Er We noticed in recent issue the refu-
sal of the Committee on State Affairs to re-
port bill for the repeal of the Liquor Law.
The following are the reasons urged for such
a course:
"The committee on State Affairs, to whom
was referred bill to repeal an act entitled an
act to prevent the manufacture and sale of
spirituous or intoxicating liquors as bever-
age, also the petition of M. Ledeer and
60 others, and of Joseph Wier and % 9th
ers, praying for the repeal of the same, ask
leave respectfully to submit the following re-
port:
"The act to prohibit the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors now in force was passed by the
last Legislature in accordance with the pray
ers of large number of petitioners, and
what was evidently the sentiment of deci-
ded majority of all parties. A similar act had
been passed by the preceding Legislature and
submitted to the people: they approved it
by majority Of 10000 votes. Acting up
on the significant indication of public senti-
ment, and what they know to be existing
wishes of their constituents our predecessors
of both parties, with few exceptions, gave
their support to the present prohibtory law.
Though it has been in force nearly two years,
giving the people full opportunity to observe
its operations and to give utterance to their
opinions, very few petitions have been receiv-
ed asking its repeal, and SO far as your com
mttee are aware there has been no general
expression of any kind, either through the
public press or by public meetings, in favor
of repeal of the law. Having been pro-
nounced constitutional by the highest judicial
tribunal Of the State with the exception of
that provision which constitutes its most OBJ
noxious feature, all classes now seem to acqui-
esce in it, though all may not comply with
its requirements. But there is another con-
sideration which your committee will submit
to the House-a select committee on the
Constitution, have now under consideration,
and will probably soon report sundry amend
ments to that instrument for the action of
this House. Among them will undoubtedly
be one submitting the question to the people
at an early day, whether general license
system, or the present prohibitory law, with
such amendments as may be necessary, shall
remain as the future policy OF the State or
not.
"Whatever may be the decision of the peo-
pie upon this question, your committee are al
ready of the opinion that it is unwise and in
expedient to repeal the present law, thus re-
moving all restraint upon the liquor traffic, or
at least not until the people shall have cloth
ed the Legislature with power to regulate and
restrain, if not TO prohibit the same. In
view of these facts, and without assuming to
express any opinion as to the merits or de-
fects of the present law, or whether it has ac-
complished all the good its friends had hoped,
your committee report back the bill to the
House, and recommend that it do not pass,
and ask to be discharged from the further
consideration of the subject.

SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF COPPER ON THE
MUSHROOM RIvER.-We were shown yester-
day very handsome and rich specimen of
virgin copper, said to have been found within
one and half miles of Newaygo, on the
Muskegon River, on land owned by Messrs.
Wood, Arms d Co., of this city. The piece
exhibited to us was clipped from lump of
fifteen pounds, and we should Judge it to con-
tain not less than ninety-five dP cent of pure
copper. The discovery was made by an old
citizen of the locality, who is represented to
be man of veracity. On passing through
the woods, by the roots of a large tree that
had been prostrated by the wind, be observ
ed that some very singular looking Jumps
were left exposed, an examination of which
proved them to be genuine copper. He as
serts that further inspection Of the vicinity
revealed the existence of an inexhaustible de-
posit of the same valuable mineral The dis
coverer has not yet made known to the own
ers of the land the locality of the deposit,
but promises to do so as a satisfactory arrang-
ment is made to secure him proportion of
the profits. We trust Messrs. W., A. & Co.,
will find the result quite equal to this mans
representation, though we confess our own
faith in it is not very strong.

The FALLS DON'T FALL.-The Passaic
Falls, we learn from the Patterson IN. J.,)
Guardian, are entirely frozen over, and the
view is very fine. The spray having settled
upon the sides of the gorge and frozen stead
lily, has at last entirely closed the orifce, and
the water disappears without the least noise,
above the ice--nor can any of its usual leap
be observed.

The HERMITAGE TO BECOME THE PROPER
TY OF THE GovERNMENT.-The Legislature of
Tennessee at its last session passed an act au-
thorizing the Governor of that Senate to pur-
chase five hundred acres of the hermitage,
Including the mansion of Gen. Jackson and
the tomb where now repose the remains of
the illustrious hero and patriot and those of
his beloved wife, and to make tender of the
same to the general government, provided a
branch of the military academy should be
established at that place. In pursuance of
this act Governor Johnson purchased the
Hermitage for the sum of forty-eight thou
sand dollars, and on Wednesday arrived in
Washington and made formal tender of the
property, with the condition annexed, to the
President. The President, in reply, stated
that this offer by the State of Tennessee
would be promptly communicated by him to
Congress.
