THE PROPOSED New LIQUOR LAw.-The
House has passed bill submitting to
cities, boroughs, and Townships at tie Octo
Der election, the question whether the Court
shall grant hotel and restaurant licenses in
said cities, boroughs and townships. If a
majority of the voters shall vote in favor of
license the Court will then, under the discre
ton now vested in them, grant licences.
If however, majority shall vote against
license, then the Court shall have no power
to grant licenses in any district so voting.
The bin passed the House by the very deci-
ded vote of 50 yeas TO 81 nays. The I'M
preston prevails that it will pass the Senate
and receive the signature of the Governor.
We should have preferred to see the bill to
begin aoith, confined to cities and counties
the people, in that way, accustomed to pass
ing on the question, and at some future time
extended to smaller divisions. We fear that
there will be rebound and our temperance
friends, in the end, will lose all.

Jusr So!-AN Exchange says: wonders
will never cease. The Wyoming jury, where
of the better half were ladies. after four
days of deliberation Upon a simple case OF
homicide, have actually returned verdict
to the astonished Court. To be sure, 1t was
only reached by the process of exhaustion
but the alleged impossibility of feminine
agreement being achieved, what does 1t
matter that the ladies of the jury were very
much fatigued, and doubtless retired to their
homes thoroughly disgusted with the ex-
ercise of at least one OF the rights they had
wrested from tyrannical man. We hope
their hardships will not be fatal to the great
cause, but that the noisy few will persevere
until they are convinced, like their sisters
of Wyoming, by actual experience, that our
rights include duties, the performing OF
which is not the sort of sport they had
imagined. What happy fellows those hus-
bands in Wyoming must be nowthat their
wives have actually been exhausted by
one of the most trivial of the labors and
responsibilities they so much coveted.

BUTLER.g BUSTNE,SS

The most enthusiastic admirer of General
Butler will not fail to condemn his departure
from Washington to-day, to be absent until
the 9TH of May, period two weeks distant.
Butler is chairman of the Reconstruction
Committee of the House, and during his ab-
sence from the capital the Georgia bill, as
amended by the Senate, must slumber in the
committee. The Senate trifed over this
business for six weeks, and when it at last
came to vote sent the Georgia bill back to
the House in such a shape that Disagree
ment between the two houses appears inevi-
table. Under these circumstances the con-
duct of General Butler in forsaking his post
is deserving of unqualified condemnation.
The country is tired and sick of this Georgia
matter, and thoroughly disgusted with the
manner in which Congress has triied with the
commercial and financial questions that are
pressing for settlement. If General Buffers
private business is of such enormous proper
tions that he must needs leave for two weeks
at the very time that his presence is most
necessary, he had better give up his seat in
Congress and devote his time exclusively to
his private affairs.

THE INCOME RETURNS OF ENGLAND have just been
submitted to Parliament for the year ending March
81, 1869. The revenue of the Government from in
comes during the year ending March 81, 1868,
amounted to &C, l94,166, about S3l0OO,00O, or
slO5O0, 900 less than the derived from the
same source by the United States in 1858. Included
in the income return of England were the assess
ments on 'houses" in the fiscal year 1S6667, amount
ing to G., ,8s4OOO. The exempted incomes in ls66-67
reached G18,572,000 on which the tax, at fourpence
on the pound, or 195 per cent, would have amounted
to e226, 1919. Concerning frauds upon the revenue,
the report says that out of two hundred cases in
quired into it was found that sin eighty cases the
revenue had been defrauded 40 per cent. The ag-
Rregate OF the taxable incomes returned by the par
ties themselves was e73,642 and the amount ulti-
mately found to be correct ELL ,3I0; being in
excess of the returns by ,T2S, or about 1870 per
cent" The report also says: "These deficiencies
are not confined to any particular class trade, or
profession; we find it among legal practitioners we
find 1t in every variety Of trade, and we find 1t in
great public companies and In hrms whose business
is almost national concern, from its magnitude
and worldwide reputation. We see no reason to
dstrust this estimate that 40 per cent OF the per-
sons assessed had understated their incomes, and
that true return would give an addition Of 1870 per
cent. We beg leave to call attention to the follow
ing extract from long list OF detective returns from
public companies and large joint stock associa,

GENERAL SPINNER, the watchdog" of the
Treasury, is rapidly establishing claim to be
considered the champion letter-writer of the
country. Every few days we are favored with
an epistle from his industrious pen upon the
financial issues of the day. He writes vigo-
rously and earnestly, and, although it is not
every one that will agree with him, he seldom
takes up his pen without writing something
that is well worth reading And in the mean
time he keeps an eye on the money vaults of
the nation, and does not neglect his legiti-
mate business.

sHAFFER ON THE WAR PATH


UTAH has ''real' Governor at last-the first,
as we are informed, that she has ever had.
The ceremonies attending the installation of
Governor Shaffer, as published by us yester-
day, show that the Gentiles in Brigham
Young's domain have received their new ruler
with open arms, But, unfortunately, the re-
ception took place in the petty town of
Oorinne, and not at the grand centre of Nor
mon iniquity, Salt Lake City, where such an
enthusiastic reception would have been of
much more significance. However, the new
Governor unreservedly declares war upon
Brigham Young's establishment, asserting
that he is in Utah for the purpose of enforc-
ing the laws of the United States, and that,
when he finds he cannot do this, he will re-
turn to his home. Unless Governor Shaffer
is made of sterner stuff than usually enters
into the composition of territorial governors,
his late neighbors will soon find him in their
midst again. Bat if Governor Shaffer should
not soon start on his homeward journey, we
may look for lively times in Utah. That the
MormOns viii resort to everything TO defend

UNDER the management of its founder the
Ledger was workingman's paper, but for
several years past it has been trading on its
old reputation, and sailing under false colors
It's opposition to the Northern Pacific Rail
read, which will give employment to thou
sands of Philadelphia mechanics, is an ex-
ample of the change that has come over it.

provides that Sin the construction of the said
railroad American iron or steel only shall be
used, the same to be manufactured from
American ore exclusively, and these rails,
while they form very important item Of the
material that will be furnished by the State
or the city, are only one of the many articles
that will be required A thousand locolno-
tives will be needed, tens of thousands of
cor wheels, hundred turn tables,
an immense number of cars, and
as this city is the headquarters Of this gigan-
tic undertaking, the orders for large portion
if not all of the rolling stock, as well as the
rails of the road will be given TO the manu-
facturers and mechanics of this city and this
State. If the hostility to the Northern Pacific
Railway which is evinced by the Public
Ledger could make sensible impression
upon Congress, or jeopardize the success of
that enterprise, the mechanics and operatives
who have 30 liberally supported that journal
would be the greatest sufferers. Millions of
dollars and years of remunerative employ
ment will be furnished to them by the
enterprise II is SO anxious to defeat. Its
course in antagonizing their interests is in
explicable on any other theory than that it
has become 50 enamored of a Quixotic mis-
sion as to be utterly regardless of the general
welfare. Since it seems to have resolved,
however, to play the part of knight-errant,
the people must bear as patiently as they can
the rude thrusts of its lance into their wind
mills, and we trust that its insane vagaries
will be estimated at their true value.

The Don Quixote of the Ledger, with his
Sancho Panza, who gets up the humorous
column known as the money article, have
commenced tilt at the Northern Pacific Rail
road Don Quixote when he attacked the
windmills speedily came to grief. The fate
of his prototype of the Ledger is tolerably
easy to foresee.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-22

We are sorry for the capitalists who have
invested in Northern Pacific Railroad stock,
but as the Ledger has advised Congress to
forbid the construction of the road, of course
nothing more can be done in the matter.
Congress always follows the advice of the
Ledger-always.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-22

The rails of the Northern Pacific Railroad
will be made of Pennsylvania iron, and the
locomotives and cars will be constructed by
Pennsylvania mechanics. The Ledger, how
ever, would prefer that our iron workers and
locomotive and car builders should be idle.

The Ledger processes to be the working

construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
which will give employment to thousands of
workingmen
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-22

PERHAPS the reason why the Ledger does
not wish the Northern Pacific Railroad to be
built is that it is afraid that too great facili-
ties will be afforded for the emigration of its
subscribers to some region where the working
mems organs are really devoted to working
mems interests
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-22

their iniquitous institutions there is no
doubt, and determined effort on the part of
the new Governor to enforce the laws as they
now stand, without taking into consideration
the prospective legislation of Congress, will
certainly precipitate conflict between the
Gentiles and the Saints.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-22

The Northern Pacific Railroad will require
a thousand locomotives at least, large ma
jority, and perhaps all, of which will be built
in Philadelphia, The course of the Ledger in
opposing the construction of the road will,
therefore, be highly appreciated by the work
ingmen who have hitherto imagined that it
was conducted in their interest
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-22

THE projectors of the Northern Pacific
Railroad are Philadelphians, and if the road
is bnilt it will give employment to thousands
of Philadelphia mechanics. The Ledger pre-
fers, however, that our mechanics shall re-
main without work, aud therefore it has
decreed that the road shall never be built.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-22

The Ledger has commenced an onslaught
on the Northern Pacific Railroad, and hopes
that Congress will veto the scheme. OF
course the road will never be built now, and
those who are interested will make haste to
put their money in some other enterprise.
