Nasty-Grant Mr. Nast i* the name of the artist who did up the vile caricature* of Horace Greeley, in Harpers' Weakly, during the last election. The mwfiert efforts of the nastiest man, with all Mr. Nast's skill as an artist, could not have outdone the shameful and indecent picturing that was done by the said artist for the Harpers. But that might all be forgotten and for given, as having occurred during the excitement of a presidential campaign. But a nastier feature, is now devel oping itself, alter Mr. Greeley s death when he lies buried beneath the tear* of a nation, and when a world attest ed to his worth —this nasty feature is Gen. Grant contributing to a testi monial to that artist for his discredit able caricatures. Of all others President Grant should have kept shy from such a movement, modesty, if he had any, should have forbidden him to take part in it; a sense of de cency should have taught him to de test it; his exalted position should have made him feel it as far beneath his dignity to reward the vile carica turist of his honorable rival for the Presidency, Horace Greeley. But who can expect anything better from a man of Grant's calibre ? Our State Legislature The present state legislature ts no improvement upon its predecessors. The anti-ring, or honest force, in the lower boose, numbers about 12 out of 100 members who compose that body. Among this dozen that stands up for honest and pure and in opposition to hasty and corrupt legislation, we are gratified to find the member from this county, J/r. Orris. Mr. Orris' quick perception, clear head, and readiness as a debater, has made him a great eyesore to the ring, and in many of their schemes have they been checked by him, although upon a vote he stands with a small but incorruptible minority. Though the stand Mr. Or ris has taken may not defeat much of the legislative gambling, yet we per ceive, that the ring does not find its way quite so smooth, and feels its progress somewhat retarded. What a pity that there are not more to stand by such a leader *aa Mr. Orris, to the shame of our commonwealth be it said, amidst the pride that the people, and particularly the democracy, of old Centre, may feel, in being represented there by a man likej John H. Orvia, of great ability with honesty to balance. There is another noble young dem ocrat, upon the floor of the house, who also votes and assists in the good work of honest legislation—this is CapL Brockway, of Columbia. If the people of the state looked a little closer into the doioga of their servants at Harrisbarg, and would elect to keep at home such as keep going with the ring, our legislative halls would soon be purified. The people have the remedj in their own hands, and if they do not choose to make use of it, they themselves are to blame, if the large majority of repre sentative* are corrupt. The votes of a member always show whether he is with the ring or not Thus tkr, our member, Mr. Orris, has been true to every pledge he made before his elec tion, and we know he will be found true to the end. That the majority is against him is net his fault—the ma jority is corrupt, and he is battling it manfully, and has hit it many stag gering blows already—his constitu ents may well feel proud of him. The Benner twp. road law, by which all taxes are to be paid' in money, leaving the supervisors to hire and pay for the work done, and of which we advocated an extension to Potter twp., we see has called tbe at tention of other townships to the mat ter, and that such have also petitioned to be included. This is a good law, and k will bring us better roads with less taxes. We are pleased to we that our member, Mr. Orvis, proposes to make the act general far Center county, which, we think, will meet with the almost unanimous ap proval of our citizens. Seduction of Postage The bill to amend the poetal code adopted by the House on 11th reduces letter postage after the Ist of next January to 2 cents, aad the postage on daily newspapers from $1.20 to 60 cents, All printed matter is to be prepaid.

Petition from Gregg twp, for amend ment to local option law. An act to increase the pay of jurers in .Tioga "county, amended, on mo tion of Mr. Orvis, to include Centre county. Mr. Cross offered the following, which was twice read ; Resolved, That bill No. 159, origi nated and reported from the Ways and Means Committee, appropriating one million dollars to the United States Centennial exposition, be recommit ted for farther consideration. Mr. Elliott. I hope this House will not recommit the bill and I will give reasons why I hope so. J knew noth ing about this bill betore it was re ported from the committee, but if there ts to be opposition to it, it ougbt to take place on this floor, where every] roan shows his hand, and not sec roily in the committee room, where they*can sneak and skulk in regard to it, ami the public know nothing about it. j Mr. Orvis. 1 did not suppose when this resolution was introduced that j this debate would have taken place upon it, 1 was very much >ur|>c- the responsibility of what I do or of how I vote in committee, the same as as 1 do upon the floor ol the House I am not a member of the Commit tee of Ways and Means aud 1 do not know whether a majority of the com mittee desires to re-examine aud re consider this bill or not 1 have read it since it was printed and placed on the calendar. It should be reconsider ed, as it seems to me a crude and illy considered picc^of legislation It proposes to appropriate a milliou of dollars, and for what and to whom? There are three or four different par ties mentioned in it. The city ot Phil adelphia is referred to, the Fairmouut Park commissioners have something to do with it, the corporation created uuder an act of Congress is another party, as also the Board of Finance of the Centennial Commission, lo whom is this money to go? Out of what fund is it to be paid? How - is this million to be raised ? All these are provisions that should be carefully prepared in the bill. When the questiou come- bet!.re the House as to whether we .-hall appro priate a milliou of dollars, 1 shall not be afraid to accept the re.-j usibility so far as my owu vote is concerned. I am in favor of having this bill re committed so that it may be digested into a better form. -t- -r ♦— The body that meets at IV ashington, called Congress, should now have a change of name, and be styled the Credit Mobilier, with Colfax, Ames, Patterson, Wilson, Harlan, Ac., as board of directors. Spain a Republic King Amadeus has abdicated the throne of Spain, and the Cortes have agreed to the establishment of a re publican form of government by a vote of 259 to 32. The nio.-t iuteu.-e excitement prevails in Madrid and through the whole country. The Carlietz arc increasing in such rapid and formidable proportions that the Spanish Government is forced to send a regular army against them. The City of Saragossa is so surrouud ed by them as to be virtually blocka ded, and they arc equally active in the neighborhood of Segovia, Estell the fortified town of Balaguer, and throughout the province of A ragon. The formal message of abdication of King Amadeus was read in each chamber separately. It opens with the statement that the King has ma turely considered the question of what course he ought to pursue with refer ence to the Spanish throne, aDd has firmly resolved upou that course. When he accepted the crown, he did so under the belief that the loyalty of the people who had called him would compensate for the inexperience which be brought to his task. He had found that herein be was deceived. If the enemies who had beset his path had been foreigners he* would not have taken the course now deter mined upon ; but tbey are Spaniards. By them Spain had been kept in per petual disquiet. All bis efforts to quiet her or nut an end to the intrigues which were the source of her agitation had proved unavailing. It was not enough that he bad a partisan sup port. He had DO wish to remain on the throne as the king of a party. He therefore Announced his abdication on behalf of himself and his heirs. Upon the completion of the reading the Senate and Congress met together in the Chamber of the latter and con stituted themselves the Sovereign Cortes of Spain. Senor Rivero, Pres ident of the Congress, was called to the chair, and in a brief speech declared himself ready to answer for the pres ervation of order and tho execution of the decrees of the sovereigu power. A DAUGHTER OF PRESIDENT TAY LOR PETITIONING FOR A PEN SION. WasHtKOTOX, Feb. 4.—Speaker lllainc ta-day, having called Mr. Dawes to the chair, appeared on the floor, saying he had a few minutes ago had an interview in the Speaker's room which had deeply tout h'-d him. It was with the widow of Robert C. Wood, late aasistant surgeon in the I'nited States army, and a daughter of Zachary Taylor, late President of the United Slates. She had presented a petition, which he would not have read, as it pre sented a state of facts that ought not to b" expected, viz: that a daughter of Zncliary Taylor was in need of assistance, 110 had aasured her that he did not believe there would be a vole against the bill which he now introduced, granting to Mr-. Wood u pension of S6O per month, to date from the death of her husband, March K8 1809 and it was passed by an unanimous vote. CREDIT MOBILIEK The wrong dune tbc people by the Cred it Mobilier spoilers were tersely stated in the speech of Horace lireeley at Indiana polis, during the presidential canvu--. He said: "These gentlemen contracted with them selves to pay Usemselves twice the fair cost of entirly building and equipping the road; and, building it with the proceeds ot the money ient by the Government, they proceeded to devide among them selves the other bonds, equal to the amoufet for which Congress hnd made a mortagageon the entire road.

(From the Springfield Republican.] i To the people of Massachusetts the:, disgraceful revelation* of corruption and cowardice at Washington must bo more humiliating than to tho rest of our countrymen, li was among us that the Credit Mobilier iniuuity was conceived, if not begotteu. It was by j Massachusetts men thul litis last re proach was brought upon our Nation-j nl renown, Ames and Allov, and' Butler, ami Hooper, ami Williams are all Massachusetts Congressmen, past, present or to come ; tho accused who have clearer I themselves without wholly restoring their names to their' former reputation, are also in jm*m' Massachusetts men, aud one of them, Henry Wilson, Vice Presidentelect,' is the life-lung frieud aud confidant at I Alley, the meanest of the luiliioaarmj who trader! in legislation. It was n Massachusetts Secretary of the'l reas on*, fully acquainted, as it would now; I appear, with the rascality of the Cred-j it Mobilier ring, who, niter an houeai. but brief resistance to their last exor tiv ii in 1871, tamely submitted, with out expoaing them to |H>ptilar iudig nation bv publishing the facts. And it was this same Secretary Boulwel) who, last September (if wo may be ! lieve the word of Oakes Ames) called upon the chief of the ling to pay out) his misgotten dollars for the help oil the Grant party in the Indiana State I election. Whatever was done or al lowed in this whole wretched business was done and allowed by the men] whom Masaachuaaett* had put in her high places of trust and honor ; and upon this Commonwealth must fall a treble share of the shame aud odium that are now resultiug from so con spicuous a piece of baseness. Our an cient enemies will poiut the finger ol scorn at us, aud those who have hon ored us will wonder it Massachusetts has really falleu so low that Ames and Williams aud Butler are our proper representatives at Washing ton. lu this condition of things there is but one course for the people of Mas sachusetts to pursue. Let them show by their acts that they repudiate and abhor the misdeeds of these swindlers. Let thera demand the punishment of Ames aud his confederates, and refuse any louger to be represented in Con gress by such meu. If Boston mer chants like i/ooper and Williams have so far lost their moral sense as to be speculating in these gambling stocks and making the lax payers'con tribute to their fabulous dividends, let their who have moral sense enough to perceive the true na ture of the speculation, call upon them to resign. Present Position of Schnnr, Trum bull, Ponton, and Kuuiuer. Washington, Feb. 9. —The revela tions that have demoralised the Re publican ranks in both branches of Congress this wiuter, have worked a curious change in the allidude of the majority towards the Liberals who were treated so coldlv at the begin ning of the session. Especially is this -.he case in the Senate, w here the vic torious party formally ostracised the Liberals at that time. The half-doz en Senators who began the fight in i their own party against the Adminis tration aud its corruptions last sum mer were given to understand that j they must take a back seat aud sing Muall in tne future. But during the * past month the manifestations of this •pirit have rapidly decreased, and to • day Messrs. Schurz and Trumbull and Kenton are treated with a warmth oi manner by Morton and Sherman and j others which contrasts strongly with i the studied hauteur which these wor thies assumed in December. The demoralization that has resulted from the Credit Mobilier scandal has com pletely broken down the barriers which were meant to prevent the Lib erals {from further opportunities to, wield iutlueuce in the Senate. The ; change in the manners of Messrs. Mor : ton, Conkling, Sherman, aud Anthonv toward Stows. Scburtz, Trumbull, uud Feutou is plaiuly noticeable in the galleries, and is felt by the Liber- 1 als themselves, who, during the tioan jcialaud other important .discussions of the past week, Lave begun to par ticipate more activity in tho Senato rial deliberations. The fact is that these Radical Senators are so disgust ed with the revelations of their Kadi-, cal brethcrn that they are glad to take an honest man by the hand wherever they can find him. Mr. j Sumner, not being able to go to the Seuate, docs not have a share in this, but in bis library he notes with no lit tle interest the changing relations be tween his set and the paltry crowd who degraded him in theJSenate. Such a case us that of Pomeroy's, for in stance, has a good deal of interest to him. During the war and up to 1869 Pomeroy was a warm supporter of 1 Mr. Sumner in all that he said and did in tho Senate. All this time, however, he was getting his arm deep er and deeper into the treasury, and when the word of command came from the White House that Sumner must be degraded from his chairman ship of the Foreign Relations Com mittee, Pomeroy clung to his patron age, which was the reward of those who went against Sumner, and not only spoke and voted against him in the caucus, but openly boasted of it in public. Now the reverend Mr. Pomeroy has gone to the bad, and Mr. Sumner contemplates with a grim satisfaction the exposure of another corruptionist in the ranks of his Sena torial enemies. The Cause of (JOT. Geary* Death. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 10. —The post-mortem examination of the body of Gov. Geary discovered no patholo gical lesion of any organ, and the con clusion arrived at was that he died of syncope caused by nervous prostration, the result of overwork and malarial cacocxy. His brain weighed fifty-six and a half ounces, which is considered rcmarkbly large, as the largest brain on record weighed sixty-three ounces. Tbc contest over the Greeley will, or wills rather, is at length ended, Sur rogate Coffin of Westchester county having dcaided that the first instru ment —the one executed in 1871 — should be admitted to probate, and an order to that effect has been made The understanding is that the various parties to whom bequests are made in that will have severally waived or withdrawn their claims, so that the two daughters will inherit the undivi ded estate. If this be so, then the re- Bult is one upon which all parties are to he congratulated. An important scheme was introdu ced in Congress, to wit: for the con struction of a pneumatic tube from New York to Chicago for carrying freight. This is a mammoth under taking—nevertheless, those competent to judge aver that if successfully car ried cut, it will pay Ihe projectors. The town of San Vicento, in the Re public of Salvador, has been destroy ed by an earthquake. The houses were demolishep, but no lives lost. DUtructlve Fir* at 1) roue Tyrone February 13. —11. H.

COLFAX'S DEFENSE His Accuuot of the 11,200 Deposit— A Fruitless Crow-Examination of Mr. Amee—Weight of Mr. Colfax's Story—The Evidence Against Him 1 [By Telegraph to tho TribunaJ Washington, Keb. ll.—Mr. ilaleopencd Mr. Coifs*'* defense by a long cross-ex amination of Mr. Ames. He began to go .over his wktle testimony, not confining himself that concerning Mr. Colfax, for tbe purpose of involving Mr. Amos in con tradiction, and pressing every possible flaw in hi* testimony, however trifling. Judge Poland, who hat been s pr.digy of patioace and good nature throughout the tedious investigation, fairly out of hu mor at this, stopped Mr. liale severs; limes, saying that the Committee had Mr. Amos' evidence bofore them, and could jndge fer themselves as to whether it war . contradictory. At one time he taid sharp ly : "Wo are having a great deal of sense less chatter here ;" and at another, wheUj Mr. Clark, who sat at Mr. Ames' elbow throughout and acted a* his lawyer, gut into a controversy with Mr. Hale, he 1 threatened to have tbeni both put out of the roam. lie and the other committeemen w ere , clearly out of all patience with the two lawyers, and believed thsl the more they ' were allowed to talk the lest cleat the case weuld become. Mr. Hale made noth , ing cut of Ames in the course of two 'hour* 1 cross-examination. It did not trouble Mr. Ames at all to have his first statement compared with his subsequent more explicit testimony. He explained all discrepancies by saying he had not time to refresh his memory when he made the first statement, and that he was then willing to believe what Mr. Colfax and the others said, and was anxious to let them off as easy he could. Mr. Hale's first witness for the defense was Mesea Dillon, tho cashier ofßergeant at-Arms Urday. His evidence sounded very much as if it had been cooked up for tho emergency. In his previous testimo ny he had said that ho had no recollec tion of having paid the $1,200 check marked "S. C.," and did not knew to whom he had paid it. Now bo testified that he bad an indistinction, or rather a strong impression, that Mr. Ames had got the money on it himself. Ho would not twear that the he bad, however. He taid be bad suggested to Mr. Ames, yes terday, that he might have got the check cashed himself, and that Mr. Amos re plied, "Very likely.,' By this time it was about 6 o'clock, and the tired Com mittee adjourned for dinner. They met again at 7 in tho evening. Mr. Colfax made a speech in hi! own de fense, in which he brought in a great deal of irrelevant matter about bis business af fairs. He had at last, however, a theory lo account for tho deposit of f 1,200 in cur rency in the First National Bank of Washington, on June 22, 186tt, two days after Mr. Amos testified that he gave him a chsek on the Bergcant-at-Arms for that exact sum. It weuld have been wiser il he bad accounted for this de|>osit before, but his explanation was better Iste than sever. liis statement, divested of the |suporflu oua verbiages with which ho clothed it, and the elaborate description of petty de tails accompanying it, was that he receiv ed 9200 of the amount freui his fatber-in law, Mr. Matthews, who owed him for money lent to buy a plane. The piano was purchased, Mr. Col (ax said, at 80 per cent below tho regular price, becauso the Messrs. Stein way were glad to have one in bis house, and thst the remaining SI,OOO was sent him about the middle of June, 1868, by Geo. F. Nesbitt, a wealthy prin ter and stationer in New-York, as a con fidential political contribution. Tho money came in the shape ft a SIOOO bill, inclosed in a letter. Mr. Nesbitt had since died, Mr. Colfax said, and his execu tor could find no account among his papers of this payment. The letter came when Mr Colfax was at the breakfast tabic and WM opened and the money ex hibited In tfip presence of hi* mother, since dead, his sister, apd I?is father-in law, saying that it came just in time to pay a demand on him from the Campaign Committee in Indiana. He deposited the SI,OOO in the bank with the S2OO received [from Mr. Matthews, and soon after -er>t a draf| to Indiana for SI,OOO. { Mr. Matthews was put on stand to eon |Ann Mr. Colfax's statement about the sl.l*oauti the letter from XesblU.

This was the whole of Mr. Colfax's de fence. Beside hi* own •tatement, it con sisted, of the testimony ot two member* of his family that he took a SI,UM bill out of a letter and showed it to him about the time he de|asited the $1,01)1) in the bank. Mr. Ames' testimony remains uuiinpeacb ed, fortified by the entries on hi* memo randum book, the check on the Sergeant at-Arm* payable to "S. C.," and the, coin cidriice of dale* and amounts between it and the deposit by Mr. Colfax in the bauk. If Mr. Colfax's explanation is true, he it the victim of a train of circumstantial evidence almost unparalleled in judicial history, and besides of a criminal design on the part of Mr. Antes to invelve him unjustly in the Credit Mobilier business w Inch must ha*• been conceived in 106* and persisted in ever since, and which alone could have induced Mr. Ame* to make the catrie* he exhibited to-day in hit memorandum book.

I d not hetilate U> venture the assertion that not only in India, but nowhere else in •II (sod's earth, can a rational being be found who can bring himself to acknowl edge the divinity ofs stick, or a monkey or a stone, with en ugly imege carved upon it. Ask them and tlicy will tall you again and again, either that this image is only to tlx (Tie attention, or that the Divine Presence cones down into it whilst they worship Speaking from the knowledge 1 now have, 1 will venture to say, that if many of the missionaries to India had . studied this subject ef Idolatry as careful ly as they might have done and should have done, their letters and books which they have sent back to the christian world would have been of >(uile a different char acter. A very little honest investigation would have discovered to them that no Hindoo prostrates himself hi fore his idol, in the belief that this dumb thing is tied ; but only as the external outward tangible representation of that which is invisible to . mortal eye. This idol-worship, there. 1 , think is not the worst feature of the Hin doo religion, bad and debasing as it un doubtedly is. Their polytheism u worse. It must ever be the part of the christian | church to defeud betore this men and gold and irnago-wonhipirig world of oura, the command of (Jod "Tbou shall not make un -1 to thee any graven images ' die., and yul i 1 know that there are devout worshipers i in the Kornish church for instance-who . worship (iod in the beauty of holiness, though they have images mixed up with > their devotions, and so if these deluded i Hindoos could be brought to renounce , their insane belief in their three hundred and thirty-three million* of gods and come back to the simple monotheistic faith ot their ancestor*, their worship of images f would likely be seen to be the least objec tionable of their religious system But, alas, they have "lords many and gods ' many. ' But the werst feature of the Hindoo re ligion,—the crying evil—the crowning ini quity— i caste. This, 1 believe, is the worst evil that man, cooperating with the devil, ever established en earth. This is almu*l the sole difficulty of christianizing India. It is India's curse; the mainspring cf hatred, misrepresentation and Jeludcn. - It binds them all as with fetters of iron, from the haughty Brahmin to the misera ble Madigo who lives on carrion and bur > rows in the ground like a beast. This is ■ what retards our work so. There arc . thousands of UraLmins in ludia to-day, who are intellectually convinced of the ' truth of Christianity and who would em ' brace it at once if it were not for the aw ful , consequences of breaking their caste. But w hen a caste man becomes a christian he J is regarded by his friends as morally and ' socially dead forever. The cectuiouies i for the dead are performed. His wife and r children shrink from him at from a mon ster and leave him. Not a tnan of his c aste will receive him unto hi* house, give him • a crust to eat, or a cup of cold water. If t he were lo dip a cup of water froui a well from which hit caste draw, that well would be defiled and the watar ever unfit for use. His awn parents thrust bioi from their door, lie becomes, in short, an ob ject of abhorrence; be is cast out as a lep . er; and thenceforth is regarded as dead. Oh I it is an accursed thing, 1 hale it with ' a perfect hatred. It makes me mad te talk about it, I can hardly ever talk to the 0 people upon this subject without making a tool of mvself, and this caste feeling is not L . only confined to the Brahmin caste but on ! down through the various grades of doceiit " lo the vilest I'ariah. Byway of illustra . lion we hava among our christian con- vert* from the Mall and Madiga caste. ' The Mala t are. if anything, (port debased . and ignorant than the Madigas, but Uiey are considered the superior caste. Now ' in some of our out-ftatlons these wretched Malas, though they are as debased and vile as the brute beasts that perish, will 1 yet refuse to take the Lord's Supper in company with the Madiga t because, for ) sooth, they would be defiled I Upon my ' j soul, if the subject was not so serious, 1 t : could often laugh the poor wrelehe. to e I scorn, and yet I can tell you, lest my de scription discourage you, that the terrible r thing is giving way. It is slow .work, but , Christianity is surely progressing toward . the final destination of ih unholy thing. • Would that f might live to see that day ; but that I can hardly expect to do. 1 Our work is going forward- We are > making many convert* from idolatry. t Ilow many ot them ever coma to under stand the spiritual meaning of our divine religion, and (bus become true followers of 1 the l.'.rd Jesus, it would be diffieult to tell. • But of some at least. lam assured. When there is but little, little is expected ; and 1 think the loving Savior will not expect much frem these people, and so we an working on. hoping that in the day when "He shall come U make up his Jewels,'' many of these poor, ignorant ones may be found in his hkeace*. Referring to myself, I may say, that 1 • hate proved quite equal to everything 1 y have mt fu fr. Mr health as a genera) thing has been good. When I first came, ' I was tarribly afflicted with boils, but 1 ■ have got aver them. Boils are tha very common torment of now comers in India. I arrived here just at the worst possible ' season of the year—during the hot season. 1 1 got through it somehow, hut not without a good deal of groaning, jawing, arid ill-no ' ture. Were it not Cor the hot season India • would not be such a very undesirable place t lire Mlr qlj. As it u I don't think it ' more than about ohe'balf Its bad u pravel -1 or*, newspapers, and book* always make it • The weather now is delightful beyond de- I scription. Never in my life did I enjoy ' such delightful, balmy days a* these. At 1 no time ot the year is it safe to expose ' vounelf to the iud during the middle of iiay, hut the. nights snd evenings and morning, for about *ix months in the year are glorious. As I write you, you are no i doubt huddled around the stove, or clm ' about your basis**, b th year ear* tied up and great coat en. Hero my doors and window* are wide open, the grass is waiv ing in the compound; the gatden is bloom ing with roses and pinks and marigolds, and nature wears the aspect of June in America. For the Reporter. LICENSE. Mr. Editor.—At last we have a move in the right direction—the sovereign |x>oplo are te decide the question of license or no license. I sgree with your correspondent E. S. G. that this "question directly inter ests every citixen of pur country," snd like him 1 consider the Temperance cause a glorious one, but unlike him, shsll vote to make iSiive, while ho votes to kill it. I believe the enlightened sentiment ef the people will put down a system which is a disgrace to the age in which we live. Let us look at it in a financial view. The trial of the man who killed Rider, while under the influence of Strychnine whiskey, eoqt our couuty one thousand dollars. His sentence is 7 years in the Penitentiary at a cost of f-KJU per year. Making altogeth er the sum of $3,100, that the hardworking tax payers of our county pay as the result of license. The revenue derived from li quor license, ia Centre county amounts to SOOO a year, which goes into the slate Treasury ; so not s single dollar goes into tho county Treasury, but msny thousands out under tho working of the liconse sys tem. A large majority of criminal cases boforo our courts sto directly or indiroctly the result of whiskey. Abolish license, and thus remove the tcmpstion to drink and you will be able to try all cases in court in two wocks in each year and thus save very much of the enormous county taxes we aro now paying. In Potter coun ty they have bad no licensed taverns or sa loons for many years, and a gentleman from that county writes, that they have no uso for a aistriet attorney, as his occupa tion is gone linco whiskey is dead. He states also that the hotels in their county are inCurrior to none in the stale, and are kept on strictly temperance principcls, and the charges the same as elsewhere, where King alcohol still sits enthroned. The selling of liquor must be good or bad i —right or wrong. Let me ask you, Mr. I Editor, what good result* have you seen, right at home from the sale of intoxicating drink*. How many of your fellow towns- 1 tneu bave been benefited by it ? Are they , better neighbors* husband*, and parents ? What equivalent do they get for the mon- | •J they spend at thq bar ?in sh drt, has it'. been a blasting or a curie to you. Lot tha alighted prospects, blasted hopes, and 1 may*add, blackened characters, of 100 many of those who hava been anJ still are, the customers of the place, answer. The tears, the heart-ache* and woe* unutterable of the families of the drunkard who can tell; But woe alo to "him that ghost hi* neighbors drink, that putte.t thy bottle to him and makesl him drunksn also." One day ho that sells a* well a* ho that buy* tho accursed thing will find, that at "the last it Inlet h liko a serpent and sliiiyellt like an adder." How very naively the yaung tuau of the Watchman prefaces the "Declaration of Inlemperam e" of our ho tel! keeper*. But for hi* unaffected sim plicity no one would have suspected thai > • tbe design wa to influence or coerce vo ter* By some it might have been consid ered mere modetty if they would have withheld their manifest until alter the • election. -Should the election result against license as 1 sincerely believe it will, i [ our liberal lend lords can either conclude' i thai "discretion i* the better part of valor," i ' and continue to "entertain man and beast," , at the old prices, or if they are not willing to do so, the "public may notify them in ( return, that they can be dispensed with, ' | and other men take their plate*. || II Anal*. i Movement of Atnadt-ua.
