Lager Beer Bill.

1t will he remembered that during last sum
mpr, and as means TO induce temperance men
throughout the Commonwealth to vote against
Gov. BlGLER. il was alleged against him that be
refused to sanction the bill passed by The last
legislature, denominated The ''iager beer bill"
II was also iavoritt- theme with certain editors
in this place TO bpeh forth their anahenas
against the Executive, and give to the world,
what the orlI will some day find out per-
feet specimen of their hypocrisy and deceit. So
u.isrrably was this bill drawn up, SO hasiy was
lis passage, that had il been approved 10y the
executive, It would have been statute too RI
dcuIous for serious contemplation. 1t is too
trur that fanatics, when they undertake TO re-
form, often ovprshoot the mark, and entail evils
on community, far greater than those they pro-
pose 10 remedy while again, the legislator
who: 10 keep up a popularity acquired by ca
tering 10 the crude and undgeSted notions Of
deuagogues, gives his sanction to any and every
measure, il matters net whether II be right or
wrong.
The Governor sent 10 The Senate his veto of
this bill, and it was document which proved
the bill to be wrongful measure, as clear as
the sun at noon-day. The Senate, in acting
upon thr bill according to the requirements of
the Constitution, sustained the veto by a vote OF
nineteen 10 ten. The vote for the bill was as
follows;
YRAs.-Mpssrs. Darsie, Furguson, Flenniken, Fra
ger, Frick, Lewis, Melinser, Shuman, Skinner and
Taggart--l0
NAYs-Messrs. Browne. Buckalrw, CreSswell,
Fry. Goodwin, Haldrmar. Hamlin, Hog, Jamison,
Jordan, Killins4r, M'Chntock, PlaJt, Price Qulg-
gle, Sager Walton, Wherry and Hester, Speaker
10.
This was very decided vote, and showed
that the position assumed by The Governor was
correct. But our object in calling public atten-
tion to this matter, was not TO show how wrong
the bill was, nor bring TO remembrance the un-
fair and hypocrtica course pursued by pSuedo
Temperance men in relation TO the action of
Gov BlGLER, but to inquire upon what prin-
ciple the ten Senators voted to sustain the bill,
notwithstanding the veto. 10 the case of a
hank, railroad, canal, or other measure, where
the policy or impolicy of the measure is the
question, we can readily see how such a vote
might br given; or where all agree as to the
policy of a measure, but disagree as TO its de-
tails, we conld see the same thing but, on a
question like the one involved in this bill there
could not be two opinions. The manner in
which the bill was drawn, absolutely rendered
il imperative, and the benefits expected to flow

House.-The Speaker laid before the House
letter from Rufus Choate res!gning his Office
as one Of the regents ofthe Smithsonian Instltu-
ton. He says that he does this not iIom any
loss of interest in It's affairs, but because of the
personal Inconvenience it occaSioHrd to attend
10 the business, and more particularly ttcausp
of his dissent from the recent action Of The board
respecting the management of the Institution,
conceiying that they have departed from the
law.
Mr.. Meachar, one of the Regents, offered a
resolution to refer the matter To a select com
mittee OF five members, the said committee to
inquire and report whether the Smithsonian in
Stution has been managed and the Funds eX-
pended in accordance with the law establish
ing it, aud whether any additional legislation is
required TO carry out the designs OF the founder,
said committee to have power to send for per-
sons and papers.
Mir. English, one of the Regents ofthe Smith
sonian Institution, moved hat the letter and re-
solution be tabled; disagreed to.
The resolution was then adopted by a vote OF
90 against 81.

1--we are called upon to record, with
sorrow which our entire community seems to
have partaken Of, the death of Mrs. MARGARET
JAmIsoN, consort of Mr.. Lawrence Jamison, Of
this Borough, who suddenly departed this life
on last Sabbath afternoon. A few days previ-
ously she had been out visiting some friends in
her usual health and hence her sudden de-
cease has fallen heavily not only upon those
near and dear TO her, but upon all who knew
her. She was an amiable, lovely woman; an ai-
fectionate wife, fond mother, a benevolent
neighbor, and an ornament TO society. II deep
sympathy could remove the distress of the al
1ict+d husband and children, they have many
tears mngling uth theirs in token of heartfelt
sorrow in view Of this melancholy bereave-
mpnt. We trust some other pen will write an
obituary suitable to the occasion.
