COY. POLLOCK ON LIQUOR.

We find the following allusion to the restriction OF
the sale of Intoxicating liquor in the recent Message oil
the Governor of Pennsy vania
Legislation in relation to all questions OF moral
and social reform should be carefully and wisely con-
sidered and matured. On subject, within the con-
sttutiona authority Of the Legislature are the people
so sensitive; and 10 deeply interests every
class aud condition Of society Sumptuary laws, as
general rule, are OF doubtful expectancy; and as
abrgements of the liberty and privileges of the citl-
zen can only We justified the ground of necessity
While this IL admitted. it cannot be denied that the
evils resulting from intemperance, create necessity
for regulating and restraining by legislative acts the
traffic and sale of intoxicating liquors. To what extent
this traffic should be restrained by positive law, must
depend the will of the people, determined by con-
sidsratons Of their own moral physical and social well
fare. Whatever may be my opinion, or that OF the
Legislature or the people in reference to the law of the
last session to restrain the sale ofntoxcatng liquors.,
it must be admitted that full return to the license sys
TEN in operation prior to the passage ofthe present law
is not demanded by enlightened public sentiment, aud
would not promote the good order or happiness of the
community. That the laws then in existence were inn
perfect and failed to check or control the evils OF in-
temperance, is proposition plain to be doubted;
that they needed revision must be conceded. Ia our
large cities and towns the evils Of the system were
more severely felt. The facilities and cheapness with
which licenses were obtained operated as premium
to vice and immortality, and multiplied tipping houses
and places where intemperance, under the authority
of law, not only permitted, but encouraged. My
immediate predecessor, in his last Annual Message to
the Legislature, in reference to the then license laws,
says: $50 far relates TO the City of Philadelphia,
"they peculiarly prjudical to public morals, and
seem to have been constructed TO promote the con-
"venience of drinking far more than TO restrain its
"evi consequences" In this opinion fully concur.
That remedy was demanded all will concede.
Whether the law of the last session the proper
remedy, il is not my province now to determine. En-.
acted by the representatives of the people, gave that
act my Official approval. Recognizing the people as
the source of all political power, and their representa-
tives as the immediate opponents Of their will, upon
ton, if any, this subject. In all its relations,
nomical political social and moral, the question i'm.
porant, and it, proper determination involves fearful
responsibilities. Il deserves aud should receive your
serious consideration If action il had, may not
hope that IT will be such will promote the virtue
morality, and true interests Of our people aud Com
monweath.

TIoRRID AFFAIR IN MAYsyILLE-NEGRo BURNED

whose family connections are described as 0t the

retired to bed attempted TO the barkeeper to
procure more liquor and failing in this and succeeding
in finding yellow man, of the walters, asleep,
they concluded to set tire TO ham IN order TO aUakeH
him With this view they took a camphene lamp,
and pouring the fluid his whskers gnited 1t, and
the poor fellows neck and head became instantly
wrapped in an intense blaze which continued until the
fluid was consumed. The suerings Of the victim Were
dreadful in the extreme. No refinement Of torture
could have produced more excruciating misery. But
strange say, death did not release him from torment
until after the lapse of two weeks The poor creature
was the slave of Mr.. Ball. keeper Of the Parker House
who says as our informant tells U.S. that no human ..s
frng could exceed that Of his boy during the fortnight
that he lived after the burning The young men

in this horror said TO alege that they burned the
negro by accident; that when holding the lamp 70 his
face they managed to break it and spill the fiery Aud
upon him. The young are rich They have
agreed to pay Mr. Ball 81 200 for the loss Of bis servant
