The Mayor having published an oFd!'
nance which was passed by the
Council some years since, commanding
sill places Of business to close on the Sab.
bath day, Thos. j. Lyons, who keeps
barber shop IN the basement OF the
Doughertv block, on the corner Of Mar
ket and Third streets, kept his establish
men. open on Sunday last, for the pur-
pose Of testing tire COnstILutIOnsllty OF
the ordinance in our courts. be was
consequently arrested for violating the
Sunday law. Yesterday morning, when
he appeared before the Mayor to answer
the charge, his counsel ssked the DIS
misssl of the case on the ground that it
was unconstitutional. The Mayor re
scrycd his decision.
We will take occasion to say here, that
the enforcement OF the ordinance, which
has been q dead letter for = number OF
wears. even if Il is constitution a., meets
with the disappTsysl Of a large majority o!
our citizens. It has become u custom
with D4mber Of them, especially with
business men. who are otherwise employ
ed on Saturday night, 10 hsve their
shaving and bathing done on Sunday.
Common use makes good grammar" and
on the same principle custom should
make good law. The parties we hsve
cOnyersed with on the subject tsIl TO see
that they commit any great wrong by
being shaved on Sunday, and IS II Is a
great convenience" TO them, seq no reason
WHY IL should be discontinued. Satur-
dav is the busiest day and evening IN the
week, and person to get shaved must
pertorce spend from on . to two hours in
= barber shop waiting an opportunity.
Outside Of the fact tina. II Is very uuCom.
Portable these warm evenings, man who
j. engaged IL any kind OF business can
employ this time to very great adyan-
,srl. The BARRIERS themselves are gem
orally willing 60 close up, being anxious 10
nave tuil holiday once q week as well IS
other people, but knowing the great ad-
vantage 1t i to their patrons, will keep
open If allowed TO 90 so. The custom
mas heretofore been for them 10 close up
al noon on Sunday. They also say that
If tie Tc.ns arc to be drawn so laut on
them they see DO reason why it should
not apply to livery stables rs well. The
ci-ar men were also included in the or
4Ilauco. and last Sunday it WAS rs I'M
possible 10 get 3 cigar in the city Of
~.eIbeuyI.!e IS 1t Is, according 10 the
= be. for a rich man "LC enter the King
dom of Heaven" We await the decision
OF the courts in the matter, and if they
conclude tha, the law CONSTITUTES 1t 10 be
wrong, We will have to scquiesce for such
time, ut least, rs the present incumbent
shall occupy the position of Chief Exec
