The outlook, says the New York
World is, then, far from being dis
couraging. On tho contrary, it is
positively encouraging and furnishes
good grounds to hope for success.
There is fair prospects of q national
triumph for our acknowledgements, les.
pitc all the boasts of tho Administra-
tion party. TO win it every Demo.
crat must come up nobly to the work.
The cause is worthy Of our best Of
forts. What is wanted now moro than
anything else is moro thorough or.
ganization. The time between this
an election day should be devoted to
that purpose, aud in making prepara.
sions to get every voter to the polls.
The laggards should be brought up.
Democrats, put your shoulders to the
wheel, push on the work, and on the
5th of November show the Admins
tration party that they can neithol
buy, bribe, nor bully free people.

NlcctingOf tho Forty Third Congress.

The forty.third C,ugrrss will not
meet until the first M"ndaS of De-.
ccmher, 1878, unless sooner Called
together in extraordinary session.
The impression prevails among many
persons that the Act Of January %,
1867, requiring new Congress to as
senblo on March 4, immediately on
the adjournment of its predecessors,
is still in force but this law was re.
pcaled by tho thirtieth section Of the
United States statute approved April
20, 1871, and to be found on page IL
Of the laws passed at tho first session
of the forty.second Congress-. The
repeating section is contained in q
deficiency appropriation Act, and the
entire statute is we'll worth examin,
ing, as a curious illustration of the
incongruous measures that are crowd Z,
ed into one bill during the expiring
hours of session Of Congress.

THE CITY HALL.

There is a serious objection to apprepria-
ten certificates, and the necessity of their
issue has never been rightly explained.
They are regarded, by the confession of the
Administrator of Public Accounts, as
merely temporary expedients, and their
payment is usually provided for within
sixty days. But the laborer, to whom they
are paid as an equivalent for his toll, is
unable to wait that length of time and, in
consequence, disposes of them to the broker
at what he can get A ring of brokers puts
the price down at seventy or eighty cents.
When two or three hundred thousand dol
lars OF these certificates are on the market.
the profits arising from the speculation
make very nice sum. 1t is no excuse for
their issue to allege that they are redeemed
within limited time. The sufferers are
poor men; and if redeemed within a week
after they are compelled to part with them,
the injury is done. Nor does it remove the
objection to take the certificates for taxes.
Those to whom they are paid pay little
taxes, and are unable to use them in that
way. The theory Of appropriation certif
Gates is wrong, and acts with serious injury
upon class who are lily able to bear the
burdens they impose.
Taking into consideration the recent and
prolonged rains, the streets were never in
better condition. The street department
has no control over the weather, nor can
the soil be kept dry and firm while con-
stantly flooded. with rain. The paved
streets are, however, in excellent condition,
and the department is making extraordi-
nary exertions to get the other streets in a
passable state.
The Administrator Of Assessments is busy
getting ready the new assessment list.
They will be sent out by the first of March
The preparations for Mardi Gras and the
reception of the grand Duke are still going
forward at the Hall, and will be complete

Almost Riot-New York CustOmhOuss
Investigations Testimony of Mer-
chants.
New YORK, February 9.-There was
almost riot in Fourteenth street this
afternoon. A party of plasterers demanded
of contractor named McGlensey that he
discharge some non-society men. lie re-
fused to comply, and was struck with an
iron bar, when he fired four shots from a
revolver at the party, who ran away, not
knowing if any of them was injured.
The congressional investigating commit
tee this morning heard two merchants
complaints of delays and other annOyances
at the Customhouse. Mr.. Whiteside, a mer-
chant, testified that his books, papers and
correspondence, even to that III his safe,
was roughly siezed by L. j. Kirk, by order
of Deputy Collector Clark, on an alleged
charge of fraud on the revenue through
charge of one Lewis Jones, q
customhouse detective. Kirk and Clark
were very insulting; also another custom
house officer named John kauski. He paid
the latter, at the suggestion OF brother
merchant, $500, but the papers; which were
seized last June, have not yet been re-
turned, although the suit against witness
had been discontinued. His business was
damaged $1,000 and alleged discrepancy
was only $274 in favor of the government.
The committee orders that all the papers
relating to this seizure be produced tomOr-
row.

This is said by the Natchitoches Times.

The unanimity with which the Legsla-
ture has sustained the vetoes of Governor
Warmoth during the present session is in
marked contrast with its action last year,
Wien every monopoly and scheming bill
was passed over his veto by an overwhelm
ing majority-the Carter men voting solidly
against his veto, the only exceptions being
about twO-thirds of the Democrats and q
few WarmOth men in the Senate. We are
glad to see these later reformers coming to
the rescue; but when the people applaud
the spirit of reform now manifesting itself
in the Republican party. they should go
back to the session Of 1871, and give credit
to whom credit is due.
