HMOND, VA:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH q, 1854
THE MAINE LdoUOR LAW.

The decision Of the Supreme Court of Mas
sachuetts, declaring unconstitutional Sec
tion of the liquor law of that State, known as
the Maine law, was drawn up and delivered
by the learned Chief Justice Shaw and con-
Cured in by all the Judges. 1t is the four
teenth section of the act which the Court de-
clare unconstitutional. That section, ac-
cording to synopsis in the N. York Herald,
directs that If three persons, voters, &C.,
should make complaint, under oath or affir-
nation, that they have reason to believe, and
do believe that spirituous or intoxicating Ii
quors are kept or deposited, and intended for
sale, by any person not authorized, &C., said
justice or judge shall issue his warrant of
search, to any sheriff, &c., who shall proceed
to search the premises described in said war
rant. The clause contains provision for q
more special complaint to warrant the search
of dwelling house."
The Court say that the measures directed
by this act, are in violation of the l4th article
OF the Bill of Rights, which declares that
every subject has a right to be secure from
D'Ai OooohapiO oCdICuGS anu seizures Oh his
person, his house, his papers, and all his pos
sessions. 1t holds all warrants contrary to
this right, if the foundation of them be not
previously supported by oath or affirmation,
&c. 1t is of opinion that the Maine law war
rants and requires unreasonable searchings
and seizures, and is therefore demonstrations
al. Another ground upon which the Court
expresses the opinion that the act is unconsti
tutional, is, that the commencement and
course of proceedings required and directed
by the series of measures provided for in the
act many of the precautions and safeguards,
for the security of persons and property and
and the most valuable rights of the subject,
so seduously required and insisted on in the
laws of all well ordered governments, and
specially prescribed as the governing rule of
t1e Legislature, in the Massachusetts decla-
ration of rights, are overlooked and disre-
garded.

HUMANITY IN WISCONSIN.

The outburst of outraged humanity arous
ed in Milwaukee, by the arrest of fugitive
slave, might have been expected in a State
in which poor orphan child, eight years OF
age, was not long ago whipped to death by
his adopted father and mother, for telling the
truth. In all the records of human guilt and
of human woe, we have never read anything
so appalling and so heart breaking as the
torture and martyrdom of this angel child.
The monsters whose hands were stained with
the blood of this innocent, and who deserved,
to say the least of it, the extreme penalty of
the laws, were punished by ten gears confne-
ment an the penitentiary!
Now. it behooves the people of this Wis
consin, in which crime was perpetrated
which has no parallel in the annals of human
wickedness, and which has visited by their
laws with a punishment not more severe than
that which is awarded to a common robbery,
it becomes such a people truly to be trans
ported with holy horror at the attempt to en-
force the laws of the country in restoring a
fugitive slave to his master Oh, Pharisees
and hypocrites how can ye escape the dam
nation of hell?

SINGULAR AFFAIR.-Charles Ahrents, belonging
to one OF the first families in Prussia and who took
an active part in the Berlin revolution met his
death at the Freeman's Hall, in Cincinnati a few
evenings ago, under the following circumstances:
1t appears that Charles Frohlick, who was for
merly military officer in Austria, was with All
rents and others, drinking wine at one of the re.
freshment tables, and was good hnmoredly chal
lenged by the deceased that he F., was not gallant
soldier, that could smell gunpowder, and stand up
to the pistols mouth, If loaded only with blank
cartridges, but he, a Prussian could wager was
proclaimed that he who proved cowardly should
call another bottle. The two stepped into the com.
mittee room adjoining, when Ahrents unlocked
desk, taking out two cavalry pistols, assuring F.
they were merely loaded with blank cartridges, and
pulling out his handkerchief bid f. in mock duel to
hold it out in front that they could not see each
others eyes and said, you fire first F. pulled the
trigger and A. fell, when F. ran into the bar-room
laughing exultingly, and cried A. must pay the Ii
quor, when all present partly emptied their glasses,
waiting the return of Ahrents, who was supposed
to have replaced the pistols in the desk
The melancholy spectacle which met their eye
when they found the liieless body, turned their
raiery and gaiety into astonishment and sorrow.
Itis supposed that Ahrents purposely loaded the
pistol that F might kill him, as he had previously
attempted suicide.

LATER FROM TExAs-We have Galveston ad-
vices to the 10th inst, but very little news of inter-
est:
letter from near Fort Merrill published in the
Nueces Valley, says:
serious affair has occurred at the head waters
of the Sulphur, in the shape of an attack made
upon citzens encamped there. The assaiants
hung around the camp and continued firing all
night, killing one man, name yet unknown 1t be-
ing in the night, the attacked could not tell whether
their enemies were Mexcans or Indians although
generally believed to be the latter, and, SO nearly
as could be judged from the sound, they were
armed with muskets escopets. A party of rifle
men started out this morning to bring the man kill
ed, and to obtain, if possible, some clue of the
character of the marauders The commanding
officer of the post here Fort Merrill, is determined
find out whether they were Indians OF Mexicans
The ''Valley" notices the arrival at Corpus
Christi of Col Roberts, u S. Rifles who after pas
sing through the Mexican war unharmed came
near losing his life in Vera Cruz by the falling of
his horse, while taking an evening ride with Col
Kinney, remaining in unconscious state for seve-
raj months, and now but just recovered sufficiently
to resume his command.
