SUNBURY, MARCH 1, 1873.
Local OrTtoN. The vole last wetk on
Local Option, in lliis county ns well ns in
our sinter county Schuylkill, resulted in
liivor or license nml the liquor traffic. In
this county the resalt wits ttltributnblo
moro to the inactivity of those favorable to
temponinee than any other. Most of those
having in ftuctice showed no disposition to
lea J off in their opposition to license and
liquor each one expecting tho other to do
the work. It has been alleged that our fo
reign population were to blame for the de
feat, but the real cause is attributable to
the pusalanimity of most of those who were
loudest in favor of the bill, ninny of whom
did not consider it policy, we suppose, to
vote for or against liccuse. A largo pro
portion of our foreign population were just
as strong in feeling for a trial of the virtues
of the proposed law, a were those of our
native population who made the loudest
pretonsious, but who did not extend their
iulliiciice beyond their own households.
There is now but one remedy lelt for the
abatement of the evil, and that remedy has
Always been in existence the stringent en
forcement of existing laws. This, in our
opinion, is the ouly effective remedy, and if
properly applied would do more to curtail
the evil than any other law that has ever
been devised. There were hundreds who
voted iu favor of license, not that they felt
any iutcrest in tho traffic, but that they
saw nothing in the law c fleeting anything to
tho purpose, and many of them believed
that it would drive the vice to a still lower
level that by closing up respectable places
whose reputations would prevent a grots
abuse, it would throw the business into the
hands of reckless, irresponsible parties,
whose secret places for the sale of liquor of
the worst chnracter,would have been legion.
Another objectionable feature to the bill, in
the opinion of many, was that it merely
abolished license, aud deprived our hotels
of the power of ucconiiiicdating the taveling
public, without producing the desired effect
withiu tho community. This argument
was used with effect. Had there been
a provision in tho law overruling this
objection, thousands of votes would have
gone in favor of the bill which were other
wise cast. There arc many, too, who be
lieve that the only sure method of killing
the evils arising from the traffic is through
t.ho license system and tho stringent en
forcement of present laws that by les
sening tho number of unlicensed rum
holes tho number of places of temptation is
lesscued, and the fiend robbed of linlf its
power to do mischief, thu3 paving the way
gradually to an entire abolishmeut the ovil.
That by passing laws making perjury ou
the part of constables a punishable crime,
a blow will be struck at the evils of the
rum traffic more effective than any Local
Option Law that may bo passed.
The opponents of license have great rea
son to feel gratified with the result of tho
elections on the bill throughout the State.
The majorities arc lare against license.
Tho character of the law is yet an experi
ment. If the result of the experiment is
beneficial, it will no doubt become the law
of the State. We hope that wherever it
has carried it may result iu good. If this
be the result,, wo feel confident that the peo
ple of this county will also decide iu its fa
vor, by nearly a unanimous vote, at the
first opportunity.
But as long as man is nitVn we fear the
whiskey difficulty will be a matter difficult to
handle. There arc two causes for this
first, man's inclination to stimulants, se
cond his cupidity. Wo see iu Chambers'
Kncyclopredia that in lo50, a furore occur
red throughout the United Kingdom of
Great Britain in opposition to the whisky
traffic, the evils arising from which fur ex
ceeded those of the United Slate, spring
ing from the same cause here at tho pre
hcut time. Tho government passed, and
attempted most stringently to cuforce,
sweeping laws in opposition, but the
pupulation, through their inclination to
stimulants, presented the most violent op
position to the laws, and tho government
was forced to succumb. Officers in the
discharge of their duty were shot dowu,
and rioting and blood-shed were an every
day occurrence, until, what the population
considered obnoxious, was abolished.
It may be urged that u difference ought to
exist between this and that time in conse
quence i the superior enlightenment of the
present century. If we look at the thing as
it is, we will see that the love for stimulants
travels with civilization, and that the most
enlightened nations arc tho most prone to
it. Tho lrilf civilized, supiue Asiatic
satisfied with his coffee, tea and pipe,
the thoughtful German only with his
beer and wine, the polite Frenchman with
his wiuc and his brandy, and the energet
ic American and Englishman usu almost
every variety of stimulants. Wo have not
one word to s.ny in favor of the use of sti
mulants, but these are facts which cannot
bo disputed. This is tho flint difficulty
the iecond exists in man's cupidity. Not
satisfied with a fair compensation for the
production of a wholesome article, bo must
hasten his wealth through the production
and sale of a drugged article, every drop
of which takes away a drop of life. and which
while it does not cost the manufacturer one
fourth tho liinouutho receives for it, it costs
the consumer his existence, and that too at a
high price, if Ui'o can be reckoned at the
standard of gold. Uulil man' nature is
changed, and there is u longer a demand
for whiskey, it will bo manufactured and
used. Uutil laws are made and strictly en
forced guarding against tho manufacture
of adulterated poison, the evil will advance
doubly in its pi o. tortious and in violence;
aud until tho officers of tho law, who are
the guardians of the public interests, do their
duly in accordauco with their oath, wo
hull have trouble from the indiscriminate
I ilti of whiskey. But, until man "loves his
neighbor ns ho loves himself," we expect
to see no improvement iu the matter.
Man's cupidity nuri boorish avnrico is at
variance with this bcuigu regulation, and
Ins dearrft interests.

The editor of the Record can draw more
from his imaginative powers than any oth
er editor in the six adjoining counties. The
above is 0110 of the latest productions of his
imagination, and we would leave it pass
unnoticed, were it not that the editor of
the Record might place us in a false position
with the public through this creaturo of his
imagination so ingeniously devised. We
have no particular persons in view ns can
didates for next Fall. We believe in al
lowing the people toselcct,from their ranks,
the men for offices whom they deem best
fitted for positions. As for ourselves
we are no candidate for ony office, nor do
we intend to yield to the wishes of many
who have consulted us on that subject, for
reasons which every fair minded man must
give us credit. It is neither our desire nor
purpose to ask for office, nor in anywise
stand in the way of any aspirant aa long as
we are the publisher of a newspaper, and
are able to perforin the requisite labor to
insure success in our business. It is our
intention, as we stated on assuming con
trol of the Amkuican, to maintain n de
gree of independence that will enable
us to comment upon all questions of poli
tics or business, without fear favor or affec
tion, standing always by the right, aud
making such comments as iu our judg
ment may advance the interests of the
people. In such a position we can publish
a free and independent paper free from all
cliques and factious, and with this end in
view we shall devote our labors as long as
we have the control of tho columns of the
American. Upon this principle we trust
for our future success, and expect a gener
ous public to leud us their aid, in a legiti
mate way, that we may never have occa
sion to beg for votes to place us in office.
We have condensed the following from a
Bill now reported in the Senate entitled An
Act to provide for the appointment of a
board of fishery commissioners, for the con
Btiuctioo of fish ways, and for the protec
tiou and propagation of lish, and appropri
ating money for the same.
The 1st Section provides against the
catching and sale of any shad caught in
the Delaware and tributaries below Tren
ton Falls, between June 11th aud August
10th, in any year.
The 2d Section provides that no fishing
will be allowed from Saturday evening un
til Monday morning.
The 3d Section imposes penalties for dis
turbing fishways, aud lish preserves, or
ponds.
Tho 4th Section declares it unlawful to
fish, except with hook and line, within a
half mile of any dam or Schute, or lish lad
der for the passage of lish.
The 5th Section authorizes the Governor
to appoint three commissioners for three
years, to perforin the duties required by the
Act, who shall be paid "their reasonable
aud necessary expeuses," and give bond in
$10,000.
The Gth Section provides that during the
year 1ST3, the commissioners are required
to have constructed by contract, with the
lowest bidders, fishways, or ladders, for
the passage of fish, to wit : one in the Co
lumbia dain, one in the Clark's Ferry dam,
one in Shamokin dam, and one in the Ju
niata, and appropriates S:23,000 for that
purpose.
In 1KT4, one is to be put into the Muncy,
Nanticoke and Lewistown dams, and an
appropriation of 25,000 is made for that
purpose. Iu 1875, other dams are to be
provided with ladders, for which $20,000 is
appropriated.
The 7th Section provides fr the appoint
ment f two fish wardens.
The Sill Section relates to Xew Jersey.
The 9th Section provides penalties for
disturbing fish while spawning.
The 10th Scctiou provides for hatching
houses, and propagating fish in the streams
of this Commonwealth, by distributing the
spawn, or fry of said fish throughout Ha
state. Sections 11, 12 and 13, provide penal
ties for fishing with nets. &c.
Credit Mohilier. We publish on our
first page an account of the origin of the
famous 'Credit Mobilicr,' which has caused
so much excitement among certain mem
bers of Congress who have received some
of tho stock. The statement is made by
Win. Green, son of Gen. Duff Green, who
was for a number of years a piominenl
journalist in Washington. Thisstatement
must, however, bo taken with considera
ble allowance, as we know that it is not
correct in soma particulars. The writer.
for instance, assumes, or intends to con
vey the impression, that Clias. M. Hall's
first appearance in tho matter was when
"Dr. Durant attempted through George
Francis Train, and Chas. M. Hall, to pur
chase the charter from llalsted, Brooks nud
Barnes." Now, it is a well known fact that
C. M. Hall was actively engaged iu assist
ing Mr. Green iu procuring the original
charter of this famous institution. With
out this nid from Mr. Hall and others, Mr.
Green could not have succeeded. That
these men had an interest in the matter is
a fact that can hardly be doubted. The
object was to mako money out of the char
ter, and that thcro was soino gougiug
among the speculators is more than proba
ble The Centeunial subscriptions.though en
ough to ensure success of the enterprise,
havo not been what the peoplo had a right
to expect from the citizens of l'hiladelphia
with some praiseworthy exceptions. Per
haps the most niggardly subscriptions were
thoso made by the hotel keepers, who,
above all others, will be most benefitted.
While tho workmeu of Disston's saw facto
ry subscribed from ? 12.00J to 15.000, tho
hundred and moro hotels contributed only
0,150. Wo venture to hay the half dos.eu

from the exposition.

JouRNAtiSM. The Miners1 Journal of Inst
Saturday contained the valedictory of Ben

ductor tor upwards or forty years. Mr.
Bannon embarked in the enterprise of pub
lishing the Journal in 1820, and up to the
present time conducted the pioneer news
paperof the Schuylkill region. Asan edi
tor ho was not a polished writer, but his
ideas were of a peculiarly origiual nature.
Ho possessed great enterprise, and through
his iudomitablo perseverence succeeded in
making tho Journal establishment second
to nono in the country, and fur superior to
many in the cities. In tho retirement of
Mr. Bannan, the public lose the advico of
an uncompromising advocate of the right
in all his opinions. The coal region loses
one of its strongest and most influential
advocates of all its enterprises.

abundant success in their future enter

' COUKESPOXDEyCE.
Letter from Denver.
Denver, Colorado, Feb. 21, 1873.
Editor Sunbury Amcricun:
Thinkjngyou would be phased to hear from
the "City of the Plains," 1 will endeavor to
enlighten your readers some by telling
them what is going on iu regard to the
growth, future prospects, nnd surrounding
beauties of Denver ; and last, but not least,
the delightful climate of the far West. Our
city is quite lively this whiter, but winter
here is not associated with cold, as we have
had spring ever since November last.
House building has been going on lively,
nnd we have had but few falls of snow,
which disapjieared as soon ns it fell. To
day n large new hall, costing upwards of
$75,000, is to he dedicated, which is to bear
the name of Governor's Guard Hall, in ho
nor of a military company bearing tho
above name, causing the city to put on a
holiday appearance, and closing upall pub
lic houses, schools. Sic, the exercises will
be of the highest order. Our city contains
a population of 15.000 souls. Last year
our city added to its permanent residents
5,000, nnd this year we expect it to be dou
ble. Our society is first class, churches the
same, nnd a solidity iu the improvements
impresses one on his arrival, that this city
will be second to none in the East, of the
same size and population. Our people are
of the energetic class, nud to-day this city
with her small population, cau show more
business in her day's, work than can one
East of 50,000 population. Denver is situ
nted on the south hank of tho Platte river.
Her streets for miles are straight aud level
her drives tho finest iu tho world, and her
turnouts, both private and livery, the finest
I have ever seen, not excepting Now York
or Philadelphia. Tho streets are full of
line shade trees, and the city lit up with
gas. The Holly system furnishes us with
a bountiful supply of puro water. Under
the Holly system we need no lire engines,
but simply the attachment of hose to the nu
merous hydrants placed on tho dill'erent
corners for the abovo purpose.
For scenery Denver cannot bo excelled
in tho world, and iu wealth will soon sur
pass all the large cities of tho far west.
The viow of tho rioblo it..oky Mountain.
looming up from 2000 to 10,000 feet above
this city, cannot be described by pen.
Above our mountains stand the white cap
ped, lofty "S ow Range." carrying its
snow crust all year rouud. We see here
our three highest peaks, viz : "Long's,"
"Pike's," and "Gray"," the latter being
200 feet the highest. Tho mountain scene
ry surpasses my remotest idea of what sub
lime scenery should be, and in my opinion
Colorado contains tho grandest scenery
in the world. Yet young, Colorado pro
mises to be the richest section of the coun
try. Her silver and gold mines are yet in
their infancy, and new ones nre being dis
covered daily. Just think of one mine, of
recent discovery, paving for every ton of
ore raised, $18,000." This lode is called
the ' Colorado Central," aud I can assure
you there are thousands of such mines yet
undiscovered. The cattle business is first
class, and positively safe. Farming lands
excellent. With such opportunities 1 can
not sec why men of capital. will stay East,
and let their capital out at from 0 to 10 per
cent, when such speculations arc offered in
tho West. All I can say is, to be convinc
ed, come out and soo for yourself. My
next will tell you of a trip from Denver to
Georgetown, through the Rockies, via
Wells, Furgo & Co's overland stage.

DUtrirt to be less than the amount of bonds ou'
standini;. The Board hav: issued orders (or the
balance of Interest due to January 1, 18T3.
I, perhaps, as Becretnry of the Board, owe nn
aprlopy to the taxpayers of Sunbury foruot pub
lishing this report previously, In conformity with
the School lavs. My apology is simply this: I
never could or did ascertain the exact amount of
Bonded Indebtedness of the district until during
the month of January, 1873, and I would not
publish a report of the District which 1 knew
would be incorrect. If any one else holds bonds
they would greatly oblige the Board by present-
Hit; them to the Secretary at once, as the present
Board have no knowledge of any others.
