At 8 1-2 o'clock Wednesday morning at Cincinnati, the U. S. Marshal arrested Charles Rowecroft, British Consul, Frederiok Poshner, a Hungarian Captain, and Daniel Rady, an Irish Captain, Paymaster Turnbull, charged with enlisting rescuits for the Crimea. Fifteen men were taken from the cars, whosjB passage had been paid by the agents of the Consul. The case was postponed until 2 o'clock to-day. COHBUI Rowecroft was not put to the inconvenience of procuring bail, being allowed to depart on his pledge of honor. The rest of the defendants were required to give bail for their appearance in the sum of 8800 each.

JIST In consideration of the deep interests taken by all, in the Liquor case now before the Supreme Court, we devote considerable space in to-days paper, to the argument of Judge Mc Donald, in favor of the law. We gave yesterday the principal points made on both sides, and regret that we are not able to furnish a synopsis of the Speeches in favor of the Liquor interests. We will give Attorney General Morrison's speech, if possiblo.^y br

The impression is that the court will reserve its dicision, for soroo tjaie, probably until the next. term.

therefore, we may inquire, Is it useful, possible, and just? It wyis hardly necessary to argue the usefulness of this law. It was not denied by the opposing counsel. The speaker here paid an eloquent tribute to tho beneficent desigu aud operation of a prohibition of tho liquor traflio.

There is another aspect of this case, suggested by the inquiry as to its use-' fulness that is, is it a "sumptuary lato It is said there is an implied limitation upon the power of Legislatures to pass sumptuary laws. Is this one of that kind? Clearly not, he thought, though if it were, it was not necessarily beyond the power of the Legislature, for severe sumptuary laws had been held by wise jurists to be useful, and within the rule laid down by Burlemaqui.

A meeting was held in Evansville, on the 9th inst., to consider some reports circulated in that communitywhich,

clear violation of the law of Nature. The power to legislate was a^general

ower, limited only in certain respects tho Constitution, and outside of the constitutional restrictions the whole field of legislation was open:—If, therefore, a law aimed to promote tho good of community, to benefit humanitv, and violated no constitutional restriction, it was clearly within the power of the Legislature to pass it.—The good of mankind was the object of all legislation, which a Legislature could effect by any means not forbidden by tho Constitution.—Burlemaqui, from whom the Judge read, said that laws were to be made, not only for the general but even for individual gopd, and the only restrictions were: 1st, that the law should bo such that it could be obeyed, that it should be possible 2d, that it should bo useful and 3d, should be just. Outside of the Constitution this is the text, the standard to determine legislative power, Some remarks had been made by one of tho Bench to the effect that they probably were aware of the moral aspects of thi3 case. But, said tlio speaker, there is one moral phase of it that should be considered.—The rule laid down, was, that a law should be possible, useful, and just. If not, it should not exist? But if useful, that should be one reason at least for alio wing it to remain.
