AN AWFUL WARNINo.--In an address be-
fore the Sussex County Temperance Society.
a few days since, ex-Judge Haines made the
startling statement that in fifty-fivc cases of
homicide tried before him during his profess
ional life, fifty were the direct result of in
temperance, and out of six murderers that he
had sentenced to be executed, five could DO
traced directly to the same cause. And yet,
while the criminal record of every court, the
statistics of every Jail, and the doeful history
of every gibbet that is erected in the land,
teaches the same dreadful truth, that intem-
perance is the parent of crime and that no
man can lose his head by liquor without
danger to himself OF to others, and that no
man can possess himself with the demon of
drink without running at least the risk Of the
gallows for a blow struck in it's unreasoning
delirium- -people will go on, day after day,
taking this fearful risk, and all the temper
ance preaching, and all the loatisome exam
pies, and all the fearful warnings, against the
sin, the misery. the crime, and the punish
ment of the gigantic evil, seem to make no
difference. 1t is a marvellous thing, truly.

Gov. John A. Dix, of New York, is what
may be pretty safely called level headed old
gentleman in office. We wish there were
more like him. In his message to the Legis-
lature he remarks: g. 1t is reproach to our
criminal jurisprudence that there are hum
dreds of malefactors in our State prisons
undergoing sentences Tor stealing sums un-
der fifty dollars, while there are others at
large who have by fraudulent contrivances
for their own benefit sacrificed the property
of confiding shareholders, many of whom are
children, to the amount of hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and are living i'll luxury
on the proceeds of these enormous larcenies. =
Gov. Dix recognizes and properly stigmatizes
the monstrous injustice of sending man to
the penitentiary for stealing a pair Of boots OF
a loaf of bread. while another man, who
steals half a million dollars of trust funds,
goes free because be is highly respectable and
able to pay lawyers.

GH Last week we published an article
from an exchange, stating that Judge Voor-
hecs had been lin effect removed from his po-
sition as Cashier of the Clinton National
Bank, owing to his efforts in behalf Of the
election of Senator Potts. Welearn from re-
liable sources that this statement is
substantially correct Several of the heaviest
stockholders and leading Directors made
light against his reelection on party grounds
and it is said that one of our State Judges
took an active part in the proceedings. Mr..
voorhees, has been Cashier of the Bank for
hfteen or twenty years, and has given general
satisfaction in the discharge of his Duties
His long experience is of great value to the
Bank, and it is likely to lose more than he by
the transaction.

TIE GREENsBURG POISONING CAsE.--In our
last issue we stated that DR.. Livezey had been
held to bail in the poisoning case of James A.
Grant at Greensburg. On last Thursday
another hearing was had before the Magis-
trate at MorrisvilIe. He was represented by
A. H. Jones, Esq, of Bristol The New
Jersey Coroner was present, as also L. II.
James, Esq, States Attorney for Bucks
county. The Magistrate declined to open the
case or hear any further testimony, and after
listening to the arguments Of the attorneys,
committed the DR.. to prison on the charge OF
manslaughter, as preferred by the New Jersey
Coroner, the States Attorney giving his opin-
ion that manslaughter was not a baiiaole Oh
fence. DR.. Livezey requested the officer to
allow him to 90 home to his family that ni%ht'
on the promise that if he would allow him to
do So, he. the Do,tor, would hook up ms
horse in the morning to take the constable
and himself to Doylestown. The constaoie
agreed to this, and the next morning. accord
ing to the agreement, the Doctor was ready
and he aud the constable went to Doyies-
town. A writ of habeas corpus was immedi-
ately issued out, and DIR. Livezey was taken
before Judge Ross, and by him admitted 10
bail in the sum of 81. 800, and since that time
he has been attending to his business at ara

The House of Representatives last We'd
nesday passed bill requesting the President
to extend, in the name of the United States,
cordial invitation to all foreign nations TO
participate in the grand Centennial celebra-
ton to he held in Philadelphia in 1876. There
was considerable debate OH the subject, the
resolution being opposed by some prominent
members. Forty-four voted to lay it OIL the
table, but it passed finally without call OF
the yeas and nays. To Judge Kelleys efforts
this gratifying action is largely due. 1t is re-
