handsome for the privilege. We do

very respectable white men went
to considerable expense In the en-

venture the assertion, however, tn at

THE SUNDAY LAW CAsE.-After
considerable maueuvering and not a
little wild talking among those who
are anxious that business be carried
on Sunday just as any other day. of
the week, it has been concluded that
the Sunday law will stick" and that
its no use to fight it in tho courts.
Charley Kreamer kept his establish
ment open Sunday to make a test
case" Complaint was made against
him yesterday before the Mayor, and
Charley concluded that to fight it In
the courts would be in vain, and so
he abandoned the idea, plead guilty,
and his fine and costs we're fixed at
So so, which he paid. And thus ends
the promised eontest.-Neto Albany
Ledger.
The Democracy of New Albany,
who have had control of the admins
tration of that city from time i'm
memorial, do not interpret that plank
of the Democratic Platform which
declares-"That any attempt to regu-
late the moral ideas, appetites, or in
nocent amusements of the people by
legislation, is unwise and despotic =
as the editor and proprietors of the
Courier. The way the Democratic
Mayor of New Albany regulates the
"moral ideas Of the saloon keepers
in that city is calculated to arouse
the envy Of our Criminal Court. In
short, the saloon-keepers of New AL
bany, where the Democracy have un-
limited sway, have concluded-ac-
cording to the organ of that party
THAT it's no use to fight the Sunday
Law in the Courts" which in that
section Of the State are all presided
over by Democratic Judges.

Friend Slater, a new Court House
is q question that don't agitate our
citizens to any great extent. The
taxes Of the people are already high
and burdensome, and it would be
folly to talk Of increasing them. Per-
haps, in the course of a few years,
when taxes become lighter, and the
people more able to bear the burden,
we'll spring the question " of a new
Court House. That's our position,

somoW Why, we were under she i'm

matter-so very light as almost to be
imperceptible. Believing so, we have
been looking forward with pleased an
ticipation to the action OF the recently
elected Democratic Council of this
city, who, we have been given to un-
derstand, will wonderfully reduce tax,
alton, and at the same time add largely
to our public Improvements. The
Mt. Vernon Democrat, with its UMPIRE
