stitutes the base Of our industrial

ODD FELLowsHIP.-Ata an entertainment
in Philadelphia, on Wednesday evening, the
22d ult., there were six hundred Past Grands
present, representing 10000 Odd Fellows of
Pennsylvania. In response to sentiment
the Grand Sire delivered an address on the
subject of Odd Fellowship, setting forth in
brilliant colors the beauty of the order and
its object to do good. The order in the
United States, North and South, is in pros
porous condition, and its rapid increase in
the number of its members will be produc-
tive of larger amount of benevolence than
has hitherto been the case. Addresses were
also delivered by other Past Grands from
different parts of the State of Pennsylvania
all of whom gave evidence of the prosperity
of the order in the different sections of the
State.

THERE is no mistaking the growing
strength of the Republican cause in the
South. The old Democratic leaders feel and
acknowledge its power, and arc bowing to
the majesty of its influence. Democracy, as
it is known as the promoter of treason and
the defender of wrong, will never again rule
in the South. 1t will, of course, have its
friends-it will lie cherished as slavery is
yet clung to, but among the intelligent and
the loyal, with men who are sincerely devo-
ted to the safety of the Government, Demo
cracy will henceforth be powerless for con-
troll. The old Democratic leaders in the
South die ehard-revertheless die they must,
and politically. 1t is according to the ties.
timony of many witnesses capable of speak
on the subject, that the Republican cause is
making rapid progress in the South, and is
certain to triumph there in the election of a
majority of Republican Congressman. This
state of things is not likely to be changed
before the election takes place.

eB- The New LIQUOR LAw.-The new
Liquor Law passed by the last Legislature,
is by far the most stringent, ever enacted in
Pennsylvania. Among other things it pro-
vides for the closing of all bars and saloons
after midnight, and entirely on Sunday /;
makes it the duty of the constables and po-
lice to arrest every person found in the
public streets or highways intoxicated,
whether disorderly or not; utterly forbids
the selling or giving in any way of ale or
beer, as well as of stronger liquors, to mi
nors authorizes any child of any parent to
forbid the sale of whiskey or champagne to
his father; and makes it the bounden duty
of all sheriff., constabes, and officers and
members of the police, to compel the obser-
vance OF all its provisions. The law is i'm
portant and there is scarcely any one who
IL not personally interested in its provisions.

THE NEW CRIMINAL JUDICIAL DIsTRIcT-
DECISION or THE SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court on Monday morning
decided that so much of the act of Assembly
as created a court of oyer and terminer in
the judicial district composed of the counties
of Schuylkil, Lebanon and Dalphin, is un-
constitutional, and directed the judge of the
old judicial district, of which Schuylkill
county is part, to issue his venre summon
ing jury for the usual courts of common
pleas and oyer and terminer in that county.
The decision does not dispute the constitu-
tionality of the Legislature to create new
judicial district, but simply that it has no
power to create court of oyer and terminer

Sr. PErERsBuRe, May 28.--The Govern
ment OF the United States has offered to sell
to Gear Alexander the famous iron.clad
Monitor Miantonomah, frigate and two
new and very fast iron -clads, war cruisers.
The proposition has been favorably received
by the Emperor and his cabinet, and is like

Since the adjournment of the London
Peace Conference and the adjustment of the

macy is now engaged in the consideration
of a plan for it's peaceful settlement, ard Ell
forts will shortly be made in this city, Paris,

final solution.

W We desire our neighbor of the
Gazette to understand, that although it is
our rule never to provoked controversy, or
meddle with the private affairs of Others.
we do not hesitate to reply to attacks made
on US, directly or by insinuation. There are
come persons who have the unfortunate habit
Of looking at things with distorted vision
and persisting that black is white, even
when the error is apparent, and it is not won
derful that our neighbor should be among
that number. The statements we made in
the article, to which the Gazette takes ex-
ception, and attempts to controvert by un-
founded inference and misstatements, are
strictly true. We have on more than one
occasion published the County Auditors Re-
port without pay, when the editor of the
Gazette was an officiating high priest among
the copper colored democracy, and mon
opolized the county patronage We did not
publish it, this spring, simultaneously, as
the Gazette says, with the Democrat, but a
week afterwards, after making suggestion
to one of the Commissioners that we intended
to do so, and that the board should publish
1t at least, in one Republican paper. That
Commissioner admitted the justness of what
We said, and on his own responsibility
promised that we should receive some CON-
-. pensation, and on this ground alone, the
Gazette made whining appeal to the
"RepublIcan party" Surely if the silly
boast that he has the patronage of three
fourths of that party, is true, his attempt to
get also that of the opposite party by under
bidding, is. to say the least, not very magma
nimous, nor is the fact of referring to private
conversations much less censurable.
