SAIL BoATs UPsET.-The Delaware yesterday
with its rough waters and white-capped waves
did not present very favorable field for the
little yachts which each Sunday sail upon its
waters. Rather a heavy blow was experienced,
and only the larger craft dared to venture out
In three or four cases. however, the little boats
made the attempt with double-reefed sails, but
this precaution did not help them, as they were
quickly overturned. No lives were lost, as the
parties who make venture of this kind are
generally equal and prepared for such contin-
gencies.

The Board Of Public Works of this District
have en- aged in one work which entities them
TO the concentration of all good citizens-tbat
is, the erection of additional gas lamps In various
rortiors OF the city hitherto unlighted, and we
trust the good wOrk will be resumed as soon As
the weather will permit. Gas light is economi-
cal as police measure. There Is nothing like
At to secure the safety of life and property.
Robbers, incendiaries, and murderers dread the
light, and as a rule their evil work is generally
done in the darkest portions of our cities. Let
the work OF illumination 60 on, until there Is
not an avenue, s,reet, public square, place
lane, court, or alley in the two cities and all the
suburbs lett unlighted

A Brooklynite, who probably knows how it is

OF preventing frauds in voting, which is thus
deseTited:-A book OF printed forms is pro-

COUPON eorrespondingly numbered is attached,

TO be presented when he casts his vote. The

The press of Virginia is almost unanimous in
condemnation Of the recent action of the house
of delegates in passing resolution to arrest the
funding OF the debt of the state, thus causing
the state bonds to decline from &c to 50. The
opinion of the attorney general of the common
wealth that there is no authority to pay the jan
uaIy interest on the public debt without spe
cial act Of appropriation, and the action of the
senate yesterday in passing the house bill by a
voteo q to IL, will, it is thought, cause a fur
ther decline in value of the securities of the
state. 1t is said by the Richmond papers that
there is enough money in the treasury to pay the
interest, and the legislature is called upon to de-
wise means at once to remedy the evil already
done, as the people do not desire reputation or
even the semblsnce of il.
