More Liquor Cases.

At the Center village and north of
there, interesting liquor cases occur al
most every week. Two weeks ago, it
being suspected that liquor was sold at
an Irish shanty in the north part of the
town, Deputy Sheriff Morse undertook
a search Of the premises. The inmates
protested that there was not "the Taste
taste in life of the critter" about the
shanty, but on search the officer found a
big black trunk which looked so suspi-
ciously that he seized it. Some resist
ance was made by the female tenants of
the shanty, and in the course of the
struggle the trunk burst open, when out
rolled ten gallon key of liquor and sun
dry conyeniences for dispensing the same.
The key was brought to the Centre vii
lage, and the next day trial was had
before John Bacon, I'd, who sentenced the
liquor TO be spilled, and the owner to pay
SO and costs.
Last Friday regular Irish drunk took
place at the Center. Some of the Pat
landers became so boisterous that it was
necessary to put them under arrest
Two of them were accordingly arrested
I and the officer was about TO arrest fouI
others, but they were so frightened at the
fate of their comrades that they fed tt
parts unknown. The two who were ar.
rested were kept till they became sober
and were then examined before a magis
trate, but they did not crimirate any ONT
except one of those who escaped. They
were then prosecuted for drunkenness
and fined five dollars each and costs, il
default of which they were committed t,
jail. Caledontan.

JUDGE TANEY AND THE NEWsPA-
PERs.-The Washington correspondent
of the New York BUening Post relates
the following:
-" There are some funny reports about
the answer of Chief Justice fancy to
the application of the National hatelhg-
encer for copy of his Opinion in the
bred Scott case. One of them is that
the Chief Justice, in order apparently to
administer a slap at the conduct of his
associates, Curtis and Mclean, in pub
fishing their opinions in advance of filing
them, replied somewhat as follows:
Chief Justice fancy returns his COM
pliments to the editors of the National
Lnteuigencer, and, in reply to their re-
quest, begs to inform them that he does
prepare opinions for the use of juvenile
debating societies, or of political news
papers. He would add, that when his
opinion is filed, it will be published by
the Reporter of the Supreme Court
who alone has the right of publishing
the decisions
Instead of being "a slap at the con.
duct of Judges Curtis and Mclean,
this reply indicates a consciousness Of
the weakness of his position. The OPT
MON of the Chief Justice will not bear
the examination even of juvenile de.
batting society, and hence he hopes it may
be buried unnoticed in the volumes O.
the official decisions, which are never
seen by the public.

Might of Right VS.. Right of Might

Might and Right have been for ages
the rulers of the world. One of these
has raised the nations of the globe to
civilization, learning and refinement the
other has sunk them to the depths of
barbarism and deprayity. The one has
enabled man to tyranize over his broth
er, to devastate the fairest portions of the
earth, and cast blight over science and
religion the other has enabled him to
christianize and bless mankind with the
cheering rays of truth.
Might without the guardian power of
right has proved the destroyer of mans
happiness, the devastator of the earth
and the degrader of mankind while
with its beneficial influence we see civil
ization advancing, the arts and sciences
fiourishing, and the world ceasing from
carnage and the slaughter of its citizens
