day and Sunday, and, to say to the German that
md is flooding the community With crimes, is
just as absurd and unjust as it would be to say
to the American that lis use OF tea and coffee
is deleterious to the public morals, and must,
therefore, bo stopped.
The enforcement Of the law in such G manner
as to stop the German from drinking beer is not
only foolish IS invading his personal rights, and
as contributing nothing to bring about the de-
sired reform, but it is foolish, also, because it
threatens the public with new dangers and Sc
rious disturbances Of the peace. It will tend to
provoke riots, and perhaps bloodshed. It will
crowd our streets On Sundays with professions,
music, and banners, and noisy demonstrations.
II beer, when paid for, makes disturbance, as
some Of the advocates Of this movement imag-
inc, what will it cause when it is distributed
freely in the streets? Apart from these con-
siderations, is it wise to deliberately array the
German population against the American on r.
forcement OF an obsolete law, in q manner so
pelpably unwise and improbable? There are
laws of the State Of Illinois prohibiting the TAX
ing Of interest beyond 10 per cent, betting on
elections, cursing and swearing. selling playing
cards. owning billiard tables, and the treating Of
electors, none Of which are enforced by the
Mayor or police Of the city. Tho same discre-
ton which allows these laws to remain upon the
books as dead letters can certainly md should
be used in regard to the manner Of
enforcing the Sunday law. a wise discrimina-
ton will lead to fortunate Tesults G. foolish and
bigoted application to unfortunate results and
eventual failure, which will leave the public
| WORSE or than it waB originally. These are
| views which ne have expressed frequently in
years past, and We see no reason to change them

capital out of public turmoil and civil strifa.
At the same time, We have word Of caution to
the Germans. In their championship of thei1
rights, the duties Of the good and law~abidins
citizen should not be overlooked. What
ever they may do, whatever protest
| they may make against tho invasion
of their rights, let it be mac1
within tie boundaries of Law and order. Taej

following the advice Of hot~hoaded demagoguo
and trampling upon all laws to secure thca
rights in this one respect.

DAT H1RBJL OLE GREELEY. !"
I From the Cairo Bulletin. |

1t least one-half of the negroes of
Cuiro believe that. up 10 the outbreak
of the rebellion. Horace Greeley
bought and sold negroes. He was
n very hard man on his negroes, >
they saw. and used to keel haul a
hundred Of them as a matter of Sun
dav evening amusement"
\ very knowing darkpv. who lives
in the upper part Of the township,
saws that when Greeley was in the
rebel army he cut his negro waiting
man into fourteen distinct pieces
because the poor negro being worn
out and sleepy, went to bed before
blaching the old mans boots and
brushing his black "bombazine' p
overcoat.
Another darkev declares that when
he worked on Massa Greelev's Ala
bams plantation, the old man gave
up his entire time TO dissipation and
was the terror Of the whole neigh
borhood. 1t was a very common
thing for him to shoot tin cnps Off
the heads of his field hands, and
s.how many niggers that old sarpint
killed there isn't any telling of"
Such stories as these, and even
worse ones. are current among the
negroes; and the political mentors
of the ignorant negroes, instead of
dissipating the foolish stories multi
ply and eXagGerate them.
Political warfare of that kind Isl
simply disgraceful.

The NEW YORK LADIES AT A
BATH.

On one Thursday, the ladies were
present in greater numbers than on
any previous occasion: among them
the princess Elitha. who, accom-
panied bv male friend-a promi-
nent Fifteenth Ward politician
created considerable of futter by
her eccentric actions. Her friend
remained outSide until she had fin
ished her bath. and they both
sauntered leisurely away. In con-
versation with an officer she avowed
her intention to publish book, and
give her prosecutors fits" One day.
lille the women were bathing at the
foot of Fifth street. a horrible veil
was raised in the bath. The matron
rushed in and found IA person with a
masculine cast of countenance in the
grasp of some eight or ten nymphs,
who were sousing her under the
water at an alarming rate, and at
every dip they screamed out: 'Well
give it to vOu. Won internal scamp

dirty carcass among us unprotected
