On summing up the results of the cleo
tons held throughout the State on the
license question, from the imperfect reports
received, it appears that the net majority
cast "for license" will not vary much from
20, 000.-The cities. with the marked ex-
ceptions of Altoona and Williamsport, have
nearly all given heavy majorities for
license. East of the Susquehanna, the
only counties that have voted against license
are, Delaware, Chester, Montour, Wyom-
ing and Susquehanna.-Lu county,
independently of Wilkesbarre and Scranton,
has also gone against license. Al the
others have voted for lcense-some of them
by very heavy maiorities. West of the
Susquehanna, York. Adams, Snyder and
Elk counties appear to be nearly all that
have voted in fovo: Of license. Probably
Allegheny, outside of Pittsburg and ALLIE
ghany city, which voted heavy for license,
should be included in the same list. But
nearly or quite all the counties of the north
ern and southern tiers and the great GEN.
tral region, without regard TO politics, have
voted against the issuing of licenses. At
a rough guess we should say that in fully
one-half of the territory Of the State the
sale of liquor has been prohibited for three
years to come. The efficacy of the law in
diminishing crime and paupersm may thus
be fully tested before another occasion of
the kind comes around. 1t will be observed
that those counties whose inhabitants are
largely of German origin have almost inva-
riably voted for license, even when not
influenced by the sentiment of large towns
and cities. The Pennsylvania German is
pre-eminently conservative in his thoughts
and habits, aud even if he cares nothing for
strong drink himself he is not apt to inter-
fere with the qualification Of others.

THE New POSTAL LAW, if strictly con-
structed by the Courts land we hope
test question will be speedily raised) makes
some startling changes, and some which
publishers and readers will almost geuer-
ally condemn. There was attached to the
postal appropriation bill the following
clauses
Provided, That all laws and parts of
laws permitting the transmission by mail
of any free matter whatever it be, and the
same are hereby repealed from after June
80, 1873"
Congress had resisted as far as practical
BILE, the effort to repeal the franking privi-
lege, and in revenge for the pressure
brought by newspapers added this clause.
1t is fair TO say, however, that most of the
members did not understand its effect, the
bill being hurried through by a few leaders
who hoped the opposing clamor would in
tervene to save the franking privilege.
Laws are construed according to the in
tention of the trainers of bill by the object
set forth in its title, and if these tests are
fairly applied, the purpose which was hid
den at the time of its passage may, as it
ought to be, defeated.
This clause, after June 30th, cuts off the
free delivery of weekly papers within the
counties in which they are printed, and
postage on these will have to he collected
by the postmaster at the rates of scents for
three months, or 20 cents a year. All news
paper exchanges will also have to be paid
at the place of delivery at the same rates.
The effort TO reduce single letter postage
to two cents did not succeed; the provision
requiring the prepayment of newspaper
postage, when the papers are mailed, also
failed to pass. Daily papers will continue
to be charged thirty cents, to be paid in
advance at the office Of delivery.
The effect of the sweeping clause quoted
will be to still further cripple struggling
weekles, and to limit the circulation Of
free sheets to the immediate neighborhood
where published. To readers of dailies
procured through the postoffice, the expense
will be increased $1.20 per annum for each
paper, while readers of weeklies will be at
an extra expense of twenty cent per annum
on each. If Congress had now the time
and opportunity it would speedily undo its
hasty work.-Dela'care CO., Pa american

Congress has at but made tee testimo- ny in the Credit Mobilier investigation public. The sam of the matter seems to be this: AEr. Oakes Ames. being himself largely interested in the construction of the Union Pacific railroad, tried to inter- ct as many other Congressmen as he could in the project He made arrange nents with a number of prominent Con gressmea to ''carEy" shares of the Credit Mobilier, which had the construction of the road. for their Ssnefit. They wsse tv pay the par value of these shares but were ia reality secured against loss by his Dersonal agreement to repay the purch ase money with 10 per cent interest on de- mand. Upon these shares enormous div idends vera made, to what amount wit nesses disagree, but certainly doubling or trebling the investment. Some of the COngTsssmen interested received these dividends, others did not, some ca me out of the concern early, some late.
 MT. Ames is very hazy about the times of these various transactions, and there is every grade of culpability among those concerned, but we consider them all more or less to blame. It is useless for Mir. Ames to deny in the face of his letters that this stock was distributed with a view to influence legislation. If those who received his favors did not so under stand it. they are not shrewd enough men to be members of Coneress.
