The opinion OF Attorney General Williams,
which we publish to-day, to the effect that the
Vhginius at the time Of her capture had forfeited
the right to carry the United States Il az, can
not be a surprise to any one, as the character of
the vessel and the nature of her enterprise were
Freely talked Of, even among those who most
wished fer the success OF the cause in which she
was engaged. 1t merely needed the evidence
which Is referred to by the Attorney General to
confirm the popular impression, as to the points
touched upon. This opinion will relieve the
Spaniards from their dissgreeabIe compact to
salute our flag, but law is law, and we must
cen content ourselves with what we have a
legal right to demand. But it is some satisfsc-
ton to know that whether the virgiuius had the
right to carry the Tag or not, Spain had no
right to cap ure her on the high seas lying oar
national colors.

Have police officers the right to invade pri-
vate premises to make arrests without q war
rant" is question judicially answered in the
Affirmative in Baltimore recently. About the
ith Of July last policeman arrested boy while
firing crackers in the yard attached to his pa
rents residence. The officer himself was ar
rested and fined one cent by justice of the
peace on the ground that he had exceeded his
duty. From this decision the police took an ap-
peal, ard recently Judge Brown reversed the
Judgment Of the magistrate and held that when
police ofhcer saw a violation of law he had a
right to enter private premises and make an
arrest without waiting for a warrant.

The experiment of lighting the street lamps
on X street with electricity Is to be tried. Very
likely it will prove a success so far as the light
ing Is concerned. but 1t would seem to be very
undesirable to dfsfgure the fine vista of X
street. or any other street of its character, with
long lines Of the unsightly poles upon which the
wires are strung to send the electricity to the
lamps IL Is bad enough to have the appearance
OF 20 many OF our streets ruined by the clumsy
telegraph poles, but for the present this seems
to be necessary evil. There is no necessity
for lighting the street lamps by electricity,
though it may be a convenience. There should
be Law requiring telegraph wires and all wires
of the Kind to be insulated and carried under
ground.

The Postmaster General on Saturday heard
the state nIents OF the agents of several steam
ship lines competing for the privilege of carry
ing the United States mails to Europe. Accord
ing to report of the conference the Postm aster
General said he proposed giving the country
the advantage of the fastest steamer sailing on
any one Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or
Saturday, taking into question of course the
other questions of certainty and security. One
OF the gentlemen present here suggested that
this would turn the ocean into a race course
whereupon the agent OF the Bremen line replied
that competition and racing were doubtless as
prevalent now as they could be. This will be
cheerful news to those who ind it necessary To
visit Europe frequently. The thought that
their vessel is running q race night and day to
beat the steamer of some other line into port
will make the situation an unusually pleasant
one,

The Knoxville Voter has the following
queer story: Mr.. VIM. Donnel tells us by
letter of a case of extreme restitution
which recently came under his observation
in part of the county locally known as
Sand Ridge: In 1864 man came to this
county from Ohio, bringing his wife and
four grown sons with him. He was mill
wright and built the old Foster mill, in
Clay township. He had owned a large
mill in Ohio, and was in Independent cir
cumstances there; but his mill washed
away and other misfortunes befel him and
he came to Iowa a poor man. He was an
industrious man but INDUCED his sons in
idleness, and supported them by his own
labor. By hard labor for several years he
accumulated some property, but after his
death the boys soon wasted it. One o
these boys Mr.. Donnel met few weeks
ago His long uncombed hair was cover.
ed ny dilapidated hat. His pants and
short coat were made by himself, of coarse
linen bagging, and were the only clothing
visible upon him. His breast and knees
were entirely uncovered. He is strong
robust man, but prefers living in misera-
BILE hut, with dirt, rags, and filth as his
portion, to earning decent and comforta-
BILE living by work. Hunting, fishing and
idleness are his heaven. One of the sons
of this shiftless man came in during Mr.
Donneps interview. His only article of
apparel was brief calico shirt The female
portion of the hut. no Id deserted her hus-
band and two sons some time since, and
married another man. The remaining
three do their cooking upon an old sto We
without any vessels, and exist without any
kind of dishes to eat from. How they lived
through the past severe winter nobody
knows. They have never been suspected
of theft. The man seems happy and hope
ful, and talks cheerfully of his prospects,
and what he proposes to do. He is not IL
literate; chronic laziness seems to be his
only fault. Send missionary to Sand
Ridge.

Postponement of the Public Library Gift

louisville Courier-Journal Editorial, April 7thl
Postponement of the Public Library Gift
Concert.
1t will be seen by the announcement in our ad-
vertising columns that the third gift concert of
the Public Library of Kentucky, which vas to
have taken place to day, has been postponed until
July s. This postponement has not been occas-
toned, as advised by Gov. Bramelette, by
the small sale o f tickets ; on the contrary the
sales have been unusually large-much larger
than at either the preceding concerts-so large,
indeed, that the time given by this ninety day
postponement will enable Coy. Brame lette to dis
pose of every ticket and insure full drawing
without any reduction or scaling of the gifts, as
has heretofore been the case. Gov. Ii. sees his
way through 30 clearly that he announces in the
positive and unequivocal language that the draw
ing will take place July 8, and that it will be
full one. The owner Of the ticket drawing the
capital prize win get $780, 600 in greenbacks with
out any discount, and SO OF all the other gifts
The money sufficient to pay all the gifts-$5OO, 600
in greenbacks-is already on deposit in the Farm
ers' and Drovers Bank, set apart for the payment
Of gifts, and can be used for NO other purpose, as
will be seen by the cashiers certificate. With a
knowledge of these facts--and we do not he state
to guarantee their scrupulous fulfllment-there
will be such demand for the tickets now on
hands that in all probability not single one will
be left for sale weeks before the time of drawing
There never was fairer more honora bly, con-
Quoted enterprise before the public, and it has,
as it deserves, the entire confidence OF our peo-
pie. 1t ia one of those schemes in which the pur
chasers Of tickets, feel the most positive assur-
ance that the drawing will be fair, for it will be
controlled by the most prominent and distin.
gushed citizens in the city and State. and those
VINO draw gifts will be certain to get the money
the nom ent their tickets are presented.

STARCH.-With the vast amount of IL
cent corn and cent coal, we can but be-
lieve that Mahaska is the place for starch
factory. At meeting of the Citizens As
ISOLATION Of Des Moines recently, Mr.
Polk who had been to Indiana gave
some interesting facts with reference to
hominy and starch factories in that State.
From the LEADERS, report of his remarks,
we CLEAN the following One of the men
engaged in making starch, was using
40 cent corn-one thousand bushels a day,
and twenty-five cent coal. A factory with
a capacity! for consuming one thousand
bushels a day, will cost about thirty thous
and dollars. With mill of that capacity
he last year cleared thirty thousand dollars
The two hominy mills and the one starch
in the place Mr. PolR referred to, consume
six hundred thousand bushels of corn every
year. How long before Mahaska county
corn would be worth more than fifteen
cents bushel after demand Of six hun
dred thousand bushels should be added to
our present consumption
