London, IL. The Times has laudatory
article on the late Charles Sumner, refer
ring to the disputes between England and the
United States. The Times says "Sumner
was not able to judge as dispassionately, and
we possibly have not understood all the in
fiuences which made him apparently unjust.
1t is better TO forget these differences and re-
member the strong impulse for good, which
first drew him from private life so oppose
that great national wrong, slavery, and which
in spite of his many weakness, remained his
guiding principal even to the end.
The weather this morning is very unfavor-
able for the entry of the Duke Of Edinburg
and the bride-a binding snow storm pre-

Nall0mell lOral NeMs.

| On Monday evening next our new city
government will meet for the purpose of elect
ing subordinate officers to fill the important
positions in the various departments coAnec-
ted with the honor. influence, and material
and moral prosperity of our city. In his in
augural address, our orthy Mayor gave some
practical and valuable hints concerning the
duties and responsibilities of the hour; and
we doubt not that all the members of the City
Council felt impressed with the fact that for
the time being the people have the right to
expect from them their individual cooperation
in inaugurating and carrying forward tossuc.
cess such measures as shall promote our high
est good, and secure our present and future
growth and prosperity. In selecting officers
for the various positions designated by the
laws of the State and ordinances of the city,
the paramount question will undoubtedly arise
in every mind, what citizen or citizens are
best qualified to perform the duties required
in the various departments and who will
most efficiently maintain the honor, integrity,
dignity and mora welfare of our enterprising
and growing city," We have the utmost con-
fdence in the wisdom and discretion Of our
city fathers, and doubt not the people will find
that the high trusts committed to their SER
wants will be faithfully and conscientiously
executed.
| AUOtneT pTaCIlCal llluStTatlOn OF the truth
that 'the way of transgressors is hard" may
be found in the result of the trial of one of
our citizens before the Supreme Judicial court
at Augusta this week, on an indictment for
keeping liquor nuisance in the lower part
of the city. A fine of $4,000 and costs must
scatter to the winds good share of profits
accrued by the contraband traffic; while the
oboquy attending all such transactions can
scarcely be blotted out by oceans of green
backs, even if at unlimited command. Others
who may be equally culpable should take
warning, that they may not be subjected to like
experience and doomed to the inevitable pen
alties attending wrong doing. Obedience to
law and the observance of the plain and prac-
teal principles of honesty and morality are
reliable safe guards, without which no young
man, middle aged or old can hope to prosper.
Any deviation from the path of rectitude,
truth or sobriety will sooner or later bring
sorrow and evil, trbulation and anguish.
Such has always been the case, and the fu-
tare will only by repetition of the past.
An irrepressble sportsman on Second ST.,
seems to be doing wonders in the line of
skunk killing of late, having brought to grief
something less than score of the varmints
in a brief space of time. The crack of his gun
in the early morning is sure to be immediate
ly succeeded by an odor that is decidedly
more pungent than agreeable to the entire
neighborhood. We trust that he will persc-
we're until the entire pack is exterminated.
