INTERROGATORIES BY THE PROHIBITORY LI
DtOR LAW COMMITTER.
1. Do you believe a law, prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors,
except for sacramental, medicinal, mcrliani
cal or nrlistical purposes, to be constitutional 1
and would its count lUitiomilily, in your opin
ion, be affected by a submission of its repeal
lo a vote of Ihe people, provided a majority
voted in favor of the law 1
2. In the event of your election, should
Ihe Legislature enact such a law, will it re
ceive your Executive sanction 1
covEitNnn bicler's letter.
Harrisburg, June G, 1854.
Gentlemen : I have been honored by the
roceipt of jour communication of the lSth
ultimo, propounding to me certain questions
touching the subject of a Prohibitory Liquor
Ln
To your first inquiry, I reply, that the
Supreme Court of Ihe Stale have repeatedly
held, and I concur in Ihe doctrine, that the
Legislature can exercise all law-making
power not expressly forbidden by Ihe Stnte
or Federal Constitution' Under this con-
sti action, beliovo the Legislature have au
thority to control the manufacture and sale
of spirituous liquors ; but in the nso of that
power, it must be obvious that a law might
be passed, which, in ils details, would bo a
manifest violation of the Constitution, and
hence the impossibility of answering your
question distinctly, without seeing ihe exact
terms of tho proposed law.
As to the second point in tne inquiry, it
must oe very dear mat a law, consn.m.ormi
in itseil, woulil not do rendered otherwise ny
allowing the people to decide by vole whether
the Legislature slionld repeal it or not, no
matter what that vote might be.
To your second inquiry I answer that I
sincerely deplore Ihe evils of intemperance,
and am now willing, as I have always been.
to
sanction anv measure to miugate, and, H
possible, entirely remove the vice, but I
cannot pledge myself to sanction a law, the

Gentlemen lour communication in refer
ence to a prohibitory law has been received,
and in reply, 1 say that Ihe constitutionality
f a prohibitory law, similar in ils essential
features lo the one reierred lo in jour inter-
logatories, having received a judicial deter
tnination by the highest Courts of several of
our sister States, and the principle having
been recognized by the Supreme Court of
the United States, I am relieved from the
responsibility of a first decision. These
Couits have affirmed the constitutionality of
prohibitory law, and being of the highest
ulhorily, I believe, upon principle and au.

This company have made arrangement, to

tweeh Milton and Williamsport. Tbe
road will therefore be untramelled by any
conditions. The grading on the road be
tween the above points it nearly all com
pleted, and workmen are now engaged in
laying down the track. In a few months
the rood from Milton to Williamsport will
be in running order. From Sunbury to
Milton the work, with the exception of the
bridge at Northumberland, is light, and can
be ready early in the spring. The road
from Milton to Danville and Cattawissa
will not be ready, we presume, until some
time in August.
fC7DAVio Longenecker, Esq., President
of the Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad
is mentioned as a candidate for the State
Senate in Lancaster county. A first rale
selection, if Mr. Longenecker can be indu
ced to accept. We have also heard the
name of Judge Ilelfenstein suggested as a
suitable candidate for this county as Senator
or member of the House. The Judge
would unquestionably make an excellent
representative, but like Mr. Longenecker,
it is doubt ful if he could be induced to ac
cept the nomination or the office.
ft" Danville. We made a visit last
week to Danville, and were pleased to wit
ness the improvements in the town and
vicinity. The rolling mill with its numer
ous furnaces and ponderous and massive
machinery, giving employment to some
eisht hundred men. is of itsell worth a visit
to those who know how to appreciate such
stupendous enterprises. A tow years
since where these mills and furnaces are
now belching forth their gaseous flames,
there wpre quiet fields where the cattle
could graze, undisturbed by the heavy rum
bling of the machinery, and the frequent
detonating reports caused by the pressure
of massesol intensely heated iron, weighing
nearly one third of a ton, between the iron
jaws of what is called the coffee mill, but
what more resembles an old fashioned cider
mill. Most ol the iron rails manufactured
average in weight over 500 pounds, and it
is surprising to see with what skill and
dexterity these immense rails, glowing with
heat, are managed, each one having to pass
ob&ut a dozen times through the rollers
before il is completely formed.
7Fire at LEwisnrivo. The new
Steam Mill ol Messrs. Nesbit, Hayes &
Fitchhorn, at Lewisburg, together with
about $3,000 worth of grain, was destroyed
by fire on Wednesday morning, the 7th
inst. The loss is estimated at $13,000,
covered by an insurance of $8,000, one
half in the Lycoming County Mutual
Insurance Company, and the other in the
Union County Mutual. The fire is sup
posed to have been caused by the friction
of the smut machine.
C7 Struck by Lightning. During the
storm on Thursday week there was one
sharp clap of thunder, and we were confi
dent that the lightning had struck some
where in town. On inquiry we learn that
the electric fluid struck the house or rather
the lightning conductor on the house of
Miss Hunter, but without doing any injury.
A cat in the chimney corner, in another
house close by, was killed by the shock.
05" The news from Europe shows thai
nothing very decisive has yet taken place
in the war between Russia and the allied
powers. Grain has submitted to a further
decline. What is singular and worth
recording, is the fact that wheat has becu
telling here fifteen cents per bushel higher
than in New York.
IC7" Japan. The U. S. Steamship Sus
quehanna arrived at New York from Jpan,
with the important news that Commodore
Perry had tucceeded in forming a treaty
with that hitherto secluded people, by
which they open to our people, their ports
for trade and commerce, but are not wil
ling to extend that privilege to other
nations.
K7 Professor Holloway, of London,
may be set down as a public benefactor.
He not only patronizes the printers, but
placet their papers on file, lor the accom
modation of tbe public. Our friends abroad
will find our paper at hit office, 24 1,

rence happened, we learn, In the following
manner:
Cnpt Brown's boat wat lockingat LaSalle
when an Irishman came on board, and tee
ing a dog (wbich was a pet of the Captain's)
on deck, for tome reason or other kicked it
off Ihe boat into the water. The captain
wat below at the time, and when he came
on deck asked who kicked the dog into the
water. Upon being pointed out Ihe man,
he observed, that for two cents he would
serve him as he (the man) had the dog. At
this the Irishman took two cents from hit
pocket, and dared the captain to put hit
threat into execution. The captain then
knocked the Irishman down, it is said three
different timet, and wat on the point of
throwing him into the canal when the by
standers interfered and separated them
The captain soon after started for Chicago
with his boat.
In the meantime a number of Irishman,
twenty-one in all, wo tee it stated, started
after Ihe boat in wagons, and succeeded in
overtaking him at Ottawa. Here the captain
went ashore, accompanied by one of his
crew, for a team, and wat soon afterwards
attacked by the Irishmen in a body. The
man with Capt. Brown discharged a revolver
at Ihe crowd, which took effect, wounding
one man, and (hen retreated, leaving tbe
enptnin alone. Finding his life in danger
and no hope of escaping, Capt. B. discharged
his revolver six limes, every discharge, we
learn, taking effect on his assailant, six of
whom were shot, exclusive of the man shot
by his companion, making seven in all.
This is truly a melancholy n flair, and, we
are sorry lo say, but one of Ihe number of
deadly riots which have taken place through
out Ihe country wiihin a few months. Where
this destruclion of lifo is to end God only
knows.
Bishop Hughes' reply to Gen. Cass' speech
has created some acerbity of feeling here,
nol indeed with General Cass, who is now
engaged on an argument of the Land ques
tion which he is about to deliver in the Sen
ate, and has not even read il ; but on Ihe
part of other Senators who will argue the
question more nt length in the Senate, and
with far less kindness and urbanity than al
ways distinguishes General Cass' productions.
General Cass thinks his propositions are so
simple, and so directly appealing to Ihe gep
eral sense of justice, that Aristotle himself
could not argue against them ; since Aristo
tle was no casuist.
Since, however, Ihe Bishop has thrown
down Ihe gauntlet, Mr Badger of North
Carolina, one of Ihe ablest Senators in Con
gress will take it up. Il is clear, however
that tbe prelate and (he Senalor must argue
the question of religious tolerunce fiom dif
ferent stand points All churches, in all
ages, have more or less held to the doolrine ;
tin flu salus extra ccclcsiam; against which
reason and statesmanship have always pro
tested. From all appearances, the slavery question
will be swallowed up by Ihe religious agita
tion which is about to ensue. Byron said,
paradoxically, "man being reasonable, must
get drunk," we might as well add, "man be
ing free, must be a slave to religious fanati
cism." OnsERVEH.
Mr. Wisr, thk jErohai't, ascended in a
balloon from the Crystal Palace, New Yoik
on Friday. The balloon was carried over
Long Island ; but, in descending, tho coura
geous ceronaut made a narrow escape from
death. The grapnel which he threw out
tore out the sod, and the balloon bounded
several hundred yards; next the car was
dashed forcibly into a ravine, and threw him
out. He held on to the outside, hanging fast
to the car. Tbe grapnel again made its
hold, and as Ihe balloon was about rising
again, Mr. Wise let himself full into a salt
meadow, knocking out one of bit teeth and
injuring his jaw by the full. The balloon
went olT, bnt the vuyageur offers a reward
fur itt return in teason for another ascent
from the Palace on Tuesday next.

Accident at Niagara Falls. Several
days since a wagon and two horses slipped
over the bank of the Niagara river, at tha
rear of the Clifton House, near the Falls, and
were precipitated a distance of one hundred
and fifty feet, to a projection of about two
thirds down the precipice, where they lodg!
ed. Singular to relate, one of the horses
escaped without serious injury, while the
other was killed. Tbe wagon wasnninjured
with the exception of a broken axletree.
The living horse -was with some difficulty
lowered to a raft beneath by means of ropes)
and towed thence safely to Ihe landing place.
Three children of Mrs. Brown, residing in
Pine-street. St. Louis, Missouri, by a most
remarkable coincidence were scrofulously in
clined, the eldest, (Jane) most particularly
so, and the mother finding such to be the
case, did all in her power lo relieve Ihe suf
ferer, but in vain ; she became worse, the
blood bt Ihe others was equally impure, anj
they all three were so bad at last, as to be
come quite an object of horror lo their friends.
Ihe mother, about eight weeks ago, put
them through the course of Holloway's Pills
and Ointment, and strange, yet true it is, that
their blood became thoroughly punlieu, and
the gotofulous symptoms disappeared. They
are now all three in excellent health, to the
asonishment and delight ot tbeir atlectionate
parents.
