NEW YORK, December 26.-The

pearance to-day, there having been
only a limited attendance of buyers in
any department. There have been no

in either cotton or WOODEN goods, bust
ness ruling quiet throughout. The
tone of the market is dull, but there
is not quotable change in prices and
neither buyers or sellers are looking
for any developments of consequence

benefit the public, and not a select few, why was the notice not given in apt time to have these names forthcoming for entry on the ballots; why delay this aud give but three or four days notice? Now, there are some good and true Democrats and citizens on the present commit
 tee for whom we entertain the high. est regard, and whose motives, we would in no sense call in question, out we fear they are unwittingly y permitting this snew.light plan to be projected upon the committee by interested outside parties who hope to profit by the scheme, and ad- vance their own selfish aims by this snap notice. Furthermore, since it is openly charged that frauds were perpetrated by the judges in a num- Der of townships in the last prima- "; and since this charge has the sanction of grand jury under oath, is it not asking just little too much of the people to submit thus important matter to the same tri- bun ais? Is it not better to let we'll enough alone, and let the people settle thelr own local affairs to suit themselves? Would it not be best to elect these committeeman ia the openest aud most public manner possible, and thus preclude the possibility of fraud and the charge of ii? Our party is already reot and torn, and divided into factions, and such measures as are here pro- posed by the central committee will only aggravate the situation. We see that one ward has already given notice of it's meeting to choose dele gates to the county convention, and the election of a member of the centra committee, aud we trust that all other wards and townships will do likewise. The people are sovereign, and have the right to settle their affairs in the,r own chosen way, and no power exists rightfullY anywhere to deny them this privilege, no matter whether the motive be good or bad. It is dangerous to undertake innovations in the present divided state Of the party.

rlrst Thanksgiving Day in England.

Though Thanksgiving day is not now national institution in England, special days of national thanksgiving have been from time to time appoint ed after great victories or other deliy- erances from national peril.

IN POLICE COURT.
Judge Brown Throws the Hooks Into
 Brutal Papa ,

Judge Brown threw the hooks in to several deserving offenders in the police court this morning. There was a very large attendance of wit pesses and naturally tbe session was very interesting one.
 Arthur DuvaI, little black negro, was arraigned for disturbing the peace. He was also charged with having a pistol on bis person. He admitted disturbing the peace, but said he did not have pistol. The supposed pistol, he declared was only steel rod, with which he in tended to "bate hls opponent. He was taxed $3.
 Morris Coleman, another boy of color, was arralgned for fighting and disturbing the peace. He and a white boy had a misunderstanding on Main street Tuesday night. Sev eral witnesses being absent, the case was postponed until this after noon.
 Mary Hess,a yellow negro woman, who frequently appears in the police court, was up for slandering another woman of color, The "other woman of color" could give na reason why she had Mary arrested, so Judge Brown dismissed Mary
 A white man named Alexander was fned $20 for beating bis little son, Charley. His blows must have been very striking, for the young ster had ten by twelve mouth on him when he appeared in court The boy had his father arrested The father said bis son disobeyed and sassed him. A large part of the family was in court to tesalfy in the case.
