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.

Court. ,

bannock Bridge company, which has been

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 "Rump,"
Wc give, under the head of Washing
i ton news, all of interest that transpires at
| the Capitol. 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. These pets of the
Republican party even crowd into the la
dies gallery anil testify iheir approbation
of Stevens and Kelly and Sumner and rhe
other mad fanatics by their hi! his ! with
occasional exclamations of "go it Sumner !"
"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. God help the country if Sumner
and Stevens are to control its policy—

And, taith, he'l prent it,
We do not know tbat Pioviden:e means to
interfere w : th the dispensation of justice in this
County, but we have noticed that during the last
three tonus of Court, there has been the most ese
cruble weather possible ; so that people disposed to
litigation have found that going to law was, even
more than usual a slippery business However, this
difficulty did not prevent a pretty full atten
dance at this term ; and not content with picking
and tearing at each other all last week, swearing
away their neighbors property, and their own souls,
at the same time, thay must needs keep it up un'il
Tues my ot this week. 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
