THE New York Herald says the
second Sunday of free rum in New
York was an active one in police
circles. A greater number Of arrests
were made between nightfall on Sat
urday and daylight on Sunday than
were ever before made for q period of
similar length. 1t seems the expert
ment of two Sabbaths of free rum
convinced even the new Democratic
Excise Commissioners that the abne-
CATION of the Sunday clause of the
liquor law would not do, and hence
they announce that henceforth that
clause must be faithfully and rigidly
observed" This conclusion on the
part of the new Commissioners is one
of the highest compliments to the
Republican Legislature which enact
ed the law, that could be given. Ii
is, also. direct reproof to the Dem.
ocratic demand for its abnegation in
this CITY.

One party has already started over

other Will soon follow, and third is
preparing to go to the same destina-

Is. reported at Superior river, which
will march directly Wert to the Red
river. The forces at Duluth are said
to be commanded By a distinguished
Confederate officer who fought Gen
eral Banks in the Louisiana cam
paign.
The men are nearly all ex-soldiers.
Many French Canadians accompany
them, and they have secured the SER

The Election Farrei

The result of the election yesterday
shows that over two. thirds of the
voters Of the city regarded it in the
same light that We did, viz: very
weak farce. Out Of about four thou
sand voters in the city. a few over a
thousand-or about one-fourth Of the
entire number-have voted in favor
of the Council contracting with the
Holly Water Works Company on the
basis of the report made by the
Water Works COMMITTED to the Coun-
Gil. which has already been pub
lished. The election may convey the
impression to persons in other locali-
ties that our people arc Indifferent
with reference to this important i'm
provement, but such is not the case.
All that the election really shows is,
that our people take but little stock
in electioneering kumbugs. of which
the one held yesterday was chief.

WASHINGTON dispatches of yester-
day indicate what We have long ex-
pelted: the abandonment Of the Tar
iff bill. The Senate thinks it has not
the time to properly consider it, aud
therefore Senators are urging the
House to drop it entirely and turn
their attention to other business.
When this shall occur, it may be an
interesting inquiry 20 ask who is re-
sponsible for this waste of public
time and money. It will not be diih-

This is nothing more than we have
been predicting ever since the present
Tariff Bill was introduced. We never
believed that the Tariff men had any
idea that it would pass the House.
Their only hope was in so occupying
the attention of the House as to de-
feat any attempt on the part of the
Revenue Reformers from interfering
with the Tariff now in operation. 1t
seems their tactics have been success.

THE Owensborc Monitor says pro-

several negro missionaries to peram-
bulate Kentucky from a very early
date until the election, to proselyte

the Monitor can only speak intelli-
