get away from everybody? Does any little thing
make you start or Jump? Is your slee.) broken or

have but little appetite, and you attribute this to
dyspepsia or liver complaint?
Did you ever think that those bold, defi

THE KKmSTKY LAW A(3A1N.
The Status of Lodgers in Private
Boarding-Houses A Decision
by the Court of Com
mon Pleas.
Ou Tuesday last we noted the application
made by John (J. Smith, a native of this Ntato,
and a resident of this city for twenty-seven
ytars, for a mandamus against the assessors of
"the Fifth ward compellim; them to assess him
ns a iirivate resident, according to tho new
lieilisliy law, which wiis opposed on the ground
that, though the house in which he lived, noittli
cast corner of Fourth and Spruce street, was a
private boarding-house, yet the, lower story of
it was used as a tavern, which circumstance de
prived him of the right to be placed upon this
list. The (tiestiou was argued by Mr .Sellers
lor the petitioner and Mr. llropsic lor the asses
sors, and J mluc Hrcwster, having been enabled
to consult only Judge Allison, who concurred
In his views, this morning delivered the follow
ing opinion:

OPINION BY .ICIIliK IIKKVVSTKIt.
This Is an application tor an alternative manda
mus. Regularly, the writ should Issue and the de
fendants demur, plead, or answer. Counsel have,
however, argued it an if a demurrer had been tiled,
and as they are aa.xious for a speedy decision, we
have considered the question without regard to the
form in which It has been presented.
The relator avers that he is a citizen, that he
boards and lodges with Joseph Garwood, at the
southeast corner of Fourth and Spruce streets, and
tlia'. the assessors have refused to Insert his name
on the division transcript because the lower story of
1 lie hoarding-house is occupied as a tavern, which,
It is alleged, is not connected in any way with the
rest of the building, lie therefore claims that he is
a "private resident, actually resitting with a private
housekeeper," anil as such clearly entitled to regis
tration under the second clause ol the twenty-seventh
section of tin; act approved April IT, lsiW, commonly
called the Registry law.
Tin; relator lurther argues that he is not within the
prohibition of the third clause of said section which
excludes from registration the persons "hoarding
at. any hotel, tavern, sai.ors' boarding-house,
or restaurant.'' It Is evident that the question
presented is of great practical importance in the
execution of this law, for if we hold that a man re
siding in a private boarding-house cannot tic placed
upon the division transcript, we shall certainly sub
ject n very numerous and respeclaole class ol citi
zens to serious inconvenience. I do not see why
the proprietor of a private boarding-house is not a
private housekeeper. Shall we say that the house
is not private because the head of the family boards
his son. ami If taking a relative to board does not
change the character of u private house, is it aro-cted
by receiving a stranger as a lodger? It will hardly be
contended that it is any the less a private
house because It contains one such person;
mill the moment that is admitted there is an end of
this diltlcultv. lor we cannot thaw the line and sav
one, two, or six persons may lodge in a house anil it
Sllll lie prita'e, nut mm uic nioiiieiii, n. receives
seven it becomes a public houst;. The true distinc
tion Is perfectly web understood. The public house
Is for the entertainment of all who come la wfully ami
pay regularly. The boarding-house is for the accom
modation oiily of those who art; accepted us trm-sts
by the proprietor. Such an establishment Is as much
a private house as if t here were no hoarders. The
learned draftsman of this statute evidently so
thought, for the boarding-house included ny the third
clause is tne sailors noiiming-iiousc. vnner oourti-
ii g-houses are untouched ny ine proamnion.
It seems to be very clear that when the Legislature
excluded only the residents of sailors' boarding
houses, they dltl not Intend to interfere with tin;
occupants of other boarding-houses. I do not refer
ill I n IS Ct-'IlllCCIlllll lO I ne noici, 1,1 vei n. or reniuuruui,
for though each of these places may be used as
lodging places, they nre not known to the public,
nor are they treated in the statute, as boarding-
nouses.
The maxims "Kxpressio uimis est exciuslo alte-
rius," "l'.xpresmm iacit cessare tacit am," though
generally applied to deeds and instruments of
writing, are yei. einpiojcu m im- consn uci,oii m
statutes. See Atkinson vs. Fell (.' Maule A Kd.. litO).
King vs. Hell, T. F. H., tiOO. King vs. Cunningham.
h Fast., iV. ,
In the argument oi King vs. vv oiiiuaim, -t r.asi. n.:,
the Attorncv-Gcueral, Law, and Mr. Kaincock
ii creed that the mention of coal mines in the statute
tl 4:1 Eli, c. 2, was in exclusion of all other mines,
and this was repeated o .nr. .nisnce (nose
It would seem, therefore, that ill boarding-houses
are not excluded by the prohibitory clause of the
Slth section of this act,
The next question is, whether the presence or a
tavern, although "it is not connected in any way
with the rest of tho building," brings the occupant
of the boarding-house within the prohibition which
forbids the assctsors from placing on the list "the
name of any person boarding at any hotel, tavern
sailors' bearding houst!, or restaurant."
According to the petition, which Is uncontradicted
this relator does not board at any place named in
the clause just quoted. J he law does not say lha,
no person shall be asscsed who resides in a build
ii.g any part of which shall be occupied asa tavern,
but to' be excluded from the list he must actually
board at some or the places mentioned. It is very
ti ue that the law was designed to guard the ballot-
box from the frauds pmclised by persons who
board or pretend to board at such establishments
11 'id that if we nllow the tavern-keeper to keep a
I oai ding-house above his bar-room in the name of a
I crson merely used as a cover, we may virtually
1 ulliiy Hie law, lor an 1110 ooui iieis 111 iiiaiesm
1 lisliment will claim to be placed on the list.
But we must of course lie governed by I he words
ol the statute ami the facts of each ease as it comes
before us. If it were alleged that this tavern was
connected with the boarding-house in any way the
relator would occupy a different position. Here there
is no allegation against the htma fide of the keeper of
the tavern, the proprietor of the boarding-house, or
the relator. We have nothfngtolook at but the peti
tion. It alleges, as already seen, a case within the
In w, and we cannot decide to the contrary upon mere
Hu-picioii unsuslained by even allegation.
U e do not deem il all objection to the petition that
the relator omits to allege that his boarding house is
not u sailors' hoarding-house. This, as already seen,
is a matter of defense for the respondents, and
although every Intendment is against the pleader In
the statement of his title, Mill he is never required
to unlit ipnle matti r of defense.
"The rule Is." said Air. Justice Ashurst in Spiers vs.
Parker (1 T. K. 14f), 'that any man who will bring
an action for a penult v on an act ol' Parliament must
show himself entitled under Die enacting clause;
hut if there be a subsequent exemption, that is a
matter ol deft use, and the other party must show it
to ext mni himself from tho penalty."
1 pen the points originally argued by counsel we
are therefore of opinio:-! that the case is with the re
lator, but there are tllillculties in his way, which
were suggested upon the motion and which have
not been dispelled by the aigumeutor by subsequent
reflection.
The 'islh section of the law requires the assessors
to holt! live other meetings, and at any one of tin sis
sessions tin-relator can present himself, and upon
making the altidavlt and submitting the proof rt
iiuirt 1 he can secure the inseition of his name upon
tht! extra assessment.
So, too, under the ill si section, upon due proof that
hiselaim is well founded, Hie relator can secure the
entry or his name upon the canvassers' list. The
Insertion of his name upon any one ol these tran
scripts secures all his rights, tor the ilual register is
made up of all the lists combined-
lie bus, thcivbue, two remedies provided by this
very statute, untl failing in both he may then pos
sibly have the right to a mandamus. . ...
That the existence of another remedy Is fatal to
the present application must be very evident irom
even a slight examination of the authorities. In
Com. vs. St. Mary's Church 2 lllun. H60) Mr. Justice
Veates eollectetl'the English cases to that date ami
deduced therefrom the following rules:
1st. That In order to secure the writer mandamus,
there must be a specific legal right ; ami
Sd. That there must acewmnany this the want or a
speclUc legal remedy. Ho added that "it Is an in
superable obstacle to this application that the law
has provided for Mr. Corkrin an adquate remedy."
The same rule has been applied 111 Hex vs. Cus
toms Commissioners (B Ad. A KI1.. 8MI); Hex vs.
Customs (UNevill & Manning, 828) ; ; Hex vs. Kr e 2

CONIIITION Ol' Til K 110 ATS.
Thursday morning the Jacket was taken oirof the
Kliot shell, and the workman ol L. H. C. has put on
a coat of French polish, and now that it Is done slu
ts perfectly beautiful. Mo one could look at, her
for moment without expressing his admiration. Her
bearings art; perfect, and everything ul t her ts a
model. The Fngllsh gentlemen who have seen her
pronounce her the most beautiful thing they have
ever seen, ami Mr. Searle, whose name Is familiar to
those acquainted with boating matters as the
"starter" In the I tilvcrslty races, himself a boat
builder, yesterday pronounced her as good 11 boat us
tan he built; aud this, coming from a gentleman
whose object in coining to Putney was to sell the
crew a boat, Is no slight compliment.
KNOI.ISII BOATS.
The Fngllsh limits diil'cr lrom ours In sonic pur
t.eiilars, which the race is likely to decide. W hile
we have been lengthening our boats so that a four
oar Is over fifty feet long, they have been shortening,
m that theirs Is only axout lorl,v-l wo feet. Then,
too, the Fngllsh boats are built more In the form of
h semi-circle amidships, while ours, by being more
flattened, we believe have greater currying power.
'I hey seem to be a little Inconsistent in the matter of
leiig'th of boats, for they have longer anil liner single
sculls than we have at home; and why, If it is better
lor these to be carried out to the true point of the
bearings, is it not equally good for the four oars'.'
our boats undeVweigh theirs considerably, and our
rudder-gear Is decidedly better. They Expressed
their surprise at the length of our rudders, they
bell g about three times as long us their own. This,
of course, is necessary in turning a stake, but. in a
straight race it. is likely to be equally ad aiitageons,
lor the boat gels charge of direction' with less resist
ance to the water Willi a long rudder than with a
Hmrt one, which has to be jimmied hard down. Iliir
ihe child liillerchce is the length of boms, ami If we
are wrong in our Ideas it will be soon apparent; bur,
as the shell lies ill the house now, slit! quittf jusi jiji-n

DKSCHIITION HP Till' ( OI'liSK.
Whatever our notions were as lo the uselessness
ofacoxswain heroic arriving Hi Putney, one pull
over the course dispelled them, and convinced nil
that a coxswain was uu absolute necessity ; lor even
could the river be cleared id bouts on Hie race day,
it would tit! impossible to practise beforehand, the
river being so lull of steamers ami barges at this
place, and he would be a remarkable bow oar who
could learn the course and keep it so as not to lose
anything, even ir he rowed it every day for months.
(in the day of the race, however, all trailic is to bo
suspended tor two hours, ami the track kept clear,
and everything is to be done to Insure lair play. The
tide runs even stronger than was expected, and is of
immense assistance, and readily explains the quick
lime made by crews over this course.
THE CONTKSTANTS
Of course, little judgment can be formed as to suc
cess in tin; race. The Oxford men are hard at work
about Ulteen miles further up the river, and though
they tell us that such a one Is nothing more than a
"lat boy" In Pickwick, and another can't pull his
weight, each believes as much as ho pleases, and
grinds away at his work as hard ns ever. The men
have made a very fav-irable impression on those who
have seen them. 'You're a good lot," say thev,
and if you can row as well as you look, you have u
great chance to w in." Nothing us yet has been de
teimined as to the time. The men are rapidly get
ting Into gootl form, though they have not yet been
out together in the boat. They get their work, how
ever, and training diet, but they will probably not
begin their regular pulling till tie , are selt'ied in
their house, which they take possession or on Moil
day next.

Tht! crew was the object, of much curious attention,

evidently amazed at tl"; lightness and elegance of
the boats. "Most extraordinary," said one. '"Could

row in those things, yo' kuo !" "No style to them,'
said another. The boats were quite as much lionized

A very general remark in Putney among oarsmen

The leading Democrat it; journal of New York takes
the opportunity, in commenting on the recent lire in
this ciiy, to pilch into and lav out the governmental
administration and its "minions" in most -unmerited
tciins. This is the way il speaks:
The destruction by lire 01 the United States bonded
warehouse in Philadelphia, containing 4ii,nnu barrels
o! whisky and other goods valued ut ten or eleven
millions or dollars, entails upon several ilrnis in that
city immense losses. In New N ork, as well as in
Philadelphia, the most tlesiructivc fires which have
occurred during the lust two years have had their
origin in bonded warehouses, and lu almost, every
instance it appears that, the fire resulted
In ni careless or incompetent supervision, such as
would not lie tolerated bv any private business lirm
in the management of its own interests. "The
immense weight or whisky stored in the south end
ol' the building, directly over ihe engine-room," says
uic account ol the Philadelphia disaster, "caused
Uic upper part of the building to give way, thus let
ling the whisky down into the engine-room, loan
instant Hie lire spread through all the six stories."
A risk so palpable might easily have been foreseen,
and would never have been incurred by
a superintendent conscious of jealous watchful
ness and devoted to the Interests of his superiors.
Hut in this instance the deputy was a I nited Slates
eillcial, responsible only lo a political administration
which puts its pels In i illce. not for the interests of
tin; people, but of ihe party. When an oillclal re
eeln s an appointment with: "Slick there, friend, till

si lllt d, regardless of anything more than the mere
leiiii ol his duly. And thus IL comes about thai mer
chants' goods m bonded warehouses, like the peo
ple's lights and inleresis generally, aro no safer In
the careless clutch of this government than if they
were legally subject to conllsealion. Aslo the loss

ting last night as to the eff ect of the anticipated
refusal of Kosecraus to accept the nomination.
They assert that a recent convert to Democracy,
Isa candidate for Representative from Franklin
county, and who claims the credit of Kosecrans'
nomination, will be left in an embarrassing pre
dicament, as he gave his Democratic friends
assurance, at the time of the 7th of July conven
tion, that hitters had been received from Kose
craus which in effect authorized the use of his
name. I'roiuineut Democrats express them
selves satisfied that Kosecraus will not accept.
Kepublieans express the apprehension that
after all Kosecrans will refuse to be a candidate.
On the other hand, it is asserted by Democrats
that a delegation of army officers have gone
from Washington in the interest of the radicals
to induce Kosecrans not to accept. Owing to
the prevailing dissatisfaction in regard to the
regular Democratic nominees for the Legislature
in this county, it seems probable that opposition
will be concentrated on an independent ticket.
Hon. Samuel Galloway and Peter Ambrose are
prominently mentioned In this connection as
representatives. Captain Kayde is spoken of ns
an independent candidate for Treasurer. He
is n strong man, and would make a good officer.

proposed to take tho establishment together, the

termanded all orders given by Lingard, and tho
latter returned the compliment, when the former
closed the theatre without any ceremony, and
put a keeper in. The result Is that tho breaking
of tho contract throws the theatre into tho hands

We notice to-day a brisk demand for currency,
chiefly from merchants and business men, which is
a good feature Invariably, especially when money is
in good supply. The rates, under all the circum
stances, cannot be complained of. The supply at the
banks Is not very ample, though steadily increasing,
whilst capital is In good requisition for the purposes
of business. With these leading features of the
market, (I per cent, on call loans, with good collate
rals. Is reasonable, and these terms now rulo at the
bank counters. The absence of any speculative de
mand is the real cause of this, rather than an ample
supply of funds. Prime mercantile paper Is taken in
moderate amuunts by the banks at T per cent., but
outside rates between 7ta 9 per cent.
Gold opened strong ami continued firm up to noon.

THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
The following extract show the state of tho New
York money market yesterday :
From the Herald.
"With the exception of the stock market, which
exhibited moderate animation, the markets in Wall
street to-day were exceedingly dull ami devoid of
Interest. Money continues lo be in free supply, with
more oil'erlngs on Governments than there Is any
call for eveti at as low a figure as live per cent., the
ruling rate on gootl collaterals being six icr cent.
Discounts continue to range lietvvecn seven and lilno
per cent, wllh Hie bulk of business between these
tiynies.
"Gold opened at 136?,,', advanced to l.'SOj, reacted
to 136 shortly alter noon, recovering; soon, however,
to 1.111', , at which figure it remained steady up to the
adjournment of the board, In an exceedingly quiet
market. Subsequently, upon the statement of en
gagements having been made for heavy shipments of
specie to-morrow, amounting, it is said, to $464,000.
there was a shade more activity, ami the price rallied
to 130,1,, , at which llgure, a stolid at. the close ol busi
ness. The disbursements of com interest to-day
amount to f74,246.
"From 6'.. too.v.e. per cent were paid for carry
ing In line clearing House time, and subsequently 4
per cent.
"Foreign exchange is tinner upon a less supply
of eemiiiereiiil bills ninl additional caution in ac
cepting those otlrred, conse que nt upon tho recent
failure. Prime bankers', sixty days, has advanced
to 110',,.
"The Government market was quiet throughout
the day, with light oilerlngs, anil a practical decline
in prices, referrable principally to this dullness. Pro
minent houses report a continued inquiry for cur
rency sixes, with oilers to exchange Five-twenties
lor these bonds, A leading query ln an evening
paper recently In regard to ihe amount of first mort
gage bonds Issued by the', Paciltc Railroad
companies under that clause of the new
law authorizing such Issue, which
empowered them to "Issue, respectively, their
bonds to the extent of one hundred miles in advance
of a continuous completed line of construction,' lias
called forth a curd in 111 the llnancia! agents of the
Central Paelilc road. It Is therein stated, in regard
to that read, ' Hint 110 such bonds have been Issued
In advance of the completed line of their road,'
and, further, 'that. the. aggregato of lirst mort
gage bonds issued is less than the amount,
authorized under the law, and less than the
amount of Government six percent, bonds Issued to
them. When the loan was withdrawn from the
Market in April last the company had on hand, and
still have, a large amount, of bonds unsold.' Im
portations by 1 01 clgn banker of small amounts of
ten-lorties und sis uie reported, the former pro
bably induced by the oiler of the Secretary to ex
change for ilvc-twetiiies. At 6 o'clock the market
clobcd steady.''
