LIQUOR Law in ohio.

We give below a synopsis of the Liquor
Law recently enacted by the Legislature OF
Ohio. 1t is not the MAINE Law" in form,
but it is very stringent enactment, and real
ly possesses many good features. We shall
soon see how the experiment works.
1t makes it unlawful to sell any liquor to
be drank upon the premises where sold, or
upon any adjoining premises; to sell to mi
nors; persons intoxicated or in the habit of
getting so; declares all places where intoxi-
eating liquors sold in violation ofthe law
as public nuisances, to be abated as such, and
ded; makes it unlawful for any person to get
intoxicated, and every person violating it
shall be fined five dollars and be imprisoned
in the county Jail not more than three nor
less than one day, and pay the costs of pros.
ecution; provides that every person who (by
selling liquor) shall cause the intoxication
of another person shall be liable for and
compelled to pay a reasonable compensation
to any person who may take charge of the
intoxicated person, and one dollar per day
in addition for every day such person shall be
kept, in consequence of such intoxication, to
be recovered in q civil action before any
court of competent jurisdiction; provides that
every person injured in person or property
in consequence of the intoxication of any
other person, shall have a claim OF action in
his or her own name, against the seller of
the intoxicating drink, as well as exemplary
damages; and a married woman shall have
the right to bring suits, &c.

The editor Of the Louisville Journal gives
the following account of himself, on the oc-
casion of the mobocratic proceedings, last
Saturday night week, at which time he was
accused Of being conveniently out of town:
If any person thinks it at all important to
ascertain for himself whether we staid in the
city last Saturday night or not, he can very
easily do SO by inquiring either ut the livery
stable where we hired a buggy in which we
rode into the country in the afternoon, and
through the streets Of Louisville while Mr..
Wards ,use was burning, or at the Gait
house where We spent the night with our
family-or by asking any one Of the many
who saw US in the street. If any one has
heard that we were at Mlddleown in the az
ternoon, he has also heard Cor might have
heard for the asking) that We returned at
least in time to be here throughout the whole
progress of the work Of the mob. And now
to any one who asserts the contrary Of this,
we have to say that we wish him to consider
US as standing at his elbow, taking his right
ear between our thumb and finger, and utter
ing in it with all possible distinctness and
emphasis-"Sir, you are liar, slanderer and
villain" And' if he doesn't like that, he
may help himself rs he can.

IRON BUuDINGs.-An association has been
formed in Brooklyn. with a capital of $780,.
600, for the erection of iron dwellings, and
property has been purchased with the view

floors are made of glass, the latter being
formed Of pure white sand, found in Con-
necticut, which needs only to be melted I'M
der electric heat, and colored il desired, to

o. The only argument that We zee EN-.
ployed by any portion of the press in favor of
the Nebraska bill is that it asserts and es-
tablishes for the Territory "he principle of
popular sopereignty." 1t does no such thing,
however. From the beginning to the end,
there is not single section of it which does
not expressly violate the principle of popular
sovereignty. The bill does not propose to
allow the people TO Nebraska anything bear.
ing the least resemblance 10 self government.
The first section defines that Congress shnll
retain the power TO divide the Territory when
and how it pleases without any regard to the
wishes Of the people. The next section
provides that the Governor, instead Of being
elected by the people, shall receive his office
from the President. Another section pro-
vIdes, unlike any section of any territorial
bill ever passed by Congress, that only cit.
zens Of the U. States shall be allowed to vote
and hold office. Another section provides
that the Governor, appointed by the Pres-
dent, shall appoint all the rest of the officers
OF the territory not otherwise provided for in
the bill. Other sections pro, ide that the ap-
pointment of Judges shall be made by the
President, fix the fees of the Territorial Of
fcers, and prescribe great many minute
rules and regulations by which the people are
to be governed.
The Nebraska bill men are in perfect ecs-
tacies at the idea of this sort of absolute popu.
lar sovereignty Lou. jour.

~ DR.. David d. Owen, who has recent
ly been appointed by the Governor to make
a Geological Survey of the State, in pursu-
ance to an act of the late Legislature author
izing the same, paid brief visit to our city
on Monday last. The Doctor proposes en-
tering forthwith upon the discharge Of the
important duties committed to him, and we
are gratfied that he has called to his aid our
fellow.citizen, Prof. Peter in the department
of chemical analysis. DR.. Owen is a distin-
guished geosogist, and we may look for re-
port from him in reference to this great work
which will be worthy of his fame. He could
not have associated with him a more accom-
plished practical and scientific chemist than
he has selected from our own city. Let the
work progress, and the half of Kentucky Is
wealth remains yet to be developed.

AMERICAN DEBT ABRoAD.-The London
Times impeaches the correctness of the
Treasury return Of the amount Of funded in
debtedness OF the United States abroad. 1t
complains that, in the returns given by the
four repudiating States of Mississippi, Mich
igan, Florida and Arkansas, the amounts
held by foreigners arc either suppressed or
falsi6ed. Illinois, which is put down as a
delaulting State, withholds the particulars as
to where the sufferers from her course are to
be found. Reckoning these with other omis-
sions, the impression of the Times is, that
instead of the State stocks held out of the
country being put at fl4,5s5,OOO, the sum
should be at least f22 ,5S5, 900, even without
making full allowance for arrears of inter-
est, &c. The total of all kinds Of United
States securities abroad may therefore be as
sumed to be little short of f45, OOC 900, or
about one-fifth of the entire total of f235,
100000.

AN OLD SOLDIER AND Two CHILDREN
BURNED TO DEATH.-On Thursday night
about one O'Clock, fire broke out in the house
of J. Longinette, on Market street, near
Broad street. The upper part Of the house
occupied by the family, was consumed; first
story, occupied as bar room, partially es-
capped. The most distressing feature ofthe
calamity was the death of three persons. an
old man named Charles Maddiss, and two
children of J. Longnette. one about ten and
the other about six years t, ID. They were
sutfocated before assistance could be render
ed them. Mr.. Maddiss, we understand, was
native of France, and came TO this country
IN 1906. He fought in the war of 1912, and
was, we are told, at the memorable battle Of
New Orleans. He was about sixty years

INCREASE OF SILvER.-The WASH ngton
Union states that ]. d. Cosmenil, Esq, Of
the Treasury department, delivered, few
days since, at the mint in Philadelphia, fifty
two tons OF ingots of silver, the value OF
which is one and quarter millions of dol
lars. The government purchased Mexican
ingots of silver amounting to two millions of
dollars at 3 per cent premium, three-quar-
tiers of a million of which were left at the
mint in New Orleans. The object of pur.
chase of this amount Of silver is to increase
the amount Of silver change.

NEW YORK Day GooDs TRApE.-The
N. l. economist says that the Dry Goods
Trade in that city, is very dull, and those
houses which incurred heavy expenses for
rents and other incidentals of traffic, have
not had their views justified. A number
have been compelled to stop, and many 9TH
ers that go on, find the profits very small for
the amount of trade. 1t says exorbitant
rents have become q serious draw back 10
the business Of the merchants, and q reac-
ton must be the consequence.

A correspondent of the Memphis Wing, in
writing from the Territory under head of
"Allurements of the Far West" gives some
fattering descriptions Of the soil, climate,
and mineral wealth; its fine springs of fresh
and mineral waters, game, &c. In speaking
of that portion of Nebraska having the same
latitude of Southern New York, Ohio and
Virginia, he says it is most agreeably mild
and healthy both in winter and summer. and
not subject to extremes of either heat or cold.
In summer, with the thermometer at ninety,
no oppression from heat is suffered, in con-
sequence of the constant breezes, from the
mountains, which are as the trade winds Of
the Pacific coast, or the Gulf of Mexico
No contagious diseases have ever been
known among the natives nor the adventur-
ers across the prairies and openings OF this
latitude. There are several native grasses
of very superior qualities, found about the
botto m lands of the streams, which frequent
ly attain a growth Of six to nine inches in
height by the first of May. The granite and
hoioio ioiMobohS oioHS '"O oo""o VI ooh'O
of the streams, are reported to be far superb
or in beauty to any yet discovered in this
country.
The finest of scenery abounds as the trav-
eler approaches the rolling lands about the
sources of the streams that gush out of the
base of the Rocky Mountains. The richest
and largest variety of wild flowers and small
shrubbery line the banks of the creeks, which
swarm with the choicest varieties of fish
trout and salmon in abundance. The gen.
eral character OF the soil, is represented as
being most admirably adapted to grazing,
though many sections of tina, vast country is
equally well adapted to agriculture.
The native Indians in large portion OF
the best and most fertile of this territory
have been gradually thinning out for long
series of years, according to the Evolutionary
accounts obtained from them, and in many
places the banks of the Elkhorn, Platte and
Sweet Water rivers, were found relics of In
dian villages, the destruction of which no ac-
count could be given by the Indians them
selves. The author of these sketches is pre-
pairing a small work for the press, giving q
minute history of his discoveries and observa
tons which will, judging from his correspon
dence, be Of the highest interest to the peo-
pie of the States at the present moment.

An ATTEMPT TO SwINDLE BY TELEGRAPH.
"A dispatch, purporting to consist of for
eign news by the Arabia, appeared in the
New York Express of Tuesday evening, sta
ting that the Gar was dead-thot there was
a prospect for peace-that cotton and bread
stuffs had advanced, &c. The same dis
patch was sent to the Evening Post, but was
not published. The Post says the dispatch
created great excitement, and charges that J,
was a cheat of Mr. Craig, agent of the Asso-
cated Press. Mr.. c. caught the Express
one of his own patrons, in the trap he had
set for the outside papers. The Post says a
similar trick was played two years ago which
nearly ruined merchants in Boston and New
York.
