Our friend John L. Staub, Esq,
writes us from Baltimore, correct
ing some OF the statements of our
correspondent in regard to his re-
cent fishing trip to Hancock. He
says he didn't attempt TO fish;
was not frightened in the perilous
voyage across the Potomac; didn'
assess the Juveniles 12l cents to
uniform a military cCmpa-
ny when he was playing ped
agogue at Hancock, and in fact
denies generally all the allie
legations. After reading his
letter we have serious doubts as
to whether he was in Hancock at
all on the occasion referred to. But
he makes q great mistake in at
tempting to score US for the sins
of a correspondent. We are not
responsible, for the views opinions,
or statements Of any correspon-
dent. We never shoulder any
responsibility except that which is
properly our due. Ahidavits are
now in order.

The excursion party Of minis
listers, Sabbath School officers and
others from Chamber burg, Green
castle, Hagerstown and other
points along the line of the Cum
berland Valley Road arrived here
on special train Friday at II NJ
The train left on the return at half
past one, and were accompanied as
ar as Hagerstown by the minis
tiers, Sabbath School officers and
other citizens of this place. The
train was under special charge of
4. II. McCulloh, General Ticket
Agent, who spared no trouble or
exertion to add to the comfort and
pleasure Of the eXcursionists. On
the return the train stopped at
Bedington, Falling Waters, and
Murray's woods, on the Maryland
side, TO give the eXcursionists an
opportunity to pass upon the adap-
liability ofthose places for Sabbath
School pic-niCs. The grounds nj
Bedington were not in a condition
TO create a favorable impression,
having been inundated by the re
cent storm in tina locality, which
rendered the grove almost mae
cessible at present. But there are
many other points along the line of
the road admirably adapted for
picnic purposes, and we have no
doubt they will be used often dur
ing the summer. There is no finer
scenery anywhere than along the
line of the road from Bedington to
the river. And when the Potomac
is reached a view as pictur-
esque as any VIong the classic
Thames or The historic Rhine is
presented, its broad waters hOv-
ing lazily along in its serpentine
course, and heavily fringed on
either side by the thick foliage OF
overhanging trees its precipitous
cliffs, round whose breast the roll
ing clouds are spread, yet on whose
head eternal sunshine settles, fur
nish grand material for the penicl
of an artist. No true lover of the
sul iil"c and beautiful in nature
eau &c on the scene here present
ed without feelings OF awe and adj
miration. It's more pleasant even
than a stroll in the woods, or
Siesta under the shade by the muir
muring brooklet. The scenery
along the road 70 and from the pic
mic grounds ought to be taken into
consideration, and no doubt will
by by those who appreciate the
beauties Of nature.

SELLING LIQUOR TO INDIANS.

Some time since, we had occa- sion to speak Of this very repre- hensible practice, which it is evl' dent is indulged in by some of our citizens. It is a very com mon thing to see drunken Indi- ans in our streets. It is time that this thing was stopped. The man who would sell or give liquor to and Indian is an enemy to the community. He not only violates the law, but endangers the pub lie peace and security of the peo- pie. A drunken white man is bad enough, but when the diabo- lical passions of the savage are aroused by liquor, there is no se- curity where he is allowed to roam.
 Our law provides that any per son who shall sell or give any whisky, brandy, rum. gin, wine, or other spirituous or intoxicating liquor to an Indian, shall if con- victed, be punished by fine of not less than one hundred dollars and not more than three hundred dollars, and imprisonment in the county jail not less than one month and not more than six months, or both such fine and imprisonment in the discretion of the Court. The law gives Jus tices of the Peace full jurisdiction in this matter, and gives one half of the fine to the informant. Let the law be enforced.

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON April 22-Presid- ent Grant has vetoed the finan. -cial bill. He says in his mess age that the bill increases the paper circulation of the country one hundred millions, which is a departure from the true prin. ciples of finance, and is directly contrary to the position taken in every message that he has sent to Congress on the subject. The President recommends earnestly an early return to specie payment.
 Delegate Mccormick has intro. duced a bill to protect the mili- tary telegraph lines in Arizona and elsewhere. A penalty of from $500, to 5000, or imprison- ment for three years is ataehed to any injury to the line or mate rial or to the obstruction of any message.
 Patents to the Benton Mine and the extension of the Tiger mine in Arizona, were mailed to the Land Office in Prescott, yesterday. In the House of Represe natives a bill, providing for the construc- tiOn and maintainance of a line of telegraph along the frontier of Texas, from Dennison via Fort Sill to Brownsville, was passed. The bill appropriates $1OO,OO0.

A large num- Der of beautiful young ladies and stately matrons were there accom- panied by pleasant and gallant gentlemen. Among the young ladies was one who always makes our heart go pit-ti.pat, whenever we see her. The dancing was spirited, and the excellent music furnished by Johny McCann, Ben. Woods & Co.,, ''put life and metal in the heels' of all present. The Hall was decorated with a beautiful marine picture the work of Mir. Burns. The most perfect propriety and good feeling prevailed, and the happy party broke up at an early hour next morning.
