The signing of the bill which repealed
the license law of 1867, virtually renews
the law known as the /" Buckalew Law" "
which Furnishes selling on Sunday with a
fine of i've dollars and costs. The argu-
ment in the Senate, when this repeating
law passed, was founded on the legal
axium that when law. which repealed
another is itself repealed, the first statute
is thereby revived without any formal
words for that purpose. Hence, the
Buckalew Law, being the former statute,
is revived by the repeal of the license
law of 1867

j. LANTZ, DENTIST

E=A. Has permanently located HIM
nYp24E self in Stroudsburg, and moved
ILDhis office next door 10 DIR. s..
Walton. where he is fully prepared to treat
the natural teeth, and also to insert incorrup-
fible artificial teeth on pivot and plate, in tue
latest and most improved manner. Most
persons know the danger and folly of trust
ing their work to the ignorant as well as
the travelling dentist. 1t matters not how
much experience person may have, he is
liable TO have some failures out of number
of cases, and if the dentist lives at distance
it is frequently put off until it is too late to
save the tooth or teeth as it NAV be, othe r
wise the inconvenience and trouble of going
so far. Hence the necessity of obtaining the
services of dentist near home. All work
warranted.

Sir, the decision IN Luther vs.. Borden in the
Rhode Island case had no application to the pres
ent state OF things aud it decided nothing that is
applicable to the present state OF things. There
was insurrcction in the State of Rhode Island,
a setting up by one party Of distinct and inde-
pendent government in that State, and am attempt
thereby TO overthrow the existing government Of
Rhode Island. and causing. necessarily, an insur-
rection, a breach OF the peace which neither Of
those parties felt competent or strong enough IT.
self to Put down, and both parties appealed to the
Executive Of the United States for help. The act
OF Congress OF 1873 required Of the Executive,
upon the application Of the Governor or the Leg
islature of a State for aid 10 put down an insur-
rection, to send the militia of any State into that
State for that purpose, Under that law applca-
ton made TO the President OF the United States.

time being which of those two governments was

required him to send. He was. in the perform
ance OF the duty imposed upon him by law, com
PEELED to decide in the discharge OF that duty which
OF those two governments was the legal govern

Tyler responded, and in responding he put his an
swer precisely upon that ground, that the law Of
Congress had imposed upon him the duty To send
succor TO the Governor OF Rhode Island upon his
application. Two men called upon him. each
claiming to be the Governor under separate and
independent forms of government in Rhode Island,
and lac must decide between the two whether il
was the Dorr government or whether it was the
other but he said himself it was Congress that i'm
posed this duty upon him. And the Supreme
Court, when they come TO give their opinion in
the case that grew out OF that rebellion put it pre-
cisely upon that ground. Now, let me read from
their decision aud let us see how the gentleman
