Sunday Rum and Lager Entirely


Stoppcd-No Rows and Very Few Ar


rests-The Germans ON the Situation.


Yesterday, the second Sunday under the Perry
regfne and the quiet enforcement OF the State and
municipal law lorbidding the sale Of liquor, lager,
cigars, oysters, &c, on the seventh day, passed OF
in Newark with even more quietness and good
order than last Sunday, and that was the freest
from unseemly rows or disturbances known in
many years. Not saloon in the city kept open in
front, though few were reported as having side
doors ajar. AS a consequence only one or two
arrests for disordery conduct were made all day
in population approaching 10000 inhabitants.
One or two persons were observed during the day
vainly endeavorng to walk chalk line on the
sidewalks, but the disturbance OF their equilibrium
Is believed TO have been caused by pocket pistol
practice, the pistols being primed on Saturday
night. The manner in which the German popula-
ton have yielded up their Sunday enjoyments
without the slightest obstinacy or expressed dis
satisfaction furnishes the fullest proof of their law
abiding qualities and is a severe rebuke to those

them as nothing better than lager-swiliing
nationality. Last evening HERALD reporter
called on few leading German saloon keepers, and
learned from them that While 1t Is probable that
some measure In their behalf will be adopted at an
early day to obtain modification of the law no ac-
uon had yet been taken. There are two proposi-
Legislature Tor repeal OF the state law,
and the otner TO apply TO the Common Council
for modification OF the municipal ordinance so as
10 allow the saloons TO Keep open side doors at
hours other than church ones. The latter prOpO-
sitiOn finds most favor among the saloon keepers.
What the Council would do with it ia difficult to
foretell. Meanwhile there Is much anxiety among
saloon Keepers to know what the Grand Jury Will do
with vioators. The better class severely condemn

PITTsBURG, Jan. Is, 1874.


The glass manufacture OF Pittsburg, which has
been parayzed TO greater degree by the recent
panic than almost any other branch OF industry is
rapidly reviving. On tomorrow night the very
large mint glass mandatory OF Plunkett 4 Co. in
South Pittsburg will apply the match to their fur
naces and their WORK Will thenceforward go ON
again as before. This establishment has ten
melting pots and employs $50 men, and Is con-
sdered one OF the largest OF the kind in the country


There are also indications OF compromise be-
tween the window glass manufacturers and their
employees, the latter having been on a strike
against proposed reduction OF their wages ever
since last July. There are eighteen OF these manu-.
factories employing when in operation upwards Of
1900 men.


Upon investigation 1t was found that the wages
OF all employees Of this branch OF business here
were so greatly in excess OF those paid Tor the
same work In New Jersey. New York State and
Baltimore-the other large glass manufacturing
centres-that 1t is matter OF wonder that 1t has
been possible to continue business here at all.
But now the wOrkmen manifest disposition to
submit to the terms proposed by the manuiac-
turers and the resumption OF window glass max
ing is a question OF but a lew weeks at furthest.


The un fortunate men who have been engaged in
this strike have been reduced to sucn a strait as
to make the renewal OF operations on their part
imperative. One hundred and twenty five dollars
month wages was rldiculed by them some months
ago, but will now be accepted.

The above named hall is situated in avenue A,

scandala Club were going to give masked ball
there last evening, commencing at eight O'Clock.
He seemed to feel very Indifferent as to the prob
ability Of his suffering any annoyance at the hands
OF the police authorities. On being questioned by
our reporter as to why he felt SO conf

permitted a smile to steal calmly over his blonde
countenance, at the same time stating, "Icb hdbe

This wellknown German club house was lighted
up last evening as brilliantly as on any gala night
during the most festive season. The downstairs
billiard and drinking saloons were crowded. and
no one seemed to care for the SUNDAY laws"' The
proprietor informed our reporter that 'he
also had seen the Captain,n and that it was
all right; he would not be bothered He
furthermore stated that he was the lessee Of the

up any balls; that the "Eichenkranz" Society had
possession OF the hall last evening, having leased

Plymouth Church and Mr.. Boecher.


1t will be seen from our reports this morn
ing that Mr.. Moulton refuses to say anything
further in relation to the important secrets in
his possession. This policy is mistaken one
and it will be proved so in the end, but it is
very broadly limited that it is part of COM
promise which has been patched up between
the parties by Plymouth church. Can Ply
mouth church afford any such trans
parent trickery of reconciliation as q
compromise between these men must appear2
We think not The day of compromises has
long passed for any of the parties to this un-
fortunate scandal Belief in Beecher's guilt
will be the result of failure to establish his
innocence. Even Plymouth church cannot
avert this verdict if there is now to be
cowardice and compromises; and rich and
powerful as is that congregation it will
share in the shame if it now becomes

THE HANDICAP RACE which took place yes

however, freshened, and q number of yachts

Year: 1874

The only lesson to be derived from the little
war of races now going on in Arkansas is that
pertaining to the high state of feeling which
must exist among the negroes to make such
an event possible The mere shooting Of a
negro child by white man is not sufficient
to account for it There must have been o
previous cause or a series of causes to incite
the blacks to make war upon the whites. The
negroes are not such q bloodthirsty race, nor
are they such an excitable and warlike people
as to rush to arms upon slight provocation.
We fear that when the truth comes to be
known it will be found that the blacks have
been suffering many wrongs at the hands of
the whites. The Southern people never
were prepared for the time when the
lion and the lamb shall lie down together,
and if there has been disposition
for war of races at Austin or
anywhere else we have no doubt that
the whites have done more to incite it than
the blocks. What we are in the habit Of call
ing the Anglo-Saxon race is composed Of
very gentle, generous, obliging people,
so long as they can have their own way in
everything; but the Anglo-Saxons, who in
the present instance. are everybody except
the blacks, are only too likely to destroy
whoever comes in their way, and then lay the
whole blame on their victims. We fear there
has been too much of this sort of thing going
on in the South. The negroes are entitled
to AN equal chance with the whites, and we
do not believe they are half so apt to violate
the laws by breaking the peace as the whites
They are ignorant it is true, and the men
who guide their political fortunes are mostly
corrupt They are unwise. feeble-minded,
easily misled, but they are not q race to work
out the preliminary conditions tor war be-
tween white and black Nothing would
arouse in them the spirit Of such war except
outrages inflicted upon them by the whites
At the same time, when they arm themselves
and break the peace, as they have just done
in Arkansas they must be punished; but we
need have little fear that they will not receive
as much punishment as they deserve-and
more.

to Congress in order to obtain law which

administration of the Marine Hospital service.
It appears from the petitions, which we
publish in another column, that great
abuses at one time existed in this
most useful institution. Some fears are
entertained Of return TO the old vicious
system, and hence the petitioners ask Congress
to pass law which will secure an honest ad-
ministration Of the hospital service. As the
funds are raised chiefly by direct tax on the
seamen it is only just that Congress should
secure them On honest and effective admins

strangely enough, the seamen have no control

his old comrade MacMahon became
morally responsible to France for the
carrying out of the substituted punishment


Bazaine, on his part was bound by every
principle of honor to do nothing which would
expose the man who had braved the public
opinion of France by saving o condemned
traitor from the merted punishment of his
crimes But the man who betrays his country
is not likely to be over-scrupulous about
betraying his friends, and, thinking only of
himself, Bazaine has left MacMahon to meet
the storm Of public reprobation which the
cable informs us was called up by the news of
the evasion. 1t would be difficult to over
estimate the influence that this episode is likely
to exercise on the public opinion of France.
Il is the severest blow the Marshalate

prove that the Bonapartist faction
is in active sympathy with treason and is

committed against the nation for the benefit

claims its intention to punish severely those
who aided Bazaine in his escape. But what
