Progress Of the civil Damage Law.
From the n Y Post

Wherever the so called "Ohio law" or that
requiring the liquor sellers to pay damage for
any injury to persons OF property resulting
from the sale of liquor has been fully enforced,
it has been found very etfcctuaI, and there
fore it is natural that the liquor interest
should devote all its energies to the nullitica-
ton of this kind of temperance legslation.-
Recently the Mayor of Milwaukee, taking
counsel perhaps Of his own wishes, refused to
require the liquor sellers to take out licenses
under the law of Wisconsin, alleging i'll de-
fence that the law was unconstitutional. \
case was brought in court requiring him to
obey the provisions Of the law His attor-
neys defended him ingeniously, first on the
ground that the law was inconsistent with it
self, and therefore of no effect, in that it Ii
censed the sale Of liquor and then 4unshed
the seller for acts done under his license; sec
ond, that the statute law violated the commun
law IN making the seller responsible TOR very
remote consequences of his act; and third, that
it was possible for the drunkard, through other
members of bis family, to profit by his own
crime. The Supreme Court has decided the
case against the Mayor, affirming that the law
is constitutional and sound in law, the State
having right to prohibit or regulate the sale
of liquor as it secs fit. In several other States
Il similar law has been sustained by the courts,
and the result has been very marked, Iowa is
cited specially as having given heavy verdicts
to those who have suffered from the conse-
quences of liquor selling, and the provisions of
the law there are SO clearly defined, and the
law is so popular, that the liquor sellers have
not had the courage to appeal case to the
Supreme Court The working of the law, SO
far, seems to prove that it is both more efec-
tual and more just than either the absolute
prohibitory law or the simple license without
the civil damages clause.

An extraordinary story comes from Colorado

An extraordinary story comes from Colorado
of the discovery of lead where pure gold lies
in mass, visible to the eye. This lead, or vein,
was found in Southwestern Colorado, in the
San Juan district, about twenty-five miles from
Del Norte The story is that from the first
settlement of the district frequent discoveries
have been made of gold nuggets and specimens,
but no one was able to trace them to their orig
inal bed until the 18th Of September when two
men naned Peterson aud Brandt accidentally
struck the lead, being attracted by the glitter
of pure ore directly under their feet. The dis
cuyerers took measures to secure their claims,

Postal Savings Bank and Telegraph.
He endorses the recommendation of the
Postmasters General for the establishment
of post office savings repositories, and in
vites the consideration of Congress to the
proposition for postal telegraph.
The Territories ana INDIANS.
He recommends the passage of an en-
abling act for the admission of Colorado as
a State. And in regard to the Indian
question he recommends territorial form
of government for the Indian Territory.
He also recommends such action as will
permit the settlement of body of Russian
colonists on the public lands, and endorses
the proposition for census in 1875.
He recommends legislation in regard to
judicial proceedings in Utah, and also
in regard to the bankruptcy law, which
he considers as productive of more evil
than good, and if not totally repealed, it
should be modified and those portions pro-
viding for involuntary bankruptcy be re-
pealed.
Southern Claims.
He calls attention to the immense ag-
gregate of claims against the Gov
eminent, many CT them growing out
of the rebellion, and not few of them
fabricated and supported by false testimony
He recommends that persons having
claims be required to present them at an
early period, and that the personal at
tendance of witnesses be required by the
Court of Claims, etc,
General Amnesty md Civil Rights,
In conclusion, he renews his recommen-
dation for general amnesty and says there
are Il number of persons yet laborng under
disabilities, very small, but enough to keep
up a constant irritation. There can be nc
possible danger to the Government in re-
storing them to eligibility to hold office,
and suggests the enactment of a law better
to secure the civil rights which freedom
should secure but has not secured to the
enfranchsed slave.
