the County Democracy is engaged IN the dill
cult task of kicking itself for its stupidity. But
the prospects are that tie blunder of 1882 Will
not be repeated. AT a secret meeting OF the
County Democrats q committee was appointed
to decide whether Tammany should he de-
nounccd at a public meeting for refusing TO
confirm Mr.. Clcvcands nominations, or
whether peace should be patched up. The
chances Just now seem to De against peace
80 much the better for the Republicans. II
the old fractional Democratic fight Is resumed
there will be nothing to prevent RcpubIcm
victory in this State this fall that Will con-
tribute materially to a greater victory next
year at the close of the National canvass.
The position Of the Liberal Government IN
England has not improved during tie week,
TWO defeats on measures of secondary lmpor-
lance having been added 10 the collapse OF the
Affirmation bill. A clear account OF the polIt-
zeal situation on the eve Of the Whitsuntlde re-
cess is given in our special cable dispatches.
The Liberal whip comes in for large share OF
criticism. but there is evidently something be-
sides political tactics at fault There is a posi-
tive decadencc of Mr. GlsdStOne's political
authority. @ are lnCIIucu ~ 'Cil'N' 'i''' '-'N
precedence given to the Tenants Compensation
bill over the London Government bill was a
discreet move Nir. DodsOn may have made an
unfortunate speech III introducing ii, but the
measure is one which will enable the Govern
nent to strengthen its influence where 1t is now
weakest-naInely, in the English counties. II is
to be hoped that tie London Government bill,
so often promised, has not been abandoned.
We publish this morning the most complete
description of Sunday in Ncw-IOrk that has
ever been printed. 1t is highly interesting and
instructive, not only on its religious side, bat
on all sides. II is day Of religions O5S"rN-
ancc. of rest. or Of pleasure, as you pleas.
There are plenty Of churches for those who
care TO worship, and numerous places Of rccrc-
alton good or bad, for those who only care
to amusc themselves. The hardest thing TO find
is quiet; but Il million of widc-lWakc people
cannot get along without making a noise, even
on the first day of the week. The fact Is,
Ncw-York Is a cosmopolitan city now, where
PEOPLE of all nationalitcs and all tastes iiAi
Themselves able to observe SUNDAY is they

Shall infringe his neighbours rights rc,tgi"-
ton which rests heavily only upon wrongdocr'.
Even this class make, no great cutlery Wh"n
the Sunday laws are strictly enforced. Onc
reason probably is that the means Of leaving
Ncw-York are so numerous that people who
find themselves fattor,d in the city can easily
get out OF it and do as they please elsewhere.
The international Fisheries Exhibition in
London promises to he a success. II was
opened with brilhancy Yesterday hy the Prince
of Wales. and'the attendance was large 'and
enthusiastic The English exhibits douotIe-S
are remarkably good. At the Fish Culture
Exhibition in Berlin in 1-NO the British d.
paltment was wrctchcdly incomplete, and :,
show was arranged possibly to allow -ihc
nation chance TO redeem itself. At Berlin
the American exhibits were excellent and
were appreciated at their full value. Il Is
gratifying to learn that there has been 10
falling of this wear in London. Our depart
mcnt is reported as attracting marked attcn-
tor. If the results OF this show are as good
as those which followed the Berlin EXpo>-
ton the fishery interests Of the United States
will be considerably advanced by it. Since
1850 there has been a greatly increased de-
maud for American fish product. abroad.
Certainly many more exhibitions Of tins kind
will hardly be needed before all tie world viii
