The Doors of Public Halls.

1t is very evident that many persons who
own or are in charge of public halls and pub
lie buildings have neglected to comply with
the provisions of the statute in relation there
to, which reads as follows, viz:
"That The doors of all theatres, opera
houses, public halls and places used for pub
lie entertainments, exhibitions or meetings,
and which doors are used, either exclusively
or in part, for the admission to and egress
from the same, shall be SO hung and arranged
as to open outwardly; and during any exhibit
ton, entertainment or meeting held therein,
such doors shall be kept unlocked and un-
fastened and in such condition that in case
Of danger or necessity immediate escape from
any such theatre, opera house or public hall
or place will not be prevented or interferred
with by such doors thereof being locked or
otherwise fastened"
Any violation of which renders the persons
so offending guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction, shall be fined not to exceed
one hundred dollars and not less than twenty
five dollars.
The chief engineer of the fire department
has concluded that it is about time that the
statute should be enforced, and for that pur-
pose orders have been issued for an examina-
tion of all public buildings, halls and churches
for the purpose of ascertaing whether the law
has been complied with and the doors hung 50
as to comply with the statute.

THE present editor of the Minneapoli

THE present editor of the Minneapolis
morning paper, printed in ST. Paul,
humbly acknowledged yesterday morning
that he had lied about Messrs. Gilfllan,
Sabin, Fletcher, Langdon, Mcmillan, ct
al. His admission was abject and shows
him to be a dirty scoundrel, who takes
advantage of having access to the col
umns of a newspaper to SANDER and
malign. In one respect, however, the
present editor is an improvement upon
the late and now incapacitated editor of
that disreputable sheet. He admits that
he is liar and that he lies wilfully
The late editor did an amount
of lying in excess Of anything heretofore
known, but he never was man enough to
admit 1t. If the present editor wishes to
vie with his predecessor he must brace up.
He will continue to lie, of course, for
that is what he is paid for, but he should
follow the example of his predecessor
and stick to it.

Horse Billiards.

The second match at horse billiards between
the Old Reliable and the Eclipse bowling
clubs, both of this city, was contested Tues
day evening. The Old Reliabl. was captained
by Col. Walters and Geo. Freeman held the
battle for the Eclipse club. TWAS battle be-
tween kids and old bucks, and the fortunes OF
the game as its progressed shifted from one
side to the other in a highly exciting manner
until its close. At the beginning of the last
round the Ecllpses were in the lead thirty-six
pins and thought they would leave only the
penumbra of the Old Reliables to indicate
where this luminary hadshone so long, but
age and blood told and the old fellows pelted
the pins so mercilessly at the close that they
finished the game one pin 70 the fore, and
still retain the championship Of the bowling
clubs of the state.

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

Synopsis Of tho Message Of the Governor
Continuation Of tho Dead Lock In the
House.
ALBANY, Jan. 1.-THE senate met at noon,
and Governor Cornell sent in his message. 1t
opens with an allusion to the national grief as
the wicked assassination of the president, and
the UNIVERSAL expressions of sympathy from
every quarter. The finances are in crafty
ing condition. Under the head of canals the
governor says the completion of railways, the
enlargement of the Canadian canals, and the
development of the Mississippi river route are
important considerations with reference to the
future capacity of the canals to earn necessary
revenue for maintenance. If, added to these,
there should be a smaller foreign demand
for bread stuffs, or reduced production
in the western states, it is plain
to be seen that under the present
constitution on canal expenditures the use.
fulness of canals may be seriously imperiled IL
not entirely suspended, until relief be secured
through amendment to the constitution. In
view of the time required for this process
your consideration of pending propositions
for constitutional amendment is respectfully
suggested.
Other points are touched upon In substance
as follows: All sales of oleomargarine as but
tcT euOulu NC pTcftnIcO; tnere SnOuld De q 1a1r
and just regulation of freight traffic and some
measure devised which shall afford needed re-
lief to patrons of railroads land at the same time
notimpose unreasonable tasks on corporations;
a careful amendment of the laws now in force
concerning Imprisonment for debt is sug-
gested; attention is called to;the inadequacy of
the excise laws and the necessity for effective
amendments thereto. The governor hopes
the consideration of the subject of an interna.
tional exposition will be renewed for later
date. The modification of the usury laws of
the state, at least so far as they relate to de.
mand loans, is referred to as means of pre-
venting unusual commission for money in
addition to legal interest. The bribery Of
voters is sternIy rebuked, and biennial ses-
siOns oflegislature advocated.
The house met and cast one vote for speaker
with the following result: Patterson Sc, Al
verd SO, Costello S. Necessary to choice, 6.
The Tammany delegates cast the Costello
vote. Adjourned until tomorrow.
1t is reported tonight that the Democratic
state committee will interpose to break the
deadlock in the legislature.

the long years of war, were carrying
large floating debts, and the tax rate was
fully up to the constitutional limitation
in many of them, while in all the rate
was considered too high to admit of any
further increase without being oppressive
on the people. The business of the coun-
try had been transacted on scale COM
mensurate with the demands of the gil
gantic war from which the country had
just emerged. Values were fictitious, and
confidence amongst business men was q
thing unknown.
Such was the business and financial
outlook of the country at the termination
of our civil war. Contrasting the present
condition of unexampled prosperity with
the gloomy surroundi ngs of sixteen years
ago, it is difficult even for the veterans
who went with Mcclellan from Rich
Mountain to Yorktown, or with Grant
from Cairo to Appomattex, to comprehend
the changes which have taken place in
the social, political and financial condi-
ton of the country since the armies of
Union were disbanded in 1865. The ma
tional debt has been reduced within the
last sixteen years from three billion dollars
to about one billion seven hundred mil
lion dollars, besides paying an annual in
.terest amounting to one hundred and fifty
million dollars and defraying the ordinary
expenses of the government. The present
coin balance in the treasury is between
two and three hundred million dollars,
the largest coin balance held by any ma
ton in the world. When we take into
consideration the fact that besides pay
ing one billion, two hundred million dol
lars of the national debt, we have a cur
rency worth one hundred cents on the
dollar, instead Of being at discount of
thirty-th per cent. as in 1865, some
idea can be formed of tho unexampled
progress we have made as a nation in
developing the material interests of the
country which have made this exhibit of
our national finances possible.
