Their effort to allay the excitement in that
city occasioned by the report that the British
government were about to concentrate large
military force in Canada, endeavor to explain
the movement by assuring their readers that
II is only the return to Canada of the troops
who were drawn from there to serve in the

say nothing, however, OF the rumor that near.

been notified that their services would prob.

The CASH SYsTEM-iiow IT WORKS.
Under this caption, one of our best Penn.
sylvnnla Exchanges. the Waterford Dispatch,
has very sensible article as to the result of
publishing newspaper on the Credit and
Cash systems. The publisher of the Dis.
patch has tried both plans and the following
is his experience:
"In the publication of this paper we have
tried three years upon the credit basis and
know that we have suffered from it. With
a list of 1000 subscribers we ended our third
year. At the commencement of the fourth
year we adopted the cash system and erased
from our books the names of all these who
were then in arrears number we had Just
1900! Had we commenced in the first place
under this system, we would never lost
subscriber-but in these days people get
their bnck up when asked to pay the printer
Our revised list has maintained its standard
Of 1900 paying cash subscribers, and is grad
ualy on increase, and Others will find il to
work just MS well should they adopt it. It's
suicidal policy for any man to undertake
the publication of newspaper upon the cred.
it system-if il does not run him in year
or two-it will do so eventually. We give
our experience and trust that no DELAY will
be made by our brethren to adopt the cash
system-until they do so, they need not rx.

increase of the British army in Canada, are

A STRONG View OF THE SUBJEcT.-The
Richmond (va) Wing, in discussing the
present war .furore, of the administration
against John Bull, Says
But the true motive for the war cry is to
be found in deeper policy. 1t is part and
parcel of the democratic programme for every
Presidential campaign. The talk of war nat
urally stirs up the fierce democracy, but then
in addition, it furnishes decent pretext for
the party to call upon Congress for large ap-
propriations. None but a traitor to his coun.
try can object to the expenditure Of indefinite
millions for putting the country into pos
ture of defence, when war is IMMINENT
This is the logic. Congress is therefore call,
ed upon to open the treasury ind let the par
ty help themselves. This game was CON-
menced in Gen. JNckson's time, when it was
proposed to put ten millions in the hands of
the President, ostensibly to meet the appre
hended war with France; but really to feed
the office holders and elect Van Buren,. The
same policy was attempted in Tyler's day,
to resist the Vaccinations of England against
Texas--again by Polk on the Oregon ques-
ton; and now by Pierce for the fourth or
fifth time, in respect to enlistments and the
Central American question. Within the last
five or six days the President has sent mes
sage to Congress, asking for three millions
of dollars to manufacture firearms. A pro
position has also been introduced in the
House to build fifteen steamers. and anoth.
er TO strengthen all the Notifications on the
coast. These several schemes would require
an appropriation of some twenty-five millions
Of dollars, over and beyond the ordinary ex.
penses of the government. As soon as the
representatives of the people are whecdled
,ut of these millions the war cry would
.olnpse

when IS A MARRIAGE CoSsuMMATED?-A
novel case came up before Judge Bacon last
week. circumstances of which are Ms follows
A constable had levied upon the property of
a man and sold il. The owner claimed that
he was married man and the property was
exempt from law, and sued the constable
for damages. On the trial IL was shown
that the marriage ceremony was performed
about two hours before the levy was made,
and the court decided that the marriage had
not yet been contaminated, and the complain
ant was not n married man, within the mean
ing Of the statute. The levy was therefore
held to be good Syracuse Standard, Feb.

says that last week some person entered the

is assigned for the net, bu. the energy of the
Doctor in his efforts to support the liquor law
is supposed to be the reason. The Gay after

and adorned the stump with ribbons and
drove about the town on his regular busi-
ness. Attached to the harness were cards on
which was printed the words: "Whiskey

eB-The Secretary of War, in the course
Of an order bearing upon a recent court mar

who are in the habit Of treating the soldiers
under them harshly. He tells them that they
have no moro right to treat the enlisted sol
dlers under them in an insulting and abusive
manner, than have their superior officers to
trent them so.
