Decision of the Supreme Court on the LiquO
Question.


MAIZE as. THE STArE.--Appeal from
the Tippecanoe Common Pleas.
STUART. J.-This was prosecution
under the act of March, 1858. for retail
ing spirits without license. Maize ad-
mitted that the liquor was sold as charg
Court. Finding and judgment fer the
State.
Among the "agreed facts" are the fol-
lowing: The Prosecuting Attorney ad-
mitted that at the time of the sale. the
acts of March 4. 1853. was not Of uniform
operation throughout the State, in this,
viz: That some townships voted eli
cense." others mo license" that the
township IN which the liquor was sold
voted mo License" and that the act in
question was. at. &C., in force, so far as
publica tion could make it.
1t is not worth while TO inquire wheth-
er it was competent for the parties to
make admissions of matters of law which
the courts must judicially notice.
Counsel discuss several points as aris-
ing in the record. and which will be
briefly noticed in their order.
/. Can the General Assembly prohib-
it the sale of spirituous liquors?
This question does not seem TO be in
volved in the case. The latest act is not
either in terms or in its practical effect,
prohibitory throughout the State. That
it may become so. depends upon the
ha N ne nipp Of a particular and NOT very
proba BILE event. Whenever that question
is directly presented. it will be time
enough to inquire whether it is any lon
ger open for discussion. since the series
of ella borate opinions on the liquor cases
in How. 577. On this point il is not
deemed necessary to 60 beyond the decis-
ion of Bepley Us. the State at the last
term.
The second point is stated thus; "Ad

THE CHINESE REBELLION.

The Oery latest accounts from Shanghai saw
that Nankin has actually fallen, though the
fact seems to depend entirely upon rumor.
backed by reasonable presumption. The
American Commissioner. in the meantime,
had ordered the Susquehanna up 10 that CITY,
for the purpose, as some say, of protecting
American property, aud preventing American
vessels, contrary to the known American poll
cy OF non Intervention, from taking part in
these intestine connections. Others say, how
ever, that in company with the French and
English naval commanders, he has gone to
Nankin, for the purpose of protecting that city
from the rebels, that is, we presume, prevent.
ing the rebels from taking it. If this last
cause be the true one, we cannot but gard the
conduct of MIR. Marshall as altogether unwar.
rantable, from whatever point fyiew we look
at it, and the effect which it may produce, in
preventing the overthrow Of the present wretch.
ed and tyrannical government, as not only de.
plorable in inselG but as calculated to in.
fict lasting injury upon the Chinese direct.
ly, and incidentally upon every nation that has
any relations commercial or otherwise, with
them.
Let us look at the matter in the view in
which it is presented to us by all contempo
rary and corresponding accounts from the
scene of action. About two hundred years
ago, lin 1861 horde of Tartass, living on
the confines of China, invaded that county,,
and after an exterminating war OF twenty.six
years, succeeded in reducing it to submits.

what is called the Mantchoo dynasty over an
unwilling people. The horrors of that con.
quest have no parallel in the West, nor can
we, OF this country, form any conception oft.
BY anything we have ever read of in European
history. From that day to the present. the
Mantchoo dy nasty, upheld by foreign barba
zzrians who feel no sympathy for China, and
live like foreigners among her people by whom
they are hated, and who detest them in turn
have ruled with rod of iron. A more despo.
tic. debasing, destroying yoke than that under
which they keep the miserable natives, il would
be impossible to imagine. Fear seems to have
been the only instrument which the Manichoo
tJrants have ever thought il worth their while
TO employ. In the meantime, while all the
