 JOHN s. IVES. Hartford, Aug. 27th, 1866. 'n 3 EFERRING to the foregoing announce -AG ments, Messls. Burkett & Ives take this opportunity to assure the patrons of the " Bee Hive of their intention to keep larger stock than ever of the very best goods made. and in all the variety of styles in which they deal, all of which will be offered at the lowest prices. . Being convinced that the One Price System will benefit both themselves and their custoni- CTS, they will from this date adopt that sys- tenn. The price of all goods will be mark ed in plain fgurers, from which there will be no deviation.
 Grateful for past favors, they hope that the business integrity of the Bee Hive" for the last twenty years, and strict adherence to the above system, will merit for them con- tinuance of public patronage. ......

Iohe Edhorof The Event,g Telegraph.-
The Press, in its issue on Friday, under the
head OF Sunday Cars-Debate in the Senate"
after attempting, upon pure technicality to
correct the error ofSpeaker Hall, who stated
that "the observance of the Sabbath was part
of the common law Of England and the United
States, and that such law was local and
could not be decided upon by citizens at a
local election" ventures to assert that the
question as to running the cars on Sunday in
this city is entirely local; and that if a nao-
rity of the votes of the citizens at an election
should be in favor of the cars running on
Sunday, "Such law' would be "constitu-
tional."
We have long been under the schoolboy i'm
preston that the Legislature power of the State
was veSted in the Leqislahtre, consisting of a
Senate and House of Representatives, whose
exclusive province is the enactment of lars.
The Constitution of the State so declares, and
therefore all other pC1Uer to enact laws must
be excluded.
For the benefit of the Press and its learned
juridical writers, that laws must be passed by
the Legislature, and cannot be by a vote at an
election, we refer to decision of the Supreme
Court of our State, made nearly twenty years
ago, in the case of Parker VS. Commonwealth,
reported in Barr's Reports, page 507. There
the Supreme Court held that 'under the
Constitution of Pennsylvania, legislative
power must be exercised by the Legislature
created by that Constitution. Hence the act
of lS46, giving the citizens of certain counties
the power to decide by a vote whether the sale
of vinous and spirituous liquors shall be con-
tinued within such counties, and imposing
fine for the sale of such liquors, where a
majority of the voters had been against such
sale, is unconstitutional"
AS the Legislature, according to this de-
cision, cannot delegate its power to enact
laws to the people in their primary capacity,
it is not perceived, even under the enlightened
legal notions of the Press, how the people at
an election can assume power to enact laws
even local in character. Coke.

meet the danger boldly"
So saying, he rushed at the top of his
speed toward the advancing flames and a
single hound placed him beyond danger.
The stag, in mortal fear, fed in the
opposite direction, and the flames over
taking him, he miserably persisted.
The horse after wards returning. found
the holy of his iilenl stretched out upon
The blacliened plain, and pausing beside
it, thus moralzcd:

"DEAD HEADS In answer to lady
correspondent, who desires to know the
meaning Of the term ''dead. heed" the
Davenport, Iowa. Go:eie saws:
''Ihe free tickets given to the press
for the uses named are always prid for,
and that very literally. As a rule, those
who i-,ue--not those who receive-theso
free tickets are the dead heads, usually
giving 30 cents for that which IL 50 bill
would not adequately pay for. SO long
ms the newspaper editor is expected to
give liberal notices of entertainments be-
fore they occur, and then follow these
with a generous puff after the show is
over, he certainly has no place in the
dead heal classification. Indeed, in
nine cases ont of ten. the editors would
be glad to receive half pay for work and
pay the prices for their free ticket. They
certainly would make money by the oper-
iion.
We may add few words on the gem
cral subject of advertising. The publca-
ton Of advertisements i as much in the

those who ask just such gratultoJs notices,

these persons should be asked 10 make Il
present of dozen wards OF muslin to each
purchaser of merino dress. or a dollars
worth of Su"ar to whoever bought three
pound, Of tea, or half dozen free tickets.
to whoever engaged twenty seats at Il
concert, they would resent the demand
as an insult. Yet why should not their
wage' be gived away as freely IA should

JUsr WHEN WANTED The New
York Times thus notes remarkable
fact:
at is a little remarkable that an is
land should have been discovered on the
route between San Francisco anl China
Just ms the line of American steamers is
to be established there. The great oh
stacle to the establishment of that line j.
the great length of the route, making
it necessary for steamers to- carry so
much coal ~ to have little room for cargo
1t has. indeed, been conf lenily predicted
that the enterprise must fnl, from this
cause if ~ other, to be profitable anl
although the early trips OF the Pacific
mail steamers have dispelcA this apnre-
hcnsion to some extern, sagacious COM
mercial men have by no means considered
the problem as fully solved But the
discovery of an Island, on the very route
/ followed, which can serve as coaling
station, puts the question at rest forever
| This affords perhaps, the most striking
political economy, that the supply will
always equal the demand, TO be found on
record AS soon AS that ron was to be
opened nothing was 50 much wanted n
an island; and forthwith the want ha'
been supplied! The Pacific Mail Com
pany, it is said, will establish Goa
depot there at once.
