ICE YACHTING.

THE NEW HAMBURG CLUB IN BAD LUCK
SPLENDID ICE BUT NO wIND-A SCRUB RACE
FOR THE NoN-ACrIvE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
EXCURSION 10 ALBANY.
NEW HAMBURG, N. Y, Feb. 10. 1876.
II was the intention OF the New Hamburg Ice
Yacht Club to decide three important races to-day.
such was the announcement OF Commodore Grim
neil last night, and everything pointed to the
realization OF the hope that Old Boreas would
send them steady and FAIR breeze, as
this alone was desired TO make the Occa-
sion brilliant success. The result, how
ever, proves the precarious nature Of the SPORT
the morning broke gentle as o day In April, and
until two O'Clock there was hardly air sufficient
to blow out a candle. Then it pulled so lightly
rom the westward that but one event OF minor
interest was decided. This Is looked upon as very
unfortunate by the members OF the club, as the
Ice Is In the most magnificent condition. Far
down the river even beyond Newburg, nine miles
away, and up this noble stream TO Milton, four
les distant, the surface OF the crystal plain Is az
smooth and glittering AZ Mirror. Without
cracks, air holes or weak places 1t Is In that per-
iect state 10 present the tnriling pastime OF ice
yachting IN It's most attractive form.
Notwithstanding the unIavorable nature OF the
morning the members or the CLUB gathered early
at the river SIDE and prepared their boats for
whatever might turn up. soon the graceful
things mad all sail set and their owners awaited
patiently for breeze. One, two.. three and even
Jour hours passed ana still disappoin tment stared
them In the face. IL was now dinner time, and
the owners repaired to their homes, hoping
that the afternoon might be more favorable
for the sport. Ali the morning Commodore

IDiscomforts to Citizens-Dangers
from Fire.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-11-07

The Democracy, as well as the Repub-
licans, expect to "proft by the recent
election in Mississippi" Their organs
declare that such a GLORIOUS victory"
must not pass without being improved.
That their friends of Mississippi have
taught all the other Southern States how
elections may be carried and political VIC
tories won-by force of arms. The Re-
publicans on the other hand will insist
upon having an adequate force to protect
citizens in their rights. Where there is
not integrity and virtue enough in a State
to enforce the laws assistance will be de-
manded from a higher power. Mr.. Pierre
pont will have ample time, meanwhile, to
study the constitution, and find it his
duty to pay heed to its peremptory man
dates. If he can find any authority in
that instrument which gives to an armed
minority the right to do all the voting,
and elect candidates by bullets instead OF
ballots, then the Mississippi policy will
probably prevail in the South, and the
Republicans be DISTINGUISHED. As this
will be the end of States rights, we doubt
whether it will be popular even in the
South. 4 ra r eat III ,-f..

THE GOOD FAITH OF MEXICO,

The REPUBLICAN some months since sug-
gested such a sound military occupation
of the turbulent territory of Texas and
Tamaulipas as would assure obedience to
the laws of either. This view we have
reason to know was considered by COM
petent authority in Mexico, so that with
out assuming to ourselves the merit of
having given effect to the suggestion, we
have been gratifed to know there was
nothing in it derogatory to the self-respect
or sensibility of Mexico. Cortina has
been effectually prevented from continu-
ing his depredations and disturbances,
and we infer from the telegram published
by us on Sunday last that the military
authorities on both sides of the Rio
Grande are in entire accord, and that each
will lend the other such aid as may be es-
sential to protect the property and people
within each jurisdiction from the marau-
ders who are equally the enemies Of both.
Our interest in this subject has grown
out of an extreme anxiety to see the peace
full relations of the two republics so guar
anteed that an equal and prosperous COM
nnerce will grow up between them. The
REPUBLICAN has taught that the same rela-
tons which have SO long existed between
the United States and Canada should be
instituted between the United States and
Mexico.
We are gratifed to have contributed
even by perception and advocacy of q
peaceful fraternal policy to an object of
SO much importance to New Orleans and
to the Union. We are also pleased to see
that the government of Mexico appreciates
the sincerity of American friendship. and
will carry out in good faith q policy of
international cooperation and reciprocal
defense.

THE CASE OF NEWaAss VS., RAY.

A matter of some Importance is now
pending in the Superior District Court,
involving the right by preference of GER
tain money in esse or in posse in the State
treasury belonging to the revenues of 1874.
Mr.. Ray has applied for and obtained an
injunction against Mr.. Dubuclet, COM
manding him to Pay lone of the warrants
of 1874 except those drawn to pay the
salaries of Offices created by the constitu-
ton, and the mileage and per diem of
members of the Legislature. In brokers'
nomenclature these are call ed "constitu-
tional warrants" and by necessary i'm
plication all other claims against tn,
treasury are unconstitutional.
Mr.. Newgass comes into court with
six thousand dollars or more of what,
perhaps, Mr. Ray would call '~'unconsti-
tutional" warrants, and claims a chance at
the money either now in the treasury or
expected in during the pending settlement
by the tax collectors. Mr.. Rays injunc-
ton cuts him of, so that he can obtain. no
relief from the Treasurer. Even the
Superior Court has refused to comply with
his request, and he is very anxious to get
a hearing in the Supreme Court, where
Messrs. Merle and Chapuis took a similar
suit last year. This case is reported in
the Twenty-sixth Annual, page 1877 ct seq.
Two Of the judges, Morgan and Howell
delivered opinions in which views are
put forth which seem to sustain Mr..
Newgass in his litigation. Justice
Morgan was in favor of O m~andamus,
but this position was finally abandoned
by the court, and judgment rendered,
denying the writ, on the ground that it
was presumed the Treasurer would not
refuse to pay n creditor of the State
and give an illegal preference to another,
and pay all the money in his hands to
him." because by so doing the party in
jured would have q right of action against
the Treasurer on his bond. 1t seems to
US that il there is no law which author
ICES the Treasurer to give preference to
one creditor over another, as Mr.. Justice
Morgan says, taers is none which autho-
ICES o court 10 do so. Neither the Treas
urer nor the court can make laws, but
they, Ike claimants, are bound by rules
which have been enacted by competent
authority. -.
