Mr. Paul Falk has achieved the distinction Of keep
ing for two Sundays past the most notorious place in
New-York. All the encouragement which habtual
aw-breakers can derive from ostentatious defiance
of both law and public opinion Mr.. Paul Falk has
afforded them. Other tipping shops have been shut
his has been open. Whoever wanted to guzlle
his brains away has been afforded ample facilities in
his Park We have no doubt Mr.. Falk will accept
this statement as a compliment. Those who encour-
ago him take the ground that il is manly and
Christian business to make men drunk and to tempt
workingmen to exchange their hard earnings for beer
and wine instead Of bread. What is it to such men
that few hundred palefaced women and children
had to bear through the long hours of yesterday with
empty stomachs and aching hearts The liquor
dealer counts over his gains Monday morning
what cares he who loses Society is so much the
worse, but the rum-seller is so much the better.


We think that this particular Mr.. Falk ought TO
divide the credit with the Courts which gave him per-
mission for his debauch. That fatal facility with
which niunctons are issued in this State has long
been matter of comment in the courts of other States
and now and then eyokes a protest from the better
portion. We hold that Court has something
more to do than look at the narrow letter of law
There are two theories OF judicial administration
one that Judge is TO consider the law only; another
that he is sometimes to try to make his bench q
tribunal of justice. Society expects the Inter 1t
cares little for forms; it cares much for substance
II has been a favorite maxim with Judges that they
are to e1pound the statute and ignore consequences
That is a fcudal idea. The higher notion of Judicial
functions makes them guardians Of the good order
and morals Of society. Whether they shall be or not
depends much on what society demands In the
Excise law or any other law, Judge will probably
represent in his decision the necessity of the common

what il allows s Judges TO decide and the press as
the organ of public virtue, must crtcise the doings

The breaking up of the Conference seems to dispel
the last hope Of peace in Europe. The Power whch
has most to lose and least to gain, both IN territory
and in the worlds opinion, assumes the responsibility
of prec;pitating the contest. Very possibly
the Conference might have failed of its purpose,
but It would have had two clear advantages
it would have gained time, and it would have
defined the responsibility for the war. Either
result might have made war impossible, because
the tremendous cost Of these huge armaments
Of Austria and Prussia could not long be sustained
and because even Austria, with her faith in dying
traditions and dead treaties, could not afford to des-
pse nor long resist the unanimous verdict Of Europe
that she was in the wrong. As between her and
Italy, she neither has could have, any important
suffrage on her side; yet it is precisely because she
would not put the Italian question into the
scale that Austria recedes from the Confer
ence. She will not admit the possibility
of giving venetia to Italy except at the point of the
sword and decides for war rather than allow the ma
tionality of that oppressed province to become sub
ect of discussion. We are not Of those who believe

None will doubt that our total export of Gold and
Silver for these FIVE weeks has exceeded our import
by at least Forty Millions Of Dollars.


During these weeks, the premium on Gold has
worked steadily upward from 29i oGOi which was the

This rise involves dearer bread for the laborer's

MODE OF DRIVING AND HANDLING HORSES.
"A physician. in large practice, who is fire.
quently compelled to drive his horses hard.
He formerly drove the two together. and
used them up in few years. He now
drives them singly, and as far as possible on
alternate days. They are now. though
working harder. invariably healthy and
strong. He attributes this to the fact that if
hard drive strains any of their muscles,
they have time to regain their tone the next
day. Were the horses driven every day, a
slight strain would produce a little stiffness /;
the parts would rub against each other; !;
Inflammation would set in, and the horses be
lame-perhaps incurabIy SO. Farm horses
are not so liable to injury in this respect as
those driven fast over hard roads. But q
days rest occasionally will help them mate
rally. At all events do not work them
Sundays Or if any are driven far to church,
or for any pressing emergency, make it a
rule and adhere to it scrupulously, to let
such horses rest Saturdays or Mondays. Man
and beast must rest one day in seven, or pay
the penalty. Better work harder and rest
longer

 bSr A party of original traitors held a meeting in Washington, last week. to revive the National Democratic Association' which was long time ago suppressed for incipient treason. At this meeting Senator Salisbury of Delaware, who proclaimed in the Senate on Friday, that every inch of Delaware soil would be red with blood before the Civil Rights Bill could be enforced there, was the chief speaker and the tenor of his remarks wa about as fol. lows He said he was tired of supporting a man who would not help himself. lie was a warm personal friend of President Johnson, but he was tired of supporting man who let the Connecticut State election go against him, when he could have prevented it; who gives his offices to men who are his personal enemies; who keeps Cabinet about him not one of whom is friend to him, and who has scarcely a member in Congress to support his measures. . Let him stand by the Constitution, and then I will think of going to work again. Reorgan- ize your old Democratic Association and stick to that. You will undoubtedly succeed in time.' He believed to-day that revolution is pending. and President Joh6ssn could have better work for Southern men yet than hanging them. He believed that when Jefferson Davis left the Senate he was better Union man than Abraham Lincoln. This he should say on the floor in Congress before he got through. This work of Congress amounts to usurpation, and what it passes are not laws. Nearly all the Democrats in Congress wara siclr at heart be- cause the President would not attempt to help himself He still clung to the vilest of the vile, Edwin M Stanton, and to Secretary Sew card who had brought all this trouble and war upon the country.
