The Maine Law Kil'ed tn Matne—Temper- ance Movements Elsewhere. The result of thc Maine election is the most severe blow that the temperance fanatics have yet experienced.

It cannot be said that the law has not had a fair trial in Maine, the State wherein it orl- ginated four yearsago. It has been thorough- ly tested, and found wanting. In Maine we have a positive result, and in other States we perceive signs of revolution no less flattering.

We give reports of two of the four races in this morning’s paper. The interest taken in the horse fn this coun- try seems to correspond with that manifested in avery other department of life; and his rearing and training receive as much attention as is paid to any other legitimate branch of trade. Nor is this to be wondered at when we consider the immense amount of capital in- vested, and the number of individuals de- pendent on the services of this useful ani- mal, In fact he is so interwoven with do- mestic life in this country, that hé may be re- garded as a “peculiar institution,” and quite indispensable.

The News. ‘A full report of the proceedings of @ meeting of the friends of temperance, held on Saturday even- img, is given in our Columns to-day. A sensible platform of temperance principles was agreed to, recommending the policy of moral snasion, and condemning all forms of coercive legislation. The fact that the Maine law of this State has proved a eompiete failure in every respect was unhesitatingly admitted by the orators of the meeting, and the arson League and Temperance Alliance were un- eparingly denounced. A thorough ve-organization ‘of the temperance party, on the basis of moral sua- sion end the enactment of a stringent license law, ig the object of the movement, of which the meet- ang of Saturday night is but the commencement ‘Messrs.

The letters of the nominees may be found elsewhere We give elsewhere some additional particulars respecting the rencontre on Saturday night, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, between Mr. 2. S. Dean, of Bal- timore, and Capt. Wright. At alate hour last night Capt Wright still lingered, but it was deemed ing porsible that he could live many hours. We publish this morning a report of the arga. ments of Mr. Field and Mr. Sickles in the case of James Gordon Bennett against Hdwerd P. Fry, on the motion to strike out the principal portions of the defendent’s answer, heard before Judge Bos worth, in the Superior Court, on Tuesday and Wednesday last. In another column will be found a communication tvom the Fire Marshal to M Wood, in reference %o the insurity of a dwelling house in West Seven- teenth street.

Too many vexed questions enter into the Massachusetis election for us to predict, safely, ils result; but we have no hesitation in saying that, could the liquor question be presented to the people of that State on its own merits, the end of the canvass would be the total route of the pro- hibitioni In our own State the law exists, but Is never executed. We occasionally hear of the prosecution of some poor German in the coun- try, for the odious offence of selling a glass of beer; and there have begn one or two cases in this city, where the courts have made such ter- rible leaks in the law that it cannot hold either rum or water. Public 9) n is de- ly against prohibition, In the meantime the temperance people are notidle. The ultra-Maine law party here is led by the Seward politicians, who care nothing about temperance, except as a m they can more easily humbug the p and keep the spoils in their own hand. Sewardites have coquetted with ho and managed last year to concil without offending the Astor Hous: lions, The number in Great Britain, according to the last census returns, was somewhere in the neighborhood of one million, There has been a progressive increase in the value of the horse for some twenty years past, and prices are now readily obtained for supe- rior animals that would have appeared in- credible to our ancestors half a century ago. Agricultural societies and horse shows have exerted a great influence on breeders and owners of horses—for, as every farmer who has a really valuable animal is sare of re- ceiving a premium of some description, it operates as an incentive to raising none hut the very best stock, particularly az the cost of yearing a fine horse is not greater than one of an inferior deseription, Even if the ff premium should not be obtained at an exhibi- tion, a horse commended by a committee at either a horse show or an agricultural fair, would bring a figure resmunerative and grati- fying to his owner. Perbaps no country can exhibit so versity in its stock of horses as the Unit States, We have levied contributions ont world.

It remained for the American horse Trustee to open the way, and show that if it could not be performed in Great Britain or on the Continent it could be accom- plished here—and that in right gallant style. This he did in 59 minutes and 35 1-2 seconds— thus establishing the superiority of ihe Ameri- can trotter for speed and endurance beyond all cavil. We have many more that can accom- plish the same feat. It 1s buta short time since we chronicled the unparalleled performance of one hundred miles in eight hours and fifty-six minutes, by aprivate nag; and now we observe the preliminaries of a great forty mile trot are being arranged, At short distances nothing has ever equalled the speed of Mac, Flora Temple, Lady Suffolk, and a host of other in- vincibles, whose rate of going varied from 2:25 to 2:30, mile heats, in the trot. Who has forgotten the gallant old Dutchman, who went three miles over the Beacon Course, on a hot summer day, in 7:32 1-2, or Lady Suffolk, who trotted two milesin 4:59? In fact, we scarcely know how fast our horses can be made to go. The best are generally found in the hands of private gentlemgn, who are averse to bringing them on the track. Latterly, race courses seem to have fallen into the hands of profes- sional gamblers; and, af a consequence, gentle- men who formerly patronized the turf have withdrawn, disgusted with the spert as it is now managed. It isto be hoped that the state of things which now disgraces the turf will not be long suffered to continue. Mvsrerpar Poxirics.—The various fractions of the old whig and democratic parties, now divided into every variety of shells and isms, are fairly at work preparing for the approach- ing municipal contest. But more than on any previous occasion the result is likely to be made subordinate to local interests, affecting entire districts of the city in common. For example: the whole northern portion of the city will require of every candidate for elec- tion to the city government a pledge to sup- press the murderous locomotives now permit- ted to run through a densely populated avenues within the city limits. A still larger geographical division of the city, embracing all the central and upper wards, on both rivers, will doubtless require every candidate to pledge himself in favor of the removal of the City Hall to the upper part of the island, whatever may have been bis previous party connections, and that new and commodious markets shall be established bigh up on the East and North rivers. The conviction seems to be among those who live up town, that all extensive and desirable public improvements on the island depend on the removal of the City Hall to some locality less beset by the corMpting influences which have so long festered in and contaminated everything about the Park, till at Jast there is no member of our city government who may not well be ashamed of the low estimate in which he is held by the public on account of his official title, what- ever it may be; but whether or not the mere removal of a stone building will a the sefence or integrity of a city father, is a mat- v of some doubt we should think. ¥t is to be feared that our municipal ment will never be able to attain that d of general cons tion among the people which is essential to its usefulness and autho: ity while it remains in ihe Park, hemmed in by the aceumulated corruptions of fifty years, and so remote from the observation of the sat mass of the people. It seems to be he- d that no new accommodations of any importance will be afforded to commerce the way of commodious piers and a system of well arranged storehouses along the North and Fast rivers, or that we can have large and convenient markets appropriately located c either side of the town, while the city govern- remains in its present sink of depravity and short-sighted selfishness, This we must say, is av curious theory, but it may be all govorn- ee in me! se considerations, whether fonnded on reason or not, will doubtless have a very effect upon our local elections, them, those interested think yal importance as in f timenls of the city.

Last Thursday was the first day of Tishry, the frst month in the Hebrew civil year. On that day every good Jew thoughout the world commemorated with appropri ate religious services the beginning of the new yeax. According to the traditions of the rabbis, it [# now just 5,016 years since that interesting event known as the creation of the world took place, and if we are to believe the prophecies ot other Jewish writers, in the year 6000. of tho Jewish calender, that is, in 384 years more, or ix 2289 according to the Christian era, that other -till more extraordinary event—the destruction of the world—will come to pass. As it is not likely that any of our readere will witness the eecurrence, we announce the prophecy for the expecial edification of those who will live in the year 2259, The Jewish ceclosinstical year begins in the month of Nesson. This was because of the command of God to Moses, a» velated in Numbers:—‘‘This month shall be unto you the beginning of months ; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” ‘This was so ordered om ac- count of the departure of the Jews from the land of Egypt during that month, The first day of the Hebrew new year ts not, es with us, 8 season of feasting and rejoicing, but rather of profound religious observance and penitence. Some of the strang- est rites in the Mosaic ritual are performed in the syna- gogues, and@mong others the blowing of trumpets made of ram’s horns, which, to a stranger, has an odd and gro- tesque effect, and suggests anything but reverend and pious emotions; yet to the Hebrew it is of groat interest, ax it typifies to him the offered sacrifice of Abraham to God of his son Isaac, when the Lord accepted instead the burnt offering of a ram newly slain as a sufficient sin. offering on the part of Abraham, It also suggest, and indeed a past of the ceremony represents, the miraculous falling of the walls of Jericho, caused by the blowing ot’ trumpets at the command of the Most High. ‘This ceremony is ordered in the 27th chapter of Num- ers, as follows:— % And in the seventh month, on the first day of the / month, ye we an holy conversation; ye shall do no servile work: Weise day of blowing the trumpets unto you, and ye shail offer a burnt offering for a swoet, favor unto the ord, one bullock, one ram, and seven lambs, of the frst year; and thelr meat offering shal! be of flour mingled with oil, three-tenths for a bullock, and two» tenths for a ram, and one-tenth for a lamb, throughout the seven lambs; and one kid of the goats for a sin offer- ing to make atonement for you; bestdes the burnt offer. ings 0: the month, ‘and bis meat . and their drink offerings, according to their manner, for a sweet: favor, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord. From the first day of Tishry to the tenth there are oc- casional ceremonies performed, and every day the prayer known + the Yawley Wy-Yoovaw is said, They are called days of penitence, and the tenth day is the day of expiation, and among the Jews it is known as the Great: Day—the day of atonement. In the language of Sexip ture, “It is to be observed, throughout your generations, through all your dwellings.” On that day « strict fast must he observed, and no servile work done. An hum. ble anda contrite heart, a profound consciousness sin, and a generally uncomfortable state of mind must be: the portion ofall good Jews on that day; for he that shalt not afilict hls son! during the day of expintion ‘ shall be cut off for ever trom among his people.” “It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and yo shall aifiiet your souls; on the ninth day of the month at even, from eveir unto even, shal! ye celebrate your Sabbath.?? On the tifteenth of the month Tishry commiences the feast of the Tabernecles, which continues eight days, the first day of which is a Sabbath and the last day a Sabbath. The feast of the Tabernacle is a season of rejoicing, off mirth, and of feasting. In commemoration of the wan dering of the Children of Israel in the willerness, huts are built in the yards and gardens, in which the Hebrew lives during the eight days. These habiiationa are adorned with flowers and the branches of trees, in com- - pliance with the divine injunction, ‘Ye shall take unto you on the first day the fruit of goodly treea (which in the citron.) branches of palm trees, (i. ¢, date trees) an’ Dough of thivi trees, (which is the myrtle) and willows of the Lrock, and ye shall rejoice before your God seven days”? suiminer time the Jows (and the same may be he Christians) have no season set apart for re- but when fall comes, and earth bears abundantly of fruit and flower, and golden grain, then does the Hebrew send up his offerings of praise and p: 4, and fruit offerings, and dvink offerings iver of AllGood. This is the season of the in gathering of the fruits of the earth, and with harp and duleim with flute and soft recorder, sings the Hebrew * yore, the Psalins of David and the sweet songs on appropriateness in all the requireueats of ‘tual that is highly suggestive, he Passover in spring, with its offerings of th: of the earth, and the firstlings of the flock, and hailing with pans and songs of joy the opening year, the season of seed tim spring, and of hope. And then, when fall comes and the earth yields up her golden stores, the of the Tabernacle typifyes to the Hebrew a proper os is relation to his Creator and Gol. This time i+ designated “the feast of the ingathertng, which fs in thoend of the year, when thou hast gath di thy labors of the field.” remarkable that these people observe these cere such tenacity.
