champions of alniiiat every pugilistic en
counta—aa the trained bullies, supported
by the Carson League, to do the dirty work
o f the association, and defame the characters
of decent people. This is all done for the
sake of morality—feuds were raised, where
good feeling once prevailed—inexperienced
1 youth were called to the ;tin/cgs Mend,
aide by side vs ith the hardened and the de
praved—but it is all, all for morality, a mo
rality known, however, thank God, only to
the morbid modern reformer, who gloats
over the disgrace which he indicts on others,
and who cannot exist unless engaged in the
excitement of evil.
These allusions are called out, and arc
justly applieable to the tnala of those in
dicttd fur violating the liquor Jews. The
general complaint is not against the decision
of the court, but the runner in which the

By the decision of the Centre County
Court of Common Please; an agent becomes
responsible for all his actions while in his
employer's nervier--which decision will cer
tainly have a telattetw7 to place in jeopardy
rummy poor men who are now making' their
living in the service of others. To our uned
ucated mind this decision is an ansrnoly-7
and If we are not mistaken, we think that in
no other county In the State, has the agent
of a hotel keeper hero convicted, fined and.
imprisoned. During - the last court, bath
agent and proprietor fined hich must
be Inconsistent, according to the spirit of the
Law. If the law designed a general
applica
lion of its penalties, the domestics as well
as book-keepers and bar-tenders should be
indicted.
In every business that we recolielit, the
.head of the houie in responsible for the
actions of his subordinates. That this is
right, is evident from the fact, that those
who receive the credit and emoluments of
any trade, should also be repnlisible For itisq
risks and responsibilities. Agents On tail
roads; arc never arraigned for the damages
;wising from any accident which may occur—
and it is seridtim that they arc prosecuted,
unless this carelessness; is a. grossly appa
rent, that the example and not the punish
meet, is essential to an indictment. We
have never heard of a single conviction of an,
ageit, before we came to this county —and
humbly differing pith the learned and dig
tingnialiedittri.4 Who presides in this district,
we firmly believe that; if the action of the
court in this instance, was brought before
the supreme judges, the whole pieceedings
would be annulled.

During lasi' week, this gentleman w/ts

sion, before the Court of Quarter Sessions—
and, considering his arduous duties as Sec
retary of the Commonwealth, by eibibilf,4
all the energy for which he is celebrated, and
more than the talent for which be has ever
received credit. Mr. Cui tin is a man of
talent, and a lawyer of tact and sagacity.
In polities, there is between him and the
editors of tho IV/daimon, a chiumiwhich the
tenacity of opinion on both aides will neves

from discovering, admiring, and acknowledg

(carless independence of the devoted lawyer:
During his professional sojenm in Bellefonte,
Mr. 'Curtin more than excelled himself. Ilia

laws, aas ono of the ablest legal and
mental exissiitions that we have eft r listened
to for years, and it has been our privilege mid
pleasure to hear many of the distinguished
prints of Penneyh anis. It is no ordinary
motive which thus publicly induces us 'to
refer to Mr. Curtin---and we feel amt those
who ha* knoll n Min personally for years,
will acknosi ledge the juatite of the allusions
in this paragraph--and we aro also sure,
that his personal friend's throughout the
State will not be surprised to hear that
Andrew Curtin has not changed in honor,
nor deviated from a manly defence a those
rights which given us all a confidence in our
fellows.
