THE city o f Mount Vernon,. Indiana,
has adopted a novel and disreputable way
of repudiating its obligations. Tile New
ark Savings. Bank obtained judgment
against the city for $G5,00 and issued an
execution, but no property could be found
to satisfy it. The.next step• was to pro
cure a writ of mandamus compelling the
City Council to levy a special tax suffi
cient to pay the claim. To meet this
emergency the • COuncil,• sitting in special
session, accepted the resignation of its'
members, approved and signed the min
utes of the
_Meeting, and dissolved, leav
ing the place without any city government
whatever. This is a "new way to pay
old debts," but it will haidly suffice.
THE New York Democracy have got
into the Courts. The PolioeVommisilon
ers were cited to show cause before the
Supreme Court why a mandamus should
not issue_compelling them to appoint one
inspector of elections fronreach election
di - strict i in addition to the inspectors
already akivinted. In other . words, Tam
-finny claimed the • right to be represented
on the election hoard. The judgment of
the Court was di' favor of Tamrriany, de
ciding unanimously that the Police. Com
missioners weFaxnuid to appoint two in
spectors for each voting - precinct, selected
from the whole body of the Democratic
party, without regard to the claims of
rival factions ; butirutsmuch as they had
already appointed one inspector for each
precinct on the nomination of the Irving
Hall (anti-Tanimany) faction, they were
bound in justice to take the other inspec
tors from the list submitted by the repret
sentatives of tlse Tammany Democracy.

THIS YEAR OD EVERY YEAR

an "off year.", But where all progress
hinges upon'a lively interest in pub
lic affairs, as it c - ertainly.does in this
country, every year is the scene of
important.political i&emozpitrations.
Being a firm believer in the'pecessity
of party life, we hold tbat that party
best fits itself for emergencies.which
fights-fewest losing battles. The im
portance of having„ the best of a
skirmish is well, known among mili
tary men.
Let a suppose, then, thiq, we are
dealing with an army, d . that we
are living in a time of far. Let us
further suppose that a year ago there
was a brisk eampaieu; in which the
enettiy,was driven back fill along the
line and his strcintifolps captured.
What would a skillful General do
under such circumstances ? What
would be his exhortation to the army
and his command ? Would be, think
you, assemble his army and pass
word up-4tn4 down the lines that, as
last year. was a year of victoria, vig
ilance • and discipline would be re
laxed ? Would he say to his sulxir
dinates, "We showed - ourseives„. so
strong in the lath struggle that-lk
does not much matter it some of the
outposts won are suffered to fall into
the hands of the enemy ?" ~Would a
good General say to his army, "-It
does not matter whether the enemy
advances his lines to cover .lost
ground, because there is to be no
general engagement this year?"
.There is not a man so stupid in Penn
sylianis as to believe for a moment
that thomorale of an army could
,be preserved in that way. The law
of all conflict, whether armed or po
litica, is to hold every inch of vant
age ground. As in war there can be
no "off" year, so in political Strug
