This case, which grew out of the arrest
of the United States Deputy MarshaIs en-.
gagged in the attempted capture of Bill
Thomas, an alleged fugitive slave, at
Wilksbarre last year, has been before the
Supreme Court Of this State, and Chief
Justice LEWIS gave the decision of the
Court on Tuesday. 1t will be remember
ed that the officers engaged in the attempt
to capture the slave were arrested on q
bill Of indictment found by the Court of
Luzerne county, for ssauIt and attempt TO
kill, but that Judge Kane, Of the United
States District Court, discharged them
They were rc.arresled by order of the Su-
prcme Court, and while in the custody of
the Sheriff were taken before the United
States Circuit Court on writ of habeas

Judge GRIER ordered the Sheriff 70 dis.

A WORD TO OUR PATRONS.

NuND ~ hbh 4 u AhVNNs
When we first made known our inten.
ton to raise the price Of our paper from
one dollar a year 10 one dollar and fifty
cents, we were told by some ofour friends
that such a course would cause great
many Of our subscribers to discontinue
but we could not believe, nor can we yet
believe that such will be the case. Some
few NAV dscontnue-but we do not sup.
pose for an instant that the number will be
great. We believe that a very large ma.
iority of our patrons are whoo,soul, lib
eral minded men, who do not suppose that
we can afford to pay the present cXorbi.
tant prices demanded for every necessa-
ry orlile without a corrospondingincreasc
for our labor; and who will therefore,
tender us their support as cheeriuIly Otour
advanced rates as when our terms were
but one dollar a year. We trust that our
present patrons may not only continue to
support US, but that many may as hereto,
fore, exert themselves to some extent 10
add new names to our Iist-ond thus en-.
able US to present them with paper sur.
passing any ever heretofore published in
the county.
Under the prosentarrangement payment
is not exacted until the expiration Of six
months-at the end orwhich time VIC prom.
ise that if our list continues as large as a,
present, four additional columns shall be
added to our paper, thereby rendering i
equal in size, and il possible in useiulnes!
also, TO other county papers in differen
portions OF the state. We ask not tina
payment be made Immediately by thos
who are now clear of our books-but q
the same time little of the ready wou
not be refused, come from what source
may. We are willing 10 wait however
on those who have thus far kept their nc
counts square until about the first of Ma
next, when we expect TO be enabled TO col
vince them of the truth Of our promise /
enlarge by giving them practical ilIustrt
ton Of the same. But 10 those who al
in arrears for one, two and three yea
subscription, job work, &c, we now mal
known that payment cannot be delayed,
we mast and a0jH have money, a suliicie
amount to keep US nhoat in the world
least, so long as charges remain on o
books against men who are abundant
able to pay. Persons, therefore who mt
know themselves indebted TO US for su
scription or job work, could not make
better use Of a few minutes of their til
than by forwarding by mail or otherwi

of the room became so laden with those
anxious TO see, that il broke and came
down upon the floor with a crash, which
caused some to think that the floor Of the

element prevailed for some time, and in
fact, good order was not again restored du-
ring the whole Of the exercises. Those
who had an opportunity of hearing and
seeing, pronounce the exhibition as highly

81 The new City Hall, fronting on Cham
bers street, New York City, was totally des-
troyed by fire, between FIVE and six O'Clock
last Thursday evening. The building was oc-
cupied by the United States Court, the Su-
preme Court and the Superior Courts, the Tax
Commissioners, Emigration Commissioners,
City CorOners, City Inspectors, Fire Warden,
Commissioners of Streets and Lamps, and va
rious other important city Offices.
Nearly all the books, records and important
documents were saved. The Law Library,
containing books to the value Of SIS, 900, was
in part of the building. Most of the books
were saved, many in damaged condition.
The library insured for $40, 900. Loss
on library $1,000
The loss Of the building was about $50, 900
on the contents, $4,000. The building
was formerly the old Alms-H House, but was
remodelled and repaired several years ago for
its recent use. 1t was built of brick, three
stories in height, and nearly 300 feet in length.
No insurance on it.

V Mr. Hamlin Of the U. s. Senate has
presented bill establishing line Of telegraph
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. This 10
renewal Of the proposals made 70 the last
congress BY Messrs. Alden and Eddy Of this
State. These gentlemen propose 70 build the
line, asking no assistance from the govern
ment, except the right Of way, beyond what
they will actually pay for. They desire
grant Of land Of government in some Of the IN
settled territories, through which the line will
pass, paying the government therefor, in teIe-
graphic services. As the bill was favorably
received at the last session, there is every prOa-
pect Of its speedy enactment BY the present
congress.

Proposed Title of 1ieutenant.seneral

Our readers are aware (says the Freeman's
JournaD that resolution has passed the
United States Senate authorizing the Pres;-
dent to confer the title of heutenant-oenoroI
by brevet upon the officers in the army. The
understanding is freely avOwed that the object
is to confer this title on Gen. Scott. We had
-. hoped that this acknowledgement matter.
which was defeated at the last session, when
1t was then proposed to confer that distinction
upon Gen. S., had received its quietus, and
that the Objectionable proposition would not
again be renewed. If we have lieutenant
generals in the army, we must, of course.
have admirals in the navy and it would be
the entering-wedge to great many more mo-
narchical and aristocratic distinctions that are
utterly homogeneous with our republican form
of government. There never was but one
man in the United States, who bore the title
of Acknowledgements and that was Georoe
Washington, the father Of his country and
there is peculiar propriety in his continuing
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1854-01-26
