TIE EXCISE LAW AND THE LIQUOR DsALsRs.-
1t ID rumored that the Liquor Dealers Assceia-
ton have resolved to send half million Of dol
lars to Albany to secure the repeal of the
Metropolitan District Excise law, which has
just been declared constitutional by the Court
of Appeals. We have no doubt that this argu-
ment will prove eficacious with our Legislators.
They ought also to send one hundred bottles
of old proof Bourbon to each member, and
especially to those who profess to be tenn
pcrance men. The law is faulty In many
respects, and with or without these considera-
tions, should either be materially modified or
Internationally repealed.

On whatever grounds the impeachment Of

within two years, or. worse STILL because,
according to another, London and Paris
journalists-most of whom are still proverbially
ignorant Of American affairs-"look upon the
contemplated impeachment as psrilous pro-

objection talks wildly, too, when 1t adds
it has "no doubt that persisted In our bonds
now in Europe will be flowing back upon US in
millions." 1t forgets that whatever ignorance
the foreign press may betray on this point,
yet, thanks to the intimate social and business
relations Of immigrants to the United States
with their friends in the old countries, the
holders Of American securities abroad appre-
ciate them too highly and are too fully enlight-

Thad Stevens, Simon Cameron and Governor
Genry ON the Political Situation.

Thad Stevens, Simon Cameron and Governor
Geary ON the Political Situation.
We published yesterday the remarks Of
three prominent public men on the political
issues of the day. All three were Pennsyl-
vanians, and they spoke on different and i'm
portant public occasions. Stevens spoke in
the House Of Representatives on the bill to
admit Nebraska, on which the broad question
of what constitutes republican form of gov
eminent was discussed. Cameron made an
address at Harrisburg, on being elected United
States Senator, and Governor Geary, on taking
his office, delivered his inaugural speech. There
was remarkable unanimity in the views ex-
pressed and tone of these addresses All were
decided in requiring constitutional guarantees
before the rebel States should be received
back TO full participation in the govern
ment All maintained that there could be no
true republican government where large
portion Of the inhabitants (meaning the negroes
Of the south) are excluded from the suffrage.
II is clear, then, that the leading mon Of Penn
sylvania are in accord on the questions q, the
constitutional amendment, the reorganization
of the Southern States and on giving the suf.
fragc to the negroes We have no doubt they
express the views also Of the statesmen and
people Of the other loyal States.
General Cameron made . characteristic
speech N returning thanks for the honor Of
ICING chosen United States Senator. He said
he should not forget his friends and would for
give his enemies. 1t Is known that he has
always bcen true to his friends, and we believe
he will continue to be so. But has he not de-
generated from the naughty and stern charac.
ter Of his ancestors, the Camerons Of Lochiel,
when he says he will forgive his enemies 1t
is said Of one of them that when he was con-
Tossing to the priest on his dying bed, and was
told that he must forgive all his enemies before
he could be waited 10 heaven, he replied that
he would forgive all but one, whom he named,
one particular enemy who lived over the noun
tain. The priest being memorable in enforcing
this necessary condition to salvation, and the
old Highlander perceiving he could not get
over it, at last consented to be forgiving him
self, but at the same time exclaimed with an
oath that his son should never forgive.

The difficulties between President Wander
bilt, Of the Hudson River and Harlem rail-
roads, and the new directors Of the New York
from the characteristics Of the men engaged in
II, promises to be carried on with unusual bit
terness. The announcement Is made that the
Hudson River Railroad Company will, after
to-day. only sell tickets and check baggage
over their own road, and will only recognize
tickets sold at their own Offices and by their
own agents. The meaning Of this is that
persons travelling West over the New York
Central road will be carried only TO East
Albany by the Hudson River Company, and
will there be compelled to change cars and
have their baggage rechecked to their destlna-
tons. The same rule extends TO freight shipped
over the road. President Vanderbilt puts the
termination Of previously existing arrange
ments between the connecting roads upon the
directors of the New York Central, while they,
on their part, claim that those arrangements
were unjust to the stockholders Of their road,
and that the demands Of Vanderbilt were out
of the bounds Of reason and justice. However
this may be, the public have an interest in this
matter that should not be overlooked in these
railroad squabbles. The Hudson River and
Harlem roads are in winter time the only ter
mini Of the New York Central, and they are
both under one management. 1t is not right
that the people, who grant the charters to these
companies, should be made the sufferers by the
quarrels of unfriendly boards of directors. If
the difficulties cannot be adjusted the Legisla-
t,re should step in and see what can be done
by legislation to remedy the evil. The present
quarrel shows the necessity for the speedy con-
struction OF a road on the west side of the
Hudson, connecting with the Schenectady and
Athens road, and making an unbroken line
over the Central to the West Such road is
demanded for the convenience of shippers as
well as travellers. The great trouble with the
Hudson River and Harlem roads is the lack Of
sufficient freight houses and docks for the re-
ception of freight. With road terminating at
Hoboken or Jersey City this want would be
supplied, as all the dockage could be obtained
that might be needed for the accommodation
of freight. II would take but short time APP,
comparatively small amount Of capir.l Ia
build and equip such road.

TERRIBLE MODE OF WARFARE-A
Marseillcs chemist has Invented a
kind of Greek fire, by which he
thinks he can successfully oppose the
needle gun. In communication to
the Progress, of Lyons, he describes
this composition as follows:
ITO give an idea Of the efficacy Of
my discovery, | declare. and am
ready to prove that l can, at dis
lance Of one thousand metres, envel-
ope an army Of one hundred thous-
and men in a sea Of fame within less
than five minutes. If q town has
to be taken by assault, | have no
need of Rotopshine, as | can set
it on fire in very nearly the same pc
Rod. In naval battle, ! would run
into the enemy, and in fifteen seconds
cover all the deck of he vessel with
a torrent of flame which would burn
the rigging, penetrate between the
decks. and simultaneously stifie all
the crew. In an attack on q seaport,
| could burn the town and arsenals
within range with the rapidity OF
lightning With such means no war
is possible, as neither vietors or van
pushed would return from the field
OF battle. As to the fortress of Lux>
emburg, the subject OF dispute at ehe
present moment, | would undertake
to rid it of its garrison in quarter Of
an hour"

Barberry Hedge.

EDITOR WISCONSIN FARMER:--I saw
some remarks in the Farmer of April
Ii, in relation to the Burberry Bush
for hedging, and whether it would
stand the climate of Wisconsin.
procured a few seeds in letter from
a friend in the state Of Rhode Island,
some eight or ten years ago, planted
them in the fall and have raised sew
eral bushes which have done remark
ably we'll and borne fruit some four
years. We had about one peck ofthe
berries last fall, and my wife pre-
served them as she does other fruit
for sauce. / think never saw bets
ter preserves made from any fruit
whatever. | never thought Of or
heard the shrub mentioned before for
hedging, but / believe it would make
the very best kind Of hedge. There
could no creature get through it, and
it is as hardy a shrub to stand the
climate here, so far, as our oak grubs.
| planted some more Of the berries
last fall. Shall plant some for hedge
IA few rods, next fall, ifnothing pre-
vents. They are the haHasomest
bush to grow in door yard, that |
ever saw; they are beautiful when in
blossom and when the fruit is ripe
and hanging in clusters of a brilliant
dark red, they excel in beauty any
thing that / have ever yet seen in a
yard of shrubbery.

DEPARTMREF.oF TIE EXTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE, May Is. 1867

-N-N~
SIR;-In reply to your letter reIa,
tive to alleged abuses OF the Home
stead law in Dakota, and your Inc
quiries as to those who can avail them
selves of the benefit of that act, and
also as to what is required under the
law, | have to state:
First, That any person, male or fe~
male, who is at the head of Q family,
or arrived at the age of twenty-one
years, and is citizen of the United
States, or has declared his intention
to become such, is entitled to make a
homestead entry under the provisions
Of the act Of May, 1862.
Second, After making an entry at
the district Office, the party must
proceed with diligence to build his
house, and get upon the land with his
family, and commence the cultiva-
ton and Improvement of the same.
Third, The fifth section Of the act
makes the abandonment of the land,
or exchange of residence for more
than six months at any time, cause
of forfeiture under the clause of the
law. You state that many persons
claim the right to sc upon the land
once in every six months, remain
thore for q day or two, and then leave
it again. That Interpretation of the
law will not be supported by this of
fee. Those parties could not show
in the final proof that their actual
residence and home had been upon
their honest cad entries. But, on the
contrary, the evidence would indicate
that the land had been only tens
porary abode Hence, ssuch quasi
settlers could have no cause for griev-
ance, if, upon presentation OF the
facts, their entries could be declared
invalid.
In brief, the acts of the settler
must be such as to show an inten.
ton fully to comply in good faith
with the requirements ofthe law, and
make the laud what the law intends
it to be, his actual residence, with
such improvements and cultivation
Of The soil as his meaus and strength
will allow. An exception to this
requirement is made where the entry
is for an adjoining farm homestead
In such cases the party is not re.
CURED to build and reside upon the
adjacent homestead entry. But he
must prove residence upon The orig
inal farm to which the homestead
tract adjoins, and also cultivation
apd improvement of the adjoining
tract.
