Publication ol State Laws, Senaior Killekgeb, of Lebanon, has in* traduced a bill to provide for the publicaiion of the ads passed by the Legislature, in the newspapers of each county. We agree with the Harrisburg Herald, that “the actual ne cessity of this plan to make the people of the State fully acquainted with the laws, should long since have urged its adoption. “Igno rance of the law” is no excuse in a Court ol Justice. While we agree that “ignorance of the law should never be received as an ex cuse for its violation, yet we ask every can did, intelligent man, how a knowledge of the law is to bo oblamediuoder (he present pamph let system 1 ' True, a “favored few” receive copies after many months delay in issuing them from the press, yet the -masses of the people, who are as deeply interested as law. yers and county officers, are denied the privi lege of learning the acts of the Legislature. No people can be law abiding if a knowledge of the law is concealed from them. How common is it to find yourself or neighbors the victims of a law, whose existence on the stat ute book was unknown. Yet the stern rule (granted above) is applied to you, and the penalty must be borne. Our Legislature spends every year four months in making only a very few acts are brought to *lliq notice of the people. Others which may concern them more deeply, are enacted, and their existence only known by an innocent violation. The objections to this enlightened policy, is the expense attendant upon said publication. The very same gentlemen who vole against this act of justice to the people, on the score of 100 much expense, are found recklessly giving away thousands in useless public improvements, raising the salaries of officers (themselves included) and in keeping up the corrupt horde on the State Works. — It is a striking instance of “penny wise and pound foolish policy, ’’ so common in the his tory of modern legislation. A few thou sands added to the expense of the present pamphlet system would spread before the ' people of the State every law in their county papers. There is not a taxpayer in the Com monwealth who would not approve of the expense, as he would be so amply benefited by *t. We hope to see the press of the State speak out on this question, and call upon the Legislature to pass it at once. So far, we are sorry it has met with little encouragement in the Senate, but let Mr. Killing er throw the weight of his influence and energy in its favor, and if he fails, he will still receive the thaqks.of his.fellow citizens, and will hasten the day when this simple act of justice will be accorded by a unanimous vote.” Cincinnati! Election. The eleciion of municipal officers came off in the Queen City the fourth inst., and resul ted in the eleciion of James D. Miller, ihe American and reform candidate. The elec tion was attended with riots and bloodshed. The statements in relation to the causes which led to such disgraceful scenes are contradic tory* Dul it is evident that the Catholics and old line democrats, as the hunkers'call them selves, were determined to carry the election by fraud and lorce, and the reform party were equally determined that equal rights should be maintained and illegal voting should be sup pressed. The foreigners had the entire con trol of several Wards and kept the Ameri cans from the polls by force. These pro ceedings arroused the American spirit,and large parlies from different parts of the city, forced a passage to the polls, and thus secured by force, not legal, the right of suf frage to American citizens. In the general melee pistols wdre discharged and missiles were showered upon both parlies. A cannon belonging to the Slate was captured from (he Germans by the Americans, and was turned upon the crowd of foreigners and discharged into their midst. The boxes were taken pos session bylhe Americans in two Wards, and the ballots destroyed after it was ascertained that they outnumbered the voters in the Wards, an unjustifiable though summary way of sup pressing illegal voles. The government of Cincinati the past year has been without an exception in the hands of foreigners and catholics. A citizen of the city informed us (hat every member of the police force was of foreign birth—many of them Italians, whose physiognomy and gen eral deportment plainly show that their occu pation in the mountain gorges of their native land was not the arrest of offenders. With such a police force it is not surprising that knockdowns and robberies are of nightly oc currence in the streets of Cincjnalli, and al most any means to secure a reform may be justifiable.— Keene (N.

Gov. • Reeder, of Kansas. —Id relation to the remarks ot The Banner of yesterday morning on the conduct of "the Governor of Kansas,” we remark that the Proclamation of Reeddr for an election in that Slate was issued on the 26th, February, and the election was held on the 30th, of March.

Though!” So said Gallileo Gallilei alter recanting his dan gerous heresy of the earth’s sphericity and diurnal motion, at Rome, where be had been summoned to snswer for promulgating such a monstrous doctrine. The Papal See did not wish to depart from the strict ly orthodox dogma, which set forth that the world was Sat, like a pancake, supported by a rock which rested upon that indiscribable something called “No thing.” Romh was right, If to look out for No. I, under all circumstances, is right. She stopped Gal lilco out of her abundant zeal fur her cherished dog mas. Interest bode her pronounce Anathema Mur anatha and she obeyed. For the supremacy of Rome depended upon keeping the outside world at a stand-still. Progress to her was, and still is, heresy. She started with the assumption that the few should think for the many, and proceeded to the legitimate conclusion that the many should succumb to the will of the few. Therefore, when she decided that the earth was a disk instead of a sphere, and had the •an, moon and stars continually circling around her like a bevy of fine ladies and gentlemen attending upon a mortal queen, she commanded Gallileo to re cant his heresy, which degraded the earth into a simple member of a planetary family. She wrung a lip-denial from him, but the troth remained un kempt of the Holy See. . Earth still swept on in its mighty orbit undisturbed by Rome’s feeble wrath While she impeded the rapid diffusion of Truth she could not affect its imperishability. We have been glancing at the course of Ihe Tem perance movement; and when we observe bow steadily it has advanced from its birth up to its glo riously triumphant Present, in the face of l|ie stor miest opposition, we feel hopeful and glad. It hat hsd a worse than Rome to contend against, and has climbed over the hills of Difficulty that have been heaped in its way, without ever once looking back. Rum has exceeded in acts of intolerdeco all the pon tiffs that ever sat in Rome, and ila priests have fought with a'desperate bloodthirstiness ftr its interest; still, Us triumphs resemble In a remarkable degree that of the Church over Gallileo. For when bad men legislated against the movement the check was only apparent —never real. It is so ordered that the reckless deeds of the bad shall recoil upon and work the ruin of their authors. Nkal Dow, tho founder of Prohibition, has earned (be proudest fame that ever fell to the lot of mortal. His memory wilt bo fresh, and his name will be spo ken with a feeling akin to reverence when those of his haters and traducers havp rotted. He conceived the plan which will at no distant day work itself oat in the entire emancipation of Alan Irom tho sway of the cruetest of tyrants. For Prohibition duet move, notwithstanding the land denials of the Rum inter est. It h rapidly extending its beneficent influ. .enco into every part of this Rum-ridden land, and “the gates of Rmndom shall not prevail against it.," New York has at last adopted this policy, and if the temperance men of that Stale continue as wake ful as they have been in time past the curse of the domestic circle will be removed from its people. “It won’t do, you can’t make Prohibition work here 7"—says the trafficker. And in proof of this we are pointed to Maine—tho cradle of the move ment. Well, let us look at Maine. Prohibition has been her policy for several years; and so immensely unpopular has it become there, that it has never been repealed I On the contrary, her Legislature has in creased its stringency every year. Neal Dow was beaten lor Mayor in ‘53 by Fanis. This was herald ed by the Rumocracy as a triumph over Prohibition. A few days since Dow was elected Mayor of Pori laad by 67 majority. It must bo remembered that Portland is the stronghold of Rum in Maine. To he consistent, (he trade, with John Neal at their head ehonld march in procession with craped ban ners, in token of defeat, It is alleged by the opposition that more ram is sold m Mains under the law than before its enact ment. We take this to be an outrageous falsehood —equal to any ever concocted by the enemies of Temperance and good order. Reliable men say that it is not so; and as the trade is pccnliarly interested in the issue, their evidence cannot bo admitted. It is strange that the trafficker should denounce and so desperately oppose a law, which,admitting bis own evidence, so admirably subserves his interests I Is it not passing alrange! Why, if the traffic in rum is a good thing, and if the Maine Law increases Die facilities for selling, the trade should not oppose Pro hibition, but advocate it. Gentlemen should not be ruinously blind to their own interests. It is outra geous!—About os contemptible a dodge as the fraternity ever got up, gentlemen. Nat long ago we happened to hear an intelligent looking stranger converting about the Maine Law. He talked Very flippantly and worte still, ignorantly. For instance, be asserted that the original law per mitted private residences to be searched the same as ttoresj grocetioe, &0., oq suspicion'. Now, anybody competent to talk about the law knows belter than this. He made several 'other statements abont Pro hibition equally falsa and absurd. We make men tion of this ease because it is one of almost daly re currence, here and everywhere. , Now the troth 1* 'that the Maine Law required positive proof that a sale of liquor Ind been made in a private house, within a month, before a warrant could issue. We speak from the record, to which skeptics are referred. It was no more obuothms in ths respect than, the common law of search; indeed it is ten objectionable if we are rightly posted. Wo havefcoown a search warrant tb be takenoutin this State by virtue of which more than fifty private res. idenceswero searched, when Hot njoiq.than two or three of them were even suspeotadjcif containing slolop property. We observed on that occasion ud THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOE. afterward, that certain men denounced the right of search as urijust and anti-democratic. We observed further, that these very men proved to be the owners of premises upon which were found certain articles missed by other people very mysteriously. Of course people were at liberty to draw their 'own conclusions, and we were forcibly reminded of he old couplet— “No rogue e'er felt the halter draw, With good opinion of the law." Amid all this shower of Buncombe indignation about ‘every man’s house being turned lopsy-tdrvy," by “rascally temperance fanatics," ono great fact stands prominently revealed i No. true friend of Temperance raises objections to the right of search clause. No honest man will bar his doors against a search warrant civilly executed. Thieves and rob bets, only, are afraid of the operation of defensive laws. So men who meditate a breach of the law within the sanctuary of their dwellings, will not bo backward in denouncing the Maine Law. No hon est man can object to submitting his house to be searched by the proper officer under existing law— then why under the more moderate provisions of the Maine Law T “What has the ideashro gained for Temperance V asks one. Look back and see, Before its adoption in Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut, the prison rolls in those States were hutch more fully, written out than at present. Crime is decreasing wherever tho law has bad time to act. In Connect icut the change fur the belter is strikingly marked. In Massachusetts the law as first passed was not ef fective. In the large towns it opposed little or noth ing to' the prosecution of the traffic. But the law was fortified by a new and more stringent provision last winter and will probably do its work better. Trial has proved that it is a great moral and reform atory agent, and that wherever it is set at work the Temperance car “does move." The Struggle in Kansas We hope the aiders, abettors and apologizers of and for tlie Nebraska- Kansas infamy will read the account of the late Kansas election, and either acknowledge themselves traitors to Freedom and Right, or shortsighted dem agogues and unworthy of public confidence. Tho right of suffrage there, is conferred at the point of Die bowio knife and the muzzle of the revolver. The disgraceful scenes of last fall have again been enacted, and freedom in Kansas no longer ex ists even in name—it has died the death. When the ballot-box becomes a plaything in the hands of desperadoes and mado the iuslrument of throttling liberty instead of perpetuating and extending it, and all this under the unreproving eye of the General Government, it is time for the true men of the North to stand up and demand restitution of those insulted privileges. Wliat with the treason of Northern men and the cowardly subservience of the Administra. tion, it would be no strange thing if the just indig nation of the true friends of liberty should burstxmt in open rebellion. Think of it! Several hundred tools of Donglos and Alchinson crossover from Mis. souri to Kansas and control the elections in that Territory, and to the prejudice of its interests ! then return to their homes in Missouri, with bands play iug and banners flying, boasting pf their triumph over law and good order! This, gentlemen dough faces, is Southern chivalry ! This is the folly sense of honor about which your Southern compatriots boast, and which yon are forever ascribing to the trafficker in immortal sodls! Such are the men that Northern Union-worshippers dread to part company with!—perjured desperadoes, who would whet their knives on the marble statuo of Liberty to cut the throat of every friend of Human. Rights.! Jf the Administration is too weak to redress such grievan ces, lot it retire and give place to one that shall bo both free and fearless.

The Missouri compatriots in Kansas of Douglas and Atchison thus telegraph to The St. Lopis Republican the results of (heir labors: “Independence, (Mo.) March 31, 9P. M —Several hundred returning emigrants from Kansas -hove just entered our city. They were preceded by the Westport and Independ ence Brass Bands. They came in at the west side of the public square, and proceeded entirely around.it, ihe bands cheering us with fine , music, and the emigrants with good rews. Immediately following the band were about (wo hundred horsemen, in regular or der; following these were one hundred and fifty wagons, carriages, &c. They gave .repeated cheers for Kansas and Missouri.— They report that not an Ami-Slavery man will be in the Legislature of Kansas.

They were-"returning emigrants,” you see, on the 31st of March—just the season when most emigrants are hastening to their future homes ; hilt these were -then returning from their prefended homes in Kansas to their real homes in Missouri.

A letter from New Mexico to the New Or leans Picayune states that it is proposed that the Territorial Legislature shall memorialize Congress to erect a New Territory ont of the southern portion of New Mexico, The writer says: “The name suggested and recommended in the memorial is P'meria, which was origin ally the name of the region now proposed to be erected into a new Territory. The name |is, I think, euphonious, and would sound well as the name of a Terilory ora State. ' The present Territory is about eight hun dred miles long by six hundred end fifty broad, with a superficial area of 520,000 square miles, inhabited by about 100,000 people. It is settled principally in Jits central-portion from the north to (he south line, and has, be side, a large population in the territory late ly acquired from Mexico, extended from the Rio Grand to near the California Gulf. With in this newly-acquired territory there are sev eral towns formerly in the Mexican Stales of Chihuahua and Sonora. That portion now proposed to be erected into a new Territorial organization is far removed from Sanfa Fe, the seat of government. The Jornada del Mue'rto intervenes. There is much difficulty in extending and executing the laws over that region of country on account of its dislanco from Santa Fo, and the officers. The road is dangerous and difficult to travel. For in stance, Las Cruces, the county seat of Dona Anacounty, is three hundred and fifty miles from the seat of government, and over the Jornado del Muerlo, (Dead Man's Jouney.) The nearest town in the new territorial acqui sition in new Mexico, and which would fall in the new Territory, is about six hundred miles, and the roost remote about eight hundred miles, and over routes almost completely ren dering all communication with Santa Ffe, im practicable from the circumstances. The Territory proposed is-said to possess vast ag ricultural and mineral resources, - and fo be capable of supporting a large population, and is claimed to be the finest pastoral'country in the world. The climate is mild and salubri ous.” The proposed boundaries are then slated, and the letter concludes: "If Congress should endorse this measure and create (he Territory as prayed fbr, it will contain a larger population at (he time of its erection into a territory than either Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Kansas, or Nebras ka Territories had at the time of their crea tion. Much the larger portion of the land in ’Fimbria’ is public domain.”
