THE LIQUOR LICENSE LAVA gentleman
who has observed the workings of the new IL
cenSe law gives us the following item: This
law, enacted by the last Legislature of this
State, although thought to contain many OBJ
lectlonable features by some persons, when
first 1t become law, now, since it has been in
practical operation for near two months, seems
to produce better results and exert a greater
moral influence in this locality than any pre-
vlous, similar law ever enacted. While it
does not restrict the sale of liquor on the old
law, 1t raises the price Of obtaining a license so
high as to prevent many small groceries from
the sale OF It, and at the same time places the
penalty so high for selling without-fiftv dol
lars, we think it is, one half of which the in
former rcceves-that but few are willing to
run the risk Of puni ,hment for the Illicit sale.
The effect Ofthis Law in this town, has been
TO close all GROCERIES on Sunday, and the IIo-
telS that used to keep the side door open on
that day, have, we believe, rigidly kept it clos
ed ever since. And now our Sundays are so
quiet and orderly that even the most strict re-
hglonlst has not cause to complain, while those
t,opelS who used to be seen sitting around loose
during church hours, discussing all sorts of
subjects may now he seen clcany and decently
dressed, every Sunday morning, either attend
InG some place of worship or otherwise respect
fully engaged with family duties.
We hope this state of affairs NAV long be
continued.

mends itself to all patriotic citizens The Com.
mlttee have already expended nearly So. .OOO
mainly derived from the private contribution,
OF Senators and Representatives. and their
purse is now empty. They haye sent more
than 10 active aud intelligent speakers and Or
ganlzers through the South; they have dis
tnbuted an immense number Of documents :
they have formed Republican Clubs and Com
mttees in every State and they express the
unhesltatiuL cou3icti0n that with a reasonable
per'I-to.-- A.,+ energy on our part we may
carry the whole South at the next elections
But the Southern loyalsts are poor they can
give little except their votes to the cause OF
the country; the necessary expenses of the
campaign must be betrayed mainly by the
Union party of the North. One hundred dol
lars now' say the Comlnttee, will accomplish
far more than $1,000 year hence. Comm.
nications should be addressed to the Hon

1UUNG MEN CHRISTIAN Association. :
A meeting was held last evening at St Peter $
Church, in this town, for the porpOSe of Or
ganizing Young Mem S Christian Association.
| On motion Of DR.. VIM. Cummins, Rev. DR..
MOrsell was elected chairman of the meeting,
and Jos. H. Hoffecker, secretary.
After the chairman had stated the object of
the meeting, Mr.. VIM. f. Z. Morseil, the
prime mover of the enterprise, explained the
objects OF Christian Associations, and made an
earnest appeal to the young men to become
identified with the work. He stated that II Hsl.
aware! at the recent national convention of the
Association, was rot represented there being
no organization OF the kind in the State.
heV. VIM. Is. Culllss, Secretary of the Phil
adelphla Association, next followed in an in
terestlng address. lie explained the working
OF his association, and believed it was eXerting
powerful influence among the forty thousand
young men Of his city, and especially among
the twelve Thousand young men who have
come from the country to live in the city, and
have not the attractions and influences of home
to shield them. Such are always sought after
and brought under influence of the association.
lie was followed by Revs YIN. b. Gregg,
DIR. MOrsell and 5. L. Gracey, after which the
names of persons wishing to become members
of the Association were taken.
Alter some debate with regard to the mode
Of organization it was, on notion decided to
constitute those present who had signed the
list an association. A form of constitution
was then adopted, to be revised at subse-
quent meeting Of the Association.
A board of managers was next elected to
complete the organization at a subsequent
meeting of the Association, to be called by the
chairman of said board The following gen.
| tlemen constitute the board of managers Il.

Poor PROSPECT Saturday, when the
President veto of the supplementary recon
structlon bill was read, SO violent was the Ian
guage used in it that several Congressman in.
terred that he intended to disregard the law
II made over his Veto The advocates of i'm
peachment Immediately came forth, urging
their scheme with considerable force, and
showed such formidable front that many are
of opinion that the scheme will be "carried
out during the winter session. Such will not
be the case, however, Judging from the tone
of most Of the leading Republican papers.
Though uppermost on the spur ofthe moment.
perhaps, calmer reflection will demonstrate
the futiljty Of the move under present provo
cations The y. Y. Tribune of Monday saws
"A great many RASH unwise projects are
preached IN either House, but how few ofthen,

CONGRESS-THE RECONSTRCCTIoN ACT-
Congress, which assembled in extra session
on the 81 of this month"; adjourned OH Satur-
day last after a session of two weeks and three
days The mission for which the assembling
took place was thoroughly aud speedily ac-
coHpshed, viz: giving correct intcrpreta-
tou to the Reconstruction acts, so that the
President could not make them u nullity by
putting wrong construction upon them
The business Of the session being restricted
to this single purpose, supplemental bill to
the Reconstruction acts was framed the second
day of the session. After debate and amend
ments it passed both Houses and went to the
President for his signature The President,
after due consideration, returned the bill nth
his veto Thereupon Congress passed the
bill over the vote Immediately, by a vote 100
to 22 in the House, and 80 to 6 in the Senate.
This, in short, was what Congress did at the
extra session. The following is considered a
good synopsis OF the law:
That the military authority in the Rebel
States is paramount to all civil governments
therein, and they shall not interfere in any
way with Its authority.
That the district commanders have power,
subject to the approval OF the General of the
Army, to remove from office any civil officers
ln their districts, and to appoint to the vacan-
cles ofncers OF the army or civilians That the
same powers OF removal or appointment are
possessed by the General of the Army.
mat all the past acts of the District Com.
manders IN removal or appointment are con-
Hrmed.
That 1t Is the duty of the Boards of Regis
tratlon to ascertain and decide the oualiGca-
tionS OF applicants for registration, and that
the mere taking OF the prescribed oath shall
not DC conclusive proof OF qualification.
Ihat the true intent of the oath prescribed
Is that any person who has held executive or
Judicial Office III the Rebel States, and has en-
gagged In rebellion, shall not be entitled to REQ
lStratlon, and that all civil offices for the ad.
mlnistratlou OF the general laws are intended
by the words executive or judicial"
mat the time tor completing registration
may be extended till October |; that the Board.
have power to revise for period of five days
the registration lists and to strike ont the
names OF persons they believe to have been
improperly enrolled, and to add those they be-
heve Improperly omitted
That no person shall be entitled to be recis
tered or to vote by reason of Presidential
pardon Of offences, which would otherwise dis
qualify him.
That the District Commanders have the
power to remove and appoint registers; that
no person shall be disqualified from service MS
register on account of race or color
That the Reconstruction acts shall be con-
strued literally, that their intent may be freely
and perfectly carried out

! GERRIT SMITH VIEWS. A circular ba,
been issued by Hon. Gerrit Smith, in which
he controvCrtS the positions of Chief Justice
chase upon questions of constitutional law
denying that the late war was prosecuted under
authority of the Constitution of the Tn;tnJ
states, and claiming on the contrary. that il
was carried on by Congress in accordance with
the laws OF war; and that the vanuuishcd marty
Is not III any sense legally chargeable with
! treason. lie regards the selection of leaders
lor punishment under the charge of treason as
better suited to feuda times than 10 onr
own. lie says that if our revolutionary
fathers had failed, and Washington and
franklin been hung for treason at the close of
the civil war, the opinion of the Chief Justice
would cover and justify the heavcn-appalling
deed. Mr. Smith bases his argument not only
on the plea OF justice, but fears that persist
enco IN the rigorous policy marked out by
Chiet Justice Chase will entail the dissolution
OF the republican party.
Mr.. Wendell Phillips, in the last number of
the Intt SLdUeyy Standard, makes a eonfes-
sion OF faith, which is explicit enough at any
rate. lie thinks he ought to go about seeking
those cOlOred men who are fit for office, and
take scdul0uS care that they obtain it, In 9th
er words to quote his own language, 1--WE
ShOHtd labor to elect men to office merely be-
cause they are black" Mr. Phillips might
just as well insist that the honors and em9lu'
ments of office should be equally divided he-
tween black haired men and red.haired man

for or against his election to office. We Ger.
tainly DO not go about III search of tho nror-
