A wAeIsu N pEPoRr DISCHARGED III THE
MILITIA COMMITTEE OF THE SENATE.


Mr.. TAocARr, from the State Senate Com
niitiee on Militia, to which was referred q |
resolution calling upon the Adjutant Gener-
al TO communicate the causes of the recent
disturbances at the State Arsenal in Harris
burg, has made the following report
Our Senator is great wag, andis strongly
inclined to make game Of our military digua-
taries. The report is a humorous one, and, we
think, admirably adapted for the occasion.
We have viewed the ground carefully, and
examined great number Of witnesses, but
as yet. have no downright evidence Of actual
bloodshed, 1t is true queer sounds have
been heard, and strange lights seen cleaning
from o garret window, at unreasonable hours,
but not hing has occurred to create that in-
tense alarm, which for many weeks; has agi-
tated the people OF this Commonwealth. 1t
is also true, that tall, powerful, military
looking individual, with a brilliant appendagte
to his neither lip, (the proper name OF which
appendage is, to your committee, unknown,)
has been seen skulking around the building;
but that he has done any harm, or was even
trying to do any, does not appear. They have
also observed that, when the familiar question
was asked Have you seen Sam to dayr" the
invariable answer would be. ayes, up at the

A NEW BASIS OF ARRANGEMENT
SPOKEN OF.
According to conversational rumor, the fol-
lowing arrangement. if its details could be
adjusted would meet the views Of all parties:
Russia would not object to concede the en-
tire freedom Of the Black Sea, and the open
ing of the Danube, as also the permission to
erect Turkish forts on the Asiatic side of the
Euxire, and would consent to receive consuls
within Sebustopol lfthis be acccded. the
Bosphorus and Dandenelles could not be clo-
sed against Russia, consequently her fleets
would be free to visit the Mediterranean
This rumor, it must &c observed, is given as
mere rumor.

raonrp,r,os the LAW OF NEW YORK

Great exertions will be made by the liquor
interests TO pick some flaw in the new Prohi-
bitory Law. The Tribune says IL is aware
there is talk of the laws being unconstiiu-
tionai, bat this is moonshine, The right OF
State, through its legislature. to forbid and
punish the traffic in Intoxicating liquors was
affirmed years ago by the Supreme Court, IN
a case originating in Massachusetts, wherein
Daniel Webster appeared for the Liquor in
terest. Chief Justice Taney, and several OF
his associates, distinctly affirmed the right in
question, no Justice dissenting. 1t is, indeed,
possible that some detail Of the law may be
overruled by our Courts but We can spare
almost any dozen sections after the first, and
still have law enough left to shut up the
grog shops" The Tribune holds also this
firm and cheering language:
And it is idle to hope, as some profess to
! hope, that the law Of Prohibition will be re-
pealed. Prohibitory Laws have, during the
last four years, been passed in nine States of
the Union, and not one Of them has been re-
pealed In two or three. the Courts have
upset these laws, and in nearly every case, on
the express ground that they had not been
passed outright, but subject to ratification by
the people, which condition was held TO inval-
idate them. No such ground OF cavil exists
in one case. The law is passed outright--it
is subject TO no condtion--and it will be re-
pealed when the Ten Commandments are
not before.
Maine pioneered the way TO Legal Proh-
bition, and Maine has just stifiened her law
by vote Of 90 to 20 in the House, and all to
nothing in the Senate. Massachusetts soon
followed, but not stringently enough to cut
of the tap in some Of the larger cities; es-
pecially in Boston; so Massachusetts hasjust
driven the hoops on her law. By the strong
vote of 25S to 42-Boston, for the first time,
giving minority for Prohibition. Rhode
Island likewise prohibited; her Judges broke
down the law but the people remodeled and
re-enacted it. Connecticut failed twice IN
her efforts for such law--the first time by
means ola veto--but the people rallied edagain,
carried the Maine Law last year, and have
Just sustained it. New Hampshire has just
decided for it, for the FIRST time. Vermont
has it without further dispute New Jersey
has just lost il by one majority in the Sen
, ate, after carrying it in the House. Della
ware has just carried it. Ohio adopted
modification of it last year, which is popular,
and working well. Michigan passed il two
years ago, but four (halD of her Supreme
, Judges heldit invalid. because it was submit
ted'to the people: so her new Legislature
has just pas ,ed it again rithout submission.
Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, have each enacted
Prohibition and Iowa, it is reported, has
ratified hers by n popular vote. And Wis
consin has twice passed such an act, but lost
it through the Governors veto, for which the
people will veto him.

ity, that the prospects ofthe Lebanon Valley
railroad are all that its friends could desire
A million Of dollars, We learn, has been neco-
tiated on favorable terms, with one house
which will insure the completion Of the whole
route and yigorus renewal of work along
the whole line will be commenced ut an early
day, so that, il is expected, the locomotive
viii run from Harrisburg 10 Reading in about
eighteen months. The fact that the house
with which the negotiation was completed is
not the only one that was willing to furnish
the money on the bonds Of the company, is
highly gratifying and complimentary to the
company. We learn that an eminent bank
ing house on the continent made application
to furnish the loan, but as arrangements had
been partly completed with another party,
their oller was declined
This intelligence will be gratifying 10 the
residents along the line aud the gentlemen
who have the management Of the enterprise
are entitled to much credit for placing i ON
SO solid financial foundation in time Of so
stringen, monied crisis. Weean trust now,
and not without a good foundation, that the
work will go on 10 completion without further
interruption.

C0uNINY MERrHANIS.

Country merchants and especially ladies,
visiting Philadelphia, to make purchases,
should guard against the numerous Pickpock-
cts that are prowling about in that city. We
regret to say that one of our ncighbors, Miss
Jane Finney, dealer in Millinery and Fancy
Goods, met what is to her. serious loss, in
Philadelphia last week. While in store, in
sth street, making some purchases, she pulled
out roll of notes and paid for the articles
purchased, and put the notes, wrapped up in
a piece Of paper, back in her pocket, together
with some silver and gold, and left the store.
While engaged, in company with another la
dy, in examining some goods in the window
outside, another lady, whom she had observed
in the store, rather rudely jostled her to one
side, and at the same instant, some silver coin
fell on her feet. Considerably frightened, she
exclaimed that she had lost her money, sup
posing it had dropped through hole in her
pocket. The strange lady helped her quickly
to pick up the silver, and Immediately made
of. She then discovered that the money had
oecn u'StiaStSui PVih"Pei "S MN" VI Sup
ling instrument used by pickpockcts, the coin
being heavy fell out, while the notes were Sc
cured by the thief. A number of other ladies
present were satisfied that the strange lady
that moved off so suddenly had the money,
and advised Miss Finncy to have her arrested
before she was out Of sight. But her fright
completely unnerved her until too late. The
police are on the lookout for this female
pickpocket. and say that occurrences of that
kind are not unfrequent, as these female pick
pockets. are constantly watching ladies from
the country making purchases. The amount
lost by Miss Finney is about $40. She ha,
another small package Of money in the sam,
pocket, which was not disturbed. Merchant
generally, should deposite their money il
banks. but those who cannot, ought to keel
it in such way that it cannot be reached b.
the light fingered gentry.

BOUNTY LAND WARRANTS.

The Commissioner Of Pensions will not be
prepared TO issue Land warrants under the
new law until June. The plates arc yet to
be engraved, blank warrants printed, the cle-
rical force increased. and other necessary pre-
paratons made. The first warrant under the
first act, giving lands TO those who served in
the Mexican war, passed September 2s, 1850,
was not issued until January IL, 1851. Ii will
take at least as long to get the new warrant
ready, This will give applicants ample time
TO prepare their papers, SO that no delay will
occur when each case is presented. Where
the service has been rendered by a substitute,
he is the person entitled to the bounty, a
widow. or IL not widow, minor child. or
minor children, may claim the benefit Of the
act. Persons within the age Of twenty.one
years, on the 81 Of March, 1855, are deemed
minors.
