The January Term of Court for this j County, commenced on the fifteenth i.ist., ] with the Hen. \\ m. El I well President! Judge, Hon. Nathan \\ ells at d J. W Smith associate Judges in attendence. The following indictments were before the Grand Jury, and disposed of as follows. Com. vs. James Cap well, Indictment Larceny ; Samuel Estes, Pros, true Bill. C>m. vs. Willis Arnold; Indictment willfull and malicious breaking of windows, Reuben Bender, Pros, true Bill. Com.fcs. J. W. Billings, Indictment sell ing liquor without liceuse, Geo. Perigo, Pros, true Bill. Com. t's J. W. Billings Indictment, sell ing Liquor to minors, Geo. Perigo, Pros, true Bill. Com. vs, 11. \V. Smith Supervisor of Windham Township, Indictment not re- i pairing roads, on return of Constable.. Bill j ignored and County to pay costs. Com vs. Jauies J. Seliooley, and Or lando Wright Indictment selling Liquor to minors, Stephen Lutes Pros, true Bill. Com. vs. J.J. Seliooley and Orlando Wright, Indictment, selling liquors with out license, Stephen Lutes' Pros, true Bill. Com. vs. J. J. Schooley and Orlando Wright, Indictment, selling liquor on the Sabbath, Stephen Lutes, Pros, true Bill. Com.fit. W. B. Mathewson, Indictment assault and Battery, Allied Gardner Pros Bill ignored and Pros, to pay costs. After examining the public Buildings Grand Jury reported, that they found the County Jail in an entirely unfit condition for the reception or detention of prisoners, unfit, also, as a residence for the keeper. That the commissioners should furnish suit able bedding for the cells,after having thctn first thoroughly cleansed. But this only for temporary purposes, That all the mon- I ey laid out upon the present edifice, should only amount to sufficient for the short time that-will he required for the erection of a new Jail, which should not be delayed for any reason that can be suggested.— That the commissioners should take imme diate measures for procuring plans, specifi cations and estimate for such buildings, and submit the same.at April term,to the Court and members of the Bar for their approv al, or modifications and final adoption.— They also recommend in very strong and plain language, the thorough cleaning and repairing of the court house. This looks like business, and we should think that the commissioners oftlii- county would take the bint without further com ment by us. The following cases w re tried by 'he Court. , The case of Asa S. Dana vs the Tu: bannock Bridge company, which has been on the list since 18G1, was finally decided by a verdict of the Jury for defendant Com. vs. Willis Arnold, Indictment, willful and malicious breaking of windows, Reuben Bender Pros, verdict not guilty, on gronnd ot insanity, and County pay costs of Pros. The Court directed that thg Defendant be committed to the State Lunatic asylum, at Harrisburg, thc:e to be kept in strict custody so long as he shall remain insane. Com. vs. Jude Goodale, Indictment, for * mication and bastardy, verdict Guilty of formication, not guilty of Bastardy. The court rendere d I.im to pay Fifty do!l*rs fine and the costs of Pros. 11. L- Furgerson vs. Samuel Buck, action of ejectment. Verdict sentenced b\ the Jury for Deft. On motion of R. R. Little, < >. L. Parrish admitted to practice in the several courts of this county. On motion of R. P. Ross, John P. Rhoads a member of the Luzerne Co. Bar was ad milted to practice in this County. Elhanan Smith Esq. from Towanda was in attendance during the term. Court adjourned on Tuesday the 23d. A good story is told of a Methodist, •t whose hous€ an itinerent preacher was passing the night, who, when bedtime came and .family prayers were suggested, in searching l'6r a Bible, finally produced a couple of torn leaves of the good Book, with the naive remark, "I did'ut know I was so near cut of Bibb 1 The ♦'ljoyal** Clergy and the ••Presa " Since "grim visaged war has j his wrinkled front" and the mass of the ! ppople have become calmed down and bet ter enabled to view nationat questions in a more dispassionate spirit, those ofisboots o turbulent limes, the political war clergy, have found that their insane ravings about war, and slavery have "ceased to draw." The day is past when a half demented, bi goted, intolerant and fanatical creature, clothed in the ministerial garb, can mount the stump and proclaim to a mob as drunk with fanaticism as himself, that he desired to see the rivers of his country tinged with the blood of its enemies, their bodies piled mountains high, and their cities blotted from the face of the earth. Such ferocious sentiments are not tolerated now, and the dissertations on "war," "slavery," "copper heads ' and "Abolitionism" are at a dis count. The frenzy is past, and'such incon sistencies in men who profess to be guided by the principle of the Prince of Peace,are only alluded to now to show how brutal even preachers can become under the influ ence of the war spiiit and the howl for blood. This class of men were no doubt seduced in a great measure to make such painful exhibitions of their passions by the flattering notices they continually received from the "loyal" secular press. Those journals having no other object but to ad vance the prospects of party , were pleased to drag the church into the politi | eal arena and make it and its instruments subservient to their design, hence, they al ' lowed their columns to be filled with war sermons, and the more fierce, the more in tolerant, the more brutal and hell born in their fury, the more they received the flat tering plaudits of these politicians. The Philadelphia Press, edited and owned by John W. Forney, was notorious in its ! praise of the war clergy, and its columns ; were always filled with complimentary no | ticcs of these Boaneges' of the pnlpit. But |itisso no more; the "loyal" clergy and the "loyal" Forney have fallen out. The war on the rebels, cupperhead v &c., has in a mcasnre ceased, and these truculent heroes are now engaged in a fierce war of of rhetoric on each other. Forney.it seems, feeling disposed to make piety and profits igo together, has established a "Sunday Press." This bold inovation on establish ed usages, has aroused all the ire of the clergy, who remonstrated with him, first, in gentle tones, and failing in that, have met in solemn conclave and denounced iiim as the "man of sin," who lias pushed ajar the door through which is to flow all manner o e evils to fill the land. This "Bull" of the clerical censors has aroused all the vmdictiveness in Forney's nature, and he assails these very men whom he formerly "soft sawdered" as the "loyal" cleagy, the models of plenty, and "exemplers of patri otism," as the proscriptive and intelerant elergv, characterizing tiieir present efforts as the "Tyranny which makes and lives on slavery." Furthermore,in addressing them he says : ''Your doctrines would enthrall and darken the intellectual energies of both races —would pervert tire divinest exam ples and the noblest maxims to the destruc tion of the spirit of intelligent inquiry and the paralysis of those natural rights, with out w h eh no people car. claim to be entire ly free." "Consistent with your philosophy, I am not surpiised that von should set a model of proscription which may be used by your enemies to illustrate the excesses into which even righteous men arc sure to run who allow their zeal to overcome their judg ment." Just what we said of the intolerent fa naticd Abolition war clergy long since, but coming f'oni H "copperhead" it was de nounced as sacrilege, treason, See , by the loyal organ of this neighborhood. But time make* all thing' even, and it is a satisfac tion to know that even Forney, who so flattered an 1 fawned upon these political pulpit despots, lias been obliged to admit 111:11 they are bigoted, prescriptive, and do sire to institute that "Tyranny which makes and lives on slavery."— lnielli'jencer. TAXING NATIONAL BANKS. —Hon. W.-M. Meredith, Attorney-General of this State, his decided that the stock held by Nat'on al Barks is taxable for State purposes ;and urges the Legislature, in his annual report, !to enact a law compelliog those Banks to , pay n tax of one per cent, on their capital stock. The amount of stock now held by the National Banks of this State amounts to over forty-six millions of dollars. This amount of wealth now claims protect : on from the Commonwealth like other proper ty, yet tails to contribute to its support.— The Treasurer says, -'There is no founda tion for the cry that these Banks are al ready too heavily taxed by the General Government, and I feel confident that there • is patriotism enough among the holders of the bonds to induce them readily to bear this exaction." lie also states that the finances of the State are now in such a condition that the t** imposed on Real Estate can be entirely taken off. This could and should have been done years ago, had the proper authorities paid any atten tion to the subject. SALE OF THE If 11. CANAL. A Rail Road to be Built. The New York Tribune of Friday last saya: the Lehigh and Wyoming interests have obtained the franchises and property of the North Branch Canal Company of Pennsylvania, extending from Wilkcsbarre to Chemung, on the New York State line, and will proceed to construct a railroad be tween the two points. This new road is designed piincipally for passengers and anthracite coal, and will come in active competition with the Delaware, Lackawa na and Western Railroad, which now has a monopoly of the business. We learn from other sources that the cor poration above referred to is the Lebigh Valley R. R. Co. also tbat the-Company propose to build their Rail Road on the Towing path, and to cut a new tow path on what is now the berme of the Canal.— As we understand the matter this arrange ment refers only to the 'North Branch Ca nal," Southward from here the "Wyom ing Canal Co," control the Canal, but this obstacle has already been met and over come by the Railroad constructed during the past summer, under the energetic di rection of President Chas. Parrish, now nearly ready for the cars. The improvement will be of great value to our citizens furnishing a means of com munication long needed, and to our Coal Dealers an outlet for their products. [From the Pottsville Miners' Journal.] The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company held its annual meeting in Philadelphia on Monday last. Its net profits for the year were $1,700,000. It extends from Easton to Wetherly, some seventy miles long,with side lines through the Mahanoy coal region Ac. The Company has in contemplation extensive connections north, into the State. It will also, under a decision of the Su preme Court of this State, extend its road into the Wyoming Valley, a prolific coal region. The North American contains the agree ment entered into between the Philadel phia and Reading and the Atlantic and Great Western Railroads, which also em braces the East Pennsylvania, Western Central, and the Lewisburg and Spruce Creek Railroad Companies, The EaSt Pennsylvania Railroad Company are to extend their road to Easton, to connect with the Morris and Essex road at that point, and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad will construct a branch road lead ing from their main branch for a point in the neighborhood of Port Clinton or Ham burg, to connect with the East Per.nsylva nia Railroad at Topton, thus furnishing a connection fcom that point to New York via. the Morris and Essex u-td. Tne Phiade'phia and Reading Railroad and the Atlantic and Great Western Rail road Company are to furnish cne-lialf the sum necessary to rue a line of steamers be tween Philadelphia and Liverpool as soon as the other halt' of the funds is furnished bv other parties— Pittston Gazette. Test Oaths During the Administration of Mr. Lin coln the Republican newspapers published, with extravagant commendation, an opin of the Hon. Edward Bates, then Attorney General of the United Slates, which affirm ed the power of the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus. "Eminent jur ist," "venerable statesmen," "profound mas ter of constitutional law"—these and many more flattering epithets were on Mr. Bates trust that the newspapers which found such vast merit in Mr. Bates' views on the hm beai corpus question, will be eqally delight ed with his opinion ofte>t of oaths, recent ly published, from which it gives us pleas ure to present the following extract: Test oaths, odious, oppressive, and cow ard'y always,are always the result of des perate parties who (as violent as timiuity can make them) seize upon this method to weaken their adversaries, whom they are afraid to meet in fair and open contioversy. It was of frequent oecnrance dining the French Revolution, and one remarkable instance has been preserved for our instruc tion bv the great historian of that epoch, The two legislative Counsels—the Ancients and the Five Hundred —imputing to their adversaries the crime of royalism, hoped by an adroit trick to get rid' of their pres ence in the councils, and their influence with the people. And so in the forged name of Republicani-m, they decreed that all the members ot' the counties should, on a certain day, take an oath of hatred to roy alty. The opposition (quite as good Re publicans, in tact, as their hypocritical op pressors) resisted as best they could, com plained and protested — but they took the oath —for they had no notion of deserting their place ir. the government, and thus leaving their unprincipled adversaries, un resisted, to work out their wicked will in the misgovernment of the country. And the philosophic historian dismisses the sub ject with this brief remark : "This formali ty of an oath, so frequently employed by parties, never could be considered as a guarantee; it lias never been anything but an annoyance of the conquerors, who have taken delight in forcing the conquered to perjure themselves." That was the crafty policy of the French Revolutionary Radicals—and our revolu tionary Radicals do but follow their exam ple And we may indulge the hope that the reign of our Radicals will be made as brief as that of their great examples, and by the same cause—the follies and their Yhe State Flah Convention. llarkisbuko, Jan 10. —The Pish Con- : vention, which met in the hall of the House j B of Representatives this afternoon, was with i out doubt, the largest deliberation that ever e assembled in Harrisburg. Credentials ° ] were pr< seated for over six hundred dole- : gate*, three hundred and twenty of whom t were present, representing every county 1 bordering on the Sasqtiehanna river and t principal tributaries, which justly contains ' nearly a third of the entire population of 1 of the State. 1 Hon. Simon Cameron, of Danpliin covin- j ty, presided, assisted by a Vice President 1 for every county represented, The committee reported resolutions ask ing the Legislature to pass a law compell ing the owners of dams ii. the Susquehanna and its principal tributaries to alter them by step way sluices, so as to permit the pav.-age of shad and other fish, and thus restore what was formerly a lead.ng inte rest in the State. j The committee also reported a b 11, to be ; submitted to the Legislature, providing for the construction of sncli sluices in the dams by the companies owning the same, under the penalty-of paying a fine of not less than J five nor more than twenty thousand dollars and also liable to be indicted for maintain ing a nuisance, which, upon conviction in the court, shall be removed as nuisances are now by law removable. j * The bill also comprehends the appoint- j ment of a commissioner by the Governor, whose duty it is to superintend the erec tion of the aforesaid stepwav sluices, report | upon the same, and, if not constructed ac-1 j cording to the provisions of the law to re- j , port the dereliction to the prosecuting at-! ( torney of the county wherein the dam is 1 constructed who shall prepare the neccssa-1 ' ry indictment for prosecution. , The resolution was unanimously adopt- | cd, but in consequence of the incomplete ' state of the bill, this latter was referied to 1 , a State Executive Committee of thirteen, | to be appointed by the President, whose 1 dutv it will be to perfect the bill and sub- ' rait to the Legislature for their action. Several speeches were made by promi— , nent gentlemen from various parts of the i State, in reference to the objects for wtiich 1 the convention assembled, all taking strong j j grounds in favor of the passage of the bill j i reported, and represented their contituen-' cv as being a unit for legislative action in ' ' . I the premises. The convention, after making provision j i for its proceedings being published, ad- j joutned fine die. Bleeding Hearts vs Bleeding Purses. Luzerne juries are a gallant set of fellows judging from the way they pile it on the 1 old chaps of 61 years, who trifle with the j tender feelings of young ladies of 23 We i see, by the report of the Court proceedings j of Luzerne county, that one Chauncy A. | Reynolds, a u gav old deceiver" of Wilkes- ! barre, lias been mulcted in damages to the amount o $14,000 for breaking his piom- ; ise to marry a New York girl, narmd Car olir.e Bradley. $ 14,000 !! Well, Caro- 1 line ought to he satisfied. What is there in an old codg.-r 61 years old, compared to j 14,000 in greenbacks. Willi that amount of the "ready," "Cairie" can buy lots of young fellows to take old Chauncy's place, j The Luzerne Union commenting on this case very ungallantly says : The verdict of the jury in the breach of J promise ease of Miss Carrie Bradley, of New York, vs. Chauncy A. Reynolds, <>f this bonuigh, last work, struck the pubiic 1 mind with astonishment. We scarcely ! heard any one speak <>f it except to de nounce it as most excessive and unjust. If $14,000 for a breach of proims*, in a suit brought by a girl ol 23 against a man of 61 had been awarded by a New Yoik jury, it might not have created so much surprise - j but tha* a jury of plain Luzerne counrv far mers could be worked up to nUcli a point, is : passing strange! ' Ho, all ye pretty girls take notice; if ye can but find a rich wid ower in search of a wife, ciptivate hiin ; and then if he refuses to marry, go in and : win—$14,000. — Ex.

The whole time of the j "Rump" is taken up with the niggef*; ev- 1 ! ery debate turns on the "cullud cuss." — i Correspondents say that the principal part | of the audit nee now that fills th • galleries of the halls of Congress are lusty negroes and greasy wenches.

"pitch in de copperhdads, Kelly !" "Fotch cm, Thad !" Thus is legislation trifled and the nation disgraced by such disgust ing outrages on all decency. This Rump Congress is a type of the National Assem bly of France, when Robespierre, and Dan ton, and Marat, and the other bloodv mon sters of the reign of terror, indulged in their vulgar tirades and unseemly exhibi tions to the edification of the sanculottes and other ferocious wretches of Paris who crowded the galleries to listed and applaud them.

What a harvest for the land sharks ! Surely this county must be getting sally demoralized ! There was one case which crowded the court room with spectators, and which afforded a witty member of the bar an opportunity to get off a -joke, which will bear repetition. It was a question of disputed paternity for one of those little human waif 3, who occasionally onwelcomely obtrude themselves upon the stage o! life. In referring to four young men who had been upon the stand as witnesses in the case—and to their own disgrace- the counsel re marked : "That in after life, if this woman should ever see these four young men to-ether, she could take her litile child by the hand, and pointing thcin out, say ,o it, what none of us would ever b able to say to each other, Behold you r fore- f athcrs /" Considering that it was Court week, there has been but very little drunkenness. There were two young men, devotees of the gad < f music, amd whom we have had occasion to notice before, who were ' not drunk, but very tirod.*' The same night a little incident occurred which shows how necessari it is for some men to have a guardian angel in the shape of a wife to watch over them and keep ihetn in the path of rectitude A gen'lemnn who drew a prize in Uncle Abe's lottery, but who, rather than accept, became an exile fr tn hr me and the anus of a young wife, finding the danger passed, returned a short time since to the bosom of his family. But in his long abence he had fallen into evil habits, and became attached to such games as euchre, poker, aud seven-up ; and as scon as the warmth of the first home welcome was over, sough* to indulge himself in a social game 'Twos midnight! Gathered around a table in that underground region known as the I 'sweat-pit,' the absconding conscript and three boon compani ns were deep in the mysteries of a game of euchre,when like an angel of dght in the gloom of the den ap peared the lonely and forsaken young wife and earnestly entreated her "lord and master" to come home With a bitter curse upon bis lips the "gay gain holies'' dashed down the cards,and accompanied nis wife to the comforts of a home and the pleasures of a caudle lecture Saturday lit*le excitement was ereated by the ox-chiof-of-po!ice, showing off sae paces 'tod fine p (ints of a horse what would'nt go if any body hol lere I, whoa !
