LOCAL option in toe supreme
COURT.
Judge Agnew, on the 17th inst.,
delivered the opinionof the majori
ty of the Supreme Court in the Lo
cal Option cases arising under the
act of May 3d, 1871, permitting
the citkens of the: Twenty-Second
ward of Philadelphia to vote for or
against, license. ‘ The majority of
the Court decide the' Local Option
law to he, constitutional %nd valid,
'Chief J ustices llead and Sharswood
dissenting therefrom. The point
raised against the constitutionality
of the law was, that the Legislature
being the law-making power had no
authority to delegate the power to
the majority of the people, and that
it had done so in the act above
mentioned; but the majority htid
that the act did not do this,; that it
was simply a law, prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors in the
Twenty-second Ward in Philadel
phia, providing penalties for any
transgression of its requirements,
aod complete and perfect when, ap
proved by the Governor; that It was
like an act which left to the electors 5
of a city whether or not salacity
should .subscribe td ! the stock of a
railroad company, or similar to a
law providing for the majority of
the people in cities to decide for or
against consolidation of the same ;
that the vote of the people did not
make the law, or give any force to
any prohibition or create any penal
alties, but merely expressed the
sentiments and wishes of the peo
ple, and determined nothing but the
.expediency of the measure. The
law was perfect when submitted to
the people and the vote was created
by the law. and not the law by the
vote,, and was a means of ascer
taining the utility or advisability of
the law, and as each a legitimate
aid. If the Legislature had bad
the required information before the
act was passed, there would have
been no need of providing for a
.vote of the people; but the vote
was simply a means of information
and. nothing more. If the Legisla
ture were prevented from resting a
law rupop future contingency, it
would be robbed of the power to
act wisely and WelLfor the best in
terests of the people. While the ■
Legislature must make .the daw it
may pbWerio Ascertain
some particular , information, upon
which the action and utility of the
law is to depend.
The dissenting lodges held, on
the contrary, that the distinction
drawn between the act. of the Leg
islature and the vote of the majori
ty, in the case, was not sound, and
that the Local Option act was a
real delegation by the Assembly of
the law-making power to the peo
ple, since the law Was not a law un
til the people had voted it into be
ing; that the Legislature suggested
a law to the. people, and 1 made its
being a law depend on, a power that
had no authority to make a law;
that the Legislature would have
just as much right to pass a free
liquor law, 6r any other law, mak
ing its action contingent upon the
wishes o( ,the minority, instead of
‘ the majority ; that is, if prohibition
ckn.be dependent upon the vote of
the majority, why may not the
same power change the contingency
- to the wishes of the minority. The
knotty question in the case is that
of whether or not the law making
power was actually delegated to;
the people, and although v the ques
tion is settled? in favor of the
stitutionality of the Local Option
act, yet the disagreement of j the
learned Judges is such as to pro
duce sorne confusion in the common
mind, and the opinion of the diesent
ing Judgee,though happily not law,
will yet afford some consolation to
those who dislike anti-license laws.
WHAT NEXT ?
The vote under .the Local Option
law in the county is light, but shows
s a large majority against license ;
thus the question is settled for the
unit three years. A large majority
of the people, without any excite
ment, but calmly, deliberately have
declared that the liquor traffic must
oeaie in the county, and all goot
citUeus will submit Xq this, decision.
All classes of citizens compose this
majority; not alone the temperate
but the moderate drinker; not alone
the church the world
ling—all have joined in this move
ment to rid the community of what
was clearly Seen to be a great evil
—licensed liqadr-sfelling.
The change in public opinion has
taken place so quickly, and. to
an extent, that the results of it are
simply astonishing, not only in this
county, where the reformation has
exceed ad all .prudent expectations,
bet also throughout the State. Hav
rag 'Stormed - 1
courage and un
flinching determination see that the
law is obeyed or the penalties cof
fered in case of infringement!; pro
hibition will become a dead letter,
and thb temperance cause will re
ceive, as in New York a few years
ago, irreparable injury from tbe
fact that the first trial to legislate
drnnkenness out of existence proved
since liquor men would
then, say, “we told you so;
can never cure moral evils by leg
islation.”
The virtue of law depends
upon public opinion. Many laws
are dead letters because there
is no public opinion to enforce tbem.
The anti-license law will disappoint
its friends unless it is vigorously
put in force and made a law indeed,
as well as in name. More depends
on anti-license men for : the next
three years than ever before. Let
anti-license have a fair trial, and
then, if found to work well, how
easy, to hold fast that which is good;
but, if bad, discard it for something
better.
Let the experiment be made in
good faith and under the mos t fa
vorable conditions, and then, at the
end of three years, see with what
result.
Toe reductions to the Appropria
tion bill made in the Senate will
meet with general approval, and the
Senate Finance Committee deserve
the thanks of the people for pruning
so the rank appropria
tions of the House.
The people demand retrenchment
and economy, and will frown upon
any measure that .even has the least
appearance of extravagance about it.
Governor Hartranft is receiving the
praise of even his opponents for the
wisdom mid courage he has display
ed in guarding the public funds,
llis veto of the Somerset Relief
wasprudent and right, and is nearly
universally sustained by the press of
the State. Our Governor is making
a splendid record, which commands
the admiration of his political oppo
nents, and stirs up the old love and
enthusiasm of his friends.
The President, in accordance
with the rules of the Civil Service,
has promoted Judge Richardson,
Assistant Secretary, to the the po
sition of Secretary, made vacant
by- the election of Mr. Bout
well, by the Massachusetts Legisla
ture, to Um United States Senate.
Judge Richardson now understands
the duties of the office, and his ap
pointment means, doubtless, that
the President will stand by Civil
Service Reform, but especially in
tends to inaugurate no sudden
change of policy in regard to the
management of the finances of the
country. - ,-t

The resignation of Senator Cald
well, of Kansas, of his seat im the
United States Senate, will produce
the conviction that he is guilty of
the charges of bribery made against
him; that he did purchase the seat
which he has just vacated, and only
resigned to escape expulsion. He
does not at present occupy £ very
enviable position, and the testimony,
gathered in the investigation of, his
case, ought to cover hini with ever
lasting infamy. Shall a seat in the.
most worthy and dignified body of
the United States be purchased ip,
the market? Shall ability and faith
ful service he counted of .less value
than afew paltry greenbacks? Shall
men of mediocre talents, because of
wealth, exclude positions of
trust and responsibility those who.
are fitted, by endowment and educa-
to render useful service ? The
questions carry their own answers.
Some remedy must he , found to pre
vent bribery in Senatorial.elections.
What shall it be ?

Vice President, Speaker, and mem
bers of the Cabinet, $10,000; Sena

own salaries, does not bear investi

administration. He is commended by al
most the entire press of the Stqtp'lh the

praises him as strongly, sis it ftwjfesrlyj
condemned him* and ftankly admitV lhej

between the two Houses will be adjusted
The Senate sustained the Committee it
striking out all increase of salaries, and
with few exceptions, all the local char!
ties. The Philadelphians succeeded in get
ting the appropriations to the hospitals]
connected with the University and Jeffer j
eon College, under the promise of mainj
tain ing one hundred free beds each foi
patients from all parts'of the State. Wbil
it is true hospitals are needed, and man;

yet it is equally true iliV appropriation

of the State is .to contribute only to be

on and endeavor to pass ft Ihh

changes wUlbe made by tbe Senate Com
mittee. Butler will be stricken off of
your district and Lawrence added. Wberis
Butler will go finally is not yet det«rmiif
ed, bat most likely i with Heictrnhd Y<

forcLOne of the great difficulties inmakii
di > of Crawford aodEr
a bill is to epose .
Senators Caller and Delemater bolb a
opposed to putting those counties togei
er as they should and this fact em
barrasses in the. formation of every other
district in the western part of the . State.
The Butler politicians want to getjrinto a
district where they can get the next Con
gressman, and ofCburse want to be sepa
rated from Washington.! As your Sena
tor won’t let Washington go, there Is
great trouble in arranging this matter,
and at present it seems'impossible to do
so.' den. White is making his old fight to
save Westmoreland, and demands the
sacrifice of Washington. It is hard that
it should be slaughtered again, and there
was a disposition among several politi
cians here to gratify the General this
timei'and place Washington with Green
, Payette; but it now looks as if West
moreland would be bar ied, and
t»m placed where her friends desire, with
Beaver and Lawrence. It is impossible
to gratify all the Republican Senators and
Members, much lessßepublican Congress
men and their friends all over the State,
and many will be dissatisfied with any
bill adopted. Making apportionments is
a trying business, and the wonder is
members of these committees are not
driven crazy by the importunities of'pol
iticians.
The House was so much displeased at
the Senate for striking off the increase of
salaries for members of the Legislature
that the resolution for fitfal adjournment
on the tenth of April was tabled, although
the House originally passed the resolu
tion to adjourn on the twenty-seventh of
March. There will be a determined fight
made on the part of the House for the
bill as it passed the House, and as deter
mined a one oh the part of the Senate
against it. What the result will be can
not now be predicted, built js to be bop
ed the Senate amendments w ill be adopt
ed. The Legislature might adjourn even
earlier than the tenth of April if members
.of the House were not so determined upon
the salary grab, in imitation of Congress.
The Raid bill is pending in the House,
but since tbe veto of the Somerset bill
will not likely be pressed, as that veto, it
is thought, settles this bill during Gen.
Hartranft’s term. If this be true the peo
ple of the Commonwealth owe Geu. Har
tranft a debt of gratitude that should nev
er be forgotten.
Tbe Centennial appropriation is the
special order for Wednesday night m the
Senate, and a desperate effort will be
made to pass the House bill. Tbe indica
tions are that the House bill will not only
fail, bnt any bill appropriating mosey for
this purpose will fail in the Senate this
session. It is to be hoped the Senate will
remain firm, but the pressure will be so
strong that is hardly probable. M.

Tbe following is the" protest of the
Hon. D. M’Kce, member from Butler
county, against the increase - of' salaries.
On the passage of the bill-the, yeas and
nays were not called in the House, but in
the Senate the Senate Finance Committee
struck out all increases of salaries:
• Mr. Speaker* the bill before, this Boose at this:
time is one which* no doubt, many of ns would
like to see'passed and have our votes recorded
against It.
! S|r, this bill provides for an increase of salary of
i many of tbe officers of tbis Commonwealth, and
I among them onr own salaries, to be increased
from four to five hundred dollars, owing to dis
tance horn tbe capita].
It appears to me that this increase oi salary is
made at a very inopportune time, when the press
of the country ts denouncing the last Congress for
doing the very samo thing that we propose doing
by’thtf passago of this bill. " !
There are tworeasonsfor which 1 woo Id oppose
this part of it that increases
our own compensation. First, it is morally
wrong; bhcauao.we were sentbereioot only to
muks laws to gorern the people of this Common*
wealth, bnt to act as guardians of the people’s
by potting onr bands into‘the public
reasnrynna appropriating soma ofits Contents to
tnr nee, would be in my opinion a violation of the
at committed to ns.
Second. It is politically wrong, because tbe par
,y lD power always has the reproach, to bear, not
rlthstanding many of the party in- the minority
oay assist ta passing it. I the per
letaatioa of the Republican patty la of more
alue to ihs than four or dye hdndreddollars. I
are been a Republican too long, and the party
[* as done too mach daring its short existence for
- is to cast my vote for any measure that would
• are any tendency to even cripple it In its onward
’rloorso. - ’
Now, Mr. Speaker, tbe appropriations have
issod this Boob* in. a disorderly manner. I
;reby ettte- xny protest against Ub passage.

BE PLY TO “OBSEBVKB.”
Is Alcoholic Medication Necessary in
the Treatment of Disease ?
“Observer’s” second article is before me
and without any desire to be hypercritic
al, I must say that it.is the first Instance
that I have ever known of a disputant
arguing^or affirming without stating the
question or indicating in any manner
What be is attempting to prove. .
I had always supposed that it was the
province of him that affirmed a question
or proposition to state his premise, and
then advance such arguments, as would
sustain s logical conclusion based thereon/
while it is part of him who denies to
controvert or disprove the arguments of
the affirmant. Now ‘‘Observer’* has not
’ attempted—-( if he has he has, tailed,) to
sustain or prove anything?? Therefore, I
have nothing to disprove, and in this a*?-
ticle,.can,only controvert some of “Ob*
server’s” false assumptions and illogical"
conclusions.
“Observer” says: “that after reading
‘T. G.’s’ last reply, be knew less about
the subject than he did before it was ex*
plained.” We did not think it possible
that he could know less about the subject
than be did before,, but on carefully re
viewing “Observer’s” article, we are con
vinced that he tells the truth; for he does
not now seem to know anything at all
about the subject under discussion.
“Observer” does not wish to fallow
“T. 6.” through all bis wanderings. I
would remind “Observer” that it is not
his business to follow, but to lead, and
mine to follow.
“Observer” says: “the first argument
T. G.’ would overthrow, is that the
wine Paul prescribed for Timothy, and
the wine Christ made at the wedding
feast was not wine.” I wish “Observer”
would make his sentences intelligible;
(the foregoing is not.) “Observer” means
that I denied his assumption (not argu
ment) that these wines contained alcohol.
“Observer” in bis previous article assum
ed tbat tbe wine prescribed by Paul for
Timothy? and the water changed into
wine by Jesus, contained alcohol. “Ob
server” now presumes that it was the
same kind of wine as that which made
Noah drank. How convincing this is!
be first assumes It, then presumes it. Now
that’s conclusive ! We don’t require any
argument, proof is altogether unneces
sary !
“Observer” says: “This prepared by
Christ was wine, or it was not.” Cer
tainly that’s clear. “At the feast they
called it wine.” Well we agree that it
was wine. But, says “Observer,” “if it
was wine it contained alcohol.” “Ob
server” said the same thing before,
we asked him to prove it, be now simply
re asserts. Does “Observer” suppose that
this is any evidence of the truth of his
statement? We happen to know, upon
indisputable authority, that all ancient
wines did not contain alcohol. Will “Ob
server” pro/e that this, miracubusly fur
nished on this special occasion, did contain
alcohol ? No, he cannot do it; the pre-'
snmptive evidence is all contrary to such
a supposition.
“Observer” says that grape juice is not
wine until ft Las fermented.
Tbebeet wines of ancient limes, (it is
said by translators of the scriptures,) were
not fermented at all, as “Observer” may
learn by consulting those writers.
The wine Christ furnished was the best
of wine, free from alcohol. || was not
that intpxlcating tyine that, was called a
“mocker,” by which the foolish are de
ceived. It was notjhat fermented urine of
which it was said “jock not thou, upon
the wine when it givetb its color in the
enp, when it mqveth itself aright {fer
ments,) format last it biteth like a serpent
and stiogetb like an adder.”
“ ‘T. G-’ thinks that whisky (alcohol)
contains po element of strength or nutri
ment.” Certainly be does, and many
wiser men know it.
“Observer” holds the contrary opinion,
and says, “if we find that whisky con
taiusall or nearly all the nourishment
that was in the grain, then “T. G.’s” ar
gument falls to the ground. Just so, But
fortunately or unfortunately for “Obser
ver’s” argument, he will not find this to
be the case. “Observer” proceeds to
give an explanation of ibe process of pro
ducing whisky. If “Observer’s” knowl
edge of the cbemestry of the process is as
imperfect as bis explanation is incorrect,
we would recommend him to give the
matter close attention, or transfer the
task to more competent hands. Leibig,
says that alcoholic liquors are known
only as the result of one process operat
ing upon one substance. The process is
fermentation, the substance is grape su
gar, (glucose.)
“Lumer’s chemeslry,” in answer to the
question, what Is the nature of (he. vi
nous fermentation which generates alco
hol? says: “this name (fermentation)
is given to the peculiar decomposition
which different species of sugar undergo,
in certain circumstances, and in which
81

their elemen ts .combine to form ne.wcom- j
,pounds, which uhder similar conditions.;
are always the same. When saccharine.j
substances are placed in contact with sub-,
stances, in. a state of decomposition, or
putrifaction, it is observed often in a few'j
hours, if kept at a certain temperature,,
that the taste of the sugar has disappear-1
ed ; pure carbonic acid is disengaged, and
the liquid, has acquired intoxicating pro
perties. It now contains alcohol which
may be separated by distillation.
Leibig also says fermentation, putri
faction and dqcay.are processes of decom
position and their ultimate results, are toj
reconvert the elements of organic sub-
stances into that state in which
existed before they participated i n 7
processes of life. ! D *4
Tamer, in a later edition of his(%
istry, says, “fermentation j 8 nothin
but the petrifaction of substances 8
taining no nitrogen.” This destnJ?
proqess. communicates itself to the ttr
by it the carbon contained in the
divided between the hydrogen and of*
f soistaow, t 6,2
two carbonized compounds, the one *
taining almost all the oxyg en 0*,. 0011 '
acid,), and, the other containing .ij?
hydrogen, (nlool.01.) The nit,, J*
matters in the solution, such as !w
vegetable albumen, etc., are sponta
ly decomposed. It is then that the 7
composition of the sugar is C o
and continues until the sugar has entiiS
disappeared, the nitrogenized (i O 4?
mg) parts of the substance are constant!
precipitated In the form of ferment 1
In the light of these epical paru
notion that alcohol a riataml constitn !
of grape or grain, or; that nature 2
adapted her arrangements to the p ro( j,,
tion of alcohol is simply absurd. Alcok
as every chemist well knows, i s inw| J
bly a product of fermentation,
the natural process of decay and final dt
struction of organic, substance. Jf ,* s 0 ,
through a stage of decomposition and
putrifaction of organic vegetable sub
stance, by which the nitrogenous element
which represents the nutritive principle
is entirely destroyed, that alcohol i s
crated. In all the light of science hov
can “Observer” rialr his reputation f cr
Intelligence and his claim (if he has any)
to scientific attainments by
that alcohol is a nutrient.
; “Observer” formerly prescribed alcohol
as a stimulent; but since “T. G." h«
proved.by rational argument, that stima
lative was not what the case (Mr. C.) re
quired, that nourishment was the rtquj.
site, “Observer” abandons his plan 0 (
stimulation, end gives his ‘ good whisky
! punch” as nourishment. W e are glai
that his ideas are Clearing up sufficiently
to see the necessity for nourishment. Bat
all intelligent chemists tell us there is so
nourishment in alcohol; and physiologists
tell us that alcohol is not assim Gated in lbs
least degree, but is speedily expelled from
the system through the kidneys, Juo[
and skin, in the form of alcohol just as h
entered. Now if there is no nourishmeci
in alcohol, as all chemists agree there jj
not, and if alcohol is never assimilated aj
all physiologists know, why should it bt
given as food ? But “Observer” gives
“whisky punch,” which contains whisky,
sugar and milk. If whisky, sugar and
milk constitute ichisky punch, sugar and
milk alone will constitute punch. Now,
I would respectively suggest to ‘ Obset
ver” that he leave the whisky out aid
allow the punch to be taken “straight"
But “Observer” iu his simplicity (I ion)'
say ignorance) imagines that in tkVwa
ky be is giving bis patients, all the m
tritive elements of the grain. Let us see
What the authorities say. Baron Lcibig
says, “Beer, wine,, gpirits, etc., furnish.
no element capable , of entering into the
composition of blood, muscular fiber, or
any other part which is the seat of vital
principle.”
Prof. Moleschplt in bis “Chemistry of
Diet/’‘says “alcohol does not deserve tie
niame of an alimentary principle.”
Dr. W. B. Carpenter in “Manuel of
Physiology/’ lourth edition, says “alcpbel
cannot supply anything essential to th*
nutrition of the tissues.”
Prot E. R. Lees, says, "alcohol
do lime and phosphorus for the bones, DO
iron or salts for the blood, no nitrogen is
any torm for vital tissue of any kind.” It
“Observer desires more proof that alcohol
is not food, we will furnish it in our next.
But “Observer” says “this whisky punch
is an every dhy prescription nt every good,
physician.” We fear that "Observers
acquaintance with every good physician s
prescription is about as limited as his
knowdedge of alcohol is imperfect.
“Observer” supposes that "these disci
ples of Varuna” would give "LuH water.
We read in ancient mythology Varuna.
was the reputed Qodess of rest and ease,
as to whom Varuna was or is, perhaps
“Observer” caa inform me. Whether
"Observer’s” “Varuna” bo!
water or not, I am not avyare) but if ouch
was the case, Varuna displayed a much
greater degree of intelligence than theso
wifee "Observer’s” and “good physicians
that prescribe whisky every day as a nu
trient.
God never gave an appetite for alcoholic
drinks ; this is always either inherit
from parentage or acquired by habU§ °
indulgence. If it were a natural oPP etite
it. would be universal at least through the
same latitude and limit, which is by D °
means the case- Those who do not have
this appetite, or refrain from indulges
if it exists, are much more healthy, vigor*
ousjtud long-lived than, those who P ar
take of.this poisonous liquid.
“Observer” failed in his last article. 1°
i tel) the reader what subject was being
I discussed, lie also failed to answer any
of the in terrogatories contained is
former reply- I hope. “Observer” will 0
ü better the next tim& Don’t bediscourag
