C|e Democrat •f * - - —i——■ ■ JIARVEY TICKLER, Editor. TUNKHANNOCK, PA. Wednesday. Mar. 27, 1867. jakey on Matrimony In looking over the proceedings of the Legislatute of the 18th January last, we noticed that our Representative, Jakey Kennedv, presented a bill with the follow ing strange title : "An act for the bitter protection of ministers of the Gospel, in their official duties in administering matri mony.'" As this bill orignated from so pure (?) * source, and was presented so early in the session, we presume it has already been passed and is now the law for preaches. We confess ourselves a little curious to know what ''protection" this man asks; and what exclusive privileges he has se cured for himself and his reverend breth ren, in this business. If this law is needed for preachers, why is it not, also, for Jus tices of the Peace, who sometimes, though rarely, "administer matrimony" too ? Does this till protect preachers exclu sively in the right to "administer matrimo ny" whenever, wherever and on whomso tepi the} may chose? If so, Heaven have mercy on the matrons —for Jakey won't. It is to be hoped that the more spirit ually inclined of the profession, will at once disavow any sympathy with this "man of flesh," in his infamous scheme of pro tecting himself, by Legislative e.iactment*, from the just wrath of injured husbands and fathers. How Abaurd. Our forefathers of the revolution were certainly great asse9 when they incorpora ted into the Declaration of Independence, the following silly objections to the con duct of the King of Great Britain : 1. Keeping in the colonies in the time of peace standing armies. 2. Rendering the military ind-pendent of and superior to the civil power. 3. Imposing taxes without allowing representation. 4. The depriving the* colonists of the benefit of trial by jury. 5. For simpending Colonel Legislation. 6. In inciting insurrection likely to re sult in an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. 7. Abdicting government, by declaring us out of the protection of the mother county. 8. Quarv-ring large bodies of armed troojis on the colonists. 9. Sen hug into the Colonies swarms of officers to collect taxes and oppress the colonists. 10. Refusing to pass proper laws for large districts of people unboe they would relinquish the right of representation. 11. Obstructing and interfering with the judiciary, thus denying the justice. 12. Interfering with legislative bodies, and dissolving tlu-m for opposing with manly firmness invasions of the people. 12, Protecting military officers by mock trials,ior offences which they have commit ted against the colonists. LIST OF RECENT BANK FAILURES. —The following is a list of the recent failures in National Bank*, which we chronicle among the other signs of the times: First: National IJank at Meredith, N, 7., failed. Cause —speculations of the president. Second : National Bank of Hudson, closed. Canse—speculations of the cashier. Third: First National Bank of Ncwton ville, Mass., lost twice its capital. Cause- - speculations s, and for ap peals from the District Courts to the Circuit Courts, and from the latter, in ca ses where the matter in dispute shall ex ceed $2,000, to the United States Supreme Court. • There at?e two kinds of bankruptcy, vol j untarv and involuntary. .In the former, ■ any person residing within the United States jurisdiction, owing over 3000, and finding himself .nsolvent, may apply by petition to the Judges of the District in | which he has resided for six months pre ceding the date of the petition, or for the \ longes; period during such six months, and ; shall there.upon be declared a banerupt. — The creditors having been properly tioti- , fi-d bv thi- Court may appoint one. or more assignees of the estate of the debtor, I the choice to be made by the greater part j in value and in number of the creditors who have proved their debts, or in case of i failure to agree, then by the Di-trict Judge, i or where there are no opposing cieditors, by the Regictcr. The wtiole affairs of the bankrupt pass into the hands of the assignees, who have full power granted , them necessary for the collection of all debts, and the final adjustment and closing j up of the estate; and where delay is likelv to occur from litigation in the final distri bution ot the assets the Court is empower ed to direct their temporary investment. — The bankrupt is liable at all times to be called up for examination on oath upon matters relating to the disposal or condi tion of his property or business transactions, and fur good cause his wife may, in like mariu>-r, be compelled to attend as a wit ness iu the case. —In the distribution of the [ bankrupt's estate, dividends are to be paid i as agreed upon by a m jority in value of the creditors, from time to lime at 3 months intervals, but the following claims are first to be paid in full: First, the fees, cost and expenses of the acts ; Second, debts, taxes and assessments due to the U. S; Third, State debts, taxes and assessments ; Fourth, wages to any operative, clerk or house servant to an J amount not exceeding SSO, for labor per formed within six mouths preceding the bankruptcy; Fifth, debts due to any per sons who are or may bo entitled to tlie pre ference by tne laws of the L nited States. The voluntary bankt upt is entitled to dis charge. provided no fraud is proved against him, at any tune from sixty days to one year after aqjudication of bankruptcy ; but the proof un discovery of any fraud or con cealment deprives him of the right to dis charge No person who has once received his discharge is to be entitled again to be come a volunatty bankrupt, unless his es tate is sufficient to pay seventy per cent, of his debts, or three fourths of his creditors assent iu writing, to Ins bankruptcy. Pre ference and fraudulent conveyances are de clared void by the act and suitable pro visions are made lor the voluntary bank ruptcy of partnerships and corporations. The exemptions arc as follows; "1 he ne cessary huu.Nehoid and kitchen furniture and such other necessaries of such bank rupt as the assignees shall designate and set apart, having reference in the amount to the family, condition and circumstances of the bankrupt, but altogether not to ex ceed in value, in any case,lb; sum ol §SOO, and also the wearing apparel of each bank rupt, and that of his wife and children, and the uniform, arius equipments of a>.y per son who is or has been a sol iter in militia or iu the service of the United States; and such other property a3 now is or here after shall be exempted trenn attachment or seizure or levy ou execution by the laws of the United Mtatrs, and such otner prop erty not included in the forgoing exceptions as is exempted froiu levy and sale upon ex ecution or other process or order of court, by the laws of the State iu which the bank rupt has his domicile at the time of the commencements of the proceedings in bank ruptcy to an amount not exceeding that allowed by such State exemption laws in force iu the year 1864.'' Acts of the in voluntary bankruptcy are classified as foi fuws : Departure or abaruce from the State where debts are owed, with the intention to defraud creditors; concealment ot prop erty to avoid seizure on legal process, as signments designed to delay, defraud, or haider creditors arrest and detention lor seven days, und-r executiou for a debt ex ceeding one hundreu dollars,; actual im prisonment for seven days in a civil action founded on contract for jilUO; assignment, gift, confession of judgment, or auy ether act by which preference is given to any creditor, endoiser, or suspending and not resum>ng payment for fourteen days, ihe petition tor adjudication of bankruptcy in such cases may come from one or more creditors whose debt reach $250, but the petition must be brought within Six months I after the act of bankrupiey has been tom- I milted. In involuntary bankruptcy the I proceedings are more stringeul than in I other cases. The penalty for any fiaud or concealment, direct or indiiect, under the act, is imprisonment, with or without I hard labor, for a term not exceeding three ! years. Tr e good people of Boston have start d a clergyman with $20,000 to be delivered to the starving Cretans, who inhabit an In land in the Mediterranean Sea, which lias lately been overrun by an army, under the command of a brute like Butler, plundering, burning and killing, wherever be went. This kind of charity ia all right and com mendable, but Boston should retupmbrr that they have the "Gret ks at their own door, r and that "charily always begins at home." THE FENIANS.— The Irish people are again becoming enthusiastic in the Fenian movement, and meetings are held all over the country, i.nd active measures are being taken by them to render assistance to their countrymen who are struggling for freedom ia Ireland, . _ . OBITUARY. A correspondent of the Bradford Re porter, from which we clip this notice says : JOHN HOLLKNBACK, Esq., died at his residence in Wyalusing, March 13th, 1867, in the ninety-second year of his age Mr. 11 OLI.ENBACK was bore in Martina burg, Va., Nov. 14, 1775, a subject, tho a rebellious one, of his majesty King Geo. 111. In 1788, after the declaration of pease. his parents joined ia the sudden tide of emigration to the westward, and set tled at Morgantowo, on the Monungahela River, West Virginia; now talked of as the future capital of that new State. Ten years later he left that place and came to B r ilke-Barre where he had relatives ; which place was his home until bis final removal to Wyalusing. Pending the present movement to re store the shad to our upper waters, it is interesting to know that in the year 1797 he came up the river to Wyalusing in a Dm ham Boat, for the purpose of estab lishinga shad-fishery; and that he soon after returned to Wilkes—Barre after a successful experiment, with his boat heav ily lade.) with the salted shad. In the year 181 he remtved to Wya lusing, coming up the river in a canoe, with a smail stock of goo-is for purposes of trade ; which was the beginning of a trade of a considerable extent carried ou for many years at various poiuts m the vallev. MR HOLLENBACK was the parent of fif teen children in all, of whom all but two or three have survived him. Such raeu are a legacy to us from our dead an.l buried ancestry; li'-ks connect ing the ever changeful and oblivious Pres ent with the years of the sublime and hero ic Past. Living throughout three genera tions, he was one of the fetv, now alas, how few ! wiiose lives extending to our time were co-extensive with the life 'of our na tion. Within a few days we have been called to mourn as a nation the departure of the last survivor of the Airay of the Revolution. Very soon we shull bury from our sight every soul of the men and women who were even living as babes in that his toric time. It is truly lamentable that this stalwart and long-lived generation should have been allowed to pass away without giving to the world mure fully their r;ch stores of memo ry and experience. Within a twelvemonth have died m<*n and women wno knew mure ofoureaily local liistoiy, deeply interest ing as it must be to their successors of the present and future generations, than any who have survived them. In this view their loSs becomes a public bereavment, felt beyond the narrow circle of their fami ly connections, and deeply felt by ail who remember with tender regret the early struggles end hardships of our fathers, and cherish a laudable pride as well in their triumphs, a in the grand progress and de velopment of the fabric oi society which they lounded. New Hampshire election, The complete returns from NEW HAMP SHIRE make a better show for the Demo crats than the estimate given by us a few day s since. Subjoined are the figures as compared with those of last year : Dtm. "Rep, Rep, Maj, 1866 I>U.4s I 36.i37 4,656 1067 32,833 35,755 2,936 It appears from ibis tab e that the Dem ocnits poded 2,252 more votes this year than tney did last year, while the Repub licans were able lo add but die to their vote ot lttos ; or, in other words, the Dem ocratic gain is 7 7-10 per cent, ami the Republican gain only 1$ per cent. All the comfort that the Radicals can derive from these figures they are lieaitny wel come to. Aleanwhile we beg to remind out CONNECTICUT friends that, if they will do as wed, they will carry the State and three Congressional districts ; for if each party tucrea-es its vote by the same num bers as did the parlies in New IIAMI'SUIRK, J AMi.s E.

This Radical country destroying party is dentincd to be made powerless lor doing injury and, that too, before, many elections pass. Wnat Country ever wit nesses such despotic tyranny as that prac ticed by the dominant party in this coun try ? This state of things will not exist long, the American people will reverse the action of these tyrants, till their places with men having respect for laws, and the good of the country at heart. The debate in the IIoue of Repre sentative:* on W edn.-sday last, on Suutiiern destitution was a disgrace to American civilization. One member, Williams, of Indiana, openly expiessed his wish that the white people of the South should starve in order that the country might be popu lated bv what he called the "loyal" people of the country, and Butler added, if pos sible. to his infamy, by denouncing any scheme to relive the pressing necess ties of the Buffeting poor in that afflicted re gion. And such brutes are entrusted with the law-making power in a Christian land !• GF A woman named Weiss attired her self in man's apparel, in Newark, New lersev, and undertook to thrash a Mrs. Miller, when Mr. Weiss, her husband, came along and, discovering a man beating a wo man, interfered and gave his wife a sound whipping belore he discovered who she was. Gov. Bullock of Massachusetts, has Ropointed a negro named G-ngel Ruffain a justice of the peace for the county of Suf folk.

It is stated that the Princess He lena is next on the royal list for an at tack of cable rheumatism. Hu the national Debt baen Diminished I ; Some aanguine people have allowed | themselves to be led to believe that the vast debt incurred during the war is likely j to be liquidated during the life-time of those who saw it created ; and singular to say, certain crack-brained Badical fanat- [ ies, such as the editor of the New York J Tribune and W. D. Kelly of Philadelphia, have given expression to a fear that it is being paid off too rapidly. The New i Yotk Times takes up the matter and shows by a short and concise statement that the j present generation is much more likely to see the national debt doubled than extin guished. It says: "This generation is much more Itkely to double t he debt than it ii to pay it. The countiy has been amused with the idea that we are paying it tf at the rate of a hundred or a hundred and fifty millions a year; —but it forgets that we are increas ing it quite as fast in other directions.— The Bounty Bill of iB6O added about eight millions. Another is under way which will add from two to four hundred millions more. Mr. Schenck* says this hill will do to begin with," and Gen. Banks pledges himself to vote for whatever sum the soldier wants, —be does not care wheth er it is four or eight hundred mi'lioos of dollars. Mr. Williams of Pennsylvania, has presented another bill of the same sort, The soldiers constitute a powerful part of the great body of voters. They have one common interest, and nothing is more cer tain than that just as long as asniring par tisans want their votes, just so long will millions l>e voted out of the public Treas usy for the purpose of securing thein.— Neither party in Congress even now dare vote against any such proposition. No prominent public man dare take ground openly and boldly against the policy thus foreshadowed, ruinous and fatal as they know it to be Whoever does so is forth with denounced as an enemy of the sol diers—a rebel-svmpathizer—a traitor or a Copperhead more or less disguised. And an epithet or two of this sort is quite j enough to silence any member who, in a rash moment, might have dreamed ot con sulting the public good. Then, too, Mr. Blaine's proposition to transfer to the National Treasury all the debts incurred by States and counties in raising soldiers and prosecuting the war, is pretty certain sooner or later to become a law, —and this will add not less than five hundred millions to the aggregation of the National Debt. And lurking be hind all these stands another class ot claims of which no man can estimate the amount —we mean the claims o? loyal men, North and South, for property taken or for prop erty' destroyed during the progress of the war. These claims began to come in at the beginning of the first session of the last Congress, and were referred to the Committee on Claims, at the head of which was Hon. Columbus Delano, of Ohio, one of the ablest and most considerate men in public life. So startled was the Commit tee by the amount of these claims that they reported a reso'uticn, which was fonhwith adopted, that until otherwise or dered no claims of this character from the citizen of the Southern States should be entertained But this was simply a tem porary evasion of an inevitable dutv. If was like shutting one,s eyes to a danger too fearful to be faced. The Committee did not dare to let the country understand the extent of these claims— which are per fectly just, and can no more be ignored than can the 7-20s or any other part of the public debt. W hat the amount of those claim's will prove in the end to-be, the country has no means of knowing. 'Mr. Delano has intimated two or three times, while urging vigorous measures of taxation in Congress, that they would be large enough to tax to the utmost the resources and the whole country. And we have very good reason to believe that the amount of such of these claims as will be paid, will approach very nearly, if it does not equal, what is under stood to present aggregate of the National debt This may seem extravagant, as it certain ! ly in alarming; but we belive time will show that it is not an over-statement of the actual fact.

Eating (louse Licenses An act regulating the grant'eg of Licen ses to Eating Hoi ses, in this Slate (Piiila delpbia and Allegheny cities excepted) passed the Senate, finally, on Thursday the 21st. inst., and has doubtless ere this been approved by the Governor and become a law. It provides that hereafter applications for licenses of eating houses shall bo made in the same manner as applications for li censes of hotels; that nolicei to keep an eating house shall be granted in anv incor porated citv for a less sum than fifty d d lar. nor elsew here for a less sum than rw.-ti ty dolla s-; that no person shall sell do mestic wines, or malt or brewed liquors, without a license to keep an eating house; penalty for the first oflT-nse from SSO to s2oo, and for the second and subs- qnent riff nees SIOO and imprisonment for from 30 to 90 davs. The act does not apply to druggists or apotbecaiies, rior to eoui'ties or localities in which there are prohibitory laws.
