J From information received at this office, it is apparent that the provisions of the 59th section of tho act of June 30.1864, as amended March 3, ISO. 1 ), in relation t,o the purchase and sale of emp ty casks with the inspection marks there on, are very often disregarded. Hy these provisions of the law a pen alty of three hundred dollars is imposed , for the purchase or sale of each cask so marked. The object of the law is to prohibit the traffic. The penalty is severe, and intentionally so. Both parties to the I contract of sale ire liable. If tbe vendor 1 peimitK the empty cask to pass out of his hands without removing tho inspection marks, lie is liable to the penalty. If tho I 1 purchaser receives the casks with the in- j i spection marks thereon, he also is subject j to the penalty. » ! j If there is a purchase or sale of an | : empty spirit cask with tho inspection j 1 marks thereon, the intent is immaterial— I or rather, the proof of the offense is con- ' I elusive as td the intent. ! The sjiecial attention of all officers of | internal rcven ye i» called to thjs matter, i and they are hereby instructed to cause j prosecutions to be commenced tor all vio- j J Utious of tliis provision of the law which ' may come to their knowledge, and to'see that the law is strictly enforced in this behalf. > .

Thus far wo have rcfritineil from say ing anything in reference to tho grave responsibilities that will devolve upon this holy. The constitutional, provision which restrains the people from fleeting one citizen, for a longer period than six years in any period of nine, prevents us from longer retaining tha services of our present chief-magistrate. Tho choice of his successor is, therefore, one of great importance. Look ins at tho great inter- ! csts involved, both as to the success and stability of our party —which is the party of tho Union—and as to the perpetuity of the Unijn itself, we* feel constrained to lay aside all local feelings and interests, and give in our adhraion to the name which, from our stand point, seems to givo flie greatest assurance of safety and success. It w natural and frequently right that we should the claims of! neighbors, or those whose location would K eem to lay claims to sympathy. But, at present, duty requires that we should de clare in favor of that name, which, while ; it is equal in other respects, has pre-em inent claims upon the confidence and sup ! port of the entire people of the Common- I wealth. We refer to the name of lion. W. W. Ketehum, of Luzerne. Wxs re gard with consideration thupracticle tal ! ent of Gen. Moorhead, as wo do aUothat i of Gen. Ifnrry White, to say nothing of I hit sacrifices and sufferings in behalf of 1 tho Union. But thot-c distinguished I citizens arc well cmpMyed where they : are. Neither, in our opinion, could our , voiee, or the voice of our county, be po. ! tent in their elevation. In it not better, then, for us at once to throw our voice 1 and our votes in the interest of one whose : nomination will at onoe secure tnccess? This', wc feel safe in saying, can best be done by declaring jn favor of Senator 1 Ketehum. Coming as he does, fVom a sec j tioo where serving in the Union cauifcis no "Snnduy service," —frtnii Luzerne, wliere our rotcra have, not unfrequently, to reach (ho polls.uuder (C shower of stones »nd brickbats, and through hostile "lines" Jfedged with ''shelpnehs" tfefre need bo no fears but that he will stand firo ; that he will be faithful to the of justice and unibn whicfi ferotiglit tnl Re publican party into power, and which will retain it there so long as it is true to it- Belf. Senator Clymer of Berks will, in all probability, be the Democratic nomi nee. Should this be the c-ase, it seems most fitting that Kctchuin should bo pit ted against him. They have stood up, fa cing each other in the Senate as the lea ders of their respective parties. Nor ha 9 any man in the State, a nobler record as a man of purity, of patriotism, or abil ity, than Senator Ketchum. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that we observe his prospects brightening, as the canvass qdvanees. ITc will carry his own section with a unanimity seldom wit nessed in the interest of any candidate. And not only so, but the west so far ns an expression has been given, has been most encouraging. The Washington /{'publican heartily endorse him. and urges his nomination ; go does the Heaver Arrjut. Others would doubtless do no, were it not for local candidates. These difficulties will finally give way; after which we hope to see a unitod voice in behalf of a tried and true leader in the approaching political campaign.— Such a consumatior. we can secure in the person of lion.

Wo are here presented with an excel lent- exposition of one of the highly in structive, bot, to most readers, ouo oPtlie very difficult Hooks of the Old Testament. In i)r. Young's hand it becomes plain, edifying, ami practical—such a manifes tation of life-wisdom as wo might expect from a writer of Solomon's endowments and experience. According to Df. Young, the l?ook of Kcclesiastes is one ol Solamon's Sermons —a preserved written discourse of one who, if not the orst ''Preacher," was the wises? of all the preachers who precodcd John the Baptist. This sermon is about the length of an ordinary modern dis course. Its "editor"— a different person froju Solomon—gives to it an introduc tion—the Ist nod 2d verses of the first chapter—and a conclusion —the last sev en verses of the twelfth chaptftT. The third verse oftho first chapter is tho be ginning cf the sermon, and announces the Preacher's theme; or as wo might say : "What profit hath a man of all his labor which ho taketh under' tho HUji 112" That is, what profit, if there is 110 future state of being t Here is the key which unlocks the chest and reveals the treasures. This is the-key every one must have, and use, who would explore the riches of this Store - house of wisdom and knowledge. If tltc soul is not, im mortal, why labor and toil ? If thore is no futuie, why deny yourself now of the joys of *en»c, or of anything your heart' craves ? And if the soul is immortal, why"soek for it a portion here below?— Nothing here can satisfy an immortal spirit. The whole discourse)—all its wis dom, ami .prudence, and warnings, and counsels—implies a future state of exis tence where the soul of man has its re wards; a state which alone is adapted to the soul's nature and where, and only whore, the soul can havo things affording to it fiillnoss and joy. This Commentary is exceedingly read able. It is well gotten up by the Jloard, and it will, we trust, bo introduced into many thousands of families. SPECIAITNOTICE.
