Sunday Ira Ric.

Liquor dealers over the river in Jersey
have hit upon line of operations that is
certain to increase very greatly the number
of persons who may be rallied in opposi-
ton to the execution of the laws under
which their establishments are closed on
Sunday--a line, therefore, that strengthens
their case, Hitherto the liquor dealers and
proprietors of places of amusement, who
are commonly liquor dealers, also, have had
to fight the Sunday laws alone, although
there were large numbers Of other persons
interested like themselves in the freedom
of Sunday traffic from Puritanical restraints

TIA urus the squatter.

One of our correspondents "on the spot"
or on some spot not moro than thousand
miles distant, sends us the above designa-
ton as happier statement Of the concep-
ton on which is framed the name Sitting
Bull; and we can heartily say, ''for this re-
lief much thanks" If we cannot have done
with this particular savage in any other way
it would be pleasant to have done with him
nominally. In such name as ''Young-
Man-Afraid-of-H His Horses there is q kind
Of rude picture --such an attempt in
rhetoric as the Indian picture writing
is in art In Touch.the-Clouds we can
perceive an Indian laugh at the grandilo-
quent little fellow SO styled In Crazy
Horse there is notion Of rude, irrational,
yet splendid rage. In short, in nearly all
the Indian names there is some salt of refec-
ton or veracity but this one name of
Sitting Bull has seemed always very unsatis-
factory, for this Indians nature, combined
of fox and wolf, seemed utterly unbull-like,
and NIL that is known of attempts to get hold
Of him rather strengthen the fancy that he
never sat down in his life. But the happy
teristic and tolcrablo by comparison
with the moro usual name. This desig-
nation of man by his habitual
attitude at time when there was
little else about him to designate than that
attitude and q stolid tenacious character is
in the way of the thoughts Of aboriginal life
But ii remains to be seen whether he will be
much OF q squatter over the line. There is
one feature OF the story Of the negotiations
that will excite the most fearful distress
throughout this Republic, and that is the
declared intention Of the savage to inflict
himself upon our dear cousin John Bull.
But this may be only hasty fancy on the
part of tho Indian excited from sympathy
with our cousin on account of the posses
sion of the same family name; and it may be
that the savage meant to deceive u.s. But if
he docs squat over the line we can at least
offer our British cousins the services to deal
with him of all our Indian agents, of which
we shall have little further need.

Reg gister To-Day.

Those citizens who intend to vote in the
coming election will find it for their COM
fort to visit the places of registration to-day
and so avoid the press, delay and annoy
ance of the final days. No person con vote
unless his name is registered, last years
registration going for nothing, although the
voter may not have changed his residence.
Quiet citizens who dislike crowd and are
impatient Of waiting for their turn ut the
end OF a long queue should register to-day.
The New York herald., 1877-10-24

because the bearing of the law on the
sale of other commodities was little needed
by the authorities. Indeed, the authorities
heed all parts of these laws equally little,
and if they were left to themelseves the
enactments would become dead letters.
But they are stirred up from time to
time by the agitations of the "unco guid
and over righteous" to whom the liquor
traffic and the Sunday theatres are especial
denominations, SO that all the fury Of these
revived agitations are turned in those two
channels. But the liquor dealers Of Jersey
City have called attention to the fact that,
of three hundred establishments open for
the transaction of business on Sunday last,
only seventy were liquor saloons. In this re-
suit the ferries, horse cars, stages and hacks
are not counted. AS the law against the sale
of liquor on Sunday bears almost equally on
the sale of all the commodities offered in this
list of two hundred and thirty shops, the
opponents of the Sunday laws are increased
by the number of the persons who find the
comforts dispensed at these places neces-
sary to their welfare. This sort Of warfare,
therefore, enters on q new phase in New Jer-
sey and in all other places where the liquor
traffic is not exclusively forbidden.
The New York herald., 1877-10-24
Another Terrible Possibility.

People who have observed the rapidity
with which doctors, mostly poor ones are
made in our schools, who have counted with
dismay the names by the hundred and
thousand to which every year the College Of
Physicians and Surgeons, and half dozen
other establishments in this and neighbor-
ing cities, add the qualification indicated
by the letters M. D.-this judicious part Of
the public will learn with horror that it is
school Columbia College murmurs this
threat. At the bare proposition that
Columbia proposes to set up o new
school for instruction in medicine people
would applaud, simply because it would be
thought that this famous corporation was
inspired with the happy purpose to teach
this science more fully to those who had
been before badly taught or half taught in
other schools. But that is not the project.
On the contrary, Columbia herself is ami
mated in this direction in some degree by
the very conception that is the bane of all
the desire to boast the largest number Of
students. AT present the College OF Physi-
clans and Surgeons, the Oldest and best Of
our schools, is called the medical department
of Columbia College; but Columbia wishes
to sever the relation that thus exists be-
cause she cannot secure any guarantee from
the medical school for the qualifications Of
graduates who yet bear her name on their
diplomas. That is fair grievance on her
part, and there is no doubt that there are
the most substantial grounds for her dis
satisfaction. Rivalry in schools, the desire
to have the fullest benches and the appre-
hension that the school will be made IN
popular with students by even an appear
ance Of severity in the examinations-con-
siderations like these lead to the graduation
as doctors in medicine of men unfit by
their requirements to possess any degree Of
learning whatever. But how can Columbia
remedy this? Not by imitation, certainly !;
not by organizing q new medical school
merely, that she may retain among univer-
sites lead in the number of students of
which the separation OF the medical school
would deprive her.
