We should have known whether to re-
ject or print, as VIC know the citizens of
Port, or supposed we did. The fault is
ours. What penance will satisfy the
injured feelings of the good folks of that
town! We have been told by their
committee that the ladies have threaten
ed to egg us if we refused to betray the
writer. That would be unpleasant, but
if that is their second demand we will
submit without murmur, in preference
to betraying the sacred obligation of
secrecy between publisher and cores
pondent. The latter would be mean
and cowardly. The people of Port De-
post are not wise in their anger; and
were we to yield to their unjust demand
when the sober second thought return
ed, they would heartily despise the
mean cowardice that influenced US to
deliver up an innocent and perhaps
helpless victim. We acknowledge that
the people of Port Deposit have been
good friends and kind patrons of THE
WING, and none are more panied at
their displeasure than we are, but we
cannot do the mean thing they demand.
We were not deceived by the writer,
but it was an error of judgment on our
part. 1t is vexaton but not an in
jury the citizens have suffered, and the
trouble arises from viewing the subject
from different standpoints. We assure
the Port Depostonians that all the rest
of the world views it from our stand
point of observation, and they alone
have got on the side of the eclipse

the blood of the long Kentuckian or
gentle "Cousin Sue"

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

A lull in the liquor license agitation
has succeeded the brisk breeze which
sprang up Immediately on the drawing
of the Grand Jury. For week past
we have heard or seen little or nothing
of the petitions pro and con that were
circulating for signatures. On Monday
next the Jury meets, and the moment
Gus question of grog or no grog, or a
limited ration, will be submitted to them
to scratch their wise heads over.
Last week we gave brief review of
some of the legal points raised against
the constitutionality of the grand jury
law, without vouching for their sound
ness or unsoundness. A dametricallv
opposite opinion is advanced by others,
learned in the law, who maintain that
the Constitution and custom unques-
tionably confer jurisdiction on the Grand
jury to determine the question of
granting licenses; that the Grand Jury
has always exercised the authority of
ordering licenses not to be granted by
the Clerk to certain houses or persons
when they thought it the interest of the
community to have such licenses with
held, and that the Clerk was bound to
obey the command. If this has always
been the law and custom, then the new
law, which requires the Grand Jury to
act directly on the issuing or withhold
ing all liquor licenses, does not confer
any new powers upon that body, but
makes what was before matter of op-
ton, a primary duty. If this opinion
be good law then the act of the Grand
Jury will stand the severest test that it
may be subjected to, and prove to be
law indeed. What they bind will be
bound and what they loose will be
loosed, and no legal arts will prevail
against their behests in the matter
and the men who sell the liquor will
have to fold their tents and prepare to
march in quest of other fields to reap.

THE FIRST GIN.

New Hampshire led off on Tuesday
last in the annual elections for 1878,
and both parties are worsted. The first
dispatches were a surprise to all, Civ
ing the Republicans much more than
they had expected, but subsequent re-
turns modified the result considerably.
1t was at first conceded that the Repub-
licans had elected two of the three Con-
gressmen, but later advices proved that
the Democrats had elected two and the
Republicans one. Neither candidate for
Governor-there being three in the field
having secured a majority, the elec-
tion will have to be decided by the Leg
islature, which will elect Republican
Governor, the Republicans having a
majority in the Legislature
The prohibitionists ran full ticket,
but effected nothing, but probably to
defeat the election of some of the can
didates who were friendly to their cause.
At least this is their general success
Third parties which stand on but sim
gle principle, no matter how important
that may be, rarely gain any thing in a
popular election They neutralize their
power by isolating it from the contest.

1t may be that Spain is on the eve of
another revolution. 1t is said that the
young King Alfonso is willing to abdicate,
and the announcement that Serrano, the
evil genius of Spanish politics has been in

rumors of approaching changes.

aspect. One of the anxious problems of our
politics is the tendency of Chinese emigra-
tion to pour into our Pacific Territories. With
an overhowing country on one side, and one
practically uninhabited on the other, and only
the sea intervening what must be the result
There will be an irresistible tendency on the
part of the Chinese TO seek home under our
flag. If we are wise we shall so conduct our
selves in this complication as to strengthen
our influence in China. England controls
India by virtue of what was done by Give
and Hastings and the cruel men who in
seizing that Empire, indelibly stained the
English name. Let America so act that out
Of these complications, ever occurring and
inevitable, we shall gain paramount inhu-

The Autumn Races.

If our magnificent weather continues the
autumn meeting at Jerome Park, which be-
gins on Saturday, will be an event of un-
usual interest. The preparations for the
meeting are unusual. The track is in excel
lent condition and the stables are full of
good horses. The leading turfmen of the
country will be present and most of the
famous horses of the season will take part in
the contests. There was a discomforting
rumor to the effect that the horse disease
was troubling the racers There has
only been slight foundation for this
story, and if the present weather continues
no danger is apprehended from it. The
autumn meeting will be for seven days, be-
ginning on the I'd of October and ending on
the 10th. This will take the best half of
the month the most glorious month of the
year in our Northern climate. We think
that the true time for racing is the autumn.
1t has been our custom, in imitation of the
races in the spring. This is because the
Derby takes place in the spring. Spring,
pleasant as it is, does not compare
with October. May and June are more
agreeable in the humid climate of England
and in the low countries of Northern France.
The English and French select their own
month for races, and we should select ours
without regard to their example. October is
the ripe fall season. Nature is in her best
mood, rich and full, with enough Of the
early tinges of autumn and winter to give the
scenery new life and new color. The breezes
are fresh and strengthening. A ride from
New York to Jerome Park in April or May
is languid experience compared with ride
in October, with the sharp sea air coming
over the Sound and the cool breezes from
the Palisades and the Westchester hills and
the long-extending reaches of forest and
plain, the trees turning into yellow and
brown as though they had been dipped in
wine.
