THE LICENSfil LAfiS.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
LIQUOR SELLERS.
THE DUTY OP THE PUBLIC.
Four different aots have been passed
at the last session of our Legislature,
regulative of the liquor traffic, all of
which are, in some of their provisions,
applioable to, and in force in this county.
Act No. 3, to preserve order in licens
ed houses, and extirpate unlicensed
traffic-. It requires licensed '.persons, at
nil times, to prevent disorderly con
duct in their houses, as far as lies in
their power i and to enable them to do
so, they are required, immediately upon
the ocourrenee ot any , dUttirrjance.'to
call in tho police or any constable', or
Bheriff, who are bound to obey such call
aod removo such disorderly person or
persons, and shut up the house if neod
be, till the disturbance is over. Seo. 2
provides against selling or permitting to
bo sold or given away, any intoxicating
drink of any kind, to any minor or ap
prentice. The question whether or not
the party is known at the time to be a
mtnor or apprentice is immntoriu!. Ig
norance on this point will not excuse.
Seo. 3 forbids the sale or giving away of
any such drink to any habitual druukard
or to any intoxicated person, under the
the influence of liquor. Under this sec
tion, a tayorn or restaurant keeper can
not sately give liquor to anv stranger
entering his house, until he is certain
that such party is not already intoxicat
ed, or under Iho influence of liquor. If
he docs so, and the party happens to be
under tho influence of liquor, nil Hie
penalties of the Bet are Incurred, which
are severe; and the knowledge or ab
sence of kuowlcdo of tlio fact nf intoxi
cation would be immaterial. Nor U he
degree, of intoxication uinlerial i the
pinnlty would be incurred, however
slight the degree, if it existe J at all.
The name precaution will be nPui'HHury
'n any cao where the party is not in
toxicated, but ooinmonoes drinking
Cam must be taken to furninh no morn
liquor the moment that which l already
furnished begins to have an intoxicating
effect, Seo. 4 puts it in the power of
every htiBbnnd and wife, or parent and
child, to prevent eaoh other from pro
curing any intoxicating drink from
licensed houses of any kind. . To effect
this, all the husband has to do to prevent
the wife, or the wife tho hulmnd, or the
parent the child, or the child the parent,
, is simply to forbid the liconsed party to
lurnish such drink to such relative. No
formality is required as to notice Either
verbal or written noiictj will suffice, and
it the notice or prohibition is violated by
the licensed party, the oonsequenoet to
him are serious ; and the question
whether mob relative so forbidden to be
supplied is a drunkard or not is wholly
immaterial. The lair plaoes parties hol
ding these domestio relations mutually
within eaoh other's power as regards
proouring strong drink, and punishes the
party furnishing it contrary to such pro
hibition. Sco. 5 requires all bars or
plaoes of sale to be closed at midnight,
and not open again till sunrise, nor open
on Sunday at all. Soo. 0 provides that
conviction for a disregard of any 61
these provisions shall, ipw facto, work
the forfeiture' of lisoose. ' Seo. 7, as al
ready stated, makes it the duty of all
policemen, and constables and sheriff to
ed to the enforcement of this law, and
to act on their- own observation, or the
suggestion ot others in armting its vio
lators, 'who are tq be taken before-a
magistrate ; iSec. 8 makes it the duty ot
policemen, constables oi sheriff to arrest
every person fmind intoxicated either on
the streets or in iwp where drink is
kept or Hold, and to tnkn thum before a
magistrate, . whone duty it is lo inKrro
ft ate the party (Vested Jf not too drnnk,
astAfWheiw, anintioiii Jvhom, aAl iinder
what uircumH'aV'e "8 procured his
drink. If the party is too drunk to
answer this he is to be looked upnr com
mitted till m.ber, and then interrogated
in order to nsceitmn whether the parly
t'lirnishiiig the liquor was licensed, or it
liceiiHtd whether it was furnished when
the party was already intoxicated or
tinder the tu flue nee of liquor, or the
liquor had betn forbidden by the rela
tives, . In any ot wlroh cases the party
so furnishing the liquor would he subjeo.
ted to the proper punishment. The
party intoxicated and so - arrested is
bound to furnish this information under
oath, and it ha should refuse so to do
when sobor, it would of course be the
duty of the magistrate to oommit him
tor contempt until he complied. Besides
the penalties already mentioned. Seo. 1
makes any violation of the act a misde
meanor punishable by fine and impris
onment. A neglect by policemen or
magistrates would also be indictable as a
misdemeanor.
But these penalties to be imposed by
the Criminal Courts are perhaps not the
most serious consequences that may re
sult to some from a violation of the law.
Seo. 0 renders tho party offending liablo
to be sued in any civil court tor all dam
ages which may bo sustained by any one
in consequence of sale to parties to whom
sale is prohibited ; that is to say, sales to
minors, apprentices, habitual drunkards,
parties intoxicated ami tinder 'influence
of liquof at the time, aud parties whose
relatives or relative, as above Darned,
have forbidden the sale. To a respon
sible restaurant or tavern keener this
civil liability might prove disastrous, and
even to one who is not responsible it
might prove exceedingly troublesome.
He could not get rid of a judgment for
such damages, except by imprisonment,
and discbarge under the insolvent laws,
and then his bail for license must suffer
to the extont of thoir bond. Take, for
example, the caso ofdrink furnished to a
husband whoBe wife had forbidden it,
and the husband loses his health in con
sequence, and becomes incapable ot
labor or the support of his family, or
beoomes intoxicated, and in consequence
meets with an accident, causing physi
cian's bills and loss ot employment; oi
in his intoxication commits some depre
dation upon the ' person or property of
others, causing his arrest, imprisonment,
and loss ot time, etc. It is easy to sco
the measure ot damages a jury would
mete out against the party furnishing the
drink in such cane. The wife and chil
dren! and pci haps llm Inn-bund himself,
or paity to whom he did violence, would
uueh be entitled to their appropriate
daa'ugi h
' Tiik voiiKtNuMisN ot'iNew York have
posted lh h plucurd in many parts ot that
citv t
We aro opposed to foreign 'freo trade'
fr thetfo, among other reasons :
1. ' Becwist it drains the country of its
gold o pay tor foreign merchandise, and
leaves us with a pii ur currency.
2. Bcai'iSH it tills our murkets with
fomgn-mnde goods, which crowd our
own out of tho markets. '.
3 Becausa woikingmen reed the
greatest possible demand for their labor.
which is checked by the importation of
goods made by foreign steam engina.
4. Because it i to the imerest of
woi kingmen to have the greatest diver
tity nf employments and the best market
for the most remunerative labor.
5. Bl cause a diversified and skilled in
dustry forms the great element of proper
ity in a free and civilized country.
, G. Because the man who buys food
ought to be a close neighbor to the man
who, raises food, so that they can ex
change cloth and iron for com and beef,
with the lowest cost. .
7. Btcauie trade and transportation
double the cost to those who consume the
products of the hand, or of the land.
8. Beoaue 'free trade' was the doc
trino of the traitortand nvllifien of South
Carolina, for which they endeavored to
destroy tho Union in 1832, and who
filled our oountry with blood and tears
by tbeir rebellion, and . left the nation
covered with -graves, and tilled with
widdws and orphans.' "" ' 1
0, Because 'tree trade nd slavery
havo always .been , companions in tho
cauBO of the traitors, ' who taught the
doctrine that 'capital should own labor.'
, WHO SETS THE FASHIONS,
(The religious press, very generally an
imadvert uponrthe, prevailing .fashions
in female dressWe ,fiod ia Brotherlg
Words, a religions, journal, the following
caustic words under the above heading i
( Whence, comes ,he fashions t ,. Who
is it that deorees,, month by mouth, the
style of woraau's apparel ruling the whole
sex, in this regard, with soverign sway t
Not the imperial Engeuie, or other no
ble and high-bred dame", aaJyou, gentle
roadef, may fondly , Suppose but nm
happy, dishonored, women, the Very
mention ot whom f ir your model in any
way you would resent an insult. 'The
leadership of fashion,' "says a coteinpor
ary writer, 'Ueutir'ely in the hands ot a
class of women who could nut be ad
milted into good society in any ooun
try j who can never have the name ot
wife, and know none of the ties of fam
ily ; these are the dictators whose dress,
equipage, and appointments givo the law
to France, and thence to the civilized
world. Such was the confession of M
Dupin, made in a lute speech before the
French Senate, and acknowledged, with
murmurs ot assent on all sides, to bo the
truth.' This tact goes far to account
for the caprice and extravagance of the
female fashions of the day. The women
who inaugurate them are what are called
lorettes in Paris a class who are baser
than ordinary kept mistresses, and yet
who regard themselves as superior to
ordinary women of evil lite. On them
the millionaries who only care for the
passing pleasure ot a few weeks, 'lavish
fortunes. .For many years there was a
severely-fought battle between the lor.
ettes and the ladies of Paris as to who
should set the fashions but as wealth
and extravagance increased, tho harlots
triumphed, and now every change in the
fashions is set by them,: This accounts
for the extravaganco, the ooarsoness, and
vulgarity of the chignons, the 1 short
Presses, and tho naked breasts which are
now 'all tho rage.' These strumpets are
strangers to any suggestion of prudence
or delicacy. All they caro for is to keep
alivo, by ever-changing, striking effeots
in their personal appearance, the unhal
lowed influence which is their life
Hence come the lavishness, the eccen
tricity, the daring of our monthly modes.
Hence, fair reader, that newest fashion
which so delights yon, which you have
been at so much pains to procure. Do
you blush to learn its parentage 1 or do
you rather reason with yourself that it
matters less who makes the fashions than
who follows them ; becauso any mode
whatsoever, when adopted by women of
the superior class, becomes both respect
able and charming t You probably take
the latter view, for just such is tho bland
ishment which fashion throws over our
social faults. - 'Every one does so,' is an

THE PARTY OF REFORM.
We frequently encounter editorial es
says in our exchanges tilled with the
gloomiest statement of tho condition of
things in tho country, the prevalence of
crime, the depravity ot society, the im
punity ot criminals, and so on, and gen
erally these aro coupled with objurga
tions that tho Radicals aro the cause of
all the mischief, and a demand that tho
country should repudiate the aforesaid
Radicals as a sort of cure- all. If men
rob banks, 'put down the Ra'dioals,' is
olnimed as a remedy. ' II men murder
whole families, 'vote up the Democrats,'
and all will be right. If men nulify the
spirit taxes, 'down with the Radicals,'
and all will be right. So it is to the end
of the chapter ; and it we could believe
all this we might expect, it the Demo
crats were in triumph at the elections,
there would be no more incondiarism,
no more murders, burglaries, bank rob
berics, Treasury frauds, riots, commer
cial swindling, etc. The republio would
be about fenced in, whitewashed, and
furnished with a certificate that the mil
leuiurn might come as soon as possible,
since all would be ready for it. ,
The Pittsburgh Bepublic, with no tear
ot a future state betore it, has the hard"
ibood to say that the reformation nf all
these evils is the province of the Con
servative party, meaning thereby the
poor, spavined, broken-down and wast
ed thing known as the Johnson-Union-Conservative-Demooratio
1 party, bat
more properly termed the Rebel party.
How appropriate that this great party,
criminal should be set td watch all oth
er oriminals, just as we take a thief' to
find a thief. How1 peculiarly is it the
province ot this very conservative' par.
ty to put a stop to lawlessness when we
bear in mind how it -defended the Now
OrloatiB, Memphis, Mobile and 1 Rich
mond riots. How refreshing ' to hear
such a testimony in favor ot punishing
murderers when we know what has been
done with Jefferson Davis, the' ipostla

Ut all the absurd notions put forth by
the ohnson.'pirty, this preteuce ot be
big reformatory, in its proclivities is the
must preposterous. , If It would reform,
its own errors it would do far bettsr
than, by . undertaking td deal with the
tvil that afflict the rootiotry; But, i la
point of taut, its whole tendency it
against 'anything (ike reform, while the
very party which it denounces as tadioal
is so called because it proposes to lay the
axe at the root of these evils.'; The Re
publican party, declared against the
greatest evil of the age, slavery,, ,a,nd, as
a cortHequenoo, slavery porishtjd." Itcle
dared against the deuial of the molt ors
dinary civil lights to four millions' of
Americans, and tbeso j-icrfits were tri
umphantly secured to tho t'reedmon, It
declared against nullification, disintegra
tion and political oligarchy, and all have
perished. It declared that the ballot
should be given to the freedman td en
able him to protect his rights,, aod so it
was. It declared against the swindling
ot ilie people by au unsecured bank our
renc) and we have bow the best possi
ble security for every paper dollar afloat.
Much more like this the' Republican
party has done tp cure the evils under
which the country labored. What did!
the Domocratio party achieve in the way
of reform during its long domination f
Was not public peculation the scandal
of the nation during the administrations
of Van Buren, Buchanan and Pierce f
Was not the policy ot the party to per.
petuate slavery, the sum of. all enmos t
Were not free institutions rendered a
sham by the policy of that party in Kan
sast Has not the party been the uni
form shield of evil doers and the oppo
nentct evory dceoription ot reformatory
legislation I Ot course the answers td
these questions can only be in one way.
The party thjt assumes the name ot Con-
servatives is, of al others, the aroh ene
my ot reform of any kind. There is a
true and tried friend of reform, and that
is the Republican party. .It needs no
eulogy. ' Its record is a sufficient una.
Thp evils that afflict the country are
merely those incident to the close of a
bloody civil war. ' They will all be cared
for in due time.iVortfV Amtncan
MANIA FOR BETTING. , ,
. I I . , .. . .. V.J
Some persons have a wonderful mania
for betting. .A good story illustrating
this point, is told of one of these mania
stnoken individuals. The day was fine,
the occasion one ot interest i and the
rash to the race course immense. Tha
stands were crowded to the utmost ca
pacity, and during the roost expitjng
moment of the race a sea of heads surg
ed forward, the eye fixed intently upon
the horses that came down the home
stretch neck and . noek, straining ; eyery
nerve for victory, and bounding forward
like phantom steeds, or swift speeding'
shadows. The breathless suspense was
succeeded by a tremendous storm of ap'
plauso, and by the shrill shouts of the
speculators, proolaming the odds offered
upon the result. While the storm was at
its heighth, the timbers of the overorowdn
el stand creaked, the structure trembl
ed, swayed and came td the ground with
a terrible crash. The soone was tearful
a promiscous blending "-of. human
forms, faces pale with fright, astfag-i
gling, wildly shrieking, groaning mass,
overcome and borne down by the fleroe
torrent of rushing forces !. Among the
first .to freo. themselves from the debris,
was an oxoiting individual, who had a
perfect mania for betting.and who yield
ed to the first impulse ta the moment.
Just betore tho acoident he was standing
upon the highest steps of tlie'gtaud, and
was loudest in offering and taking odds.
His voice was drowned for a moment by
the crash of falling timbers, but strug
gling above the wreck, ."with '.garments
torn, hair dishevelled, and hat lost, he
shouted with the wildest enthusiasm,
while others were groaning' and gasping
for breath. , 'A hundred to ten thai some
body's killed or crippled,'- '.n .': I," '
