Constitutionality of Prohibitory Liquor Luw. As the opponents of a prohibitory liquor law lay great stress upon the sup-

posed fact of the unconstitutionality of

Supreme Judges bearing directly upon the

in the Constitution of the United States to prevent it from regulating nnd restraining the traffic, or from prohibiting it altogether, if it thinks proper." "Every State, therefore, may regulate its own internal traffic according to its own judgment, and upon its own views of the interest and well being of its citizens."— (5 How., 473.)

Mr. Justice McLean saru: "If the foreign articlc be injurious to the health or morals of the community, ft State may, in the cxcrcise of that great rtnd comprehensive police power which lies at the foundation of its prosperity, prohibit the sale of it."—(6 How., 592.)lp|p

And in regard to the destruction of properly, he said: 1 ••lhe acknowledged police power of a State extend to the destruction of property. A nuisance may be abated. Every thing prejudicial to the health or moral* of a city may be removed Merchandise from a port where a contagious disease prevnils, liable to communicate disease, may be excluded and in extreme cases it may be thrown into the sea."

Mr, Justice Catron -SRi "I admit, as inevitable, thatfif tliR State lias the power of restraint by license to any exent. it has the discretionary power

to judge of its limit, and may go to the length of prohibiting it altogether, if such be its policy."

0£r In the report of the Ward trial in another column, the reader will sec a movement, which to say the least has a very strange look about it. Rolv J. Ward, one of the prisoners at the bar, was admitted to the stand as a witness, to testify as to the credibility of another witness. We leave the learned in the law to decide on the nature and validity of such testimony,, as the most of our notion^ on such subjects were derived from the writings of an old,fellow by the name of STARKIS/^:.' ^.f

All concussion nnd consequent heat are avoided, and hence those causes by which so many horses nro lamed and mined, are, by this invention, entirely ob via teds j-.A gentleman writes to the inventor, that '"before applying them, his horse had always shrunk whenever he struck upon the pavement or hard road, but now lie strikes boldly and freely, nnd moves with greater ease ind freedom." *U 9'

TERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA MAY 3, 1854.

BILLIARDS AND BOWLING. During the discussion last winter on the subject of gaming in this city, public sentiment forced the Common Council to take some measures for its suppression. At first it was thought the Council could abolish it. but after much talk it was discovered that the only way to reach the evil was to require a license from the various gambling houses of an amount so large that it tvoiild be Equivalent to an absolute prohibition. Accordingly an ordinance was passed and published in the official paper requiring Bowling Alleys to pay a license of $500, and Billiard Saloons SI00 each, with the avowed intention of suppressing than. A few weeks afterwards we see the poor oppressed owners of the billiard tables coming up to the City Council praying for a reduction of the license fee. saying that they could'nt stand it at such high rates! and the accommodaiing Council compassionately grant their request! The Bowling Saloons take no notice of the matter at all, and the license so far as we can learn has never been assessed.

The "Prairie City" newspaper, which assumes to be the organ of the people in general, and of the Common Council and the "Saloons" in particular, accuses us of being '•uncomplimentary," to the gambling establishments and ignorant on '"common subjects." The former charge is fluttering, and the latter, considering its source, is

110

je,'

Legislatures have become such gambling af fairs, the constitutions ought to be amended, requiring each State Executive to take out a license, at some rate which would help the revenue of the State. This reminds us of the result of the struggle between the gaming houses and our city government. The Bowlers and Table Rappers have bfcaten. The Rappers made the Council knock off seventy-five per cent, of the license and the Bowlers care so

?-But

Vl!

it is time that

the idea held out by that paper, backed we presume by a certain official, that these evils cannot be remedied, should be refuted.

0 I*" V.

The truth is, the city authorities have power, as they themselves have acknowledged, to suppress the vice of public gambling in this city—an evil which is rapidly growing, and which threatens the speedy ruin of multitudes of our young men, who we have lately learned, nightly throng these attractive saloons, filled with the implements of gaming, and strong drinkt s»It is nonsense to talk about inability to noovt tliQ case, nnd not only nonsense but an imposition upon the decent sense of the community. If there ha9 been any inabil ily on the part of the retiring officers, let the people select at the coming election, men who will undertake and carry out their duties as the executive officers of a moral people, ar.d especially such as will not carry cold water on one shoulder, and whisky and cards on the other. There has been, too much tampering, and bobbing. and dodging for votes nnd popularity, at the expense of the best interests of tlie citizens, and it is lime to put a stop to the game. If any man, or any paper is disposed to angle in a whisky barrel for any personal advantage, they are welcome to all they can catch, but as for us we are not disposed to throw a hook in that direction. And if the people in the aggregate choose to live on, without im provement. half an age behind our neighboring cities. they have an opportunity to vote themselves the bad distinction.

Tcrc-IJautc and Alton Road. A larw-e construction Locomotive, wehjhO O ing twenty-six tons, arrived at this place yesterday for the T. II. and Alton road, and will be immediately employed on th! work at this end of the line. The tracklaying beyond St. Mary's will commence next week. The work at the bluffs here, and at the Embarrass river, the two heav* iest jobs, will be finished by the first of October, and the cars will be running from this place to the junction of the Illinois Central road, ten miles west of Charleston, before New Years. ui*.?

POLITICAL ESCITI-M.—The Washington Union deprecating the wonderful effect of public sentiment on the action of Congress, says that, ^members of Congress should bear in mind that tHey are bound to rote according to tlictr own "opinions, no matter what may be the opinions of their constit

uents.'V Now it ts a cardinal doctrine of the Democracy that representatives should faithfully and without questions, execute th$ instructions of their constituents. WiU oar|j%lits»3f, ttie t*fosecatpr, tell tfi bow this acute angle can be tamed without scratching?

The results of this compromise, wis" think, will settle the difficulty without any thing being done, unless it is the placing of the sentinel. The New Albany and Salem road could not be made to cross over the Terre-Haute road, the elevation of which would be seventeen feet, for six times the amount stipulated, as at the crossing it is runuing on a forty-five footginde, which would compel them to commenco a new grade four or five miles either way. —Putnam Banner. m:n

Trial of ibo Wards at eilznbrttitotrn* KTM 'or tU© Jitui'doroif Prof. Butler.' From the correspondence of the Louisville Journal, we take the following summary of Friday's proceedings:

Court met this morning, pursuant to ad* jourmeut, at 8 o'clock, nnd as usual, shortly after the entrance of the prisoners, thfe room was filled by"the crowd.-.:'

Several persons were examined this morning by the defence in regard to the character lor veracity of Mr. Barlow, one of the witnesses. It was then proposed to introduce Robert J. Ward. Jr., who is indicted in this case as a particeps crimiii' is. as a witness. The prosecution objected. The question was then argued long and ably by Messrs. Crittenden and Gibson. After hearing the remarks of both gentlemen, the Judge decided that his tea* timony should be heard. lie look the stand and underwent a very severe and searching cross-examination.

The testimony on both sides was closed at 12 o'clock to-day. Court then took a recess until 2. At that hour the room was so full that it was almost impossible for any one to weve an inch in any direction?- ••'But notwithstanding the crowd, the excessive heat, and great difficulty of ob'« taining seats, a number of ladies tfertf present.

The argument was opened by Mr. Carpenter, of Coving'on, for the Coiin'mOtf* wealth. Me ppoke for four hours, and was listened to with profound attention. His address was marked with ability. He is a frank and fearless man. Although the subject of some very cuttrffg remarks made by One or two on the opposite side, his conduct in this prosecution has been characterized by firmness, manliness, and courteoueness.

During his specch this evening, Mr. Marshall remarked that he wished to give the defence as much —II as lie Could.— Mr. Marshall, like the war-horse that ••smelleih the battle afar off," is impatient to speak. His defence of Mr. Ward, it is supposed, will be one of the finest efforts of his life.

Mr. Carpenter spoke until 6 o'clock, and having felt, as he stated, quite unwell for several days, and being very much exhausted, asked the court to adjourn until to morrow, wheft he would finish his speech. lie denounced in bitter terms, the witness, Barlow. He is followed in the morning by Mr. Thos. F. Marshall
