II is nroner that | should inform you that
there seems TO be a general falling off in re-
snect for our liquor laws. The enforcement
ot these laws comes in no manner within the
power of the Executive. 1t very properly de-

an unreasonable theory that the State should
socnre the even and impartial execution of

The erection OF special police for the pur-
pose mainly of enforcing the liquor law be-
yond, certainly, il not against the wishes of
the municipalities, has been urged by some as

test of allegiance to the cause OF Temper.

the most delicate things which State could
be called upon to do is to invade the ancient
rights and dignites of towns, which, as the
historian and statesman know, are at tne

ed by evils which are disastrous in the ex-
treme, and l would respectfully renew my
recommendation that you provide some meth
cd to reach this matter.
The Executive Council have given particu-
lar attention to the condition of the deaf,
dumb and blind, who are now sent to institu-
tonS out OF the State. Some matters of de-
tail have been corrected and improved, but
upon the whole the present mode of caring
tor those untortunates is approved as the best
provision we could make.
The Hospital for the Insane is still crowded
with inmates. Applicants are awaiting the
completion of the new wing. This it will be
necessary to provide for. The building will
then be architecturally complete, and the
institution as large as can be advantage
ously managed. The adjacent lands on the
south have been purchased, and the grounds
| are now convenient and symmetrical. Cor

brief treatment of a sane man in these

pect that those who are especially charged
with this responsibility, instead of troublin:
themselves too much to defend what they do
should set themselves to search out and cor

such institutions and think it no confession
of fault if they strive to improve in every
possible way their methods, instrumentalitIes
and even their system.

night. The people were out in hun

NEW YORK ITEMS.

New YORK, April 2l.-Much argu-
ment arose this morning from the fact
of the illness of Recorder Hackett, and
many were the surmises as to whether
the Court would proceed with the Nc
Farland trial or not When, however,
the jury had arrived, and after them
the counsel, with the exception of Mr..
Graham, had made their appearance,
the general opinion was that the case
would be proceeded with.
One of little Percy Mcfarland s
friends told him there would be no
Court at which the little fellow was
veav much disappointed. ,
Atl o'clock Judge Bedford arrived
and verv soon after Mr.. Graham, where
upon a consultation was had between
the counsel and it was concluded to
adjourn until Monday morning In con-
sequence of the illness Of the Recorder.
The Judge then ordered Captain Nc

trifling in contrast with the total balance
which he will still have on hand, the
report is probably set afloat for specn'

Radical Corruption.
From the Pittsburgh Post. !


The Democratic press may, in truth,
allege that the most interesting living
issue of the present day is Radical cor
ruption, which reigns supreme from the
very highest to the very lowest Radical
officer now in power in the United
States Before this living issue all
others pale their ineffeceual fires. Out
of this springs much of the evil which
has spread desolation and misery over
thousands of households all over the
land. Corruption has spread till it en-
velOpes in its venomous folds the
President, the Cabinet, the Army,
Congress, and every Radical State Leg
islature, and down through all the ram
ifications of Radical appointments to
the very lowest dregs detailed to do the
dirtest work of an INSCRIPTIONS party.
In using this term we are justified, be-
cause the acts of the leaders are those
which become the acts Of the party; at
the same time, we would not be under
stood az charging that all of the rank
and file, so to say, who range under the
Radical banner are corrupt II does
not follow 10y any means The corrupt
Of all parties run to men who have po-
litical power. Corrupt leadership in
anv party will find no lack OF corrupt
followers; but the only way that the
honest masses can ever learn the truth
respecting their corrupt leaders is
through the criticisms of the opposition.
II is so all over the world wherever par
ties exist.

DANIEL WEBSTER was something of a
prophet. He had political wisdom if
not inspiration. In speech at Wash
ington, in 1850, he said If the infer
nal fanatics and abolitionists ever get
the power in their hands, they will over
ride the Constitution, set the Supreme
Court at defiance, change and make
laws to suit themselves, lay violent
hands on those who differ from them in
their opinions, or dare question their
infallibility, and finally bankrupt the
country, and deluge it with blood. We
would like to know what particular
item in this list of prophecies has not
come to pass. Webster only missed it
