The hummer authorities of Gin
cinnati have repealed the Sunday or
dinance which was passed in 1857
This was done for the purpose of al
lowing saloons to be opened on Sun
days, that free whisky and free beer,
and anything that will intoxicate,
may be sold seven days in a week.
There is, however, State Sunday law,
and we hope that saloonists, bummers
and beer guzzlers, will be made to
feel the power of this law, and to re-
spect the authorities of the State OF
Ohio, if they do not the municipa
authorities of Cincinnati. Cincinnati
is not yet an independent State, and
so long as that city is in the S tate OF
Ohio, its citizens ought to be loyal to
its statutes. If they will not, they
ought to be made to feel the power of
its penalties for violated law, and that,
too, to the full extent of its provisions.

DefaIcatiOns.

II is a bumiliating fact that deiaica-
tions and embezzlements on the part
of many of our public men who have
been entrusted with public and indi-
vidual financial interests, are becoming
alarmiugly frequent, and should these
common betrayals of trust and breach
es of confidence increase for few
years to come at the same rate they
have for few years past, it may be-
come a question whether honesty and
truthfulness in responsible positions
in life is not the exception and the re-
verse the rule. No man, it seems
to us. with open eyes and intelligent
observation, can fail to be convinced
that there is q tendency in high places,
and hosts of ready and apt imitators
inlower stations of life, ready and cage r
to disregard the golden rule that re-
uuires that we should "do unto others
as we would that others should do
unto us"
That man, whatever may be his pro-
fession or condition in life, whose con-
duct is governed or restrained from
committing offenses against the moral
law, only by fear of the infiction ot
the penalties of the civil laws of his
country, is unworthy of confidence OF
ofpublic or private trust in any posi-
ton whatever. He is bad citizen. Per.
haps the world is not more corrupt
than in the earlier history of this gov.
ernment, but somehow it does seem
that corrupt men are more artful than
in former times, and succeed more
readily in carrying into effect theil
dishonOrable designs. They seem Il
be more successful in obtaining respon
sible official positions than formerly
hence, the frequency of official defal
cations and embezzlements. Their,
is no denying the existence of thes
things, and if we call for the remed,
for these evils the ready answer is
s'entrust none but honest, competen
men" Yes, that is the remedy, it il
true, but how are we to ascertain il
advance of a trial who are the trust
worthy men. Perhaps somebody will
point out the mode, and for fear tina
somebody will accuse US of moralizing
we will for the present, at least, la.
down our pencil.

EDS. HERALD Il have read with
great deal of satisfaction the laws gov
erning the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
published in your last issue, as taken
from the pamphlet of the Hamilton
County Temperance Association, and
wish that it were in the hands of every
citizen, and perused with that care and
attention which this all-absorbing sub
ject of temperance much deserves. l
believe that the strict enforcement Of
these laws would obviate the great
evils of which we complain, while
the gentle influence of local sentiment
tempered with Christian charity
and kindly feeling, would successfully
restrain the lesser ones.
I have watched with considerable
attention the progress of the crusade
since its Inauguration by the ladies of
this town. have felt deep pride in
the success of their labors, and hailed
with delight the suppression of the
many low haunts of vice and corrup-
ton that infested our town. In COM
mon with all good citizens, I would
now like to see the seeds planted by
these noble ladies blossom into rich
blooming and perpetual fruits. Solely
for the good of the cause, let us take
us some facts in connection with it
into consideration. The laws of ma
ture teach us that all men are not con-
stituted alike, and that in the accom-
plishment of any one object-while all
may agree as to its necessity and the
good to be derived from from it
many may differ as to the means to be
employed in its attainment In the
old established countries of Europe,
whose inhabitants have sprang from a
common stock, and have been for cen
turies united by the closest ties OF
commercial and domestic relations
we very frequently find the most bit.
ter feeling of hostility existing
amongst them on subjects of local as
well as national Importance. Then
how much more is it to be expected
that u strong diversity of opinion
should exist in our country, that has
iaen so lately settled and populated
by people 50 different in race, habits
manners and temperament Is it the
part of wisdom for any particular
class, however good, pure and philan
trophic their notions may be to sup
pose that all others must view things
in the same light that they doP Thei
opinions are the only ones worthy o
consideration, and that must conform
to the mode Of living that they hav,
laid down. Surely, all experienc,
teaches, and every fireside furnishes
striking examples to the contrary.
In the adoption of measures for tn
government of society, no matter hoy
circumscribed its limits, it is natura
to expect this diversity of opinion o
which have spoken. Then how muc
more 50 is it to be expected that thi
cue on of temperance should EN-
brace within it's limits views as differ
ent and antagonistic as the habits
manners and peculiarities of the peo
ple are that inhabit our country? Th
Germans form large portion of ou
foreign element. They are numer
