pI- Annexed is the vote which killed
the Prohibitory Bill in the Senate. 1t was
on the 9Th section, which authorized the
search for liquor, on oath Of two voters, Of
any place where it was sold contrary to
law, with the following liberal exception :
"Bm M dtrsil;ng house in ,riich or part Of
,ch;eh Il trading shop ov house Of entertainment
Is not Kept, shall be searched, amy part Of such
d,oeiltns house occupied by another person hhan
the owner or Keeper Of such trading shop or house
IF entertainment"
Here certainly is sufficient guard against
"unconstitutional" search, or an improper
espionage. Under present laws, on the
oath Of one person, any house can be
searched for stolen goods. Yet the sth
section, limited as above quoted, was RE-
JEcrED by the following vote:
YEAS-Messrs. Bnnes, Dars,e, Erons, Fer

the people; and The third by being "rempe-
rance man" among Temperance men, and "al
right among the liQuor-lovers.
Air. Slifer now moved to postpone the
further consideration Of the bill, on which
motion an animated debate arose. Mr..
Slifer said he made the motion 10 order
that those Senators who came here pro-
fcssed friends Of a prohibitory liquor law,
might take the responsibility of defeating
the measure. The bill as it now stood
was mere skeleton, not having particle
of life or vitality in it.
"Mr Kunkel charged the defeat of the
bill to Executive interference.
Messrs. Buckalew, Creswell and NJ
Clintock repelied the charge, and the lat
ter declared themselves in favor Of law
properly drawn up.
The postponement was agreed to-yeas

Another Bill has since been discussed
in the House, but its fate is uncertain.

Gus questions of civil, common, international
constitutional, commercial, and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course OF the admins
traton of the government, and bearing, as they
do upon nearly every subject of civil polity and
jurisdiction, il necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance 10 the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles of the federal gov
ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the

compensation Of its civil and military officers
The subjects Of national sovereignty, neutrality.

and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws

planned 1t is therefore, believed that public

attorneys, marshas, collectors of customs, sur
.veyors of ports, naval officers, receivers of public
moneys, registers of land Offices, Indian agents,

Reports of Decisions Of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price OF three dollars per
volume.
Librarians Of States and public institutions are
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the
