII

STRATEG Y-THE FIRST ERROR.

The initial blunder of the French strategy
in the present war-regarding the operations
from the defensive point of fyiew-wasin placing
the right wing of their army (AlacMahon) in
position where it could be cut off from the
center and left This detached right wing
actually though not militarily detached,-was
defeated by the first blow at Worth, and all
the subsequent movements of MacMahOn have
been in the nature of attempts to retrieve the
error 10y which he was cut off, and to rejoin
the center and left (Bazaine), constituting the
main body. 1t was for this that MacMahon
pushed his way to Nancy on the Moselle, inn
agining that he could from there form juno
ton with Bazalne at Metz. When he found
that this was impossible, owing to the rapid
march OF the German right upon the Moselle,
he pushed onward to Chalons, where he OBJ
taned large reenforcements, intending to make
another attempt to join Bazaine at Metz by
way of st. MenGhould and Verdun. When he
found that the rapid advance of the German
left Grown Prince) in the direction of Chalons
made this impossible, he destroyed his camp
at Chal0ns and struck nOrthwardly toward
Mezlers, with the idea of making still another
great attempt to join Bazaine at Metz, by way
OF Sedan and Montmedy. Near Sedan he was
attacked by the Crown Prince, whose forces
had set out in pursuit of him by different
routes; and MacMahon, finding he was thus
prevented from reaching Metz, attempted to
retrace his steps; but he Immediately found
himself surrounded by German armies, which
punished his force so fearfully that he was
compelled to surrender
1t Is thus seen that all the movements of

OUR TICKET.

The Republican State Convention concluded
its labors at noon yesterday, having noml-
mated the following State ticket:
For Gorernor-Gen. STEWART L. wooDFORD, Kings.
For Lieut. -Gor-sIGIsMUND KAUFMAN, do.
For ComptroHer-ABIAH W. PALMER, Dutchess.
For Canal Com'r.-ABSALOMN NELSON. Erie.
DO Ito lll vacancv)-AIEX. BARKLEY Washington.
For Prison Inspector-JOHN PARKHURsT, Clinton.
This is an excellent and popular ticket. We
like it especially because the shrieks of
locality have been defed in taking the two
leading candidates from the same County
Kings. We do not object to those shneks,
when they do not serve to drown such considera-
tions of fitness merit, and expediency, as die
tated the selection of SIGISMUND KAUFMAN
for Lieutenant Governor. Mr.. X. works in
this City, but sleeps in Brooklyn, and is widely
known and beloved in both. When nomi.
mated for Senator last Fall, he had just
returned from prOtracted visit to his native
Germany, and found his long postponed duties
to his clients pressing him for instant atten-
ton; so he hated to stand; yet he did let his
name remain in nomination, and was fairly
elected, though counted out by the Brooklyn
Ring, whose tools reported the result as fol-
lows: Pierce II ,S21; Kaufman 1910; major
ity for Pierce, 1851. To produce this
result, Ward III. was reported-Pierce LII;
Kaufman 233; and Ward V. Pierce 2,113; (;
Kaufman 564 He will carry that district now
in spite of all the frauds that the Ring dare
incite, even with corrupt Judiciary to shield
its instruments from the terrors of the law. We
shall be sorely disappointed if Mr.. Kaufman
does not gain Fifty Thousand on the vote of
1868 in the three Counties of Kings, Westches-
ter and New York.
ABIAH w. PALMER has served the State
with such eminent ability and purity in the
Senate and Assembly that we do not think
man can be found to beat him. He has been
often candidate in close districts, and never
yet beaten, because the people who know him
confide in him. In '67, his District Outchess
and Coiumbia) went against us on Secretary
of State, yet he was chosen Senator there
from by 6S6 majority He is more widely
known now, and will run ahead over a much
wider territory.
ABsALoM NELSON is new TO public life, but
our Buffalo friends assure us that he is the
| right man for Canal Commissioner. We be-
| lieve them.
ALEXANDER BARKLEY has done good work
/ on the Canals as Superintendent and as Com
missioner. He is thoroughly capable and trust
worthy, and strengthens the ticket on the line
of the Northern Canal.
JOHN PARKHURsT of Clinton is a new man,
of whom we shall speak more fully when we
learn more about him.
On the whole, the ticket is a good one, the
| platform is sound, and we are bound to win
this time. We have always had voters
enough, and as to cheating us out of our ma
jority by repeating and miscOunting, it cannot
be done this year. All together, then, for an
| old-fashioned Republican triumph

TIE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

Minister Washburne has notified to NJ. Jules
Favre the formal recognition of the French
Republic by the Government of the United
States and has performed this duty, as it
would appear, in terms of exceptional cordial
ity. We are rejOiced that America has been
so prompt and so hearty in extending the
hand of fellowship to the new Republic. There
is no power from which liberty and popular
government have received more practical en-
cOuragement and have right to expect more
vigorous moral support than from the United
States, and there is no people in whose well
fare we take a warmer interest than the
people of , France, who stood our
friends in the dark hours of our own
revolutionary struggle. In the war now vir-
tually ended our sympathies have been en-
listed rather for the German than the French
cause, but we have been careful to distinguish
between the French people, whom we have
always admired, and the despotic system of
Imperialism which has been the foe not less of
France than of the whole of Europe. Out of
the humiliation of a military defeat France
has now wrought a great political victory, and
we congratulate her with all our hearts upon
the prospect of happiness and glory which
opens before her.
Mr.. Washburne was very properly in
structed to defer official recognition until the
new Government was apparently well estab-
lished throughout the country. The fact that
he has acted so quickly confirms, therefore.
the impression conveyed by all the press dis
patches, that the revolution has. everywhere
been accepted either with satisfaction or posi-
tive enthusiasm. There has been no opposition
and no disorder; Paris and other large cities
are Enthusiastically glad to get rid of the En-
peror, and not Bonapartist is now to be
found-except at Hastings and Wihelmshoe
The new Government at the present moment
is probably as well established as the Empire
ever was and the spirit in which it now ap-
proaches its labor gives us much reason for
confidence in its permanence. We trust it
VIII show the world an example of mOdera-
ton, prudence, and wise patriotism and with
hopes that it will do much for France and for
civilization, we say, God save the French
Republic!

EUGENE.

The truth must be told we do not relish that
picture of Eugene on the back-stairs. We
are ready to cry La d6ch6dnce! with the loud
est Republican who yelled ViUe rEmperem
yesterday so long as it includes only the
Emperor; we can hear of "the cOnvulsve
"quivering of his waxed mustache," or see
him "wipe away the tears with his glove,n
and smile with stern composure. It is the
progress of free ideas, we say, that has over
thrown this Dagon of tyranny. But-let us be
honest-when free ideas drove the Empress in
shabby cloak into a hackney coach across
the quai they nauseated u.s. She is no Dagon.
We remember at once that we are
men, and she is woman More than
that--a wOmanish woman. In these days when
our wives and daughters have in turn each
been ga Spirit yet a Woman tOO" and Broker
and PromulgatOr of Infinite Truth into the bar
gain, what a relief our souls have received
afar off in the wife whom Napoleon had hap
PLY found, with her wonderful beauty and
small cunning, her extravaganza and fascina-
ton, her bigoted devotion to her church, and
her large, cear-eyed devotion to her husband
and her child. The old-fashiOned types of
woman have matched each other on the three
duJOinluB isdDtild,
the dull, domestic British matron, and this
rare plebeian Spanish girl, who bore the crown
of Cbarlemagne with royal grace such as no
Bourbon ever lent toit. Let her have credit for
so much. Let us comfort our Republican souls
as we will with the truth which this great
drama over in Europe teaches that monarchy
is crumbling sham, and Kings are but pup
pets, whose strings work more awry with
every year. This puppet, at least, while her
partner could be seen of all men to be but
decayed wood wore the golden rigol with
queeDly spirit, impregnated her royalty with
her own life and beauty and grace. We re-
member, long ago, to have seen photograph
of young girl, half Irish by blood, just past
childhood, in a simple dress, handkerchief
closely knotted about the throat. The pOr
trait was shown to us because of the wonderful
beauty of the face and the singular forebOding
of the eyes, prophetic of ill fortune. 1t was
Mile. de Montijo, unknown to fame or the
world. We should be glad if the eyes could
plead for the woman with the world as they
do with us. Our judgment, of course, ap-

1t would be singular if in some part of Italy
the Republic was not proclaimed at this time
of political excitement consequent on the
revolution in France. But we imagine that
the rumOr which comes from Marseilles of the
revolution in Florence is not worthy of credit.
For the present the unifcatiOn of Italy-nOw
apparently secured-will satisfy the Italians,
and they are not likely to Overturn the Gov
ernment which has secured this end in the

We invite attention to the letter of Mr..
Charles Bowles on the Finances and Financial
position of our country involving the ability
Of our Government to fund the bulk of its
Debt at lower interest than it is now paying.
While we agree with most of Mr. BOwless
suggestions, it seems to us that a more posi-
tive and vigorous policy on the part of our
Treasury is essential to any decided success
in funding. With One Hundred Millions lying
dead in the Treasury for year'and the Gov
ernment banking for the gOld-gamblers by
boarding their gold and supplying them with
gambling-checks in the shape of Gold Certif-
Gates. we shall not reduce the bulk of our in
terest to II per cent. very soon.
