There are many ~worthy landlords, who

possible, and try to conform to the law, but
the great multi2licity of Licences granted
for political and other purposes, and the nu=

to encourage the sale of liquors • secur e

must expect the lawyers to tatri the

however, in- thisAegion believe. that the
Court is influenced, and it was the firm con
viction of Hugh Stevenson, that he could
, not obtain justice, as soon "as he found a cer.
tain party employed against him, and his
case' put off at their instance, that caused
him 'to go out Court and - immediately
shoot himself:
IFOR :1118 urnERl ioTivrAt..l
DEAR BROTRER :—Your Pinegrove cones,
pondent end yourself have both pretty freely
indulged in the use of my name, in connec-
Lion with the wanting of the ,Umbehauer
license by our court at the June Sessions,
and for this cause I claim the right to : be
heard as well in relation to that transaction,
as to the grave charge made by your Pine
,grove Correspondent against the integrity of
our Court.
I care very hide about what may be said
of myself in the public papers o! the day,
provfiledmi conduct meets with my own ap
approval. But when the integrity of our
Courfis aftacked, the public, as well as every
member of the bar practising at that Court,
are deepYinterested in the issue; and it may
not be regarded as presumption in those, at
leeit, to whom reference is made, to speak
of what they do know upon that subject.
It is pretty well known in this communi
tyi that I am not one of the political friends
of H6n. Judge Hegina; that I did not advo
cate his election, but preferred another. And
being in that position, I have been a careful
observer of his Judicial conduct on the bench,
since his election -to that important office,
and I• am constrained to say, (and I am well'
satisfied that the sentiments will be respond
ed to by, all the members of the bar) that
there does not exist - any just 'ground for
charging corrupt motives to him or any oth
er of the members of the Court, in relation
to granting Tavern licenses or any other
matter brought before the Court ; but on the
other hand we, who have the best opportu
nity of knowing, are gratified to think that;
we have in th.e President of our Court an
able lawyer and an honest Judge, and, what
ever
may be his private predilection., he,has
exhibited nothing of lavoriteisru upon the
bench;and any person who has an honestcause
need not Wear the result in his hands, no 1
matter how, humble the advocate or to what
political party he may belong.
I am fully aware of the fact, and it-ts
to be'regretted that it' is so, that an itn
pression has been extensively made amongst
the_people, that in order to have full justice
front Court, the services of F. W. Hugh
es, Esq., must be - secured as counsel. This
is, as evil, and is no doubt as embarrassing
vi the Court as it is unfounded in.lact.—
Whenexer favoriteism of this 'description
exists in any Court, the opposing counsel
will be the first to make the ditiovery, and
the first to 'denounce it.
This- improper impression has arisen not ,
from any action or countenance of the Court-,
but from other causes. The injudicious in
uendoes and insinuations of Mr. Hughes'
!specter friends - , who #ell understand the
importance of such so impression to him,
have contributed largely towards it, whilst
others (such, for instance, as your Pinegrove
correspondent) adopt, their insinuations as
true fur the purpose of grounding their ac
cusations against the Court ;-' and between
both classes of men, many, honest men who
Ihave do evidence or knowledge .upon the
I subject, think that where so mintehMhnid,
1 something must be true:
,_,, -
a--.4espeowsitde lstilieliauer- license, in
rwhich I was concerned, whether correctly
granted or, not, it is rather too small game
for the Court to throw away its integrity
upon. I will vouch for it that it will not:
shorten the vote of the brave General SCOTT
one,yet. If my, old friend Umbehauer should
Make the discovery that his little,isolated
liquor shop should make 'stiehris political
1
revolution in the country as .' Pinegrove"
would attribute to it, he will 'certainly be
down ',upon the party for an office; and I,
for one, would not dislike to see, the Old man
comfortably posted.
But whilst upon the subject of granting
Tavern licenses, I will admit that they are.,
often obtained when they _ought not to be,
and the cause is not so much with the Court
as with the evidence. -The friends of the
cause of Temperance do not seem to com
prehend that Courts act upon evidence and
are bound by it. Remonstrances are not
evidence. All experience has shown that
neither recommendations dor remonstrances
are to be relied upon. Remonstmaces,com
log from á respectable quarter, are alwayr
received by the Court to put tavern keepers
to the proof, and they having a deep interest
in the question generally are. on the alert to
get, the proof, whilst on the other lurid their
opponents generally rest satisfied with the
presentation of a well dratiet=rernonstrance;
and if they do resort to evidence they fail of
their work for want of attention to the sub
ject,and thus the fault rests More frequently
with the opponents of the measure than with
the Courts. , 1
I have said this much because of Th e im- ,
proper attack made upon our Court, and not
out of any hostility to the cause of Tempe
rance ; for I do commend the laudable efforts
of every person engaged in arresting the
progress of Intemperance; but Temperance
men become Irttemperate when they c site ,
officers with corruption, simply beau they ,
have failed to enlist them as zealously n the
cause as themselves.

THE "REGISTER" AND THE COURT.
" I am not the man to decline the consequences
of my mmetples.P—KossurA.
That there should be an expression of
" disaPprobation't and "'disgust, 111 certain
quarters, at she public exposure of the acts
attending the licensing of the Tippling House
ofHtztax• Ustarautttn, and that that "disap
probation" shOuld be " general"—that is to
say, from • the ' SECRETARY down—down
through " the Court," the Regis:er, and even
unto the gasometer—ls just what was hoped
for and expected, and is about as natural as
it is tor water to run down bill.
, " There is a great deal of human flatus in
folks ;" and those who constitute THE Run-
Tauctrt.rsb REGENCY of this county, are no
exceptions to this great modern truism.
The article of the last Register gives the
F.
' best evidence possible, in the nature of the
case, that the purpose-for which we deemed
it our duty to call public. attention 4o this
matter:is accomplished.
I,f the facts we have submitted in relation
to Umbehauer's Tippling House can be dis
proved, let the Register try it. lithe infer
ences and charges drawn from those facts are
false. let the, Register refute them. If there
is net an impression prevalent throughout
the county, that an influence, other than law,
affects the action of the Court in the : matter
of licensing Tippling Houses, let the Regis
ter show in the contrary. 1
Something of the sort, indeed, was at
tempted brthe Register, in its first rejoin
der ; and by the aid of its correspondent, it
accomplished the triumphant refutation of a
charge which was never made! _ , In, en
deavoring to refute another charge. it stated
that ” Umbehauer votes as frequently for the
Whigs as he:does for the Democrats." This
assertion, bOwever, happens to be untrue.--
Its correspotident stated roundly, that the
Witnesses who testified in ' Umbehauer's
case, "swore to the utility of the house, and
the unfounded nature of the cfgrge made
_against it." This, also; happens to be un
true. ,
,-
238
As to theiCharacter of the last article of the
Register; with the exception of a few salien
ce*, it is'• nothing but cowardly personal
abuse, which;_as It matter of course, is be
neath our
,notice, This, the Editor, ot the
Register knoWs dell ; and it is not, therefore
necessary, to, assure , him, that billingsgate
is not our forte; and that, as neither our
principles, practice, nor• taste lie in that di
rection, we cheerfully yield the palm to him
on that score.: . •
His convulsive homily . on 'all kinds of
"Moral
,Internperance,' dedidedly rich ;
and although , we agree with hith.on Several
points, yet,, the peculiar appropriateness of
his prating about " intemperance of lan
guage," about morality, &c., while reeking
ith detraCtion uttered in defence of Tip
p • Housed and ' debaucheries, reminds us
ford ly of :a' scene in Bailey's Festus, in
whic Lucifer himself harrangues a-gay com
pany of mortals on the cardinal virtues, and
lays down a , new system of theology for
them.
But in justice to the editor ofthe Register;
we must say that he has proved himself one.
= the most temperate persons alive—on two
points - at least, if not more. The first is up
on the ineritiuf the case in general between
its, and particularly upon the facts Connected
with Umbehatier's Tippling House and its
license by the Court: He moo infinitely tem
perate as to. these facts that in all the vapor
tog of his last article be does not even al
lude to Wept.: His practice on this point ev
idently prove's, his motto to be " Touch= not,
Taste not, Haptile not." And as td the em
ployment ottrut4 in his article, which is the
seond point upon whch we admire his tem
perance—he Is such an arch-anchorite model
of a,tee-totaller, and so rigidly abstemious
in this regard; that we fear some will be led
to conclude that he belongs to that class,
" Who lore a lie, where truth would pay as well
, The editor Of the Register informs us that
he holds " that he who habitually prostitutes
his public lotirnal to private malice is infi
nitely more pestiferous than he Who sells
spirits." We; agree with him here to the
letter, and we hope] therefore, that uo one
will ever accuse him , of entertaining a very
high opinion of himself.
But really the best thing the Register has
said on this subject, is the following :
" If our laws are wrong in tolerating or
providing for the sale of spirits, let us amend
them. But while they.are laws let us respect
them, and the rights of those who act under
their salaam!!
We sa" amen to this with all our heart ;
and our lip curls in sorrow more than scorn
to think that' tso correct a sentiment should
be uttered by - a;ranting hypocrite,like the Re
gister..while shamelesslydefendfng Tippling
Houses which exist without law, and against
la*, and atterripting to justify a Court which
prostitutes powers to sustain, and perverts
the law to create them. PINEGROVE.

whi4h gives ..the other side of the question
wittl regard to the present Mail difficulties.
• A SUBSCRIBER.
SINE Pf . M i r MASTER GENERAL
i And tile Reading Rail Road .
- 1
The recent' discontitidence of the convey
ance' of the United States mail via the Read
ing Railroad to- Pottsville, and from thence
to Wilkes-barre, &c. has been the subject of
much _newspaper comment, and we think
our Contemporaries have not taken sufficient
pain's to investigate the relative duties of
the Postmaster General and those having
,control of the Railroad. We have refrained
from any reference to the attacks upon the
official depend:mat at Washington, till we
could learn the whole causes of difference,
deprecating, as we must do, the ex-parte
statements which have thrown a:I the res
ponsibility upon the Postmaster General.—
That officer is curbed in all his operations by
wholesome laWs,'and among the duties thus_
prescribed to him, is the classification of the
mails carried by the several railways, accoi
dingio their size - and importance, while the
compensation.to be allowed for the transpor
tation of the Mails of each class, is fixed by
legal enactment, beyond his control, revision' ,
or alteration. 'This classification is not in
tended to designate the character or quality
of the railroad, but the size of the mails and
the frequency of transportation over them,
together with many other incidents affecting ,
the value and-importance of the service ren
dered.
A railroad may be one of the best in '
all respects, and yet entitled only to a small
compensation .for carrying mail! of compar
atively minor._ importance, whilean inferior
road may properly be-allowed a higher corn
, pensation for. Conveying mails of a higher
chute. As the law requires the Postrnastet
General thurtO classify the mails; presum
ing, doubtless, that he would be better-qual
ified than any other person to form a correct
judgment of their relative importance and
size, he must of necessity exercise his own
disCretion in performing the ditty.
It is well known,lhat with the view of
acting towards the railroad companies with
fairness and deliberationdie deferred the con
sideration on theirelaims until the hurry and
excitement of the great "lettings" were over.
On mature consideration, he determined that
he could not,:cousistently with his duty,
offer the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Company more than one; hundred and
fifty dollars per' ; mile per annum , for the mail
service required on that road. The Compa
ny declined the service on 'bete terms, and
claimed to be placed on a footing with the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad hoe. It is
obvious to all, that the Postmaster General
had substential reasons for his kefusal torrid
mit this claim, is the transportation service
rendered the Department between Philadel
phia and Pittsburg is of much, ,greatit com
parative importance and nine; ;than that be
ttyeen Philadelphia and Pottsville. • The
Reading road would carry local mails only,
whip thole conveyed by the - Philadelphia and
Pitts rg line, would -supply, not only the
seat of vemment of Pennsylvania, arrt/ the
,commerm city 'of Pittsburg. but,also aeon
sieerable extent of country beyond the latter
place., The bulk of the mail requires"consid
eration' ore the value of the intelligence

road, and its proprietors have a right re - place
a first class estimate upon its services—what
would have been the consequences? He would
hive been compelled by justice and consist
ency, to have i ncreased the compensation of
the Pennsylvania Railroad ComOriy, and
indeed to alter all the classification under the
late lettings. He could not thus repudiate
Its deliberate judgment, nor abandon his
ideas of duty, by adopting the views of each
company, respecting :he value of its own
service.
The Postmaster General has acted under
no exkitement, nor has he solittertiatierce
the Reading Railroad Company, or drWClt
into a loosing bargain. Before makinglath-,
er provisions for transporting the mails over
or neer the line of its road, it is under our
knowledge that he sent a Special Agent ,dl
his department to this city 'to confer with
the Company, hoping that a full explanation
of the circumstances limiting his discretion,
and controling his action,mould have in
duced them to accommodate the citizens of
the counties interested, on the terms pre
scribed by the act of Congress. But the
Company, for reasons ; doubtless sufficient in
its own estimation, stilt refused, leaving the
Department to the alternative of sending the
mails by Railroad to Norristown, and thence
bv,magims on the turnpike. Though this
has been done, in the exigency, the Depart=
meat is still prepared to contract with the
Company on the terms offered by the Post
master General, whenever it shall signify
its willingness to accept those terms. We
trust the matter may be reconsidered on the
part of the Company, and !eking into con
sideration the fact, that the Department has
acted solely with a view to the protection of
the Public interests, and with its discretiona
ry powers limited by Congressional enact
ments, that we may soon have the-pleasure
of announcing that the mails haVe been re
stored to the route whose expedition, suits its
service to the views and wishes of our peo
ple. But until this is done, it is unfair to
charge the entire blame upon the public offi
cer who is faithfully and impartially doing
his duty. The political journals which have
fattened upon the, patronage of the Depary
meat, have coldly turned from its defence,
when nothing . was requisite to constitute'
that defence but a plain statement of the facts.!
From this it is evident that the politicatl sun'
of the present admigistmtion is setting ; had!
its orb been rising, and the advertisements
for contract-letting in the perspective, we
should have had glowing eulogies on Judgel
HALL, and his course would have been held
up for the example of all public functionaries.
IVe have never received one cent, of profit
from the Department; we were overlooked
when it had the opportunity of giving us ad
vertisements, which would
.have reached
thousands where they did hundreds through
the mediums chosen, and therefore we can
not be charged either with mercenary feel
ings, or as being under obligations of,grat.
itude in defending its action in the pre
sent case. Nor can the Reading Rail
road Company, for one moment suspect us of
unfriendly . feelings towards it; for we have
been its friends when friends were needed
nor can it consider. us swayed by any partial
ity in the matter. We are solely actuated 6 ) ,
a desire to do justice to one of the most effi
cient departments, under Mr. newton's ei.
cellent administraiion, which now, in ittlitst
months, seems to be fbrgotten by its former
parasites, and deserted by those who only
•• crook the pregnant hinges of he
where thrift may follow fawning." Otli ad
vice in all sincerity to 'the Binding Railroad
Company, is to accept the terms of the De
partment, and restore its utility to the ertire
communities, now suffering by the slow trans
mission of the mails, over routes where
greater speed having been previonly enjoyed,
its deprivation is more seriously felt.
The Lomfocos.have nominated a person
for Canal ',Commissioner by-,the name of
Wm. SEARIGIIT, of Fayette county. The fol
lowing letter, it appears, is genuine and was
given to the public by a member of :he Lo
cofoco party—by a member not pleased with
the nomination. It is certainly a choice spe
cimen of his abilities for the office of Canal
Commissioner :

-The Uniontown Sentinel virtually admits
the letter, and tries to explain away the
" Forgery business," by stating that there
was an understanding between Keys and
Searight, "by which they frequently signed
the names of - each other to checks andoth.
er papers, and that this was the fact in relit.
tion to the note.refeired to in Mr. Searighi's
letter." The above is the explanation of the
Uniontown Sentinel, but Mr. Searight puts
the signing Ut z , a ‘rwe serious aspect. He
says the Penitentiary was staring him in the
face, and men do not often try to make their
guilt greater than it really is in such cases.
Can Cane even Lecofocoism swallow such a
man for Canal , Commissioner ? or does it
make no difference as to charatcer or capac:
ity, so that they can only clutch the spoils
Since the above was .written, we learn
from the Philadelphia News that' some of the
party feel inclined to throw Searight over.

THE FINUERIES.
The difficulty, on this subject, between our
government and Great Britain,is nothingnew.
The I " North American Fisheries" have long
beenia bone of contention between the two
countries— even from the earliest days of our
national existence. Seizures by the British
government were made long ago for alleged
violations of the treaty of 1818 between the
two countries; and it was on the discussions
that i then arose, about the matted says the
NatiOzal Intelltgencer, that the, Government
of Great Britain so far relaxed its rights--nn- -
der the treaty. as to permit - onOshermen to
pursue their vocation - in the Bay of Fundy,
provided that they did not go within three ,
miles of the shore on either side. About the
same time the Argus was seized on the
norteast coast of the island of Cape Breton,
and rid and confiscated. And this
_claim--
to exclusive jurisdiction, according_ to their
11 .
cons&uction of the treaty, has alwiya been
insi+don by Great Britain, - though not al

ways, enforced.
It, - also, appears that the British Minister
uotibed our government, as early as the 7th
inst., that frequent encroachments were made
by the United States vessels upon their fish-.
ing grounds, and that effective measureshad,
already had been taken to prevent their re
currence. So that, according to this repte•
