A Very Important Question,

The Temperance people are making fght in
both houses Of Congress against national legisla
tion licensing the manufacture and sale Of spirits
apd fermenled liquors. The Senate Finance Com.
mlttee has aIerady reported bill, substantially
the same as that introduced by M. Howe, of Wis
oontln, which s said 10 embody the Temperance

IncorrIgibIc Internationa,i.,s

NEW York, Jan. 23.-The international sts are
still very closely watched by the authorities. 1t
is known that meetings have been held in various
places every evening since the outbreak ON Tom
Lins Square, and that the harrangues delivered
have been invariably violent, and calculated to
iucite to further disturbance

Difference in favor of Baltimore.


At the same time, the inland transportation is PA
miles less from Baltimore than from New York
The same proportions hold good as to Pittsburg,
Cincinnati. Louisville and ali the other interior
cities OF the West aud Northwest We have also
this further advantage. Bituminous coal can be
put on board of steamers al Baltimore, less the
difference OF cost Of transportation from Baltl-
more to New iork-the latter drawing her sup
plies Of coal from our Cumberland mines. NOW
US the consumption Of coal by ocean steamers
ranges from fifty TO one hundred and FIFTY tons q
day, according to the sire and power CT the vessel
differences Of only . dollar a ton, BY loading at
Baltimore would make saving IN fuel alone OF
and for each steamship making twelve voyages a
year, averaging thiiteen days each way, of from
g. $40 to s23,4oo year. We have thus treaie
briefly 0. dstanees and economies, but there is
much more yet to be said III favor of this great
project of q ship canal.

Representation.


As the State is represented at present in the
General Assembly, 1t accords with the population
about as shown in the following figures

adopted by au amendment to The Constitution by

the General Assembly would be as follows;

The figures above were produced by the Com
n.ereidl in an article advocating an amendment to
the Constitution by which representation would
be equaliz ed, and we presume they are correct
While New Castle county had but little more pop
ulation than Kent or Sussex the disparity was but
little thought Of, although Hon. James A. Bayard
made strong effort in favor Of representation
according TO population in the last Constitutional
Convention, and resigned his seat in that body

the Plains was better adapted for military pur-
poses than the British system his views would
be accepted by all military men as sound.
English soldiers, taken from all grades and
cSndluons of life, cannot be made to ride a.
well%n afew months as men who have spent
all their lives in the saddle; but they can be
turned into cavalry capable of whipping the
Sikhs, who in the matter of mere Aorseman-
ship and dexterous use OF their weapons are
unrivalled Nor are the Sikhs q puny or
cowardly race. In physique they are the
equal if not the superior, of the European,
with all the advantages of climate in their
favor. 1t is notorious that individually tho
Sikhs are better horsemen and better swords
men than any Europeans, and yet these
horsemen were beaten over and again by
British cavalry made up of Irish peasants and
Glasgow or Manchester weavers. What, then.
becomes of the horsemanship theory Of
Colonel Bracket?

The Cuban War-Insurgent Successes.

The Cuban War-Insurgent succes ses.
The Cubans lately have been giving proof
of considerable energy and skill in their
operations The most important battle fought
since the beginning Of the war took place at
Limones and resulted in the defeat of the
Spaniards. According to their own account
they lost in killed and wounded over one hun
dred men, The battle was long and well con-
tested and in this its chief value consists as
showing the growing confidence of the Cubans
in themselves and their ability to meet the
Spanish soldiers in the field. Hitherto the
charge has been made against the Cubans that
they relied wholly ON surprise and were never
able to make stand-up fight against their
opponents. This year the tables seem to
have been completely turned. Although the
Cubans, from their want of artillery, are
unable to make any impression on the
towns or to effect permanent lodge
ment the system of attack on all exposed
places has so distracted the attention of the
Spanish generals that they are no longer able
to make head in the open field against the
despised Mambis. If the same success con-
tinue to attend the Cuban arms during the
winter months, which are the most favorable
for Spanish operations, public opinion may
be sufficiently strong to force the recogni-
ton of Cuban belligerency.

THE CONFLICT BETWEEN Law AND LAGER.
SoNo AND STATUTE, has not vet opened with
any vigor between the Germans and the Sab
batarians. Yesterday evening the children of
Germania avoided the more fragrant breaches
of the Sunday law, but were festive, vocal, in
strumental and saltatory to their hearts con-
tent Some kind of truce appears to have
been arranged between the police and the
Germans by which the law is to be tested
without appealing to unpleasant methods.
The matter will go TO the courts, it is believed,
and we shall probably in the end have an
opinion from the Supreme Court on the con.
stitutiouality of the Sunday law itself.

WILL HE VETO THE BnL?-The South.
ern members of Congress, it appears, enter
tain q hope that the President may veto the
bill repeating the increased salary and back
pay act of the last Congress, because the re-
peal is cut direct at the members of his Cab
met, whose compensation, they say, was little
enough even with the late increase from eight
to ten thousand a year. But as the repeal of this
increased salary bill is in accordance with
the will Of the people, and as the President
has said that he has no policy to enforce in
conflict with the will of the people, we zeal
,culate' that he will sign the repeal
