Court of Common Pleas' that no tav erns licenses would be granted while the s. Ara' to restrain , the sale of intoxicating liquors" was pend i ng in the Legislature. The Court was do tamined to wait until the passage of the bill, carefully =udder its provisions and;then decide whether it would be proper and expedient to grant any further licensee at all, during the pa :DA which would transpire before the laws goes into effect. - - Judge McClure on Ssturdsy last delivered the following able, clear and convincing )pinto.. : On the eleventh of April, he remarked, a bill Pawl finally the legislature of Pennsylvania, midis now a law, entitled “An Act to restrain the sale of intoxicating liquors." lien. 14, provides that this act shall not in terfere with any persona bolding a license here-' flare granted, until the time for ableh the same was granted shall have expired, nor. Vail any license which may be granted before the first day of .3nly 'next, maul= the sole of said liquors, or'admixtnres after the first day of October next. Some of the licenses granted in Allegheny county =Plied a few dive before this law was pfd, the reano evil exp i re on the first Monday is J ime . it is plain, then, that this Court has no, pomp to gri m any license for a longer period of time thin until the first day of October-next. The question presented to the tlourt is, shall all who some up to the requisitions of previously ex billow lairs be licensed, as heretofore, for the friction dopier, or shall no license be grantei whatever There is a large class of worthy, meritorious, useful, and most respeetoble and exemplary cit izens, witormo leapersef Hotels, Taverns and bras.. this each men as these whom our deeds: ion doth eaneero=men to whom this Court never refariel license% because they deserted them ; meet* whom this Court could not deny a license wide - int 'deleting:than existing laws. Ibis Court doema.4 7 -bithrespectfal to those persons, many of whom Via well know and esteem, that ire thou% 'eat-forth the Maims which influence our conduct In this behalf. ,-„ L I•with it to be bores In mind that Courts can'. not litAlate; and that, In: our action heretofore ' on matters of license, this Court mu bound to obey the , demands and previsionsef license LIRE, As well as any other.statatory enactments, while in IldiViee , and force. lloer stands the matter now! and, what Is the relative position of this Court, 'and its comes pending chug, of responsibility, compared with what it was ono year ago! Thu very first iserdleat of the net of April, 1865, enacts that "all laws, or parts of laws, inconsistent with the; Pro:Wens of this set, be, and the same are hereby repealed." , There is no law in existence,' making it the duty of the Court to grant any lie ens* under any circumstances. Now the Court is as much bound to disregard repealed lairs, salt is to obey those that are in force.— Here, then, the mullitudhicans "Jews and parts of laws," the mass and accumulation of More than a century, guiding and directing the action of the license power, are all swept swayin a mo m art; for each and all of them "are inconsistent With the provisions of the act" of April, 1855. A tavern license is not a license to keep tavern, it -tin license to sell intoxicating drink. Au appli cation is made for a license. The 'Court is sat bled of the fitness of the applicant, the suffi ciency of accommodation, the good repute of the :signers to the certificate--that such tavern is -necessary to accommodate the puha°, and enter ' eeth ;etrangers and travelers. Now, these were very good reasons a year no—but they are no reasons now ; .the law that made these rea sons has been re pealed—theirlegal existence has cesied, and no Court at leant can re-enact them. The Utter .and the spirit of the act of April, ''.1885,.is the total abolition of, the retail license. When the license laws were in full force, it was the duty of the Court, in Allegheny county, to hear remonstrances as well as petitions, and give to them the effect they merited. When there was a remonstrance the license was mfrs- . - .eth When a ward, boro', or township gave this Court tounderstand that the citizens of such bore', ward, or township were desirous that no license Ocilla ho greeted in such district, the Court granted none , and this, irrespective of the mar ' its of the applicant. The same principle that ac ' tasted the Court, and was applied to ato 'whip when the &ease lawn were in force, may be al,- :plied to the county since their repeal, where the reason is as cogent, - the remora trance AS strong and universal. Even when the license laws mere 'in full force and effect, the legislature never lost of the counteracting influence ot remon otrances; special legislation for Allegheny coon , ' ty,'(whieti some may forget, but this Court must remember,) rendered it imperative on this Court to pay respect to remonstrances as well as pet Sena An application for license is a petition to grant—o remonstrance is a petition to refuse. Remonstrance comes with double force, now that sinews licensing taverns are repealed. 4 now take leave of, and banish front my mind and memory for the present purpose, all former knowledge and observation-all past expenence, ,:based on the robject.mattor of license.

Our readers remem ber that he len convicted last week of an at tempt at arson. We report, below, the remarks of the Court and the prisoner on the occasion of pUtslitg and receiving sentence. A large sum- , bur of persons true present and many were deep ly affected by the scene. It was • solemn thing to seess-young man, in the morning of life; chant I to be consigned to a Ave years' oblivion, for one t of the most heinous crimes known to the Isis. -- Judge McClure—James Dickson, yen have been tried and found guilty of an attempt at ar son; of attempting to set Are to the stable of Mr. Dilworth. YOU were tried only on one indict ment ; there are throe otheris against you The District Attorney tholight the punishment upon one indictment would . bestifftedent to aceomplish the ends of justice. If you bad boon tried upon all, the sentence would necessarily have been for a longer period than any titan has reasonable hopes to live. Those other indictments are still pending—no statute of limitations wilt ever bar theta—and:lf after yen release from prison; you are ever inspected of doing any thing wrong, you may be brought up here and sentenced on them. This is a dreadful thing, this arson The Prisoner—lf your honor pleases I have a few words to fay. . : Joilge McClure-Go on, James; we will hoar anything you bare to say. The Prisoner—l have been led astray by strong Inducements which are calculated to bring any young man under their influence. (Dickson hero 'paused and seemed much embarrassed.) Judge McClure—Keep cool, James, and speak as long as you please. The Prisoner—l would not bare committed any of those crimes if I had not been led away by those Hastens ; they took me to the Opera Troupe to get meout and get me to do it; and inetead of mygoing after them, it was they who persuaded me and wanted me to do worse. The time_is coming when they will get their reward for the lies they have swore to here in the Court. ite for going to the' Penitentiary, a man that goes 'there is worse when be comes out than when he goes in. • 'All I ask of your Honor is to send me to the House of Refuge. I would rather save five years there than one month in the Peniten tiary. lam the only eon my father has got and if I went to the Penitentiary, it might break his heart. That is all I have to say. (Dickson was mach affected as he.took his seat.) Judge VoCluti—Well, James, there are a great many disagreeable things the Court has to do, and this is one -of them. As regards the Penitentiary, I -would rather spend one year there than one month in the County Jail. ion ore a young man and your_chanee of thorough reformation in the Penitentiary is excellent Not only so, but you may become a good tradesman. It is better that you should be there. The evidence against you. was painfully com plete: .As to those other boys, the ease was fully made out before they came to the stand. The Court hopes your state of mind toward them may change. As to the Bowe of Refuge; the Court has no power of desire to send you there. Why, every man, woman and child there would be in perfect terror the whole time left the house would be burned down over their heads. Yon axe not of the age or character to send there.— Tour case requires different treatment. It was an awful thing to makeat th cotton bell; to .eatnrate it wi th turpentine; to sew it up; to watch fora windy night ; to bo ready to throw it into that hey where it would have caught as quick as lightning. --- 11 Officer Scott had not been there to echo you, all the houses in the neighborhood might have been touned down.— norms would have been burned to death end you have heard them ns, inthelr agony, they were frying. in the flamer, just as they were heard when Stiles burned a stable in the same neighborhood. And the firemen—to what bard shipsand dangers andexpoanes would they have boon rendered liable! I have seen ono of those brave, bold men, standing upon a house-top on a wintry night, lee on his back, and sweat on his face, frying before and freezing behind, until ho I had to call on his fellow firemen to throw water on him to keep him from burning up... That brave man goes home with cold; consumption saxes him in her grasp; he pines away and dies,, Who did Itt Why, the hand that fired the build- ing, just as much as if that hand had seized a revolver and shot him dead. Too will find in the Penitentiary an excellent discipline, a kind Moral Instructor, and plenty of employment. Had the District Attorney gene on and tried you on the other indictments, there is no knowing where year punishment would have stopped. But merely has interposed in your behalf, and we , hope you may come forth from your place of punishment, a reformed man. The Court then formally passed mental , " as: • fine of six and one fourth cents, coo" and five years imprisonment in the Wes tern Penina- teary.
