TUE L0c..11. LAW
We tittblith tlaceliere theiaw pfts.s'e4 by
;thist.l.-agislature litqa-Winter a called,, the
atotral Option fartly for the rea
eon that cm: readers may be informed as
to the conditions of it, - and partly because
we haVe. felt'; words to ear, in rela
tion to it. 11 - c gave" our oftinion j some
what briefly en the ,law whelt, was-first
passed. We believed then, and we bare
had no reason to change our :mind:. that
there were no honest temperance motives
in the minds of the framers of that law.
It is well known by the people that a
"Third Party" movement was in progress,
and that long and windy discussions were
had through many of our joUrtials. es
pecially Radical Ones—and we have only
to rerer to'our cotemporary of the .Ifout
roes ReptiNfean for proof=and the bur
den of these discussions on the part of
the political journals was, that it would
injure the prospects of the success of their
party by totally excluding their candi
dates from passing an examination on
thnt point, as the glaring fact presented
it:elf that from the President down al-
moat to - at:panty coroner, an honest, prac
tical temperance teat would defeat them.
All the politicians were awake to the fact
- and something must be done to quiet the
"Prohibitionists," and none have contrib
uted rat s target? for 'this purpose than a
certain clique known as the "whisky
ring." It is r.o news to those who are)
posted that there is and-has beerftfor years
fitwhislay ring, and from the very nature
of things this ring has been clossly allied
with Radical politicians. Hence it became ;
necessary last winter to make a move on
the chess board to chat krnate the men
Tim :we.e agitating the question, that we
must have clear headed temperance men
for our official servants, and this law was
passed as much by the influence of the ;
whiskey ring, es by any other temperance
inflaence, in the hope of §atisfyitio the
demands of these proldhitionistsm the
one hand, and gi fining time to secure the I
defeat of the measure when brought be. ;
fore the people, on the other. We believe
the . - .,msres whose hearts and souls are in I
this work have an hon e st purpose before
then, which is to stay the hand of lean- ,
peranes :ts blig,liting,mpidanni rest den-
course, and God forbid that We should
Lay cr do anything that ;ill in Rill'
nerretardadie onward progress of this re
!mon, but it must be remembered that
when anything of a refor;raatury nature
mamas the phase of "cue bccotnre
a faLatiiiism, and some at the most dirt
ini nave' been c.mnii.tted under
its banner that the world has ever s• en.—
There is no truer manna than aids: that
truth often suffera'more from the Ivitt of
its defender than from the arcliriciim et
it 3 opposers." Deskning men know the
ponce of the people when aroused the:r
• zeal for any just cause, hence it has be- •
come their practice to rise this advantage
and impose upon honest motives to foist
themselves into parer, and Mill out just
er.onth of reform to gain :their point
with just enough tares sown among the
wheat to . olte it ofit, so that they can
pate Largily of their desire fur reform,
. while behind the scene they are secretly
plotting and combiniag to contoass its
defeat. In view of all this, it rutty be well
that calmness, and a thorough in vtotiga
tion of the designs. and effects of all
measures promulgated under the head of
" - reform, aitail be had to prevent if posg
ble the entering of an earls cooler its
cloak. We are cf taw same opinimi that
we race at first, that this law was enacted
...by political leaders, strictly for a party
purposs, and that that purpose has been
tiletaiind if it shall become certain that
thepeople are going to take them at their.
word and vote no license at the March
election, this law will, in our opinion, be
repealed at the coming, meeting of the
Legislatnre, as energetic steps are flirt-slily
being taken, which consist of money, and
the people have been' taught that each
"steps" have a,very "winning way.'
To show conclusively that thb scads of
4es'atiction here sown in this law, and
. every one can see intentionally so, we

During the late political campaign,says
the Harrisharg Patriot, rho administra
tion organs cried "scandal" whenever the
Credit :\lobilier business was mentioned.
That was their way of refuting the charg
es of bribery made by the opposition jun.-
! nals in connection with the great swindle.
It would have been all the same had they
possessed the very best evidence of the
truth of these
- charges. The.editars pos

is firer, thus , journals deem it safe to per
mit their readers to have a peep at the
truth. An investigation with closed doors
has failed to hide the' sorry scandal, and
partisan prejudices of the extremest sort
has not hetin strong enough to pre . tent all
that has escaped those closed doors from
reaching the people. Enough is known
to establish the fact that many millions
of dollars have been filched from the peo
ple through a conspiracy batween mem
bers Qf Congress and the agents of the
Credit Nlohilier. But it is not atiill like
ly that any one will be punished. Indeed,
the ini - estigation has been thus far so coil

the whole matter can he successfully

higher, oilers importations are largely in

have - been "introduced into Engianil ,in
1558. Next,came the use of bituminous
coal, urged with a 13Titst of cold uir. But
it was not mail' 1829 that Neil Son, aii
Englishman, conceived the idea of heat

at the Muirkirk's (urinates. lu that-year
- he obtained a patent. for his'process, and
found that lie could from the slime quan

iron. • His patent made hini - ierY rich ; in
one single case of infringement ho receiv
ed damages of- one hundred and fifty
pounds. lu liiittnethod, however, be used
an extra fire •for heating 'the air of his
blast. In• 1837 the idea of heating . t he air
fur the blast by the gases generated in the
process wa*first practically introduced by
M. Fuber Dufour at Wasserallingen, in
the kingdom of Wurtemburg.
In this country, charcoal was, et first
used universally for smelting :ran, atithra
cite coal being cansidered - unlit for the
purpose. In 1820 an unineeessful attempt
to use it was made at Mauch Chunk. in
j 1823, Fred. IV. Geisehhainer. of Schuyl
kill, obtained a patent fOr the use of the
hot blast with anthracite, and in 1855
produced the first iron made with this
process. In 1341,E. E. 1/efttiold adapted
the consumption of the gaies produced
by the . iiiiielting to the:use of anthracite;
and since then it has become quite getter
