Tuk Ixk;al Or HON bill has finally painted both branches uf the Legislature and has been sent to the Governor for h; signature. The bill, in its present shape, submits the question of license to a vote vi Iho people in c-'tUt and couuti'c," and is not limited to 'lcti's, boroughs aid tourn ,, as wan proposed in the original bill. Following is the full text of the act as it passed the Senate aud was sent Co the House, and in this ahupe no doubt it will become the law : A .Act to permit the voters of this com moLweaUu to vote every three years on the question ot grunting licenses to sell intoxicating liquors. Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That on the 3d Friday iu March, 1873 ,in every city and county in Ihid commonwealth, and at the annual uiunicipil electiuus every third year thereafter in every such city and coun ty, it ahull he the duty of the inspectors and judges of elections in the ciik-s and couuf.es to receive tickets either written or printed from the legl voters of said citiea aud counties, labeled on the outside "li-cei-se," aud on the insido "lor license" or against license," and to deposit said tick ets in a box provided for that purpose by fcaid inspectors and judges, a is required by law in the case ot other ticket received at aaid elections, und the tickets so received tLi.ll be counted and a return of the same u.ade to the cleik of the court of quarter ieious oi the peace of the proper county duly certified as required by law, which certificate shall be laid before the judges of the said court at the first meeting of said court ufter said election shall be held aud it shall be Bled with the other records of said courts, aod it shall be the duty of the mayors of cities and sheriffs of counties or of any other olficer whose duty it may bi to perform such service, to give due public notice of such special election above provided for three weeks previous to the time ot holding the next annunl municipal electiou iu every ucu city and county ,and also three weeks before auch election every third ytar thereafter : Provided, That this act shall not be coustrued to re peal or affect any special law prohibitng the sale ot intoxicating liquors or prohibit the granting of license;: 1'rovided, That when the municipal elections in any county or city ao no- occur on tue third r riday m March the election provided for in this auction shall be held ou the day fixed lor the municipal elections iu said city or county-. ' And provided further. That all licenses granted after the lt day of January, 1873, shall cease, determine and beto'ine void on the 1st day of April, 1873, if the district for which they shull be granted determine against the granting of license, and the treasurer of the proper county shall then refund to the holder of said license the moneys so paid therefor, for which th said treasurer shall be entitled to credit in bia account with the Commonwealth.

It promises to be largely attended and to number umonu its members many , of the ablest and most influential men in of nominating candidates for the I'risi denry i nl Vice t'residency, but to express its btcrn opposition to the blunders and corruptions of Grant' administration and to announce the essential and true princi ples upon which the government ought to be aJiuinioteieJ, it seems now t be pret ty well settled that a national ticket will be placed in nomination. It seems alao to bo understood that one of the four fol lowing named gentlemen will be ifjmina- an opportunity of exhibiting its stiength at the election in New Hampshire, where it claimed to bo well organized and to be a mighty power iu the State, and yet it did not poll over Jive Lundnd votes. If this miserable effort in one of its boasted strongholds was a fair indication of its strength throughout the country, then as a formidable political body it is "not worth a row f pin," and the Labor IJcfurm party may as well hang up its harp und I its candidate on the willows. f J udge D&vis, in our opinion, will not develope much force at Cincinnati. Mr. Trumbull is a gentleman of superior at tainments and unrpotted reputation. Hid long experience as a Senator and his Ihor oogh acquaintance with the adniibis:ra live affairs of the goverrmert eminently J qualify him for the office of President. Governor Ih own id a man of marked abil ity and great decision of character, and may be regaided as the originator of the Missouri movement. Like Jude Trum bull, he commenced political life as a d mocrat. The chances of Charles Fran cis Adamc, although he is undoubtedly one of tie foremost statesmen of the coun j tr' will be mateiially lessened .from the fact that in New England, where he rei side?, the liberal movement has not made very rapid pugresa All the indications therefote point to the nomination either of Mr. Trumbull or Gov. Brown. If there is any substantial difference between the political tiews entertained by these two gentlemen arid those held by Jeremiah S. Black, Thomas A. Hendricks, Allen J. Thorman, and other acknowledged demo cratic leader?, we confess that we have not been able to disc-over it. With either Trumbull or Brown as the candidate, standing on a broad, liberal an4. honest platform, the fate of the present corrupt and jobbing administration is irrevocably doomed. The report of the proceeedings in Con gress on the 22d instant dUcloscs the fol lowing interesting facts : Mr. JJeCnahT. fiom the Committee on Elections, reported a recolutiou to pay to Mr. Cessna, of Tenunyl vauia. the unsticcea. ful contestant for th seat of U. F. Meyers, $4,480 as his actual, reasonable, and neces sary expense. Ha atatttd that the Committee jad required itemized accounU uuer oath from all the contestauta. aud il at this sum was SI. 500 Ies than tbe account presented Theamouot paid to unauccensful contestant at the last Cot)gres was $113,000. The resolution waa adopted. When it ii recollected that John Cess na's trumped-up claim to a seat in Con gress was so barefaced and indefensible that but one member of the nine gentle men who compose the Committee on Elec tions voted in favor of it, it will be con ceded that this shameless demagogue has been pretty liberally paid for his misera ble failure. If this shall only prove to be Cessna's political finale, the people will not complain, even though the con sideration paid fr such a blessing has in deed been extravagant. The statement made by Mr. McCrary, who is chairman of the Committee in Elections, that the amount paid to unsuccessful contesfactd at the last Congress was Si 13,000, is well calculated to create astonishment. Under radical rule it has become bo com mon for a defeated republican to contest the right of a democrat to his seat, al though his majority might have ran up into thousands, that the pursuit of a seat in Congresd under difficulties has been eq ially as remunerative as its actual pos session. . It bad 'become a regular trade for the mere purpose of making money, which is the ulpha Kudonuga ia the cata chisnj of all radical politicians. It was the easiest thing in the world for a defeat ed candidate in a Southern Stale to get up a show of a contest on the ground, for instance, that the negroes were ". terrified from attending the polls by threats aod violence, when it id a notorious fact that in States ia which tbfl election last, two .i.ii.iMii. i i..ui... uin. .ul i ii. . i.i ii iiu.iwi i.i.i i ii n ji i i il I..... , u.m .uinnp , baggers, for the ixpress purpose of voting and when he faikd to raakeuut his case, to call upon the Treasury, through an act of Congress, to pay him an extravagant compensation. A new rule, however, we believe baa been adopted, not to appropri- witnesses, etc. lhis has cut up the bus iness of the carpet-baggers by the roots, so that the practice is now more honored in the b:each than in the observance. A Ruluctl Stale. The following extracts from a letter if its authorized correspondent, publiohed in the New York Tribune, will give ur readers an adequate conceptiou of the de plorable condi ion into which South Car olina has been plunged by the corruption and igrioranco of iho negroes and unprin cipled white adventures who now rule the affairs of that State. It is a true but melancholy picture, and elegantly exposes the sins and infamies of radical rcconstruc tion in a State iu which a majority of the vottrs are ignorant and degraded negroes, who are made the instruments and tools of carpet-bag thieves and plunderers in carrying out their unholy purposes. Is it to be wondeied at that ku-kluxism made its home in South Carolina t Such a state of affairs as this correspondent depicts would stir up a rebellion even in m radi icall -ridden a Slate us Vermont, or in a commonwealth so exclusively loyal as Massachusetts. .

"It is sometimes a.kd why the white people of tho state do no euasavcr to influ euoo the black by kind treatment aud per suasiou to their true interests. The answer is, that the jealousy of the black of hid old niAstsr is profound, uuyicldiug and uuiveisal. A here the kindest personal relations prevail, wheie the fieedmen remain on the old plan tations, aud work the laud on share in cou teutmeot aud harmony with the proprietors, the testimony is that, so for as votiug is con cerned, the old master is utterly without in fluence.

Speer, member from this district, made the following remarks iu Congress during the recent consideration of the act providing for the bestowal of 1,000,000 upon the Tacific Steamship Company: Mr. Chairman, the echoes of the lamenta tion of the distinguished , ueutlemau from Massachusetts. Mr. Dawe the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, over the doleful condition of the finance if the Country, have scarcely died away iu this House, and they are still lingering in the land. Ouly last week he bewailed the ex travagance of legislation, aud predicted great national embarrassment uu'ess a halt be speedily called. Aud yet to day we u'ud him with his arm deep down into the national Treasury, endeavoring to take from it a tub sidy of S 1.000,000 fn the bem fit of a steam ship company, thus aiding, with hi recog nized influence upou this Hjor, to produce the very result which he so strongly and piteously deplortd. bir, I admit his shrewd ness, his fiuo way of putting things; but to my ear there is no harmony between his eloquence and his acta. He was sty led here, a fewr days ago, "tha artful dodger," aud iu view of his speech last week and bis present course the country may not regard the des ignation as undeceived. Hi voice is always loud aod dear aud strong wheu theories are to bo advanced, and wheu the note of warn ing is to be given to the cuuutry ; but wbeu a bold, uaked measure comes heie assaulting tho Tieasury in the interest of corporation aud organized wealth, hw vote, uuii.Huei,cd by his own ek queuce, aud regardless of bis own appeal for economy, i given agaiutt the lejpl aud iu favor of tbe most extrav agant appropriations. Of courte be Is houe6t, aud bis support of this -measure spiiugs from his conviction that it is right ; but it is the fortune or misfortune of some gentlemen to be ao peculiarly constituted as to sea one side tf a question involving the inlerist of corporate power ami iganizcil wealth on the oue hand and tbe interests of the people on lbs other. Aud in bis course, so bua iu theory aud to txtiavagaut in prac tice, the gentleman from Massachusetts finds au able coadjutor iu the gulleuiau fi em Ohio Mr. Ga;tidd the dlstniu;td.ed Chair man if tho Couiuiiitee of .Ap r.'piiaiiuL They aie both svutinels upou the waich toer of the Treasury, and appeal loudiy for ecouomy wbeu a pension Lill granting a few dollars to a poor soldier or bis widow is btfoie th House ; but wheu a proposition is made to giant a mil ion of the people's money a a subsidy to a corporation which has already received 43.000, COO from tha government, they rush to its deteuse under the prelcuse of aiding commerce and of un furling our flig U4oU the sea.

I love its flag wi:h its stars aud stripes, and I wmld hit it high upon the land aud up ou the sea; but I would plaut the staff of that flag deep in the afTcoiiou and luve of the people. I would stiuglheu it with equal and jut aud bomfi;ut laws, aud I would have it float foiever as the proud emblem of a nation governed by au honest C-jugibb aud au houest aJministraliou of the (Jovemmeut. Sir, the Cross of St. George represent tbe wealth of Britain's titled ansticntcy, while the ti ig of the Uciou ia the pride aud the bost of America' untitled m.liions. Tne one is the hope .f the few, the other of the many. Subsidies and land graut to cor porations, which iu plaiu lauguage are robberies of the people, shed uo luster upon our flag. The gioiy which beams from it star was won from a far different fild. This reference to the flag by the gentle man from New Yoik Mr. Brooks seams to me ill-timed. Hi love for our prosperi-t ty upou the sea grows weak wheu applied to the development of our iudutries at home, lie would close the workshops and manufacturing establishments of our peo ple for the purpose of opauing a market for the products of fereigu labor. He wou!d keep bu.iea iu the earth our untold miner al wealth, and hush to sileuce the hoarse music of our furnaces and f.irge iu the in terest of British capital and for the eleva tion cf the Cioss of St. Georgt ; aud then he would euloghe the American eagle, and vote away $1,000,000 of the people's money for tbe beurfit of a btaamsliiji coniaujr I Mr. Chairman. Congress has given iu mouey and laud almost, a hundred mil lion dollars to tho Tacit'ic tailroad compa nies; aud now it is proposed to give a milliou more of the paopl' money to briog trade to these railways.

If the Pacific, ateamship company is to have a subsidy of $1,000,000 mi tbe pretense of securing to u the trade of Chiua and Japan, why shall uot the d.lfuraut line of steamers ruuniug from our eastern citit to liiiropc a'so receive subsidies ? ' And theu, . why shall uot all the steamship compauie s on our lakes receive the same Government aid? Aod wherever a railroad company find it busiuaaa unprofitable, why shall it not como to Congress aud get a subsidy on the grouud of aidiug commerce 1 The principle ia wholly wrong. These corporation are pri vate enterprises ; their profits belong to their stockholders, and thair 10rcs, if any should be borne by them. -Tbsse subbidis are taken out ot the public Treasury, from the people' money, and paid to a few individ uals who have voluntarily engaged in pri vate speculations for their owa profit. If the people are to furnish the capital to carry on these corporate enter prisee, to bear the losses, why uot, then, share the profits?

He was sitting on a car driving it up a run, when, in lean" ing over he loet his balance and fall to the ground, breaking hid neck. All this in Luzerne couuty. Here is what the New" York Tribune has to say in regaid to the defeat of the libel bill in the senate the other day : "The legislature of Pennsylvania is ia no mind to have an unrestrained press free to pry into its conduct, and exercise a wholo aome restraiut . on legislation. The bill recently brought into that enlightened body, by the editorial association of the state, for the protection of the press, was inconti nently killed, and the present uncivilized and imperfect provisions remain iu force almost silencing the state press ia its efforts to rtform abuse or denounce dishonesty."
