tur tour is andthe JLntcs ion-
- cerntng • Taverns* '■;
Mr. Editor!—Much is said at the present;
time of, the statutes now in force in our Com
monwealth regulating the retail, of ardent
spirits;—some deeming them troublesome
und severe, and others thinking them . quite
insufficient to guard the public.interests;—
For ourselves,-wo think if the retail traffic
in Jiquor is to be legalized ut all, the statutes
jur they now stand, are about as good as
could bo devised. j
v Incenses to sell ardent spirjfs, do appre
hend had their-origin in„tho ideas, — -frit,
that such drinks were necessary for travel-
Iqrs. and tecond, (hat the traffic involved
danger. While the last idea has acquired
strength, and has become perfectly obvious
even to the retailerJiimself,- the first is be
ginning to bo as universally questioned.—
Even those who .furnish it to others-know
that-the less they use themselves the better. 1
That the idea of danger has been all along
in the miuda of our legislators, becomes evi
dent by looking at the statutes regulating
the traffic. In theactof 1.834, among others
arc found the following restrictions:—
1. No tavern keeper or retailer is allowed
to encourage any games either of address or
hazard, cock fighting, horse racing, or the
like; or to furnish any spirits, wine, beer; or
cider to persons assembled for such purpo
ses. (Se'ci IS._)
2. No tavern keeper or retailer is allowed
to permit any kind of game, either of ad
dress or hazard,, on his premises. (Sec. 19S)
8. No tavern keeper is allowed even to
harbuc or entertains minor, apprentice or
tervant, knowing him to be such. (Sec. 21.)
4. No tavern keeper can collect a debt
contracted for liquor of any kind. (Sec. 22.)‘
t 5, No, person is .permitted to keep a tav
ern or tb rct&il liquor without-a license.—
(Seir) 24, ‘ "
the nct'is:—*‘l(.
any innkeeper or tavern keeper 'shafube eou
viefed of any offence not mentioned in this
.•act, or sbali knowingly suffer drunkenness,
riot, of other disorderly conduct in bis house,
or shall ifisnbey any of (he provisions of this
act, it shall be lawful for the court which
.granted the license, in their discretion, to,
revoke the same, and such revocation shall
■ be entered on record, and the license shall
thereupon cease and determine.” (Sec. 2r.)
The penalties attached to these several of
fences are, —fines, (from three dollars to one
hundred,) loss of debts, forfeiture of license,
or the being, rendered incapable of ever after
receiving a license to keep a tavern within
this Commonwealth.—As to what is the du
ty of good citizens, iVlien they know, and
. can make it appear, that.these statutes have
been violated, it is not necessary that we
should speak; and when this duty is perform
ed, the action of the court will doubtless
meet their expectations. -
But we wish specially to call attention,at
this time, to the guards interposed by our
statutes-against tho granting of licenses to
improper persons, and the opening of taverns
in improper places.
Sec. 4. "No court shall grant n license to
any person to keep an inn or tavern, except
upon a certificate in writing, signed by at
least twelve reputable citizens of the ward,
■ borough or township, in which such inn -or
tavern is proposed “to be kept;' setting forth
that such inn or tavern is necessary to ac
commodate the public and entertain strang
ers and travellers, and that such person is
«f good repute fur honesty and temperance,
and is well provided with house room and
conveniences for the accommodation ■ Of
strangers and travellers.”
Sec. 5. "No court shall license any per
son to keep an inn or tavern, unless from
tho petition- or-certificate, dr from their own
knowledge, or upon evidence sought for and
obtained, they shall be satisfied.of the fitness
of-the person applying, and of (lie sufficien
cy,of the accommodations, aforesaid,”
We beg leave to call the attention of yodr
readers to the following particulars connect
ed with these two sections,
I. Though no court can grant a license
without the certificate of twelve men, the
statute does not require of. them that, the li
cense shall be granted on.sUch certificate.—
The responsibility is here thrown upon the
jpdges; and for (he plain reason, as we sup
pose, that they are men whose integrity
ought to be safely relied upon.
. 2. The court may know, (hat the twelve
men who sign tho certificate, are nut all “re
putable citizens.” . ,
■3. Though these signers may be what, is
usually understood by reputable men; the
court may “be satisfied, from their own
knowledge that the inn or tavern petition-'
ed for, is not “necessary to accommodate
the public and entertain strangers and tra
- vellers.”
4. Tho Court may "be satisfied, from their
own knowledge” that the person petitioning
- - is not "of good repute for honesty and tem
perance;” on
3. That .lie is not "well ’provided with
house room and convenienses for (he accom
modation ofStrajngers and travellers.” ■
- In any of these last four- cases, it most
clearly appears, that the court are not only
■ not required to grant the license, but.that
. they cannot grant it,.without betraying the
trust confided to . them. Where the court
havpiperspnal knowledge, the responsibility
most unquestionably rests with them; nor
could they, if they would, by any sophistry
' shuffle it off upon the signers of the, certifir
cute. :■ This certificate was intended doubt
'lets as to additional guard, not certainly by
‘v- j
transferring the responsibility r.from this
judges to twelve irresponsible min, but by
furnishing tho court with infoVmation in
those-eases: to which their* personal know
ledge-does hot extend. By the language of
the-Sth section already quoted, the court are
themselves "to be satisfied?? on the question.
The la wof 1841, requiring the publication
Uf’the certificate, imposes another guard of
this same kind.' This notice of mure than
three - weeks enables the court to become
thus "satisfied” on. the question of the ne
cessity of the tavern petitioned for, and of
the character of the'petitioner. And except
in rare cases, the public cannot feel that the
responsible, trust confided to the court by
the statutes has been faithfully fulfilled, if
the petitions of improper persons, or for tav
erns where they are riot needed, are grant
ed. »
Out this law of 1841aIso imposes obliga
tions on every good citizen, whenever he
secs by the public notice that a license is to
be applied for by an improper person, or for
a tavern where it is not needed. And if
our citizens are not willing to take the re
sponsibility of remonstrating before , the
court, they may charge themselves rather
than the court, with neglect of duty and dis
regard for the public good. At any rate, till
the court has slighted their remonstrances,
they should be the last ones to complain of
any deficiency in our laws.
Even the keepers of
and hotels arenotless.interested than others
in having the spirit of these statutes strictly
observed.
The writer of this article would not con
ceal the fact, that he would prefer to have
all our public houses conducted on temper-,
ane'e principles; but he. would not have this
by compulsion. And while our statutes re
main as they are, all that we would wish, is
to have them strictly observed. And in con
clusion we would inquire, whether.the spirit
of. our statutes does not demand, that the
twelve men sighing the certificatgjpf the.ap-j
men, and that there should be no evidence
of collusion between them arid the petition
er, as well as that the; should be in the com
mon acceptation of the term "reputable”?
Otherwise, any twelve men in a ward, bo
rough or township; though all distillers,
wholesale dealers, owners of tavern stands,-
or even tenants oLUnillords,—provided on
ly they-are “reputable citizens,” could force
upon the community in which they live, any
number of taverns.- Nor is this the worst.
-Unless the judges are at liberty to inquire
into this matter, or to make use of the know
ledge they have, —thirteen men, all Tavern
keepers, in any ward, borough, or-township,
could secure to each other the necessary cer
tificate to be presented to the court, without
application to any other person/ These, it
is true, are extreme cases; but .they show
most conclusively, that on the firmness and
integrity of .our courts, rests our chief secu
rity in regard to this dangerous traffic,
However our courts shall construe their
duties arising out of these statutes, it is pro
per.forall concerned to understand, that just
in proportions the signers of the certificates
of those who apply (or tavern licenses shall
be men of acknowledged reputation, and
shall be seen to be.entirely disinterested in
the business, will the public be satisfied that
the taverns licensed are needed for the pub
lic accommodation, and the men who. keep
them arc deserving of public confidence.
In this last remark we have stated only a
truth, which would,have been 'equally true
had it not been stated; and it is a truth in
> which the keepers of our public houses are
, themselves obviously more interested than
I any other men.
ONE®F THE PEOPLE.
Cumberland Co. Dec. 20, 1841. *
ISciwt of the Secretdryof IfVir.
The Madisonian of Saturday, week, contains
tlie “Report of the Secretary of War” which i
accompanied the President’s Message.-
From this Report wa make the following
synopsis:
NUMBER OF TROOPS.—The whole
number of troops /now in service, is ten
thousand six hundred and ninety-four: con
sisting of seven hundred and twenty-eight
commissioned- officers,-and~nine-thousand
nine hundred and sixty-sis noncommission
ed officers, inusicians and privates. ’ -The
aggregate exceeds the number specified in
the report of 1840, by one hundred; and
twenty-four. Of the whole number, nine
thousand eight hundred and eighty-two are
reported as. present, and the residue, eight
hundred and twelve, are absent or sick; of
whom, four hundred and forty-seven are ab
sent on detached service. To complete the
organization of the Army eighteen hundred
and thirty-eight recruits are required. ■
Daring the past year -the whole number
recruited was four thousand nine hundred
and twenty-two.
The number of deserters, within the year,
as. compared with the number enlisted, has
largely diminished.
On the western frontier, the Indians have
been kept from wars among themselves, and
, from hostile acta against ouf citizens.
■ On the northern frontier, the .presence of
the troops .has. been, and, doubtless, .will
continue to be, of eminent service in preser
ving "the peaceful relations of the country
with the adjacen t territories of Great Britain.
At the northeast, the small fore? stationed
near the disputed boundary line seems re
■ quired for the. same purpose. -
The last advices from Florida, confirm the
; expectation of a speedy and successful re
i dull to the campaign. ■« ~ . ;
: Some suggestions of 4 the -commanding
. General; respecting officers holding appoint
, ments at. the same time, both in the line and
in tlie stnft - , with the right of .promotion in
; eachiyiiid respecting the inequality'af. : pay
% between ’officers of the jsainc grgde, in .the
• different branches of 'a J re. ; reebra
r mended by tha
An increase'of the army by, two addition
al regiments is recommended as necessary
to. malt the Torts," posts and fortifications on
our inland and maritime frontiers.
The defences of the country are .divided
into threadistinct heads or divisions. First,
for the protection of the Western frontier
against Indian hostilities. Second, precau
tions against aggressions from the colonial
possessions of foreign powers in, our vicinity
at (he north; and third, the defence of our
maritime frontier.
Iri regard to the first division, the Secre
tary says, “it is indispensable that a chain
of posts should be established from the Coun
cil Bluffs to the.,mouth of river,
so as to command the avenues by which the
Indians pass from the north to the south;
and at the same time, maintain a communi
cation with the,territories belonging to us on
the Pacific.”. 1
As respects the second (the northern fron-
tier he says,
“Naval forces on the lakes undoubtedly
afford our chief reliance for defence and ol
fence. To furnish them shelter from tem
pests, the harbors must be, enlarged and
rendered accessible; arid to protect them and
their supplies, as well as the property and
lives of our citizens from an enemy, those
harbors and the most important of the straits
dan rivers connecting the 'lakes should be
fortified.”
“Fort Niagara has been reported ready
for armament, and a company lias been or
dered to garrison it. So much has already
been done at F.ori Oswego, ns to justify the
belief that, ht the end of (he season, it-will
be in a condition for effective,service.- - Un
der the appropriations made in September
last, for the defensive works at Detroit,
Buffalo, and the outlet of Lake Champlain,
meads have been taken to select sites .fur
their construction, which will be commenced
as soon as the titles to those sites shall be
secured.”
JFhe third division .(those relating to our
maratime frontier) the Secretary says “pre
sents n subject of deep interest.” A board
of engineers was organized in 1816, and has
cantinued.iti existence ever sincc,_to which
was specially assigned the.duty of preparing
a general system of defence for the seaboard;
It made-personal examination'of every har;_-
few- in East'Fiorula) accessible to.seagoing
vessels, Deports of progrcss dinve been
made,at; various .times, and also two sum
mary reports were sent to Congress 'descri
bing "the system briefly in its application to
the several parts of the coast. But the re
port made in May, 18dO, in pursuance of a
resolution of the House of Representatives,
and which contains a very full view of the
system in a brief compass and geographically
arranged', met ivith the r most favor"and'may
now be considered the better policy of the
country. The elements of that system are.
first, naval forces; second, fortifications; and
third, interior communication. On each of
these branches, the Secretary dwells at
length. The report states that the arniancnt
of fortifications and forts will be “steadily
and vigorously piirsued.” Accompanying
the report to Congress is a plan for a national
foundry for cannon. The Secretary speaks
in terms of high commendation of (he use
fulness of'the Military Academy at West
Point, but suggests some improvements as
recommended byj the Boat'd of Visitors, —
The report of tlie. services and usefulness of
Topographical .Engineers, is represented ns
affording- the greatest satisfaction. After
stating the different treaties ivhich have been
made with different tribes of Indians, re
gretting that his information in respect to
the condition of the Indian schools is scanty
and imperfect, he concludes with the fol
lowing:
“The condition of the accounts of tlie dis
bursing agents demands prompt attention.
There appear to be large balances against
some of those agents, who are; supposed to
be entitled to credits.of equal amounts fur
expenditures, but winch credits cannot be
allowed under existing laws, in consequence
of the sums thus expended being taken from
other funds. Some law like that suggested
by the-Commissioner, authorizingtransfers
of appropriations, seems indispensable; and
tlie interest of the Government, as well as
of the agents, requires that it should be pass
ed as speedily.as possible.”
- Large atcd Systematic Forgeries.- 1
Much to the astonishment of the gentleman ,
whose respectable name has been used, as
also of the, officers of the bank, it was ascer
tained on Wednesday that numerous and
extensive forgeries had been committed on
several of the banks of this city by person!
who heretofore had borne an unsullied rep-'
utation in the commercial .world. It ap
pears that the. endorsements on these notes
of the amounts of $5OOO, of $3OOO and,of
$2OOO, purporting to,have been.endorsed by
Mr. John Johnson, of the firm of Messrs.
.Boorman & Johnson, and which had been
discounted by the National Bank of this
city at different dates for Messrs. Kirk and
Johnson—were forgeries.
It appeared from the statements lhadc,
that John Johnson had been in the habit of
endorsing the notes of Kirk & Johnson,
commission merchants of IST Front street,
a house in good repute, and the members of
which were John G, Kirk and George John
son, jr.—:and that one or the other, or both,
of this last nanied firm had availed them
selves of the facilties thus afforded them fn
forge and, counterfeit filename of-Mr. John
Johnson, of the firm of Boorman & Johnson,
as endorsements to their, notes, which from
the unexceptionable character of the paper
were discounted - without difficulty. The
forgeries, however, were doomed''to see the
light, fur as some of the notes.thus purport
ing to be endorsed, were not,.paid at matu-
Mr. John .Johnson became acquainted
with' the fact at the National Bank;.and the
endorsements of the three botes,-.amounting
to $i0;000, b% forgeries as also
others that have beenqiaVil. Inconsequence'
of this discovery. Mr. Johnson having>made
affidavit of the forgery of his signature, and
Mr, James Gallatin, President of the Na
tional Dank, haying also- made affidavit
before-Judge North on Wednesday evening,
that magistrate issued' his warrant for the
;• arrest of Mr. George Johnson, jr., of the
! firm of Kirk & Johnson, of \Sf Front street
and tie was arrested at a lute hour of that,
night; at his house. 1J Qrand street, by of-;
fleers]Rhwyer and McG'rath. and coininilted
! to prison for examination,'. Mr. Kirk could
: not be found by. the officers up to a late
hour oh ThorßdayJe jeni ng.
■ It was stated by one of the I ' Judges, that
other forgeries of the- same * name, by the
person or persons above been
discovered to the omourftuf ©lB,OOO on the
Butchers’ ahd Druvcis’ Bank; fori a corisid
erable su ra, also on the Bank of-America —
besides on some ot!i_cr. Banks— the whole a
mounfing to about” 855,00 t). Both Mr.
George Johnson, jr., and his partper, Mr.
Kirk,, were held in high repute prior to the
discovery of these transactions which is al
leged have been going on for (hree.years or
more, by.forging on one bank to make pay
ment for another.—[;N. Y. Espress.J
Another account states that on Thursday,
Mr. Kerr' offered to a broker a note of his
firm for 85000, purporting to he endorsed,
}>y John -Johnson—this Was-declined, but
with an intimation that a note for a smaller
amount, endorsed by the the house.instead
of one of its partners, would he bought.—
Accoidingly Mr. Kirk/soon .returned with
a note for three thousand dollars, endorsed
by Boorman, Johnson & Co. which he was
told to leave and cull for theTnuney in an
hour. 'Meanwhile the note was sent to
Boormam arid Johnson who pronounced it a
forgery. Kirk did not return; and upon
further investigation tile other 1 forgeries
iSere brought' to light.

TO APPRENTICES.
The following judicious remark's are from
an old periodical; As not a few of oof rea
ders are apprentices, we would especially
invite their attention to the hints suggested
below. Nothing will so well recommend
them, as they come upon the stage of active
life, as a well Cultivated and vigorous mint),
connected with industrious. habits: '
When serving your apprenticeship, you
have time and opportunity to stock your
minds with much useful information.' The
only way for a young man to prepare him
self for usefulness, is to devote himself to
study during his leisure hours. First, be
industrious in your business; never complain
that you are obliged to work; —go to it with
alacrity and cheerfulness.'and it will become
a habit which will make.you respected and'
beloved by your master or employer; and
make it your business to see and promote
his interest; by taking care of Ids, you will
learn to take care of your own.
Voung men at the present day are too
fond of getting rid of work; they seek for
easy and lazy employments, and frequently
turn out to be poor miserable vagabonds.—
You must avoid all wishes to live without
labor; labor is a blessing instead of a curse;
it makes men healthy—it procures them
food, clothing, and every other necessary,
and frees them from: the temptations to be
dishonest.
Next to your hand labor, you should be
constant in the labor of your mind. You
can never hope to rise to a respectable stand
ingl in the world without lona, persevering
nffil constant-applicotion -to-studyr —When
you read, you must not tlirow away your
time by rending novels and romances; you
must study:natural and nipral philosophy,
geography, history, and 'the arts. Let not
a large book discourage-you, or a long his
rtory or other work prevent your reading it
through; When you have i;ead,reflectup'-
on the principles and facts you have perus
ed; revolve .them in your mind, and endeav
or to understand their meaning of utility, so
that you may readily apply them to the or
dinary purposes of life. If you do qot un
derstand and comprehend what you read,
yon may as well let reading alone. You
have to’deny yourselves the amusements
enjoyed by,most young men, if you would
prepare yourself fur being a respectable old
man. . -
