THE BROOKLYN ELECTION GouGEEs.-Two
Of the persons convicted in the election fraud
cases in Brooklyn were sentenced to ten days
in the county Jail; one was sentenced 10 thirty
days, and two others to three months each.
Now, between such penalties and acquittal
there is so little difference that the gougers
may be considered to have gained their cases
before the Judge though they lost them before
the iurics.

Tho Proposed British Expedition to tho
Rcd River.
On the authority OF the London Post we
have to believe that an expedition Is being got
up for. and that it will soon set out to, the Red
River territory. A cable despatch which we
publish this morning has II that the expedition
viii for some time be necessarily delayed. At
tho same time we learn that instructions have
been given by our own War Department to es-
tablsh military post at Pembina. If the Bri-
tish send the expedition to tho Red River and
back IL up with one or more stoel batteries---in
other words, if they 60 into this thing as
generally they 60 into military row, as they
went into that Of Abyssinia--and IL the United
States government make strong post at Penn
bina, the whole Red River district will be
claimed by civilization. All accounts agree in
calling 1t magnificent country. Protection
to life and property Is all that is required TO
make 1t an advanced but safe outpost OF oivili-
zation. Now that Riel has taken to shooting
citizens and playing the part OF tyrant it is
time that little wholesome law wore admin
istered In that region. On tho whole, there is
good cause for rejoicing in the fact that new
and valuable tract OF territory Is about to be
addad to the area of the civilized world.

No words can condemn too strongly the

shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh
Dor, " Thou shalt not 90 up and down as

sportive ones, yet they 90 down into the inner

There is, however, a somewhat milder form
of this evil, of which too many are more OF less
guilty. 1t appears in the use Of the insignlh-

say; the sentence being generally completed
with something damaging to the character OF
the person spoken Of Several friends meet at
an evening party, or in the street, when the
name OF some one not present Is mentioned,
and forthwith one of the company speaks qul-

ties beset the Chinese cmigrant, and almost
wholly prevent that great influx of ASiatc

and civilization, seems desirable. The Tartar

COOlle emigration from India to English colo
