o. N. WoRDEN, My Dear Sir Your favor
making enquiry as to the result Of the Temper
ance effort in this county, was duly received. II
gives me pleausre to inform you that no license
to sell Intoxicating drinks has been granted by
our Court since January, 1852. This position
was taken and maintained for fifteen years. by
electing Associate Judges who were opposed to
license, The names o! the two judges who had
the principle and the nerve to make this right
eous decision, and to stand by it for ten years
are Orange A. Lewis and Joseph Mann. No two
men ever served the people more effectually
ln 1866, being member OF the Legislature,
deemed It wise and just to put the oft repeat
ed decision OF the voters OF this county on thia
vital question. on the Statue Book, and you NAV
zee, on page 65S Of the Phamphlet Laws OF 1866
the prohibitory law Of Potter county. The pas
says OF this act excited the advocates OF free
drinking to great actlyity to it's repeal but there
against temptation to form drinking habits.
And It will undoubtedly long remain, a blessing
to all, and q comfort to nine tenths of our peo-
pie; for, under it's benign influence, the number
of tipplers is steadily decreasing and fewer
young men begin to drink than when IL
censed houses gave respectability to the habit.
There are but few people who keep liquor in
their houses for private use, and there il no in
dication that the number OF them has increased
since the traffic was prohibited.
This law is as readily enforced as are the Ia ws
against gambling, licentiousness and others Of
similar character In every instance, the

has been successful, when there was the proper
proof, There is, unquestionably, greater diff
entity in proving this offense than many others
because the business Of buying and selling
whiskey contrary TO law is more demoralizinS
than most other criminal habits. The man who
SELLS under such circumstances, expects the
persons who buy, in case OF prosecution, to
swear falsely, and niue out of every ten who
will ask man to violate the laws Of the State in
order to crafty their appetite for strong drink.
will not disappoint this expectation. This bu.
initiating fact Of itself, is sufficient to condemn
the whole traffic.

incumbent desires to retain his place, while
there is heavy pressure in favor of the ap-
pointment Of Washington Booth. No less than
nine different delegations-hve for Booth,
and four for Thomas = bored the President
about the matter, yesterday, and every sort of
assertion, argument, and appeal was employed
on both sides. One party, in favor q Bloth,
told the President that Maryland would have
given 10000 majority for Greeley, if the people
had not been assured that Thomas would be re-

CAN THE LEGIsLATURB DO SOMETHING
FOR THE PROPLRi

Before the Legislature sdiourns-- which must
now be very soon--it would be ht for IL to give
some degree OF attention to the measures Of
general, public importance, such a affect the
interests and are important to the welfare oi
the whole State. Among these measures are
those to establish an equality Of representation
in the LegisIatnre, for allcitizens. rsgardsss Of
residence. The present system is unjust, and
un- Democratic. 1t is not q Republican form Of
government, The members of the Legislature
well know this. but are they going to reform
the evil, and redress the injustice
The taxes may Be grestly reduced. They are
now heavier than are necessary. The people
groAn under heavy burdens, in order that the
revenue may be larger than is needed, aud that
heavy balance may be kept in the Treasury.
Will tho Legislature give little earnest consid-
Grafton to this subject /? Will it not try to fnd
ii ne to repeal those taxes which are not need
ell?
And what Of the school laws? We are aware
that the Committee on Education has been
working 10 perfect bill, but il ought not to be
reported at the heel OF the session, too late for
serious and careful consideration. 1t should
have reached long before this, even if some Of
the multitude Of private acts were temporarily
delayed.
As for the Exemption Act, and the repeal Of
the Attachment law, we may hope, perhaps that
something viii be done, yea or nay, in the Sem
ate, with the act exempting the beggarly amount
Of 5000, while the attachment iniquity is not to
be repealed but rather to be increased in serious
ness. from present prospects.
Many other general mearures ought to have
the earnest. serious, deliberate attention of the
Legislature. The call for Constitutional Con-
vention the amendment Of the Constitution,
permitting general incorporation Act the
modification Of the Usury Law; a general Law
establishing complete Drainage System these
are some Of the very important matters which
beth Houses should have been discussing and
laboring upon, day by day. for the past six
weeks, while the truth is, we are panied to say,
that the pressure of private bills and special
legislation has driven them into the decks and
pigeon holes.
When will the Legislature be able to attend Ia
the business Of the people?
