LARGE ISSUES IN A LOCAL ELECTION
The municipal election in Brooklyn thisyear is
an event of National importance. This may be
said without exaggeratiou; but it is not true in
the partisan sense in which the Democratic
leaders and their candidate for Mayor have in
terpreted the contest. In accepting the nOmina-
ton he made the fantastic announcement that
the Presidential campaign of 1884 would open
the next morning at sunrise. The political
managers were abashcd by the callow freshness

Apparently nothing will end the quarrel
among the doctors in regard to the question Oh
the Old Code or new one. The Old-Code men
have been beaten two or three times in the
New-York State Society and in the New-fork
County Society; and even in the Academy OF
Medicine their majority is not all-powertul
Yet they never for a moment acknowledge
themselves beaten, and even after their over
whelming defeat in the County Society on Mon
day night, promise that the struggle shall
be revived in February, when the State organ
ization meets at Albany. Both sides in this
contest have shown great pluck, perseverance
and skill in wire pulling; but after all, to the
public it looks like waste of strength to keep
up the fight so long. According TO credible
report the Old Code was dead letterto many OF
those who now uphold it, even before the New
Code was thought of.
The only thing which keeps the County De-
mocracy and Tammany Hall from uniting in
regard to the Senate nominations in this city
is Mr.. Kelly's demand that Senator Grady shall
be renominated by both factions in the With
District. 1t is not to be wondered at that the
County Democrats shudder and hold back at
the sight of this awful mOrsel of crow. Ever
since he defled The Governor i'll the Senate last
May, Grady has been particularly hateful in the
ewes of the County Democracy. Resolution
after resolution, cOuchcd in the strongest Ian
guage, has been adopted in denunciatiOn of the
Senator from the With. And yet here they are
forced to support him for reelection as condi-
ton of Tammany's support in other districts |!
But they will come to it. They have eaten
their bitter words so often this fall that to do it
once more will not be beyond their limit of
self humiliation. By the way, does any one
believe now that Mr. Grady was not acting on
Mr.. John Kelly's orders last May when he
defeated the Governors nominations in the
Senate

WEST WASHINGTON.

The fifth public rehearsal of the George
town Amateur orchestra took place last night
at Curtis hall, and was attended by Il largo
and very select audience Of the leaders of
Washington and Georgetown society. The
programme was one of unusual excellence,
executed under the direction of Prof Il.
Szemclenyi. Tho orchestra was assisted
by Nine. Anna Roemer Kaspar, who
was warmly welcomed by tho audience
and heartily encored after each number.
dler charming voice appeared to
unusually good advantage and has lost
nothing of its flexible sweetness by the long
rest she has given it.
The programme was as follows: 1. Over
ture "Tancredi," Rossni. g. Symphony No.

9. Waltz, Mon Rcvc," Waldteufel.
OF the orchestral numbers the Beethoven
symphony was by far the most prctentious
and elaborate composition ever attempted by
this organization, and its uniformly good
rendition reflected credit on tho performers
as we'll MS on the young gentleman who
welded the baton. A repetition of this num-
Der at the next public performance will bo
grateful to the auditors who appreciate that
class of music. The other numbers were
lighter in character and well rendered,

Troublesome shipping Laws.

FERNANDINA, FLA, Jan. 3l.--SIR: Having
been much interested lately in reading articles
on the revival of our shipping, and tho vari-
Gus plans suggested for removing some Of the
many burdens imposed upon our ship owners
| would like TO bring to the notice of your in
fluential circle of readers the latest and most
outrageous imposition yet inflicted upon lis
and i have been shipmaster over thirty
years.
left ST. Pierre, Martinique, on the eleventh
instant and with a clean "bill of health for
which paid the American consul at that port
$3.50. Martinique, rs all ship captains know,
is one of the most healthy of all the West In
dia islands, infectious diseases being of very
rare occurrence But upon my arrival here
was informed by the pilot that under the eX-
isting state law must be fumigated. No per-
son could be allowed TO depart from the ves-
sci and no one could come on board until
the port physician had boarded me. Natur-
ally, was somewhat annoyed by this, as il
would materially delay the transaction of my
business, but supposed that the doctor would
soon be Off and that | might soon go on shore.
But IL seems that this officer is paid to inspect
vessels when ho gets good and ready" and
not before, for although l anchored in Fer
nandina harbOr at 1l:45 yesterday a. m, this
enterprising individual did not make his ap-
pearanCe until this q. M, or over twenty
hours after my arrival And this, notwith-
standing had used up two ensigns trying to
signal him, and at last was compelled to char
ter towboat to run up to the town and
bring him down to me. And when he gets
hero what does he do2 Why, he goes down
into the lower hold, puts few sticks of pitch
pine on top of my ballast II came across " in
ballast" which was all "dove up" from the
bottom at st. Pierre), sets these sticks on fire,
pours on some sulphur, and, reascending Ia
the upper deck, coolly demands $25 for his
arduOus labors.
Now, ask you candidly, gentlemen, is IL
not an outrage that our shipping laws are not
better framed than this? We are compelled
by the United States government to obtain a
bill of health before leaving foreign port
and yet upon arriving in this country we are
told that ii is not worth the paper it is printed
on, but that we must submit to state law
(superseding that of the United States), and
be swindled out of $25 more! / ask again, is
ii fair or just in any sense to impose all these
petty burdens on our merchant marine? IL
it any wonder freights are dull? Who would
wish to embark money i'll any enterprise
where he was sure of being continually bitten
at all points?
In closing / would advise all masters oi
vessels bound to ports on the st. Mary's river
to anchor in Cumberland sound, enter ut St
Marys custom house, and then If they wish
drop down to Fornandina. 1t costs but $1.5C
to clear from st. Mary's for Fernandina, and
there at once is clear saving of S23.50, as
this most outrageous and eXtortionate law
does not exist, thank heaven, at st. Mary's
and besides, you also save 81 per foot on bar
pilotage! CAPT. FREDERICK A. SMALL,

THE DErECTIvE SCANDAL.
More Information Coming in--Four sus-
picious Persons Described.

Although there is now no organized corps
of detectives, the citizens feel no undue
alarm for the safety of their lives and prop
erty-in fact, business men whose interest
has been greatly aroused by the develop
ments that were made during the progress of
the investigation which eliminated in the
bill abolishing tho detective force are now
keenly looking after their own interests.
The chairman of the citizens committee,
however, does not by any means consider
that his work is completed, and IL is evil
dent that the citizens generally are of
the opinion that the inquiry into
the charges of colluson with thieves
and burglars on the part of the ex-detectives
should be pushed TO the very utmost Letters
are constantly being received detailing new
cases, and now that the detectives arc out of
power many who hesitated before to say any
thing upon the subject are voluntarily coming
forward and making statements that supply
links heretofore missing in many of the cases,
the outlines of which have already been
published. These have all been turned over
to the district attorney and will he made
ready for presentation to the grand jury.
The officers of tho police force arc cxcrcis-
ing greater vigilance than formerly, and tho
work of Officer Edelin, in arrestng four of tho
gang of burglars that infested East Washing
ton, known rs the "Molly Macks," shows
what can be done. That one of them has been
allowed, through carelessness or trickery, to
escape, Is no fault of his. lie yesterday after
noon recovered from George Butler one of

are worn close cut. He is dressed in
dark clothes, and wears slouch hat.
The third is about the height of the second,

singular as to excite suspicion, and the above
descriptions were given to an officer.

"wINrER OF DIsCoNrENr."
BY IKEY N. NORRIS.

Old Winter stalked across his icy plains
Cold barren northlands swept by hurricanes,
Where breaks the Arctic on the lonely strand
OF that unknown mysterious Polar land,
Along whose coast no vessels ever glide
Save stately icebergs drifting with the tide
And grumbled loudly ut the bitter cold,
Saying he'd not been warm for time untold.
Bright Summer, sporting in a gentler cline,
Der veTdant fields whore grows the fragrant thyme,
And signing breezes play lullng tune,
And blooming roses fill the lap of June,
Heard his loud walls, and with a noble grace
Flew far away and gave him her sweet place.
So climbing in his old well seasoned sleigh,
Drawn by proud Autumn his gay steed, away
Ger times we'll travelled road he swiftly passed.,
And reached his wished.for land ofwarmth ut last.
But 10 the breeze, theSuns bright rays had fed
And gathering tempCsts hercely ragged DER head
Instead OF blooming flowers and meadows green
A frozen land ofsnow and ice was seen.
For though DER half the planet he had rolled,
Winter was winter still, ana still was cold,
And DER the landscape threw his withering blight,
Changing TO gloom what erst had been SO bright.
While summer winged her flight across the globe,
And spread DER distant lands her verdant robe,
Growing all nature with perfect Joy,
For meath her smile reigns bliss without alloy.
How like the seasons human souls are made.
Some joy and sunshine, Others care and shade;
Some carrying happiness where'er they go,
While others scatter wide the seeds of woe;
Some crownlng life with beauty, joy, and light,
And others shrouding 1t In sadness, gloom, and

Carried OF the prizes.

Carried OFF the Prizes.
The Washington smngerbund gave it's an.
nual masquerade ball at Abnor's music hall
last night. 1t was brilliant afair--by all
accounts the best ever given by tho society in
this city. Not less than 400 ladies and gem
tlemen were in mask, and nearly as many
spectators crowded tho hall and adjacent
apartments. Many of the costumes of the
maskers were rich and unique in design, the
wearers having taxed their ingenuity aud
purses without stint to originate something
new and attractive.
The cream of the German society Of Wash
ington is embraced in the membership of the
Smngerbund and there is, beside, goodly
sprinkling of Americans. The ball last night
opened at 10 o'clock with little speech by
Mr. Paul Schulze, president of the society.
Mr. Schulze and Mrs. Marks led the grand
march, followed by the Washington Awk-
ward squad and long procession of merry
maskcrs. There was dancing until II o'clock
Then ensued u furious sham fight
in tho gallery between two mask
ers and q dummy, which terminated in
the precipitation of the efllgy upon tho floor
below amidst the laughter and applause of
the multitude Next went through n splendid
exhibition drill with wooden guns. The
members were in uniform and the manner
in which they went through tho manual of
arms gave evidence of thorough training.

Mrs w. +, Lutz was awarded the prize
offered for tho most original and striking

off the prize offered for the best costume worn
by gentleman. Mrs. Lutz wore ribbon
dress, upon which was painted tho words and
notes of the prize song sung by the society Mt
the Philadelphia sengerfest last summer
She carried the banners and representations
of the prizes that should have been awarded
the society but were not. The costume was
elaborate and wonderfully picturesque. Mr.

dancing lasted until nearly daylight.
