Tne Hccestens’ Wacon Licexer —Yester- day seven licensed hucksters were taken before Justice Donn upon a charge of running wagons without license They were not prepared to enter upon a trial, and the cases were postponed till Tuesday next. As the case seems to be important to this numerous class of our cit!zens, and others, non resdents, engaged in this business, we make the following extract from the act of 1554, on the subject Shap 13 of the laws of Sist council is “An act cense and regulate huckste:s,’ in the follow. ing words; “That from and after the passage of this act, itshall not be lawfal for any person or persons. whether resident or non resident, engaged in the business of huckstering, or of trading, bay- ing, selling, or dealing in poultry, eggs, butter, wild yame, vegetables, fruits. and other market stuffs, family provisions, horse feed or corn meal, or of vending, or retailing any other such articles, except fresh fish, within the limits of this city. unless said person or persons shall first obtain trom the Mayor and Register a license therefor. for which license he, she, or they shail pay to this Corporation the sum of $15, which sam sbali be in addition to the cost, hire, or rent of the stall or stand ocenpied, and of the license paid for the ronning of the wagon or other vebicle used in the business as aforesaid. and which license sbail authorize the person or persons to whom it is is- sued to use one wagon or other vehicle, and te ocenpy one stall or stand in the Center market, and one stall or stand jn one of the other markets of this city, not held on the same day as the Cen- ter market, the selection of the market to be made by the person or persons applying for, and clearly Specitied in the body of the license. For each and every additional wagon or other vebicle usea and for each and every additional stall or stand occupied in either of the several markets of this city, a separate license shali be required. Ail licenses granted under this act shall expire on the Ist day of January of each year ’’ The second Section of this act repeals the first section of the eid act of 1953. For some time tbh strued to permit buc their business without paying an additional tax. but that construction has been set aside, and bence the contest The defendants argue that the horse and wagon used by them ought to be ar free from tax as the tools in a mechanic's work shop, and ask why they should be made to pay two or three times for the same property. They regard the old con- struction as the intention of the jlaw-make 8, who, taking the view that, as their horse and wagon were essential to their business, for the privilege of which, they were licensed, these were included in it That. as the horse and wagon would be assessed in the personal property, it would be un- frir to tax them a third time. That, as the horse and wagon were not engaged in the public carry- jug trade, they ougbt net to be taxed as wagons tbat were. And they hold that the law provides for the liceusing of the ‘additional stand or stands” and the ** additto: wagon,” clearly im- plies that the first were included in the license Poures Matters. —Before Justice Barnacle — Tom Welsh, hackman, was brought up to answer ral grave charges. A member of ‘Poms fam- nad surprised him in company witb a colored Latacertain house, and desired Lim to come ¢. Tom wason aspree and wouldn't; and the colored girl, whose name is Sarah Davis, cursed profanely at the person who had fetch Tom away. In the m: rate’s oltire, interrupted the testimony by avering with a large sized oath that the witness was a d—d Mar, and n remonstrated with by the oflicer, insinuated tore oaths that the police were a set of paupers and bumbugs, and that our local mag- stracy, from the Mayer down, was a complete that the entire local authorities, without & setof contemptiole beggars “shucks *’ When the magustrate and pot worth informed bim that he was fined #10 and costs for ofanity, Tom pitched into that official with a de of profane abuse calculated to show that agistrates were even more infamous than the police, and was going on to prove his sssertions. when the Justice committed him to jail for con- tempt of court. Sarah Davis was fired $5 and costs for her portion of the affair James, Thomas, William W., Ann, Elizabeth, Jobn and Mary Cavanaugh, an entire family, were accused of being vagrants, aud of indecent exposure of their persons The first three were caught and committed to the workhouse for 60 days each; the others escaped be following cases have been disposed of at this office during the present month Virginia Malord, indecent language; $1.94 Johu Ress, profanity. two cases; $10 14.

Mr. Epiton: Please permit me to speak a word to the public in bebalf of a large portion of young ladies called seamstresses. We are not believers in _modera woman's rights; but we do believe ~* lis woman's right to counsel man in sorrow’s trying hour,’ and say.‘ As ye love us, protect us”’ It may not be that with our plain dress and artless ways we “tickle the fancy” of gentlemen, but we are sure thet with their judgment they respect us. Shall | detain you with reports of wrong? Shall | talk to you of midnight toil, for ® mere pittance which, perhaps, is not half paid? It 1s not my objectso much to dwell upon the evil, to ask you to heip us to finda remedy If laws can be made to regulate the price of back Lire, why cannot they be made to regulate the Price of a week's labor’ and then make it a fine- able offense for a person not to pay for labor tn arcasonable time There are fashionable dress wakers (we do not mean to say in Washington city, bat in New York and New Orleans.) who fare samptuously, ‘dress to death,”’ build big houses, and never pay one-baif the girls who earn theirmoney. I have known editors sometimes to bave black lists, upon which they place the names ef persons who did not - pay the printer”? 1 wonder bow some of the my dress makers would like that arrangement. Why cannot we bave some association similar to the Typographical Association’ Are gbere not some persons who will interest themsel¥@s upon thissubject? “An ounce of prevention is suid to be better than a pound of cure.’ And now my mind runs over the history of the Five Points Mission, in New York. How came those people so degraded? Answer: Waut of employment, pay, an proper instruction. The world sometimes goes mad over reformations; but prevention never comes within the angle of their vision. They give millions to reform, but not one cent to establish a manufactory of tine arts, which would give employment te so many ~ And, now i think of it, | would like to og informed how much mouey is paid yearly by the United States to other countries, for fancy articies which ought to be and could be made at home. by ladies who need the pay, if some one would ‘start it” A SEAMSTRESS Cenrmat Guaap-Hovsge Cases —John Marty * drunk and disorderly, and falling into the is of the guards, he was caged for the night This morning, being required to pay the sum cf $3.15 the amount required in cases demanding toe special attention that was given bim—and not having the reedy at hand, he was sect to the workhouse for ) days.

Tax Brste ix tHE Praric Scnoots — Mr. Editor: In the Star of this evening I see a further communication tn rd to the use of the Bible in the public schools, whicn I beg lenve to answer, notwithstanding the uncomplimentary manner !n which I am addressed. Had that com- munication been received on a warmer day, it would have been as valuable a whole load of Boston ice. [am asked, ‘‘ How long freedom to worship God endured unstained on the wild New England shore?” Answer—Until the preseat day, (namely, August 14, 1560) And it will endure while the star-spangled banner waves on Ameri- can soil. We will have no crowned heads, and no higher potentates to kick off crowns. As for Puritan reputation, | most respectfully submit subject to the public, believing that all unbiased peopie will agree with me. that truer- hearted women, or better men, never lived Then the writer speculates upon the terms ‘* Repub- liean’’ and *: Protestant."’ {| take my Webster's Dictionary, which | believe to be admitted by all to be the standard dictionary of the English lan- yuage; I find the words defined as follows Protestantism, the reformed religion. Repub- lean, pertaining to or consistent with a republic Republic. a State governed by representatives elected by the citizens It was in this sense I use the worgis. If they have ‘‘negative” or attirmative meaning, where is the authority to be found? Beware, sir, how you volunteer to “Pull the moat from your neighbor's eye, while the beam may be found in your own 1 am invited, irst to find ont what the Bible is, If I know enough.’ Yes. sir, I can read English. The Bible, the book which contains the Sacred Scriptures, of which there are seven different translations in English, bemtdes one that was translated by one of the Popes. It would be a useless waste of time for every individual to translate the Bible for them- selves. We therefore ask which of those transla- t have been made with the most care? His- tory answers the one called King James's Bible We therefore accept that as the most correct Again, the Bible is the law of the Lord, ‘‘ which is perfect.” The Bible, in its quintessence, is this: *Thou sbait love the Lord thy God with all thy, heart, and thy neighbor as thyself Upon this rests all the law and the prophets.’’ Secondly you ask, ‘‘How ta it to be identitied ?? I answer, “Ifany man lack knowledge, let him ask of God, who giveth all things liberaily.” Last of all there comes that pharisaical boast of a “Certainty of faith.” You are of the “S sup) I should suppose y: in divine life. by the display you make of *Chris- tian graces.”’ Methinks I see the look of contempt with which your lip Is curied as you think of those wio do not believe as you do upon theology. I suppose your prayers sound somewhat like the old gentleman's we read of, namely: “Lord bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more.” B.B.

The editor of the Star has bad occasion to cause a inile of it to be put up, and now uses it for various purposes; and, also, Hig? sper with it as that he is having another nile of it built. He finds that any farm band can muke 350 feet (running) of it a day, and that It takes but about fifty feet board measure of inch plank to the panel of sixteen feet to make it; and, further, that two bands, with a pair of oxen, can place in position (set up) perhaps a mile of it adzy. It cannot fail to last much longer than an or ¥ post aud board fence, as lts uprights are uot Inserted In the soll. ots Loss —Saturday night, a gentleman the Northern Liberties, went to mar- ket. having in bis possession about $140; met with some | vely friends and took a drink or two, which rather intoxicated him. He displayed his cash to Lis companions at the drinking places freely. After staying his time out, he started for home, and was accompanied by two or three of bis companious. After bis arrival, upon lookin; for bis cash. he discovered that he was miaus all except about $5. Such incidents should serve to urge oeey young gentleman, when he has “a pocket full o'rocks” and meets lively company ,to obey the Scriptura: injunction, Watch and be sober Hetp ror Covet—This morning, Mr. J. D Stewart appeared before Justice Dona to answer to a charge of assault and battery upon Mr C.D Blanchard.

Mr Stewart did not deny the fact charged, but argued strongly in justification of Liscondict.
