WHO ARE "RESPONSIBLE?
Trained to Crime.
It is no uncommon thing to find editors
of newspapers shedding crocodile tears over
the moral depravity of the age, the increase
of crime of every kind, and the general
flood-tide of venalitv that is deluging the
country. The same general strain of com
plaining is taken up and repeated by that
chronic set of grumblers, who see only the
dark side of things present, and are ever
staring backward at the bright side of the
good old times. We are of the number of
those who, though not denying the general
prevalence of much that is evil, are not
disposed to condemn the present as worse
than the past, but on the contrary look
upon it as buoyant with hope and promise
tor the near future. But our preseßt ob
ject is to show the hypocrisy of those fault
fiuders with the existing state of things.
A close examination of the class of newspa
pers addicted to these gloomy jeremiads i
will show that they take special care to fill
their news-columns with police reports,
murders, robberies, adulteries, and every
species of criminal news and statistics. In
their zeal to expose the wickedness ot the
times, they become the teachers of crime,
the cultivators of a taste in their readers for
criminal statistics, from which it is but a
step to participation. It is thus that thou
sands of the youth of the land are yearly
made familiar with the whole criminal vo
cabulary, are trained to think of, and to
dwell in imagination upon every species ot
'■rime, and from thinking upon, the way to
participation in it, in every form, is easy, and
the passage swift and sure. But the res
ponsibility resta not alone with the editor,
who thus basely panders to vicious and
depraved tastes in some, and cultivates
them in others. The patrons of such pa
pers arc scarcely less guilty than the pub
lishers. .111 over the country are men by
hundreds and thousands, who estimate the
value of the paper they introduce into their
families for daily reading, by the size of the
sheet or the amount of reading matter, with
out regard to quality. From our own expe
rience, we know that there is scarcely one
in a dozen of either city or country papers
that is not literally crowded, with disgust
ing police reports, the minutest details of
criminal trials, and in which are not adver
tised gift enterprises and lotteries, to train
the young to gambling, and patent medi
cines and obscene books, the character of
which is not to be named in decent society,
all calculated to initiate the young into the
worst of vices. Yet these are daily patron
ized by those who complain of the awful de
dravity of the times, and the appalling ar
ray of crimes every where committed. o
believe that there is a much greater preva
lence of crime than there should l>c, and
that much of what now prevails may be res
trained and prevented; but it can only be
done, when these same, hypocritical, grum
bling editors awake to a sense of their res
ponsibility, in wielding for good or evil the
immense power of the press, and when men
making pretensions to common morality
cease to patronize the thousands of filthy
and obscene sheets that now pollute every
corner of the land. This is a subject that
comes home to every head of a family and
to every one interested in elevating the
moral standard of our people. Let all such
heed the lesson, and live up to the princi
ples they profess, and henceforth beware of
lending their aid in the training of the peo
pie to vice instead of virtue.
Half of the opposition voters in Bed
lord Borough are candidates for County
Treasurer, while the other half would be if
they thought there was any chance. AVag
was overheard to 'say the other evening,
within the hearing of half a score of the
rivals, that he was determined to support
the man who would give him the use of the
greatest amount of the public funds, in case
of election. He was button-holed, it is said,
by half the number present, as soon AS tbc
coast was clear, and told they would "make
it all right. It is apparent some body
wants the use of the public funds.
Within the last week, the prices of
Hour and grain have received a "grand and
lofty tumble in th&Eastern and Western
markets. The speculators are rapidly com
ing to grief. There is a better day coming.

THE REVISION and CODIFICATION
OF OCR STATUTE LAWS.
The necessity for a revision and codifies
tion of the statute laws of Pennsylvania at
tracted attention earlv in the present centu
ry. and the project was recommended to
the Legislature by several of the Governors
of the State. Fruitless efforts were from
time to time made in the Legislature to pass
the measure. The difficulty seems to have
been to agree upon the Commissioners of
revision, divers motions having been made
to "strike out Alexander Thompson and
insert Hugh. Bellas"—"strike out Horace
Binney and insert George M. Dallas," &c.
Finally, on the 23d of March, Is3o, resolu
tions were adopted authorising the Govern
or, George Wolf, "to appoint three Com
missioners, learned in the law, to revise, col
late and digest ail such public acts and statutes
of the civil code, and all such British stat
utes in force in this State, as are general
and permanent in their naturo."
By virtue of these resolutions Gov. Wolf
nppoiated William Bawle and Thomas I.
Wharton Esquires, of Philadelphia, and
Joel Jones. E-quire, then of Easton, to be
the Commissioners.
The statute laws were at that time the
accretions of one hundred and thirty years.
No attempt had been made to revise or cod
ify tbetn from the year 1700. More than
six thoti-Hiid six hundred acts had been
adopted -ince the commencement of the
eighteentli century. The Commissioners
brought to the work assigned them great
legal learning and diligence, and reported to
the Legislature at different times, bills on
on the following subjects:
1. Registers and Register's Courts.
2. Orphans' Courts.
3. Last Wills and Testaments.
4. Descent and Distributions of Intes
tate's Estates.
.. Executors and Administrators.
6. Counties and Townships, and County
and Township officers.
7. Weights and Measures.
8. Relating to the Oiganizatiou of Courts
of Justice.
9. Roads, Highways and Bridges.
10. Inns, Taverns and Retailers of Li
quors.
11. Support and employment of the Poor.
12. County and Township Rites and
Levies.
13. Militia.
14. Elections.
15. Inspections.
16. Jurisdiction of the Courts.
17. Commencement of Action - by Sum
mons, Capias and Attachment
18. Actions concerning Real Estate.
19. Lunatics and Habitual Drunkards.
20. Assignees for the Benefit of Creditors
and other Trustees.
21. Domestic Attachments.
22. Writs of Quo Warranto and Man
damus.
23. Liens of Mechanics.
24. Attachment of Vessels.
25. Suits on Penal and Official Bonds.
26. Replevin.
27. Reference and Arbitration.
28. Executions.
29. Insolvent Debtors.
Their first report was made January 31,
1831, and embraced the first two bills named
above, which were enacted into laws in
March. 1832.
Of the twenty nine bills repotted, twenty
six were enacted, for the most part, substan
tially as reported. The 13th, 18th, and 26th.
as above enumerated, do not seem to have
been enacted.
The revised laws were not at first received
with favor by the profession; the older
practitioners particularly objected to them.
Some reading and study and a change from
established modes, was rendered necessary.
Old lawyers were put upon 3 plane with the
younger members of the bar, and deprived
of tbc advantage which familiarity with the
old laws and methods of procedure gave.
However, in a few years, when the laws had
become better known, it was generally con
ceded that the Commissioners had done
their work well, and that the revised code
was a great improvement, so far a3.it went.
But their work was incomplete. Al
though their labors and reports cover a
period of six years, from April, 1830, the
date of their appointment, until January,
1830, the date of their last report, a great
deal of the statute law then existing was
left untouched. This is to be collated and
codified by the present board, which is also
to revise, collate and codify the public and
general acts passed since the former revi
sion, which constitute an immense accumu
lation of legislation, for a volume of pam
phlet laws now is thrice the size of one of
forty years since.
A thorough revision and codification of
the public and general statutes is a pressing
necessity, which the flight of time makes
every year more urgent. It is to be hoped
that the gentlemen appointed by the Gov
ernor will give the work—a most arduous
and responsible one—their undivided at
tention, and that their labors will result not
only in abridging the size of the Digest, but
also in superseding the necessity for so much
special legislation, thus reducing the pon
derous and unwieldy volumes of pamphlet
laws into a more convenient arid reasonable
shape.
The Copperhead County Convention
comes off on the 16th inst. Already the
"little tub?,"' which are usually thrown to
the whale, are in motion, to secure the po
sitions accorded them by the central des
potism in Bedford. It is customary for
this despotism to select the merest block
heads that offer, so that good men are sel
dom successful. Men who have minds of
their own are not wanted, only those who
will submit to the yoke of the leaders, and
do their bidding in all things.
OoNfF.RVATISM is manhood asleep, and
in his dream* worshipping at the shrine of
the dead past.
RADICALISM is a fierce iconoclast, crush

powder the golden idols of Conservatism,
and urging awakened manhood forward to
a greater good, a purer life and a higher in
telligence, by pointing him to the embodi

SuF.BIDAN. — The firm hand with which
the gallant Gi-n Sheridan holds 111 check
the rebel- in his department i- a source of
great annoyance to the rebels and Cugfper
heads all over tho country. While not dar
ing to condemn biui openly, they are Dearly
all, the administration organ leading off,
finding fault with his judgment, charging
liim with unnecessary severity, Ac., and re
commending (Sen. Thomas as a more suita
ble man for the position. All this is done
no doubt understanding!}', with a view to
prepare the public mind for the removal of
"Little Phil," and placing some one in his
place, who will consent to subserve rebel
interests. In the meantime the hero of
Winchester keeps a sharp watch over h : s
rebel wards, allowing no fear of Presiden
tial frowns to interfere with his sense of
duty in keeping the peace. A few days ago
when the rebels threatened to break up a
Republican meeting, in New Orleans, be
promptly placed his troops under arms,
drew up the gunboats along tho levee, so as
to command the city, and was himself, with
his subordinates, in the saddle, prepared to
put down any attempt to repeat the Mon
roe massacre of last year. Such faithfulness
may bring the eallant soldier under the
Presidential ban, but it merits the appro
bation of all peaceful, lova! and law abiding
citizctis, without regard to political opinions.
THE Chicago Tribune says that the pres
ent inflated prices of wheat are but tem
porary, and intimates that they arc mainly
due toa "corner" established by speculator"
on exaggerated statements of the scarcity of
breadstuff's. The Tribune says:
"In iess than six weeks the wheal harvest
will be gathered in the southern half of the
wheat growing belt of the country, and that
harvest promises to be a most abundant one.
A few weeks later will follow the harvest up
to the northern line, and that, too, promises
to he a most liberal yield. Under these cir
cumstances, every one must perceive that
the present high prices rest upon an exceed
ingly flimsy foundation. The corner upon
breadstuffs has been successfully maintained
much longer than the speculators expected;
but its time is nearly spent. Miller- l)u\
no wheat at present prices, and sales ol flour
are confined to retail dealers, to -u;>j .y i.c
imuiediatc wants of their CUMOHICI-. IC -
terday there were 1 lIMXH) bushels of wheat
and 67,000 barrels of flour in store in Chi
cago. The daily receipts are fully equal to
the demand for local consumption, and there
is no other demand now, and will be none
until the new crop runes in.
This is a cheerful view of the matter,
which wc hope will be -oon verified by the
market quotations.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Th I'li-xuleutial trip to Ralci'jh.— Tin
Impeachment matter. Snrratt's fax,.
WASHINGTON June i.—The President
left at six o'clock this evening on the trip to
Raleigh, accompanied by Secretary Seward
and Col. Moore, hi- Private Secretary.
His departure was in striking contiast to
his trip to Chicago last summer. Th< n he
was escorted to the depot by iarge delega
tions of people of this city, while now a coup
le of private carriages containing the Presi
dential party wended their way to the Rich
mond boat in a most unostentatious man
tier. The Secretary of State did not makt
up his mind to accompany the Pre-iuent
until a few hours before bis departure. The
.-ame suite of rooms at the Spottswood
House have been assigned to i lie f'resident
that were occupied by Jeff. Davis (luting
hi- recent visit to that city. At the White
llou-c, Itefore the President left. .11 of the
Cabinet now in the city were > n band to 1 i 1
the President farewell. Chief Ju-tice Cbasr
was al.-o present, anil had brief private
interview with the President.
The Impeachment Committee will adjourn
about Tuesday, until No vein lair or Decern

a quorum in Congress in July. Messrs.
Woodbridge and Eldridge leave for home

deot's clerks, relative to the pardon of'Gayie,
who w.i- arrested for offering a reward dur
ing the war lor the assassination of Presi

The counsel for the prosecution have de
cided after all to adhere to the indictment
for murder found m Suratt's case, and to
abandon all intention of trying him on a
charge of conspiracy. The trial will, there

I received a confirmation of the news of
the fall of Quo. re turn and of the advice sent
relating thereto, together with official
correspondence from Vera Cruz. The in

The city of Mexico has certainly capitula

respondence with the Libeials.
Vera Cruz will soon surrender.
Upon the surrender of Maximilian Juan z
sent to Vera Cnt/., I'uebla and the city of
Mexico, dispatches similar to thai .s nt to
General Berrioza'oal at Matamoras. These
state that all the Imperialists, their ammu
nition and supplies, were captured on the
15th icst. Maximilian and all efti; tuabove
the rauk of Lieutenant are repotted to have
been shot at suveu o'clock on the evening
of the 16tli, by officers who escaped and ar
rived at Brownsville on tbc 27th Iroui

He is indignant that the letter ot the United

here of the shooting of all.

money to get up tournaments, and, indeed,
whenever there is an occasion for honoring
the rebel dead, or of testifying in regard to
living traitors, there seems fo be no lack of
funds, and no difficulty in raising what is

Pei.-unt of .-edenfary habits troubled with weak
ness, laa.-ilude, palpitation of the heart, lack of
appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con
stipation, Ac., deserve to suffer if they will not
try the celebrated PLANTATION" BITTERS,
which are now recommended by the highest med
ical authorities, and warranted to produce an t'm
medintc beneficial effect. They are exceedingly
agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supersede all
other tonics where s healthy, gentle stimulent is
required. ,
They purify, strengthen and invigorate.
They create a healthy appetite.
1 hey are an antidote to change of water and diet.
They strengthen the" system and enliven the
mind.
They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers.
They purify rbe breath and acidity of the
stomach.
They core Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head
ache.
They make the weak string, the languid bril.
liant, and are exhausted nature's great restorer.
They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya
bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all
preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum. For
particulars, see circulars and testimonials around
each bottle.

Beware ■ tors. Examine every bottle
hec tbat it ha- < ■ r private U.S. stamp unuiutila
ted over the cork, with plantation scene, and our
signature on a fine steel plate side label. See that
our bottle i: not refilled with spurious and dele
terious start. Any person pretending to sell
Plantation Bitters by the gallon or bulk, is an
impostor. Any person imitating this bottle, or
selling any the material therein, whether called
Plantation IJittci- r not, is a criminal under the
U. S. I.aw, and will be so prosecuted by us. The
demand for Drake's Plantation Bitters, from la
dies, clergymen, merchants, Ac., is incredible.
The simple trial of a bottle is the evidence we
present of their worth and superiority. They are
sotd by all respectable druggists, grocers, physi
cians, hotels, saloons, steamboats and country
stores.

Saratoga Spring Water, sold by ail Druggists.
It is a most d.-lightfu! Hair Dressing.
It eradicates scurf and dandruff.
It ke-ps the head cool and cleuu.
It makes the hair rich, soft and glossy.
It prevents hair turning gray and falling off.
It restores hair upon prematurely bald heads.
This is just what Lyon's Kathairon will do. It
is pretty—it is cheap—durable. It is literally
sold by the car-load, and yet its almost incredible
demand is daily increasing, until there is hardly a
country store that does not keep it, or a family
