GENERAL WooL.-The Philadelphia Ledger,
of yesterday, says: " This distinguished mill
tary chief, who won imperishable laurels in the
late war with Mexico, and who is justly re-
garded as one of the best tactcians and disciple
narians of the army, was in this city on Satur-
day and yesterday, and was waited upon, at his
lodgings at the United States Hotel, by large
number of friends, civic and military, on Satur-
day at noon. In the evening handsome enter
tainment was given as compliment to him by
DIR. Bunting at his private residence, in Seventh
street, above Chestnut, at which q numerous
and brilliant party assembled to do honor to
the distinguished guest The General is in ex-
cellent health, and in conversation is animated
and interesting, but exceedingly modest. He
is of light and delicate form, but looks as if
he possessed all the active energies necessary
to carry him through another campaign with
equal address and glory"

A bill fixing the license to sell or barter
spirituous liquors. wines, cordials, malt liquors,
and cider, in quantities less than pint, at si1-
iy dollars, and providing that before issuing a
license the Mayor shall be satisfied of the legal
responsibility and good character of the person
applying for it, by o certificate SIGNED BY
THE COMMISSIONER OF THE WARD, AMI
A MAJORITY OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
KEEPERS RESIDING ON THE SQUARE
WHERE THE ESTABLISHMENT FOR THE
SALE OR BARTER OF SUCH ENUMERA-
TED LIQUORS is PROPOSED TO BE LO-
GATED OR OPENED, recommending the es-
tablishment and opening of such tavern, ordi-
nary, or shop, was passed last evening in the
Board of Common Council by the following
vote:
Yeas-Messrs. Douglass, Easily, Kelly, CAL
Ia rnis, Wannall, Bryan, Havenner, Pepper,
Prsnt Hr,.. "hingson, Miller, Gull, johnson, Van
Riswick, and h.u-lo. ;,
Nays-Messrs. Dv,wner, Mohun, Mulloy, anc
Morgan.
The concurrence of the Board OF Aldermen
and the approval of the Mayor, we believe, VIII
be given to this measure, and it will become q
law. We hail it with pleasure, and offer our
thanks to the members Of the body by whom II
has been passed. 1t is just, wise, and neces-
sary for the public welfare; and it is, moreover,
truly republican The residents Of each square
in this city will, under this law, be invested
with the power of excluding all such establish
ments as tend to the interruption of good order
and harmony; and they viii be SO far response
BILE for the character Of their tayerns, as to
have il no longer in their power to accuse the
city authorities Of failure 10 protect them.
Under this law, establishments of objection
able character cannot possibly find location in
good neighborhoods, and can only exist by be-
ing aggregated into squares that are controlled
by people of like character with their proprie
tors. This will greatly promote the convenience
of the police, whose duty it viii be to supervise
them. There are now disorderly groggeries in
some of the best neighborhoods of this city,
the removal of which will at once increase the
value Of all adjacent residences.
We greet this move with lively satisfaction.
Our citizens will give to it their hearty approval
and they will remember with thankfulness the
public servants who have thus been faithful Il
their trust. That many amongst us ma,
imagine that they could render the law still
more efficient, is altogether probable; but tina
the views of the many could now be united Il
any law more salutary than the present W
think is very questionable. AT all events W
take no steps backward. This law is good
and will not be exchanged until still better i
offered in its stead Let our fellow-citizens il
every proper manner evince their appreciation
and encourage the higher branch of the Coun
ellis and his honor the Mayor to consummat
what has been SO nobly begun.

We commend this to the many sticklers fol
the vengeance of the law" If vengeance be
the purpose, or any part of the purpose, of the
death penalty, then the ends of justice are de-
feated when the guilty dies an easy death.
And we call upon the advocates Of this law to
increase the pangs and horrors Of the death, OF
to relinquish this argument. If the punish
ment, the pain inflicted, forms any part Of the
object in view, it should be increased death
of torture should be inflicted. If it does not,
then this pain is unnecessary, and humanity
demands that the culprit should be put under
the influence of chloric ether, and put out OF
the world in as easy manner as possible.

Democratic majority, COG.
From the Union Of this morningl


The Spurious Call for a National Con-
ventton.
We have taken little notice of this paltry
second hoax of the New York Herald; and per-
haps the little we did take was more than it de-
served. But we find it fully contradicted in
the Richmond Enquirer Of yesterday.
The facts are:
That no such convention of the Democratic
party has been called by any committee;
That there is no committee in existence hav-
ing or claiming any authority to issue such o
call
That national conventions of the Democratic
party have been heretofore called by the Demo-
cratic members Of Congress;
And that the next such national convention
will probably be called in that manner, unless
the Democracy, rs organized in the States
shall, through their State conventions, deter
mine upon some other form Of procedure in the
case.
