Violatssa Of the Liesass Liw5.-on Friday,
shs 2la. instant, Adam Grubb appeared before
ESQ Silver, and made complaint against Peter
Wilson, the keeper Of q hotel In Second street,
called the Hat mony House for selling liquor
without license, to his son Thomas J. 6ru6b,
q minor, and for selling liquor on Sunday
The evidence adduoed before the magistrate
showed that young Grubb spent large part
Of his time and money at this house, and like
many more young men Of this city running
his reputation and destroy ing the happiness
Of his fond indulgent parents "ilson had
been notified that young Grubb was minor,
but he still continued selling him liquor. -
Wilson stated In his defence that he did not
know that Gfubb was . minor; that he had
no license, but had permit from the Court
which was the same as license. Justic'
Silver seemed to think that his excuse did no
Justify such q wholesale violation Of the law
and consequently held him to bail in the sun
Of $500 for selling liquor to minors; $700 70
selling liquor on Sunday, and $500 for sellin
LIQUOR without q license. Bail was psomtl
sivsn, and the case will now come before tn

THn wHippIse PosT We did not urge the
continuance of the whipping post in our State,
as has been alleged. By au examination of
our remarks II will be IeeE that We merely
stated the views of other parties, which had
been expressed in oopst quence Of the sugges-
tiop la previous number OF the Republican,
that the whipping post and pillory should be
abolished at the coming session of the Legis-
Isture. These relics of barbarism have their
advocates, some of whoa think that whipping
should be made the pen4lly for druskonness as
, we'll as other crimes. There Is u great diver
city of opinion on all SUBJECTS, and We are rot
