ANEW DEpARTuRE.-The associated
press dispatch from Washington, on
the 25th, states that Judge Spence,
Assistant Attorney General for the
Post Office Department, has furnished
an opinion to the Postmaster General
taking the ground that postmnsters
are liable on their bond for losses Of
Government property while in their
possession. A registered package, con-
tanning about 5000 worth of postage
stamps, was received at the Boston
postofiice Tor transmission beyoRd. 1t
was traced to that Office, and thero
missed through the negligence of the
postmaster or employees there, as is al
legged. The sum was charged up 10
General Burt the postmaster, who de-
INJURED in a letter 10 the Postmaster
General, by whom II was referred TO
Judge Spence, who justified tho de
partmcut in charging i to the post
master. 1t is the first tine that an
opinion has been given holding post
masters responsible on their bonds Tor
the loss of Government property pass
irg through ths post Office.

LOOKING UP THINGs.--The editor Of
the New York Sun remarks, that if
Attorney General Pierrepont carries
out his design of making a thorough
investigation into the acts of the Fed
eral officers in Arkansas who held ap-
pointments under his predecessor, he
will bring to light an aggregation of
villainics without parallel, even under
the present corrupt administration
The investigation ought to go far
enough back to include searching in
quiry into the circumstances under
which District Attorney and United
States Marshal were removed from of,
fee because they were instrumental in
bringing an indictment against Powell
Clayton for being concerned in elec-
ton frauds but as this would deeply
involve the President, who replaced
tho too jealous officials with personal
friends of the accused, and thus gave
renewed license to the corruption OF
the ballot box, it can hardly be ex-
pected.

THE BUNKER HILL CENTENNIAL
The one hundrcth anniversary Of the
battle OF Bunker Hill was celebrated
on the spot on Thursday, the 18th, by
a grand military parade, speeches, fir
ing of cannon and the exhibition OF
relics Of the glorious days Of &c. The
military exhibition was, perhaps, the
finest display Of the kind ever seen in
this country in time of peace. Com.
panies from Maryland, Virginia, Ala
bama, and South Carolina were pres.
cnt--the latter company carrying the
old battle flag Of Eutaw Springs. The
display of northern troops, manly from
the New England States, New York
and Pennsylvania, was fully up topre-
vious expectations. There was fra.
ternity Of feeling between the men OF
the North and South, both under the
same old flag, and on one of the hal
lowed spots Of Revolutionary memory
that brought back to the spectators
visions of the days when we were O
united people, and gave assurance OF
the fact that the power Of politicians
to keep the two sections of the country
much longer apart Is passing away

SHERMAN's BooK.--General Sherman
in his memoirs does not devote a sin
gle line to any of Centre county's five
generals and fifteen colonies. His
book is a fraud Bellgonte Republican.
Considering the way in which Gen
cral Sherman speaks Of many Of the
generals he does notice, it is perhaps
as well for "Centre county's five gen
erals" that he did not mention thcm.--

IMPORTANT DEClHoN.-Some time
since the case of Parkhill, Cashier of
the Monongahcla National Bank, of
Brownsville, was tried in the United
States Courts ParkhiIl had refused
to allow n revenue officer to rummagc
the bank in search ofunstamped checks
The jury found a verdict against the
defendant subject to question of law
reserved, as to whether the officer had
any authority to make the examina-
ton. Judges McCandless and McKen-
nan rendered decision that in accord
ance with the provisions of the Ma
tional Banking Act, the officer had no
authority to make the examination.
IL appears the act specifically desig-
mates the officer empowered TO make
the examination. We're it otherwise
irresponsible parties could gain access
to banks and work irrcparable injury.
Proceedings were instituted against n
number Of bank officers last spring
but this will have the effect to settle
them. - IVilidmspoH Sun.

IHE LftEAcE YtHofiN%''
We notice that Judge Ross, of the
Bucks and Montgomery district, has
delivered u written opinion on tho H.
ccnsc question. Hc holds that in Of
feet the new license law is TO take out
of the discretion Of the courts much
responsibility which has hitherto been
vested therein-or perhaps imposed
thereupon. He maintains that the
courts are bound to grant licenses to
all who may apply therefor and who
comply with the legal conditions which
arc required from applicants. By this
new act Of legislation Judge Ross be-
licves that tree license law has been
established, and that it no longer lies
within the discretion Of courts to limit
the number of licenses granted by any
consideration except that Of the quail
fication OF the applicants, but that
they are bound by the law TO grant
the petitions of all proper petitioners
If this opinion should be confirmed by
the higher courts, the new license law
will mako n radical change in tho
whole license system and produce ro'
suits which we believe were not con
tcmplated by those who effected the
legislation. For these results, howev
err the courts cannot bo held rcsponsi
bic, for, as Judge Ross remarks, it Il
not for them to speculate upon the con
sequences of the law but to admins
ter it in accordance with its spirit ant
meaning, and in regard to this the doc
tors seem to widely disagree.

TAKES NO STocK.-The editor Of the
bloomsbury Columbian says, ave hear
of Mr.. Bigler, Mr.. ,Galbraith and 9th
ers, declining to be candidates for Gov
ernor. We take no stock in declina-
tions. The Democratic party and the
people of the State have right to de-
mand the services OF any citizen when
they are required, and no man not alb
solutely void of patriotism will refuse
to comply with such demand if made.
The declinations mean only that the
persons publishing them will not strive
for the honor. We hope yet to see the
day when no man who makes himself
a candidate or solicits any such favor,
can be nominated or elected to any
State office.

the outcast of 1850 an honored guest

ENORMOUS RNsISEs. AN engine has
recently been placed on the Pcnnsyl-
vania railroad which Weighs seven
tons heavier than the pondrous Mo
doc, whose drawing capacity is almost
twice that Of an ordinary locomotive.
The Modoc is capable of taking eighty
loaded cars from Harrisburg to Colum-
bia, while other engines are put to o
severe test when they pull fifty cars
on that portion Of the road The new
locomotive when fully initiated Is cx.
pected 70 get away with hundred
cars. Thc.qply argument that can be
used against large engines Is that they
are hard on tracks, but as the Penn
sylvania railroad company has adopt
cd steel rails--ablc to withstand q lhi
greater pressure than iron rails-the
wear will not be material. The intro
duction Of these mammoth engines il
considered very economical measure
by tho railroad company.

DOUBLE FACED PoLITIcs This
just now seems to trouble the editor of

faithful TO the pledges of their platforms. The
political annals of the country are full of proofs
to sustain what we declare. Here Is one Of the
notable facts: When James X. Polk ran as a can :
didate for President In opposition to Henry Clay
he wrote a letter to Judge Rowe in which he pro-
claimed himself as good tariff man as Henry
Clay, who was the founder and advocate Of the
system Of protection calculated to build up Ame-
lean industry. Judge Rowe circulated that letter
In all directions. George NJ. Dallas, the candi-
date for Vice President on the ticket with Polk
discussed It's merits and sppsoved It's professions,
yet when the Polk Administration was In power
Dallas defeated a measure Of protection then In
force by his casting vote in the Senate, an d
james X. Polk approved the rcpcaling bill. This
is plain history. M
If his "history'' is no better on other
matters, he had better abandon his
calling. Why, boy politicians know
more about "history" than this literary
fraud. For the editor of a metropoli
tan journal to belle "history' in thit
way is disgrace to the profession
The writer is a profound, if not a nat

A GOVERNMENT AssAuLr.-A game
of political sharp-shooting is going on
between Vice President Wilson and
Grants personal organ, the Washing
ton Republican. The Vice President
seems to be ashamed of the behavior
Of his superior and speaks out quite
plainly through the columns of the
Boston Advertiser. The Republican
counters and charges the Vice "gov-
ernmcnt' with being a ''thin-skinned
Credit Mobilier' and "cringingly,
cowardly imbecilc.p Rather high
sounding words, we should say, for an
organ which leads party controlled
by grand moral ideas If imbecility
leads an old rooster like the V. p. to
tell the truth, it would be well for the
country if a few more leaders would
initiate him. II is 80 remarkably
strange that whenever a leading Rad
ical becomes disgusted with the crimes
and follies Of his party, and commenc-
es to expose them that he is at once
pronounced rascal or crazy. Speak
