am yours q C

We this day publish the License Law
recently passed by our Legislature.
Though we are in favor Of any measures
which win tend to prevent the evils Of in
temperance, yet we much doubt if This new
net will have a beneficial effect, or will give
Satisfaction TO any portion of the public.
To some towns that have succeeded in pre-
venting the sale of ardent spirits, it will bc
very obroxious, as it will oblige them to
grant licenses in future.
The following communication on the
subject we insert, although we do not Gu
tirely agree with the writer in his views.
Eemmunieation.
MEssRs. EDrroRs,
The Legislature now in session, under
stand has passed, an act in amendment of
an act for licencing venders Of wines aud
spirits, restricting retailers to sell not less
than one quart to any person. | have not
seen the law hut regret that the Legisla-
ture has thought best to medde with it II
gain, and am surprised that .he members
from Newport had not moved to exempt
this town from the operation of the new law.
NV opinion is that it will not do for the me-
ridian of Newport, and think that i, will
not be virtually complied wuh In town
which contains so many strangers as New
port does in the summer-many of whom
have no home to carry their quart to-be-
sides the various coasters and packets which
put in here wind bound, as well as for 9TH
er purposes oftrade, fishing &c., quite an
additional population, who expec, to hnd
the laws of the marke, such as to supply
their wants If they have the money to pur-
chase, say the law cannot, and will no,
be virtually complied with. II person
purchases liquor Oh condition that it is not
to be drank in the shop, the shop man has
complied with tina, requirement of tn. law,
but cannot pre'rn, his customers from
drinking il there unless he uses force, which
he is not bound to do aud risk his own head
in the attempt, nor is he hound to COM
plain of his customers for this breach
Of the law, for the penalties Of the statute
reach no farther than the vender.
believe ths, II is time that a Rhode Is
land party wa. organized in this State, and
i, may as well have its birth in Newpor, a.
any where, that will undertake to rescue
the Rhode Island character from the wreck
which is constantly making Of it BY th,
Massachusetts and Connection, men wh'
hs'e planted themselves among usl X

Oua CHAMpIoSs.-"Do you read the Herald 7"
asked gentleman the other evening Of a lady at
party.
ayes, ST., and so does my mother, constantly"
81 am surprised at that-it is the most immoral,
indecent and blasphcmous publication in the city"
"Indeed, sir"
eyes assure you! am surprised that any re-
spectacle person should admit it into their house,
"Well cir, don't know any thing about your sur
prse-I do that the paper is as you represent
il. But am thankful that have not my own iudg-
ment to depend upon. My mother, sir, who has
brought up large family as honorable members of
society and whs is herself good an old lady as
ever lived has constantly taken in the Herald, and
ara sure that if il were an improper paper she
would not read it, suffer her daughters TO do So"
"You are champion Of the Herald"
al am, sir, because see an attempt made by the
editors Of other newspapers, who is plain, are Jea
Ious of Mr. Benefits superior abilities, to put him
down. In doing this they 60 too far and show their
design. They insult very large portion of the CON-
munity Of New York most grossly"
Chow sol"
mwhy the Herald is read by very large portion
Of the respectable community. II were an impro-
per paper they would not do so. These papers,
then, which say that Mr. BENEFITS paper is immo-
1900
reading il are of an immoral character. They inf
suit us SIR, in attempting TO put him down; and for
my own sake, for one will defend the Herald from
the charges falsely made against it by the Star, and
am told, for do not read it, the Express"
This IS the substance Of conversation which took
place few evenings ago, between one OF our fair
readers and Of our foul foes. IL places the matter
in a very clear vew. For two years the Herald has
gene on, pursuing a straightforward course in the
cause of morals, civilization truth and independence
Qrea, opposition has been made to this new course
by the press who have been Jogging on like burs
which stick 10 the coat tails of those who come in
contact with them, and are dependent upon them for
any mot on whatever Yet despite all the opposition
that has been raised the circulation Of the paper has
daily increased, until it has completely killed the old
leaden Wall street papers. The readers sof the Her
ald we are proud to say comprise the fair the think
ing and the intellectual portion Of the citizens OF this
great metropolis and these now told by two
most erudilc and honest gentlemen, Baby Noah and
BOBBY Brooke that for two years past they have
been fee ling poison and that what they taken fer
wit, vivacity, life and intelligence is nothing more
than lewdness, immortality and blasphemy. This
insult TO the understandings Of our readers embracing

A travelling correspondents of Silliman's

valuable aud beautiful mineral production
Of Ohio.
While at the former place., observed a
boat load of chrystaline sulphate of lime,
white as the driven snow, thrown carelessly
on the landing, amongst the dirt. 1t costs
about six dollars ton. 1t is in large mas

be thought valuable 70, alabaster vases, and
other ornaments. 1t is brought from Sar-
