IMMORAL 4 OVERTIMING.
The patron of a newspaper's ad
vertiring columns makes himself res
ponsible in a great degree, not only
legally, but morally, for the notice
which he gives over his name. His
responsibility goes so far, indeed,
that it leaves little upon the shoul
ders of the newspaper publisher, ex
cept to see that his journal is not
made the medium of immortality or
deception. This latter charge be
longs to the publisher and he cannot
rid himself of it. 01 course he is
not always able to detect, iu the ad
vertisements which are offered, every
one whose character is vicious, nor
would it be possible to assure him
self of the honesty of the offers
made by every business advertiser.
In a large majority of cases, we
must leave the accuracy and good
faith of their statements to be vouch
ed for by the names that accompany
them.
But there is a very numerous class
of advertisements continually offer
ed to a newspaper which are evident
ly immoral and intended so to be ;
some of them hinting in the broad
est aud plainest terms at infractions
of human as well as higher laws.
There aro others which are swindles,
aud bear the evidence of their dis
honesty so plainly upon their face
that every intelligent reader marks
them as such at once. Such adver
tisements every respectable journal
ist rejects, and in that category we
include ourselves We believe our
duty iu this respect to be 90 plain
that whether interest agrees or not
we have uniformly refused ail of them.
Only recently one advertiser offered
us some three or tour to be inserted
for a year, the amount of which
would probably have been two hun
dred dollars. They all shared the
same fate and are not found in our
columns
Strange to say, many of our co
temporaries do not seem t) adopt
this plain rule of action. On a cas
ual glance over their pages we find
advertisements in them, whose char
acter is not only doubtful but plainly
and atrociously bad. The horrible
dens in the larger cities where the
laws of God and nature are alike
outraged, and the venders of pois
ons designed to effect the same wick
ed object, boldly hold forth their
propositions. Others, scarcely less
bad, furnish "sealed information,"
etc., etc., aud still others pretend to
tell secrets "no murtals ever knew,"
or "give information of the greatest
importance." All these arc as plain
ly swindles, lies, and deceptions as
though the word was branded upon
them, cud every intelligent person
knows it. How then can any honest
aud conscientious journalist allow
himself to be used as the means by
which such sharpers shall obtain vic
tims ?
The Philadelphia! Ledger, wheu its
present proprietor, Mr. Ohilds, took
hold ot it, contained a large number
of advertisements of the kind we
have indicated, bat Mr. C. met the is
sue fairly and swept them out of the
paper, not to be re-inserted at any
price. The pecuniary loss was con
siderable, but the performance of a
plain duty was far superior in impor
tance. Upon the same principle we
establish oar own business.
fiaT" The Richmond papers are
very much exercised over Senator
Wilson's proposed stumping tour
through the South. The Dispatch
says Mr. Wilson's arguments will
be addressed to men not per
mitted free speech for reply. It adds
that lie can scarcely hope for a pro
pitious hearing or a successful cam
paign Another paper proposes that
prominent Southern men with con
servative vieWn challenge the Mas
sachusetts Senator to a discussion of
the issues of the day, and names
Henry A. Wise, Extra Billy Smith,
and Letcher. The Enquirer has an
article upon accepting the situation,
which concludes with the following
sensible advice : "As there is here
really no room for a practical issue,
let us all, then be content to drop
discussions that cau exist only thro'
the confusion of facts produced by
twisting of words from their proper
meaning, and cultivate that unity of
feeling and effort so necessary in our
condition."
GEN. SHERIDAN'S DISTRICT. —Advices
reached here from Lonisiaua state
that Gen SHERIDAN has, by the effect
oi Lis recent orders, absolutely tied
the Lands of the civil authorites, so
that Gov. WELLS, who, under the
Constitution, has power to make re
movals and appointments in certain
offices, can do nothing without first
obtaining Lis consent. The old po
lice force are retained, but are more
respectful toward Union men and
freedmeu than before. Col THOMAS
ADAMS, MONROE'S Chief of Police, is
continued in that office, although an
effort is being made to secure his re
moval and the appointment of Gen.
SYTHER, formerly Colonel of a colored
regiment, in Lis placu. Prominent
Radicals of New-Orleans will soon
petition SHERIDAN to allow WELLS to
make removals, and thereby flank all
attempts on the part of the ex-rebels
to prevent them by influence at
j Washington.

HABBISBUBO, Pa-, April 15, 1867.
The Legislature adjourned on Thursday
last, and already nearly all the members are
at home, enjoying the pleasures of the fami
ly circle, as well as giving their constituents
an account of their stewardship. Of the
one hundred members of the House, less
than one third will be returned next winter.
A very large number have just closed then
second term, and according to party custom
must give way to others. Of the Senators,
eleven—one-third—have just closed their
Senatorial career, viz: Messrs. Donavau,
James, Sehall, Davis, Randall and Wails,
Democrats. Messrs. Roger, Hall, Haines,
Bigham and Lowry, Republicans. It is not
expected that more than two or three (if
any) of these: will be returned to the Senate.
Of some it may be said "may we never look
upon their like again,"—they were ungrate
ful to their best friends. No one regrets
that their official term is ended.
The Republican State Central Committee I
held a meeting in this city on the 9th inst,
and fixed the 26th of June as the day for
holding the Union State Convention. It
will be held at Williainsport, in Lycoming
county.
Before the adjournment of the Legisla
ture the members of the Senate presented
Speaker Hall with a magnificent chronomo
ter gold watch—a most valuable testimonial.
Among the new bills passed is one to en
able police officers to enforce order, in li
censed houses, and to exterminate unlicensed
traffic. It provides that the keepers of li
censed taverns or eating houses shall, as far
as possible, prevent all manner of disorderly
conduct in or about their premises, and if
necessary call upon an officer for assistance.
No liquor of any description shall be sold or
given to minors, without a written order
from their parents ; neither shall any liquor
be sold or given to an habitual drunkard or
intoxicated individual. No person having
license shall, against the request of a wife,
husband, parent or child, sell, give away, or
dispose of, any strong or spirituous liquors,
wines, ales or beer, to the husband of any
such wife, the wife of any such husband,
parent of any such child, or child of any
such parent. All bars must be closed at not
later than twelve o'clock at night, and shall
not be opened before sunrise in the morning
for the sale of liquor. A conviction for any
such offense shall cause a forfeiture of li
cense. Any sheriff, constable, or police
man is empowered to close up and keep
closed any place where this act is violated,
and arrest the proprietors thereok Said of
ficers shall also arrest any individuals who
may be found intoxicated in any street or
other highway, or in a licensed hotel or res
taurant. Any licensed hotel, or drinking
house keeper who shall sell intoxicating
drinks to any individual to whom it is de
clared by this act to be unlawful to sell,
should be held responsible for Rny damages
that may result from such sale. I have giv
en but a synopsis of the bill, but it is suf
ficient to give the reader a fair conception of
the provisions of the entire act This and
the law recently passed relative to the man
ner of obtaining license should effect quite
a reform in the liquor traffic.
A further supplement to the school law
has been passed. It provides that when a
board of Directors desire a site for a school
house, and cannot secure a suitable location
by agreement with the owners, the said
board, in behalf of the district, may enter
and occupy the land desired. A teachers'
meeting or institute, shall be held at least
once a year, and continue not less than five
days. Any city 01 borough having 10,000
inhabitants, may elect its own Superinten
dent, and shall not be subject to the County
Superintendent. The bill is a good one,
and if its provisions are faithfully enforced,
good will be accomplished by it.
The Governor approved an signed an act
continuing the increased fees of justices of
the peace and constables in Bradford, Sus
qnehanna and Wyoming counties, for one
year, and authorizing the road commission
ers and auditors to receive $1,50 per day
when employed.
There has been no legislation for your
county since the date of ray last.
With the present letter I close my regular
correspondence with the REPOBTEB, and
trust that the letters published have proven
satisfactory to your many readers. Should
nothing prevent, you may. however, occa
sionally hear from REX.
Personal and Political

—Mr. Greeley hag presented an el
egantiy bound copy of his American Conflict
to Governor Geary, who is one of the con
spicuous characters in the scenes so faith
fully described.
SHOCKING CALAMITY.—We alluded, a
day or two since, to a frightful cal
amity that occurred at Gibson, near
Corning, the otbor uiglit. The Jour
nal has these detailed particulars:
About miduigLi f Friday, a small
house at Gibson, occupied by JOHN
PHKNAS, was consumed by fire, and
four persons perished in the flames
viz: Mr. Phenas, and his two sons,
aged sixteen and nineteen years, and
his grand-daughter, aged seven or
eight years. Mr. P. was an old resi
dent of the town, and owing to his
ill health and poverty, the family had
largely subsisted on charity for a
number of years. The house was a
small building near the tow path, a
few rods east ef tli* highway bridge.
The fire is -nnnosed to have caught
from a broken stove plate, under
which was usnailv kept for secur
ity, but which that night had been
displaced, and thus set fire to some
wood or kindlings drying near the
stove. Mr. P. and those above re
ferred to, and his wife and another
grand-daughter, slept in one room in
the rear. He was awaked by the
smoke and roused his wife, and both
sought to awake the other. Mrs. P.
and one girl escaped, passed through
to the only outer door of the house,
past the stove to the front. It is sup
posed that on opening the door of the
sleeping room, the smoke aud flames
rushed in so as to overpower"Mr. P.,
and his sons, as their bodies were
found in different places, as though
they were seeking to find the door,
when overcome by the stifling smoke.
The little girl did not probably awake,
as her face was not burned. Her
body was badty burned, however,and
oue of her limbs burned off' below
the knee. The other bodies were
horribly burned, the upper portion of
the skull of Mr. P., and the breast
bone being entirely consumed, aud
the bauds and feet of ail more or less
burned off.
Dr. MAV, Coroner, field an inquest
on Saturday. The remains of tfie
bodies were placed in two coffins,and
the funeral was attended by a very
large collection of people. This ter
rible calamity, oue to which all peo
ple are liable, the destruction of a
house and family by flames in the
dead hour of night, produced a pro
found sensation in this vicinity.—
Thousands visited the scene Satur
day and Sunday, and none can forget
the horror it inspired.
LUMBER.—During !he past winter,
in the groat forests of this State from
which large supplies of lumber are
annually drawn, immense quantities
were prepared for rafting in the Sus
quehanna and transportation by other
channels of conveyance southward
and eastward. In the districts of
southern New York, adjacent to our
lumber fields, tbe trade has also been
active daring the winter, and it is
anticipated that large quantities of
logs and sawed lumber will be ship
ped thence this spring to market. In
the great pineries of Canada, Michi
gan and Wisconsin, the amount of
lumber got out, and either manufac
tured or ready for manufacturing, is
very large. The amount of lumber
on hand in Chicago, on the first of
January, was larger than ever be
fore since 1858.— Ear. Tel.
