l/IHE RESULT OF TIE LICENSE VOTE
Yesterday the vote was taken in
the two Wards Of this City, on the
question of License, or no License.
In Ward No. l 106 votes were polled,
ono License, :" receiving q bare ma
jority of -Four votes. In Ward No.
2. $50 votes were cast, IS for, and
Is against. This shows that public
opinion is pretty well divided on this
subject; and we must again say we
are very glad to see it so. At the
same time we admit that intemperance
is great evil, still we believe their is
a principal in question which inter
feres with personal rights. and We do
not think that the bare majority
have any right to rule the minority
in this matter. We hope that the
question is at rest for tie present,
and that morbid moralists will resort
to more efficient means to eradicate
aha evil.

@A few days ago, we published
an extract in reference to the doings
Of Rev Mr.. Gross, in Danville, Va,
a lecturer on Temperance. A citizen
Of Danville-Mr. Thomas P. Atkinson
pronounced him an impester before
the audience, as man Of his name,
and answering to his description, had
been expelled from the Presbyterian
ministry.
The scene was one Of considerable
excitement, and Mr.. Cross retired,
promising one day to vindicate his
good name. On this subject the fol-
lowing card appears in the Danville
papers:
Nxice'to all Concerncd.-Having
been informed that my cource at the
Presbyteriaa Church last evening, in
reference to a Mr.. Marcus E. Cross,
who represents himself as Minister
Of the Fourth Presbytery Of Philadel-
phia, have given offence to some in

self responsible to Nj. Cross and to
any Of his friends who may feel ag-
grieved at what I said on that occa-
sion. T. p. ATKINSON.

any number Of sclf.created U, s.. Con-
suls have established themselves in the
various towns Of Greece) and are doing
a thriving business by selling passports
to Greeks to visit Constantinople as
American citizens-all Of the passports
being based on false certifcates.--
None Of these pretended Consuls are
U. s. citizens themselves, but they de-
ceive many Of our own countrymen.
One at Athens has assumed the title
of "Chavge a. A6aSres des Etats-
Unis d. = Anse7ique," and signs the
passports of American citizens with this
title.
The Washington Union says that
the only authorized agent Of the
United States in Greece is DR.. Jonas
King, who has charge, temporarily, Of
the American Consulate at Athens.
On the accession of the present Ad-
ministration, it was found that many
hundred aliens were holding the Office
Of Consular agents. or, as they are
often termed by courtesy Vice-consuIs.
These officers are appointed, with the
sanction of the Department Of State, by
the United States Consuls, who are held
responsible for the official acts of their
respective agents. Under the opera
alton Of the celebrated circular Of June
!, 1853, these persons have been dis
missed. and their places supplied,
wherever it has been found necessary,
with citizens of the United States.

'We learn from private source that a
Singular wedding cameof at Hightstown,

had no less than five suitors for her hand,
to each of whom she engaged herselfto
marry on certain day. The time fixed
upon came round, and all of the lads were
on hand, and the magistrate who was to
perform the ceremony was present. The
maiden had not made up her mind fully
as to who should be made her happy lord,
when the magistrate requested tie couple
