THE LICENSE QUESTION.
Contrary to the hopes of many the Court
on Thursday last took the position that the
license law passed last winter was a revenue
law. Under this decision, if we under
stand it aright, Tom, Pick, or Harry, has
but to go through a certain form of pre
senting papers, and that body at once au
thorises him to sell, trade or barter whisky
to whomsoever will buy, thus establishing
that a traffic, whose effects on old and
young has been deeply deplored by all
good men, is henceforward to be nearly as
free from restraint as the sale of bread.
How the court could arrive at such a con
clusion in the face of the provisos in the
sixth section of the act regulating the sale
of liquors, " That nothing herein contained
shall prohibit the court, board of licensers,
or commissioners, from hearing other evi
dence than that presented by the applicant
for license: And provided further. That
after hearing evidence as aforesaid, the
court, hoard of licensers, or commissioners,
-hall grant or refuse a license to such ap
plicant in accordance with the evidence"
—is not for us to determine, though unac
countable to many who in this reading can
plainly see directly the reverse, for to their
view the act confers on the court power to
inquire into the necessity of a tavern or
other place for the sale of liquor us well as
whether the applicants are citizens of the
United States, of temperate habits and
good moral character, A'c
A year or tw4 will we think be sufficient
to demonstrate that this act, under such a
construction, will seriously injure the bet
ter class of taverns, and at the same time
make drunkards faster than ever temper
ance societies made sober men. (Jut of
the way places can now come in, and the
restraint heretofore imposed on men and
boys by the public location of taverns en
tirely done away with. The time is not
distant when they can take a walk in al
most any direction, and find more "accom
dation" for "beast" than "man."
Among other things to be regretted b '
the licensing of a tavern at the railroad
station. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has for years sacrificed thousands of
dollars l.v its refusal to authorize the sale
of liquor in property owned by it, guided
no doubt by the axiom that it was better
to remove temptation horn their employees,
than to incur the risk of gaining a few
dollars in rent, and perhaps losing thousands
by the neglect ol duty home unfortunate
indulgence in liquor might cause. Now
however one is placed by the side of their
large hotel at the station opposite this place
in s building v/Lich can make no pretcn.

THE RESULT IN KANSAS.
The returns from Kansas indicate the re
jection of the Lecompton Constitution, by
the people of the territory, by a large ma
jority. With this rejection the entire fab
ric for a vile constitution, formed in fraud
and endorsed by officers of the National
Government when they knew it to be a
swindle and against the wishes of the peo
ple, falls to the ground. The bribes held
out to the voters could not seduce them to
disregard the rights ot freemen, and the
election will be justly regarded as one of
the severest rebukes ever administered to a
President and his venal satellites. The re
turns as f?.r as heard from are as follows:
AGAINST TnR CONSTITUTION.
Leuvenworth, L 614 maj.
Atchison, 327 maj.
Doniphan, 388 maj.
Quindaro, 130 maj.
Easton, 21 maj.
Delaware, maj.
Laramio, ~18 maj.
Franklin, "2 maj.
Scattering returns from Brown, Calhoun,
Douglas and Shawnee counties increase the
majority against the proposition of the ad
mission of Kansas as a slave State to 5370.
The Kentucky election, although not
an important one considered in relation to
State politics, was attended with some
excitement, especially at Louisville. The
Americans carried their ticket through
out, both at Louisville and Lexington.
The returns from other portions of the
State indicate the election of the Democrat
ic State officers.
In Missouri, Members of Congress were
voted for as well as county officers. The
Democrats have evidently carried the
State, owing entirely to a division of the
opposition. Thus far, however, the Ad
ministration has nothing to boast of. Bu
chanan carried Kentucky, we believe, by
7,000 majority, and Missouri also. In the
St. Louis district, three candidates were up
—American, Republican and Democrat—
and the latter succeeded, though only re
ceiving a little over one third of the votes
polled.
" Democratic" Officeholders aud Oflicc
limiters' Resolutions.
The " democratic" county convention,
among others, passed the following resolu
tions :
Resolved, That we are pleased to be able
thus to endorse the conduct of the Hon. Wil
liam Bigler, in the Senate of the United
States, as faithful to the Constitution and
tending to the welfare of the State and Union.
The democratic people generally unite
in the opinion that Gov. Bigler made an
ass of himself last winter, arid therefore ,
don't think much of this endorsement. j
Resolved, That by our instruction to the
Conferees, by this Convention appointed, to '
have the lion. Allison White nominated for
re-election in this Congressional district, we ;
make known our approbation of his services j
rendered, and rely upon them as indicating
his future democratic action.
As Allison White went soul and body !
for the Lecomptoiithiquity, rivaling in this
respect his southern associates, the vote
this fall will show how far the people ap
preciate such services. Where there is
one democrat in favor of the Kansas swiu- j
die, there are ten opposed to it.
Resolved, That in nominating Dr. Charles
Bower for re-election, we present him as faith
ful to the Democratic party, and the welfare
of the people of the State generally.
Was it faithfulness to the democratic
party that induced him to vote for the free
whiskey bill, and is it for the welfare of
the people that such a bill should be passed?
Unless we are much mistaken, even drink
ing men, to whom Dr. Bower has thrown
temptation to continue in habits they would
gladly llec from, will tell him this fall at
the ballot box that they want no such wel
fare. Besides, there arc a good many oth
er things in the doctor's course which do
not smack of the welfare of the people, of
which he will hear more anou.
Resolved, That we denounce any and every
attempt to procure the repeal of the so-called
tonnage tax, and for the benelit of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, as favoritism,
and without due regard to the interest of the
tar payers of the State generally.
We hardly know what to make out of
this resolution, which, with the others, owes
its paternity to the late Auditor General,
ft denounces any attempt to procure the
repeal of the tonnage tax, hut don't instruct
the J>r. to vote against it—as much as to
say, "Dr., if you can make a good thing
out of it for yourself and us, you can vote
for its repeal, as we shall only denounce
those who 'attempt to procure' that end."
llow is it? Can the Democrat answer "by
authority" as it did last fall when it pledged
Dr. Bower against the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad grant?
few The Democrat is down on n tariff,
and is so far gone as to assert that the pres
ent tarifl is one of the opposition's ma
king. The ' democracy" of Washington
officeholders, with about a dollar an J.our
ioj the time they actually do anything, is
wondet.nl The. Uthoriny democracy here
who are getting down t<> the " European
;.tuii lard, think differently.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH
SUCCESSFULLY LAID!
THE OLD WORLD AND THE NEW
TEUECJRAPIIICAIXY UNITED.
The United States steamer Niagara ar
rived at Trinity Hay, New Foundland, on
August 4, with the great news of the suc
cess of the Atlantic Telegraphic enterprise.
The following despatch was received over
all the lines from Cyrus W. Field, Esq., of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company :
Trinitt Bay, August sth, 1858.
To the Agents of ike Associated Press:
The Atlantic Telegraph fleet sailed from
Queeustown on Saturday, July 17th, and met
in mid-ocean on the 28th, made the splice
iu the cable at one o'clock T. M., on Thurs
day, the 29th, and then separated, the British
steamers Agamemnon and Valorous bound
to Vaieutia, Ireland, and the Niagara and
Qorgon for this place, whore wo arrived yes
terday, and this morning the end of the cable
will be lauded.
It is 1,C98 nauiical or 1,950 statute miles
from the telegraph house at tho head of Va
lentia harbor to the telegraph house at Bay
Bulls, Trinity Bay, arid for more than two
thirds of this distauco the water is over two
miles in depth. The cable has been paid out
from the Agamcmnen at about the same speed
as the Niagara. The electrical signals sent
and received through the whole cable are per
fect. The machinery for paying out the cable
worked most satisfactory, and it was not
stopped a single moment.
Capt. Hudson, Messrs. Everett and Wood
house, Engineers, the Electricians, and tho
officers of the ships, and in fact every man
on board exerted himself to the utmost to
make tho expedition successful; and, by the
blessing of Divine Providence, it has suc
ceeded.
After the end of the cable has landed and
connected with the land line of telegraph, and
the Niagara has discharged some cargo be
longing to the Telegraph Company, she will
go to St. John's for coals, and then proceed
at onco to Now York. Cyrcb W. Field.
Wo add a despatch subsequently receiv
ed :
TRINITY BAY, August 7.—To the associated
Press, New York:
The Atlantic Telegraph Cable was success
fully landed here yesterday morning, and is
in perfect order.
The Agamemnon has landed her end of the
cable, and we are now receiving signals from
the Telegraph House at Yalontia.
The U. S. steamer Niagara and 11. M.
steamers Gorgon and Porcupine leave for St.
John tomorrow.
Due notice will bo given when the Atlantic
Telegraph line will bo open for public busi
ness. Cyrus W. Field.
Valentin Ihtrbor. —This place, hitherto
comparatively unknown, is about to assume
vast importance, as the European terminus
of the Atlantic Telegraph. The following
description of the island and town we copy
from Lippincott's Gazetteer:
Valentia, or Kenmore, an island of the west
coast of Ireland, Munstcr, county of Kerry,
three miles S. W. of Cahircivcer, and separa
ted from the mainland by a strait lj miles in
breadth, and which forms the most western
harbor in the British Islands—lat. 51.55 N.,
lon. 10.19 W. Length of island, 7 miles;
breadth, 2 miles. It gives the title of Vis
count to the Annesley family.
Valentin, or Valencia, a town or village at
the S. E. extremity of the island of Yalcntia,
Ireland, is beautifully enclosed among brown
mountain slopes. Population of town and
parish, 2482. The harbor is deep, capacious,
and eompl"tely land-locked, and being the
most western port of Europe, has lately at
tracted considerable attention in consequence
of a proposal to make it the western terminus
of railway comm jnication, and a principal
station for Atlantic steamers.
Trinity Bay and Bulls Arm Bay, a.s our
readers are doubtless aware, are on the
eastern eoast of the island of New Found
land, about lat. 47 X. and lon. 52 W.

Death by Accidental fin"ijivy. —Karly
yesterday morning Henry Folkz, a Her
man, aged 6(5 years, was found dead—acci
dentally hung—in the ice house of his
son-in-law, west of Hyde Park. During
the night he had evidently fallen down a
hatchway, and at a distance of ten feet
brought up against some iron hooks used
for lowering and raising meat. One hook
had severely lacerated his left hand and
arm, and another hook had caught his
clothes at the back of the neck. The
strong collar band to his shirt was thus
drawn so tightly against his front neck as
to cause his death. An inquest was held
and a verdict rendered of death by acciden
tal hanging.—SV Louis Democrat.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT

riMIK subscriber takes pleasure in offering to
X his customers a new Patented Gas-burning
Cooking Stove, undoubtedly the best stove mailt.
It is well known that all inflammable matter
requires a certain amount of air to supportcqm
bustion, and if the supply is insutlicient itn
impossible to produce a llaine. The beat at
the fire, in ordinary cooking stoves, decompose
the fuel, and as all the fresh air is admitted un
der the grate, its oxygen is exhausted before !
has passed through the fire chamber. Theclo*
flues at the top of the stove then act as an ex
tinguisher, tending to put out the fire instead"
assisting the combustion. A large portion •
the fuel, therefore, passes off in the shape -
smoke, clogging up the flues of the store so''
to impede the draft and interfere with the bi
king,—or of invisible gas which combines*'
the lime and so destroys the mortar ot t
chimneys, loosening the bricks, and expo s "?
the dwellings to the danger of fire. , ,
The introduction of an additional supp ).
cold air would cool the gas below theigm
temperature, but by the proper apP' lClll
above the fire of air previously heated to a'
perature of several hundred degrees ( w J" ~
one of the prominent features of the pa'
the gases are inflamed ta numerous J cls '
their combustion i 9 sufficient to heat aw ® _
even if the draft through the fire c ' iam ,• j
entirely closed. In addition to theordinJ
rect draft under the grate and through t
chamber, the gas-burner has an additions
through the top plates, which is of ltse
cient to maintain combustion. The uppe.
not only consumes the gases, but"'
strengthen aud preserve the centre pieces

alone, all the operations of cooking c>

and the fuel consequently burns mo ~
and more economically- A suffice! l ien j,
