cPJuE AND THE LAWS.

Two cioantic yiccs--lntemperance and Gam
h1;rc--ore daily sending scores of fresh victims
down the road to ruin. intemperance seems
the moro prevalent because the less secret.
ThisJwe apprehend is the States doing. She
licenses Tipping; she forbids Gambling.
Hence, the stranger in our streets is from every
side confronted by public grog-shOps, while
the adjacent farO-banks and r0ulette-tables
are thiniy screened from the general gaze.
No one who seeks can fail of finding them but
they never thrust themselves upon his attention
as he heedlesSly saunters along Broadway. If
he enters one, he must have sought it out and
there is strong presumption that he entered
to play.
The law of our State says, "Thou shalt not
"game!" it does not say "Thou shalt neither
"sell, buy nor imbibc, Intoxicating Liquorsw
1t clearly indicates that yOu may, under GER
tain prescribed conditions.
Yet, when Gambling is exposed and assailed,
certain organs of Sham Democracy demur
that the repression Of mere Vice (Which this
is assumed to be) is not among the legitimate
functions of government. That plea may or
may not be valid in debating society or coterie
of speculative philosophers; it has no peril
ncnce elsewhere. The law which we had no
voice in making-which was not made by
" fanatics" nor by isionaries'-which is not
of to-day, but was the law before any of us
were born-forbids Gambling, and charges our
Police and Judiciary with the duty of sup
pressing and furnishing it-a duty which they
habitually and Systematically fail to discharge.
Why are these criminals thus screened from
punishment
Because they are rich, and capable, and for
milable, and efficient They poll strong
vote-solidly DcmOcratic-they are skillful,
efficient repcaters-and they contribute large
sums to the Democratic treasury. In every
! important election, they are heavily assessed
/ TO fill that treasury; and the consideration Is
| impuniiy in their career OF profitable crime.
This condition may not always be expressly
| stipulated but it is always understood.
! Our legal machinery for the repression of
| crime IS formidable expensive, and ought to
be efficient. Recent occurrences prove that
only fidelity is required to render it thoroughly
so.
We decline, therefore to chop logic with
those who plead the unftnes5 or inapdtude of
the State to deal with what they term "sin."
That is wholly irrelevant. The Police and
the Magistracy can suppress Gambling If they
will the law requires them to do it; they are
well paid for undertaking to do it; and recent
occurrences have shOwn that they easily may
do it if they have tho will. Gentlemen, we
urge, either earn your several cOmPensations
or resign your placc3l You have no moral
right to receive the pay yet shirl the duties.
Either obey and enforce the laws or resign
your Offices. If enforcing the laws would
impel a reaction, that is no affair of yours.
Your path is plain its requirements are I'M
perative. Either obey or resign!

The Chicago Tribune has constantly assumed
that the consumers of Salt in this country are
paying enormous prices therefor because of
our high duty on imported Salt Of" writes
them that Salt has sold lOwer in Chicago in
1870 than it did under q low duty in 1860
The Tribune responds as follows:
The fact that Salt sold lower in Chicago in 1870 than
it did in 1860 has bearing the question long the
fact remains that so per cent Of the price OF Salt in
Chicago in 1870 either the duty imposed by law
the bounty given to protect else"
Now the question" precisely is-Does the
high duty on Salt enhance the cost of that
article to consumersf If so, to whdt consum-
ersf and to what extent F. cites the fact
that Salt has become cheaper in Chicago under
Protection than it was under comparative Free
Trade to prove that Protection has not en-
HANGED the cost of Salt at Chicago. Is not
that in point Yet The Chicago Tribune says
it has no bearing on the question: so long
as a fact that isn't fact remains Is that
response impeled by insanity or dishonesty

Mr.. Secretary Robson went Olt OF his way,
in an Official document, to impugn the authen-
ticty of n damaging letter, previously ac-
copied by the whole country on the faith of
its publication in the special SantO Do
mngo correspondence Of TIE TRIBUNE.
We responded that we had every
reason to regard it as authentic,
and that we published it in that full belief;
but that we should take instant measures TO
settle the matter; should promptly correct our
error if we had made one, and should expect
the Secretary, if he had made one, to do the
same.
We invite the Secretary's attention to the
full and conclusive statement from our CORE
spondent, printed elsewhere this morning.
Mr.. Robson has been indiscreet, but we
do not believe he meant to be untrue;
and in that conviction we call on him
for a distinct and prompt retraction. He can
not thus relieve himself from the public judg
ment on the IecklessnesS that could, whether in
supposed aid of the Administration or for any
reason whatsoever, make such sur without
warrant; but he can save his reputation as
man of candor.

The display of wrigglmg in Judge Cardozo'S
Court, yesterday, by the municipal eoE who
were caught il the Broadway Widening trap
was amusing as well as amazing to behold.
The exposure of that contemplated fraud has
compelled those who were most active ard
secret in perfectng the scheme which would
have robbed certain prOpcrty-OwneTs and
city taxpayers generally for the benefit of the
Ring" to appear in public as most eager
to confound the sharp practice of their agents.
This show of virtue will do them 10 credit.
The only wonder is that they should have
thought it worth while to attempt to conceal
tricks to which it is well known they are
given. Some respectable names appear in
conjunction with those of the members of the
"Ring,n but no one will have any hesitation
in separating the honest appellants from those
who make virtue Of their necessities. The
motion yesterday made by the Corporation
Counsel was to repeal the confirmation of the
Assessment report which the same Counsel
moved and urged a few months ago, before
the iniquity was exposed. OF course the mo-
tion Will be granted, for it is clearly apparent
that the "Ring" has made mistake, aud this
is the most natural way with them to re-

Mr. John Neal of Portland must, by this time, be
nearly or quite an octOgenarian but his ability al
ways large OF keeping himself in hot water does not
appear to have been III the least diminished by in
creasing years. His latest quarrel is with certain
persons with whom lie does not agree in respect of
the affairs of the Maine Central and Portland and
Kennebec Railroad OF course, not agreeing with
these persons, Mr.. Neal has written and has printed
his mind after his usual muscular fashion and they
have naturally brought an action against him for

nothing. But right OF wrong, Mr. John Neal is

The Amherst Alumni in Boston, at their recent
dinner, made themselves merry without the aid of
wine and, until the very end Of the feast, without
cigars Two wne-glasses were placed at each Of the
one hundred and eight OF ten plates but not one Of
them was used. One alumnus said to another "
should like glass of wine but it would not be in
good taste here" This admirable example is worthy
of imitation not only at Alumni dinners but other
festive gatherings The careful avoidance of all in
centives to parake of intoxicating drinks these
occasions will greatly help to promote general
sObriety.

Mr. George Jones, the Publisher and 1--WE believel
principal proprietor of The " Y. Times, publishes
card denying the story that he proposed to sell his
interest in that journal to the Tammany Ring. He
says:
I am aware that Mr. Nathaniel Sands Secretary Of the
Citizens Association has been for some time actively en-
gagged in the effort to purchase, or otherwise
silence this journal, In the interest OF his Tam
many employers. But believing that the course

Editorally The Times casts further light on the
matter, and explains Mr. Jones'5 declaration that If
it could be senced, by abuse judicial authority
he and his associates would at once start another
journal, by saying:
"An application is to be made 70 ono or other OF the
Judges for process which IS designed to render the
Ring masters OF this journal. After what was done
