Sunday LIQUOR SELLING.

One result of the police raid last Sunday
upon the Beer and Liquor Dealers VIII DC q
mass-meeting next week Of the trade. 1t VIII
be. we suppose, what is usually called an IN
dignatiOn meeting. What its tone Will be, we
may PREJUDICE from that of n series OF resoiu-
tions passed on Tuesday last by the Central
Committee of the Dealers aforesaid. lhey
protest against the recent arrests or SUNDAY
sellers as can arbitrary use OF power" lhey
talk of endorsing no candidate for puDnc OF
6" flee unless favorable to the just interests OF
"the trade at large.n Singular]y enough,
they assert the dealing on Sunday IN
strong drink to be "lawful." The
attempt to prevent it they regard as ian un-
"paralleled outrage" All this seems to De
rather a lax use of language. The motives Oh
those engaged in the descent upon the par
rooms may be fairly criticised; but nothing Is
gained by characterizing the act itself as
Illegal. There was quite law enough for all
that was done, and even, we suspect, for
great deal more than was DONE The resolution
admits that those who were arrested were
engaged in the liquor trade on Sunday, May
"21n The Committee pleads guilty Tor the
culprits. How, then, were the arrests I'M
"lawful ?"
Even if Sunday were not day devoted 10
religious observance by the general consent
of society, it would be equally good policy to
close the saloons upon any day given up to
relaxation from labor. If the bar-rooms were
allowed to be open on the day of election,
their proprietors would doubtless make
great deal of money. Is it therefore ian arbl-
trary use of power" to shut them upl Every
body knows what drunken election day is III
New-York, and drunken Sunday is no bet
ter, full as it always is of murders, fights, and
disorders of every description. As to the re-
peal of the law we see room for difference OF
opinion. but there can be no honest difference
respecting its enforcement. To speak OF TINS
as unlawful" is to plunge the Who'll question
into hopeless confusion. Those fancying that
they are aggIicved may say that the law Is
bad but they must not be permitted to say
uncontradicted that there is no law for such
cases made and provided
While the statute exists, let it be obeycd
Let those who do not like it work for Its
repeal! This is the whole matter in a nut
shell. Meetings like that which it is proposed
to hold next week may express their sense OF
the ;mpolicy of the law; but if they talk OF It's
enforcement as unlawful" they will show
spirit hardly calculated to win the public con-
hdcncc.

EEV-JERSEY DEMOCRATS.

The Democracy of New-Jersey having cooled
itself off and having slept for a night or so, is
beginning to wonder whether that was really
a prosperous send-off at Trenton. When the
representatives of great party in convention
assembled manifest some physical uneasiness
and tendency to keep their hats on, the
spectacle is not altogether undemocratic nor
saddening but to sec such an assembly help
lessly surrendered to the domination of the
hurrah element cannot but make the judicious
grieve On this occasion the gentlemen with
lungs and canes, who were swift and expert
to applaud, and who had not totally refrained
from fluid stimulants, swept everything along
in such a confused and bosterous current that
it was difficult to discover the settled and sober
sentiment of the Convention. When the Hon.
Leon Albeit the memories of whose earlier
legislative career arr still fragrant as an ONT
ment poured forth, steps forward to champion
with ungrammatical vigor the cause of Parker
and purity when the Hon. John p. Stockton,
who never said anything that anybody re-
members, and who is only conspicuous for the
back-pay tucked into his wallet, is greeted
with riotOus enthusiasm ; when Patrick Doyle,
esq.,, Is selected as a fit representative of the
foremost city of the State and when Joel Parker,
who is always spoken of with compassion, is
summoned from Freehold to perform the title
role in the great National burlesque of 1.-THE
"Favorite Son." charity suggests that the whole
affair is to be interpreted as a joke.
There was a very respectable minority at
the Convention, however, upon whose fronts
engraven deliberation sat, and public care.

II all comes, we are told, of bad ventilation of
the Court-ho According to the long report
made by the Sanitary Inspectors to the Health
Board. the bad air of the Courthouse is posi-
lively dangerous to life. 1t is doubly dangerous
to the lives of the Judges obliged to sit for
hours day after day. The lawyers come and

jurymen, and the witnesses, and the spectators;
but the poor Judge is not only compelled to
inhale great quantities of bad air. but at the
same time to keep up exhaustive mental efforts.
The result is that ut one time we had five OF
them in n partially disabled condition. Sup
pose the ten Judges of the Supreme Court
should all die-what should we do thcnf
Formerly little or nothing was said about
ventilation. Now there is n constant talk
about it. The arrangements for securing it
are complicated and costly, and scientific and
