The Bedford Independent gives the
following report of an argument in regard
to the liquor laws, before Judge G. A.
Buskirk, Common Pleas Judge, at Bloom
ington. 1t will be read with interest by
our readers:
Some very important and able deci-
sions have been made by Judge Buskirk.
Among Others was one on the liquor
laws, on motion by Mr. Cox. Prosecut.
ing Attorney, to institute an information
against a liquor seller. Mr.. Stinson,
who was employed for the purpose, ask
ed to be permitted to argue the applica-
ton, and it was suggested that other
members of the bar participate, which
they did, and an able and interesting
legal discussion ensued, occupying por-
tions OF two days. Messrs. Cox, Stinson,
5. III. Buskirk, and Dunning, made
speeches. Mr.. Stinson contended that
il the principal argument of Judge Per
kins was sound upon the subject of sin
alienable rights" the law of 1853 wss
subject to the same objection as that of
1855. ra-
Messrs. Hunter, Cox, Buskirk, and
Dunning. took the ground that the law
Of 1855 was void, and the law of 1853 in
force. Mr.. S. III. Buskirk and Gov. Dun
ming expressed strong moral feelings on
the subject.
Governor DunniDg expressed his hatred
for drunkenness in his accustomed yehe-
ment and sarcastic style. He said that
the law of 1855 was in force, and that 10
was sufficient to dry up every liquor
shop in the State, which he said he hop
ed would be speedily done.
Judge Buskirk gave short but com-
prehensiye, clear and able opinion. to
which all the bar, aRtl intelligent audi
ence, manifested deep attention. and in
which they evineed their hearty acquies-
cence the substance of which is, that
the liquor law of 1850 Is mainly void,
and that Of 1853 in force, except the Sec
tons repealed.

THE CRoPs.-The n. Y. Herald says
1--WE had intended to publish, as is
usual at this date, an enlarged and COM
prehensive view of the progress of the
crops at this season. Rut after careful
and thorough examination Of the papers
from all sections of the country, we come
to the conclusion that all that can be said
in single sentence-they are unive rsal-
ly and throughout the country unprecs-
dented in quantity and quality. Never
was such a prospect Of immense and gen.

FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1857.

We are plessed to note that the Chamber OF
Commerce, at its Quarterly Meeting last evening,
took 10 the subject Of improving the condition Of
American seamen. A large and competent Com
mittee was appointed to inquire into the abuses
which now exist in our merchant marine, with a
view TO their ameloraton. This subject, which
We have already discussed at considerable length,
one of the utmost importance to the commercial
interests Of the country aud we feel assured that
thorough inquiry will be attended with beneficial
results. The Committee appointed by the Chamber
will examine the subject to the fullest extent, and
report some plan Of action adequate to the require
ments of the Gaze. The Investigation will expose
q ~ stem of gross and fragrant outrages, shocking
10 the moral sense Of the community. May it also
arouse our merchants to thorough and effective
reform.

bringing dates from Aspinwall to the Odd, San
Juan del Sur 70 about the 10Th or Goth, and from
GreytO@n to the 10Th. We give the reports, Of all
kinds, and from all sources. II we are to believe
the story sent US by the purser of the Texas, the
aspect of affairs has materially changed; Walker
has had battle in which he lost only two men and
killed Elk hundred Costa Ricans; Gen. Cauas, the
Commsnderin Chief Of the alice, is under arrest
for proposing to treat with Walker; President
Rivas has been assassinated; Col. LOckridge is
going to capture San Carlos right away, and-bus
that will do; it is only necessary to add that Of
number of persons who came direct from Nicaragua
questioned by our reporters, not one believed any
GODS derable portion of these statements. 1t is
true that Lockridge has received reenforcements,
bu: it does not appear that he has done anything.
The news from Walker comes to Panama by the
Orizsba, and by telegraph and passengers across the
18th mus, of course just in time to reach steamer
bound for the United States.
