Refused License,

The Cincinnati G azctte of January
oath says: Thursday vote was taken
by the citizens of Covington, whether the
Council shall grant license to coffee hou.
ses and hotels to sell liquor or not.
There was as much interest manifesto /
by both parties, as though it was a Pres.
idental election. The leading persons in
the movement employed carriages and
omnibusses TO drum up voters, and it was
matter Of doubt throughout the day
which party wnnlL carry. Rat tho anti
license party succeeded. and obtained
majority Of l73 against the granting Of
license to sell liquor. 1t now remains
to be seen, whether the City Council will
enforce the vii Of their constituents or
not. 1t was ir:i'nated this morning that
the Council would repudiate the instruc.
tions. With anxiety we await the re-.
suit.

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.

In the United States Circuit Court for
Rhode Island, on Thursday last, Judge
Pitman read the opinion Of Mr.. Justice
Curtis, in the case Of VIM. H. Green rs.
Nathaniel M. Briggs ct al, involving
the constitutionality Of the Maine Liqu.

dec ision:
"The action was replevin for certain
spirituous liquors committed to the de-
fendants, as constables ofthe city Of Pro.

So, at this time, all classes Of people
seem to partakc ofthe general prospect.
ty Of our country from one end Of the
Union to the othcr.-How long this state
of things will last is hard for any one to
lorescc. Some ofthe croakers, In their
wisdom, predict, we have only reached
this height Of prosperity to make our fall
the more disastrous. This, we think, Is
a mistake. We think, from experience
and observation, men have grown more
wise and cautious, and that the basis Of
our prosperity stands on moro sound
footing. 1t should also be remembered
that within the last three years We have
had added to the capital of the country
one hundred millions Of the precious
metals, and the amount for the forthcom'
ing three years will be far greater, per-
haps double. This, together with other
causes VIC could mention, leads us TO
the conclusion, with prudence and care,
the coming year will be one Of the most
prosperous We have ever experienced.
The advance on nearly all the products
ofour country are unparalleled.-Cim.

The Pick Of this week throws out the
following striking suggestion, in refer.
cncc to the late calamity of Gen. Pierce:
"lt seems as though Almighty God
had stretched forth his hand, and to pre-.
pare the President elect of millions for
his high Office had removed from earth
to the spirit world, the only being tha,
would connect the President with the
future, and by depriving him of the full
title Of father, left him untrammeled, to
be the great father of the American pc o.
pie, and with nothing to live for but to
perpetuate his name in the records of A.
merican history, as good, faithful, and
unsel6sh public servant.
1t is a very remarkable fact, in the
history Of the United States, that none OF
the great names among the American
elected Presidents, had children. No
one who was ever reelected has had a
son. Washington had no children; he
held Office eight years. John Adams had
children; he was not re elected. Jeffer.
son had no children; he was reelected,
and held Office eight years. Madison
had no children; held the Presidency
eight years. Monroe had no son; held
office eight years. John Q. Adams had
sons; he was not reelected. Jackson
had no children; he was reelected. Van
Buren had children, not re elected. Har.
rison died; Polk had no children; Tay.
lor died, and now, among the great
names without children, is the next elect.
ed President after Taylor--President
Pierce; who, by this accident, is child.
less. The event alone, added to his we'll
known Indifference to holding power,
will make him re. elected like his great
childless predecessors; and those who
live will sec our prediction verified.

PAINT FOR BRICK HOUSES,

The graet utility of coat Of oil,
or paint, on the side Of brick walls cx.
posed TO the weather, is not, we think,
generally appreciated. Most of the
costly buildings in this place are made
of brick, and yet there are but one or
two that have been either oiled or
painted.
We observe that the walls of some of
the houses first built after the town was
lail>l',oie assln,n5 a dingy appearance
and that the mortar is washing out, SO
as to leave crevices between the bricks
On brick walls exposed to the weather,
oil or paint is absolutely necessary to
preserve them from the. influence of
the atmosphere, which often causes
the poorer quality Of bricks to crumblc
and chip off from the clges exposed to
the air.
No brick building should be consid.
cred as finished, until its walls are pro-
tected, either by coat Of oil or paint.
The old brick house in town that was
built before the village was laid off, may
serve as an emblem Of the appearace Of
the most valuable houses here, a few
years hence, unless their walls are pro.
tccted either by coat of oil or Of paint.

inhabitants, and the only mail accom-.
mediation it has is from the Portsmouth

three times week, when the road is in
such condition as to admit oft, but til,
case often happens that the water is o
yer our low and rickcty bridges, at such
times the mail stops entirely. We have
been for several years acquainted with
the delays Of the mail on this river road
There is more or less detention every
winter, and We have no prospect ola re.
liable mail OH the river road, SO long as
the unsafe, and wrctched policy Of build
ing bridges below common high water
mark is pursued.
There is no mail route extending from,
or terminating at Ironton,-our only
chance to communicate with the middle
and north part ofthe county, is entirely
by private means. All the efforts and
regulations Of Congress to encourage the

very little avail to the people Of Law.
renee County, merely for the want OF
Pos. Roads, and Post Offices. This
county now has from 16 to 10000 in.
habi,ants, and only about IS miles Of
Post Roads, with thirteen Offices.
From this place to Oak Hill, the dis.
tance is thirty miles, and from there to
Chillicothe, there is a mail regularly
carried three times week. When the
link b,tween this place and Oak Hill is
supplied with mail, we skall be put
into more direct communication with
our ncighbors of Jackson and Ross Coun.
ties, and we shall then have a mail that
will not be liable to be stopped either by
high.water, or by broken.down bridges.
The people at Lawrence, Centre, Mount
Vernon, Buckhorn, Ohio and Washing.

cstcd in the establishment Of this route,
as arc he people ofthis place.
We hope that prompt action will be
taken to get this routa established.

Trade at Manchester was unchanged.
Beef was in demand, and holders were
asking higher rates. r.a
There was nothing doing in pork.
Lard was nominal at 88c.
The statements Of various circulars in
regard to bread stuffs are quite conflict.

fair demand for wheat, at full rates Of
last week; that Flour was in demand at
very full rates, and that Indian corn was
held firmly, and floating cargoes in dc.
mand.
Money was in greater demand and the
rates Of discount were advancing.
The bullion in the Bank had decreas.
ell f2O,5O0.
There was no change in American
stocks, the demand for investment being
moderate.
Bar Iron is without alteration, but the
manufactures connot execute orders as
fast as required. Three meetings Of the

than ordinary interest.
Before the business commenced at the

result was the maintaining present rates
There was much excitement in the meet.

AFFAIRS AT FLORIDA "A.

The following interesting communi.
cation was laid before Congress by the
President OF the United States on Wei.
nesday last: - ..r
WASHINGTON, Jan le, 1853.
To the Senate and House Of Represen.
tativcs Of the United States:
| have the honor herewith to trans.
nit report from the Secretary Of the
Interior, from which it appears that the
efforts Of that department 10 induce the
Indians remaining in Florida to migrate
to the country assigned to their tribe,
west of the Mississippi, have been en-.
tirely unsuccessful. The only alterna.
tive that now remains is either to com.
pei them by force to comply with the
treaty made with the tribe, in May 1882,
by which they agreed to migrate, with.
in three years from that date, or to al.
low the arrangement made with them in
1912, referred to by the Secretary, by
which they were to remain in the tenn.
porary occupancy Of a portion Of the
peninsula until the Government should
see fit 10 remove them to continue.
1t cannot be denied that the with.
holding Of so large portion of terri.
tory from settlement, is serious injury
to the State Of Florida, and although
ever since the arrangement above re-
ferred to, the Indians have manifested 4
desire to remain at peace with the whites
the presence Of people who may at
any time, and upon any real or fancied
provocation, be driven 10 acts of hostiI.
ity, is source Of constant anxiety and
alarm to the inhabitants on tha; Dor.
der.
There can be no doubt also, tina. the
welfare Of the Indians would be promo.
ted by their removal from a territory
where frequent collisions between them
and their more powerful neighbors are
daily becoming more inevitable.
On the other hand there is every rea.
son to believe that any manifestations
Of a design to remove them by force, or
to take possession Of the territory allot.
ted to them would be Immediately retail.
lated by acts Of cruelty on the defence.
less inhabitants.
The number of Indians now remain.
ing in the State, is, it is true, very in.
considerable, (not exceeding, it is be.
lieved, five hundred;) but owing to the
extent Of the county occupied by them,
and its adaptation to their peculiar mode
Of warfare, a force very disproportioned
to their numbers would be necessary to
capture or expel them, or even to expel
them. or even to protect the white set.
Elements from their incursion. The
force now stationed in that
State would be inadequate to these OBJ.
jects, and fit should be determined to
enforce their removal, or to survey the
territory allotted to them, some addition
to it would be necessary, as the Govern>
ment has but small force available for
that service. Additional appropriations
for the support of the army would also
in that event be necessary.
For these reasons have deemed it
proper TO submit the whole matter to
Congress, for such action as they may
deem best. ~
