The establishment of Henry Clcws
4 Co., was lifted into credit by our
paternal government at Washington
and like the Jay Cooke 4 Co. concern
was q special pet Of Grant and com
pany. 1t is said to be doubtful if the
assets can be made to pay the secured
creditors, which leaves an ugly look
for the above victims Puff after puff
of this firm was sent us from 1868 to
1871, with the request 10 publish for
the 'mutual benefit of both" but we
never nibbled, always satisfied that
their capital, like their professed re.
ligion, was little "too thin to last.
This firm, like Colfax, would rob their
country of its treasure and if checked
or1hterfered with, would have no hes
ltatlon in taking an oath that they
never recovered the plunder. Jay
Cooke & Co. and Henry Clcws 4 Co.
belong to the same congregation of ma
tional robbers. These christian Bank
cr's" have robbed the people of the
United States of more treasure in five
years, than all the thieves and pick
pockets combined have in fifty years.

The License Question on the Tapis.

On Friday morning the Grand Jury
having disposed of most of the ordi-
nary business addressed itself to the
license question, with the prospect of
continuing in session next week What
course they will pursue in regard to the
measure seems to be a matter entirely
in doubt
In giving the usual charge to the
Grand Jury on its assembling the Court
referred to the new duty which had
been imposed upon them by the last
Legislature, and, in substance, told them
that the Legislature in comforting the
power on them Of determining the is
suing of license did not contemplate
that they should use it to entirely pro-
hibit the sale of intoxicating liquors in
the county. We are not " learned in
the law" but have always understood
that the intention of the lawmakers
could be found only in the law itself
That this view is unquestionably cor
rect we have but to consider that law
may remain in force a ccntury-some
laws are several centuries old-who
then shall interpret the intention Of the
lawmakers but the law itself2 That
it has been in force but one year does
not alter the case. The action of the
Legislature, comforting the power Of
ordering the licensing Of the sale of
spirituous liquors on the Grand Jury,
may have been wise or an unwise act,
but like all other laws the Legislature
retained no reserved right in it. The
Grand Jury is invested with complete
power in the matter to order license to
be issued to all applicants, to a selected
number or that none at all shall issue
All instruction and power are to be
sought for in the law; any suppositi-
tious opinions of a legislature now
defunct as any corpse are not to be
thought Of If it did not say what it
meant there is no Interpretation can
come from the dead to amend or explain
its act. 1t is never question what the
Legislature MEANT, but what does the
law SAY?

A Legal Reputation in Danger.

- The publication of the law for the
protection of fish brought host of in
quires from interested persons to some of
the Elkton lawyers, to know if such a law
does actually exist. One gentleman, "learn-
ed in the law" Immediately proceeded to
examine Coke, Blackston, Kent, and all
other authorities likely to shed light on so
important point, in which personal rights
were involved, aud finding nothing in any
of these learned commentators made his
appearance in our humble sanctum with q
large roll of "legal cap" covered with un-
ineligible hieroglyphics, which pass among
lawyers for writing, and charged us with
having published a garbled extract of Arti-
Gle Al of the Md. laws; section having
been omitted We told him that Section
had been repealed, which he emphatically
denied, Offering to stake his illegal reputa-
tion " against our Office, types, presses, fix
lures and furniture thereunto belonging.
Having doubts of the morality of betting,
and also doubts as to the equality of the
stakes, we respectfully declined, but refer
red him to legal friend, who pointed out
in the acts of 70 the repeal of Section of
Article Al. This was a stunner to the
"learned gentleman" who made a remark
exceedingly disrespectful of Blackston, and
broke out into cold sweat at the narrow
escape he had made of losing his illegal
reputation by recklessly proposing to bet
it against printing office.

License in the Pennsylvania Legislature.

In the matter of the Local Option law
which has been on trial before the Penn
sylvania Legislature, the two Houses being
unable to agree, a conference committee
was appointed, and reported the bill on
Wednesday,, substantially as prepared by
the Senate, with the license varying from
800 to 800.
The bill as agreed to by both Houses,
contains twelve sections. The first abso-
lutely repeats the Local Option law of
March 9th, 1872. The second says that
licenses may be granted by the Court of
Quarter Sessions when not otherwise pro
vded for by special law for one year. The
third cllssifieS hotels, inns, and taverns, as
follows: When yearly sales exceed 500
per anuum, 800 license shall be paid;
when over $4,000, to pay $400 license;
when over $4,000, to pay 5000 license, and
when over $4,000, to pay 500 license;
while the first class houses, when sales are
under $1,000, shall pay $50 license. The
fourth section intlicts punishment for sell
ing without license, the highest fine being
$1,000, and the lowest $500, and imprison-
ment not exceeding one year. The fifth
section awards the fines and penalties to
the City Treasurer. The sixth obliges con-
stables of the wards to make returns Of
unlicensed houses. The seventh authorizes
husbands, wives, parents, children and
guardians to give notice to the house not
to sell to their relatives who may be of
dssipated habits. The eighth prohibits
foreign and non-residents from selling
The ninth authorizes dealers bonds to he
cancelled after thirty days notice. The
tenth requires bonds of $4,000 to be signed
before licenses issue. The eleventh pro-
hibits sales on Sunday and to minors, and
the twelfth provides that no licenses here
tofore granted shall be invaldated and
that nothing in this act shall authorize the
manufacture or sale of liquors in cities,
counties, boroughs or townships having
special prohibitory laws.

HALL JOURNAL OF HEALTH.-This I'M
pretentious little Journal is one of the most
useful publications that finds its way into
the family circle. \ collection of recipes
it might be termed for preserving the
health; it is always giving the family circle
warning of the approach of disease and
directions how to avoid or expel the incidi-
Gus destroyer. What we eat, drink and
breathe are the mediums by which sickness
and death enter the guarded fortress of
life, and to keep constant watch over these
avenues, is the work of the Journal.
The February number contains the first
paper of a domestic story, which, while be-
longing to the family Of fiction, is character
istc of the journal. The title is Our
Summer at Maplewood,' by Cousin Kate.
The author was formerlya resident of Elk
ton, of a speculative turn of mind, and de-
voted to the study of hygiene and expert
menting in the cuisine department. The
story will be the result of the knowledge
thus gained, presented to the reader in the
experience of this family of three romantic
city ladies during Summers residence in
the country, and will embody their recipes
for cooking and preparing plain wholesome
food, and what come of it. The heroine
in this novel story would seem to be the
stomach; but we wouldn't be surprised if
some dispeptc masculine should be taken
in, his outraged stomach doctored up with
we'll cooked, wholesome food, the most
potent of all medicines, and then be appro
priated by one of his three fair physicians
under the plea of watching over his health
the balance of his life.
The Editor of the Journal in speaking
Of the Story says:
We begin this month the publication
of very entertaining story, entitled, 'Our
Summer at Maplewood,' which our lady
readers will peruse with interest. and which
will prove very valuable addition to the
literature of the household. 1t will take
several months to complete this interesting
work, and while each months instalment
will possess value in itself, it's attractive
ness will be greatly enhanced to those who
peruse the chapters consecutively as they
appear. The plan of the work, as well as
its merits as literary production. may be
fairly determined by the outline given in
this number. The writer is a lady of fine
literary requirements, and the methods to
be described are such as she has personally
tested and found successful"

ALTERATION IN THE Postal. LAW,

ALTERATION IN THE POSTAL Law
On the eve of its adjournment Congress
did another shabby trick against the
circulation of intelligence. SThe postage
formerly was one cent for two ounces
on transient newspapers, and similar
mail matter, and on merchandise. The
PostmasterGeneral recommended dou-
bling the rates on merchandise, but
Congress doubled on all in the third
class, which included papers, pamphlets,
circulars, &c, which amounts to prohi-
bltlon in a great measure. A paper
weighing over two ounces will now
cost more to send half a dozen miles
than the same package will cost to send
it to Europe. The same Congress par
TALLY restored the ranking privilege
by making all matter published by order
of Congress pass free through the mails
under the frank of member of Con-
gress. In connection with the above
the following remarks by the MErHo-
DIST are very appropriate:
Some evil spirit has demoralized the
life of our political classes. We dor
know how it is developed, or how it
gets such influence, but it seems to de-
stroy the manhood and debauch the
virtue of every one who comes within
its sphere. Men of the strictest integ-
rity at home, and of the clearest views
on public questions, will go to the Cap
ita as the chosen trustees and deliber-
ately do what they know to he wrong
and contrary to the public good

ELNTON, MARCH 20. 1875.
A Good Omen for the Farming Interest.

1t is noteworthy that there are com
paratively few public sales or vendues
of farm stock, implements, &c, this
Spring in our county, which is an evil
dence that people fixed on farms have
made up their minds to stay awhile
and that the delusion of deserving the
country to seek imaginary fortunes in
the cities, which was one of the most
fatal decisions of the times, has been
pretty generally abandoned. Although
farmers complain bitterly of having
hard times, aud are much pinched to
get along, but when their condition is
compared with men in other pursuits,
they, as Il mass, are far more prosper
Gus than their city rivals, whom they
are in the habit of envying. Content
ment with their business and renewed
interest in it to keep up with the ad-
vance in agriculture, would 60 far to-
ward establishing permanent prosperity
in that much mathematical calling
The creating of associations of vari-
Gus kinds among farmers is tending to
build up and broaden a system of So
ciety adapted to country life much need
ed, which is gradually investing the
business Of farming with more attrac-
tons than it has recently, especially
for the young, who pine for fellowship
and company. The radical changes
effected by the application of steam to
travel, manufacturing, and the numer-
Gus other occupations in business has
wrought a great change in society," and
the old habits of neighborhood inter
course and social immunities which
made the lives of our Well.to-do rural
grandfathers and mothers so valued and
highly cherished, have been entirely
broken up by the revolution in business
within the last half century. \ state
of society for the country to take the
place of that which has been destroyed
must be established, and the only hope
10 accomplish this desirable end is in
association, which seems gradually to
be taking shape and acquiring firm
foothold among rural communities.

WHEN TO ADyERTIsE.-There

WHEN TO ADvERTIsE.-There is no sea-
son of the year when 1t is safe tie discon-
tinue advertising. When business is dull
it is needed most and should be most ener-
getically used, because people are most
attracted at all times to the houses which
take pains to invite their trade, and adver-
tisers get the largest share of what is doing
-" Dull times, y it is said. "are the best for
advertisers" Because when money is tight
and people are forced to economize, they
always read the advertisements to aScer-
tain who sells the cheapest and where they
can get trade to the best advantage. If
your goods have special season, build up a
name for them when out of season; and
that reputation will largely aid your sales
when the season arrives for putting them
into market. If "no pent up" season
limits the demand for your wares, it is
clear that there is no time when you can
iudiciously withdraw from the public eye
your announcements.
