has decided we believe, that no liquor
seller has a right to sell in quantities
less than gallon. The Rockford
Herald says: r
They have had sharp spell of liti-
cation in Seymour trying to enforce
Emerson's gallon law, but we believe
the liquor dealers have triumphed so
far. The law partner of Judge En-
erson has proposed to defend the ven

The grocers sold their votes to the

without it they were beat But now
these poor fellows have to pay those
very fellows who urged them on to
strike for Willard and free whiskey,
for the privilege of retailing. If we
hadn't so often told the grocery keep
ers what sort Of party they were
going with we should be half inclined
to feel sorry for them.

ENQUIRER ON SCATTER SOVEREIGNTY.

The Cincinnati Enqsarer, with more pru-
dence than our neighbor of the Sentinel,
acknowledges the difficulty Of managing
the Mormon question, by direct interferen nee
Of the government Mormonism is a do
nestle institution, and they have right to
manage itin their own way, subject only to
the Constitution OF the United States, which
says nothing about polygamy. But Mormon
ism is foul blot on our escutcheon---an
evil which should be removed, hence the
Enquirer suggestsI the evasive method Of
cutting Utah into parcels and dividing the
Mormons among the people Of Kansas, Ne
braska, New Mexico, California and Oregon,
and as many other territories as need be-
These territories or states, having a major
ity Of anti-Mormons, can adopt laws. pun
ishing polygamy, and then 1t WILDE the duty
of Government to enforce those laws, as il
now must enforce the bloody code oa Mis-
souri, legislature, on the people of Kansas. :
This is Squafter Sovereignty Kansas attach
ed to Missouri, until bogus legislature was
elected, it becomes the duty of the General
Government to enforce laws that not one in
a thousand of the people Of the territory had
a word in enacting, by officers they cannot
elect. not even constables or sheriffs or JUS
tees OF the peace. Now to carry out the
new tangled idea Of squatter sovereignty, i
would dismember territory rather than re
turn to the sensible opinionsi and practices
Of the fathers that territories, as territories
should be governed by laws subject to thu
revision and approval ofCongress tf
Let the advocates ofslavery come back Il
the long-tried and safe doctrines that obtain
ed from tho foundation OF the government
till 1854 and all viii be easy and plain. -
Speaking Of the plan the Enquirer says
'ewhen there is an expedient TO get rid o
an evil, thus easy and simple, which con
sists in merely undoing and repeating wha
former Congress has done, and so altering
our Territorial boundaries, itwould be muci
better TO adopt II, than 10 seek TO exercise
by Congress directly, powers which many be
lleve TO be unauthorizcd, however they might
in this instance, approve the direction an'
end which is given them.
II is a subject that has no necessary con
nection or reference 70 past political issues
II concerns the fair fame and reputation o
the nation, and that mind is groyelipg AM
low, indeed, that would treat ii as partisan
for the sake Of political capital" nfu
Certainly IL ''has no connection or refer

duced slavery into Kansas

There were serious disturbances at
several Of the voting places to-day.
The Mayor obtained from the Presi-
dent an order to call out two companies
marines, having stated 10 him, upon
representation Of credible citizens,
that q band of lawiess persons, most
of them non-residents. had attacked
one Of the polls, at which the annual
election was in progress, and dispers-
cd the Commissioners Of Election,
and threatened further violenc upon
any attempt to GARY on the election.
Here the line gave out between
Philadelphia and Washington
1t is said that intens excitement
exists. Troops from Fort McHenry
have beer >alled out.
LATER-11, p. M.
The Mayor directed the marines to
the Northern Liberties, whithers the
rioters had conveyed swivel. He
commanded them to dispense, inform
ing them that the troops were there
solely to preserve peace.
This order was tauntingly disre-
garded, whom the swivel was wrested
from its possessions, and one marine
was shot.
The most fearful alarm prevailed
requent shots being fired by the l;ot-;
ers. The marines retured the fire.
1t was soon discovered that FIVE or
six persons were killed, and twice as
many wounded. The larger portion
of them innocent, so far as ascertain
ed by verbal accounts. Thepaticulars
arc extremely contradictory. The
city is thrown into fever Of excite
ment, and the occurrence everywhere
discussed. The marines are still in
reserve at the CITY Hall.

ROCKVILLE. coLLEeE-REv. q. A. CHASE


We are pleased to learn that Rev. G. A.
Chase has accepted the Presidency Of the
Brookville College, and will enter upon bis
duties about the first of September
Speaking Of his removalfrom Greencastle
the Banner Of that place says
Most Of our readers are aware, that Mr.
Chase was called here two years ago, from
Eastern Indiana, TO establish Fem ale Sem
mary of the higher grade. The old County
Seminary was well fitted up, and the school
opened with sixty pupils, the number limit
ed by the Board of Trustees, at double the
rates Of tuition ever charged here before
Every successive term, the number has in
creased, and nop one hundred and ten are
in attendance
The Boarding Department, established
by tn, Principal, has been filed with board
ers from q distance. We know that this
unanimous call must be considered flatter-
ing one 1t comes from the Trustees Of a
regularly incorporated College, located in
the county seat of ''Old Franklin where
Mr. Chase formerly taught for period OF
six years, and where he is most intimately
known. This circumstance il no mean
coin pllintnl W Htui d5 du tQuCttOE ttu ~
citizen, and justifies us in our favorable
notice Of him.
But his success here is evident to all, and
has become known abroad All that can
be done In the present building. has been
done by him and his excellent Preceptress
Miss Newman. We are assured by Mr..
Chase that he has been led TO entertain this
call by the want of suitable buildings and
the poor prospect OF getting any here He
does so with deep regret feeling that he has
failed to secure what might be accomplished
One year ago he was unanimously elected
President Of the Female College at Indian
apolis, but declined going, with hope thai
building might be erected here. At Brook
Vile, there is large aud elegant College ed
ifioe, and the institution is under the care
Of the s Z. Ind Conference Of the Nj. +
! Church.
However much we regret 10 part will
Mr.. Chase-to lose him as teacher and a.
a citizen-we can not under existing circum
stances, fault him for accpeting the position
thus voluntarily rendered to HIM by thu
Trustees Of the Brookville College. Hi
presence from our midst will be felt-deeply
ielt-and IL viii belong-very long, we fear
before another will be found capable Of I'll

to hang such id abolitionists as

for. Although they stayed all night
at Esq. Cleman's in Jasper Township
he did not learn the character of the
strangers he so Hospitality entertain
ed. When they left bis house in the
morning they inquired the shortest
route TO the Ohio river. Such brutal
conduct, by presiding u. S. Officers,
towards free white citizens of Ohio,
deserves to bepunishcd with the high
est penalty of the law If tho law is
lame, then they should be made to
taste some Of the blessings which they
were attempting to administer unto
their betters. 80.

ADJoURNED.-The Grand Lodge Of
Free and Accepted Masons for the st.
Of Indiana, which has been in session
since Monday in this city, was closed
in due and ancient form, yesterday
morning, and adjourned sine die.
The principal subject of discussion
was the reduction Of the dues ofsubor-
dinate lodges to the Grand Lodge. 1t
was finally agreed to keep the dues at
their present rates for another year,
in order that the outstanding stock
of the Grand Lodge Hall might be
redeemed, and the Grand Lodge be
free from debt. The Grand Lodge
Hall building yields handsome rev.
enue, and when the debt is entirely
extinguished will be an endowment
for the Grand Lodge of sufficient am
cunt to aid it in the prosecution OF

A gentlemen in Covington, Kentucky, in
vited Mr. Jollihe and lady, Of Cincinnati, to
dine with him last Saturday. Mrs. Jolliffe
went over in the morning, and Mr.. Jollife
about one o'clock. As he passed up the
street, he was assailed by Mr. Gaines,
whose negro woman killed her child a year
ago in Cincinnati, rather than it should be
returned TO slavery. The assault was in
true Kentucky style--the kind that saves
the Union. A few moro such acts of cour-
tesy win give the American people proper

THE PEOPLE ARE RIGHT [!

While party organs are intent on fixing
