ton on Friday to the temperance people, but
managed to avoid giving his opinion for or
against prohibition, which is certain to be a
leading question in the Massachusetts canvass.
To one persistent questioner he responded that,
asking questions of Fourth of July orator
was like whiStliug at funeral. On the rail
road question he was more explicit, and pro-
posed as a remedy for all existing evils to treat
the roads as highways, free to all to run their
cars 90 them as they can agree, with proper
tribunal 10 case Of disagreement; and to the
common objection that the roads could not
manage the cars Of 50 many different owners he
shrewdly replied the roads do that now in the

what they do for monopolists they can do, or
be made to do, for the general public

formerly law of the Corporation some years
ago to prevent forestalling in the market. 1t

this complained of every day for the last two
months. On Saturday last went into the
market during market hours to buy some black
berries, aud found all sold. | then went into
the market among the hucksters, and found a
huckster with tray piled up with berries. and
while [ was buying, he had occasion TO open
the closet under his bench, and am sure L
saw three hundred quarts slowed away! Be
fore the new organization of the police system
before the war, often met with one OF our old
police officers at market and Inquired why he
was astir so soon. His answer was, looking for
those who we're toreStalling the market, and L
know that he brought many cases before the
Mayor, and they were fined for it. thluk 1t
is time for the Council TO take this matter into
serious consideration, and not suffer every artl-
Gle OF vegetables, butter and fruit, to pass into
the hands Of a ''riug,' for such are the buck
stcrs; worse on small sclle than Wall street
jobbers and sharpers. The market is being
ruined, totally, anu our citizens are made bow
to pay higher prices than the people Of the adj
jacent cities We get nothing from first hands
Every thing is bought up from the country
people before the citizens can get to- the market

citizens and the country people. There is

EXIT BOGUS REFORM election
in this city has finally disposed of the po-
litical traders who have been driving pros
porous business for the last two years
under the mask Of reform. The Committee
of Seventy, after getting large portion Of its
members into fat offices, dissolved during the
canvass, but was followed by several ofishoots,
all of which claimed to be the original reform
concerns and to WELD great power over the
city. Some Of these combinations managed
to extort money out Of such Of the candidates
as were foolish enough to be bled, but the re-
suit shows their influence was not equal to
their impudence. In future they will be bet
ter known. TIE people have at last discovered
that If they desire reform they must strive to
secure it by their own efforts and not through
the fundamentally of scheming politicians
and impudent strikers.

The JUDIcIARY.-The democratic judicial
ticket in this county appears to have been
elected entire. 1t is good thing that the
popular demand for pure judiciary induced
fair nominations on both sides, SO that so far as
the candidates are concerned, it mattered little
which might obtain success. Perhaps on one
consideration it is better that the victory
should have been with the democratic Judges.
The recent scandals on the Bench, for which
democrats we're responsible, will no doubt
render the new Judges the more anxious to
restore purity, fearlessness and uprightness to
the Bench, from the fact that they owe
their election to the democratic party, The
successful candidates will carry with them to
the high positions they are called upon to fill
good legal abilities and unblemished personal
characters, and hence we are justified in pre-
dieting for them honorable judicial careers and
in welcoming their election as q genuine
reform.
The New York herald., 1873-11-05

ANNExAT1oN.-Therei is very little reason to
doubt that the vote Of the people of New
York and Westchester county has been cast in
favor of annexation. Although the returns
have come in with extraordinary slowness, it
is known that there was no opposition to
annexation in Westchester county, and in the
city there will probably be good majority in
its favor. This result will be welcomed with
satisfaction. It would have been unfortunate
if the efforts of the anti-progressives had sue
ceeded in defeating measure upon which the
future growth and prosperity of the metropo-
lis so materially depend.
