LOCAL OPTION VOTE.
The vote on Local Option through
out the State shows a' wide diversity
of public opinion, -and an hnespect ,
edlyiarge niajority for 'imam The
Wahg counties , turd the "aletriete
where the Getnan element prevails,
have voted heavily ftir ,license, whilst
the agricultural counties have de
clared quite as strongly against li
cense. In the cities license carries by
large, majoritiet The testa is, that
a portion of the counties in the State
having voted against the granting of
license, no liquor can be legally Sold,
unless the law is altered or repealed,
ter the next thiee years. This Coun
ty, is one which has thus deelared ;
and the action of the voters' having
now the legailanction of the highest
judicial tribunal of the State, it is
the duty of all good citizens to sub
mit to that division, and to respect
and obey the law. More than this,
it is equally the duty of, every good
citizen to aid in the enforcement of
the laws, whatever mak be his opin
ion of the propriety end necessity
for those enactments, as the only
sure means by which :the peace and
welfare 'of the community and , the
security of the citizen can be main
tained and protected.
The evils of intemperance are too
apparent to be questioned. Wheth
er or not, they can be lessened by
legislative enactments, is a matter
about which there is more difference
of opinion. The vote of the people
of this county will give an opportu
nity, in h Ihnitea seas, to test the
question, for no liquor can be legally
sold here, and the penalties attached
to the illegal traffic, are sufficiently
severe, if -enfc,rced, to deter persons
from the violation of law. We say
'the experiment is because, in
Sullivan county on our Southern
border, and in the-neighboring coun
ties of New York, on the North, li
censed liquor-selling will still be al
lowed.
trponihn -friends and advocatevof
prohibition now falls a heavy respon
sibility. Their apparent victory will
prove to'be a serious disaster to the
cause of temperance and morality,
unless followed by firm and prudent
action. If thelegislation just sanc
tioned by the popular vote becomes
a farce, and .the law a dead letter,
then the cause of temperanceinstes,d
of being strengthened will be serious
ly weakened, by the futility of legis
lative enactments upon the subject,
ox.,by the indisposition or inability
arthe community to enforce and car
ry out the provisions of the law.
M. Mr. Wow, of Union county,
who had committed himself in oppo
sition 'to HERDId'S county scheme,
claims that he was influenced to
change his mind by a letter written
him by a Baptist Minister residing
at Canton. To show how O reliable
this reverend politician's' testimony
is We quote one paragraph , 'from his
letter : •
Mr. Dirtt bin resident of this placo, but goes
against the bill becatute he committed himself
immediately after his nomination by pledging
to oppose division. This, ecured the .support of those opposed to division in the eastern
part (Towanda) of the ootnt,'and procured his
election. This leaves his constituents here
" out in the cold," without even representa
tion as tot , the facts in the cue.
By referring to Mr. Wizurans' let
ter in another column, it will be seen
that Maj. DAETT, by the testimony of
one of the most ardent advocates of
division, has always been opposed to
the new county movement: Further,
while this fact wAs known to the peo
ple of Canton, the delegation from
Canton ,borough and township, and
Alba, presented his name jP the Re
publican Convention. Last year
Maj. Dew= opposed division and was
again presented for nomination by
these people " who are left out in
the cold," and lead his ticket in eve
ry township where the Reverend Mr.
Wxrson says the people are so unan
imously in favor of division. : It is
sad enough to see members of the
legislature stultifying themselves at
the beck of Mr. Hzanic,btit it is a dis
grace for a Minister of the Gospel to
allow _himself to be used by design
ing men to slander a worthy neigh
bor.
i Our neighbor of the Bradford
Argus, has a peculiar propensity for
minding °the.; people's busineas and
a transcendint talent -for for ercrwding
falsehoods into a short paragraph.
In the issue of the 27th, he outdoes
himself when he states " that Mr.

" Owner of that paper (the Rzpowrza)
" recently appeared before a Con

"increase of his wages as Surveyor
" of the Port of Philadelphia, stating
" that they were insufficient.for his
" support, although he draws about
" $5,000 yearly pay for holding this
"office,/ and his family consits of
"himself, wife and daughter. We
" believe, too, this . ' statement f was
"made under oath:"
Mr. GOODRICH has. never been be

hiiiiiked such an increase from Con

It iiirlheriaky believed , with too
zutteih tesiem, that there is little or
ho' reel indePandenes on the part ,
of the politics! press. , . Partisan
journals ass ready cried" and
area misrepresent thivacts of
cal opponente,but cover up or defend
the course, right or wrong, of those
who belong to their own Faked
household: - The folkiiiiug article
from the Surieburg Patriot, is in
such marked contrast to this course
that we take pleasure in transferring
it to our. columns and commending
its fairness and independence: Af.
ter. dealing from the Willibmsport
&zndartf A :Paragraph to the effect
that the republican party is• respon
sible for all the evil legislation of the
present legislature, the Patriot says :
A little closes observatfon of the scene of ac
tion would , doubtless tend to great modify
the views expressed above. If the democrats
in the legislature are powerless for good they
are no means powerless for rill, as the
recordsabundantly testify. An elanlination of
the vote on Minnetina will show who contri
buted the most to the dismemberment of the
democratic comity of Lyoomiag. and who are
moirtex=tible
lobbies to the bad nomi
in the of the canitoL This
reflection is by no means encouraging for the
future prospects of the democratic of i 4
Pimnsyrninia. In view of what is
at Harrisburg earnest appeals should be made
to thedemocracy of the state to revise the list
of the men whom they send here to represent
them instead of seeking to hide the real con
dition of things from the public gaze. No two
or three term rule invented for the benefit of
politicians should prevent them from striking
down the corrupticmist wherever they find him.
Forbearance with the men who betray their
trust and desert their duty is a grevions wrong
to the public. There should be no difficulty in
discovering them by their votes and there
should be no hesitation ip striking them down.
We hope the advice of the Patriot
may be heeded by republicans as
well, as democrats, and that -every
man who has primen himself a
" rooster " during the present session
may be left at home.
THICI I II AIM SOW.
H. N.: Wuzassfs and some of the
other advocates of lizamo's county,
have repeatedly alleged during the
present session , or, the Legislature,
that Maj. DAsTr, previous to his
nomination as ; representative, had .
been an advocate of the new county
movement. The following letter,
written by Mr. WILLIAMS to the North
ern Tier Gazette, just prior to the as
sembly of the convention which
placed Mat. Dxarr in nomination ?
will convince any . Candid man that
his course in oppitsing division is
consistent and honest, and that Mr.
.%r:r.t.Luds is proven'a falsifier
CL ort, Aug. 12, 1871.
Ma. Hoorn :—ln your last imam. you an
nounced the names *of Jessie B. McKean, of
West Burlington, and Maj. Dartt, of Canton, as
candidates for the Legislature. This is as it
should be, and is far preferable to the custom
of traveling the county. I also notice In; some
comments made by you. this language: . "Mut .
the people will want to know where 'the Major
stands upon the countyuestion." lam in a
position to distinctly kn ow the views of every
individual of in prominence in this vicinity,
upon that question. both in the past and at the
present time. and I take this opportunity to
state where the Major's views have been, and
are now upon the new county question, so that
he may go before the people, fully understood.
and without prejudice from that, question.
From the first the Major has been - decidedly.
earnestly and unconipromisinglyoppited to Mr.
gerdic's plan for a new county, always claim
mg it would be ruinous to his pecuniary inter
ells in (kmlon . borough. and nothing but a con
temptil4 small county, tenibly tar-ridded,could
be had at best.
It is alleged, the Major used the county
influence in his canvass with John Van Dyke
This ie.:also, he did not do so. The new coun
ty intinence was never for hini. but to my cer
tain knowledge, it was desicnedlv used without
his knowledze, with a full understanding that
he would repudiate its use if he knew it. And
I also believe that influence did not change the
result. If the Valor is beaten for that tea son
great injustice will have been done him.
Yours 'tespectfully, Wmasims.
Ifir The appropriation bill which
passed through the House so smooth
ly, met a different fate in the Senate.
The appropriation made for the pur
pose of increasing salaries was strick
en out by the Senate Committee,
as' well as several other large sums.
The reductions will meet with gener
al approval, and the Senate Finance
Committee deserve the thanks of the
people for pruning so'vigoursly the
rank appropriations of the House.
The people demand retrenchment
and economy, and will frown upon
any measure tnat even has the least
appearance of extrivagance about it.
Governor Herrneriir is receiving the
raise of even his opponents for the
wisdom and courage he has display

It is thus teen who are responsibilb for the
success of Peter Hcrdict's bill in the boom.
Mr. Herdic's venture now goes over to the
senate where it will be likely to encounter
obstacles of a mach more formidable nature
than those which it experienced in the house.
Whether defeated in the senate or in the exe
cutive chamber it may be safely predicted that
Minnecins, is doomed..
The motives which' actuated the
nineteen republicans' to advocate the
matter, in direct violation of all - the
usual courtesies of legislation, may
be conceived, when common report
at Harrisburg, named the exact price
paid for votes. A more palpable,
unscrupulous attempt to buy a
measure through the Legislature; in
defiance of the wishes of the people
of the section affected, was never be-'
fore tried. So bold . and impudent
was the outrage, that the piess of
the State, generally, has denounced
it, and members, of the Honk, who
suppOrted it, have lost reputation
and standing with their constituents,
because their action gave just
grounds for suspecting that they had
been paid for their votes.
The men who were lobbying and
engineering this measure, are the
same corrupt and notorious rascals
who have for yearibeen infesting the
capitol with their presence. Sena
tor WALLACE has drawn - their por
traits so faithfully, that .ye will in
troduce his picture. . Says the Sena
tor, in a late speech, referring to the
very men who had this Minnequa
matter in charge :
"Day by
.day, when bills of a iinestionable
character are pending, men arese.Cn flitting in
and out of these halls, who ought to be ban•
iabod from the Legislature and the Capitol.
Plying their infamous traffic, they pass with
perfect freedom the barriers that our rule a.
prescribe. Mingling with the representatives
of the people, they drag their slimy way
throughout these halls;contaminating, corrupt !
ing and" degrading all they tohch. 'Dere'
strained they traverse the transcribin g rooms,
and rumor has it that even there the Imprint
- of their foul work may be traced upon the
pages of the record. In our committee rooms.
in the lobbies, at oar desks, in session and out
of session, we can see and recognize these birds
of evil omen—these skilled and trained cor
ruptors ,of the avenues of legit/shell- If the
tender mercies of these huples are to be con
salted my constituents have but slight 'chance
of justice: Against the result that they would
bare I most earnestly protest,"

adj. ..•• on the 10th of April.~ The
of lOal legislation will have
to be dud oft at some - time, but
doubt their being read] so soon as
the 10th. There are quite a number
of Public bills on the calendar which
ought to receive attention, but, pri
vate business before public .seems to
be the rule in legislation, as in the
common affairs of life. Your mem
bers lam assured have their bug
nets well in hand and will be- able,
without doubtittq see their matters
safe! thrWgh, - - Their time has been
so completely absorbed in defending
the integrity of their county from the
dispoiler, that I feared less promi
nent business might be neglected.—
That "rooster " has flapped his
wings for the last time this session
Senators " can't see it." Not one is
known to have expressed a willing.
ness to make its acquaintance. - It is
so ;covered with odium that the sena
i4)r will be sure to be stained that
touches it. Peter and his third ,
House will scarcely appear again at
roll call. So mote it be.
Credit is given to Col. McClure, of
the Senate, for having strangled the
brat of u:mull:La in that bodY.
Without detracting eine iota from
the willingness and kbility of the
Col.'to lend - a hand, but Fib*,
your Senator, was • .and and held
as firm a grasp u ... its throat as
any other man. Ind , without his
direct aid it might , be still , . fkiunder
ing in the Senate,,and ,Timmy DIM
cautiously sticking out his fingers
intimating how much was "in it.'-' _
An act empowering the -courts of
Common Pleas of this , Common
wealth to. grant charters of Incor
poration to Boards of Trade Bas not
yet been reached.
The act to establish an Insurance
Department in this Commonwealth
has become a law and will yield a
revenue of some $350,000 '.to the
State.
The'act to provide for a Board of
Fishery Commissioners for the coil•
struction "of Fishways and for the
protection arid propagation of fish
has also.becouie a law. Mr. Myer
included, in committee, fishways for
the Towanda Dam, but it was ruled
out in the House as endangering the
success of the bill. It will be reached
in time, should theory give way; to
demonbtrated facts.
House bill 830, " An act to provide
fOr a geological and mineralogical
sttrvey of the State," stands On third
reading in the House. It will scarce
ly see daylight through the other end
of the capital.
Mr. Mahon'a border raid bill stands
'on third reading in the House. It
provides for an expenditure of some
three and-a-half millions of dollars
to csompenitate for the damages , done
by . the rebels along the western
border of the State. Its final pas
sage is not looked for. Mr. ' ; Mahon
made a very able speech in its favor,
and many thought that it. was pure
ly out of respect to him, rather than
his bill, that it was allowed to go up
to third reading. Mr. 'Mahon; by
the way, is looked upon as' one of the,
squarest men in'the House. He is
not only a true and intelligent mem
ber, but is proverbial for his inde
pendence.. There is no yielding ex
cept to what he conceives to be right.
It is quite refreshing to hear , him
pitch into the Speaker, sometimes,
when he don't like his rulings. He
is sharp, logical and rapid in *his ut
terances, and yet they are invariably
well -finished and directly to the
point. Members all have confidence
in him for , his undoubted honesty
and integrity, which is the highest
praise that can be bestowed, this be
ing his second or third session.. Re
porters find it difficult to keep pace
whith him, not but what his senten
ces are straight and finished, but ,
from -his rapidity of speaking. The
average speaking is, rated at about
120 words to the minute ; but 'Mr.
Mahon's utterances exceed that by
about 100. There are many slow,
dull speakers, who bother reporters
because they begin a . sentence , and
keep switching off, and the ,reporter,
in watching for his coming out,
sometime loses the fining up. Rut
Mahon drives straight at his mark,
using very few redundancies and few
qualifying words. Upon the whole,
he is a credit to Franklin' county,
notwithstanding their Stumbaughs
and McClures.
Among the clear headed, gentle
manly and industrious members of
tho House near home who - have
looked carefully after the business of
their constituents, and kept them
selves free from the muddles and
entanglements of doubtful legisla
*n, it gives me pleasure to mention
The names of Messrs. Jones, of Sus-
Anehanna, and Brunges,of Wyoming.
Whilst making no pretensions to
oratorical 'display, they possess in
my judgment all the elements neces
sary to stamp, them as. representa
tives of the'true republican type.
They are always to be found at their
desks, laboring in session and out of
session, ani allow nothing to ' escape
their attention affecting public or
private interests. If such inetnbeni
do not weigh sixteen ounces to the
pound, advordupois; I know not
where to look for them in'thiifbody.

air Only two bills have bean pas
settby the Legislation of Illinois .in
a session of eleven weeks. The new
Obnstitution of that State strips the .
Legislature of power to dabble in
matters which - can be or are covered
by general laws, and hence the duty
of lawmakers is by no means labori
ous. A few general :laws, wisely
administered and rigorously enforced
by upright ffudges, are better than
volumes of epvei4 acts passed to
benefit a few persoss at the cost and
detriment of the masses.
