DECISIONS UNDER THE LATE GRADUATION ACT.
The following decisions under the graduation

THE LIQUOR QUESTION IN PENN
E NYLVANIA SAB

The returns from the Geraman counties in
Pennsylvania on the question of proposed
prohibitory liquor law, which was submitted to
the people at the recent election, exhibited so
large majority against the measure, that it was
supposed The popular decision was unfavorable
to an act like the Maine law. But further re-
turns from the Northern and Western counties,
where the population is not Of German origin,
have quite turned the tables. The official ma
jori:ies show an aggregate balance against the
law Of about three thousand votes. But in an
aggregate vote of nearly four hundred thousand,
a majority either way of three thousand votes,
amounts to no decision Mt all, and the people OF
Pennsylvania may be said to be nearly equally
divided on the question of a prohibitory liquor
law. Under such circumstances it may be doubt
ed whether the Legislature recently elected, will
feel disposed to carry out the views of the ultra
temperance men, but may feel constrained to
pass laws restricting licenses, and otherwise TO
adopt judicious measures for the suppression of
the vice Of intemperance.
The details of the votes on this liquor ques-
ton, from the various counties into which the
great State of Pennsylvania Is divided, show Gu
rious results, which will interest those who
know the peculiar Circumstances Of the resident
population Of the various sections of the State.
IL bhOoo IiOt Well lulOTuleu OH lIlS SuD-
jebt, we may remark that Pennsylvania was
mainly settled by four classes of people, repre-
senting different European races The English
settlers, principally Quakers, under William
Penn, occupied Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester,
and part Of Bucks county, on the Delaware,
and this section has given large aggregate ma
jority in favor of prohibitory liquor law; the
counties settled by the Germans, and now occu-
pied mainly by their descendants, such as Berks,
Lancaster, Dauphin, Lehigh, Northampton,
Schuylkill, Montgomery, Adams, Franklin, &C.,
have, in nearly every instance, given heavy ma
jorities against the proposed law. Then come
the counties on the northern line of the State
viz, Erie, Warren, Bradford, Susquehanna, II
oga, &C., and including Luzerne and other coun-
ties in the valley of Wyoming, all of which
were principally settled by emigrants from New
England, and generally democratic in the poll
tics. This section gives heavy maorites in ia.
vor of the prohibition of the sale of liquor. The
region west of the Allegheny Mountains, which
was principally settled by people of Anglo.Sax.
on origin, particularly from Scotland, the North
of Ireland and Wales, has also given heavy
vote in favor of the prohibition of liquor sales.
We see, therefore, that the only class of coun-
ties which has decided against prohbtory law
is that in which the people of German descent
have the preponderance, and a few counties
where the emigrants from Ireland and Germa-
ny, employed in the mines, and in internal i'm
provements, have turned the scale.

The practice of issuing circulars by the prin-

PERsMMoNs.-The season having arrived
when it is our usual custom TO enlighten the
public generally upon the growing crop of per-
simmons, we beg leave to offer the following az
the most reliable information we have been able
to procure in relation to this most important
crop. The home demand which is usually act
i've at this period of the season. is cut off by the
prevalence of the cholera and other causes, dry
weather. &C.; and the export inquiry is of course
checked by the uufavorablc tenor of the foreign
advices. II is difficult to account for the de-
pressed condition Of the Liverpool persimmon
market at the last dates, if the monetary pros
poets so brilliantly set forth are reliable. An
impression prevailed on the " flags" that the
growing crop would be very large, the latter of
course, as they were advised that persinmon
or two of the new crop, from some grower, anx-.
ious for the distinction of having marketed the
first persimmon, had reached the ports, and con-
sequently that there would be no period of light
imports during the fall months. The crop pros
poets, to Judge from the annexed extracts, are
not quite so brilliant as advised a month since.
The receipts of persimmons are light every
where, and the prevalence of the cholera (for
which persimmons are not an antidote) will de-
lay consumption until late period.
These facts are well understood on this side,
and tend to sustain prices, even in the absence
OF any home or foreign demand one or two cents
per quart above Liverpool prices. The stock in
the hands of hucksters is, however, large, but is
held firmly; at the same time, if holders wished
to realize, they would be compelled to sell at
prices upon parity with foreign markets, say
nine cents per quart for strictly acid persmmons,
now held at our quotations of 92c. In regard
to the growing crop, while we do not wish to DO

NOVEL CHALLENGE OF JURoR.-In the ear
lest history fury trials, butchers were not al
lowed to sit upon juries having cognizance Of
capital offences, for the reason that their fami-
arity with blood bunted those finer feelings
which would give the criminal the benefit of a
doubt, or which would induce juror to lean to
the side of mercy.
That Doctrine has long since exploded, but
we noticed in murder case recently tried in
New York, a peremptory challenge for the rea-
son that a jury called was an undertaken, and
as such had so great familiarity with death as to
incapacitate him from properly passing upon a
case of murder. The Court sustained the chal-
lenge, and the jury was set aside.

may be saved even if vessel goes down at sea.
The last we find in the Boston Transcript. 1t
is the suggestion of an old sea captain, and con-
templates sufficient number of life boats to
accommodate the passengers and crew; each
boat TO be provided with compass, water and
food, and to be numbered and placed under the

w" During the gale on Monday night of
this week, four schooners, the Lizzie Throop of
this place, the Twin Brothers of Chicago the
Emo of Detroit, and the Ellen Stuart of Chca-
90, went ashore at the mouth of the river, on
the north side. The f. Stuart was owned by
A. II. COVERT, of Chicago,and is hopeessly lost
being broken in two and sunk so as to be most
ly under water. She was insured to the amount
of $4,000. Her cargo, consisting of iron, coal,
and water lime, was partly insured. The crew
remained on board from the time she sunk, in
the fore part of the night, until ten o'clock OF
the next day, at which time they were taken of
with the life boat belonging to the propeller
Ottawa. The sea was very rough at the time,
and several Intellectual attempts had previously
been made to reach them with yawl and Mack
inaw boats. Those who finally succeeded in
making the rescue, ROBERT GETTY and three
others of this vicinity, whose names are not
known to us, receive, and most deservedly too
the highest praise for the skill as well as dar.
ing with which they accomplished this perious
achievement.

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. 8. 1854

ELEcTIoN-We have returns from this town
and Spring Lake. The result is better than we
had anticipated PARKS, Dem, comes off with
33 majority for Co. Treasurer. The Fusion
lists have majorities ranging from to 4S on
the remainder of the ticket, but their maiorities
are decidedly less on all the important Offices
than were those of the opposition two years ago.
For Gov. they are IA ahead, for Congressman
%; for Senator AT; for Representative 8 ; for
Clerk and Register l3. Most desperate efforts
were made against CLARK and HOPKINS, and
some particulars of dirty work, done by respec.
table persons, have come to our knowledge,
which we will noise abroad at the proper time,
so that electors in this township may guard
against being led estray by improper influences
on similar occasions yet to come.
Spring Lake has done nobly. HOPKINS, for
Senator, has 40 majority. The average Dem.
majority is 36 just double the majority of 1862,
and just equal to the entire Fusion vote at this
election.
AS the County Canvass comes off on Tues
day, we shall be able to give the entire result
in this county next week.
LATER AND STILL MORE GLoRIoUs.-Muske-
gon gives majority for every Democratic can
didate. For Congressman the vote stood l29
